A&M tries to get into postseason picture
Lady Aggies look for spark against Rice
By K. LEE DAVIS
Sporlf Writer of THE BATTALION
The Texas A&M Lady Aggie
volleyball team will attempt to
climb back into the conference
race Saturday night at 7:00 as the
Rice Owls come to College Station
looking for their first conference
win.
A&M head coach A1 Givens is
hoping that some fans will stay on
campus after the finish of the
A&M-Baylor football game and
attend the match to cheer the Lady
ggies to victory.
"If they haven't seen us, then
come and watch," Givens said.
"They won't be disappointed be
cause our players play extremely
hard, and we will leave every
thing out on the court.
"If we can get 2,000 people in
here (G.’Rollie White Coliseum),
this place will be rockin'."
A&M (11-8, 2-4 in Southwest
Conference play) is coming off of
a tough four-game match loss at
the hands of Texas Tech on
TVednesday, vyhich ^jck^jd off the
second half of the conference sea
son.
The Lady Aggies will be
putting a six-match winning
streak on the line against Rice (9-
14, 0-6). A&M defeated the Owls
in their first matchup this season
on Sept. 30, by a score of 15-4, 15-
2,10-15,15-4.
Senior co-captain Elizabeth Ed-
miston said that she doesn't ex
pect the Aggies to cruise to an
easy victory against the Owls this
time.
"We all expect for them to
come out real fired up and ready
to play hard," she said. "We're
just going to have to be sure that
we play our game on our side of
the net, and hopefully, that should
take care of it."
Senior co-captain Kim Mitchell
said that the Owls' size could
prove to be a threat.
"Rice has a couple of big play
ers, and they can sneak up on
you," Mitchell said. "So we can't
take them lightly."
Freshman setter Suzy Wente
agreed that the Lady Aggies will
have to play well to be successful
against Rice.
"We need to play defense and
get our blocking game together
and execute all around," Wente
said.
Edmiston said that she realized
A&M needed to win against Rice
to start back on track towards a
postseason playoff berth.
"I don't like to think too much
about the pressure, but every time
we take the court we haVe a re
sponsibility to play as well as we
can," Edmiston said. "We're go
ing to have to play good ball the
rest of the way to even be consid
ered for postseason play."
Mitchell said that A&M hasn't
reached its full potential yet, but
not because of lack of effort.
"We need to keep working
hard in practice," Mitchell said.
"The problem, I think, is just up in
our heads right now."
Givens also said that his team
is on the verge of gaining a post
season berth, but it needs to play
well to reach that goal.
"We have to win our three con
ference matches here at home, and
we have several other matches
with teams ranked ahead of us,"
Givens said. "So if we beat the
teams we're supposed to beat and
sneak up on one of the others then
we should be in a pretty good po
sition.'
"An 18-14 record should get us
in (the post-season), and 20-12 will
definitely get us in."
Broadcasting legend Red Barber dies at age 84
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Red
Barber, the pioneering play-by-
play announcer who brought
some of baseball's biggest mo
ments into the homes of millions
during his 33-year career, died
Thursday. He was 84.
Barber, known as "the OF Red
head," had been hospitalized
since Oct. 10 when he underwent
surgery for an intestinal blockage.
Death resulted from pneumonia
and kidney complications, hospi
tal spokesman Warren Jones said.
Barber broadcast games for the
Cincinnati Reds (1934-38), Brook
lyn Dodgers (1939-53) and New
York Yankees (1954-66).
While he was with the
Dodgers, Barber did play-by-play
of the first night baseball game
and the first televised game. He
was there for such events as Mick
ey Owen's missed third strike in
the 1941 World Series and Jackie
Robinson's breaking of baseball's
color line.
