Rags Wednesday • February 15, Women's tennis pummels Rice Owls / 8 lume lO By Dennis Ramirez The Battalion Just as the wind was out with all fury at the Omar Smith Tennis Center yesterday, so was the Texas A&M Women’s Tennis Team. The 27th-ranked Lady Aggies (4-1) clobbered the 28th-ranked Owls (3-2), 8-1, in the midst of winds gusting over 25 mph. A&M Head Coach Bobby Kleinecke said the key to the victory was the team's ability to learn from its loss to Texas Christian University last week. “What it boiled down to today is that we were able to come out here and men tally handle the wind bet ter,” Kleinecke said. “That was the key to the match which allowed us to pick up the win. The team has really been able to mature and grow since the loss to TCU, and I felt good about how they handled the pressure situations today.” Those pressure situa tions were evident and “The team has really been able to mature and grow since the loss to TCU ” Bobby Kleinecke A&M head coach Rony Angkriwan, The Battalion Sophomore Monica Rebolledo returns the ball against Rice's Jennifer Velasco. overcome by the freshman doubles team of Leslie Dees and Kathyrn Scott as they faced the 32nd-ranked doubles team in their match against Rice’s Lewis and Gagnon. Senior Nancy Dingwall credits the team with coming out and taking care of business. “They (Dees/Scott) played really well and had a great match,” Dingwall said. “As a whole, the team came out knowing that we had a tough match and every body came out and played well. I felt good out there, even though the wind was really tough. Once I got going, everything was good and started working for me.” Dingwall and her sis ter Lisa found them selves on the short end of the stick in doubles play, which wound up being the team’s only loss. In singles play, the elder Dingwall found a different story. She defeated long-time rival Paula Myslivecek in straight sets. “Last year the match lasted six years, and normally it’s that type of match, but when you get a win like this there is not any analyzing, you just look ahead,” Kleinecke said. “What made it possible to win so quick was that we were able to come out and win five of six first sets and hold off their late runs. Nancy did an excellent job against a girl that has given her trouble in the past, but she stuck to her game plan and executed.” The Lady netters were able to go out and win the match in swift fashion despite gusting winds as they put two straight wins under their belts. Kleinecke insists on sticking to the fundamentals and executing as they go into their first Big 12 conference match against the Nebraska Cornhuskers Saturday at the Omar Smith Tennis Center. “The first few matches of the season were warm-ups to see where we stood. Having these wins is really going to help going into conference play,” Kleinecke said. “We now have to go out and play every match hard because if we do not we will get beat. We don’t know too much about Nebraska. We will just have to study them and take one match at a time while we grow on what we have accomplished this far into the season.” then mferem agmeni ternatiom livisions in ications fo Student C J at Texas At Rvenly-sevi Iferent count I Rony Angkriwan,' Freshman Lisa Dingwall backhandsij against Rice at Omar Smith TennisCei Same team, different venue for Aggies jazz rough up Spy By Matt Mitchell The Battalion Sophomore and Gionet Stew Milne, The Battalion forward Calvin Davis battles Tech's Tony Battle (#24) Cooper (#22) for the rebound Feb. 12 at G. Rollie White. Having dropped a 62-60 decision to Oklahoma State University last Saturday, the Texas A&M Men’s Basketball Team finds itself with the unique opportunity to take another crack at the Cowboys this Saturday. The Aggies travel to the Gallagher-Iba Arena in Stillwater today, with tip-off slated for 7:05 p.m. The scheduling quirk marks the close of the season for the Aggies, who will play three of their final four games on the road. A&M Head Coach Tony Barone, who dislikes the scheduling of an opponent in consecutive games, identified sever al areas Saturday night in which the Aggies must improve if they hope to pull out a win. “They (OSU) were very physical,” Barone said. “I thought one of the things we did not do well against them was play physical defense. Even though we outrebounded them, I did n’t think we really physically went after them, and we’ll have to do that in Stillwater.” Several factors hindered A&M’s per formance Saturday. These factors, com bined with the knowledge the Aggies have played well this season away from G. Rollie White Coliseum, gives the Aggies confidence even though their 2-6 away record does not indicate such. “I think the bottom line is confidence on the road,” Barone said. “Our kids have played, for the most part, with pretty good confidence on the road. I think [the players] feel we can compete with anybody." The players said facing the same team twice in a row allows for relative ly easy preparation, but difficult game situations. Adjustments will be made, but each team knows the other’s pref erences and tendencies. There will not be many surprises. “I've never had to play a team back to back before,” freshman guard Jerald Brown said. “To prepare for the team, it wouldn’t be as hard, but to play against them ... will be pretty hard. "They’ve got a mean, nasty crowd arid they get after you quite a bit. And they’re used to winning back home, so it will be a tough place to play, a tough place to win.” SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — John Stockton had 19 and 10 assists as the Utah Jazz beat the San Spurs 113-105 Tuesday night.
