LadyAgs lose 2nd straight,
succumb to Lady Aztecs
By Brad Marquardt
Reporter
The Texas A&M volleyball
team suffered its second loss in as
many nights, as they were
pounded by the San Diego State
Lady Aztecs 15-5, 15-2, 14-16, 15-
9 Thursday in G. Rollie White
Coliseum.
The Lady Aggies were hurt by
the hard-hitting serving duo of
Jackie Mendez and Angelica
Jackson. Mendez had seven serv
ice aces and 10 kills with a .321 at
tack percentage, while Jackson
led the Aztecs with 23 kills and a
500 attack percentage.
The Lady Aggies made a good
comeback in the third game, win
ning after being down 6-10. At

something that we haven’t been
able to do all year. It showed that
we have the potential to come
back even against the good tea

Givens said he wasn’t pleased
with the outcome of the match,
but was happy with the progress
his team is making.
“We’re not as good as we’re
going to be at the end of the sea
son, but I think that we’re making
progress in a lot of different
areas. As long as we continue to
improve, that’s our goal,” Givens
said.
The Lady Aggies suffered an
other drawback when Liz Clif

blocker from Round Rock, an

team. Clifford announced her de

match with the University of
Houston.
Ag opponents still wary of tight end
By Doug Hall
Assistant Sports Editor
Rod Bernstine, Texas A&:M all-
time leading pass receiver, may have
left Aggieland for the greener pas
tures of the National Football
League, but his memory hasn’t left
this year’s A&:M opponents.
If you don’t believe that, just ask
Sylvester Morgan, A&:M’s 1987 start
ing tight end.
“Most teams are keying on our
tight end this year because of the
amount of passes Rod caught,” Mor
gan said Wednesday. “They are key
ing on us more, bringing it (the de
fense) up and not letting us get
across the middle as much.”
Indeed, going into last year’s
game against the Houston Cougars,
whom the Aggies host at Kyle Field
Saturday at 2 p.m., Bernstine al
ready had amassed 25 receptions for
263 yards. Morgan, on the other
hand, has pulled in only four passes
for 36 yards.

back but moved to the tight end po
sition during the 1985 campaign.
Taking advantage of the strong arm
of quarterback Kevin Murray,
Bernstine caught 65 passes in 1986
and was chosen by the San Diego
Chargers in last year’s draft.
Morgan realizes this year’s A&:M
team is very different from last
year’s and hopes that once the rest of
the offense gets in gear, his catches
will increase.
“The season has been up and
down,” Morgan said, “I thought
going in to the Tech game I would
catch some more passes . . . but I
couldn’t really get open.”
Morgan is not waiting for his
passes to come from one particular
Aggie quarterback. To the 6-3, 235-
pound senior from Houston Yates, a
pass is a pass, whether it comes from
Craig Stump, Lance Pavlas or Bucky
Richardson.
“It (the rotating quarterbacks)
doesn’t make that much difference
to me,” he said. “It’s still the same ca
dence and the same plays.”
Being a Houston native, Morgan
said he particularly enjoys playing
against the Houston and former
Yates’ teammates like the Cougars’
starting slotback Sloan Hood.
“Every year I get a little more
fired up for the UH game,” Morgan
said, “I know a lot of their players, so
I look forward to it a little more than
most games.”
Head Coach Jackie Sherrill, how
ever, said earlier this week that he
was not necessarily looking forward
to taking on the Cougar’s run-and-
shoot offense. Last week against
Baylor, UH completed 31 of 62
passes for 404 passing yards.
The same day the Cougar offense
was rolling up 445 yards in total of
fense in a losing effort to the Bears,
Texas Tech’s Billy Joe Tolliver was
severely rattling the A&M second
ary.
For the Aggies to be successful on
Saturday, Sherrill said the defense
must somehow pressure Houston’s
freshman quarterback Andre Ware
and also prevent the Cougars from
effectively running the draw play.
Offensively, the A&M head coach
said his team must be more produc
tive on third-down conversions.
“I’m satisfied with the system,”
Morgan said “but I’d like to see the
ball come my way a little more.”
son of Morns, the free agent the
Twins didn’t want.
Morris had a 1-0 playoff and 2-0
World Series record, all compiled in
1984 when the Tigers won the Se
ries. The loser of his last three regu
lar-season decisions, Morris, who
went eight innings allowing six hits
with three walks and six strikeouts,
wasn’t any more effective this time
out as the Twins continued their
winning ways at home
Minnesota had a 56-25 home re
cord this year, best in the majors.
They added two wins this week.
Blyleven, acknowledged as having
the best curveball in the league, was
the winner of this one, allowing
seven hits, walking one and striking
out six in his first postseason outing
since 1979 when he won one game
each in the playoffs and World Se
ries for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
NL playoff bringing out grudges
between 'big sticks/ 'track shoes'
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The
bad blood that led to a brawl be
tween managers Whitey Herzog
and Roger Craig last season is re
surfacing again this year in the
National League playoffs.
The St. Louis Cardinals and
San Francisco Giants do not like
each other — and they traded
taunts and barbs across the field
while splitting the first two
games.
“We’re definitely the intimida-
tor in this,” Giants catcher Bob
Brenly said after a workout
Thursday. “We’re swinging the
big sticks and they’ve got the
track shoes on.”
“Now, who would you rather
see in an alley?” he said. “Some
one with big sticks or someone
who runs fast?”
Game 3 was scheduled for to
night as the best-of-seven series
moved to Candlestick Park for
three games this weekend. Even
in one of the most romantic cities
in the world, there is no love lost
between these two teams — and
there was a chance of things get
ting rough.
“There have been a few inci
dents so far,” Giants right fielder
Candy Maldonado said. “It’s be
coming a little rivalry.”
Brenly helped stir a chorus of
catcalls from the dugout directed
at St. Louis shortstop Ozzie Smith
late in Game 2, when Smith let a
bases-loaded grounder skip
through his legs for a two-run
eighth-inning error that sealed
San Francisco’s 5-0 victory.
Smith, the flashy Gold Glove
fielder, led the Cardinals onto the
field for the first two games by
doing a backward somersault in
the middle of the infield.
“He thinks about his style too
much,” Brenly said. “He looked
real good making that error.”
Craig tried to downplay any
animosity but admitted he thinks
an ill will is brewing. --
Last season, the Cardinals and
Giants mixed it up at Busch Sta
dium in a bench-clearing alterca
tion. The Giants were angered
that Vince Coleman stole two
bases with a 10-2 lead and threw
at him in his next at-bat.
That triggered a full-scale fight
— and Herzog and Craig wound
up in the middle scuffling. They
were separated just when they
were about to start swinging.
“I’m not going to start any con
troversy with Whitey,” Craig said.
“We never had any problems.
Just one thing — not much.”
The Cardinals are particularly
peeved at Jeffrey Leonard, who is
the leading hitter in the series
with five hits in eight at bats, in
cluding two monstrous home
runs.
Leonard homered in a 5-3 loss
Tuesday night, after which he
loudly said the Giants were still a
better team.
