Seventh-ranked Oklahoma State University won the title with a three-day total of 906, hold ing off the 12th-ranked University of Texas , who made a charge on the final day to finish at 908. Sophomore Mimi Epps led the Aggies in the individual standings with a tie for 10th place. “I wasn’t that pleased with my score — it could always be better,” Epps said. “The most important thing is that we can make it to region- als.” The finish put the Aggies in good position to earn a bid to the NCAA West Regional May 6-8 at Pine Forest Country Club in Houston. Though A&M, which is hosting the tournament, needs to finish in front of both the University of Oklahoma and the University of Missouri to remain under consideration for a bid. The fit nounced April 26. “We accomplished one of our g to p “We came into the [Big 12] tournament and performed well enough in the first two rounds to give ourselves some breathing room” The Aggies started thefinaln der Country Club in second, tn State University by one shot and:;;!

Citing ownership sentiment that “we have to act like all these kids are our kids,” Avalanche general man ager Pierre Lacroix said his team and the San Jose Sharks will not play the first two games of their best- of-7 series on Wednes day night and Thurs day night as scheduled. Instead, the series will open on Saturday in San Jose, which origi nally was to be Game 3. Game 2 will be in San Jose on Monday, with the series shifting to Denver for games on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Game 6, if nec essary, would be the following Mon day in San Jose, and Game 7 would be back in Denver — on a date yet to be determined. “It’s our way to show respect to the community for this tragic situa tion,” Lacroix said. “I want to ex press on behalf of the Avalanche our support to the families and express how sorry we feel for all of them. Our prayers are with them.” Lacroix said he began dis cussing scheduling with owner Charlie Lyons and NHL officials on Tuesday night, just hours after the extent of the shooting, which left 15 dead and two dozen in jured, became known. “I had a conversation with Char lie Lyons and his reaction was that we are close to this community and we have to act like all these kids are our kids,” Lacroix said. “With the support of the San Jose Sharks orga nization, we agreed to start the se ries in San Jose.” Although the Avalanche still would host four games of the seven- game series, the sometimes pivotal first two games will be staged in San Jose instead of Denver. Asked if that amounts to a disad vantage for his team, Lacroix said, “We thought about the hockey as pect, but there is nothing more im portant than showing respect for our community. We don’t look at this in any way, shape or form as an ad vantage or a disadvantage.” Sharks general manager Dean Lombardi agreed with the decision. “I don’t think there’s any way we could have played (Wednes day night),” he said. “From what I understand, the bodies are still in [the school]. We talked about starting Thursday night, and we threw that out. I don’t see how you could play here on Saturday either. ” K >mers as th e Chicago Asm Wynn from 196 Bagwell, whi one homer this off Scott Sander the first.
