WoMeN’S GoLF
Longhorn seniors head into what could be their final weekend By Matt Hohner Daily Texan Staff It’s that time of the year again. The madness of May begins. The Texas women’s golf team will compete in the NCAA West Regional Championship today in Tempe, Ariz. The Longhorns will vie for a top-eight finish in a field of 21 teams. The top eight teams from each of the four regional sites will advance to Owings Mills, Md., for the NCAA championships. The competitive field will be a test for the women in burnt orange as the Horns take on teams that have carded low scores this season, such as Arizona State, Southern California, Pepperdine, Nevada-Las Vegas and Texas A&M. The West Regional, hosted by Arizona State, will be held at the ASU Karsten Golf Course. The Sun Devils will have a big advantage off the tee box, playing on their home course. The Longhorns had this same opportunity last year, when Texas hosted the NCAA Central Regional

Championship. Senior Kelley Louth feels that the course is for the team’s taking because it is a good fit for everyone. She and the other seniors have played on the course before, and they know how to attack the fairways and approach the greens. Historically, the Longhorns have found success at the ASU Golf Course. The team held a school record of 285 at the 2003 PING/ASU Invitational, taking second place. Caney Hines shot a career low of 68 in the same tournament in 2006. The players are not alone in finding success in Tempe — head coach Martha Richards has as well. The former Stanford Cardinal was awarded the individual medal at the 1993 PING/ASU Invitational. Richards will play a lineup including Louth, Caney Hines, Kristin Walla, Shannon Fish and Nicole Vandermade. For seniors like Louth, it may be their last opportunity to wear the Longhorn across their chests, as
the season might come to a close over the weekend. Louth doesn’t look at it that way, though she has demonstrated some senior leadership in the clubhouse. “Go out and play your best,” Louth said. “We’ve spent some time together and told each other we can do this. We’re building each other up and letting each other know that we’ll do well.” The team has struggled with not carding low scores on the same day. The team will try to put together a string of scores to advance to the NCAA championship. “One of those things I feel like, we haven’t played to our potential all year,” Louth said. “We’re seeded at something start of day, have what it takes, matter of putting scores together.” Louth has played outstandingly over the spring semester, leading the Longhorns as the top finisher in three straight tournament appearances. Vandermade has also concluded the first chapter of her Longhorn career on a high note. The fresh-
WHAT: NCAA West Regional Championships WHERE: ASU Karsten Golf Course (Tempe, Ariz.) WHEN: Thursday through Saturday man received All Big 12 Women’s Honors, the 13th player to receive the accolade in Longhorn history. “It’s an honor [for] this award to come,” Vandermade said. “Its nice to look back and get rewarded for the hard work I’ve put in.” Vandermade was awarded All Tournament team honors at the Big 12 championship a couple of weeks ago for placing in the top 10 of the individual standings. Yet all of her individual accomplishments mean nothing to her if her team doesn’t come out on top this weekend. “My goals are set on higher things,” Vandermade said. “We’re all focused and ready to play our best. We all know how good we are, and the rankings don’t really reflect that.”
BASEBALL: Thomas pitches solid outing; Belt powers offense Texas State game I had a big confidence boost. I just realized you can’t overpower everyone on this level. You have to hit spots.” For the first five innings, Thomas was hitting every spot. “We wanted him to pitch four to five innings, and he pitched brilliant in four to five innings,” Texas head coach Augie Garrido said. “We violated the plan by sending him out there in the sixth, and that usually doesn’t work out well. We tried to squeeze another inning out of him.” After the hiccup, Carrillo shut down the Tigers, allowing only one hit in his three innings of relief. Freshman Austin Dicharry, who began the season starting mid-week games before moving into a middle relief role on the

Not bad for his first start as a Longhorn — a start he didn’t know he would be making until he arrived at UFCU Disch-Falk Field on Wednesday afternoon. “It definitely was exciting,” Thomas said. “I didn’t find out I was starting till I got to the ballpark this afternoon, and then the butterflies were going all over the place. But after the first pitch I really settled down.” With three straight strong outings, Thomas has been slowly building up confidence. On Wednesday, his confidence took a big leap. “I have just been trying to work hard,” Thomas said. “After the
weekends, came in to close down Texas Southern and threw a perfect ninth inning, striking out one Tiger. Thomas may be working toward a role similar to Dicharry’s. “[Thomas] is building toward a middle relief role,” Garrido said. “With the breaking ball his has and with the location he has right now, he can get a lot of hitters out.”
In a midweek game squeezed between Texas’ final two Big 12 series — including this weekend’s showdown with rival Texas A&M that will likely decide if Texas wins a Big 12 championship — it would be easy to fall asleep Wednesday, or not even show up, as the majority of Texas1 fans did. “We played a lot like a professional team,” Garrido said.

Cubs overpower Astros 6-3 as Harden tops Hampton Rich Harden pitched into the eighth inning and Reed Johnson hit a bases-loaded triple Wednesday to lead the Chicago Cubs to victory over the Houston Astros 6-3. Aramis Ramirez added a solo home run for the Cubs, who have won five of their last six games. Harden (3-1) allowed his first run with two outs in the fourth before retiring the next 10 batters. Harden didn’t give up another hit until Michael Bourn singled in the eighth, and Lance Berkman followed with a home run. Johnson, who entered the game with one RBI this season, put the Cubs ahead in the first against Mike Hampton (1-3). Johnson scored on a passed ball by Ivan Rodriguez to make it 4-0. — The Associated Press

“We wanted [Stayton Thomas] to pitch four to five innings, and he pitched brilliant in four to five innings.”
“Not a high level of emotion but we played with a high level of fundamentals.” Texas was even out-hit by Texas Southern 8-7. “It isn’t just about hitting, if that was the case they would have beat us,” Garrido said. “Our throwing was good, our fielding was good, we had good rhythm and timing.” Of Texas’ seven runs, three were unearned, the result of three Tiger errors. Texas, which has committed 11 errors in 30 home games all season, continued to play strong defense on the slow FieldTurf at UFCU Disch-Falk Field. Brandon Belt lead the offense with two hits and two RBI. Belt leads the team in batting with a .346 average.
