Lady Aggie netter takes center court
Lxams
lontinued from
White ready to
spike challenge
of starting role
By Drew Diener
The Battalion
Lady Aggie middle blocker Page White
did not begin playing volleyball until she
was a sophomore at Converse Judson High
School. 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.”

A&M offensive lineman Tim Vor-
denbaumen takes a break from
protecting QB Corey Pullig. “
“It’s a big change because I
came to here to play defense
that’s what A&M is known for,”
Vordenbaumen said., “I really
didn’t know if I could do it. 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

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
