Mary Reyes — THE BATTALION
SMART CONTINUED
“On Maggies’ side, it’s about women in
leadership, and empowering women, and
on our side it’s a conversation about poli
cy,” Mathews said. “Smart has been active
in advocating for victims of abduction in
policy fields. It’s a little bit outside of our
mission, but we thought that the program
has been worth bringing to campus.”
Wiley Lecture Series’ advisor Deryle
Richmond said events like Smart’s lecture
provide students an avenue for secondary
education outside of the classroom.
“In general, what we hope is that we in
vest in events that will educate our campus
and community, that will allow student
to hear from people that are newsmak
ers and have been in the news, to allow
them to pose questions to these people and
not have it filtered through the paper or
other forms of media,” Richmond said.
“Whether that is Elizabeth Smart or Da
vid Axelrod, or anyone in between, all of
them are designed to amplify the educa
tion we get in the classroom.”
Smart’s lecture will begin at 6:30 p.m.
in Rudder T heatre.
CATANZARITI CONTINUED
tear. In that span, first-year Aggies are 18-0
and Catanzariti accounts for eight of those
wins.
Denton said Catanzariti’s heightened play
traces back to a moment early in his col
legiate career.
“What really tipped us off of how good
he could be was how well he played at the
All-American tournament in Tulsa,” Den
ton said. “He won eight matches over the
course of the week and a half that we were
there and I think that obviously relaxed him
and gave him confidence that he could play
at this level and he has continued to improve
since then as well.”
However, the freshman doesn’t let the
success get to his head. I nstead, he relies on
advice given to him when he was in high
school.
“Honestly, my coaches back when I was
in [high school], they always just say like,
‘Just keep your head down and grind,”’ Cat
anzariti said. “Once you’re on the court it’s
a new match.”
Catanzariti and his freshman doubles
partner, Arthur Rinderknech, continue to
play well both together and individually for
the Aggies, and part of that is due to their
teamwork and focus when it comes time to
perform. Catanzariti said having a teammate
his age helps with chemistry and adds a new
element of motivation.
“We pump each other up before the
match, we’re like, ‘Here we go,’ between
us two — realistically with two people,
if you’re playing well you could help the
doubles point and that’s two singles points,”
Catanzariti said. “We always tell each other
we need each other.”
Being a student-athlete at a university
like Texas A&M doesn’t allow for much
free time, but Catanzariti and his teammates

find time to indulge in a few things here
and there unrelated to studying or playing
tennis.
In addition to fiddling around with the
guitar every once and a while with his team
mate, Harry Adams, Catanzariti said there is
one thing the A&M tennis team cannot go
a day without — “our whole team has this
game, Clash of Clans and we’re so obsessed
with it,” Catanzariti said.
The freshman has set the stage for a long,
promising career at Texas A&M, and he
and the Aggies are looking to finish the year
strong and protect their national top-eight
ranking and place as the No. 2 team in the
SEC.
