Multiple
injuries plague Frogs
From
the outside looking in, it appears as though the Frogs
are destined for disaster.
After losing their top three offensive weapons, the Frogs
managed to defeat Vanderbilt two weeks ago and arrived
in Arizona for a showdown with the Wildcats. They barely
survived and came away with a 13-10 victory in overtime.
The victory proved to be a costly one as two more key
players, safety Marvin Godbolt and receiver Quentily Harmon,
suffered injuries. |

Marquette 1-0 Friday and with two weekend wins pushed
their record to 5-4-1 overall, and 3-1-0 in Conference
USA.
Junior Jessi Moore and Freshmen Karissa Hill and Kim
Thompson each scored a goal against Saint Louis, while
junior Amy Van Zandt had the lone goal against Marquette.
Next the Frogs travel to Palo-Alto, Calif. for a pair
of non-conference matches. TCU will face Loyola-Marymount

Menichini,
Gallman defeated by Baylor
Senior
tennis player Alex Menichini, ranked 47th nationally,
had a daunting task in front of him Sunday in the semifinals
of the gold singles flight of the HEB Baylor Intercollegiate
in Waco when he faced No. 1-rated Benedikt Dorsch from
Baylor. Although the Calabasas, Calif., native could not
pull off the upset, he gave Dorsch more than he bargained
for, falling by a 6-4, 7-6(6) count. TCU freshman Robert
Gallman was also in action in the quarterfinals of the
gold flight consolation draw. He was also downed by a
top-25 contender in No. 17 Benjamin Becker, also from
Baylor, by scores of 6-1, 7-6(5).
