Staff and Wire Reports Former Texas A&M standout softball player Jennifer McFalls was named an alternate to the 1996 United States Olympic Soft- ball Team Monday. McFalls, a native of Grand Prairie, is one of five alternates selected for the 15-member team which will debut in the Summer Olympics in Atlanta next summer. The 15-member team was announced at a press confer ence Monday. It completed a se lection process that has lasted for more than three years as scouts and coaches searched the nation in order to field the best possible team. “The selection phase of the program is now complete,” Don E. Porter, executive director of the American Softball Associa tion of America, said. “Now we enter the next phase of prepar ing America’s team. ” McFalls led the Aggies in bat ting average, hits, total bases and slugging percentage every season during her 4-year career at A&M. In 1993, she became the ninth player in school history to be named a first-team All-American. That year, her junior season, was perhaps the greatest offensive season ever by a Southwest Con ference performer. McFalls batted .427 and scored 51 runs, both school records. Because of the intense selec tion process, Porter said it was ex ceptionally hard to narrow the fi nal field of 66 down to the 15 ros ter players and five alternates. “The selection of this team was among the most difficult decisions this sport has ever had to make,” Porter said. “The USA is blessed with an abun dance of talented players.” Former Texas A&M softball standout Jennifer McFalls slides safely into second base in the Lady Ohio State in the first round of the 1992 Aggie Invitational.

By David Winder The Battalion Texas A&M is on the path to the national championship, and you control every move. You run like Leeland McElroy, tackle like Brandon Mitchell and kick like Kyle Bryant. But unlike the col lege football video games of years past, a victory for the Ag gies is not always guaranteed in College Football USA ’96 from Electronic Arts. The ’96 version of the popular football series was designed to be more realistic than any other game in existence. This means the computer can still kick your butt even after the 100th time you have played it. There are no automatic victories. But there are tons of exciting features to fulfill your football fantasies. All 108 Division I schools are represented, so A&M versus Eastern Michigan is no longer just a pipe dream. There are also more plays, 400 with eight offensive sets, more penalties and more re ceivers to choose from. The guys at EA Sports also added a substitution option to go along with the 45-player rosters.

Staff and Wire Reports The Texas A&M Soccer Team moved to 2-0 on the 1995 season with an 8-3 victory over Arkansas in the Plano Labor Day Invitational. The win extended the 19th- ranked Aggies’ winning streak to 12 matches, dating back to Oct. 9, 1994. Junior forward Kristen Koop recorded three goals to lead the team, only the third hat trick ever by an Aggie player. “Once again, this match was another positive piece of evi dence for the benefits of attack ing soccer,” A&M Head Coach G. Guerrieri said. “I was really proud of all of our players for their ability to control the pace of the field.” The Aggies quickly jumped out to a 2-0 lead, and led 4-1 at halftime. The Razorbacks used two quick scores to move within 4-3, but A&M countered with three goals in a four-minute span to put the game on ice. “It is nice to know that we can attack with great success,” Guerrieri said. “With 15 goals in two games against good teams, we have proven that we have a great deal of creativity.” A&M returns to the Dallas area this weekend to compete in the SMU Fhima Classic. N ixon must somehow be behind it, or maybe even the CIA or the SPCA. All I know is that I’m involved in some kind of con spiracy because no matter where I go — be it on a shut tle bus, on an airplane or in a room full of people — there’s always that one guy. He’s that goofy guy who thinks he knows everything about everything, especially sports, and feels compelled to open his mouth and criti cize the world and people’s failures. Such was the case last Saturday at Kyle Field when our heroes in maroon played LSU. Even before kickoff, I had pegged the guy behind me as the one because of a 10- minute discourse covering the coaching wizardry of Jackie Sherrill. Maybe it was the heat and humidity, but the guy had me and the rest of section 238 wanting to wrap a tire iron around his skull. Hot dogs and Lemon Chills managed to keep him quiet for most of the first quarter, but toward the mid dle of the second, he stepped over the line when Corey See Leone, Page 10 ENGINEERING STUDENTS Have You Considered The Dynamic World Of Management Consulting?
