The Aggies travel to Lubbock

fully they will leave their mark there
this year. The Aggies lead the series
against Tech 27-21-1, which isn't
that great of a margin.
A&M hasn't succeeded in de
feating Tech in Lubbock since Spike
Dykes became head coach four
years ago.
Entering his fifth season with
Tech, Dykes has a personality as
colorful as his name. He turned the
Raider football system around four
years ago, and has become a bona
fide West Texas celebrity in a short
matter of time.
Besides making a name for him
self in his head coaching position, he
is a man who is infamous for his
travels. That is - travels by car. He
has gained his notoriety by means of
driving all over the Panhandle and
West Texas promoting his Texas
Tech football program.
He has been on the road his en

Emerging from the crowd
Teichelman part of young, talented defensive line
By Steve O'Brien
The Battalion
Running with a tough crowd makes
it hard to find your place, but Lance Te
ichelman may have found a position.
A sophomore from Westwood High
School in Austin, Teichelman is A&M's
starting defensive end, but it's not
something he takes for granted.
"Coming in the season I was really
worried if I was going to get to play
very much," Teichelman said. "Every
body can play here on our defensive
line. Everybody is as good as the next
person."
In the Aggies' 34-7 victory over
Southwestern Louisiana, Teichelman
had a sack and six tackles, three of
which were unassisted.
"I felt good (in the game)," he said.
"I think we needed to come together as
a whole defensive unit, and that's what
we did. It really wasn't my perfor
mance. It was the whole team's perfor
mance."
And when the Aggies travel to Lub
bock this weekend to play Texas Tech,
the defensive unit gets its first true test
of the season. A&M hasn't won in Lub
bock since 1985.
"We haven't had much luck
(against Tech), but we're looking to
come in and really stick it to them," Te
ichelman said. "We're not going to put
our fists down for anything."
Teichelman is part of defensive line
that head coach R.C. Slocum says is the
best A&M has had in long time.
"Lance has been playing well,"
Slocum said. "He's the type of guy
who will give fanatical effort during the
game. He's the one flying over the pile
and is in on every play. Those guys can
usually play."
The list of talented A&M defensive
linemen is a long one.
Freshman Sam Adams, one of the
top rated high school players in the
country last year, has seen playing time
in A&M's first three games. Sopho
mores Pat Henry, Kefa Chatham and
Eric England round out the talented
group of young defensive lineman for
A&M. Mark Wheeler is the lone senior.
But from the crowd, the 6-4 240
pound Teichelman has emerged a
starter, keying a defense that has held
A&M's three opponents to a total of 49
points. But with injuries to Wheeler
and Henry, Teichelman has been called
on by coaches to play the noseguard
position.
Teichelman doesn't mind playing
two positions but he only practices at
defensive end. The change makes
learnig the defense more difficult.
"There's a lot of difference (playing
the two positions)," he said. "It's tough
moving from end to noseguard in the
middle of the game. It would be easier
if you practiced all week and then
played noseguard."
Teichelman knows that hard work
is necessary for him to keep his starting
position.
"I worked hard this summer," he
said. "But everybody's good. It's just
that I got the opportunity to start."
Henry, the Aggies' starting nose
guard, praised Teichelman for his hard
work.
"Lance is a great guy," Henry said.
"He's one of those Howie Long, Lyle
Alzado, Mark Gastineau types. He's

The Lady Ag volleyball team opens conference play tonight at home at 7p.m. against Rice.
The Battalion News Services
The Lady Aggie volleyball team
opens Southwest Conference play
tonight against the Rice Owls at 7 p. m.
in G. Rollie White Coliseum.
Rice (6-10) will also open its confer
ence season tonight against an A&M
(10-7) team that's won six of its last
seven matches.
The Aggies finished second in the
Southwest Texas State Bobcat Classic
last weekend in San Marcos.
Outside attacker Elizabeth Edmis-
ton and teammate Genny Wood were
named to the All-Tournament team
last weekend.
A&M head volleyball coach Al
Givens said the Aggies are looking for
ward to hosting their first conference
game on their homecourt.
"This is like a new season for us,"
Givens said. "We are excited to be
opening our conference season at
home.
"We expect Rice to be very compet
itive because they always play tough."
It should be a good matchup."
The Owls will be playing without
their leading hitter Tammy Trownsell
due to a nagging back injury. She was
hitting .234 and averaging 1.3 blocks
per game.
Rice and A&M have tied the last
two seasons for the fourth place in the
SWC standings. A&M holds a 22-4
margin over the Owls, but the Owls
have defeated the Aggies the last two
times the teams met.
Rice and A&M have faced three of
the same opponents so far this season.
Both teams downed the University of
Texas-San Antonio in three games and
also fell to Southwest Texas State.
Sheila Morgan has been cleared to
play for the Aggies after being having
knee surgery following an injury in
curred in A&M's match against North
Texas on Sept. 5. Morgan is a 6-2 mid
dle blocker and outside attacker.
