This was A&M’s highest NCAA championship finish in school history. UCLA took first, for its first national title in 21 years, fol lowed by defending champion LSU. The University of Nebraska took third and the University of Texas took fourth. Senior Melissa Gulli got things started for the Aggies oo Thursday night with a fifth- place finish in the 10,000- meter run. The Aggies scored 13 of the 17 team points on Friday night in the women's javelin. Senior Katy Doyle's NCAA title in the javelin com petition. along with a sixth- place finish by sophomore Rachel Walker racked up the large majority of the Aggies' team point total. The A&M men’s track and field team finished in a tie for 38th place with a total ol seven team points. Senior Ronny Jimenez' fifth-place fin ish in the shot put Saturday night, coupled with a sixth- place finish in the discus by senior Josh Ralston, made up A&M's full team-point total. N Pistons beat Lakers in game 4 AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP)- Poised and primed for a title, the Detroit Pistons took careot business while the Lakers lost their tempers. Building a lead early in the fourth quarter, holding it the rest of the way and repelling every Los Angeles rally, the Pistons moved one victory clos er to their first championship in 14 years with a convincing 88- 80 victory Sunday night in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. With a 3-1 lead, Detroit has made one thing crystal clear: It is the better of these two bas ketball teams, winning without egos and superstars - and the problems that come with them. These were some of the scenes that Pistons' fans will cherish: Chauncey Billups mak ing timely 3-pointers, Rasheed Wallace backpedalling down- court with a minute left after making a jumper that capped his best game of the playoffs; Richard Hamilton calmly knock ing down free throws. As for the Lakers, the snapshots were these: Kobe Bryant scream ing at the referees and picking up a late technical foul; Shaquille O’Neal yelling at someone in the Lakers' huddle, most likely Bryant, for failing to get him the ball; Karl Malone staying parked on the bench for the entire fourtfi quarter, a nonfactor again. It’s almost over for these Lakers, their breakup possibly coming in the next week. Game 5 is Tuesday night, and the Pistons could become the first team to bring the title back to the Eastern Conference since Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls won it in 1998. becai these like t havir Sumi place And, of tht first 1 the e In some gasol elect and I of th A camp See it Presi the o tious one-l wind B are s try tl fictic and ( dene Tl line ] be hi Ener after curre $1.9' VN abou Ame math price withi histo Depi price abov mid- belo> recoi inal i real i In re colui Cardinals rout Rangers, 13-2 ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - The St. Louis Cardinals might not want to go home. After batting around in each of the first two innings and build ing a 10-run lead, the Cardinals completed another winning roadtrip with a 13-2 win Sunday over the Texas Rangers. “It’s the same game here, in St. Louis and everywhere," said catcher Yadier Molina, who drove in three runs. “Let's go play the same game we played here.” Need a Tutor? 99Tutors.com helpful, friendly tutors for all subjects Apply at
