Diederich also took fourth on the three-
meter springboard.
“We knew we had to win both boards
to add to the team’s point totals,” Diving
Head Coach Kevin Wright said. “That
added a bit of pressure to the meet.”
For the three seniors on the team, win
ning the meet meant just a bit more, as it
was their last dual meet in the home pool.
“This was a good experience on se
nior day,” senior Neil Randall said. “We
had lots of fun and swam well as a team.
This was our best meet since LSU —
everyone responded well.”
The Aggies soundly beat, what tradi
tionally has been a powerhouse team. SMU
fought back against A&M’s early lead by tak
ing first in a few of the events in the middle
of the meet, such as the 200-meter fieestyle,
the 200-meter butterfly, and the 200-meter
backstroke. These event wins are what
brought SMU’s score close to the Aggies go
ing into the last relay.
“It was a team-wide effort,” Nash said.
“We did well across the board. The 50-
free was a great surprise, and it is nice to
know you can count on the divers to
make points, too. We definitely felt the
home pool advantage today.”
Lady Aggies split wins
with Houston, SMU
By Courtney Lyons
The Battalion
TheTexas A&M Women’s Swimming and Diving Team
had an up-and-down weekend, beating the University of
Houston Friday and suffering a pounding from second-
ranked Southern Methodist University Saturday.
The weekend began well, with the Lady Aggies win
ning 124-91 over Houston. A&M took first and second
place in the 200-meter medley relay, and freshman Tracy
Evans won both the 200-meter intermedley and the 100-
meter butterfly. Diver Jodi Janssen gave a solid perfor
mance on the boards and took second place in both the
one- and three-meter springboard competitions.
“It wasn’t a real emotional meet,” Women’s Swim
ming Head Coach Don Wagner said. "But we swam off
events, and I was pleased with the way we competed.”
The Lady Aggies commanded such a large lead
by the end of the 100-meter freestyle, that A&M
swam the last three events as exhibitions (where no
score is taken, but the time can still qualify the par
ticipant for the NCAA championships).
The tables turned the other way, the next afternoon,
when the SMU Lady Mustangs came to town. The Lady
Mustangs won the 400-meter individual medley relay and
then swept first through third in the 1,650-meter freestyle.
They did not let up the rest of the meet.
The Lady Aggies still fought hard but were no
match for powerhouse SMU.
“We were flat, and that was my fault, ” Wagner said. “To
day was not an indicator of where we are as a team.”
Several Aggies gave solid performances. Junior Sta-,
cie Karnes took third in the 200-meter butterfly,
sophomore Tammy Lee took third in the 200-meter
backstroke, and sophomore Lauren Buckalo garnered
second on the 200-meter breaststroke.

The Green Hornet was nowhere

nternship oppori-Basketlrdll Team took on the
va State Cyclones Saturday night
G. RoiJie White Coliseum. But
to showed up in full force.
The 6-foot-11 behemoth cen-

dgrabbed 10 rebounds to lead
ellth-ranked Cyclones to a 71-

id themselves down 53-48 with

open the game, hoping to shut
down the Cyclones in the paint. It
did not work out quite as they had
hoped, as Cato and undersized for
ward Kenny Pratt found the holes in
the zone to combine for 21 points
and 17 rebounds in the first half.
The Cyclones were able to get
the ball to the middle, making the
Aggie zone collapse high in the
paint, leaving the hulking Cato to
roam the baseline and collect an
assortment of alley-oop dunks,
short hook shots, and put-backs.
"He’s really athletic, can
jump, can run ... He rebounds
hard,” junior center Dario Que-
sada said. “I think he was a big
factor on their inside game.”
After being down early 13-3,
the Aggies closed to 21 -15 on se
nior guard Tracey Anderson’s
three-pointer with four minutes
left in the half and were down just
32-23 at halftime. Iowa State
scored 13 points off Aggie
turnovers in the first half, com
pared to just two for A&M.
“I thought our kids came out

probably a little bit bothered early,”
A&M Head Coach Tony Barone
said. “But we hung in there, and we
got to half time with only a couple
of guys with two fouls, which is
what we had to do. Then we made
a run in the second half.”
As usual, A&M started the sec
ond half with a flurry, matching the
Cyclones shot for shot, with Quesa-
da and sophomore forwar d Calvin
Davis opening up the outside and
inside, respectively.
After being held scoreless in
the first half, Davis erupted for
12 points after half time, in
cluding a spectacular, lunging
dunk and a foul with Cato
hanging all over him.
“Cato got in foul trouble, and I
guess he wasn’t going to play too ag
gressively,” Davis said. “I was able to
get position and get the ball.”
Quesada continued his shoot
ing barrage with 13 second-half
points to finish with a team-high
19, to go along with 14 rebounds.

Iowa State's Kelvin Cato slams one
down against the Aggies Saturday.
By Chris Ferrell
The Battalion
After the battle of the paint was all
said and done, it was the Iowa State
Cyclones who left G. Rollie White Col
iseum as a group of happy trees.
Iowa State senior center Kelvin Cato
proved to be a sequoia as the 11th-
ranked Cyclones (15-3,6-2) defeated the
Texas A&M Men’s Basketball team (8-10,
2-6) 71-57 Saturday night.
Cato was eight for eight from the
floor and had 10 rebounds but it was
his five blocked shots, all in the first
half, that helped him establish himself
and the Cyclones in the paint.
“The thing that he does as a shot
blocker — and this is what good shot
blockers do — they step back,” Head
Coach Tony Barone said. "The guys who
try to block shot when you’re right next
to them, those are not great shot block
ers, those are foulers. This kid has a great
knack for stepping away and making
you think that he’s not coming and then
blocking your shot.”
The 6-foot-11 Cato put the Aggies
in a catch-22 situation.
“What they do is they put you in a
tough bind,” Barone said. ‘And the bind
is, if you guar d (senior point guard Jacy)
Holloway aggressively, they have (senior
guard Dedric) Willoughby on the wing,
and he’s gonna hit the three.
“You’ve got to make a decision, are
you going to go out and play Willoughby
or are you going to sink in a little bit and
watch the play that they are going to run
for Cato? So it’s a double-edge sword. We
chose to really get out on Willoughby
more, and I think (Iowa State coach) Tim
(Floyd) will tell you that Cato has missed
a number of dunks in games.”
A&M stayed with the zone defense
that helped them win their last two
games, despite the fact that they only
dressed eight players. The 3-2 zone was
effective in shutting down ISU’s perime
ter play as they held Willoughby, the Big
12’s leading three-point shooter, to three
for 11 from the field.
