Rollie White Coliseum today at 7 p.m. Although A&M head coach Tony Barone said a win against UNLV is no more important than a win against any other team, senior point guard David Edwards said the "devastating loss" last year makes the game extra special. "When you lose to a good nationally known team like UNLV," Edwards said, "given the fact that we didn't lose by that much , but we lost, and we had a chance of winning and didn't take advantage of that, we will be hyped. "It is sort of personal. (It's) nothing personal against the (UNLV) players, but a personal thing with us to win or lose. Everybody wants to do what it takes to be a win ner, and we are going to do the things it takes to be a winner." UNLV's senior All-America candidate point guard Dedan Thomas said it is not fair to compare last years game because the Runnin' Rebel - minus J.R. Rider, Kevm ivy/THE Battalion p vr p c Gray and Dexter Boney - are a different team from guard David Edwards looks for a free pair the one t ^ iat defeated the Aggies. A&M's win over Montana State Monday. See UNLV/Page 6 Lady Aggies roll over Lamar, go 6-0 By Nick Georgandis The Battalion The Texas A&M women's bas ketball team continued their quick start out of the gate by blasting Lamar University 85-55 at G. Rollie White Coliseum Tuesday night. The Lady Aggies' record now stands at 5-0, the team's quickest start since a 6-0 beginning in the 1977-78 season. Six Lady Aggies scored in dou ble figures, led by sophomore cen ter Martha McClelland who had 13. Sophomore guard Lisa Branch recorded a double-double with 10 points and 10 assists, while junior forward Cami Williams added a ca reer-high 10 points. Williams said the team was able to score at will against the Cardi nals because of A&M's balanced at tack. "Last year we really didn't have the perimeter shooters that we do now," Williams said. "It always helps to have a perimeter game and an inside game, and now we have both." Lamar's highly-touted senior center Travesa Gant led the Cardi nals with 15 points and a game- high 19 rebounds, but also recorded an unwanted triple-double by turn ing the ball over 10 times. Once again, A&M's victory was padded by solid team defensive play. Head women's basketball coach Lynn Hickey said the key was the zone defense that frustrated the See Lady Aggies/Page 6 mm * ai Kyle Bumctt/THE Battalion Aggie sophomore guard Donyale Canada attempts a lay up against Tuesday night against Lamar University but was called for charging.
