A&M’s Chemine Doty (10) spikes the ball past Georgia blockers during the Ags’win.

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.
PROMISE THEM ANYTHING!
