Now, as a sophomore at Texas A&M, the hard-working White is starting for the Lady Aggies. “I think our middle is pretty equal, and (starting) is not necessarily a permanent thing,” White said. “I just have to contin ue working to keep it.” Last season, the little used White ap peared in only 10 matches for the Lady Aggies, chalking up nine kills, 14 digs, and five blocks. Over the off-season, however, she worked hard, making the necessary improvements to earn her current role as a starter. “They (the coaching staff) taught me a lot of mental skills,” White said. “I was basically young and inexperienced and had to work a lot on the fundamentals.” Head coach Laurie Corbelli said that White really began to show positive strides last spring when the team participated in a tournament at Stanford University. “We played some of the top teams in the country and no one stopped her,” Corbelli said. “I think that gave her the confidence to come in this year and be a starter.” Good blocking and attack skills are among the strengths that have propelled White to the position that she currently holds. Her .381 hitting percentage leads the Lady Aggies, while 55 kills rank her third on the team. In addition, she has played in every game of all five matches. At Judson High, White was an first- team All-City selection as a senior, leading her team to a 26—9 record and the state regional quarterfinals. In addition to star ring on the volleyball court, White was also a three year starter on the basketball team, earning All-District and All-City honors in her senior year. A solid performance tonight against thel2th-ranked University of Texas Lady Longhorns should solidify White’s current status on the team. While many first year starters might be nervous about playing their team’s arch rival, White is not. “I’m pumped up and really ready (to play Texas),” White said. “I’ve never got ten a chance to play against t.u.” Although White has risen to a level ex ceeding that of last season’s, Corbelli said there is still room for improvement. “She needs to work on her speed of at tack,” Corbelli said. “Although she’s work ing on it right now, she can get so much quicker. Her timing on blocks and back- court play are not bad but can get better. “She’s got a lot of improvement to do which is exciting because she’s already this strong.” White not only has high expectations for herself, but also for her team this sea son. “We have lots of talent, with good peo ple coming in and great returners, ” White said. “It (success) is just going to depend on how quickly we develop and play to gether.” pong boys t pis,” Wilson-Si J This trend i mat teachers a: me needs of th aid. “We hope b ore knowled] •e more consci losure they ar |nd girls,” she i lore reluctar pened in more ae standpoint iris in exercise 0S,” This additii lent, she said, leir future ed tl< The study of lerformance sui 0,000 medica [tudies indicat 9.9 percent of a e test.

It’s difficult position to learn because there’s so many different tech niques. “There’s a lot more things you have to learn compared to what you have to learn on defense.” Vordenbaumen admits he felt the nervousness that comes with the first start. The feeling wors ened with the first start in Kyle Field last week against the Okla homa Sooners. “There’s more nerves kicking in for the home game than there were against LSU because I had friends saying T will be watching you,’” said Vordenbaumen. “You see how crowds come out in big games. It’s a big, thrilling experi ence.” Vordenbaumen admits the pressure of the season is lessened with the accomplishments he has earned off the'field. In the sum mer, he graduated with an ac counting degree and has already received the benefits that comes along with the hard work he demonstrated in the classroom. “I feel fortunate that I have companies extending offers to me to come to work,” Vordenbaumen said. “I can go to school this year and play football knowing I do have job offers. “It makes for a much more re laxed atmosphere. This enables me to concentrate on football and have a fun season.” Vordenbaumen has three Southwest Conference Champi onship rings, but with the Aggies on probation for the 1994 season, will not be able to collect his fourth. This is something that is disappointing to him, but says that the years of playing football have been good to him. It is those memories that he can take with him when he leaves Texas A&M. “Playing football is a process that most people don’t get a chance to experience,” Vorden baumen said. “I’ve made some great friends, good memories and had some fun times; things I’ll remember for the rest of my my life.” Capriati to return to grass in October WE AT I CLEVELAND (AP) - Jen nifer Capriati, who left the women’s tour last year and was later arrested on drug charges, wants to return to tennis in early October. The player’s agent, Interna tional Management Group, said the 18-year-old star has requested wild-card entries to the Barilla Indoors tourna ment in Zurich, Switzerland, and the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Filderstadt, Germany. “Obviously she’s getting ready to play again. These are pretty big tournaments,” said Linda Dozoretz, president of Linda Dozoretz Communica tions in Los Angeles, which represents Cleveland-based IMG. “Martina Navratilova is scheduled to play in them, so they are pretty important.’.’ijS Wedr I Mostly clou' si ewers and thu Iear91.
