SOCCER
A&M, TCU play, raise money for cancer research: The Texas A&M soccer team picked up a 4-1 win over TCU on Sunday in a spring exhibition that helped raise money for cancer research.
Fans donated $292 to Lunch for Life, a program supporting the Children's Neuroblastoma Cancer Foundation. Those in attendance wore green in honor of Erin Beunger, a member of the Mystic '97 soccer team who is battling cancer.
"This was a good spring exercise for us, but it was really neat to see how many people came out in support of Erin wearing green," A&M head coach G. Guerrieri said. "I know it would mean a lot to her and it means a lot to us to see what the community does for its kids."
TENNIS
A&M men rally past OSU: TULSA, Okla. -- The No. 14 Texas A&M men's tennis team rallied for four singles victories and beat No. 29 Oklahoma State 4-3 on Sunday at the Michael D. Case Tennis Center.

It was the first victory over Oklahoma State for third-year A&M coach Steve Denton, and it improved A&M's record to 10-5 overall and 2-0 in the Big 12. OSU fell to 7-5 and 0-2.
The Aggies were swept in doubles but came back strong in singles play. Wil Spencer at the No. 3 line, Alexey Grigorov at No. 4 and Colin Hoover at No. 6 each won to bring A&M back before Austin Krajicek rallied to beat Nathan Byrnes 6-4, 6-7, 7-6 to clinch the team victory.
