The Texas A&M softball team will be in
rand Prairie this weekend to compete in
|ie UTA/Pepsi-Cola Classic. The women
Fill be competing in pool D which contains
fulsa, Texas-Arlington, and Arkansas.
Action begins Friday against the the Tul-
j Golden Hurricane (0-0). Handling the du
es on the mound for the Aggies will be Amy
lining (1-0), who is coming off a strong
pening day shut out which saw her strike
’ut light while surrendering only five hits.
The second game will be versus the
sxas-Arlington Mavericks.
Coach Jo Evans said Jordana Barack is
ated to get the start. Barack will be looking
»try and repeat her performance Tuesday in
re second game of the double header.
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.
The tournament marks the Aggies first
meeting with Arkansas on the softball field.
Also representing the Big 12 in the tour
nament will be No. 11 Oklahoma, No. 15
Oklahoma State University, and unranked
Texas Tech.

Vomen’s tennis to host LSU
BY JEFF SCHMIDT
The Battalion
The Texas A&M Women’s
inis Team hosts Louisiana
te [University Saturday at
0 p.m. at the Varsity Tennis
nter.
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. ”
