Rollie White Colise um. The Lady Aggies improved to 15-3 while UTA dropped to 4-8. Senior outside hitter Sheila Morgan lead the Lady Aggies with 21 kills in thrp three-game match. Mor gan also recorded a .529 hitting percentage and earned high praise from her teammates. "How she turned it on (Saturday night) and how much she's done this year is simply amazing," junior outside hitter Anna Klasing said. "The way she's playing right now, it's just very fun and exciting to watch her play and to be on the court with her." Junior outside hitter Jennifer Bronner, who had 13 kills and a match-high .591 hitting percentage, and senior middle blocker Amy Kisling who recorded 12 kills and a career-high 10 blocks, helped A&M com plete the three game sweep. Despite the victory and the individual highlights, A&M head coach Laurie Corbelli said she believes the team still has improvements to make. "I was not extremely pleased with the overall per formance, but I am pleased with the win," Corbelli said. ,"We managed to gei in a lot of substitutes into the game, so we had the chance to get a good look at everybody." The Lady Aggies return to the court in a confer ence match with the Rice Owls at G. Rollie Wednes day night at 7 p.m. Klasing said she believes the Rice game will be an excellent test for the team. "They (Rice) have some really good hitters so we'll have to have some good, solid blocks," Klasing said, "Once we are able to stop them, we can go af ter them with our offense and take over."

Braves clinch third consecutive National League West title The Associated Press ATLANTA, GA — After winning game No. 104, the Braves waited and watched. And, finally, on the last day of the best pennant race in years, the San Francisco Giants cracked. The Braves won their third straight NL West title Sunday — but it didn't happen until three hours af ter their 5-3 victory over the Colorado Rockies. The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Giants 12-1 a continent away to help the Braves clinch and secure a spot in the National League Championship series. Harrison Continued from Page 7 Hall, blasting through Hall's (lack of) protec tion for two memorable sacks that cost Tech 20 yards. A&M notched six sacks on the day and numerous headaches for new Advil spokesman Hall. Away from the line of scrimmage, the sec ondary had their best coverage game since Kevin Smith and Patrick Bates patrolled enemy passing lanes two years ago. Cornerbacks Aaron Glenn and Ray Mick- ens, a junior, either made phenomenal reads on the Red Raider wide receivers or used a 1-900 psychic service, for the tandem played like they knew where the Tech receivers were going. Glenn picked the first of two A&M inter ceptions covering Tech's All-America re ceiver Lloyd Hill. The senior from Aldine be gan the play lined up a yard from Hill and ran with him step for step and move for move, denying Hill position and controlling the pick while Hill tried to knock the ball from Glenn's grasp. "It was just man-to man coverage," Glenn said. "I just ran with him down the field, I saw his eyes looking for the ball, and as I turned around, it was there. "And I just caught it." And freshman Dono van Greer grabbed A&M's second intercep tion, the first one of his career, as Hall, flushed form the pocket and fleeing from a pack of A&M defenders, lofted a pass right to Greer. But ^reer had to fight off two other A&M players to get it. When Tech did com plete their passes, they were swallowed up by the secondary, especial ly junior strong safety Michael Hendricks, who stopiped the 235 (plus) pound bowling ball Morris with a sharp, upending throw to the turf. While A&M's of fense struggled in the first half with two fum bles and an interception against the Red Raiders' defensive unit, the Ag gie defense took control and showed no signs of fatigue. A&M's defense did what Georgia and seventh-ranked Nebras ka couldn't do: Hold the Red Raiders with out a touchdown. And they did it on the road with people throwing tortillas at them - that's got to mean something. Adams said the de- ferfe'e did not need to make bold statements to future combatants af ter what the Aggies ac complished. "We don't need to send a message - they know." And as the defense tightens the screws and improves, the rest of the SWC should take heed. Because right now A&M's best offense is a good defense.
