NEW YORK (AP) — Marty Me-
iorley was suspended yesterday for
he rest of the season for hitting Don-
ildBrashear in the head with his stick
the harshest punishment in NHL
istory for an on-ice attack.
McSorley’s suspension also would
ncludethe playoffs, but Boston, which
ias won only 18 games with 23 re
aming, will probably miss the post
season.
The longest previous suspension
s2l games given to Washington's
3ale Hunter for a blindside check of
the New York Islanders’ Pierre Tur-
ieon after a goal in a 1993 playoff
tame. There have been longer sus-
msions for drug use.
McSoriey, who did not attend a dis-
ciplinary hearing today at NHL head
quarters, still might have to answer to
Vancouver police.
“Mr. McSorley’s act is entirely un
acceptable,” NHL vice president Col-
inCampbell said. “It would be gross-
lyunfairto suggest that his conduct is
-'/■ pei
at all representative of the game, of the
other 700 players who play in the NHL
or of the countless others who play
hockey at all levels.”
The 36-year-old Boston defense-
man, who is in the last year of his con
tract, must meet with NHL commis
sioner Gary' Bettman before the start of
next season.
The Boston enforcer was sus
pended indefinitely Tuesday, one day
after he swung his stick with both
hands against the side of Brftshear’s
head in the Bruins’ 5-2 defeat to the
Canucks. Brashear was knocked out
and bloodied.
“1 apologize to Donald Brashear
and all the fans who had to watch
that,” McSoriey said Monday. 1 em
barrassed my hockey team. ... 1 got
way too carried away. It was a real
dumb play.
“I’m still in shock at what 1 did. 1
have to come to terms with what I did.
There’s no excuse. It was so stupid, 1
can’t believe I did it.”

BY REECE FLOOD
The Battalion
With 6:46 left in the game, the Texas
A&M women’s basketball team, behind
by four points, had momentum and
seemed poised to challenge Iowa State
University for the win.
But something happened to the Ag
gies, as they only managed to score six
more points throughout the rest of the
game. The Cyclones rattled off 25 points
to end the game with a 81 -58 victory.
A&M women’s basketball coach
Peggie Gil lorn said she was not exactly
sure what happened in the closing min
utes of the game.
“Everything went to the tank,” Gillom
said. “We couldn’t score and they just
started running on us and we were
outscored 23-4. When looking at the game
now, I don’t understand it. We fouled them
to put them on the line with like seven
minutes left to go in the game. When you
put them on the free throw line that early
in the game, you can’t do that.”
The Aggies kept the score close for
most of the game, and even held the lead
for a majority of the first half and part of
the second half.
The game started out with A&M jump
ing out to an 8-2 lead before 1SU started
hitting their baskets. The Cyclones caught
die Aggies with 9:02 left in the first half
and tied the score 20-20.
From this point on the score stayed
close, and the game seemed up for grabs
until ISU went on their scoring run.
ISU coach Bill Fennelly said
Wednesday’s game was not the first
time the Cyclones benefited from a
late-game scoring run.
“Our team is a team that lives and
dies, literally, with spurts in a game,”
Fennelly said. “You play 40 minutes, you
kind of go back and forth about 30 or 32
[minutes]. Inevitably, one run by some
body detennines the game.”
Fennelly pointed to his team’s abili
ty to stay calm when the game was close
as one reason for the victory.
A&M senior forward Kera Alexander goes up for a shot against the Iowa
at Reed Arena. The Cyclones defeated the Aggies 81-58.
“1 don't think we panicked too much,”
Fennelly said. “To be honest with you, I think
I panicked a little more then the kids did.”
The difference in the game was the
Cyclone scoring tandem of Desire Fran
cis and Angie Welle, who finished the
game with 26 and 24 points, respectively.
“We knew Angie was going to score
a little bit,” Gillom said. “But the fact is
we didn't expect her [Francis] to get 26
points. I guess she just had her way with
us tonight.”
A&M struggled from the perimeter,
only shooting one for 15 from beyond the
three-point line.
Also posing a problem lor the Aggies
were 12 second-half turnovers.
“We only had eight turnovers at half
time,” Gillom said. “We ended the game
with 20. That was just a lot of miscues.”
STUART VILLANUEVA/The Battalion
State University Cyclones last night
The Aggies were led on the score
board by junior forward Jaynetta Saunders
with 29 points. Senior forward Prissy
Sharpe ended the game with 14 points.
The loss brings A&M’s record toll-
13,3-11 in Big 12 play. The Cyclones ad
vance to 20-5, 11 -3 in the Big 12.
A&M’s next game is Saturday at 3
p.m. against the University of Texas in
Reed Arena.
