The Lady Aggies have an overall record of 22-23 and a Big 12 record of 2-6, but the team is hoping to add two more wins to that list against the Lady Kats. Assistant Head Coach Joy Jack- son said the doubleheader will be more of a confidence builder than anything else. ‘‘We are looking forward to a nice break with these non-conference games,” Jackson said. “We are ex cited to go up against pitching that is not in the Big 12, which will hope fully get us back into the groove we were in before last weekend. Our players will have the opportunity to hit hard and make the big plays we have been lacking.” The Lady Aggies already have beaten the Lady Kats twice tins year, but senior first baseman Mya Iru- elove said they will have to play the Lady Kats as if they were the best team in the nation. “Anytime we play Sam Houston you can’t take them lightly because they really want to beat us,! clove said. “Of course this will nice breather and we shouldL two wins from them, buteveryte can have their best day anytimt we have to expect that.” j Senior outfielder HeatherHt den said the Lady Aggies need: take advantage of this opporte by playing well in every inning. “We always have onebadimt in our games, and if we get that mental-lapse inning we slml do well,” Hayden said. “Thetear. playing well and our catcher doing well with throwing ped out, so we are hoping to wai» with more confidence than whan go in with.” Hudson Continued from Page 7 Nelson said Hudson has positioned herself for a pos sible NCAA berth. “Right now she’s third in the Big 12,” Nelson said. “If she stays strong and healthy mentally, then she’ll be ready for the Big 12Tournament. The other ladies com peting in the heptathlete will fall apart, but I know she’s not going to.” Hudson has an additional source of motivation this season — her new training partner and younger sister, freshman heptathlete Desi. “I think it’s a big advantage because she’s constant ly coaching me and telling me things as we train,” Desi EXTRA SHOPPING HOURS FRIDAY 8 AM ’TIL 11 PM said. "A lot of people have to come in and train on own. It really helps to have someone to train with “We push each other a lot. It’s good for herandfon Ceci said she has enjoyed training with younger sister. “It’s been awesome,” Ceci said. “Last year wasn’t at A&M so we didn’t get to spend asm time together as we’re used to. It’s been nice mester to get to see her every day. We've ah* been best friends." Although the dynamic duo appreciate the time have together, Ceci said she has to watch herselfto from being an overbearing sibling. “I have to backoff," Ceci said. “Even though it's® some we do the same thing, I have to let her do her thing. Sometimes I forget.” FRIDAY ONLY RED APPLE SALE EARLY BIRD SPECIALS 8 AM-12 NOON EXTRA 40% NORTON McNAUGHTON & AMANDA SMITH O Misses, petites, women’s. Includes jackets, skirts, pants, blouses.
