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.”

Schrader

“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.”

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

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.”

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

Kleinecke said
A&M would be disap

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.”
