Aggie spikers beat up Mavericks
By Nick Georgandis
The Battalion
The Texas A&M women's volleyball team extend
ed its winning streak to seven games Saturday night
by defeating the University of Texas-Arlington Mav
ericks 15-2, 17-15 and 15-7 at G. 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.

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.
