during the Aggies win over Baylor Monday, conference play to remain in second place.

The Baylor volleyball team
never knew what hit it Monday
night as a strong Texas A&M
team dealt the Bears a stunning
defeat in three-straight games.
The Aggies won the match
15-11, 15-2 and 15-1, moving
Texas A&M to 5-1 in Southwest
Conference action while the
Bears’ conference record falls to
0-6.
The match was never really
close — despite the four-point
margin in the first game. Aggie
coach Terry Condon said the
team was a little overconfident
in the first game and didn’t con
centrate.
“We weren’t passing real well
in the first game,” freshman
starter Chris Zogata said. “We
made one mistake and con
tinued to make five or six more,
but we knew that we were going
to win.”
To remedy the Aggies’ first-
game slump, Condon changed
defenses in the second game.
“Switching the defense
forced them to concentrate
more and get their minds in the
game,” she said.
It worked, too. The Aggies
allowed only three points in the
last two games.
“Switching the defense was
easier against that team,” Zogata
said, “because they were getting
us deep in the corner.”
Despite the overconfidence
and lack of concentration in the
first game, Condon said she is
pleased with the way the team is
coming along this season.
“They seem to be getting bet
ter and better as the season goes
along,” she said. “Our setting
has gotten a lot better but we’re
still a little rusty in areas. We’ll
have a lot of practice time this
week.”
Condon said one of the
brightest spots on the young
Aggie team is sophomore stand
out Sherri Brinkman — current
ly the Aggies’ top hitter.
“Sherri has improved a hun
dred percent in her mental
game this season,” Condon said.
“It was a fun game,” Brink-
man said. “We felt like we were
all playing together and every
thing was flowing out there. If
one person had a bad play, we all
were in there giving support.”
The Aggies will have the week
off before returning to action
Monday night against the Rice
Owls at 7:30 in G. Rollie White
Coliseum.
After Rice, the Aggies re
maining home schedule in
cludes a game against Texas
Tech on Nov. 7 and a rematch
against conference-leading
Texas Nov. 16.
Last year, Texas A&M was
leading the conference race un
til the Horns bumped A&M
from the top in the final game of
the season. This year, the Aggies
hope to return the favor after
falling to Texas during the first
round of conference action. The
Aggies are undefeated in con
ference games except for the
loss to the Longhorns.
ardinals slug out tie with Giants
I United Press International
tary ftl. LOUIS — Neil O’Do-
Bghue of St. Louis, whose 22-
yaitl field goal with 54 seconds
■naming in regulation forced
an extra period, missed attempts
of 45, 20 and 43 yards in over
time Monday night, enabling
the New York (iiants to salvage a
B-20 tie against the Cardinals.
BA rare 34-yard punt by
Giants’ All-Pro Dave Jennings
gave the Cardinals possession at
the New York 34, but O’Do-
noghue was short and wide left
ie | ( | 1; on a 45-yard attempt at 6:10 of
(i pj, the extra period.
nCeifBiA 32-yard pass from Neil
lyyiliot Lomax to Roy Green later gave
a f eS i the Cardinals a first down at the
New York 2-yard line and after
an incompletion, St, Louis coach
im Hanifan elected to go for the
oiscJTffeld goal on second down.
j^&O’Donoghue, however, was
ITT wide right on a 20-yard attempt.
Rookie cornerback Lionel
liiixWashington gave O’Donoghue a
tim'd chance when he picked off
a Jeff Rutledge pass and re
turned the ball 25 yards to the
New York 25 in the final minute
of overtime. Again on second
down, Hanifan sent in O’Do
noghue, whose 43-yard attempt
was wide right with 22 seconds
left, leaving both clubs tied for
the NFC east basement At 2-5.
The Giants’ deepest penetra
tion in overtime was to the St.
Louis 44, but New York took a
5-yard delay of game penalty
and punted.
O’Donoghue’s 22-yarder with
54 seconds remaining in regula
tion was set up when Giants’
rookie safety Terry Kinard,
making just his second profes
sional start, was called for pass
interference against Pat Tilley,
giving the Cardinals a first down
at the New York 4.
Lomax then passed to a wide-
open Roy Green in the end zone,
but the Cardinals’ top receiver
chopped the ball. On second
down, Lomax flipped a short
pass to Willard Harrell, open in
the right flat, but the ball also fell
through the running back’s
hands, A third-down incomple
tion brought on O’Donoghue,
who tied the score 20-20.
Giants’ rookie Ali Haji-
Sheikh, who earlier in the game
had set a club record with his
13th straight field goal, attemp
ted a 66-yard field goal in the
closing seconds of regulation,
but his try at an NFL record fell
well short.
Haji-Sheikh gave the Giants a
20-17 advantage at 5:40 of the
fourth period when he capped a
penalty-aided 63-yard drive
with a 29-yard field goal. The
Cardinals had stopped New
York at its own 22, but Dave
Ahrens was flagged with a 15-
yard unnecessary roughness
penalty on a punt to give the
Giants an automatic first down.
Four plays later, St. Louis cor
nerback Wayne Smith was called
for a 19-yard pass interference
penalty to give the Giants
another first down. A 23-yard
pass from Jeff Rutledge, playing
in his first regular-season game
since 1981, to rookie Malcolm
Scott moved the ball to the St.
Louis 5-yard line before the Car
dinal defense stiffened and
Haji-Sheikh came on for his
14th consecutve field goal.
Rutledge, who started only
the second game of his 5-year
career, missed seven consecutive
pass attempts in the first half be
fore warming up. He finished
the game 2 l-of-46 for 208 yards
while Rob Carpenter gained 79
yards on 24 carries for New

Aggie QB Murray
will be full speed
for SMU Saturday
by Melissa Adair
Battalion Staff
Texas A&M quarterback Kevin Murray should be at full
speed for SMU on Saturday, coach Jackie Sherrill said Monday
at his weekly press conference.
Murray injured his right knee late in the fourth quarter
against Rice Saturday when he tackled Owl defensive back Troy
Cates. Cates had picked off a Murray pass near the goal line and
was returning it when Murray made the tackle.
“Kevin suffered no mechanical damage to his right knee, but
it will be sore,” Sherrill said. “We may hold him out for two days,
but I expect him to be 100 percent by gametime Saturday.”
Sherrill said he was disappointed in the way his young club let
down after jumping ahead of Rice 14-0 in the first quarter.
“We just lost our enthusiasm,” he said. “It’s evident we didn’t
play well after that. Defensively we weren’t splattering people
and moving like we have. But we still held them tojust 81 yards.”
That 81 yards was the Owls’ lowest offensive output of the
year.
Sherrill said several Aggies are suffering from injuries. Full
back George Smith was held out of the Rice game with a bad
ankle. However, Smith practiced Thursday and should be back
to normal Saturday. His replacement, freshman Roger Vick,
ran 18 times for 79 yards against the Owls, including an 11-yard
touchdown run.
Back-up left offensive tackle Bruce Lawson will be lost for the
year after suffering a knee injury, Sherrill said. Doctors will
determine this week what type of surgery Lawson will need.
Lawson was hurt in the first quarter of the Rice game on an
extra point attempt.
Sherrill commended defensive end Ray Childress and line
backer Greg Berry on defense, and tight end Rich Siler on
offense. Siler caught seven passes for 75 yards.
Sherrill said this weekend’s match against SMU won’t be easy.
“SMU’s defense is very experienced,” he said. “Overall, I
would say that their defense is better this year than last year.
Offensively, they lost (Eric) Dickerson and (Craig) James, but
they’ve got some game breakers in those freshmen wide receiv
ers (Marquis Pleasant and Ron Morris). They go deep on every
play, and it keeps you from letting your secondary play run
support.”
The Mustangs lost to Texas 15-12 Saturday in Irving. They
are currently 5-1 overall, 2-1 in Southwest Conference play.
The Aggies are 3-3-1, 2-1-1 in the SWC.
