The Bobcats broke it open in the

A&M women's basketball survives poor-shooting drought,
out-rebounds Lady Horned Frogs to clinch 18th win
By Jose de Jesus Ortiz
The Battalion
The Lady Aggies had their second-worst
shooting performance of the year yesterday,
but pulled down 63 rebounds -32 offensive-
and downed Texas Christian University 86-
65.
Texas A&M senior forward Beth Burkett,
who scored scored 16 points and led A&M
on the boards with a career-high 1, said the
Aggies were not bothered by their shooting.
"Everyone wants their shots to fall," Bur
kett said, " but we did such a good job re
bounding that it didn't bother us."
Head coach Lynn Hickey also said she
was not worried by the shooting because
A&M (18-5, 9-2 in the Southwest Conference)
hustled and Most of the players saw action.
"We have a lot of kids," Hickey said.
"And as a coach, a good way to keep team
unity is to give kids a chance to play.
"I am not going to be down by beating
someone by 20. We scored 83 points, got 63
rebounds and played 14 players; I am very
satisfied."
Sophomore center Martha McClelland 22
points against TCU (5-17, 1-11 in the SWC)
tied her career-high scoring and was her
fourth 20 point-plus scoring performance
this season.
McClelland said her teammates did a
good job getting her and sophomore center
Kelly Cerny the ball.
"Each time we took the ball down court,"
McClelland said, "the focus was for us to
put it in to me and Kelly."
The Lady Horned Frogs trailed Texas
A&M 28-25 with 7:37 left in the first half,
but that was the closest TCU got to A&M
the rest of the way and started the second
half 43-33.
The Lady Aggies went on several six-
point scoring drives, and Hickey, with 4:00
minutes remaining in the game, took out
most of the starters.
Only sophomore point guard Lisa
Branch, who scored 12 points and had six
assists, played more than three quarters of
the game for A&M.
The Battalion
The Texas A&M Lady softball
team, coming off their champi
onship weekend, split a double-
header with the Lady Mavericks
of the University of Texas at Ar
lington.
The Aggies lost the first game,
wasting a strong performance by
freshman pitcher Christy
Bunting. The Aggies gave up
two runs in the top of the seventh
and had their comeback come
one run short in the bottom of the
seventh.
The Aggies offense that had
come to life during this week
end's tournament was shut
down in the first game by UTA's
Christina Grimes, who held the
Aggies to one run on five hits.
Despite the lack of offense, the
Lady Aggies seem quite pleased
with Bunting's 10-strikeout per
formance.
"She had every reason to win
the ball game," assistant coach
Shawn Andaya said. "If we'd got
a couple hits here and there
maybe we would have won."
Bunting's record fell to 0-4, but
Andaya insists that the record is
quite deceiving.
"Two of the losses are against
Arizona, which is the No. 1 team
in the nation, in which she did
pitch a great game," Andaya
said. "I think Christy is going to
be one the most promising pitch
ers of the future."
The Lady Aggies got their
wake up call in the second game.
After UTA scored one run in the
top of the first, the Aggies used a
double by freshman Mary Mapp
to start the hitting onslaught and
to build a 3-1 lead after the first.
That lead would stay safe with
staff ace, senior Kim Gonzalez on
the mound. However, Gonzalez
did get help when Gina Perez
made a run-saving, diving catch
with two on in the top of the
fourth.
Gonzalez raised her record to
7-3, allowing only four hits over
the five innings she pitched and
the Lady Aggies went on to win
