Season opener successful
Aggie Ladies set Redbirds
by John P. Lopez
Battalion Staff
The Aggie women’s volleyball
team spotted Illinois State the
first two games Thursday night,
but came on strong in the later
stages to defeat the Redbirds in a
match that was much closer than
coach Terry Condon expected.
“They (the Redbirds) were
really playing well,” Condon
said. “They’re a lot better than
they were last year.”
Another factor contributing
to the Redbirds’ early lead, Con
don said, was a case of nervous
ness on the part of the Aggie
Ladies.
“We couldn’t do anything at
first,” she said, “but if you ignore
those first two games, I think we
did real well. We still need to
work on a few things, but overall
we did a good job.”
The Aggie Ladies lost their
butterflies in the third game
when Lisa Johnson, Sherri
Brinkman and Joey Vrazel took
control of the match. In the
third game, Johnson played a
key role in the comeback when
she single-handedly accounted
for 10 of the Aggies’ 15 points by
serving for seven points and
spiking three more to the floor
herself.
From then on it was Brink-
man and Vrazel dueling each
other for the spotlight. Both
players played spectacularly in
the final three games. They
blocked several shots, made di
ving saves of spikes, perfectly
placed dink (soft) shots and
spiked with authority.
“They were just hitting and
placing the ball real well
tonight,” Condon said. “But
that’s the kind of play I’m going
to expect, especially from Joey. I
know Joey can play like she did
tonight all the time.”
Cathy Frederick also played a
key role in the comeback, Con
don said.
“She’s one of the more experi
enced setters and better servers
on the team, so I would substi
tute her in and out in certain
situations,” she said. Condon
used Maureen Dunn as a setter
when Frederick was out of the
game.
“Maureen is a little taller so I
used her in the front of the net
for blocking purposes,” she said.
Brinkman, Vrazel and John
son showed their importance in
the fifth game when, after Texas
A&M fell behind 8-4, they
scored or assisted in scoring the
Aggie Ladies’ next five points.
Johnson tied the score at nine
with a dink shot that fell over the
outstretched arms of the Red-
bird blockers.
The Aggie Ladies then took
control and held ISU scoreless
the rest of the game. The final
score of the match was 10-15,
7-15, 15-9, 15-8, 15-9 — good
enough to satisfy Condon.

iolo tackles while playing on the
Jrowns’ special teams.
; “He had a real good presea
son, ’ Baldwin said. “He’s just a
demon on the kicking team. I
didn’t even know he could tackle
that well.”
IpAs the No. 2 right defensive
end, Baldwin will enter games
.during “nickel defense” time,
when the Browns’ opposition is
forced into passing situations. In
such cases, he’ll be one of four
defensive linemen.
■Although Cleveland finished
Hi and in last place in the
AFC’s Central Division during
1981, Baldwin expects the
team’s undefeated preseason
slate to carry over into the 16-
game regular season.
H‘We had a real good presea
son and I think we have the tools
to improve on last season,” he
said. “The Browns had a lot of
injuries last year, and if we can
avoid those, we’ll have a good
season.”
Encountering players like
Brian Sipe, Tom Cousineau and
fellow rookie Chip Banks has
been an exciting experience,
Baldwin said.
“It’s been a real thrill,” he
said. “I’m up here with all the
guys I’ve been watching on TV
all the time ... I’m amazed that
I’m here.”
The Browns have been noted
for their offensive firepower in
the past, but this season, the
situation should be different,
Baldwin said.
“They’re saying that for the
first time, the defense is on the
same level as the offense, so we
should be pretty balanced,” he
said. “Sunday’s (season opener)
with Seattle should be a chal
lenge for the defense, because
Seattle has a good quarterback
(Jim Zorn) and a good receiver
in (Steve) Largent.”
