The Battalion
Despite being pounded by the
'No. I University of Texas 238-131,
the Texas A&M men’s swimming
land diving team proved worthy of its
No. 4 ranking by cruising past No. 6
‘University of Arizona 228-143 in a
double-dual meet this weekend in
Austin.
' “Even though we were ranked
higher, it will still be considered an
upset by the swimming communi
ty,” said men’s swimming coach
!Mel Nash.
H A&M’s weekend started on a high
note when Patrick Kennedy in the
200-yard backstroke and Devin
-Howard in the 200-yard butterfly
iwam NCAA qualifying times and
personal bests in time trials before
the meet.
Howard swam an NCAA auto
matic qualifying time, while
Kennedy made the consideration cut.
Nash also said that when the Ag
gies defeated Arizona two years ago,
it was considered a fluke.
In the 50-yard freestyle, A&M
scored a huge upset when David
Morrow and Riley Janes took first
and second, respectively, to beat
Roland Shoeman of Arizona.
Nash said that he was surprised by
Morrow and Janes because Shoeman
is expected to compete for the
NCAA title in the event.
Kennedy and Howard carried
their success into the meet by win
ning the same events against Texas
and Arizona.
Nash said the swimmers in the
breaststroke did a good job against
Arizona, especially Zach Widener
who won the 100-yard breast
stroke.
Nash said that both meets were
decided about halfway through the
competition.
Texas pulled away after the 500-
yard freestyle and the 200-yard IM
by taking first, second and third
against A&M in both events.
Nash said it is frustrating that
when A&M has its best team in 22
years, the traditionally-strong Long
horns might have their best team
ever. He said Texas is an unbeliev
able force this year.
“I was really pleased that as the
meet went on we kept fighting and
racing really hard,” Nash said, “That
is a sign of a tough team, which we
will need to be for the NCAAs.”
Nash said a lot of the A&M swim
mers are still recovering from the
heavy training that he has put them
through and that times will be much
faster at the NCAAs.
Kevin Kehlenbach was able to
compete in the meet. It was the first
competition he has seen since injur
ing his ankle in an accident with a
plate glass window.
“His recovery and rehab is noth
ing short of phenomenal so far,”
Nash said.
Womens’ basketball falls to OSU
' STILLWATER, OK—The Texas A&M women’s bas
ketball team was plagued by poor shooting in the first of
half of play as the Oklahoma State Cowgirls defeated the
Aggies, 85-69 Saturday afternoon.
The Texas A&M squad was last in
action when they defeated the No. 25
Baylor Bears at Reed Arena on Jan. 20.
y OSU’s effort was aided by solid
shooting throughout the game. The
Cowgirls shot a stellar 51.6 percent from
the field, while the Aggies mustered a
^^-3'8.6 percent shooting average, that in-
)Wn ™ fkluded shooting only 29 percent in the

Lthe first, as they started the scoring off with a
the Cowgirls. The Aggies would maintain a comfortable
lead for much of the half, until the OSU went on a 13-point
scoring run that put the Cowgirls up four with just over
four minutes remaining in the half.
In the second half, Oklahoma State would increase their
lead to 11, but soon after the Aggies battled back to take
the lead 41-40 with 13 minutes left to play.
Texas A&M would not see another lead in the game, as
OSU continued to shoot the ball well from the floor, OSU
had increased its lead to 16 when the final buzzer sounded.
Despite A&M’s poor shooting, senior forward Jaynet-
ta Saunders continued her hot hand and added 31 points to
the Aggies’ effort.
The Aggies (12-6, 2-5) will be back at Reed Arena on
Wednesday when they take on the No. 12 Oklahoma Soon-
ers at 7 p.m.

“Hitting the ball I feel pretty con
fident,” Madden said. “Movement
indoors is a lot different than out
doors. Indoors you go forward every
point, outdoors you move back and
side-to-side. I feel like my body is
going through that right now.”
The Aggies debuted a class of
highly touted freshman in front of
the Aggie crowd this weekend. The
three Aggie newcomers took care
of business during the weekend.
Tres Davis, a four-time national
champion in junior’s doubles,
Khalid El Dorry, the top junior
player in Egypt, and Nathan Price,
the best player to come out of Ok
lahoma for the 2001 season made
easy work of their opponents as
each started their season off with a
3-0 records winning their matches
in straight sets.
“I was pleased with Ryan (New
port) stepping up today,” Cass said.
“Khaled (El Dorry) played with great
emotional intensity, Nathan (Price)
played well and Tres (Davis) got bet
ter every match. This is really the first
few weeks that this team has been to
gether, and it was a great way to get
the spring season started.”
High wind made the Aggies’ task
difficult after getting just one practice
in the Varsity Tennis Center since
playing indoors at the Rice Indoor In
vitational last weekend,
, “Right now our main goal is to get
used to winning,” Madden said.
Madden will compete for the In
door National Championship next
weekend, followed by the Texas Cup,
a dual meet with No. 20 Texas on
Feb. 6 in Houston.
The Aggies next home match is
against LSU on Feb. 10.

for the game, the fifth time the Aggies have been out re
bounded in Big 12 play.
“On the road, we want to take the ball to the bas
ket,” said Iowa State coach Larry Eustachy. “ We’ve
got strength inside and outside. You have to have real
balance.”
As he has done all season, sophomore guard Bernard
King led the way offensively for the Aggies.
King scored 21 points but was only 6-of-17 from the
floor, including 2-of-6 from beyond the arc.
“We have to be ready for teams like this,” King said.
“If you’re not up for a ranked team like Iowa State then
something’s wrong. If we lost and played well, I would
have felt better, but we didn’t play well.”
