Women’s tennis starts off season
with victories against SFA, SHSU
BY BLAINE DIONNE
The Battalion
The Texas A&M women’s tennis team took both of
their matches on Saturday against the Stephen F. Austin
Ladyjacks and the Sam Houston State Bearcats, 7-2 and
8-1, respectively.
The victories enabled the 34th-ranked Aggies to
open their spring season with a 2-0 record against what
was a stiller than anticipated competition.
Going into the matches, the Aggies were confident
they would not have too much trouble defeating both
their opponents.
While this proved to be true with SI 1SU, SFA turned
out to be a more than worthy opponent.
A&M women’s coach Bobby Kleinecke was im
pressed with the way the Ladyjacks played.
“They were a pretty solid team,” Kleinecke said. “It
was a good type of match for us to play first. We worked
through some nerves and held our composure well.”
It seemed that senior Kathryn Scott was the only play
er who did not have a bout of nerves in that first match,
defeating her opponent Katie Christensen, 6-0,6-0.
Perhaps the brightest spot of the morning was that
the Aggies were able to perform well in their first match
w ithout the services of their top two players, senior Lisa
Dingwall and sophomore Martina Nedorostova.
Dingwall and Nedorostova were slotted to be in Dal
las at the Rolex National Intercollegiate Indoor Cham
pionships. but in their first day at the tournament they
were knocked off by the number one doubles team in
the country, Zuzana Lesenarova and Katarina Valkyo-
va of San Diego State University.
In the second match of the day, the Aggies played
closer to form, only dropping one game to the Bearkats.
Junior Lva Marcial was pushed to three sets by Sam
1 louston’s Robyn Based but was able to pull out the vic-
tory despite cramping in her leg and admittedly being
off her game that day.
“I feel like Tin Cup, you know how he was shoot
ing shanks? That’s how I feel right now,” Marcial said.
“I was off. though. 1 think everybody knows, that saw
the match, that this was not a good day for me.”
As for the rest of the Aggies, though, they were most
definitely on their games. Particularly freshman Cassie
1 lass, who after having a little trouble in her morning match
against Amanda Tabisz of SFA, came back in the afternoon
to shut down Stun 1 louston’s Ivette Andrade 6-1,6-0.
