Women's tennis pummels Rice Owls / 8

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

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.”

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.”
