By Stewart Doreen
The Battalion
The Texas A&M ladies softball
team used come-from-behind vic-
Jtories in route to a doubleheader
Isweep of Louisiana Tech on Tues-
|day.
In the first game, the Lady Ag-
Igies used a two-run double by
iBeth Gerken to overcome a one
[run deficit in the bottom of the
[sixth inning. The two-out double
Igave the Lady Aggies a 5-4 lead
[which they preserved despite a
[seventh inning scare from the
[Lady Techsters.
With two on and two out in
[the top of the seventh, relief pitch-
[er Christy Bunting got Tech's
[Tammy Johnson to ground out to
[third to end the game. Kim Gon-
[zalez received the win raising her
[record to 2-1.
In the finale, the Aggies fell be-
[hind 4-1 early in the game and re-
[mained behind going into the bot-
[tom of the seventh.

Comeback rallies help Lady Aggies to wins
Allen leads No. 5 A&M
by Southeastern Louisiana
By Jose de Jesus Ortiz
The Battalion
Freshman outfielder Chad
Allen blasted a home run, triple
and three RBI's as No. 5 Texas
A&M remained undefeated (4-
0) by downing Southeastern
Louisiana 10-2.
With shortstop Robert Harris
on base, Allen, who batted third
in the lineup, set the pace in the
first inning when he cracked a
two-run blast for his first career
home rum over the left field
wall, which he said he was glad
someone retrieved it for him.
"1 got all of it," Allen said.
"It was a straight change-up, so
I waited on it and hit it pretty
well. Luckily, I got all of it.
"I'm going to send the ball
home and keep it in my room
forever."
Head coach Mark Johnson
said Allen get the chance to
translate his hitting prowess to
the pitching mound. Johnson
said Allen, without any unex
pected circumstances, will pitch
the ninth.
Allen's play helped junior
transfer Justin Atchley collect
his first career victory. Atchley
pitched five innings, allowing

A&M men's basketball returns to G. Rollie against Houston
Burket 'silently' leads Lady
Aggies to record season start
By Drew Diener
The Battalion
The Texas A&M men's basket
ball team returns home to G. Rollie
rite Coliseum tonight to face the
Jniversity of Houston at 7 p.m.
The Aggies (14-6, 7-1 in the
Southwest conference) will try to
jet back on the winning track after
falling victim to the University of
Texas in Austin Saturday. The loss
broke the Aggies' eight-game SWC
winning streak dating back to last
season.
'We put that game behind us,"
x&M junior forward Joe Wilbert
said. "We've got six games left in
:onference and we need to focus on
those six games.'
Houston (4-16, 2-7 in the SWC)
has won two of their last three
games, including a 76-64 upset of
Texas Tech University on Saturday
in Houston.
With such a big win, Houston
head coach Alvin Brooks said his
team is excited about their rematch
with A&M. In their first meeting
Jan. 19 in Houston, the Aggies de
feated the Cougars 67-60.
"We know they (A&M) will be
ready coming off the loss at Texas,"
Brooks said. "We're ready for this
type of game now.
"I'm anxious to see how our
young guys are going to step up to
this challenge."
The Cougars have been led by
sophomore forward Tim Moore
who is averaging 18.8 points per
game in SWC play and is a leading
contender for SWC Newcomer of
the Year honors.
A&M head coach Tony Barone
said stopping Moore, who had 10
points and eight rebounds against
A&M last time, is a concern for the
team.
In addition to Moore, the play of
senior guard Anthony Goldwire
and junior forward Jessie Drain has
been instrumental in the Cougars
recent success.
Goldwire is averaging 17.6 ppg
this season including a 29-point
performance against Texas Christ
ian University last week. The 6-
foot-7 Drain has canned 40 three-
pointers this season.
A&M senior point-guard David
Edwards said he anticipates facing
a tougher Cougar team this time
around.
"I think they are going to try to
knock us off," Edwards said.
"Hopefully we can maintain and
stay on top."
Barone said he is optimistic
about the remainder of the season
and do not intend to look past
tonight's game.
"I thought our kids had a good
focus," Barone said. "I know
they're anxious to get back on the
court."

Beth Burket, who has silently
contributed to
the Lady Ag
gies best start
in A&M histo
ry, will help
the Texas
A&M
women's bas
ketball team
try to defeat
the University
of Houston
Lady Cougars
tonight.
Beth Burket
Burket, a 6-foot-l senior for
ward, has quietly helped the team
to a 8-1 Southwest Conference
record and 16-4 overall. She is is
the only senior starter on the team
and is averaging 8.8 points, 4.8 re
bounds, 2.5 assists and 1.4 steals
per game.
Although she said sophomore
Lisa Branch is the team leader,
Burket said she brings a type of
leadership and experience that
four years at A&M might bring.
"I'm pretty much a role play
er," she said. "I do whatever
needs to be done.
"I'll say whatever needs to be
said if Lisa doesn't say it. I do
what I can to help us win."
Head coach Lynn Hickey
agreed.
"She's a quiet leader-a leader
by example is Beth Burket," Hick
ey said.
Branch said Burket always
comes up with the big rebound
when needed and when she's hot
she's not going to miss.
