Russo, Dillard
bring Lady Ags
to higher level
W ednesday night will mark
the end of an era in Texas
A&M women's basketball.
Sheri Dillard and Dena Russo will
end their regular season careers
against Texas Tech in Lubbock.
The two seniors did something for
women's basketball that I thought
was impossible — they turned me
into a fan.
Shawn Medlock, Jennifer Fasnacht
and Vanessa Edwards are also se
niors, but it was Dillard and Russo
who rose above the crowd.
The two combined unique playing
styles to push women's basketball at
A&M to a new level. The Lady Ag
gies began the 1992 Southwest Con
ference season with four straight wins
for the first time ever and beat the
Texas Longhorns for the first time in
14 years.
The season quickly soured as the
Lady Aggies lost five of their next six
games. But whatever the record or
score, Dillard and Russo always
fought. They played with styles that
were uniquely their own.
A 6-foot-l forward from
Friendswood, Texas, Russo was a
scorer and rebounder. In a loss to
Houston on Sunday, she became the
ninth player in A&M history to score
a 1,000 career points.
During her four years as an Aggie,
Russo has used a combination of out
side shooting and inside power to be
come one of the SWC's top players.

A&M gives way to Bears
Wesley, free throws shoot down
second half Aggie comeback
By Chris Whitley
The Battalion
On Feb. 19, the Aggie basketball team
traveled to Waco and ended its Southwest
Conference drought with a win over Bay
lor.
Monday, the Bears returned the favor.
David Wesley's record-setting free
throw performance shut down a late
A&M rally to give the Bears a 79-69 win at
G. Rollie White Coliseum.
A&M's record fell to 5-20 for the year
and 1-11 in the conference with its fourth
straight defeat. The Bears improved to 13-
14 and 5-10 in SWC action. It is Baylor's
third consecutive win at A&M.
Wesley set up camp at the free throw
line, hitting a Baylor record 20 of 25 for
the night. He attempted the second most
and converted the fifth most free throws
ever in a SWC game en route to a 35-point
evening to lead all scorers.
Wesley's free throws kept the Bears in
the game after the Aggies staged a come
back late in the second half. Down by 26
points with 14:40 to play, A&M picked up
the pace with a 15-4 run over the next six
minutes.
The Aggies followed with a 16-5 run to
cut the deficit to six with 1:06 left. How
ever, when A&M started fouling, Wesley
countered with five straight free throws to
secure the win.
"Obviously, he was the difference,"
A&M coach Tony Barone said about Wes
ley. "He's a great player, and I think he's
a superb guard. The thing I like about
him more than anything is that he has
great strength. We had nobody to contain
him."
Corey Henderson provided the spark
in the Aggies' comeback run, racking up
16 of his team-high 18 points in the second
half.
"We had a good run, but it was a little
too late," Henderson said. "We need to
do that the whole 40 minutes instead of 20
minutes."

Johnson punches back into lineup

A&M junior guard David Martin slips a pass between two Baylor players in the
first half of the Aggies' game against the Bears Monday at G. Rollie White
Coliseum. A&M lost to Baylor 96-86 and dropped its fourth straight game.
Freshman forward Damon Johnson re
turned to the A&M lineup Monday night
in the Aggies' game against Baylor and
picked up where he left off six weeks ago.
The 6-foot-5, 227-pound Johnson, who
had been sitting on the end of the bench
for the last month and a half to let a frac
tured bone in his left foot heal, stepped
onto the G. Rollie White Coliseum floor
with 11:13 left in the first half and added
muscle to an A&M lineup in need of a lit
tle punch.
Less than a minute after his entry,
Johnson took a pass from David Edwards
and punched in the first two of 14 points
he would eventually get in his first night
back. The freshman would go on to play
19 minutes and be an integral part of an
A&M second half rally that ended in vain,
96-86.
On Jan. 14, in the first half of the Ag
gies' game against the Texas Longhorns,
Johnson left his Southwest Conference
Freshman of the Year ballots behind him
when he hobbled to the A&M bench with
