SPORTS THE BATTALION 3B Thursday, January 16, 2003 Ags hosting weekend action By Jeff Allen THE BATTALION This weekend will be one of the last chances to see the men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams in their natural habitat at the Student Recreation Center Natatorium. The men (2-2) will be enter ing the weekend’s meet against long-time rival Louisiana State University, putting their No. 20 national ranking — as well as a streak of consecutive weekly top 25 finishes dating back to 1995 — on the line against the Tigers. The Aggies have had recent success against the Tigers, having beaten them in each of the past five contests, including a lopsided 141-89 finish this past year in Baton Rouge. “It’s always been a neck and neck battle (between us),” said men’s head coach Mel Nash. “(LSU) is always a very good, solid team. We jumped out on them a little bit recently, but they always manage to get a couple kids, even at the semes ter, and you have to be ready for a little surprise.” The Aggie men expect more of a challenge than what LSU posed last season. “Last year when we went out there they didn't give us their best shot, and 1 would imagine that they would come here thinking that they need to gain a little respect back,” Nash said. The women’s team (5-2) will take on LSU and Rice University this Saturday. The challenges, though, do not end there for the - ' ►WSWlV You matter to God. FIRST BAPTIST ^ B R Y A M TEXAS A&M ^ FOOTBALL JOHN C. LIVAS • THE BATTALION A&M freshman Paty Villareal leads the Big 12 standings in the 1650 -meter freestyle. A&M will be hosting men’s and women’s action this weekend. No. 23 squad; it will also be fac ing national power No. 5 University of Texas on Sunday. “They (Texas) are the class of the conference and have been for a long time,” said women’s head coach Steve Bultman. “ We want to be at that level, and we need to swim against them and get up and race them and not be scared, because we will see them again at conference and at the NCAA Championships.” For the women, swimming against Texas has never been easy. They have, in fact, been fairly hard-pressed to beat UT during the past two decades, hav ing fewer wins than the nation has had presidents during that SPORTS IN BRIEF stretch. The Aggies last took down the Longhorns in 1999. The A&M women have had better luck against their other two opponents, having owned, for the most part, the series against Rice, carrying a 24-4 record into Saturday, and having beaten LSU two of the past three years. “LSU is a big rival. We won the last relay to win the meet by a couple points” Bultman said. “They are a good team and match up with us well, but it’s our pool and we want to take care of our own turf.” Both Aggie teams take to the pool at noon. The event is open to the general public and is free of charge.
