Monday Pagi January 27, Aggies come up short against Longhor By Courtney Lyons The Battalion TUDEEr EEMErir RAftCl Q • for no dough at all. Coming into Austin to swim against the fifth-ranked University of Texas Men’s Swimming and Div ing Team is no easy task. But the 20th-ranked Texas A&M Men’s Swimming and Diving Team put up a good fight in their dual meet against the Long horns Saturday. Several Aggies swam their season bests and pulled hard at the end of their races but fell short by 13 points, 113-100. The A&M 200- meter freestyle re lay team surprised many by pulling away and taking the race over the exhibition team from Texas. “It was tough coming in here (Austin) because my family was here to see me." Mark Naftanel A&M diver All meter individual medley to take second place. “The team is finally showing some signs of life (after the train ing trips to Hawaii and Califor nia),” A&M Head Swimming Coach Mel Nash said. The 500-meter freestyle proved to be a great race for the Aggies, with sophomore Jason Miles tak ing second place, and freshman Tim Campbell pulling ahead of UT’s Ricky Kovatch to take third place. Nash said he en joys bringing his team to compete in Austin, because of the strong winning tradition of the UT aquatics programs. “They have a great facility and great American veterans, sophomore Jer- rod Kappler and junior Kyle Mar- den, looked strong as Kappler took first in the 50-meter freestyle and second in the 100-meter freestyle, while Marden captured first in the 100-meter breaststroke. The A&M freshmen also showed a command of the pool, as Kevin Kehlenbach took second in the backstroke, and Devin Howard pulled up from behind in the 400- coaches,” Nash said. “They are one of the class programs in the country.” Nash said there is no real rivalry be tween the two teams, they respect each other and are good friends. Only two of the three diving events were held — the one- and three-meter springboard. Aggie sophomore Mark Naftanel won the one-meter competition, but took second in the three-meter event be hind UT’s David Clark. “It was tough coming itorials appe -s of the edi essarily ref I iff members its, admin isi st columns, nions of the tact the o p i ting guest ec Freshman Scott Taylor takes of from the starting block in his 200-m individual medley race in a dual meet with Tennessee last weekend. in here (Austin) because my family was here to see me,” Naftanel said. “I was fine on my approaches, but I was missing the bottom of the dives.” A&M Diving Coach Kevin Wright said although Naftanel has been performing the dives well in prac tice, Naftanel may have felt some Since the ring to hav leaders, lovernment noffs to be , , ucial Board pressure competing on boards* , , ■ which he was so familiar.

With the game knotted up at 19-19 and 6:30 remaining in the first half, Brown ignited the crowd by blocking a Kansas State layup and followed it by hitting a three-point basket which drew a foul. “We all feed off each other,” Anderson said. “He (Brown) hits a three, everybody’s ready to go. He (Davis) gets those three-point plays, Brian gets a steal, everybody just sort of feeds off each other.” Barone led the Aggies in as sists with seven and helped break down a Kansas State, Barone said the team was not ex pecting to see. Barone said he does not consider the youth of the play ers a problem on the court. "You don’t think about it when they’re playing,” Barone said. “You can get a litde nervous when you look out there and see that they (the young players) are out there, but we’ve played a lot of games now. “Jerald has hit some big shots in the last couple of games and Brian has made some good as sists in games, and some steals. I don’t know that you can worry about that anymore, you just have to go play.” Their performances left A&M fans believing the future is now.

In the sec ond half, I thought we did a much bet ter job of penetrating and hitting the baseline people, and Jerald hit a couple of threes that also helped us.” Despite suffering a cut over his right eye in the first half and receiving stitch es at halftime, Davis rose to the occasion during the second half. Davis shrugged off his stellar perfor mance, deferring credit to his teammates. "I was just open and my teammates got me the ball where I could score close to the basket and put it in the hole,” Davis said. When it was all said and done, the Ag gies played what was probably their gut siest effort of the season, garnered their first Big 12 win, and got rid of one huge, eight-game losing streak. “It’s a credit to these kids — it was their game and they took it,” Barone said. “We had a game plan, they execut ed it outstandingly and they found a way to make plays today.” Siam and Wire Reports >r the second time in the last wa. um.The j-bi onstitution y.
