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

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
