After being thrashed last year by
the Sooners in Norman, these se
niors can pay them back in full in
front of the entire nation on ABC.
A record crowd is expected and
many are predicting that it will surpass
the Texas attendance last year ESPN is
making its much-publicized first ap
pearance at Kyle Field. All in all,
these seniors could not ask for more.
The rest of the team and coach
ing staff are ready, too. Defensive
coordinator Mike Hankwitz, re
sponsible for stopping the prolific
Oklahoma attack, said that games
like this got him into the coaching
profession in the first place.
Women’s tennis concludes fall season at ITA Regioni
By Jeremy Brown
The Battalion
The Texas A&M women’s tennis team was
scheduled to host the region's best this week
end at the ITA Southwest Regional. Inclement
weather forced A&M to move the tournament
to an indoor facility in Houston instead.
Because of the heavy rain, some participants
canceled and the tournament was pushed back
one day.
Despite losing the home-court advantage,
A&M advanced six doubles teams and five
singles players to the rounds of 16.
“It was a good showing for everyone, con
sidering all the elements we had to deal with, like
the rain, the travel and losing the home-court ad
vantage,” said A&M tennis player Eva Marcial.
“It showed a lot of mettle.”
Leah Killen, the highest finishing Aggie,
made the quarterfinals in singles and the semi
finals in doubles with Marcial.
Coach Bobby Kleinecke said Killen had the
best tournament she has had at A&M.
In singles, Killen upset the No. 8 seed
Megan Russell of SMU in the round of 32, and,
in the round of 16, she beat No. 17 seed Lisa .
Jackson of UT-Arlington.
Killen lost to No. 1 seed Jahnari Parekh of
Baylor in the quarterfinals. Parekh had already
beaten Marcial in the round of f6.
In doubles, Killen and Marcial upset one
team tied for the No. 5 seed. Chin Bee Khoo
and Ann Rosland of Arkansas, before losing to
another No. 5 seed, Rebecca Forney and
Kaysie Smashey of Texas, in the semifinals.
“They played very inspired,” Kleinecke
said. “They played a lot more aggressive than
last year.”
After Forney and Smashey’s win, the dou
bles final on Tuesday was between two Texas
teams. Due to this turn of events, Kleinecke
said, the final was moved to Austin so the Texas
players did not have to miss another day of
classes.
No. 7 seed Katia Kovac of Baylor beat the
No. 2 seed Khoo to win the singles draw in the
final Tuesday.
Kleinecke said the rest of team hadaii
tournament as well. However, he saidlfi
disappointed that A&M's No. 2 andNoJ
ed doubles teams did not advance furtk
No. 2 Ashley Hedberg and JessicaR..
made it to the quarterfinals, where theylj
the same team that beat Killen and Maid
the semifinals. No. 5 Forney and Smashl
Texas.
No. 3 Martina Nedorostova and Ma
Terburgh made it to the round of 16, where
were upset by No. 13 seed Sarah Borwe!|
Annie Rapp of Houston.
The Southwest Regional was the lastcc
tition that the A&M Women will particip|
until the spring.
