Six school records fell and 19 players lifted personal bests. A8cM heads to LSU By Jon Gilbert the battalion Texas A&M knows all about tough places to play. A&M fans make the George P. Mitchell Tennis Center a diffi cult place for opposing teams to get a win. Yet, Louisiana State I m\a'sii\'s home court may he about as tough a place as the Aggies will see this season. A&M women's tennis head coach Bobby Kleinecke real izes the hostility his team is going to encounter in Baton Rouge, La., Thursday. “No matter what has been going in your season, when you play LSU, you throw everything out,” Kleinecke said. “You can throw out the records and everything else. It's a hostile environment down there and we will have to be ready to play.” The Aggies (9-5, 2-0 Big 12) know these tough road matches will help their play. After all, they are playing their best tennis of the season right now, partly because of their brutally challenging non-con ference schedule where they played six teams ranked in the nation’s top 13. A&M is coming off a 4-2 win against No. 30 Pennsylvania Monday night. The Aggies lost the doubles point, only to rally back to win four of five singles matches for the victory. A&M senior Roberta Spencer had a key come-from-behind win in singles that helped secure the win. For A&M, it was its second win this season against a top-30 opponent. “We won the match, but (Kleinecke) wasn’t pleased,” said A&M junior Helga Vieria. “We didn’t play well in doubles and we need to work on that.” Doubles has been the one aspect of the team’s perfor mance this year that hasn’t been consistently solid. With seven of its next eight matches on the road, and the heart of the Big 12 schedule coming up, the team needs to conquer its dou bles struggles. LSU (7-5. 0-4 SEC) is com ing off a road trip where it lost four of five matches and all four matches against Southeastern Conference schools. It is still a dangerous team though. After all. it made the NCAA Tournament last year and lost, ironically, to A&M in the first round. “It’s a rivalry,” Kleinecke said. “We played them twice last year and both matches were highly-competitive and close. We will have to come ready to play. It will be a great test for our team and will defi nitely help us down the road.” Despite its struggles in dou bles Monday night against Pennsylvania, the team showed a lot of championship qualities in rallying for the victory. “We came together as a team, when our backs were to the wall, and really fought through it,” Vieria said. “We fought hard and gave it all we had, and it was enough in the end.” Kleinecke said he loves the qualities that his team displays when the game is on the line. “They’re never going to give in,” Kleinecke said. “They’re going to keep on fighting and that’s what makes this team special.” Big 12 Continued from page 7 Johnson is in the top five of every offensive individual category for the Big 12. Missouri head coach Quinn Snyder said Johnson has been a large help in the Tigers’ recent games, but won’t be the only factor on the court. “If you look at our team numbers, our numbers are sound,” Snyder said. “It’s a whole new situation at the tournament, though, so we’re still going to have to show up and play well.” To win, Watkins said, A&M will have to solve problems that plagued it during the Jan. 10 game, as well as problems that have plagued the team all season long. The Aggies shot 41 percent from the floor against the Tigers, and the A&M defense often let Missouri go on scoring runs, including a 20-to-6 run. During Big 12 play this season, A&M has shot only 40 percent from the floor and is at the bottom of every team defensive category except rebounding. The Aggies are coming off an especially dismal 70-41 loss against No. 7 Oklahoma State University Saturday, in which A&M shot only 34 percent from the field and allowed OSU to go on three runs of eight points or more. Watkins said his announcement was due to the media’s recent constant speculation of his job status, which might have been cloud ing some of the player’s minds. “Is there ever a good time to announce something like this? No.” Watkins said. “I don’t want this to take away from what we have to do, which is go out and beat Missouri.” for *9 S 979-764-1844 BRYAN COLLEGE STATION Carkeeper Brakes 1 Year/12,000 Mile Warranty $ A99 Most Cars Installation Extra Lifetime VSD Brakes . vOO" | _ Installation l MostCars^^ lifetime Warrontyt I 45 pt.
