Rollie White Coliseum Saturday, with a balanced offense and senior guard David Edwards' second triple-double. A crowd of 3,835 was on hand to see Edwards score 13 points, grab 10 re bounds and dish out 10 as sists. Edwards said, however, that he has changed his philosophy to be more team- oriented. "It's the sec ond one of my David Edwards career, and it feels real good, but I don't care about that anymore," he said. "I don't pay attention to individual goals. Coming out of high school, all I wanted to do was score 30 points a night, but now I want a ring and a conference champi onship.

Individual performances boost teams outlook for outdoor season By Stewart Doreen The Battalion The Texas A&M track and field teams ended the 1994 sea son at the Southwest Conference Indoor Championships with many quality individual perfor mances, leaving them optimistic on their chances for the outdoor season. During the meet in which many Aggies produced season- best marks, Anjanette Kirkland produced the Aggies' lone SWC title as she continued her domi nance in the women's 55-meter hurdles. Kirkland defeated the field by a quarter of a second, establish ing a new SWC meet record time of 7.75. Kirkland and her coaches said that a mature mind set allowed her to perform at a record break ing level. "I've been focused on this race for a while," Kirkland said. "I just wanted to explode out of the box and roll." Assistant coach Abe Brown said the SWC tournament was important for Kirkland. "She was focused on the meet to win and on being an NCAA qualifier/'Brown said . The team did not fare too well in the team standings with the the men finishing sixth and the women placing fifth behind Texas who won men and women's titles. There were performances that have the coaches looking for a better outdoor season. • In the men's 3,000, Jason Reed turned in a huge effort cut ting his season's best time by 12 seconds , taking second place. •Dante Bolden used a strong finish to place second in the men's 55-meter dash. •Mike Miller ran a season's See Individual/ Page 6 cast a vrT as only otef • is the cori le's beeiri aid if the.'|| •atic, it’sj™ asking Vf reason r % because tvrB y andqualrp JA n Page 2 said the uperpoweij ns, but it if i from ofcf ed Nations States star 11 :erested in :an't andste ttersonsaii i Dedring. fficer for IE Human::::' 1 United' 'armarked: pid deploy s of peace ntion. ed should :urity and t and help:#' i," Dedrinr 100 student is A&Mafill he country: ference. inner takes all ■ 1* Jennifer McFalls pitches during the UTA tournament in Grand Prairie. The Lady Aggies won the tournament. Lady Aggies pull out championship at UTA tournament in Grand Prairie, gain experience versus ranked foes By Stewart Doreen The Battalion the Texas A&M softball team defeated the University of Oklahoma to win the Pep si/University of Texas-Arlington Inter-Collegiate Classic played in Grand Prairie this weekend. The Lady Aggies defeated the Lady Sooners 9-4 to complete a three-game final portion of the tournament during which they outscored their oppositions by a combined score of 31-4. The Lady Aggies bats awoke for the first time this season in an ef fort that was no surprise to head coach Bob Brock. "We are a talented teafn and just got to put it all together and go through a whole game," Brock said. The team's play is somewhat surprising considering the 1-3 record the team posted in pool play. The one win against Oklahoma State University, ranked No. 3 in the nation, was mixed in with early losses to nationally ranked Kansas, Northwestern, and Stephen F. Austin universities. The Lady Aggies were in a hole and asking themselves questions, knowing they had to perform bet ter if they wanted to win tourna ment, Brock said. "I told them they were still in the tournament," said Brock. "They knew that everyone had to stay up, contribute a little more and be in the ball game." The Lady Aggies took the ad vice and started the bracket por tion of the tournament against the Lady Cornhuskers of the Universi ty of Nebraska. Brocks words worked and the Lady Aggies crushed Nebraska, 9- 0, behind a Kim Gonzalez shut out. "We knew we were a lot better than the way we've been playing," Gonzalez said. "We came out tonight and played our game." See Lady Aggies/ Page 6 Photos by Kyle Burnett • Beth Berkin (top) slides into second during A&M's game against Stephen F.
