The Lady Aggies defeated Lamar University Thursday in a long atch, 6-15, 15-12, 12-15, 15-9, 15- Elizabeth Edmiston and Kim itchell came on strong to bring the ggies back from a two-to-one game ficit. Edmiston posted 17 kills and itchell added eight more to boost A&M cause. Amy Cumings isted 15 kills in the match. Coach A1 Givens said the team was icky to win despite inconsistencies the offense. “We just missed the job at the line night,” Givens said of Thursday’s atch. “We’re still very fortunate to Jin, when we had to play well we found a means to pull it out.’’ Givens praised the efforts of seve- il players and said he was happy co- ptain Sheri Hermesmeyer was ickon the court since knee surgery ist August. Hermesmeyer’s pres- iceas well as her 3 kills helped the ggie effort. Krista Hierholzer was moved to ie setter position when Genny 'ood became ill during the match, ierholzer had a career-high 51 as- itson the night. The Lady Aggies traveled to Ba ton Rouge Friday to play in the Ti ger Classic and were defeated by No. 10 Penn State in the opening round of the tournament, 15-4, 15-8, 15-8. Penn State jumped out to a 7-1 lead in the first game and never looked back. In the second game, the Aggies held an early lead but the Nittany Li ons ran off six consecutive points and then finished the game with a kill, a block and a service ace. lose to within three points before Penn State scored four straight points of their own to win the game and the match. Saturday wasn’t any better as the Lady Aggies faced No. 17 Louisiana State and Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo. A&M fell to LSU 15-4, 15-2, 15-10 before being handed their ninth loss of the season by Cal Poly, 15-13, 15- 12, 15-13. The Lady Tigers wasted no time with the Lady Aggies as they jumped out to a 9-0 lead in the first game. A&M fought back with their only four points, but LSU went on to win. The Lady Aggies were almost shut out in the second game when the Lady Tigers ran off 14 points to A&M’s two. The Aggies played tougher in the last game, holding LSU to a 10-9 lead before the Tigers finished the match. iggies Continued from page 9 irk. victimizit bite for look any more focused after their t-half tun)B ev ‘ 0US week’s 63-14 win over auandClar udwestern Louisiana.

They were getting after us. “This is the first time we’ve been 3-0 at A&M since I’ve been here, and we’d like to make it 4-0. We won’t have any problem getting focused for next week." Lewis rushed for his third consec utive 100-yard game of the season. He finished with 132 yards on 26 carries, but it was his 25th carry — a five-yard run up the middle in the third quarter — that proved to be his biggest. Lewis moved ahead of Curtis Dickey (1976-79) to become A&M's all-time leading rusher. He needs 740 yards in A&M’s remaining nine regular season games to move past SMU’s Eric Dickerson (1979-82) to become the SWC’s career leader. “I’m proud for Darren,” Slocum said. “When you look at the school being over 100 years old, and with all the great backs we’ve had here, being the all-time leading rusher is a great accomplishment.” Last week’s record-setting offen sive output (774 yards against USL was a school record) and Saturday’s school rushing mark by Lewis has provided the Aggies with a lot to cel ebrate, but Pavlas said the team isn’t ready to sit back and coast through the season quite yet. “We’re excited, but we’re taking it one week at a time,” Pavlas said. “LSU is going to be a tough oppo nent for us. It’s a big rivalry, so I don’t think we ll have any problems getting up for them. I know they won’t have any trouble getting up for us.” minute of the game. McWilliams said the game was a learning experience for Texas. “We’ll be a lot better football team because of tonight’s game,” McWil liams said. “We just didn’t put them away when we had the chance.” UT defensive end Shane Dronett was not so willing to take the game as well. “When you get a good opponent like that down, you need to kick ’em,” Dronett said. “We didn’t do that. I think we were the better team. I think we outplayed them.” Dronett said the team will have to put this game behind them and not get down on themselves. “We’ve just got to kick this one out the door and start from scratch,” he said. “We’ve got nine games left and we plan on winning them.” Colorado head coach Bill McCart ney credited his team’s success on their ability to get Hemingway in volved and have Hagan pass the ball effectively. “If we can get our fullback and our passing game going we can have a great offense,” McCartney said. “We came together and said we have to do what we do best. “The guys reached real deep and were not going to be denied.” The Buffaloes, 2-1-1, had much to prove after last week’s heartbreak ing loss to Illinois. “We’ve been accused of being a talented team without motivation,” McCartney said. “We’ve been ac cused of tinkering. All those things hurt, but it brought us together as a team.” The Longhorns showed vast im provement over last year’s perfor mance when they lost to Colorado 27-6 en route to a 5-6 season. Texas’ loss brings their home re cord over the last nine games to 2-7. The Longhorns have three more big games at Memorial Stadium this year with Arkansas, Houston and Texas A&M.
