Rollie White Coliseum intimidated the Texas Longhorn women’s vol leyball team into conceding victory in the first game to the Texas Aggies Wednesday night. But it didn’t last. The Aggies easily dominated the Longhorns in the first game and both coaches said that the home crowd, a record for women’s athlet ics, had a lot to do with it. “The crowd won the first game,” Longhorn coach Mick Haley said. “Not a whole lot turned the game around. The crowd was such an in tense crowd at first that we were hav ing a lot of trouble communicating.” While A&M Head Coach Terry Condon said that the crowd defi nitely helped to win the first game, she believed that the Aggies out played the Horns. Inconsistency was the bear that caught the Aggies by the tail, Con don said. T he Ags won their first game 15-8, but lost the next three — 15-12, 15-8 and 15-10. “They played the first game well,” Condon said. “Texas is really consis tent. “We’re all hills and valleys.” Condon said inconsistency has plagued the Aggies’ season all year long. “For some reason I thought we’d get it together this time,” she said. The action slowed during the last three games, which Condon said af fected the Aggies’ play. “If we play and keep the pace going like this,” Condon said snap ping her fingers, “then we have a chance. “They gave us a lot of chances. There were a lot of times we should have scored and didn’t.” Throughout the night, the Long horns gave the Aggies chances, but at other times, the Ags made their own breaks. Sherri Brinkman made a nice play in the second game, lightly tipping the ball over the net. Brinkman smiled derisively at the Longhorn players, as they twisted themselves in useless attempts to re turn the ball. Margaret Spence put the game in the hands of the Aggies with a spike, which fell in the middle of five Longhorn players with the score 7-7. Lesha Beakley then served to make it 8-7, before a Texas time out. At this point, the tide changed. Texas returned to the game exhibit ing better concentration, allowing the Aggies only five more points in the second game. “Our intensity was a little better,” Texas’ Haley said. “We were able to manipulate the (Aggie) defense to night.” During the third game, Stacey Gildner substituted for Beakley. Gildner came in thirsting for a fight and gave the Ags a quick two points. Overall, Condon said that the Ag gie setters played awful. “The two. Best hitters in the con ference (Sherri Brinkman and Che- mine Doty) were in the middle, and we set outside,” Condon said. -j/ THE SCffilETYT:. ‘ FOR ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND NEW VENTURES PRESENT: N.. irkEMviT cs’iviTrecnrac'ikici ii9C A&M, t.u., SMU & BAYLOR THURS.
