Ags finish 4th at Big 12 fi

One day after shooting their best round of the
season, the Texas A&M Women’s Golf Team post
ed a 313 to take fourth place at the Big 12 Cham
pionships in Boulder, Colo.
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”

DENVER (AP) — In a city
mourning the shooting deaths of
students at a suburban high school,
the Colorado Avalanche on Wednes
day postponed their opening two
NHL playoff games, and the Col
orado Rockies called off a second
straight baseball game.
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. ”
