No. 22 Red Raiders invade Olsen Field No. 17 Ags open Big 12 play with 3-game series against Texas Tech GUY ROGERS • THE BATTALION A&M sophomore pitcher Ryan Warpinski throws a pitch in the Aggies’ 2-0 loss to Pepperdine on Monday at Olsen Field. Warpinski and the Aggies open Big 12 play this weekend against Texas Tech. By Doug Fuentes THE BATTALION With the impending cold and inclement weather, the No. 22 Texas Tech Red Raiders and the No. 17 Texas A&M baseball team will have to play its series in one less day. In the Big 12 Conference opener for both teams at Olsen Field, the series will be shortened by one day in an attempt to fit the games in. Instead of one game every day of the weekend, the Aggies (10-4) and Red Raiders (13-4) will play a dou bleheader starting at 1 p.m. on Friday, with the final game of the series on Saturday at 2 p.m. “Doubleheaders are harder to play but I don’t think they’re as hard to play if you have good players as they are if you have 30 degree chill fac tors,” said A&M head coach Mark Johnson. “I think we’re doing the right thing. It makes it uncomfortable for the fans to have to adjust but I think there’s nothing we can do about it. We’re trying to beat the weather.” The Aggies hope the cold weath er will not carry over onto their bats as they look to shake off some of the dust that accumulated during the Continental Express Baseball Classic last weekend. Needing only one win in two games to take the tournament cham pionship, the Aggies laid an egg on Monday, losing both games. They managed 15 hits in the two games, but could only push across one run. A&M will look to shrug off that See Invade on page 7 No. 18 Aggies host Arizona By Dallas Shipp THE BATTALION Cold winds and freezing rain may be the only thing that can cool down the No. 18 Texas A&M women's tennis team this weekend. The Aggies (8-1, 2-0) are coming off a strong weekend against Missouri and Iowa State to open up Big 12 Conference play and would like to continue their dominance today against the Arizona Wildcats. “Arizona is going to be a tough one,” said A&M head coach Bobby Kleinecke. “It is very similar to playing a school like TCU or LSU, which we won 4-3 in both matches.” The Wildcats, who would like to begin a hot streak of their own, are looking for their first win of the season over a top-25 opponent this weekend against the Aggies. After getting beat by No. 11 UCLA and No. 15 USC, the Wildcats have their eyes set on knocking off the No. 18 Aggies. “We are looking forward to playing at A&M this coming Friday,” said Arizona head coach Vicky Maes. “A&M is a strong team, and we expect a hard battle. Our girls love com peting, and we are ready for the challenge.” The Aggies are hoping to have their full compliment of players as Kleinecke will have to decide Friday whether sopho more Jessica Roland will play. Roland, No. 88, suffered a sprained ankle during match point on Sunday against Iowa State and has received treatment for the injury this week. “She is questionable,” Kleinecke said. “She is a tough one though and she thinks that she can do it, but we will wait and see on Friday morning.” “[The ankle] is feeling See Arizona on page 7 STUART VILLANUEVA • THE BATTALION A&M junior Ashley Hedberg goes for a backhand in the Aggies’ match against the Iowa State Cyclones on Sunday at the Varsity Tennis Center. fickets On Sale Mon.
