It's 'Dances
with Aggies'
MATTHEW J.
RUSH
Sportswriter
H a v e
you
ever
noticed the
somewhat
bizarre rituals
that take place
after a great
play on the
football field?
No, we're
not talking
about Reveille
barking at the
other team's
mascot, a yell
by the yell
leaders, or the
fans booing
another great Southwest Conference
referee's call.
I'm talking about the individual
players strutting their stuff.
Of course every player gets excited
after a big play, but there are excep
tions to every rule and there are play
ers that have a little more flair for the
dramatic than just the average "high-
five."
Take, for example, running back
Greg Hill. After a touchdown he al
ways takes off his helmet the same
way, holds it up with one hand while
his arms are raised and gives his typi
cal "Give-it-up-for-Greg" types of
hand gestures to the crowd. The
60,000 rowdy Aggie fans whoop it up
in response to what he calls "Greg
Hill Time."
Sophomore cornerback Ray Mick-
ens waves his arms, shaking his head,
as he signals an incomplete pass as if
to say, "Not on Ray-Ray." Mickens
then walks back to the huddle while

Lady Aggies hit the hardcourt
A&M women's basketball season debuts against Lithuania team
By Drew Diener
The Battalion
The Lady Aggie basketball team tips-off its 1993-94
schedule tonight at 7 p.m. against a touring team from
Lithuania, and A&M head coach Lynn Hickey said the
Vilnus Rina Basketball Club should give her a team a
good preseason test.
"(Vilnus Rina) is going to be very physical and play
really rough," Hickey said. "This will be a good situation
for our group to see how we react because they pound
you."
Sophomore point guard Lisa Branch said the team is
ready to play someone else besides themselves.
"Once we start playing different teams, we're going to
keep getting better," Branch said.
Branch, the SWC Newcomer of the Year last season.
said the team's strength lies in its inside game which in
cludes the 6'4" tandem of sophomores Kelly Cerny and
Martha McClelland. Cerny and McClelland made quite
an impact in the paint last season combining for 27 starts,
finishing a respective one-two on the team in field-goal
percentage and blocks per game. Branch said she expects
even more contribution from the A&M "twin towers"
this season.
"No doubt about it, the big girls this year are going to
help us win a lot of games," Branch said. "We have
enough talent to win the conference."
McClelland cites the inexperience of the team as being
a possible roadblock to success this season; however she
said she remains optimistic that the team will continue to
improve.
Ten of the fifteen players on the team are listed as

After four months of hard practice and tough matches, the second sea
son begins this weekend for Texas A&M volleyball as the team travels to
Lubbock for the Southwest Conference tournament.
The Lady Aggies are seeded second in the tournament and will play
the winner of the Rice-Houston match on Saturday at 5:30 p.m.
Sophomore setter Suzy Wente said she thinks the team is anxious to
play Houston first in the tournament.
"It's pretty much revenge time if we play Houston," Wente said.
"They killed us the last time we played them, so we're anxious to even
that score."
A tournament championship would guarantee the Lady Aggies a berth
in the NCAA tournament, but their season record of 25-6 (7-3 in the con
ference) may be enough to qualify, with a SWC tournament champi
onship or not.
Wednesday, A&M defeated the Southwest Texas Bobcats 15-10, 10-15,
15-7, 15-1 lin its final regular season game before the SWC tournament,
paced by senior middle blocker Kim Mitchell, who registered a blistering
.625 hitting percentage while notching a career-high 23 kills (shots with
out return.)
With the regular season over, head volleyball coach Laurie Corbelli
