Women's tennis to play San Diet
By Sara Duesing
The Battalion
Escaping the wind and rain of Col
lege Station, theTexas A&M Women’s
Tennis Team travels to California this
weekend for a two-match road trip.
For the first time since 1990, the No.
27 Lady Aggies (4-1 overall, 1-0 Big
12) will face San Diego State Univer
sity in San Diego. The two teams re
unite today at 2 p.m.
“We don’t know a whole lot about
them,” senior Julie Beahm said. “They
are known for good tennis, and it
should be a very tough match.”
Head A&M Women’s Tennis
Coach Bobby Kleinecke said the
rainy weather has been a burden on
the practice schedule.
“The weather isn’t helping us to
prepare,” he said. "We’ve had to
cancel a few days of practice and it’s
been tough.”
Finally, the team resorted to in
door courts in north Houston to get
in a practice on Tuesday.
Kleinecke said despite the lack of
practice he feels confident going in,
with a strong singles lineup consist
ing of players such as senior captain
Nancy Dingwall, Beahm and junior
Vanessa Rooks. The Lady Aggies,
though, have never beaten San
Diego in California.
"We are going to need wins out
of the top people in singles," Klei
necke said. “Our doubles are not
bad, but we’ve had some weird re
sults lately.
“The girls are working on it and
are understanding what needs to
be done.”
Beahm said she is looking for
ward to the trip and the competi
tion because it is a break from con
ference play.
“This will be our nicest trip, and
we don’t have the pressure as if it
were a conference match, although
this can help uspreparefoi
the future,” she said.
Because the competiiil
affect their conference rani
will be a good opportuninl
up in the polls, Kleinecke:
"They are in the top25,1
a chance to solidify creditl
t ionwide,” he said.
Beahm said the team J
this like any other match J
centrate on its opponent: 1
“We’re just going to :|

Aggies take on TCU Horned Fro!
By Dennis Ramirez
The Battalion
As the Texas A&M Men’s Tennis Team travels to Fort
Worth to attempt to tame the 1 Ith-ranked Texas Chris
tian University Homed Frogs, two disappointing loss
es linger in the minds of its members along with
thoughts of redemption.
After dropping two heartbreaking matches, the Aggie
netters are in the heart of the season with six matches in ten
days, they now must pick up the pieces and get back on track.
“The two matches so far we have played hard but
have made some fundamental mistakes which we
had been working on in practice,” Head Coach Tim
Cass said. “At some point you talk about refusing to
lose, and the guys are working hard but somebody
has to step up in clutch situations. We have lacked
that a little, and now it just has to happen.”
Senior Robbie Krause is hoping the experience,
gained from of the close losses will be something the
team can fall back on as they face TCU.
“While they (the losses) were heart breakers, they weren’t
absolute heartbreakers because we have gotten a lot out of
them,” Krause said. “While we have been doing everything
really well, to win at this level you must play great to win a
match. As for TCU, they are definitely the best team we have
played. They have always been tough, and we aren’t ex
pecting any easy matches. As long as we keep on working
hard and keep our consistency, a win will come.”
During the last two matches the entire dual match
has come down to a single match to decide who walked
away with the win.
Through this, the younger individuals on the team
have been able to make the necessary adjustments. As
freshman Tony Young said, changes have been made
since the first match.
