A&M's main focus this year, however, is to garner a bet
ter team showing and return to the finals, a feat it has not
accomplished since 1997, the inaugural Big 12 season.
A&M lost that match to archrival Texas in the champi
onship round, giving the Longhorns their first of three Big
12 championships/
While the Longhorns are the favorites after going unde
feated to claim their fourth consecutive Big 12 regular season
championship this year, they are not without contenders.
Baylor University (9-2 Big 12) and A&M (9-2 Big 12) have
the best chance to give the ‘Homs.a run for their money. The
Besides the Longhorns, the Bears are the only blemish on the
Aggies’ record this year, and Marcial said the Aggies are hun
gry for either team in a rematch.
“I think everyone is looking forward to [a rematch],”
Marcial said. “Especially the people who are leaving. We
want to win, we want it bad, and I want them to leave with
gold on their fingers. We just have to stay positive and keep
working.”
Marcial and her teammates might get their chance sooner
than they think — they could be facing the Bears in the semis
and the ‘Homs in the finals.
Women's tennis coach Bobby Kleinecke said that nothing
is w ill come easily for the Aggies in the tournament.
“Right now, I’d say we’re getting ready to start the second
season.” Kleinecke said. “We’ve played some close matches
w ith a lot ofteams that are right there at the middle of the pack
with us, so by no means do we ha\ e a shoo-in to get to w here
our seed is.”
It may not be a “shoo-in,” but Kleinecke went on to say
that his team does have the talent to do what it sets its mind to.
“1 think this team has a lot of potential that we haven’t dis
played yet as a group,” Kleinecke said. “Individually they
have, but they haven't put it all together yet. and I think if they
do that anything can happen.”

“Everything 1 do — on the practice court and
in matches —- is for the team.” Madden said. “It’s
not a good day when I w in and we lose — period.”
Such an attitude is almost unheard of in tennis
— especially when it belongs to a player who fig
ures to have a success-
fill professional career
ahead of him.
“His main focus is
the team and what the
team can possibly ac
complish," said A&M
men’s tennis coach Tim
Cass. "I le’s an incredi
ble young man in that
regard, because he's
had a lot of notoriety
come his direction."
Since joining the
Aggies in January
"Everything 1 ilo

the team. It's not
