Lady Aggies need one goal to win
Early score by Robinson guarantees victory for soccer team
T he Big 12 merger is still two
years off, but in the last two
weeks, Southwest Conference
football fans have caught a glimpse
of what the competition is going to
be like. Surprisingly, it looks like
the leftovers from the SWC are go
ing to be able to hold their own
when they lock horns with their
new enemies from the heartland.
In the last two weeks, the SWC
has played five games with the Big
8, and has a solid 3-3 record to show
for it. Take into account that one of
those losses came via the University
of Houston at the hands of Missouri
Saturday at the Astrodome.
Despite drawing an overflow
crowd of 18,310 (that’s a joke) and
only giving up 393 yards of total of
fense, the Coogs just couldn’t score
any points, and lost 16-0. That was
Missouri’s first road win against a
team outside their conference since
1981. You remember Missouri, don’t
you? They’re the ones A&M beat 73-
0 last year. The Tigers aren’t that
good, but the Cougars are infinitely
worse. UH is 0-11 material.
So, we’re looking at a 3-2 record
against the Big 8. A&M thrashed
Oklahoma last week in a convinc
ing fashion, but the Sooners fig
ured to have it easy this past
weekend against Texas Tech at
home in Norman. Even after los
ing to the Aggies, OU was still
ranked 21st in the nation, and
went into their home opener Satur
day as a 21-point favorite.
Tech is rebuilding this season.
Their offense was pretty much dev
astated in the off-season, having
lost quarterback Robert Hall and
wide receiver Lloyd Hill to gradua
tion, and super-back Byron “Bam”
Morris to early departure to the
NFL draft and subsequently, the
Pittsburgh Steelers. Before 60,000+
fans in Norman, the game had all
the elements of a classic blowout.
But Tech held their own against
the Sooners in losing 17-11. They
were behind 14-0 early in the sec
ond quarter, but were as close as 14-
11 late in the game. Tech had the
ball on the Oklahoma 37 after recov-

A goal by sophomore forward Tina
Robinson thirty seconds into the match
was all the scoring the Texas A&M
women’s soccer team needed in their 1-
0 win over the University of Tulsa Fri
day at the Aggie Soccer Complex.
“This game proves our girls can come
out, score early and maintain our con
centration for 90 minutes,” A&M head
coach G. Guerrieri said.
Robinson’s header in front of the goal
was the result of a crossing pass from
sophomore midfielder Kim Duda.
Robinson said that it was important for
the Aggies, 4-1-1, to get off to the quick
start.
“Before the game, G. (Guerrieri) told
us that we were going to have to start
out fast,” Robinson said. “He knew they
(Tulsa) were going to start out fired
up.”
The Aggies offense cooled off as far
as goals scored, but not from the lack of
opportunities. The Aggies kept the of
fensive pressure on the Golden Hurri
cane by firing 18 shots on goal. This
was a concern to Guerrieri who said the
team’s productivity will improve with
experience.
“It’s frustrating when you outshoot
a team 18-6 and only win by one goal,”
Guerrieri said. “With our youth, com
posure in front of the goal comes with
experience. It is something we’ll be
working on.”
With a one-goal lead to protect, the
Aggies used heavy defensive pressure to
limit Tulsa, 2-3-0, to seven shots, de
spite an injury to freshman sweeper Di
ana Rowe. Sophomore Allison Buckley
moved back from her usual midfield po
sition to help keep the Golden Hurri
cane away from the goal.
“I’m really confident with Allison
back there (at sweeper),” said A&M
sophomore goalkeeper Sunny Mc
Connell. “She’s a very intimidating
player and she’s always there.”
McConnell recorded the shutout, and
has only allowed one goal in the last
two and a half games. McConnell says
the team’s communication is a big rea
son for the recent success.
“The defense is coming together bet
ter,” McConnell said. “We’re talking
better and making it easier for me to
read the offense so I know when to ex
pect shots. With every practice and
every game, my confidence goes even
higher.”
The Aggies will end their three-game
homestand when they host the Univer
sity of Texas Sunday at 3 p.m.
Mens tennis dominates 5-Way Invitational
Unseeded Martinez wins singles final 6-2,6-3 over teammate Krause
Staff and Wire Reports
The Texas A&M men’s ten
nis team dominated their
own 5-Way Invitational this

the singles final over team
mate Robbie Krause. All four
of the participants in the sin
gles semifinals were Aggies.
Martinez, who was un
seeded in the tournament,
said he was extremely
pleased with the way he
played over the weekend.
“I played well and expected
to do good in the tournament,
but I didn’t know how good. “
Martinez said. “I played
some close matches, and it
feels great to win those.”
Martinez reached the
semifinals by defeating ju

seed in the tournament. 4-6, . ; A % i

Aggie cross country
teams compete in
Nebraska Invitational
Staff and Wire Reports
The Texas A&M men’s and women’s
cross country teams competed in their
first official meet of the year over the
weekend, taking part in the Nebraska
Invitational cross country meet.
“Overall, considering that we are
coming off of a high mileage week, and
considering the difficulty of the
course, I felt we competed well.” A&M
cross country coach Greg Hinze said.
In the overall standings, the women’s
team finished third out of the six squads
competing. The women’s team was lead
by Cecille Sangalang who finished 12th in
the overall standings, freshman Traci
Clark who finished 16th and junior Shan
non Etchberger, who ended up 18th.
While Hinze said he was pleased by
the women’s performances, he sees plen
ty of room for improvement.
“I was encouraged with Shannon
Etchberger’s performance, along with
our three freshman, Traci Clark, Abby
Mudroch and Milli Ondras, “ Hinze
said. “Cecille Sangalang is running ex
tremely well right now, but the women
still have some work to do.”
The men’s team also finished third
among the six teams, and was led senior
Brian Piper, who finished tenth overall.
Seven members of the men’s team were
among the top 20 competitors.
Despite the loss of one of the team’s
top performers, Hinze said the men
ran well and got some valuable experi
ence from the race.
“Our number three runner dropped
out with a cramp with less than a mile to
go, so that hurt us, “ Hinze said. “But I
though Piper and A1 Hernandez ran well,
and the two freshmen, Goby Bullard and
Dustin Stephens, got a taste of Division I
with their first 8,000 meter race.”
Next up, the teams travel to Lubbock
to compete in the Red Raider Open, host
ed by Texas Tech on Saturday, Sept. 24th.

Texas A&M men’s tennis coach
David Kent said he is pleased with the
number of good players that will com

“We have good depth on the team, I
feel confident about our young players
as we get ready for the spring, “ Kent
said. “We played power tennis and
controlled the tournament.”
