By Sara Duesing The Battalion With a boost of confidence from two recent wins, the Texas A&M Women’s Tennis Team prepares to face Texas Christian University at Omar Smith Tennis Center today at 1:30 p.m. Weather permitting, the Lady Aggies will continue their six-game homes- tand as they work to wards building skills and confidence. Although A&M is favored, Head Women’s Tennis Coach Bobby Klei- necke said the team has been looking forward to this game and the beginning of re gional play since last fall. “We can finally think about this [game] and not have other stuff get in the way,” Kleinecke said. “We gained momentum with the first couple of games and we’re ready to go now.” Although the Lady Aggies defeated the Lady Horned Frogs last spring, TCU has some new additions to its team this season who may prove to be substan tial threats. “If we’re not ready to play, they will jump up and bite us.” Bobby Kleinecke A&M head coach ut A&M only shot .246 I ’s junior center ion had 30 points,lontinued from Page 7 is and was 8-of-9 if ; throw line.

She she was “scared.' ■ Schrader Continued from Page 7 “She has a great work ethic and is a very dedi cated athlete, and that is what will allow her to ac complish her goals,” De La Garza said. “She is a good team player and she is not selfish, but at the same time she is extremely competitive. “That, combined with the fact that she is a hard worker and pushes herself on and off the track, is what has allowed her to be successful early in her college career.” Off the track, Schrader is the president of Aggie Athletes Involved and is on the leadership team of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Senior thrower Russell Nuti said he is im pressed with Schrader because she remains one of the most focused individuals on the track. “She is very involved and that takes up a large amount of time, but she is still very focused at what she is doing,” Nuti said. “She enjoys to throw and that is what allows her to be so good. Last year she barely missed going to nationals and that was a big accomplishment, but this year we all expect her to be there.” So while it’s hard to imagine such an involved and dedicated person clunking around a 20-pound ball of metal or throwing a disc, do not envision the Russian prototype “Drago” from Rocky VI. “The Russian hybrid is a big misconception,” Schrader said. “I am not like that and my only goal is to get stronger and better, not bigger and machine-like. Always doing well has always been important and being able to contribute to the team is of utmost importance as well. I would just love to fulfill my ultimate goal of com peting in the Olympics.” Aggies Continued from Page 7 Battie said the Raiders were aware of the success the Aggies have had recently on the boards and knew that whichever team held the re bounding advantage stood a good chance of winning the game. Tech edged A&M 41- 26 on the boards. “We came in here know ing that A&M goes to the board extremely hard (with) Calvin Davis and (center Dario) Quesada,” Battie said. “They do a great job of getting to the loose balls as they come off the rim, so we kept that in mind, boxed out, and Outlast Continued from Page 7 Tech junior Corey Carr, the Big 12’s second leading scorer, took advantage of a thin Aggie team to seize control of the game. Carr scored 14 of his 22 points during the final stretch. Following the game Barone said that Carr was the de termining factor. “Carr really took over in the second half,” Barone said. “And I think that was the difference in the game.” In the end, the effort the Aggies had to put into their two runs, caught up with them. “I guess you can say we just got a little bit tired or just quit executing our plays,” Davis said. “They’re a good veteran team with really great players.” were able to come up with the ball.” As expected, Tech’s tan dem of center Tony Battie and forward Cory Carr were the workhorses for the Raiders, making play after play when the Aggies threat ened to take over the lead. Carr scored 17 of his 22 points in the Second half, and Battie nabbed 17 re bounds to go with 19 points. “Carr really took over in the second half—I thought that was the difference in the game,” Barone said. “I know he had four shots where he just took us. I thought we played pretty £ood defense on a couple of them, but he just beat us and made the shot.” rwteea Street POST OAK MALL 693-6429 K. Mon-Sat 7 Sophomore Monica San Miguel said the team is focused on the win but also hopes to build strength and stamina for the rest of the season. “Everyone is focused and ready for the tougher competition,” San Miguel said. “I think we’ve been practicing hard and we’ve taken care of business in the two easy matches.” After facing TCU, the Lady Aggies will welcome Louisiana State University and Rice University be fore beginning con-, ference play with the arrival of the Univer sity of Nebraska. Kleinecke said A&M would be disap pointed without a win against TCU. “We just want to compete at every single match,” Klei necke said. "If we’re not ready to play, they will jump up and bite us.” San Miguel said the Lady Aggies are working hard to be more consis tent and increase aggressiveness on the court. “From now on,” she said, “we are real ly going to concentrate and stay focused. We all look ready for the tougher competition.” 9pm«No Cover Back by popular demand: the Crazy English Guy!
