lahoma on September 10,
Allen won the starting free
safety job from senior Junior
White.
A&M secondary coach Lar
ry Slade said Allen’s work
ethic and desire have inspired
the entire secondary to im
prove their play.
“The way it (Allen’s intensi
ty) has rubbed off has been
pretty positive,” Slade said.
“The secondary prides them
selves as playmakers. Those
guys want to make plays and
understand why he (Allen) is
making plays.
“He’s one of those guys
that’s going to his job and do
it right every time.”
Allen has recorded 23 tack
les this season and his two in
terceptions tie him with
sophomore cornerback Dono
van Greer for the team lead.
In A&M’s 38-7 victory over
Houston last weekend, Allen
registered his first career
blocked punt.
“I told Coach that I could
get in there (to pressure the
punt) if they (the coaches)
gave me a shot at it,” Allen
said. “I was able to hit the
seam and get in there to block
the punt.”
As for influences on his
game, Allen said former A&M
All-American safety Patrick
Bates, now with the Los Ange
les Raiders, provided an excel
lent model to pattern him
self after.
“He was a big and physical
guy, where as I’m a smaller
guy,” Allen said. “He was a
great player and a smart play
er. I try to imitate some of
the things that he did.”
Allen now finds himself in
the same kind of position
Bates was in a couple of sea
sons ago. With continued suc
cess, the expectations to per
form well will mount. Allen
said he has taken all of the
publicity and attention he has
received this season in stride.
“I don’t think that I’ve tak
en the success and let it go to
my head,” Allen said. “I still
try to prepare for every game
just like I always have.”
Soccer team readies for weekend
By Stewart Doreen
The Battalion
The Texas A&M women’s soccer team will
have a full load this weekend playing three
games in three days.
“Athletically, this will be our most challeng
ing weekend of the year,” A&M head coach G.
Guerrieri said. “We will play three full length
competitive games in three days. It will be a
real test for us.”
Texas A&M (6-2-2) is coming off a 3-1 win
over Texas Tech in Lubbock last Sunday out-
shooting the Red Raiders 32-7. The win finished
off a 1-1-1 road stint.
The Aggies, ranked eighth in the South
region, return to friendly confines of the
Aggie Soccer Complex to host the University
of Arkansas-Little Rock Friday (2-6-1)
at 3:00 p.m.
“We beat Arkansas-Little Rock 2-1 last year,”
Guerrieri said. “It was a tight, hard fought
game that we pulled out on a great goal by
(sophomore midfielder) Kim Duda. All our play
ers are going to have to be physically and men
tally prepared.”
The team will then travel to The Woodlands
on Saturday to take on the U.S. Military Acade
my Lady Knights (10-3) at 2:00 p.m. as a part of
the Women’s Soccer Classic.
Lady Knight midfielder Holly Pedley
leads the team in all three statistical categories
with 13 goals and 12 assists for 38 points.
Forwards Alexis Albano and Kate Pendry for
are tied for second with 22 points each.
“Army has a 10-3 record and is one of the
strongest teams in the Northeast, Guerrieri
said. “They have two very good forwards and
are very disciplined.”
The Aggies will again return home for a 3:00
p.m. Sunday game with the University of South
Alabama Jaguars. Sophomore forward Amy
Price leads the team in points while freshman
goalkeeper Chrystal Emerson is holding teams
to 1.26 goals per game.
“South Alabama is having a great first year,”
Guerrieri said. “They are a strong team, and we
expect a very physical, challenging match
against them.”
Texas A&M sophomore forward Kristen Koop
is the team’s leading goal scorer (7) and points
leader (16). Junior midfielder Corie Hammers is
second in points with 11 (four goals and three
assists). Sophomore goalkeeper Sunny Mc
Connell has compiled a 5-2-1 record and 1.19
goals-against average which ranks tenth in the
South region.
The Aggie Soccer Complex has been a grave
yard for opponents in its inaugural season with
the visitors having lost in all three attempts. In
fact, the Aggies have never lost a home match in
nine tries (9-0).
Volleyball hopes to extend streak
Netters prepare to face Notre Dame,
University of Houston in weekend play
By Jason Holstead
The Baitalion
The Texas A&M women’s vol
leyball team hopes to extend its
three match winning streak
tonight against the 25th-ranked
University of Houston Lady
Cougars. After an inconsistent
beginning to the season, the
Lady Aggies feel they are begin
ning to truly mesh into a team.
“I think the younger players
are becoming more comfortable
with the system and their team
mates,” hehd coach Laurie Cor-
belli said. “The other players
have welcomed the younger
players into a difficult situation
because they knew there was
potential(in the new players) to
take (their) spots.”
Senior outside hitter Jennifer
Bronner said the team is start
ing to come together.
“We are building a bond with
each other out there on the
court,” Bronner said.
“We know where everyone is
(on the court) and who is going
to get the ball. We communicate
well with each other.”
The Lady Cougars (9-3 over
all and 4-0 in SWC) are current
ly riding a six match winning
streak, which includes a unbeat
en 4-0 record on their home floor
this season.
Houston is led by their out
side hitter, Lilly Denoon-
Chester, who leads the South
west Conference in kill aver
age (4.67) and blocking (1.29)
and is second in hitting effi
ciency (.333)i ' f
Corbelli said the Lady
Cougars are a very efficient
team that runs a basic offense.
“They probably have the
player of the year on their
team in Lilly Denoon-Chester.
She is exceptional and will get
her 15-plus kills per match,”
Corbelli said.
“They also have a surround
ing cast of very strong players
for their positions.”
The Lady Aggies are current
ly in fourth place with a 2-2 con
ference record.
Texas A&M has not defeat
ed Houston at Hofheinz Pavil
ion since 1987, losing the last
six matches.
The Lady Aggies will return
home Saturday night to host
the rematch against 12th-
ranked Notre Dame at G. Rol-
lie White Coliseum.
The Irish handily defeated
A&M (4-15, 4-15, 3-15) last
month at the University of Col
orado Coors Tournament.
Cleveland embarrasses Houston, 11-8
HOUSTON (AP) — The Cleveland
Browns left the Houston Oilers red-faced
on prime time television — again.
Cleveland used trickery on a 2-point
conversion and Vinny Testaverde’s 25-
yard touchdown pass to Mark Carrier for
an 11-8 victory over Houston on Thursday
night as the Browns reached 5-1 for the
first time since 1965.
It was another embarrassing nationally
televised moment for the Oilers, beaten 30-
14 on Oct. 3 by the Pittsburgh Steelers. The
Oilers face another prime time date on Oct.
24 at the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Oilers were within 28 seconds of
their first shutout loss in 18 years in the
Astrodome when Billy Joe Tolliver threw
a 5-yard TD pass to Lorenzo White.
When Tolliver completed a 2-point con
version pass to Haywood Jeffires, Houston
trailed by the margin of A1 Del Greco’s
missed 29-yard field goal attempt earlier
in the fourth period.
Tolliver, who came in with 7 1/2 minutes
to play, completed 9-of-17 for 115 yards.
Until the late show of offense, the Oil-'
ers (1-5) got their biggest cheer midway in
the third quarter when Bucky Richardson
completed a 1-yard pass to tight end Pat
Carter, his second reception of the year.
The struggling Oilers have been criti
cized by owner Bud Adams and fans for
not blending the tight end into their offen
sive package.
The Browns did just enough to get their
fourth straight victory and a stronger hold
on the lead in the AFC Central.
The Browns missed two early touch
down chances when Testeverde twice un
derthrew Carrier after the wide receiver
had beaten cornerback Darryll Lewis.
Lewis intercepted the first pass and re
turned it 20 yards to the Oilers 49.
Lewis also intercepted a pass in the
fourth quarter but penalties by the Oilers
killed that opportunity.
Cleveland scored its points in the sec
ond quarter on Testaverde’s 25-yard
pass to Carrier with 8:21 left,. Tom Tu-
pa’s 2-point conversion run and Matt
Stover’s 35-yard field goal as time ran
out in the half.
Testaverde hit Leroy Hord for a 23-
yard pass to start the first-half touchdown
drive, then avoided blitzing linebacker
Michael Barrow and completed a 32-yard
pass to Eric Metcalf.
Carrier sidestepped Lewis on the side
lines and dove into the end zone on the
touchdown play.
On the conversion, the Browns com
pletely fooled the Oilers when Tupa, the
holder on placement kicks, took the center
snap and ran untouched into the
end zone.
Cleveland got another scoring chance
when Houston’s Webster Slaughter fum
bled after being hit by cornerback Don
Griffin. Pepper Johnson returned the
fumble 10 yards to the Browns 45, setting
the stage for the drive that was capped by
Stover’s field goal.
Richardson was 13-of-23 for 114 yards.
He was sacked three times and rushed for
45 yards on four carries.
