THE BATTALION
It was a tale of two halves as
the Texas A&M women’s bas
ketball team dropped a close
decision to the University of
Kansas Jayhawks 64-57.
The Jayhawks (8-9, 1-5 Big
12) used a 17-0 run to start the
second half and 19 points
from freshman forward
Crystal Kemp to win their first
Big 12 conference game in 21
tries. Kansas’ last victory was
also against A&M (8-9, 1-5
Big 12) in College Station on
Feb. 28, 2001.
“For everyone but (junior
Leila Menguc) this is our first
conference win," Kemp said.
“We wanted this for ourselves
and for our coach. It’s kind ot
indescribable right now.”
Kemp also provided 1 1
rebounds in the winning effort
to complete the third double
double of her young career.
Four of Kemp's 1 1 rebounds
were offensive. As a team,
Kansas pulled down 19 offen
sive boards.
“This team is very capable of
pounding the offensive boards,”
said Kansas Head Coach Marian
Washington. “Nineteen offen
sive boards, I'm very encour
aged. That area was awesome.”
Kemp scored 1 1 of her 19
points from the free-throw line
as she shot 11-12 from the char
ity stripe. Kansas shot 18-20
from the free-throw line in the
game while A&M only shot 5-7.
“I think another big stat in this
game is 5 for 7 and 18 for 20,”
said A&M Head Coach Peggie
Gillom. “We fouled and put them
at the line and we didn’t get to
the basket.”
The Aggies opened the
game by making their first two
shot attempts to give the
Aggies their first lead at Reed
Arena in the new year. They
had not led in a home game
since their 67-46 victory
against Texas Southern
University on Dec. 29, 2002.
After battling closely with
the Jayhawks, the Aggies used a
51.5 percent first half shooting
performance to lead 38-28 at
halftime. The Aggies led by as
much as II in the half.
Freshman guard Natasha
Summerville fueled the Aggies
as she scored all eight of her
points in the first half.
After coming out of the
locker room, the Aggies went
cold, making no baskets in the
opening 7:53 of the second
half. The Jayhawks used that
time to go on a 17-0 run to take
the lead 45-38.
”We came out in the second
half as well as we ever have so
far this season.” Washington
said. “A lot of good energy and
great focus paid off for us.”

Kansas freshman forward Crystal Kemp defends A&M’s Lynn Classen.
Aggie junior Lynn Classen
ended the run when she scored
at the 12:03 mark. Classen
scored six of A&M's 19 second-
half points to lead the Aggie
effort with 13 points.
Twenty minutes after the
final buzzer sounded and the
game was over, the Jayhawks
were still celebrating their vic
tory in the halls underneath the
Reed Arena stands.
“We have some people cry
ing,” Kemp said. “We have some
people so excited that they’re
still not calmed down yet.”

To say it" was a perfect day for tennis
would be a stretch. Old Man Winter’s grip
on the Texas A&M Varsity Tennis Center
was firm Saturday, with winds pushing the
temperature into the low 40s and unrelent
ingly overcast skies. The bleak surround
ings, however, did not hamper the begin
ning of another men’s tennis season.
In front of an announced crowd of more
than 500 faithful, the No. 13 Aggies man
aged to fend off the cold and occasional
drizzle, putting away their first three wins of
the season in a tripleheader against A&M-
Corpus Christi, Texas Pan-American, and
Trinity University.
“We’ve got to develop a certain tough
ness,” said A&M Head Coach Tim Cass.
“Obviously the weather and conditions were
extremely difficult. I thought we did a pret
ty good job to fight through that.”
Out of the gates, things looked about as
gloomy as the weather. The Aggie men were
sluggish against Corpus Christi in the doubles
matches, falling behind early. Fortunately,
Jiiat trend did not continue. The A&M men
came back to squeak out all three doubles
matches, earning a point to give them the
early lead.
“We had a slow start in doubles,” Cass
said. “That was sort of our speed bump for
the day, but once we got over it, we played a
pretty solid day of tennis.”
The wins, however, did not silence the ris
ing concerns about the Aggies’ doubles play,
an aspect of the Aggie squad which remains
suspect heading into the meat of its schedule.
During the fall portion of the schedule,
the Aggies were led by the sophomore duo

ITS OKAY TO BE A
of Lester Cook and Ante Matijevic, who
climbed to a career high national ranking of
No. 5. Despite the ranking, the pair is facing
separation, as they did against the Islanders
on Saturday, in order to strengthen the team.
“Our guys are willing to do whatever it
takes to improve the doubles play,” Cass
said. “We’re probably going to have to man
ufacture some doubles points, we're not
going to have the luxury we’ve had in the
past, where we have had three very solid
(doubles) teams.”
After the rough doubles matches, the
Aggies cruised for the remainder of the after
noon. The men swept Corpus Christi in sin
gles play, losing only one set in all six indi
vidual matches. They put the Islanders away
with a final score of 7-0. The story did not dif
fer too much after that in the contests against
Texas Pan-American and Trinity University.
After skipping the doubles matches due
to the weather, the Aggies made quick work
of the men from Texas Pan-American, shut
ting out the Broncos 6-0, again dropping
only a single set.
The Aggies also had the opportunity to
work in some fresh young faces that they will
be looking to contribute as the season
matures. Freshmen Cameron Fenner, Matt
Loukes and John Nallon accounted for half of
the Aggies’ points against the Broncs, each
winning their individual matches. Nallon and
Loukes also added wins in their singles math-
es against Trinity and Corpus Christi.
“It’s different playing a team match (for
the freshmen),” Cass said. “This gives them
a better feel of what to expect the rest of
the season.”
The Aggies finished the afternoon in
stride against Trinity University, following
the modus operands they had set throughout
the day by sweeping the Tigers in six
matches, while dropping a lone set.
Next, the Aggie men face the No. 12
University of Texas Longhorns. The two
rivals are set to square off in a dual match
next Saturday at the Texas Cup in Austin.
