The 5 foot 7 sophomore dominated the lavericks last time they met by striking out ine and surrendering just three hits. Coach Evans has yet to designate a arter for Saturday’s game against rkansas. “ii “I 11 get a chance to see [Arkansas] play a busine ridav and will decide on a starter then,” Evans said. On the whole. Coach Evans said she was pleased with the way her pitchers per formed Tuesday. “I thought both pitchers were very good,” Evans said. “If they pitch like that we’ll do well. They just have to keep their consistency.” Evans said she was glad to get rid of the first game jitters and feels that the women have a chance to do well in the tournament. “1 think we have a very good chance to win our pool if we keep making plays de fensively and stay aggressive on the offen sive side,” she said. Regarding the play of Freshman Lisa Klam this past Tuesday Coach Evans said, “Klam played well and hit the ball hard. I was pleased to see her go opposite field with her triple and her home run.” The Aggies are 6-1 all time versus Tulsa and 65-14 against UTA.

A&M coach Bobby Klei- :ke said not only does the itch have regional implica- ns.lbut is generally a good 'dictor of success. “Year in and year out, it’s a y big match for us,” he said, he [team that wins gets a id |tart into the NCAA Re nal because we’re [LSU and M][both usually at the top, it’sla very important match us but it’s not something 1 put all the marbles in. We’re going to learn a lot whether we win or not.” LSU comes to town after back-to-back 6-0 wins over the University of Southwestern Louisiana and Southern Uni versity. The Tigers are led by Ana Paula Mores who Kleinecke said is the only player with the potential to play a strong net game. “LSU is a very scrappy team,” Kleinecke said. “They make us hit a million balls. It’s one of those matches you have to work extremely hard to win. We’re very similar and that’s why it’s such a long match usually. “We’re going to have to play well down low [in the lower ranked matches] and push them at the top of the lineup. I feel like we’re really going to need to compete in all areas of the lineup. If we get some wins at the top, it should make the match easier for us.” A&M is coming off a 9-0 win over Southwest Texas State University last Saturday. Despite the dominating win, Kleinecke said it is hard to use the victory as a benchmark for the rest of the season. “It’s hard to learn a whole lot about yourself,” he said. “We’ve got to work out a few kinks, get some serves down and get the mindset of starting another year. ” MIKE FUENTES/Tm: Battalion Cody Hubbell, sophomore tennis player, will travel with the team this weekend to face OU and OSU.
