The tournament, which was also contested by the University of Georgia, University of Wisconsin and host, UTA, ended with A&M and the teams from Georgia and Wisconsin tied at 2-1. Georgia won the tournament on a tiebreaker despite losing to the Lady Aggies. The Badgers, who handed A&M its only defeat, finished third. A&M defeated the Lady Bull dogs in their tournament opener on Friday evening, in a two-hour long, five-game match that saw the Lady Aggies come from a 2-0 deficit to sweep the last three games and take the match. Georgia jumped out to a quick lead and looked as if they might dominate the match after taking the first game, 15-2, but the Lady Aggies regained their composure and fought back in game two only to be defeated, 16-14. With the momentum swinging the Aggies' way, games three, four and five were wrapped up 15-12,15-9 and 15-11. Junior outside attacker Sheila Morgan led the attack against the Lady Bulldogs, charting 13 kills and one solo block while hitting .435 for the match. On Saturday, the Aggies took on the Badgers and lost the match in five games after taking a 2-1 lead. Senior outside attacker Eliza beth Edmiston led the Lady Ag gies with 18 kills as sophomore outside attacker Karen Richards nailed down four serving aces. A&M needed just over an hour and a half to dispose of UTA in four games, 15-6,15-8, 8-15,15-12. Kim Mitchell, a junior middle blocker from Marshall, was named to the all-tournament team. Mitchell posted career highs of five service aces and 10 digs in the match against Georgia. Against Wisconsin, Mitchell turned in another solid perfor mance with 10 kills, seven blocks and nine digs. Lady Aggie head coach A1 Givens ran his Aggie career record over .500 at the Asics Tiger Tournament, coming home with a 107-106 mark. PLANO - For the Texas A&M women's soccer team, the name Karen Jones is one that they would probably not want to hear for a while. Jones scored both goals for Col lege of the Southwest Saturday, including the winning goal in overtime, to pull out a 2-1 squeak er over the Lady Aggies in their season opener. Southwest made the most out of a little, attempting only 11 shots in regulation play compared to A&M's 24. But they turned up the heat in overtime with seven at tempts, culminating in Jones' breakaway winner. Brittan Hlista led A&Minai tempts with 11, equaling Soul west's output in the first twt halves. Goalie Michelle Crol racked up seven saves in goal,fat ing 18 shots throughout the gam The Lady Aggies opened I scoring in the first half when Je& nifer DiTrapani headed in a nie Rebe assist, putting A&Miif 1-0. A&M's lead evaporated in second half, with Jones heading corner kick in on a Tara Fautecl assist to knot the game up goal each. The Lady Ags will try tore bound today in Plano when te face the University of Arkansas Fayetteville at noon. at out Favorites advance in Open THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Rangers shutout by Yankees THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Aggieland Staff Positions open: Business Manager Photographers Copy Writers Pick, up applications in room 230 Reed McDonald.

For information call 845-2681 NEW YORK - Scott Kamie- niecki stopped Texas on three hits until the New York Yankees broke it open with six runs in the eighth inning to beat the Rangers 7-0 Sunday. Don Mattingly, celebrating his 10th year anniversary in the big leagues, singled home a run in the third inning. The Yankees broke it open in the eighth. Roberto Kelly and Danny Tartabull hit RBI doubles off Todd Burns and Mel Hall had a two-run single and Matt Nokes hit a two-run homer off Brian Bo- hanon. New York wound up 3-3 at home against the Rangers. Texas has never won a season series at Yankee Stadium, losing 15 times and splitting six others. Jose Canseco got two hits for the Rangers. But, batting with a 3- 1 count and the bases loaded in the fifth, he flied out to the warn ing track in left field to end the in ning. Canseco had a broken-bat sin- f le in the first as Texas loaded the ases with one out. The Rangers, hitting just .213 with the bases loaded, failed again as Dean Palmer popped up and Ivan Ro driguez flied out. Kamieniecki (5-11) was pulled an inning short of his first major league shutout. He struck out five and walked three. Curt Young worked the ninth. Scott Chiamparino (0-1), pitch ing in the majors for the first time since elbow trouble finished him on May 25, 1991, allowed one run on five hits in seven innings. He struck out three and walked two. NEW YORK - Michael Chang, a sparrow among eagles, flits around the stadium court at the U.S. Open trying to prove he can soar with the biggest and best in tennis. Wielding a racket nearly half his size and wider than his chest, using his brains to compensate for his lack of brawn, Chang is in the fourth round after his third straight-set victory, 6-3, 6-3, 6-1 over Arnaud Boetsch on Sunday. The fourth round, though, was Chang's stopping point here three times — 1988, 1989 and last year. In two other appearances, he got knocked out in the second and third rounds. The smallest and lightest of men's players at 5-foot-8, 145 pounds, he is seeded No. 4 and is never among the favorites to win on these fast, hard courts. The Open simply suits big, booming servers like Stefan Edberg, Pete Sampras and Boris Becker, the last three winners. Ivan Lendl, a 2-6, 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 winner over Chuck Adams on Sunday, captured three Opens and reached five other finals from 1982 to 1989 on the strength of his serves, the power and steadiness of his groundstrokes, and his in domitable mental attitude. Edberg, seeded No. 2, moved along in defense of his title with out dropping a set, going intothi fourth round by beating fello* Swede Jonas Svensson 6-4, 6-2,6 2. Edberg will play Richard Kra jicek, a 6-1, 6-3, 6-2 winner ovei Mark Woodforde Becker advanced, 6-1, 4-6,7-6 (7-1), 6-3, winner over Germaii compatriot Carl-Uwe Steeb, lose! up a match against Lendl. Wayne Ferreira, another power playei, beat Wally Masur 6-4, 6-4,6-2,and will next face Emilio Sanchez, a6 7, 6-1, 6-7 (7-4), 7-6 (7-3) 6-4 win ner over his brother, Javier. Size and strength also areas important as willpower in the women's game at the Open, where the hardest hitters have dominated in recent years. Defending champion Monica Seles, tall and lanky and pummel ing groundstrokes as hard as ever, moved along easily into the quar terfinals Sunday with a 6-1,6-2 victory over Gigi Fernandez Gabriela Sabatini, a 6-1, 6-3 win ner over Sabine Appelmans, advanced to the quarters didn't show nearly the poweroi aggressiveness she displayed taking the title in 1990. Patricia Hy, like Chang, is small at 5-4, but she beatoneof the tallest, 6-2 Helen Sukova, 6-1, 7-6 (7-2), with the same craftiness and mental fortitude she showed in upsetting Jennifer Capriati. Hy's mental strength will oe put to the ultimate test in the quarter against Seles.
