N of tf at A Bonf O dent ever publ Ti drin Lady Aggies open SWC tourney tonight FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS The Texas A&M volleyball team will get a chance to avenge a loss in its final home match of the season tonight when they play Baylor tonight at 7:30 in the first round of the Southwest Con ference Tournament in Austin. In their last meeting, Baylor, who is 21-14 overall and 3-7 in the SWC, beat the Lady Aggies in four games on Nov. 11. Drat match was the Lady Bears' first win against A&M in the last 11 conference meetings between the two. It also marked the first-ever Baylor win in G. Rollie White Coliseum. The toughest challenge tonight for A&M, who is 3-7 in conference play and 15-13 over all, will come in stopping hitter Heather Williams, who ranks among SWC leaders in kill aver age with a 3.81 mark. Williams led Baylor with 25 kills in their last match with A&M. Baylor setter/hitter Cory Siverston had 72 assists in the last Baylor-A&M matchup, adding 11 kills. She leads the Lady Bears with a .359 hitting percentage. As a team, Baylor enters the tournament with a .227 hitting percentage and is averaging 13.2 kills, 15.2 digs and three blocks per game. The Lady Aggies, who fin ished fourth or tied for fourth in the SWC for the fourth straight year, carry a .164 hitting percent age into tonight's match, but they are hitting only .129 against con ference opponents. Senior and leading scorer Eliz abeth Edmiston is winding down her last season at A&M with a bang as she is among SWC lead ers in three individual categories overall, as well as two more in conference play. She presently leads the Lady Aggies with a 3.23 kill average, and is second in dig and ace average and hitting per centage. But while the SWC Tourney marks the close of one career, it will also feature A&M's top youngster, setter Suzy Wente. Wente, whose 703 assists places her sixth in the A&M ca reer record books and is the most ever for an A&M freshman, is currently sixth in the SWC in as sists per game. She is also third on the team in dig average, with a 2.3 mark overall and 2.5 in the SWC. The winner of the A&M-Bay- lor match will play host team the University of Texas at 7:30 p.m. Saturday.

Ellisor concurred with Frazier and added that the game will be an emotional high. "Playing in front of the 12th Man for the last time will bring up a lot of emotions," Ellisor said. "There will be plenty of emotion to go along with the nostalgia, but I will miss the crowd support." As with any final appearance, a favorite memory or play will come to mind that stands out above the rest. "My favorite play at Kyle Field happened during my freshman year," Frazier said. "We were playing Texas, and I ran down Winfred Tubbs from behind. He was playing running back then. "Maybe that pushed the Long horn coaches to push him over to his present position of line backer." Carter's recollection was twofold. "Personally, when we played against Rice this year, and I caught that tipped ball from the defensive back," Carter said. "That was nice. But I will never forget when Aaron Wallace hit Houston's Andre Ware (in 1989) and held up Ware's helmet in the middle of the field. "That was a big-time play." Buckley's most exciting mo ment on Kyle Field was in 1990 against Southwestern Louisiana. "I registered my first sack against them," Buckley said. "That was a great thrill and one that I won't soon forget." A&M head coach R.C. Slocum said he can't believe how fast the time has passed, and he will not forget the nine seniors. "This always a special time," Slocum said. "It seems like just yesterday Marcus was a freshman in here. You look at those guys and see how quick they come and S°- "It is a sad time not only for the players but also for the coaches. These seniors have been solid players for us and provided us with leadership. "That is all you can ask from anybody."
