Romain Sato kept Xavier (26-6) afloat early, scoring 16 of the Musketeers’ first 18 points. West, a second-team All- American, scored only one bas ket the first 17 minutes, but once he found his shot, he scored 10 straight to tie the game at 40. The Musketeers, who had won seven in a row and were 21- 2 since starting 5-3, knotted it up three more times but never led. “We missed a couple of free With strong showings in the first meet of the season, Hummel said the young Aggie team has great potential. “This is one of the most well- rounded teams ever, and we have depth all around,” he said.

West had 18 points and eight rebounds. “We challenged Dave at half time and he answered the call,” Matta said. Ebi Ere had 20 points, including baskets immediately answering the Xavier’s first two ties, and seven rebounds. Tennis Continued from page 7 B Sophomore Roberta Spencer and senior Martina Nedorostova were unable to finish their matches because of time constraints. After moving the match inside, the teams played on three courts instead of six which forced the match to last well over four hours. The Hurricanes were forced to concede the final two matches because of travel arrangements.
