“I’ve been in that situation a few
bes before and I was able to come
through,” El Dorry said. “Today I let
my team down, and I won’t let that
happen again. I have to bounce back
and persevere.”
El Dorry’s valiant effort came
on the heels of a come-from-
behind victory by freshman Lester
Cook, who tied the team score at
3-3 with his three-set victory over
Texas sophomore Jose Zarhi on
court No. 3.
Cook took the 3-1 lead in the
first set before Zarhi fired back and
won five of the next six games to
claim the first set. It was one of four
first sets the Longhorns claimed in
singles competition after claiming
the doubles point.
Cook won the second set by
sweeping the tiebreaker and riding
that momentum to a 4-0 lead in the
third set. Zarhi managed a break and

THE BATTALION
The Texas A&M baseball team sur
vived a late scare from Kansas State and
held off the Wildcats, 6-5, to win the
series in front of 4,604 fans at Olsen Field
on Sunday.
The No. 16 Aggies (28-13, 9-6 Big 12)
bounced back from a one-run loss to the
Wildcats on Saturday thanks in part to
better use of their bats.
A&M totaled 10 hits, including home
runs from Rusty Meyer and Neal
Stephenson.
“We got a little bit more hitting today
and that’s encouraging,” said A&M head
coach Mark Johnson. “We didn’t sit on
the lead, we increased it, so I can’t be too
disappointed about that. I think right now
in our conference, anytime you can win a
series you better be happy.”
Trailing 6-2 heading into the top of the
ninth, the Wildcats (19-16, 6-6) made a
last-gasp rally that almost forced extra
innings.
Gabe Luttrell started the inning by
reaching base on an error by A&M

THE BATTALION
The Texas A&M women’s ten
nis team continued its hot streak
heading into the final and most
crucial week of the season by
defeating the Kansas State
Wildcats, 5-2, Saturday.
The No. 27 Aggies held off a
strong upset bid from the Wildcats,
who were looking for their first-
ever win over A&M.
The win ties the A&M school
record for most wins in a season
and improves A&M’s record to
20-3, 8-1 in Big 12 play.
“Kansas State is a very solid
team,” said A&M head coach
Bobby Kleinecke. “Their top play
ers are very, very strong, and I
knew they were going to give us
everything we could handle today.”
The match started off on a pos
itive note for the Aggies, who won
two out of three matches to win
the doubles point. The Aggies are
20-0 this season after winning the
doubles point.
Soon after singles play began,
senior Martina Nedorostova was
forced to end her match early after
she reinjured a pulled muscle in
her back.
Junior Ashley Hedberg quickly
regained the lead for the Aggies,
barely breaking a sweat while
knocking off Andrea Cooper, 6-1,
6-2.
Sophomore Jessica Roland’s
struggles continued in singles
play. After dropping a hard-fought
first set to Alena Jecminkova, 4-6,
Roland fell 1 -6 in the second set to
lose her fourth straight match. The
loss on court No. 1 gave the
Wildcats a strong surge with only
four matches to play.
“[Roland] has been playing
well,” Kleinecke said. “She just
hasn’t come up with the win and
her confidence is really shaky right
now. When you play at No. 1 it
doesn’t matter if you are playing a
good team or a low team, they are
going to have a good No. 1 player.”
A&M regained its lead thanks
to sophomore Roberta Spencer’s
win over Paulina Castillejos, 6-0,
6-4, at No. 6.
However, that was the last
match decided quickly and easily.
After gaining a 3-2 lead, the
Aggies dropped the first sets on
courts No. 2 and No. 4.
Senior Majorie Terburgh, play
ing at No. 4, dropped her first set,
5-7, against Kansas State’s Maria
Rosenburg. After winning the sec
ond set, Terburgh stormed through
