The Battalion by Jeff Millar & Bill Hinds Page 9 ady Ag netters fall to B YU By Michelle Bergeron The Battalion The 23rd-ranked Texas A&M vomen’s tennis team fell to No. 21 Irigham Young University 6-3 londay. Due to wet courts at the Omar Smith Tennis Center, the teams ilayed the singles matches at the loyal Oaks Racket Club, and re turned to Omar Smith for doubles after the courts dried. Ninth-ranked Lynn Staley im- aroved her overall standing to 16-4 vith a straight sets win in the No. 1 jingles match, 6-3, 6-4. Although Staley ovensowered her opponent, phe had to fight back from a 0-3 defi cit to win the second set. “I felt confi- lent today,” Jitaley said, “but I was worried nbout the dif ferent court speeds because >ur newly re surfaced courts Hire so much ■ lower than ■hese (Royal B)aks’ courts).

I think I was waiting on her to make mistakes and give up easy points and she wasn’t.” Although she won comfortably, Staley said she needed coaching to do so. “Coach (Bobby Kleinecke) saw that I was stressing,” she said, “so he came out and helped me get my fo cus again, and I went from there.” Still, Kleinecke had nothing but praise for Staley. “Lynn has the talent to play with anybody,” Kleinecke said. “Lynn’s getting getting better and better with each match. “That was a good player she beat out there today.” Senior Tami Agassi pulled off a hard-fought win playing second seed, but those were the only two wins in singles play that the Lady Aggies could muster. “I played a good match and I was really happy about it,” Agassi said. “It’s the toughest one I’ve played so far this year.” Kleinecke said he felt the girls competed extremely well and that all the matches were really close. Staley defeated Evica Koljanin 6- 3, 6-4. Agassi overcame Sarah Mugnaini 7-5, 4-6, 6-3. BYU’s Jennifer Holmes defeated u No. 3 Lady Aggie Cindy Churchwell 6-3,7-5. Janine Burton-Durham played a tough match for the Aggies, but eventually fell to Lesley Barbour 6-3, 4-6, 4-6. Lady Aggie fifth seed Jenny Graf was overpowered by BYU’s Fredrica Lentini 4-6, 2-6. Anna Schlumpf, No. 6 for the Ags fought hard but fell to Monika Kobi- likova 5-7, 5-7. The Lady Aggies went into dou bles play trailing 4-2, but only the team of Staley/Burton-Durham picked up a win. “Doubles-wise we’re a little weaker than what we need to be,” Kleinecke said. “We needed a match like this to show us where we stand in doubles.” Staley/Burton-Durham struggled with the team of Koblikova/Koljanin but came out on top 4-6, 6-2, 7-5. The team of Church well/Graf fell to Barbour/Lentini 2-6, 1-6. BYU’s Holmes/Robinson defeated the team of Agassi/Schumpf 3-6, 4-6. Klei«ecke praised BYU. “They were an excellent team, solid all the way down the lineup,” Kleinecke said. “I was very proud of the way all our girls hung in there. It’s really the first tough match that they’ve played.” oyas hang on at No. 25 lepanmenii; ffed witW :i independc d and cans! an emergen; >ar emergen; 'theresoiK ospital, we; ostanymee casewhaiji: equiresmafj ore than m don't won) ;: for you-k-. •k.

Consecutive conference losses last week to Connecticut and Seton Hall sent the Hoyas into a free fall in The Associated Press college basket- ballpoll Monday, down seven notches from No. 18 to No. 25. | Seton Hall used victories over Georgetown and Pittsburgh last week to Squeeze into No. 24, the only new team in the poll this week. The Pirates replaced Texas, which split two games last week and slipped out of the rankings. f Defending national champion UNLV remained unbeaten with two more victories last week, running the Rebels’ record to 22-0 and keeping them the unanimous choice for No. 1 with a clean sweep of the 63 votes, i Ohio State’s double overtime victory over Indiana may have made for great basketball theater but it had little impact on their places in the poll, ■'he Buckeyes (22-1) remained No. 2 with 1,501 points, and the Hoosiers (22-3) are still No. 4 with 1,347. Squeezed between those two is Arkansas (25-2), which recovered from its loss to UNLV to punish Texas Tech by 18 points and Texas Christian by 33 last week. I After the unchanged first four, the poll experienced a severe shakeup with just one team, No. 22 Pittsburgh, unchanged from last week. I Syracuse (22-3), which went over 100 points in victories over Provi dence and Boston College last week, improved from No. 7 to No. 5, and North Carolina (19-4) also moved up two places to No. 6 after beating Wake Forest and Maryland. But a loss to Wake Forest cost Duke (22-5) two places, down from No. 5 to No. 7. Kansas (19-4) climbed three notches from No. 11 to No. 8 after beat ing Missouri and Kansas State, while Arizona (20-5) tumbled from No. 6 to No. 9 after losing to unranked Georgia Tech. Utah (24-2) jumped four places to No. 10 following wins last week against Wyoming and Brigham goung. } The Second Ten is Southern Mississippi, Kentucky, East Tennessee State, Nebraska, New Mexico State, Oklahoma State, UCLA, St. John’s, LSU and Virginia.

Stockton had 18 points and 18 as sists as the Jazz rolled past the Spurs 104-81, moving into a tie with San Antonio for the Midwest Division lead. While praising Stockton, however, Brown refused to blame his back- court crew. “I don’t think you can fault Avery (Johnson) or Clifford (Lett),” he said of the pair who shared point guard duties with veteran Paul Pressey in the absence of injured starter Rod Strickland. “San Antonio is one of the class teams in the league,” said Karl Ma lone, who led Utah with 26 points and grabbed 16 rebounds. “You shouldn’t have a hard time getting up to play a team of the Spurs’ cali ber.” Thurl Bailey had 17 points for Utah, which had six players scoring in double figures. David Robinson led the Spurs with 26 points. The only other San Antonio player to score in double digits was Sean Elliott with 12 points. “I thought our guys came out and played as well as they have all year long,” Jazz coach Jerry Sloan said. “Everybody was involved in our de fense and everybody was alive and that was a really big part of the ball- game.” The Jazz broke away late in the first quarter and built a 55-39 lead at the half. The Spurs scored the first basket of the second half, but that was as close as they could get. Karl Malone scored 11 points in the first quarter, in which Utah and San Antonio took turns producing scoring runs. The jazz went on a 14-2 run to lead 14-6, and San Antonio briefly regained the lead with an 11-2 spurt. Utah went ahead for good by ending the quarter with a 10-2 run for a 26- 19 lead. San Antonio pulled within 26-25 early in the second period, but Stockton’s nine points and five as sists powered a 26-6 burst and Utah led by 16 at the half. The Jazz stretched the advantage to 69-46 with 4:15 gone in the third quarter, and the advantage was 77- 61 going into the final period. With 4:43 to play, Utah built its biggest lead at 94-69, and the Jazz substituted freely.

I That was the route Chuck Daly took, beginning his basketball coach ing career in a town best known for its resident groundhog. The trail wound through a couple of college coaching pit stops, four years as an NBA assistant at Philadelphia, a brief less-than-brilliant stop in Cleveland and a longer, much better one at Detroit. Now Chuck Daly gets the reward for all those practices, all that stomp ing along sidelines, all that yelling at referees. He will coach the 1992 U.S. Bplympic team, a club that could have Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan in the backcourt, Patrick Ewing in the middle, maybe Karl Malone and (Charles Barkley on the wings. I “It could be fun,” Daly decided. | Fun? It might be coaching nirvana, like landing in the proverbial pot of jam. So, uh, coach, what system do you think you’ll use? “I will adapt to the personnel,” Daly said, his eyes twinkling as he thought about the possibilities. “I’ve coached at every level in every way and that’s how I’ve always done it. You do what the personnel does best. You tailor a system to their skills.” Daly started coaching in Punxsutawney, where he earned $3,600 a year — “$3,000 for teaching, $600 for coaching,” he said. He moved to Boston College and Penn, to the NBA, first as an assis tant, then as head man at Cleveland, where he went 9-32 in his first pro head job, and finally to Detroit, where his Pisto ing on winning a third consecutive NBA championship. The Olympic assignment is the last piece of his personal puzzle. “I think anyone who has an opportunity like this sees that it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity,” he said. “If you’re a (coaching) lifer, it’s the ulti mate dream. And I am a lifer.” iWLAF teams draft quarterbacks, receivers | ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Brent Pease, who spent two years with the Houston Oilers and part of a season in Canada, was the first quarterback selected in the World League of American Foot ball draft by the Birmingham Fire. I Former Notre Dame quarterback Tony Rice, perhaps the best-known player available, went on the second round, the 16th player taken overall. He was selected by Barcelona. Rice finished fourth in the 1989 Heisman Trophy voting. The new league, which opens its season March 23, is conducting position-by-position drafts in preparation for training camps that begin Mon day. E Pease got his chance with Houston as a re placement player in the 1987 strike. Another strike replacement, Kevin Sweeney, was taken second by the Montreal Machine. Sweeney played for Dallas during the strike and later for the Cowboys and §an Francisco. ■ Many of the players taken had similar experi ences. || Selected third was Mike Perez, who played briefly for the New York Giants. He went to the Frankfurt Galaxy. He was followed by Mark Maye of North Caro lina to the Raleigh-Durham Sky hawks; Scott Er- ney of Rutgers, the Barcelona Dragons; Kerwin Bell of Florida, the Orlando Thunder; Jason Garrett of Princeton, the San Antonio Riders; Ben Bennett of Duke, the Sacramento Surge; John Witkowski of Columbia, the London Mon- archs, and Todd Hammel of Stephen F. Austin, the New York-New Jersey Knights. All WLAF teams will operate similar no-hud dle offenses. “In the National Football League, the quar terback is responsible for 60-percent of the offen sive production,” World League president Mike Lynn said. “We expect the quarterbacks in our style of play to account for 70 or even 75 percent of the offense, so today holds even more significance for our clubs than you might expect.” Pease, 26, passed for 3,056 yards and 30 touchdowns in 10 games as a senior at Montana in 1986. He was drafted by the Minnesota Vi kings in 1987 before going to the Oilers. Birmingham coach Chan Gailey said he re membered Pease’s play with Houston and it was a factor in drafting him. “I was on the Denver staff when he quar terbacked Houston and they beat us in a presea son game,” Galley said. “I remembered that. “Brent has worked with wide-open offenses before, especially with Houston, and that’s the way we’ll be. He came highly recommended by coaches who have worked witn him.” “The league has given me the opportunity to establish myself as a football player again,” Pease said. “It’s very exciting for me, as it is for all of these players.” Forty quarterbacks were selected in four rounds of drafting Monday, followed by eight rounds of wide*'receivers and three rounds of tight ends. Yhe draft continues with defensive linemen Wednesday and linebackers Friday, con cluding with defensive backs on Sunday. Raleigh-Durham chose the first wide receiver of the draft, Clarence Seay, a 5-foot-9, 166- under from Texas-El Paso, who also returns icks.
