Golfers take 4th at tourn
BY JASON LINCOLN
The Battalion
It took strong performances by the Aggies’ two
Swedes to keep them within striking range, but in the
end the Texas A&M Women’s Golf Team had a few too
many strokes, preventing them from winning their
host tournament, the GTE “Mo” Morial Invitational.
Anna Jonsson, the freshman from Lund, Sweden,
overtook fellow Aggie Anna Becker to win the individ
ual trophy, shooting a combined 224 to finish eight over
par. Junior Becker followed up for A&M with a 232.
“It was a struggle to deal with the wind,” Jonsson
said. “I was able to hit well during the second round
despite the conditions because 1 had confidence in my
game. 1 struggled with the weather to keep the score
down, so when the weather cleared the score could
only improve.”
Missouri fought back from a two-point deficit be
hind Baylor from the first 36 holes to shoot a 309 on
the final 18 Tuesday to take the win with a 940. Fol
lowing the Tigers was Oklahoma with 949 and Baylor
with 950, leaving the Aggies 13 strokes short.
The win makes Missouri only the second team to
beat A&M at the “Mo” Morial, joining Louisiana State
University, which won in 1997.
“We played well enough to beat A&M. I don’t re
member doing that before,” Missouri coach Tom Loyd
said. “That makes it special winning against a team
that strong on their home course.”
Conditions for the sixth annual “Mo” Morial were
less than ideal, as players had to battle a strong and
unpredictable wind that was made all the more severe
by the chill remaining from the weekend’s cold front.
But players were able to adjust and hit relatively strong
second rounds. On the final day, the weather cleared
up to provide perfect weather, making for a pleasant
conclusion to the tournament.
“The conditions were tough," A&M coach Jeanne
Sutherland said. “We had to have a lot of imagination
and skill in running the ball. But this will provide a
good guide for the spring. Now we can work on what
we need and get to the postseason.”
A&M’s first five, who comprise their tournament
team, is young but growing in experience. With three
freshmen, a sophomore and a junior, the Aggies will
look to make up for the home loss with wins later in
the season.

ROCKVILLE, M
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
NCAA is not subject to a federal sex-
bias law just because it collects dues
from federally financed colleges and
universities, the Supreme Court
ruled Tuesday.
But the justices’ unanimous deci
sion left open the possibility the gov
erning body for college sports may
for other reasons be covered by the
law known as Title
IX of the Education
Acts of 1972.
Renee Smith, an
Ohio woman who
says she was ille
gally declared inel

argued the NCAA

der the law be

receives from

recipient of federal funds.
But Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
wrote for the court, “At most, the
association’s receipt of dues
demonstrates that it indirectly ben
efits from the federal assistance af
forded its members.
“This showing, without more, is
insufficient to trigger Title IX cov
erage. ”
The law bars sex discrimination
in educational programs receiving
federal financial aid. Ginsburg not
ed that similar wording is used in
other laws banning discrimination
in federally funded programs based
on race, age or disability.
Most of the NCAA’s 1,200 schools
receive federal funds and therefore
are covered by Title IX. The NCAA’s
lawyers said during arguments the
association itself was not a federal
aid recipient and
that athletes
should take up dis
crimination com
plaints with the in
dividual schools.

lowing her suit to go forward.
Dempsey added: “We have con
sistently said that the NCAA should
be in compliance with Title IX on a
voluntary basis and have worked to
achieve compliance.”
It was a welcome legal victory
for the NCAA, which is still reeling
from a 1997 federal court ruling
that the association acted unlaw
fully in capping the salaries of en
try-level coaches.
