with road victories over
Baylor, No. 7 Texas Tech
By Nick Georgandis
The Battalion
G oing into the final week of the season, the
Texas A&M women's basketball team
holds its destiny in its own hands.
The course is clear. If the team wins its two re
maining games, it wins the Southwest Conference
championship.
The road to the championship will not be easy,
though, as the team must play its last two games
on the road, first at Baylor on Wednesday night,
then at Lubbock against No. 7 Texas Tech on Sat
urday in a season-ending showdown.
The Lady Aggies kept pace with the Lady
Raiders on Saturday by mauling Southern
Methodist , 103-85, in front of a crowd of 877 at
G. Rollie White Coliseum.
The 103 points was the third highest point total
for A&M ever, and the win moved A&M's overall
record to 19-5(10-2 in the SWC)
The Lady Aggies were once again led by the
brilliance of sophomore point guard Lisa Branch,
who scored 27 points, dished out 11 assists and

UNO Privateers pilfer series
against 'slumping' A&M squad
By Kristine Ramirez
The Battalion
The Texas A&M baseball team
dropped two of three games against the
University of New Orleans during the
weekend.
A&M failed to capitalize on Billy
Harlan's home run and two hits during
the Aggies' last game on Sunday, as
UNO won 5-2.
The Privateers scored in the third in
ning when UNO rightfielder Scott
Krause drove in two runs with his two-
out triple.
Designated hitter Sean Hicks drove
in Krause after Aggie third baseman
Lee Fedora committed a throwing error
to first baseman John Curl.
Hicks then scored on a double by
third baseman Chris Powell.
A&M answered with a run in the
fourth inning on Tommy Collard's sac
rifice fly.
Aggie right fielder Chad Allen re
placed pitcher Trey Moore in the sev
enth inning and gave up a home run to
Hicks.
Moore had seven strikeouts, but al
lowed four runs on five hits.
Allen pitched three innings with two
hits, one run and two strikeouts.
A&M scored their final run on a
home run by Harlan in the seventh in
ning.
Harlan said A&M was out played
during the entire this weekend.
"They were better than us this week
end," he said. "We had a few errors
here and there and we couldn't over
come them."
Harlan said the team is in a slump,
but will be ready to play against Sam
Houston State on Tuesday.
"It's something every team goes
through every year," he said. "We'll
work hard Monday and come back
Tuesday ready to play."
Head Coach Mark Johnson also said
A&M is not playing well and needs to
get back on track.
"We have to fight our way out of it,"
Johnson said. "That can be done, and I
would be shocked if we can't get it
done."
Johnson said the Aggies were mak
ing too many defensive mistakes to win.
"We're making stupid mistakes," he
said. "Defensively, we have been
killing ourselves."
