merely the results ot agressive
play.
A&M sophomore Karen
Richards set a personal record in
the match by recording 24 kills,
and senior Elizabeth Edminston
hammered down 23 kills on her
own.
After the match, Richards, a
sophomore from Arlington, did
not realize she had set a personal
best in kills, but she said the pres
ence of Edminston helped her to
play a solid game.
"They knew that Elizabeth is
our top hitter," Richards said.
"After a while, they started key
ing on her and they left me open."
Last year, Richards was ranked
second on the team and ninth in
the Southwest Conference with a
.254 hitting percentage. Against
California, she finished with a hit
ting percentage of .320.
This season, the Lady Aggies

have gotten off to a solid start
and, according to Richards, the
early success is a result of team
unity.
"Our team is pulling together
this season," Richards said.
"We've been playing together for
a while, so we're really starting to
trust each other."
This Friday, the Lady Aggies
will try to get back on the win

On Saturday, A&M will face-

the conclusion is declared tourna

INDIANAPOLIS — Warren Moon found an in-
int cure for a wayward passing arm.
Houston's quarterback, who hurled five intercep
ts a week earlier, passed for 361 yards and two
rchdowns Sunday as the Oilers beat the Indi-
tiapolis Colts 20-10.
"Man, I'm satisfied. I can tell you that,'' said
loon, who completed 29 of 39 passes, including 69
Irds to Lorenzo White for a touchdown in the first
larter and 2 yards to Haywood Jeffires for another
bre in the third period.
the "It was a tough week for me, a tough week for
y ou .S 0 f family," Moon said. "I went into this game with
ters 15 , ot of butterflies, believe me."

Colts coach Ted Marchibroda said Moon con-

"He hit the short passes and put them in scoring
position five of the six possessions they had,"
Marchibroda said. "Overall, Houston is a good
team and they controlled the game. They really did.
We never made a big play all day. To win, you have
to make the big plays, and they made them when
they had to."
White finished with four receptions for a career-
high 106 yards, and Moon topped 300 passing yards
for the 33rd time.
The Colts, who waived Mark Herrmann last
week, a day after he led them to their first season
opening victory in nine years, had to use Tupa at
quarterback when starter Jack Trudeau bruised his
back on the first play of the second period.
Trudeau, who returned to the sideline in the sec
ond half but did not play, was to be hospitalized
overnight and treated with ice. But he said the
bruise aid not appear to be serious.
"His helmet hit me right in the back," Trudeau
said of the tackle by linebacker A1 Smith. "It is a
deep bruise in the middle of my back. As soon as the
spasms go away, I should be fine."
Rookie defensive back Ashley Ambrose wasn't as
fortunate. He broke his right ankle and could be out
six-to-eight weeks.
"When Jack went out, we couldn't do anything,"
Marchibroda said. "We couldn't get anything start
ed."
A 37-yard field goal by Biasucci on the play after
Trudeau's injury cut Houston's lead to 7-3. But
Tupa was sacked twice and Indianapolis netted mi
nus-16 yards on its next two possessions before half
time.
Moon, meanwhile, also was sacked twice, but
avoided the interceptions that hurt him in the Oilers'
loss to Pittsburgh a week earlier. The Colts took
away the Houston running game, and Moon com
pleted 16 of 24 passes for 226 yards in the first half
alone.

NY, 34-28
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
EAST RUTHERFORD,
N.J. - The 1992 Dallas Cow
boys are for real, and they
had to survive a real scare
from the New York Giants to
prove it.
Troy Aikman threw for
two touchdowns, Emmitt
Smith ran for one and Dal
las' special teams scored one
and set up a field goal Sun
day as the Cowboys built a
34-0 lead and then held on
for a 34-28 win over the Gi
ants.
"I'mjust glad to be out of
here," Smith said after the
Cowboys got off to their first
2-0 start since 1986 and won
their seventh straight regu
lar-season game. "The way
we were playing at the end,
it looked like they were go
ing to come back and win,
"When we jumped out to
such a big lead, we kept say
ing: "This is not supposed to
be happening, this is the Gi
ants/ he added.
The Giants didn't do any
thing in the physical sense
until after Aikman hit
Michael Irvin on a 27-yard
TD pass to put Dallas ahead
by 34 points just 90 seconds
into the third quarter.
"We didn't show up for
the first two quarters, offen
sively, defensively or on spe
cial teams," Giants guard
William Roberts said.
"We've got to play four
quarters. Until we do, we'll
just keep digging ourselves a
hole and eventually suffo
cate."
The Cowboys, who were
1-15 just three years ago,
nearly let the Giants (0-2)
out or the hole.
New York, which had not
scored more than 24 points
in Ray Handley's first 17
games as coach and had
been limited to 53 first-half
yards, scored on four
straight possessions, draw
ing within six points in one
of the best comebacks in
NEL history.
The defense finally start
ed dictating the pace and
Phil Simms suddenly started
finding his receivers, taking
New York on scoring drives
of 80, 80, 62 and 55 yards.
A 5-yard run by Rodney
Hampton got New York on
the scoreboard. Simms fol
lowed with touchdown
passes of 1 yard to Jarrod
Bunch, 6 to Stephen Baker
and 2 to Howard Cross, the
last one bringing New York
within 34-28 with 6:52 to
play. It took New York just
over 17 minutes to score 28
points.
When Michael Irvin
dropped a third-down pass
on Dallas' next series, New
York got the ball at its 19.
However, the Giants
couldn't get a first down and
punted. The big play was a
third-and-9 from the New
York 20, when Dave Meggett
was stopped for no gain by
Bill Bates after catching a
short pass from Simms.
"We were trying to create
a situation where we get him
the ball and block everybody
in the middle," Simms said.
"We guessed wrong. We
thought they'd drop back in
that situation."
"They have been running
that play and getting
Meggett open," Bates said.
"My job was to stay with
Meggett and I did."
