Monday • February 12, 1996 Page 9 • The Battalion UTs Freeman squashes Frogs Photo Courtesy of The University of Texas Sports Information Department University of Texas senior guard Reggie Freeman recorded his first triple-double Sunday afternoon. □ The Longhorns' All-American candidate recorded the team's first- ever triple-double Sunday. FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Reggie Free man registered Texas’ first-ever triple-double and Lament Hill scored a career-high 26 points in the Longhorns’ 102-81 victory over Texas Christian Sunday. Freeman added 10 assists and 10 rebounds to his 22 points. He had 18 points, six assists and seven rebounds at half time as Texas (14-6, 7-2 Southwest Conference) rock eted to a 58-28 lead. Freeman didn’t secure the triple-double until there was less than two minutes re maining in the game when he pulled down his 10th rebound on a missed shot by TCU’s Juan Bragg. Freeman has taken over the traditional role as the Longhorns’ “go-to guard” so far this season. Last year, he averaged just over 10 points per game as a sixth-man off the bench, but was limited in his playing time by the pres ence of All-Southwest Conference performers Roderick Anderson and Terrence Rencher, both of who now play in the NBA. Hill scored 16 of the Longhorns’ final 22 points of the first half. His previous best was 16 points. Texas’ Sonny Alvarado added 20 points, marking the first time this season three Long horns have scored 20 or more points. Alvarado is now averaging nearly 16 points per game. Damion Walker and Bragg each had 21 points to lead the Horned Frogs (11-12, 2-6). TCU scored 53 points in the second half, but the Frogs never got closer than 19 points. Alvarado Stars continue downward spiral at home □ Hartford defeated Dallas 5-3, dropping the Stars to 0-7-3 in their last 10 home games. DALLAS (AP) — Robert Kron scored the go-ahead goal on a power play with 11:26 re maining and Andre Nikolishin had three assists as Hartford heat Dallas 5-3 Sunday, ex tending the Whalers’ winning streak-(to five games. Kron-iadded an empty-netter with 19 seconds to play and Brendan Shanahan and Nel son Emerson had a goal and an assist each, helping the Whalers keep the Stars win less in their last 10 home games (0-7-3). The Whalers’ special teams sparkled, scoring four power- play goals in five chances and getting a shorthanded goal from Brad McCrimmon. Jere Lehtinen scored twice and Bill Huard added a first- period goal for the Stars, who are in the midst of the fran chise’s longest home drought since since the Minnesota North Stars went 0-9-1 on home ice from Jan. 4 to Feb. 4, 1978. Lehtinen’s second goal of the game and third of the sea son came on a rebound of his own shot with 14:16 remain ing, pulling Dallas into a 3-3 tie with the Whalers. US sweeps Mexico in Davis Cup □ Michael Chang and Todd Martin dominat ed their opponents. CARLSBAD, Calif. (AP) — The United States, whose wealth of tennis talent allows it the lux ury of changing Davis Cup play ers from round to round, swept Mexico on Sunday and faces a tougher test against the Czech Republic in April. Michael Chang, who started the sweep by beating Leonardo Lavalle on Friday, downed Ale jandro Hernandez 6-0, 6-2 on Sunday. Todd Martin, who beat Hernandez on Friday, edged Lavalle 3-6, 7-6 (7-1), 6-4 Sunday as the Mexicans won their only set of the five matches. The United States clinched the first-round victory a day ear lier when Patrick McEnroe and Patrick Galbraith beat Lavalle and Oscar Ortiz in doubles, es sentially turning Sunday’s sin gles into exhibition matches. With five players ranked in the top 14 internationally, the United States, the defending Davis Cup champion, has consid erable options. Chang is ranked No. 5 and Martin is No. 14. Mexico’s high est ranked player was Hernan dez, an 18-year-old ranked No. 205 in the world. Team captain Tom Gullikson plans to use eight to 10 different players during the course of the Davis Cup this year if the Unit ed States continues to advance, but has not said who will be in cluded on the team. He indicated that No. 2 Pete Sampras, who led the United States past Russia in the Cup fi nal last year, will play some this year, but that top-ranked Andre Agassi is leaning toward the Olympics instead. No. 8 Jim Courier is a distinct possibility for the U.S. squad in the second round against the Czech Republic, likely in Prague, April 5-7. While the United States was shutting out Mexico over the weekend, the Czechs were sweeping their first-round matches against Hungary.
