Ags add victim
No. 32 to tally
By CHAREAN WILLIAMS
Sports Writer
Friday night, Pepperdine gave the
Texas A&M volleyball team a run
for their money. In the end, how
ever, the Pepperdine Waves were
left holding the bag —just like the
31 victims before them.
Playing the California brand of
volleyball they are famous for, the
Wave struck quickly taking a 3-0 lead
in the first game.
But, when sophomore setter Chris
Zogota served five straight points to
give the Ags a 6-3 lead, the Wave saw
its chance slip away.
The No. 14 ranked Aggie spikers
easily defeated the No. 20 Pepper
dine Wave 15-10, 15-1 1 and 15-8 in
front of 1,100 at G. Rollie White Col-
iseu m.
A&M Head Coach Terry Condon
was pleased with the Ags’ perfor
mance, which raised their season re
cord to 32-3.
“We passed well,” Condon said.
“Sherri (Brinkman) and most of us
blocked well and our defense was
good. We just get caught in a couple
of situations where we can’t put the
ball away.”
Pepperdine (23-12) was missing
two important variables Friday
night: their tallest player and their
serving game.
Thursday night, in a loss to Hous
ton, Pepperdine’s 6-foot-1 middle
blocker Debbie Spangler dislocated
her shoulder, forcing the Wave to al
ter their lineup.
“That’s the first time we’ve gone
with that lineup,” Pepperdine’ Head
Coach Nina Matthies said. “We’re a
real small group and with this lineup
we’re just not as strong as we were. I
think when we’re healthy, we’re
evenly matched with A&M.”
Condon agreed that Spangler’s
absence hurt the Wave.
“If they were all healthy, it would
have been a real good match,” Con
don said. “Pepperdine played good
defense. They play a lot like Texas
— they’re that caliber of team, and
that’s what we (A&M) need to play.”
Pepperdine must have also left
their serving game in Houston. The
Wave committed 12 serving errors
for the match.
“I think the serving errors are due
to the fact that the kids are trying to
push too hard,” Matthies said.
The Ags said they were expecting
a much tougher match.
“They were pretty good,” A&M
middle blocker Sherri Brinkman
said. “When we heard Houston beat
them we thought ‘fun time’.”
“I expected them to be a little bit
better than they were,” A&M outside
attacker Margaret Spence said.
The Ags handled the hard spikes
of the Wave, especially those of Pep
perdine outside hitter Sue McDon
ald, with ease.
“Without a pass, you can’t run a
play,” Brinkman said. “We worked
well off of each other and had fun,
so we played well.”
Aggie middle blocker Chemine
Doty, among others, passed well.
“I don’t know what it was,” Doty
said. “I just relaxed. I passed and
didn’t worry about it. I think the past
week’s practices helped a lot.”
The Ags did run into a few prob
lems in the middle of the second
game.
“We made a couple of bad pas
ses,” Condon said. “We started to
tense up and when we do that we
tend to make a few more mistakes.
They (A&M) came out of it, which is
nice to see. A team like Pepperdine
can come up and beat you.”
“We don’t like the little ruts we get
into,” Spence said. “It gets paceless.”
Tonight in the final home game,
the Ags take on Texas Tech at G.
Rollie White Coliseum at 7:30 p.m.
The Red Raiders played the Ags
tough in Lubbock on Oct. 21 and
even though the Ags won, they feel
they have something to prove to
Tech.
“We need to show them some
things,” Doty said. “They’ve made
some comments that we’re not a very
good team. We need a good strong
win against them.”
“We’re ready now,” Brinkman
said. “It’s just like we went in there
and thought they weren’t any good.”
A&M got a big help from Hous
ton Wednesday night when the
Coogs upset No. 8 Texas. That put
the Ags in the conference lead and
makes the Nov. 14 showdown at
Texas a Southwest Conference title
match.
“Houston was a nice help,” Con
don said. “We just can’t let Texas
Tech do to us what Houston did to
Texas.”
Frogs vs. Horns:
magic at its best
United Press International
The Texas Longhorns reached
into their magic hat Saturday and
found die rabbit had escaped. It had
been replaced by turnovers and
heartbreak.
For the TCU Horned Frogs, how
ever, the magic remains. The Frogs’
newly found wizardry will probably
never grow old on their victory-
starved fans.
In Austin there were intercep
tions, fumbles and a shocking final
score. In Fort Worth there was an
other overwhelming performance
by TCU tailback Kenneth Davis.
It all added up to the fact that
TCU, a team that averaged just 1.5
wins per year during the last decade,
is now at the summit of the South
west Conference mountain.
TCU’s lead is just a half game
over Texas (The Frogs owning a 5-1
SWC record to the Longhorns’ 4-1),
but considering the way the confer
ence race has been going, TCU must
now be considered the team to beat.
Doesn’t that sound strange?
The long-awaited Texas-TCU
matchup becomes reality next Satur
day in Fort Worth. The winner will
win the SWC title and a berth in the
Cotton Bowl, if it can keep an unble
mished record for the remainder of
the season.
“This (the Texas game) is the one
we’ve been waiting for,” said Davis,
who scored three touchdowns and
gained 203 yards in TCU’s 27-16
comeback win over Texas Tech Sat
urday.
“TCU deserves this type of game.
It’s been a long time since they’ve
had a team with a chance to go to the
Cotton Bowl (the 1958 version of the
Frogs was the last bunch to make the
trip). It will be the biggest game of
my life.”
It will be a pretty big game for
Texas, too, which will be trying to re
gain its reputation as the conference
king. After four straight weekends
in which the Longhorns had to sur
vive last-minute scares, their good
fortune ran out against the Houston
Cougars.
A school record nine turnovers,
including five interceptions from the
arm of Todd Dodge, were enough to
do in the Longhorns, 29-15.
“The most shocking thing about
that score is that it wasn’t larger,”
Texas coach Fred Akers said. “It
makes next week bigger. But each
week now is big.
“We lost whatever extra room we
had. We are still right in the thick of
the race, though, and we are not los
ing sight of that fact.”
While Texas and TCU were going
about setting up their showdown in
various ways, SMU and Arkansas
stayed on the noteworthy record
track.
The Mustangs continued to have
first-quarter problems, failing to
score in the opening period for the
fourth week in a row, but got things
together in time to down Rice, 31-
17. And Arkansas, with some gifts
from Baylor late in the game, won a
defensive struggle against the Bears,
14-9.
SMU, Arkansas and Houston all
have two conference losses and,
given the right set of circumstances,
could wind up sharing the SWC
crown.
If TCU wins next Saturday all the
Frogs have to do to make it to Dallas
on Jan. 1 is defeat Texas A&M the
following weekend.
If Texas wins, the Longhorns still
must down Baylor and Texas A&M.
With all the setbacks among top
10 teams last week, TCU figures to
move up from its No. 14 spot.
“I don’t care what the polls say or
anything else,” TCU coach Jim
Wacker said. “We ought to go into
the game even at least. We have ev
ery chance to win it. All the chips are
on the table now for next week and
that’s just what we wanted. We’ve
done the impossible week after week
this season.”
Davis has become the first runner
in SWC history to have three 200-
yard rushing games in a single sea
son. Heisman Trophy winner Earl
Campbell was the only other one to
have two. Davis has touchdown runs
this season of 59, 51, 82, 59, 60, 57
and 75 yards.
While Texas (6-1-1) and TCU (8-
1) go at each other next week, the
rest of the SWC schedule will have
SMU (6-2) traveling to Texas Tech
(4-5), Arkansas (6-2-1) at home
against Texas A&M (4-4) and Baylor
(3-6) visiting Rice (1-8).
