J'Covan Brown added 12 points for the Longhorns (13-7, 3-4 Big 12) on an otherwise poor shooting night for Texas' leading scorer this season. Julien Lewis also scored 12 for Texas. Iowa State, the Big 12 leader in 3-pointers, had a miserable shooting night, going 5 of 21 from long range and 33 percent from the floor overall. Two of the 3-pointers came in the final minute, when Chris Allen and Chris Babb connected to pull Iowa State within 58-55 before free throws by Brown and a layup by Kabongo ended the rally. Royce White led the Cyclones (14-6, 4-3) with 15 points. ![]()
The Longhorns scored the game's first 11 points and opened the second half with a 15-2 run to pull away from Missouri. UT never trailed in the game and led by as many as 22 points. Christine Flores led the Tigers with 12 points and eight rebounds. BreAnna Brock posted a double-double with 11 points and 13 rebounds. Missouri shot 28.8 percent from the field on the night. UT travels to Texas Tech on Saturday, Jan. 28. Tipoff is scheduled for 2 p.m. in Lubbock.

The Longhorns logged 16 hits over 14 innings, including six doubles and one home run. Erich Weiss led the hit parade going 4-for-7 with one run, two doubles and three RBI. Mark Payton went 2-for-2 with one walk, one run, one double and one RBI before leaving the game in the sixth inning. Jacob Felts went 2-for-3 with one walk, two runs, one double and two RBI before he exited in the 10th inning. Kevin Lusson hit the Longhorns lone home run and went 1-for-2 with one walk, two runs. Texas had seven pitchers toe the rubber. Sam Stafford was the most effective. He pitched the fourth, fifth and sixth innings, facing just nine batters and striking out the last six he faced. He issued one walk, but the runner was caught stealing. Austin Dicharry pitched a scoreless eighth and ninth inning, allowing one hit and striking out two over 2.0 innings. Justin Peters allowed hit and fanned one over 1.0 shutout frames. Nathan Thornhill allowed a single, but erased the runner with a double play as he faced six batters in 2.0 innings. Parker French, John Curtiss and Hoby Milner each allowed two runs. Parker French got the win as the starter, allowing two runs on three hits and one walk while striking out three over 3.0 innings. Texas put up multiple run frames in the first, second, fourth and eighth innings and added single runs in the ninth, 10th and 12th. The Longhorns broke the scoring seal early with two runs in the bottom of the first. Payton drew a leadoff walk and was sacrificed to second with a bunt by Brooks Marlow. Weiss hit a sun-aided double to leftfield, plating Payton. Weiss came around to score when the Bobcats had a throwing error trying to complete an inning ending double play. The Bobcats tied the game at 2-2 in the top of the second with a two-run home run by Jeff McVaney. Texas responded with a two-run home half of the second to reclaim the lead. Jonathan Walsh hit a leadoff double and scored on a single through the right side of the infield by Felts. Taylor Stell replaced Felts on first with a fielder’s choice groundout and came around to score on a double to rightfield by Payton to give Texas a 4-2 edge. The Longhorns inflated the cushion to 7-2 with three runs in the fourth. The inning was highlighted by a two-run single by Stell and a one-run single by Weiss. Texas State trimmed the lead to 7-4 with two runs in the seventh. Isaac Nuti plated a run with a groundout and Cody Gambill singled in the second run of the frame. Texas put the game out of reach with a three-run eighth. Walsh, Felts and Cohl Walla produced RBI with a groundout, double and single, respectively, to give the Longhorns a 10-4 edge. The lead ballooned to 13-4 as Weiss hit an RBI single in the ninth, Jackson drove in a run with a bases-loaded infield single in the 10th and Lusson hit a solo dinger to rightfield in the 12th. The Bobcats closed out the scoring with two-run home run by Tyler Sibley in the 13th. Texas returns to action on Feb. 17 with a 6 p.m. contest against the Duke Blue Devils to open up the 2012 season. ![]()
The Longhorns got on the board quickly in the bottom of the first inning. Lexy Bennett’s single scored Torie Schmidt, who earlier drew a walk and then stole second base. UT then added another run in the bottom of the fourth. Nadia Taylor hit a bouncing single into left field, which scored Courtney Craig from third and put the Longhorns in front, 2-0. Craig led off the inning with a stand-up double into the left-center field gap. Krissie Fountain’s two-out double in the fifth pushed UT’s lead to three, after Mandy Ogle scored from second base. Craig hammered a triple into center field with one out in the bottom of the sixth and came home after an illegal pitch was called against St. Edward’s. Four Texas hurlers limited the Hilltoppers to two hits in the win. Texas returns to McCombs Field on Friday, Oct. 28 when the Longhorns take on Incarnate Word. First pitch is slated for 6:30 p.m. Central ![]()

The final score was 160-125 but after the ninth event the Longhorns had a 147-41 lead to clinch the victory. For the remainder of the individual events, the Texas swimmers swam as an exhibition and were thus ineligible to score. “It is almost like a little snow ball rolling down a snow hill,” said Feigen. “It started with the Orange-White and we continue to gather momentum so hopefully by the end of the year we will be really strong when we get into March.” Prior to the meet, Texas honored its senior class before they swam in the final home meet of their career. The honorees included Neil Caskey, Matt Cooper, Jimmy Feigen, Eric Friedland, Matt Hoyland, Hayes Johnson, Drew Livingston, Kyle McNeilis and Jackson Wilcox. The seniors made the most of their big day. “I have some really great memories here over the last four years,” said Feigen. “I am happy we got to cap it off with a win and I am happy we are on such a great path for NCAA’s. It was a good reflection meet and luckily we had enough time today to do that.” Next weekend Texas will travel to Auburn for a dual meet Jan. 12-13 with action slated to begin at 5 p.m. on Friday and 1 p.m. on Saturday. • TEXAS LONGHORN WOMEN'S TRACK - 2006 OUTDOOR NATIONAL CHAMPION • • TEXAS LONGHORN TRACK AND FIELD FROM GOHORNS.COM •

Anderson became the Longhorns' first 100m NCAA Champion since 2005 as she crossed the line in 11.20 for the win and the first individual title of her career. The senior bumped her All-America total to 18 with the victory, giving her the third-most All-America honors in UT history. Hooker made history of her own as she became the second female in NCAA history to win three outdoor high jump titles Friday afternoon after she cleared 6-4.75 (1.95m) to win the 2009 NCAA Outdoor high jump crown. Hooker joins Arizona's Tanya Hughes who accomplished the feat from 1991-93. • TEXAS TENNIS - TEXAS GOLF • • TEXAS LONGHORN TENNIS AND GOLF FROM GOHORNS.COM • 2011-12 UT MEN'S TENNIS SCHEDULE 2011-12 UT WOMEN'S TENNIS SCHEDULE
The Longhorns, playing their second indoor road match in a week, quickly claimed victories at the first and second doubles positions to nail down the doubles point and assume a 1-0 lead. Junior Alex Hilliard and freshman Soren Hess-Olesen notched an 8-2 win over the Owls’ Harry Fowler and Justin To at first doubles. Texas junior Daniel Whitehead and sophomore David Holiner followed with an 8-2 win over Michael Nuesslein and Christian Saravia at the second slot. At third doubles, UT freshman Jacoby Lewis and sophomore Sudanwa Sitaram broke the serve of Rice’s Leif Berger and Sam Garforth-Bles to even their match at seven and force a tiebreaker. Lewis and Sitaram went on to win the tiebreaker to complete the Longhorns’ doubles sweep. “Our effort in doubles was really good tonight,” UT head coach Michael Center said. “We were very aggressive at Nos. 1 and 2 doubles. We were cutting a lot of points off at the net, and our energy level was really good. I was really pleased with those two doubles teams. At No. 3, Rice served for the match, but our guys broke them and won the tiebreaker. Our doubles teams were very strong tonight.”
Texas opened the contest by claiming two of three doubles matches to win the doubles point. Freshmen Lina Padegimaite and Noel Scott posted an 8-6 win over the Cavaliers’ Emily Fraser and Li Xi at first doubles. The Longhorns won the match at second doubles by way of a tiebreaker, as junior Aeriel Ellis and sophomore Cierra Gaytan-Leach edged Virginia’s Erin Vierra and Hana Tomljanovic, 9-8. “We had great performances in doubles from our freshmen at No. 1 doubles,” said UT head coach Patty Fendick-McCain. “They came from way back to win the match. We lost to that doubles team (UVA’s Fraser and Xi) in the finals last week (at the National Collegiate Tennis Classic). At No. 2, we were able to save a few match points to get that doubles point.”

The win marks the first time the Longhorns (278-296-282=856, -8) have won three-straight tournaments since 2002 when they claimed the Morris WilliamsIntercollegiate (March 25-26), U.S. Collegiate Championships (April 5-7), ASU Thunderbird/Savane Invitational (April 12-13) and Big 12 Championship (April 29-30). Texas has won its last three events (Jerry Pate Intercollegiate, Jack Nicklaus Invitational, Isleworth Collegiate Invitational) by a combined 63 strokes. Two-time U.S. Junior Amateur Champion Spieth cruised to his first collegiate victorywith a wire-to-wire win at Isleworth Country Club. He notched his second eagle of the tournament - this time on the 573-yard seventh hole - along with four birdies (Nos. 3, 4, 13, 16) and a lone bogey (No. 17) for a final-round 5-under 67. Spieth is the first Texas freshman to earn medalist honors since Frittelli accomplished the same feat at the 2009 Puerto Rico Classic (Feb. 27 - March 1). Frittelli notched his third runner-up finish of the fall at 3-under 213. After a bogey on the fifth hole, the reigning Big 12 Golfer of the Month found four birdies at Nos. 7, 9, 10 and 13 before making pars on his final five holes. Junior Julio Vegas(70-73-75) added a season-best finish with a tie for sixth place at 2-over 218. He previously finished eighth in the Jack Nicklaus Invitational and tied for 11th place in the first two events of the season. Sophomore Toni Hakula (70-79-72=222) and junior Cody Gribble(75-81-73=229) rounded out the Texas team in ties for 20th and 42nd, respectively.
The Betsy Rawls team crown is Texas' seventh overall win at its annual home tournament and first since 1999. Vandermade is the first Longhorn to earn medalist honors since Jessica Reese accomplished the feat in 2003. UT has produced nine individual champions since the tournament's inaugural year in 1974. Beginning Wednesday's final round tied for sixth place, Vandermade (72-73-69) overcame a four-stroke deficit for the first win of her collegiate career. She produced back-to-back birdies on the second and third holes before making a bogey at four and a third birdie on five. Vandermade dropped to as many as 4-under with another pair of subpars on nine and 10, but bogeys on 12 and 16 cost her two strokes. She capped off her victory with a 15-foot birdie putt on 18 to finish at 3-under for the day and 2-under 214 through three rounds. Pressel (72-71-72) overcame a bumpy trio of holes midway through her final round to produce an even-par scorecard and finish in second place at 1-under 215. After birdies on the first, second and fifth holes, she made back-to-back bogeys on six and seven and capped off the difficult stretch with a double bogey on eight. Pressel secured her final birdie of the round on the par-3 12th hole. Junior Katelyn Sepmoree (77-74-78) finished tied for 35th place at 13-over 229. Juniors Desiree Dubreuil (72-75-83) and Haley Stephens (72-79-80) trailed by one and two strokes, respectively, to finish tied for 39th and 47th places. Senior Megan Rosenfeld (80-77-82=239) and sophomore Alyssa Morgan (79-88-76=243) finished tied for 67th and 75th while competing as individuals.
