Lady Aggies finish home season
DARRIN HILL/The Battalion
Jennifer Bronner and Andrea Williams prepare to put back a Houston spike in
A&M’s match last VVednesday with the Lady Cougars. The Lady Aggies play their
last game of the year in G. Rollie White Coliseum against Baylor at 7 p.m.
Team plays well,
yet fans don't
show up. Why?
Wwei
V V YOU
last Saturday
afternoon?
If you were
at Kyle Field
watching the
Aggies disman
tle a good
Louisville
team, you need
read no further,
unless you en
joy watching
our team get
rowbeaten.
But if you
weren't there,
■ why not?
How good do the Aggies have to
be before you will show up and watch
them play?
How many games do they have to
win?
By what margin are they supposed
to win?
How high do they have to be
ranked?
I guess that being 9-0 and No. 4 in
the nation is not good enough.
Only 48,848 fans showed up last
week to watch the game, and from the
seat I was in it looked as if nearly
every one of the 22,000 empty seats
were in the student section.
I've seen more people at a Univer
sity of Texas-Arlington game, which
is not a compliment since they
dropped their football program be
cause of poor attendance.
So what is your excuse?
In Stanford, 72,571 people saw
Stanford University play against the
University of Southern California.
Neither team is ranked in the top ten.
Ohio State against Minnesota? The
Columbus school hosted 91,764 to see
two teams play that are headed
nowhere on New Year's Day.

Three seniors bid
goodbyes to A&M
in match with Baylor
By DON NORWOOD
Sports Writer of THE BATTALION
Tonight's 7 p.m. volleyball match be
tween Texas A&M and Baylor in G. Rollie
White Coliseum will be a bittersweet one
for the Lady Aggies.
In the midst of A&M's drive to a
Southwest Conference tournament berth,
the match will be the last one at home for
seniors Elizabeth Edmiston, Diane
Robertson and Raychelle Michalke - three
fixtures for the Lady Aggies.
While Michalke has been forced to sit
out most of the year with recurring knee
problems, the other two veterans have
shown no signs of slowing down as the
season draws to a close.
Robertson has forced her way into
more playing time with performances
like the one she had last Wednesday
against the University of Houston, when
she shattered her personal record for kills
in a game with 16. And in the Lady Ag
gies' three-game loss on the road Friday
against Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo, Robert
son logged six kills and eight digs while
playing in all three games.
Leading scorer Edmiston just kept
rolling along last weekend, finishing with
a season-high 20 digs and a team-best 15
kills in A&M's five-game win over Neva-
da-Reno on Saturday. She also had eight
kills and 10 digs against Cal Poly-SLO.
The reality of losing A&M s veteran
leadership has hit one Lady Aggie, junior
outside attacker/setter Genny Wood.
"This will be the last time I'll play at G.
Rollie with Elizabeth and Diane," Wood
said Tuesday. "I want this match to be a
really good match for them."
While Wood seems a bit nostalgic
about tonight's match, at least one of the
A&M seniors is concerned only with the
immediate future.
"I'm ready to take these next two
matches (Baylor and UT-San Antonio)
and get a little more momentum heading
into the conference tournament," Edmis
ton said without batting an eye.
That matter-of-factness might be espe
cially valuable tonight since the match
will mean more than just the last SWC
meeting for both teams.
A&M is fourth in the conference with a
3-6 record in league play, just one game
ahead of Baylor. If A&M wins, its fourth

Hill named SWC
Offensive Player
of the Week
FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS
Texas A&M's Greg Hill joined South
ern Methodist's Rongea Hill as co-Offen-
sive Players of the Week by the Associat
ed Press.
Greg has proven to be a very accurate
barometer for the No. 4 Aggies.
When Hill rushes for more than 100
yards, the Aggies usually win, including
Saturday's 40-18 victory over Louisville
Pullig to start Thursday
Texas A&M head coach R.C. Slocum
revealed Tuesday that freshman Corey
Pullig will start again at quarterback in
the Aggies' game against Houston on
Thursday,
Pullig started for the first time in his
college career Saturday against
Louisville and completed 14 of 22 for
128 yards.
"His performance in games and in
practice has been consistent," Slocum
said. "He's earped the right to start."
when he gained a season-high 142 yards
on 26 carries and had a career high three
touchdowns.
It was Hill's 12th career 100-yard per
formance and the Aggies have won 11 of
those games.
Greg Hill continued to make an impact
on the Aggies. He's gained 2,199 yards in
20 games with A&M and has rushed for
more yards in those games than any play
er in SWC history.
"If you leave me in long enough I'll get
my rhythm after two or three series,"
Greg Hill said. "Rodney (Thomas) is the
same way. We like to be in the ball
game."
Freshman Corey Pullig added stability
to the Aggies passing game, but that's fine
with Hill.
"The passing game opens up the of
fense for me," he said. "We've been get
ting teams pile everybody up on the line.
I'm sure Houston is planning to do all of
those things. But all I need is a little
crack."
