Rollie White Coliseum. Kentucky won by scores of 15-4, 18-16 and 15-12. Thompson, a senior who ranks among the national leaders in kills average per game, led the Wildcats in hitting percentage with a mark of .516 and added 11 digs as Kentucky ended a four-game A&M winnings- treak. Kentucky moved to 16-3 on the year with the victory while the Lady Aggies fell to 12-7. Senior outside attacker Cheri Steensma led A&M with 13 kills. Vi vian Viera added nine kills and Krista Hierholtzer chipped in nine more while leading both teams in hitting percentage with a .565 per centage. A&M Head Coach A1 Givins said the Lady Aggies were intimidated by the Wildcats in the match’s first game and hurt themselves in the sec ond game by committing several serving errors. “You can’t make eight service er rors and expect to win the game,” Givins said. “If we win that one, who knows what happens.” Kentucky took the first game by scoring the final 13 points of the game after A&M had taken a 4-2 lead behind the serve of Hierholtzer, a sophomore setter. A&M hit a dis mal .069 in the opening game while the Wildcats hit .320 in their best hit ting game of the match. The second game saw A&M take an early 6-3 lead before settling in for a close battle. A&M served for the game with leads of 14-13 and 16- 15 before being victimized both times by crucial service errors. Givins thought the Lady Aggies earned Kentucky’s repect by re bounding in game two after the poor start. “We played at a higher level in the second game,” Givins said. “In the second and third games, we blocked and hit better. In the second game they (Kentucky) knew they were in a match.” A&M hit .361 in the second game. The final game of the match was also a tight one. A&M held leads of 10-8 and 11-10 before Kentucky bat tled back to win 15-12 on a match ending spike by senior middle blocker Lisa Bockovoy. Bokovoy led Kentucky with 14 digs and was second on the team with 10 kills. Junior setter Yvonne Van Brandtled A&M with 16 digs while Viera added 10. Outside attacker Amy Cumings totalled nine digs for the match. The Lady Aggies were coming off of a Southwest Conference win over Baylor on Friday night which ran A&M’s SWC record to 2-1. “We got beat by a better team to night,” ne said. “We’re two and one in the conference and we’ve got Rice coming up this Friday. At least this wasn’t a conference game.” The Rice game is scheduled for a 7:30 start Friday night at G. Rollie White Coliseum. If (her: lother , and leftafti :eami ivens The )ung, A&M’s Cheri Steensma g<x*s up for a spike against two Kentucky defend ers. The Lady Aggies lost the match in three games. A&M netters take second in Rolex meet Hershiser (Continued from page 7) Craig Whitteker and Gustavo Espi nosa took second place in doubles play to highlight the Texas A&M men’s tennis team at the Southwest Louisiana-Rolex Invitational Tournament in Lafayette, La. Whitteker and Espinosa, unseeded in the tournament, fell to Steven and Stuart Jung 3-6, 6-7 (7-5), 7-5 in the final. The Jung brothers, from the University of Nebraska, were the No. 1 seed in the toumement. eighth inning, despite working on three days’ rest since shutting out the New York Mets in Game 7 of the National League playoffs by the same 6-0 score. The Athletics, the second-highest scoring team in the majors this year, saw their scoreless inning streak reach 16 1-3 as they managed to get just six balls out of the infield. Hershiser’s pinpoint pitches were sharper than those by his parents, who threw out the ceremonial first balls. Hershiser, who got only 11 hits this year and batted a career-low .129, also swung the meanest bat. His one-out sin gle to center field in the third inning touched off a five-run outburst, capped by Marshall’s home run. Hershiser’s hit-and-run double to right in the fourth made it 6-0 and finished Storm Davis. He doubled to left field in the sixth, matching his season total for two-base hits. Davis, who had allowed just three earned runs in 17 1-3 previous posteason innings with Baltimore and Oakland, ran into Los Angeles’ sudden impactraj in the third. « w .

Aggies The Aggie team saved three match points when down 5-4 in the third set be hind Whitteker’s serve, then saved two more on Espinosa’s serve before losing. “They played an unbelievable match,” A&M Assistant Coach Tim Drain said. (Continued from page 7) The Jungs defeated the No. 1 A&M doubles team, Shaun O’Donovan and Steve Kennedy, in the semifinals 6-4, 7- 6. Espinosa also reached the final game of the consolation singles bracket, where he lost to Jesco Van Heintze of the Uni versity of South Alabama 4-6, 6-1, 6-1. at the start of the third quarter. They made it to the Baylor 16-yard line before failing on a fourth-down run attempt. Two drives later, A&M was deter mined to score a touchdown as they tried and succeeded on two more fourth-down conversions, both by Wilson. On the 12th play of the 64-yard drive, Wilson shot through the right side and headed up the sideline for a 30-yard touchdown run. He had 92-yards in the game. Sherrill said the Aggies chose to go for the first down on fourth down attempts because the team has missed all four field goals attempted this year. Scott Slater attempted and missed one field goal in the game. The Aggies got the ball again when defensive back Alex Morris recovered a fumble at the end of a 29-yard pass from Goebel to David Bell at the 8:45 mark of the final period. Richardson got the drive moving with a 39-yard scamper on an option to the right. It was slow and steady the rest of the way until Richardson exploded around the right comer for a 15-yard TD run. Baylor got the ball back«;:r. . L? 116 0 minutes on the clock and passed to midfield. But freshman deisB back Kevin Smith pulled downairw m Goebel pass and returned it 52-yi fore going out of bounds at the 5s] yard line.
