Lady Aggies face familiar foi
By Nicki Smith
The Bati align
The Texas A&M Softball Team is looking to add two
more wins to its season-high six-game winning streak
as it takes on Sam Houston State University for the fifth
time this season in a doubleheader. The Lady Kats
come to the Lady Aggie Softball Field at 5 p.m.
The Lady Aggies currently have a record of 28-23
with their last four wins shutouts.
Despite the fact A&M has beaten the Lady Kats four
times this season, Head Coach Jo Evans said the team
is looking forward to playing them.
“It will be good to play them again because they are
really familiar to us,” Evans said. “Their pitching is fa
miliar to us and we know how they have three or four
hitters who are very aggressive at the plate. They can hit
it our way so we can’t get lazy and we can’t play to some
one else’s level.”
The Lady Aggies will have no problem remember
ing the Lady Kats because they faced each other only
a week ago in Huntsville. The Lady Aggies captured a
6-3, 5-4 sweep, extending A&M’s all-time series lead
to 55-13.
The series record puts Sam Houston as A&M’s sec
ond-most common opponent in program history.
Junior right fielder Tanya Klecker said the Lady Ag
gies are pretty optimistic about being able to pull off
another sweep against the Lady Kats.
“We are going into today’s doubleheaders very con
fident,” Klecker said. “We are looking at these games as
practice time because our practice schedule was so
light this week.”
In addition to having the home field advantage and
being a dominating force against the Lady Kats, the
Lady Aggies also have the Big 12 Player of the Week, se
nior Lori Gioco, pitching for them.
Gioco has an overall record of 15-11 and most re
cently captured back-to-back shutouts against the Uni
versity of Texas.
More impressively, Gioco allowed a total of only eight
hits in 21 innings while posting a meager 1.00 ERA.
Evans said despite their confidence, the Lady Aggies

are not going to take Sam Houston lightly, andaitj:

“When you take a team lighdy you are asking! |
beat,” Evans said. “We are going to start withom
lar nine because I am not one to mix things up t jj
you do that the players start to think you areij
things lightly."
The Lady Aggies will resume Big 12 Conferentt; I

Bicyclist races against canct
BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) — A
year ago, Lance Armstrong was all
strength and endurance in win
ning a big cycling race in Belgium.
Now— after cancer, chemothera
py and brain surgery — his race is
about survival.
“At this time last year, I was in a
state of grace,” he said. “Today, I’m
alive. It’s a victory in itself.”
Armstrong’s last major cycling
victory came at the Walloon Arrow.
He will not be competing this year.
He is 25 and fighting cancer, and
that is more than enough.
Armstrong and Greg LeMond
are the only Americans to have
reached the pinnacle of world cy
cling. In both cases, tragedy struck
in mid-career.
LeMond was shot in a hunting
accident in 1987 but came back to
win a third Tour de France. Arm
strong, the 1993 world road race
champion and winner of two stages
of the Tour de France, can only
dream of such a comeback.
Last fall, he was diagnosed with
testicular cancer that had spread to
his lungs and brain. Then came
chemotherapy and a brain operation.
In January, Armstrong spoke of a
return by mid-season. But the deep
scars on his bald skull belied such
optimistic plans.
“I was sick then and noticed peo
ple were looking strangely at me,”
he said in interviews with Belgian
papers leading to Wednesday’s Wal
loon Arrow.
Now Armstrong has a full head of
hair and has even been to the bar
ber again. He looks and sounds
more upbeat than during that dark
winter. He says he is training be
tween two and five hours a day.
Yet, at the same time, the pre
dictions on his return are much
more careful. He has no timetable
for his comeback.
“My doctors advised me to
take my time,” he said. “I don’t
know whether I’ll come back this
year. At the same time, I have no
idea whether I will regainmi'
form again.”
