BEATO III • THE BATTALION Aggie sophomore guard Mindy Garrison looks to score in Wednesday's game. By Gary Livingston THE BATTALION Five Aggies scored in the double digits as the Texas A&M women’s basketball team began the season with a 86-66 win on Wednesday night over RTU Klondaika. Junior Janae Derrick led the Aggies with 17 points, and senior Kim Moore led A&M with 14 rebounds and added 1 1 points. Head coach Peggy Gil lorn said it was her plan to let everyone play since it was an exhibition game. “We wanted to play everybody so we could get some things going,” said Gil lorn. “It was good to start with a win and I’m proud of the girls.” RTU Klondaika hails from Riga, Latvia and are professionals who range in ages 17 to 38. It is currently on a Texas college swing playing seven col leges in 10 days. A&M pulled out the victory despite a poor shooting night and 17 turnovers. For the game the Aggies shot only 39.3 per cent from the field, and were 22.2 percent from the three-point line. The Aggies shot only 61.5 percent from the free-throw line. However, Klondaika had problems of its own as three of its players played more than 30 minutes of a 40-minute game and this was the team’s fifth game during the past week. The team’s shoot ing percentage was also low, at only 37.3 percent on tne^ame. “They plhyeefa lot of give and go and it looked like we just weren’t ready,” Gillom said. “It looked like we had jelly fingers, I hope it’s just opening night jitters, or else we are going to be in trouble.” The game started out with the Aggies in control as they built a 10-3 lead, but Klondaika battled back to get within six points of the Aggies. The Aggies increased their lead to 20-10 halfway through the first half. After a basket by Klondaika, the Lady Aggies went on an 11 -point scoring run to increase their lead to 19 and the Aggies entered the locker room at halftime with a 10-point lead. At the beginning of the second half, it looked as if the Aggies were going to run away with the game as they built a 12- point lead. But Klondaika gave its best run of the night and came within three points of the Aggies with 12 minutes to play. Coach Gillom called a timeout, changed around the defense and subbed her starting players back in. From that point on, the Aggies were in control as they went on an 18-point run to build a 68-50 lead. A&M contin ued to turn it on late after Klondaika’s top player fouled out. Zana Teilane led Klondaika with 25 points, 11 rebounds and eight blocks. Teilane is a 6’6” center for the team and dominated the Aggies’ defense in the paint. Other solid players for A&M included guard Toccara Williams who had 14 points, post player Lynn Classen who scored 10, and guard Mindy Garrison who finished with 13 points. The Aggies will have a week off before playing their next exhibition game on Nov. 20 against the NWBL Elite team..

Wauford was led off the field in hand cuffs and charged with battery, a misde meanor, for allegedly shoving a fan who ran on the field after the game. Johnson acknowledged damaging the visiting 'rii/h,- ! . coaches’ box, Hoeppner said. “I don’t want to prejudge our investi gation of the facts. But I have to tell you, as president, to see one of my coaches led away in handcuffs was one of the most difficult things I’ve seen since I’ve been here,” school President James Garland said in a phone interview. “We justify our support of athletics because of the message that it sends about character,” Garland said. “These events of yesterday suggest that we’ve fallen short of our goal.” Interim athletic director Steve Snyder said Miami will pay to repair the coach es’ box. Wauford was released on $5,000 bond early Wednesday and has a court hearing Dec.. 13. The fan, Robert Flaugher, 36, was treated mpspital u ... the coach basically hit him with a forearm. That knocked him flat. His head definitely hit first on the turf. It was basically a sucker punch. — Todd Flaugher brother of assaulted fan and released. Flaugher was atpong thousands of fans who- stormed 4 he field moments after Marshall scored the winning touch down in the closing seconds. West Virginia State Police said Wauford shoved Flaugher, who fell and struck his head on the artificial turf. He was taken away on a stretcher with what was diagnosed as a concussion. Flaugher’s brother, Todd, said that neither he nor his brother used abu sive language toward Miami players or coaches. “He was waving goodbye to Miami’s players ... the coach basically hit him with a forearm. That knocked him flat. His head definitely hit first on the turf. It was basically a sucker punch,” Todd Flaugher said. Hoeppner predicted that Wauford, a < Miami> assis^fil-for three years, will be exonerated because of the circumstances on the field. “It was emotional in all contexts,” Hoeppner said. Marshall coach Bob Pruett said he didn’t see the confrontation and declined to comment on it. Asked about the damage in the coach es’ box, Pruett said: “People get excited after games. It’s a very emotional game. You put your life and soul into a ball- game, and sometimes you react in ways that would be distressful.” Miami is proud of its history of pro ducing coaching luminaries such as Paul Brown, Weeb Ewbank, Sid Gillman, Ara Parseghian and Woody Hayes, who was fired by Ohio State for hitting a Clemson player who^piade.an interception .during .aP^gatne, j Ql' Please move your vehicle out of any designated 12th man lot by 6:30 p.m., the evening BEFORE the football game.
