The No. 19 Texas A&M Men’s Ten
nis Team knocked off No. 30 TCU, 5-
2, Thursday af
ternoon at the
Omar Smith
Tennis Center
and will travel to
North Carolina
this weekend to
take on No. 40
University of
North Carolina
and No. 13 Duke
University.
The Aggie
Cass
victory brought to an end A&M’s
seven-match losing streak to the
Horned Frogs, which dated back to
1994, when the two schools were
still doing battle as SWC foes.
For only the second time this
season, A&M (10-2,4-1) started the
match by losing the doubles point.
Freshmen Rafael de Mesa and Cody
Hubbell won their match, 8-5, but
that would be the only doubles vic
tory the Aggies could muster.
Coach Tim Cass expressed his
disappointment in losing the dou
bles point against the Horned Frogs.
“I feel like our doubles is better
than anybody’s in the country,”
Cass said. “So I get down when we
lose (the doubles point).”
In singles play, de Mesa won a
three-set batde with TCU freshman
sensation Esteban Carril, 6-4,5-7,6-4.
Having a much easier go of it for
the Aggies in singles play were senior
Carlos Tori, freshmen Shuon Mad
den and Cody Hubbell and junior
Brent Horan. All won in straight sets.
Hubbell, a College Station native
who attended A&M Consolidated,
said Thursday’s victory was an im
portant one for the Aggies.
“This is a really big win for us;
this past month we’ve had a lot of
tough matches that we’ve grinded
out, and to get another win today
was huge,” Hubbell said.
After a month-long homestand,
the Aggies will take to the road for
their next five matches, starting
with UNC and Duke.
“We have a lot of respect for
Duke and North Carolina," Cass
said. “We know them well and un
derstand their style of play well.”
Tori, A&M’s team co-captain,
stressed the importance of this
weekend’s matches.
“This will be a really big weekend
for us,” he said. “They are tough
road matches, but we need to win
them to accomplish our goals.”

The Texas A&M Women’s Tennis Team (13-6, 6-3)
travels to Tennessee this weekend to meetup with Mid
dle Tennessee State and Vanderbilt.
Coach Bob Kleinecke said MiddleTennessee State is
a team the Aggies can definitely beat, but they have a
good team and the Aggies still need to play hard.
Senior Monica Robolledo said she does not know
what to expect from Middle Tennessee State, but that
she expects everyone to play hard.
“I don’t think we’ve played them before,” Robolledo
said. “I expect everyone to do their best and try to win
the match. If everybody in the lineup plays their best, 1
think we can come away with a big win.”
Vanessa Rooks, senior captain of the team, said Mid
dleTennessee State will be a tough match for the Aggies.
“We can’t take them lightly,” Rooks said. “It’s really
important for us to concentrate on what we have to do,
and go in there and take care of business.”
Kleinecke said Vanderbilt is a good team, but
they have weaknesses, and the Aggies can take ad
vantage of the weak points.
He said the Aggies need to hit their;,
right places and be ready to fight.
Robolledo said the Aggies
played Vanderbilt a couple ofyears
ago in a close match with Vander
bilt coming out on top.
She said Vanderbilt is a good
team, but if the Aggies believe in
themselves they can get the win.
Rooks said she thinks the Van- lifers sto
derbilt match will be tough, and ■fjtest of pro-cl^*
the Aggies have to go into the jjJ^fcndannu;
match with certainty. iom Saturday.
