No. 19 Ags sweep Cougars A&M volleyball team improves to 6-2 in SWC By CHAREAN W ILLIAMS Assistant Sports Editor HOUSTON — While the ball boys were mopping up the wet spots on the Jeppesen Field House floor, the Texas A&M volleyball team did a good janitor imitation of its own on the Houston Cougars. The No. 19 Aggies mopped up the Cougars 15-3, 15-11, 15-9, Wednesday night to improve their overall record to 23-6 and 6-2 in the Southwest Conference. “They (the Aggies) played very well,” A&M Coach Terry Condon said. “Considering it was so hot, we did really well. The heat slows the game down and can really hurt a team. “We needed this one. We can't af ford another loss. They know they screwed up a couple times this year, but they’ve got a good attitude. It’s just one game at a time now.” In the unairconditioned gymna sium, it took UH a while to heat up, and then it overheated. The Cougars, who saw their re cord fall to 16-17 and 4-3 in the SWC, managed every conceivable Chris Zogata mistake in the opening game of the match. With A&M leading 7-3, UH com mitted eight straight errors to hand the Aggies that game easily. In fact, Houston setter Elshelle Dobson just about hanged herself in the net and outside hitter Angela Le wis hit one ball six rows into the stands. About the only Cougar who seemed to know the dimensions of the court was Lewis, who had a hit ting percentage of .500 and 16 kills. “Angela Lewis was phenomenal,” Condon said. “When somebody is that hot, you let them go. It’s kind of like in basketball when you’ve got a shooter getting 50 points. Angela and (A&M's) Sherri Brinkman neu tralized each other, You have to let them go and count on the other five players.” The Aggies counted on setter Chris Zogata the most. “She's (Zogata) played well (at times) this season,” Condon said. “But this is probably her best match. Site was in the match the whole lime. She gave us good setting, good de fense and good blocking.” Zogata, who hit .250 with five kills and 13 digs, said she was worried during the pre-match warm-ups. “I had a pretty good match,” Zo gata said. “It felt teal good. I was kind of worried bacause I didn’t have a good warm-up. My sets were real tight and not very good.” The rest of the Aggies hit on all cylinders for most of the night. A&M’s Lesha Beakley had a set- A&M Spikers’ Remaining Games Saturday, Nov. 16 • Louisville — G. Roilie White (3 p.m.) Monday, Now IS • Baylor — G.

Freshman Clieii Steensma hit .381 with 1 1 kills. Middle blocker Marga ret Spence had nine kills and a .375 and Brinkman hit .364 with 17 kills. “This group is starting to gel,” Condon said. “Fltey’re playing so well together. We'll stay with this group. Margaret played a lot better in the middle. Cheri Steensma played very well.” Former UT coach sues for defamation Associated Press AUSTIN — Abe Lemons, the col orful former Texas basketball coach, claims in a lawsuit against the UT- Austin athletic director that he was allegedly defamed by statements during a summer alumni meeting. The suit was filed T uesday in Tra vis County district court against U I s DeLoss Dodds by C. Robert Dorsett, attorney for Lemons. T he lawsuit alleges that Dodds made “defamatory statements” about Lemons on July 31 while ad dressing a Fort Worth meeting of the University of Texas Fx-Students Association. Dodds claimed Lemons was “fired from his position as head basketball coach at the University of Texas be cause of NCAA problems,” accord ing to the suit. University officials fired Lemons on March 10, just after the season ended. The suit contends the “reputation and professional standing of (Lem ons) have been greatly harmed as these remarks suggest that (Lemons) was guilty of violations of NCAA regulations and as such is some form of a cheater.” Lemons, now the head basketball coach at Oklahoma City University, could not he reached for comment by T he Associated Press on Wednes day. “We have not ascertained the damage at this point,” Dorsett said. Dodds denied that he made the statement about Lemons. Dodds said he knew of the suit, “a couple of weeks ago.” But he noted he has not seen a copy of Lemons’ suit and could not comment on it.
