However, it must still run the gauntlet of non conference teams first. One of the teams that will test the No. 24 Aggies is Southwest Texas State University. The Aggies will head to San Marcos Wednesday to face a Bobcat team (8-8) that is com ing off a tournament win of its own, going 5-0 in the New Mexico State Tournament this past weekend. Although their record is only .500, the Bobcats are surging at the right time, and they are not a team that the Aggies will take lightly. “They are a great team and have played a really strong sched- Basketball ule,” said A&M Head Coach Jo Evans. “We will have to play well to beat them, and we will have to be more consistent at the plate. Southwest Texas has always played us well.” The Aggies should go into Wednesday with plenty of confi dence, as they won the St. Joseph’s Aggie Invitational last weekend, going 3-1 overall in the tournament. The Aggies are led by senior catcher and U.S.A. Collegiate Softball Player of the Year can didate Selena Collins, who is currently batting .296 with three home runs and 10 RBIs. Collins said that taking two games from the Bobcats will be no easy task. “We know they’re good,” Collins said. “They have a lot of big hitters, and they will use rise- ball pitchers against us, which is something we have struggled with in the past. We just need to be disciplined at the plate as opposed to trying to hit pitches they want us to swing at.” a We will have to play well to heat them. Southwest Texas has always played us well — jo Evans A&M Head Softball Coach Meanwhile, Southwest Texas will look to further its recent suc cess. Defensively, the Bobcats have been nothing short of over powering, allowing only nine runs in their last five games. Junior pitcher Nicole Neuerberg (4-4) led the Bobcat defense by tallying up three wins and 31 strikeouts en route to a minute .062 ERA for the weekend. In addition, the Bobcats got some offensive help from one of their surprising youngsters. Freshman first baseman Hannah Snow rounded out her weekend with a solid .538 batting average, going 7 for 13, including three doubles and a home run. She now leads the Bobcat team with eight doubles on the season. As Southwest Texas’s sched ule will attest, the Bobcats wel come the challenge of playing highly ranked teams, and facing A&M will be no different. “It will be good to get A&M at home,” said Southwest Texas Head Coach Ricci Woodard. “Getting a team with A&M’s cal iber is always good for us.” ► EA Pi Sigma Alpha TAMU Pi Sigma Alpha Day Wed., Feb. 19, 2003 Allen Building, Political Science Department 12-5 p.m.: Open House, Atrium 5-6:30 p.m.: Welcoming Ceremony, Room 2115, Dr. Charles A.

"This is a game we have to win,” he said. “We’re still in the race and we have to play hard to get where we want to get.” Things don’t look good for the Cyclones, who have lost 14 straight games on the road, including their 70-51 loss to No. 9 Kansas on Sunday. Iowa State Head Coach Larry Eustachy said he knows Wednesday night’s game at Reed Arena will be another tough game on the road for his Cyclone team. “We need a win desperately but so do they with what they’re trying to do,” he said. “We’re catching a team that’s coming off of a loss that’s going to be very very difficult to beat. Texas A&M is a tournament-possible team. I think they’re that good.” Junior guard Jake Sullivan leads Iowa State with 18.3 points pier game and shoots 45.8 percent from behind the three-point line. “(Sullivan) is the one we have to shut down,” King said. “If we shut him down and make the other players beat us we have a good chance (to get the win).” Watkins said he hopes students understand the importance of this game even though it is not against a ranked opponent that can be seen on the highlight reels. “We’re in the hunt for some big things this year,” he said. “Every game becomes bigger, more critical for us and Iowa State is a big game for us. We need our student and fan sup port out here to help us as they have, especial ly in the Texas Tech game.” ■ The* Aggies have three more games at home. Don’t miss a chance to see what could be the best Aggie basketball team in recent memory. The game against Iowa State is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. on Wednesday.
