Looking
past the
three con
secutive let
downs that
have
dropped
A&M from the Southwest Con
ference championship race,
A&M's program has dramati
cally turned around since
A&M head basketball coach
Tony Barone's 6-22 inaugural
season in 1991-92.
The team is 17-9, although
it's uncertain which direction
A&M is going. But we do
know where they have been.
The pain that is learning has
burned the basketball team
during Barone's tenure in Ag-
gieland, as he has rebuilt from
the ashes that were handed to
him.
Barone entered the A&M
program only to find himself
beset by pressure and obstacles
that would test any coach's
ability and dedication. And,
perhaps, sanity.
Barone stepped in to be
rudely greeted by two years'
worth of NCAA sanctions
which were generously left

The Battalion
Ihe Texas A&M women's termis team expects
to rise to the top of the conference despite an
early season injury and the youth of the
team.
"We're one of the favorites in the conference
along with Texas," said Head Coach Bobby Klei-
necke. "As long as we keep working and keep
improving good things are in the future for us."
The Aggies, who are 6-2 in the spring season,
will look to senior Janine Burton-Durham to take
the reigns as the No.l player for the second
straight year. Despite being the only senior in the
starting line-up, the team's abilities doesn't re
quire much leadership on her part.
"The team has shown character and leadership
on their own," said Burton-Durham. "I just try to
guide them as much as I can."
Kleinecke also said the team is young, but they
are not showing it in matches.
"This team has a lot of chemistry and they are
never giving up," Kleinecke said. "They finish off
the matches well which is a sign of maturity."
Three sophomores, one junior and a freshman
will join Burton-Durham in the singles line-up.
Freshman Nancy Dingwall is living up to the
high expectations that followed her from Houston
Stratford High School where she was a three-time
All-American.
Dingwall has a 7-1 record this spring and has
taken the team's No. 2 positon.

Pate between sets on her singles tennis match.
Sophomores Wilson Pate and Lonna Logan
will fill the No. 3 and 4 spots in the Aggie line
up.
Pate, who is 3-2 at this spring at 3 spot, should
make a big impact with her solid net play. Logan,
an overpowering player with a wide array of
shots, is 6-2 this season.
Junior Christine DiNardo, the Southwest Con
ference champion at the No. 5 spot, is back from
an early season injury and should give stability to

A&M pulled away by halftime,
grabbing a 44-27 lead behind 51.7

the Lady Aggies led by 6-foot-4

Cerny. Baylor's tallest player is 6-
1.
McClelland made 11 of 13
shots and Cerny scored 16 points
