Forty minutes later, I heard those
words that every Rocket fan loves to
hear "The newly-activated Granville
Waiters in for Olajuwon." Actually, I
really couldn't hear the game because
it kept fading in and out with three
other stations.
One moment, I would be listening
to an earth shattering dunk and the
next, the newest country hits. Some
times a talk radio program or an
adult contemporary station would
wander over and be broadcast
around my room.
It was one of the strangest experi

By winning the National Collegiate
Soccer Association Southern Regional
tournament in Austin last weekend,
Texas A&M's club soccer team captured
a spot in the National tournament in
Phoenix, Arizona on November 18.
Player-coach Nick Peffley said win
ning the title was the easy part for A&M,
who finished the season at 12-1.
Now comes the difficult part. A&M
must find a way to finance the trip to the
championship tournament. The universi
ty's sports recreation department allocat
ed the Aggies $2,450 to travel during the
season and buy uniforms.

The Texas A&M Lady Aggie soccer team (13-3-1) will finish
its inaugural season as an NCAA scholarship team when they
take on Centenary and Florida Atlantic in Shreveport, Louisiana
this weekend.
A&M head coach Gerald Guerrieri said that barring a total
collapse Saturday and Sunday, the season will be an exceptional
success.
"The coaching staff came in with modest expectations and
the girls came in with high expectations," he said. "And in
many ways we exceeded both."
Guerrieri said that the key to the Lady Aggies' success was
that the play of senior defender Rennie Rebe, junior midfielder
Brittan Hlista and freshmen midfielders Jamie Csizmadia and
Kim Duda.
"Early in the season, we wanted to focus on the midfield and
the defense," he said, "and they were the cornerstones in the
building of this team."
With Rebe handling the duties as captain, Guerrieri said the
lone senior on the squad provided great leadership for the Lady
Aggies. She was the steadying force for the Lady Aggies but
when the team needed to shut down an opponents' leading
scorer, he said he gave junior defender Kristi Dillinger the call.
In what Guerrieri called Texas A&M's "biggest game,"
Dillinger shut down Southern Methodist's All-American for
ward Kara Lee, as the Lady Aggies tied the nation's 16th-ranked
Lady Mustangs at one goal apiece.
"Kristi has been the answer for us against a lot of teams,"
Guerrieri said. "She stopped three All-Americans and every
matchup she has been involved with she has dominated."
Csizmadia's 13 goals made her a consistent scoring threat
and in the middle of the season, she had a six-game scoring
streak.
On a freshmen dominated team, the improvement of two of
the first year players, forward Yvette Okler and goalkeeper Sun
ny McConnell, helped A&M win 13 of its last 15 games. Okler
scored four goals against the University of Texas and was a key
in the win over the University of New Mexico last weekend dur
ing the Aggieland Invitational, winning the tournament's Most
Valuable Player Award on offense.
"I was surprised at how we did," Okler said. "I didn't think
we were going to win so many games. I just tried to push my
self, (and) as my self confidence improved, my play got better."
McConnell's play was a pleasant surprise, Guerrieri said.

Senior A&M defender Rene Rebe (3) beats a Hardin Simmons
player to the ball in the Aggies 6-1 victory on Oct. 1 7.
"I knew her (McConnell) for a few years and I had some con
cerns about her play," he said. "But all the shortcomings that we
thought she had, she more than overcame them."
McConnell said that her play improved because she had to
battle all year to keepi" her job. She said that she was pleased that
her hard work paid off when she was chosen to the Aggieland
Invitational All-Tournament team.
Guerrieri said that the 2-0 win over the University of New
Mexico during the tournament gave A&M national recognition.
"That was a matchup between the top two first-year teams in
the nation," he said. "And we dominated them from the start
ing whistle to the last whistle."
Because Texas A&M only recruited one forward, that posi
tion was the biggest uncertainty for the Lady Aggies at the start

Kaplan finds
magic formula
Again.
Proof that
no one knoivs tests
like Kaplan:
Kaplan has found a pattern behind GRE Pattern Identification questions—a way
for you to get them right nearly every time. In seconds. Even if you don’t understand
the question. And because the method works best on harder questions, you have
more time to work on the easy ones.
And, with the largest staff of researchers in the industry—spending $2 million a
year analyzing the tests—you have to expect this sort of thing. Kaplan has "broken
the code” on three other question-types since 1982, contributing to the removal of
those questions, from the tests.
All of this means you score higher.
It’s just one aspect of Kaplan's Total Training method for raising your score—part of
the world's greatest arsenal of test-taking techniques, reasoning skills, content
review, and practice tests.
With Kaplan’s help, you could know the tests better
than the test-makers.
