Volleyball team
hopes to improve
against Bearkats
By Doug Hall
Sports Writer
Despite the fact that Texas
A&M volleyball team is entering
its second week of play with an
impressive 7-2 record, head
coach A1 Givens is not taking to
night’s 7:30 game with the Divi
sion 2 Sam Houston State Bear
kats lightly - and with good
reason.
In last year’s season opener,
the highly regarded Aggies stum
bled, bumbled and tripped to an
embarrassing three-game defeat
at the hands of the Bearkats.
“Many of our players return
ing from last year’s squad remem
ber that loss,” said Givens, who is
in his first year at A&M. “This
year we are trying to improve on
the things we have been doing
right and to minimize our mis
takes.
“I think we handle the tran
sition game better than I ex
pected. I wasn’t sure about our
three-person passing or our abil
ity to attack from the back row.
“I’ve been pleased that the
players have responded so well.”
Defensively, Givens said he has
changed the team’s mindset by
making them more aggressive at
the net and implementing five
different defensive options.
“Defense has been our
mainstay this year,” he said.
“We’d really like to get our of
fense on track. But that has been
our own deficiency — not some
body else stopping us.”
In addition to its strong de
fense, Givens said the team’s di
versity and passing game are
strong points.
“I think we’re a lot more bal
anced than last year’s squad,” he
said. “If you look at our statistics,
we have four or five attackers
contributing instead of one or
two.
“That balance makes us hard
to play against, and when we’re
passing well, we’re almost impos
sible to stop.”
Givens also said that between
the second and third games of to
night’s match, five fans will have
the opportunity to hit three
serves each at designated targets
to win free pizzas.
“A lot of people think, “Gosh,
why can’t you get that serve in’
without understanding the skill
involved,” Givens said. “It’s not
that easy, especially to hit into a
designated area.
“This is our attempt to get
them involved in the game,” he
added.
