THE BATTALION
While a 6-3 record might not
sound all that impressive, it was
good enough to keep the Texas
A&M men’s tennis team in the top
10 of the Intercollegiate Tennis
Association rankings on Tuesday.
The association kept the
Aggies at No. 9 by realizing that
their three losses all came
against top-10 opponents on the
road and indoors.
In last weekend’s USTA/ITA
National Team Indoor
Championships, the Aggies fin
ished 2-1. They lost to No. 6
Duke University, but then
rebounded to sweep No. 48
Tulsa University and No. 11
University of California.
“I think after losing to Duke,
we played with a lot of desire,’’
said A&M head coach Tim
Cass. “I think Tulsa will be a
top-25 team before the year is
over and clearly (California) is a
very good team, so all in all, I
felt like it was a successful trip.”
This long road has made the
Aggies weary for home, the place
they will be this weekend as they
face off against Lamar Saturday
at 1:30 p.m. at the George P.
Mitchell Tennis Center.
“It feels so good to be at home
and get to sleep in your own bed
for more than two or three days
in a row.” said A&M senior cap
tain Khaled El Dorry. “You have
your own routine at home and get
to do your own thing, instead of
being on the road and eating dif
ferent food at different places and
sleeping in different hotels.
Being home is great.”
Besides enjoying the com
forts of home, the Aggies
should also enjoy a comfortable
opponent, which should come
as a nice break considering
A&M’s recent competition.
On paper, as well as on the
court, Lamar seems to pose no
challenge to A&M. The
Cardinals began the season with
two shutout losses to Southern
Methodist University and Texas
Tech, before finally winning
their first two singles matches in
a 5-2 loss to Abilene Christian.
The Aggies don’t want to
take Lamar too lightly, however.
“We know that everybody
comes into our place, and they’ve
heard about the crowd and the
fans and get pretty excited, so we
know that they're going to play
their best,” El Dorry said. “We
hope we can get a win, but at the
same time, we know that we’re
going to have to earn it. We are
expecting Lamar to come out and
play the best they can because
they’re playing at one of the best
facilities in the country, in front
of great fans and against a ranked
opponent, so it's a great opportu
nity for them.”
After facing Lamar on
Saturday, the Aggies will once
again leave the comforts of
home for another road stretch,
which will include matches
against No. 13 TCU, Nebraska
and Colorado. A&M will then
be back at home on Feb. 28
when it faces the University of
Texas-San Antonio.
“In this next period.
Colorado is a difficult place to
play at. as is Nebraska in confer
ence matches," Cass said. "Also.
TCU just moved up to 13th in
the country and LSU (who the
Aggies play in March) just
moved up to 15th or 16th, so I'm
not so sure that our schedule is
going to soften too much.”

Softball travels to
Phoenix tournament
This weekend, the No. 18
Texas A&M softball team will trav
el to Phoenix. Az., to compete in
the Fiesta Bowl Tournament
where they will seek revenge with
the No. 3 Arizona Wildcats, the
team that ended A&M's postsea
son play a year ago.
The Aggies (3-0) were ousted in
the regional final by Arizona, who
eventually finished in fourth-
place at the Women’s College
World Series.
While in Phoenix, the Aggies
will take on national contenders
such as Arizona, No. 5
Washington, No. 16 Oregon,
No. 21 Fresno State and New
Mexico. The round-robin tourna
ment format will give the Aggies
valuable experience as they will
play five games in three days
against some of the nation’s
best squads.
"I am excited to see.jjs com
pete against the caliber of
teams that we will see," said
A&M head coach Jo Evans.
‘‘We will certainly be tested by
all of our opponents."
A&M’s offense is led by senior
outfielder Sherah Atkins who is
hitting .667 with one home run,
two triples and four runs batted
in, through the Aggies’ first
three games.
Aggie pitching has been almost
perfect throughout the team's
first three games as it has
allowed just one run this season.
The Aggies’ first game is
scheduled to begin at 1:15 p.m.
against Oregon.
