S ome things need to be changed
in this country. There should
be laws against Melrose Place
spin-offs, No Fear T-shirts and 80s
compilation albums. But the thing I
feel that needs to be outlawed be
fore any other, is the over use of
sports cliches.
Truisms like “It ain’t over til it’s
over” and “I’m just going to do the
best that I can do” have no place in
our society. But everyday, they are
used by coaches, athletes, doctors,
lawyers and other people having
nothing to do with sports.
Since a law will never be passed
to save us from ourselves, the fol
lowing alternatives should be used
to cut down on sports cliche abuse.
1) “I try to give 110 percent
everyday”
I’m out there giving it my best,
eight days a week.
I might have broken my ankle,
but I’ve still got two good legs left.
I stopped giving 110 percent
every day because I never got my
dime back.
2) “We took what they gave us”
We took what they gave us, but we
needed XXL and they only had XL.
We took what they gave us,
which is why we’re robbing you.
We took what they gave us,
which is why the city has a massive
penicillin shortage.
3) “I just go out there and do
what the coach tells me to do.”
I just go out there and do what
the coach tells me to do because
he’s reprogrammed my brain to
that of a trained killer.
I just go out there and do what
the coach tells me to do because
he’s still got those pictures of me
and the athletic director’s wife.

Lady Aggies’ comeback falls short
Volleyball team goes distance but drops fifth game to U.T.
By Nick Georgandis
The Battalion
By Nick Georgandis
The Battalion
In the interview room of G. Rol-
lie White Coliseum after the
Texas-Texas A&M volleyball
marathon Wednesday night, Lady
Longhorn head coach Mick Haley
leaned forward on the press table
and sighed, “This is one of the rea
sons I don’t have any hair left.”
Haley was referring to a game
that saw the Lady Aggies drop
the first two games of the match,
come back to win the next two
games, then finally drop to the
I2th-ranked Lady Longhorns in
five games, 15-13, 15-12, 10-15, 7-
15, 17-15.
Lady Aggie head coach Laurie
Corbelli refused to allow her team
to be disappointed, saying that the
young A&M squad took a huge
step forward in the match.
“I am extremely proud of the ef
fort put forth by this team tonight,
“ Corbelli said. “I want our players
to feel like we won tonight because
in many ways we did. For a while
there, I wanted to put on a jersey
and get out there.”
The Lady Aggies were led by
junior setter Suzy Wente, who record
ed 72 assists, a mark that was good
for second place all-time for sets in a
match.
Also providing sparks for A&M were
freshman outside hitter Kristie Smed-
srud, whose 34 kills tied the Lady Ag
gie all-time match record, and whose
.397 hitting percentage was tops
among all players, and senior outside
hitter Jennifer Bronner, who added 20
kills and a .286 hitting percentage.
Bronner, who has on the team the
last time they beat Texas three years
ago, said despite their great comeback,
the Lady Aggies were not satisfied.
“We played so well, and we had
great eye communication, “ Bronner
said. “It’s my last year, and the girls
and I really pushed hard to beat them,
but we just came up a little short.”
A&M had a chance to jump out in
front early in the match, starting the
first two games by jumping out to
quick leads. However, the Lady Ag-

Junior Suzy Wente, outside hitter, dives for the ball as her teammates look on.
gies could not hold the lead in either
game, and fell into an 0-2 hole.
The third game appeared to be go
ing the same route after A&M
jumped out 9-3 lead, only to watch
UT come back to tie the game at 10.
But instead of faltering as in the two
previous games, A&M rallied to score
the last five points of the game, and
narrow the lead to 2-1. After a rather
easy 15-7 A&M victory in the fourth
game, the stage was set for a classic
UT-A&M finish.
Under NCAA rules, the fifth game
of a match has different scoring rules.
Unlike in regular play, where a team
has to be serving to be able to score,
the fifth game is known as a “rally
score game”.
In the fifth game, side outs count as
points, generally making the game go
by much quicker.
In the final game, A&M fell behind
4-1, but finally caught the Lady Long
horns at 12, as the G. Rollie White
Uii L
Hiw vi
!
crowd reached a fever-pitch. A&M
took its first lead of the fifth game at
15-14, but could not put UT away, as
the Lady Longhorns scored the final
three points of the game to take the
match, 3-2.
Corbelli said she was disappointed,
not in the way her team played in the
final, but in the way the match was
decided.
"My biggest concern is that you
battle it out out there, and then sud
denly it’s a crapshoot to decide who
wins,” Corbelli said. “It’s like mak
ing a free throw worth three points in
the last two minutes of a basketball
game. It’s frustrating, but it’s in the
NCAA rules, and you’ve got to do
what the rules say.”
The Lady Aggies will travel to Boul
der, Colorado this weekend to take
place in the University of Colorado
Tournament. Their next home game
will be Wednesday, September 28 at
7:00 p.m against Baylor.

Freshmen starters
help Lady Ags
stay in match
By Jason Holstead
The Battalion
Even though the Texas A&M
volleyball team lost Wednesday
night to the l2th-ranked Universi
ty of Texas Lady Longhorns, the
play of two freshmen kept the Lady
Aggies in striking distance
throughout the match.
Farah Mensik and Kristie Smed-
srud, two highly recruited players
out of high school, both started for
the Lady Aggies in the annual “war”
against the University of Texas.
Smedsrud tied a Texas A&M vol
leyball match record with 34 kills
while adding 22 digs. Mensik
chipped in with 11 kills and 8 digs.
Smedsrud, a 6 foot, 1 inch out
side hitter from Grossmont High
School (La Mesa, California), was a
two-time all-GIF first team selec
tion and a one-time Grossmont
League Most Valuable Player.
She registered over 1,000 kills in
her final three seasons.
Despite her own outstanding per
formance, Smedsrud was more im
pressed with the crowd at the
“Holler House” Wednesday night.
“The crowd was unbelievable and
it helped us tremendously,” Smed
srud said. “It seemed when we got
stuck in those mental lapses they
(the crowd) kept cheering louder
and it really helped us. It was
something I’ll never forget.”
Coming from Katy High School,
Mensik, a 5 foot, 8 inch outside hitter.
