Lady Aggies lose
to No. 9 Wildcats
By Doug Walker
Assistant Sports Editor
Ninth-ranked Kentucky, led by 18
kills from outside hitter Kim
Thompson, took advantage of poor
serving and blocking by Texas A&M
to sweep the Lady Aggies in volley
ball action Saturday night at G.
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.

(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

back Kevin Smith pulled downairw m
