Texas A&M's Lady Aggie vol
leyball team will continue their ar
duous road trip tonight as they
travel to Florida to take on the
lOth-ranked Lady Gators.
Florida is 9-1 with their lone
loss coming at the hands of top-
ranked defending national cham
pion UCLA. The Lady Gators
have dispatched all other foes in
three-game matches.
A&M (8-3, 1-1) and Florida
have met on two prior occasions
with the Lady Gators being victo
rious on both occasions.
After wrestling with the
Gators, A&M's trip gets only
slightly easier as they have to
travel upstate to Tallahassee to
take on the Florida State Lady
Seminoles.
Florida State is currently 8-2
going into tonight's match with
the University of Houston.
The Lady Seminoles' only two
losses have come against Florida
and Minnesota, and like the Lady
Gators, all eight of their wins have
been three-game affairs.
A&M leads the all-time Florida
State series, 3-2, but the Lady
Seminoles defeated the Lady Ag
gies in College Station last season.
Texas A&M is coming off its
first loss since sweeping the
A&M-Holiday Inn Invitational
this past weekend, after dropping
a four-game conference match to
Texas Tech in Lubbock on
Wednesday.
The Lady Aggies hit just .063 in
the 15-13, 7-15, 10-15, 10-15 loss to
the 15th-ranked Red Raiders.
Lady Aggie head coach A1
Givens stressed the importance of
performing well in this weekend's
games.
"This will be a true test of how
good we are," Givens said. "We
have to go 1-2 this week, and if we
go 2-1, then it will have been a
very productive road swing."
For the Lady Gators, senior
outside hitter Gudula Staub is
leading the team with a .378 hit
ting percentage and an average of
5.44 kills per game.
The Lady Seminoles are
junior middle blocker Vicki
who has a .313 hitting pei
Sophomore outside hitler
Ramos averages a team
kills per game.
The Lady Aggies return
on Oct. 2 when they re!
Southwest Conference play
match against Rice.

Despite any sadness Dean
might have, the Sangalangs are
glad to make the transition to the
college level, where the burden of
success placed on their shoulders
is considerably lighter.
"Not having the pressure of al
ways being the top runner is
nice," Belle said. "The pressure's
off of you, and you don't always
have to do so much.
"We were pretty much the only
long distance runners in high
school."
A key factor in the trio's new,
relaxed atmosphere is the laid-
back approach used by A&M
head track coach Ted Nelson and
cross country boss Ed
Marcinkiewicz. The Sangalangs
are laboring under more than
doubldThe amount of weekly
mileage than they were used to at
the prep level, but the benefits of
having two understanding coach
es outweigh the fatigue.
"When we were in high school,
we ran about 25 miles a week at
the most," April said. "It (more
mileage) is going to help us."
"They all have really big
hearts," Nelson said. "They will
compete."
The competition has already
started as the Aggies have gone
through one intrasquad cross
country meet, as well as the five-
team Baylor Invitational. That lat
ter race provided the triplets with
an introduction to the type of
challenge they will be facing the
next four years, even though it
was not a complete departure
from they are used to.
"We only had to run two miles,
which was what we ran in high
school," Cecile said. "The only
difference was I was running
against college people.
"It felt like high school."
"In high school, you know
everybody," April said. "In col
lege, it's like 'Who is this person?'
I guess after a while you get used
to it."
While they grow accustomed to
their new surroundings. Nelson
said that the time for the San
galangs to learn under fire is now.
"At the present time, those
three young ladies, one sopho
more and another freshman are
our top distance runners," he said.
"They're very outgoing young
ladies. They've got some leader
ship qualities. That lends a lot to
the team."
Nelson admires the fortitude of
the Sangalangs but, as one might
expect, he is running into the typi
cal problems of trying to tell the
three apart. Efforts have been
made by the sisters to make things
easier fo» their coaches. But Nel
son said that a couple of trips to
the hair stylist have not brought
about instant familiarity.
"It's a little confusing," he said
of trying to tell the Sangalangs
apart, " but they really did us a fa
vor in that all three of them had
their hair long and put it up the
same way in high school, but two
of them have their hair cut differ
ently now.
"There are some characteristics,
when you're around them, that
distinguishes them, but they're
not bi^. We still get them con-
aved,
reside
fused.'

Houston reacts to the large
crowd which is expected, if their
offense can handle the pressure
and if the showing last Saturday
by the defense against Illinois
was an apparition.
How will the Houston offense
react to over 100,000 crazy
Wolverines if they can not han
dle 70,000 screaming maniacs at
Kyle Field.
Past Cougar quarterbacks like
Andre Ware and David Klingler
can attest to that when they
played A&M. For Aggie fans,
that will be something to watch.
The main tie-in to Michigan
and Texas A&M is Greg Matti-
son. Mattison is a former A&M
defensive coach who now holds
a similar position with the
Wolverines. He should be able
to offer some insight on how to
stop the Run & Shoot.
Coincidentally, Michigan has
switched this year to the blitzing
and attacking defense A&M has
successfully employed for eons.
So why watch the cocky
Cougars?
Houston possesses a serious
threat to handing A&M a confer
ence loss. If the Coogs give
Michigan a run for their money,
Jenkins' ego will expand and his
team could come rolling into
conference play.
That could present serious
problems for A&M.
The Wolverines are ranked
No. 4 in the nation so, based on
that, the game should not be very
competitive. The Coogs lost to
Tulsa for goodness sakes.
But if the Houston offense
gets a couple of quick scores,
Michigan might be in trouble.
The Wolverine offense is not one
to play catchup, and the crowd
would be taken out of the mix,
wiping out an integral part of the
Michigan mystique.
For Houston to beat Michigan,
the Cougars will have to play a
perfect game on both sidesof
ball — something Houstonha;
not accomplished in the past.
As for A&M, oneshouldno!
look past the rest of its schedak
No games, beside SMU,area
given.
Baylor, Texas Tech, andlefi
all loom ahead. Tech and Bayk
are at home where Texas AWI
virtually unbeatable. A&Mte
had the Horns' number in prer
ous years.
So circle November 12onll<
and
calendar because that's when
A&M travels to play Houston
Sure it is a Thursday,
probably will not becalledol
Friday, unless there is divine
tervention.
But the Aggies trek totheA*
trodome for a special ESPNaf
fair, and A&M has suffered in*
cent years from a Domeiinx.
Take a road trip, and let stum
the "House of Pain" into "Kyle
Field South."
Texas A&M will benefitg®
ly from a week of rest andrela*’
ation. Hopefully, Michigan
won't decide it needs one,tc
