The Aggies will fly to Wisconsin to compete in the 16th annual USTA-ITA Women’s National Team Indoor Championship, round ing out a field of 16 teams. In only the second week of the season, brackets and seeding are already hot topics. The Aggies are heading into this weekend’s tournament after a brief jekyll-and-hyde tour against two Big 12 teams that initiated February play. In its season opener last weekend. A&M was able to sidestep an early test from a young and inexperienced Iowa State team that fell to the Aggies, 6-1. The following day, the Aggies wielded their rackets against the Missouri Tigers and lost for the first time in their last nine meetings, 5-2. “To beat teams, you have to take advantage of opportunities when they are given,” said A&M Head Coach Bobby Kleinecke. “We are a young team, and that is one area where we must improve.” The Aggies stand even in the Big 12 standings at 1-1. Coach Kleinecke gave the team Monday off to catch up on rest and schoolwork before its only day of practice on Tuesday. Wednesday marks the Aggies’ exodus after a brief two-day stay in Texas. “This tournament will be a great opportunity for us, but the challenge will be extremely tough,” Kleinecke said. “It will be a big test for us, so we must improve and learn from our mistakes.” When compe tition starts Thursday, finding hard-hitting oppo sition shouldn’t be a problem. Seven of the top eight teams in the nation will be in Wisconsin look ing to make their mark in early sea son tournament play. The A&M coaching staff was betting on a first-round opponent nationally ranked in the top five. “If we have to play someone in the top five, (University of North Carolina) is who we want to face,” said Assistant Coach Alison Ojeda. “We’re looking forward to getting a See Tennis on page 10 This tournament will be a great opportunity for us, but the challenge will be extremely tough. — Bobby Kleinecke Women's tennis Head Coach Ags to host OU in effort to break five-game skid By Troy Miller THE BATTALION While the Texas A&M men’s basketball team climbs up the Big 12 standings, the women’s team seems to be going in the opposite direction. It won’t get easier for the Aggies (8-10, 1-6 Big 12) as they face No. 24 Oklahoma Wednesday night at 7 p.m. at Reed Arena. Oklahoma (13-7,4-3) is com ing off a two-game losing skid in its past week of play. The Sooners lost to Texas at home before being blown out at home by No. 5 Kansas State 74-45. “It is partly youth and partly the rigors of the Big 12,” said OU Head Coach Sherri Coale about her team’s lack of offen sive production. “Partly not hav ing a leader, not having senior leadership anywhere.” Oklahoma has shot just 28.2 percent from the field in its past two games. The Aggies hope to capitalize on the Sooner’s offensive woes to get out of their own five-game losing streak. In a 76-50 loss to Texas in Austin Sunday, the Aggies showed signs of life. After falling behind 10-0 to begin the game, the Aggies stayed close until halftime. Despite trailing for the entire game, the Aggies contin ued to fight back, cutting the lead to 10 on two separate occasions. "I thought we came out and fought,” said A&M Head Coach Peggie Gillom. “My hat’s off to my kids. They are fighters. I’m proud of them for fighting.” If the Aggies are going to turn their season around, they will have to rely heavily on junior guard Toccara Williams. Williams scored 14 points against Texas and leads the team, averaging 13.1 points per game. She is also tied with Lisa Branch for A&M’s all-time steals record with 309. Williams leads the nation with 5.0 steals per game. Despite the steals Williams contributes to the Aggies, A&M averages 20.6 turnovers per game. If the Aggies turn the ball over, the Sooners have a balanced team that could take advantage of the scoring opportunities. The Sooners have four play ers averaging double figures in scoring. Junior guard Maria Villarroel leads the way with 15.6 points per game. To pull the upset, the Aggies must stop Villarroel from attack ing the basket, and Gillom believes the Aggies are finally moving in the right direction. “We are doing everything we can on and off the court,” Gillom said. “Our goal is to win every possible game we can at home and on the road.” Better Scores.
