a 142-95 win against SMU. Before
the match, the Aggie seniors were
recognized for their contributions.
Head swimming coach Mel Nash
gave the seniors credit for the Ag
gies’ recent success.
“When these guys started, we
were ranked 33rd,” he said, “and
we have moved up to 14th in the
nation.”
Morrow turned in the most im
pressive victory of the day, coming
back from a late deficit to win the
200-yard freestyle by six hundredths
of second at 1:38.98.
Kappler closed out his season
with victories in the 50-yard (20.19)
and 100-yard (44.55) freestyle.
Naftanel repeated Friday’s per
formance, taking first in the one-
and three-meter springboard events.
“I think we are ready,” Nash
said. “We went 8-1 (in dual-meet
competition) when we were under
the gun every meet, but our guys
just refused to get beat.”

STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS
The Texas A&M Men’s Tennis
Team duo of Dumitru Caradima
and Shuon Madden won the
men’s doubles portion of the
Rolex National Intercollegiate
Indoors in Dallas this weekend.
The sophomores, ranked
eighth nation
ally, defeated
the tourna
ment’s No. 2, 5
and 10 seeds
on the way to
Sunday’s final,
which saw the
Aggie duo de
feat No. 3
seeds Jeff Laski
and Gavin Sontag of the Univer
sity of Illinois, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4.
“What a tournament these
guys have had,” A&M coach
Tim Cass said. “It’s really a trib
ute to the way they have been
working all fall and this spring.”
The Rolex Indoors is the
third leg of the college tennis
grand slam.
The men play their first dual
match of the spring in Houston
Tuesday against Rice University.
The A&M Women’s Tennis
Team got off to a strong start at
home on Saturday, dominating
the Southwest Texas State Uni
versity Bobcats en route to a 9-
0 sweep at the new Varsity Ten
nis Center.
The Aggie women (1-0) took
six of six singles matches and
three of three doubles matches,
all in straight sets.
Aggie netters Lisa Dingwall
and Monica de la Torre each won
their matches without allowing a
point by their opponents.
Women’s tennis coach Bobby
Kleinecke said the match gave
the Aggies a chance to iron out
any problems in their games.
“I think we got out what we
needed from this match,” Klei
necke said. “I am pleased that
we are 1-0, and this match
helps us work out some of the
kinks.”
The women’s team will next
play Saturday against Louisiana
State University.
