Sports Edito 5 PORTS Lady Aggies need one goal to win Early score by Robinson guarantees victory for soccer team T he Big 12 merger is still two years off, but in the last two weeks, Southwest Conference football fans have caught a glimpse of what the competition is going to be like. Surprisingly, it looks like the leftovers from the SWC are go ing to be able to hold their own when they lock horns with their new enemies from the heartland. In the last two weeks, the SWC has played five games with the Big 8, and has a solid 3-3 record to show for it. Take into account that one of those losses came via the University of Houston at the hands of Missouri Saturday at the Astrodome. Despite drawing an overflow crowd of 18,310 (that’s a joke) and only giving up 393 yards of total of fense, the Coogs just couldn’t score any points, and lost 16-0. That was Missouri’s first road win against a team outside their conference since 1981. You remember Missouri, don’t you? They’re the ones A&M beat 73- 0 last year. The Tigers aren’t that good, but the Cougars are infinitely worse. UH is 0-11 material. So, we’re looking at a 3-2 record against the Big 8. A&M thrashed Oklahoma last week in a convinc ing fashion, but the Sooners fig ured to have it easy this past weekend against Texas Tech at home in Norman. Even after los ing to the Aggies, OU was still ranked 21st in the nation, and went into their home opener Satur day as a 21-point favorite. Tech is rebuilding this season. Their offense was pretty much dev astated in the off-season, having lost quarterback Robert Hall and wide receiver Lloyd Hill to gradua tion, and super-back Byron “Bam” Morris to early departure to the NFL draft and subsequently, the Pittsburgh Steelers. Before 60,000+ fans in Norman, the game had all the elements of a classic blowout. But Tech held their own against the Sooners in losing 17-11. They were behind 14-0 early in the sec ond quarter, but were as close as 14- 11 late in the game. Tech had the ball on the Oklahoma 37 after recov- Please see Georgandis/Page 6 Stewart Doreen The Battalion A goal by sophomore forward Tina Robinson thirty seconds into the match was all the scoring the Texas A&M women’s soccer team needed in their 1- 0 win over the University of Tulsa Fri day at the Aggie Soccer Complex. “This game proves our girls can come out, score early and maintain our con centration for 90 minutes,” A&M head coach G. Guerrieri said. Robinson’s header in front of the goal was the result of a crossing pass from sophomore midfielder Kim Duda. Robinson said that it was important for the Aggies, 4-1-1, to get off to the quick start. “Before the game, G. (Guerrieri) told us that we were going to have to start out fast,” Robinson said. “He knew they (Tulsa) were going to start out fired up.” The Aggies offense cooled off as far as goals scored, but not from the lack of opportunities. The Aggies kept the of fensive pressure on the Golden Hurri cane by firing 18 shots on goal. This was a concern to Guerrieri who said the team’s productivity will improve with experience. “It’s frustrating when you outshoot a team 18-6 and only win by one goal,” Guerrieri said. “With our youth, com posure in front of the goal comes with experience. It is something we’ll be working on.” With a one-goal lead to protect, the Aggies used heavy defensive pressure to limit Tulsa, 2-3-0, to seven shots, de spite an injury to freshman sweeper Di ana Rowe. Sophomore Allison Buckley moved back from her usual midfield po sition to help keep the Golden Hurri cane away from the goal. “I’m really confident with Allison back there (at sweeper),” said A&M sophomore goalkeeper Sunny Mc Connell. “She’s a very intimidating player and she’s always there.” McConnell recorded the shutout, and has only allowed one goal in the last two and a half games. McConnell says the team’s communication is a big rea son for the recent success. “The defense is coming together bet ter,” McConnell said. “We’re talking better and making it easier for me to read the offense so I know when to ex pect shots. With every practice and every game, my confidence goes even higher.” The Aggies will end their three-game homestand when they host the Univer sity of Texas Sunday at 3 p.m. Mens tennis dominates 5-Way Invitational Unseeded Martinez wins singles final 6-2,6-3 over teammate Krause Staff and Wire Reports The Texas A&M men’s ten nis team dominated their own 5-Way Invitational this weekend, capped by junior Ed Martinez’s 6-2, 6-3 win in the singles final over team mate Robbie Krause. All four of the participants in the sin gles semifinals were Aggies. Martinez, who was un seeded in the tournament, said he was extremely pleased with the way he played over the weekend. “I played well and expected to do good in the tournament, but I didn’t know how good. “ Martinez said. “I played some close matches, and it feels great to win those.” Martinez reached the semifinals by defeating ju nior Eric Horan, the seventh seed in the tournament. 4-6, . ; A % i 6-2, 7-6, while Krause, the ' fourth seed knocked off ju nior Blake Arrant, the top seed, 6-7, 7-5, 6-3.

In the overall standings, the women’s team finished third out of the six squads competing. The women’s team was lead by Cecille Sangalang who finished 12th in the overall standings, freshman Traci Clark who finished 16th and junior Shan non Etchberger, who ended up 18th. While Hinze said he was pleased by the women’s performances, he sees plen ty of room for improvement. “I was encouraged with Shannon Etchberger’s performance, along with our three freshman, Traci Clark, Abby Mudroch and Milli Ondras, “ Hinze said. “Cecille Sangalang is running ex tremely well right now, but the women still have some work to do.” The men’s team also finished third among the six teams, and was led senior Brian Piper, who finished tenth overall. Seven members of the men’s team were among the top 20 competitors. Despite the loss of one of the team’s top performers, Hinze said the men ran well and got some valuable experi ence from the race. “Our number three runner dropped out with a cramp with less than a mile to go, so that hurt us, “ Hinze said. “But I though Piper and A1 Hernandez ran well, and the two freshmen, Goby Bullard and Dustin Stephens, got a taste of Division I with their first 8,000 meter race.” Next up, the teams travel to Lubbock to compete in the Red Raider Open, host ed by Texas Tech on Saturday, Sept. 24th.

Also competing in the tournament were players repre senting Baylor, Rice, Texas Tech and Texas Christian University. Texas A&M men’s tennis coach David Kent said he is pleased with the number of good players that will com prise the team this season. “We have good depth on the team, I feel confident about our young players as we get ready for the spring, “ Kent said. “We played power tennis and controlled the tournament.” September 19, 1970: Quarterback Lex James finds split end Hugh McElroy deep for a 79-yard scoring pass with 1 8 seconds left in the game to give A&M a shocking 20-18 victory over 12th-ranked Lousiana State University at Tiger Stadium.
