Ags resist scrappy Bulldogs By TONY CORNETT Sports Writer The Texas A&M women’s volley ball team made the closing game just as exciting as the opening game as they spiked their way to a 15-3, 3-15, 15-8, 16-14 win over the Georgia Bulldogs. The Aggies came out smoking in the first game and it looked for a while like it might be a blowout. But Georgia came right back in the sec ond to hand the Ags a dose of their own poison by the same 15-3 score. The third game was hard-fought as the Ags tried to get back on track. The Aggies led the fourth game up until the “Lady Dogs” tied it up at 13-13. It was tied again at 14-14 but the Ags capitalized on a long Georgia serve at 15-14 and sent Sherri Brinkman to the service line on the sideout. She executed the fi nal serve of the evening while the Aggie defense executed the game winning play. “A&M looks awesome,” said Georgia Coach Sid Feldman, “They could be in the final four if they want to play like that.”(as they did in the first game) “They just ran after every ball that went random and that’s the sign of a good team.” Aggie Head Coach Terry Condon tended to look at the second game loss rather than the first game vic tory. “That did not make me happy,” said Condon, “They get so far ahead that first game and it feels so easy to them that they relax too much and they kick back. They get themselves in a hole and you can’t do that against a team like this.” Condon was, of course, glad to see her team beat the Bulldogs. The Ag gie record moves to 4-1 while Georgia drops to 1-3. The Ags will face Michigan State Thursday night at 7:30 in G. Rollie White.
