Rollie White Coliseum by beating a team of A&M alumni players. The alumni team, which included 1988 graduate Michelle Whitwell, enjoyed the opportunity to play this year’s squad. Whitwell said, “I thought I had played my last match here, but now I have another chance. It’s exciting.” Two-time All-American and A&M record-holder Sheri Brink- man-Reilly, who played for the Lady Aggies from 1982-’85, slated the match as youth vs. experience. Youth needed no substitution in this match as this year’s squad over came the alumni 15-11, 15 1 6. Coach A1 Givens thought the game gave his team some good pre season experience as intended. “We wanted sort of a dress-re hearsal to get some chemistry going on the team,” he said. He added that the Lady Aggies looked a little nervous in the first game hut relaxed in the second. Overall, Givens and the former players were optimistic about the 1988 squad. “I think we’ll be be real good,” Givens said. “We’re picking up right where we left off last season.” Whit- well said. Whitwell said, “It can only get bet ter from last year. They have a lot of people returning. Amy Cannings will develop into a real good player.” Cumings is a sophomore who vvalked-on last year and became a starter early in the season. Chris Zogata, a player f rom 1983- 86 and now an assistant volleyball coach at Clear Creek High School, was impressed with the Lady Aggies’ talent. “They looked a lot better than l thought they would, but they still have some kinks to iron out," she said. Lesha Beakley, a Lady Ag from 1982-85 and the shortest memberof either side at 5-5, led the alumni team with tour kills and a .571 kill percentage. She also had live digs. Whitwell and Zogata both had three kills. For the Lady Aggies, senior Vi vian Viera led with seven kills. Cumings led in kill percentageat .714.
