THE BATTALION
No. 15 Michigan visits A&M
By Pete Burks
THE BATTALION
For the University of
Michigan softball team, leaving
home for a couple of road games
in Texas was supposed to mean
heading to warmer climates.
However, when the No. 15
Wolverines step on the field at the
Aggie Softball Complex to take
on the No. 19 Aggies, it will
probably remind them more of
playing in Ann Arbor.
In a way, the game will be a
baitle of opposites with the
Aggies coming in with four
straight wins, taking their second
tournament in a row. Meanwhile,
Michigan comes in after a disap
pointing showing at the Leadoff
Classic in Columbus, Ga.
The Aggies (12-6) will be
looking to continue their success
and boost their confidence before
heading out to Palo Alto, Calif, to
meet some of the nation’s best in
the Stanford Classic.
Michigan, on the other hand,
will simply be looking just to get
hack on its feet. The Wolverines
(3-5) are highly ranked, but have
not fared well in the young sea
son. They are coming off of
lough losses against No. 5
Washington, 5-3, and No. 16
South Carolina, 3-0.
Although Michigan had a
slow start this year, it is ranked
No. 15 for a reason. Head Coach
Carol Hutchins is in her nine
teenth season with the
Wolverines, rind her longevity at
Michigan is representative of the
success that she has had.
Just last year, the Wolverines
won the Big 10 regular season
championship, tournament
championship, and the NCAA
regional championship to
advance to the Women’s College
World Series for the sixth year
in a row. In addition, Hutchins
has been named as Regional
Coach of the Year seven times
during her tenure.
The Aggies
COLLINS
may be playing
well, but A&M
I Head Coach Jo
lEvans isn't let-
ting her guard
Idown.
“Michigan
was ranked
No. 4 in the
pre-season poll, and they are
very well coached,” Evans said.
“They can hit the ball, and
they’re very athletic. We know
they will give us all we can han
dle.”
In addition, the Wolverine
players are not too shabby either.
They return a veteran team of five
juniors and five seniors, led by
senior first baseman/pitcher,
Marissa Young. Young will come
into the game with a diminutive
1.98 ERA and record of 2-0.
Also, she is on the watch list for
the National Collegiate Player of
the Year.
Meanwhile, A&M has its own
National Collegiate Player of the
Year candidate in senior catcher
Selena Collins. Collins comes in
batting .378 with six homers and
16 RBIs, and will lead an A&M
offense that has been absolutely
on fire. As a team, the Aggies are
batting .269, and although sput
tering at times, they are becoming
more consistent each game.
Collins said she looks forward to
playing a competitive team such
as Michigan.
“They always make it to the
(World Series), which is why it’s
so exciting to play them at home,”
Collins said. “They have great
hitters and a stellar defense, but
playing great competition helps
us capitalize on what we’ve been
working towards, and that is
heading to the World Series.”
This will be the first meet
ing between these two teams,
but nonetheless, the winner
will come out with some added
momentum as they draw nearer
to conference play. The game is
the Aggies’ last at home before
they head to California, and it
is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m.
this evening.

The Texas A&M women's golf team entered
the Central District Invitational Tournament on
Tuesday in seventh place before posting a team
score of 295 to tie for third place.
The Aggies and the tournament champion
Ohio State Buckeyes were the only two teams
to finish the day with a round below 300.
A&M sophomore Nicole Melton and junior
Mira Bendevis led the Aggies' late surge, each
posting a one-over round of 73 at the River
Wilderness Golf Club. Melton's three-round
score of 223 put her in a tie for third among
individual competitors. It marked the third-
straight time that the freshman has finished in
the top three of a tournament.
The Aggies tied Kansas State University with
a team score of 923. The Buckeyes (909) and
Baylor University (915) finished with better
rounds.
kids are focused, we have shown that we can
play well and hang with the top teams in our
conference.”
As the season’s end draws near, the Aggies will
have the leadership of junior guard Toccara
Williams to lean on. Williams leads the team in
scoring (12.7), steals (107), assists (131) and is sec
ond on the teiam in rebounding (5.1).
OSU, which is coming off an 83-48 loss to No. 8
Texas Tech over the weekend, is led by 6-foot-2 jun
ior center Trisha Skibbe. Skibbe leads her team in
points (17.0) and rebounding (7.4). The Cowgirls,
though, will be in search of their first conference
road win of the season as they come to College
Station, and are in danger of being swept by the
Aggies for the first time since the 1996-97 season.
“It should be a good old fashioned game where
two programs are trying to move upward and
improve,” said OSU assistant coach Rob Edmisson.
“We’re trying to keep our kids excited about play
ing and the prospect of improving.”
Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Reed Arena on
Wednesday night.
