Leading the way for the Aggies was sophomore Scott Lengefeld who finished 10th with a time of 15:03 in the 3.2 mile event. The one thing we don’t have 5ft., $2000.8.0.51 on the men’s side is depth, so my top five are going to have to get it done," A&M Head Coach Greg Hinze said. Junior Millie Ondras led the way for the Lady Aggies by finish ing 10th with a time of 11:41. Hinze said he was pleased with the women's performance despite the inexperience of the team. Running with five freshmen, I was reasonably pleased,” Hinze said. "But we’re not going to use youth as an excuse." Lady Ags fall to Badgers in final For the second consecutive weekend, the Texas A&M Volleyball Team went 2-1 in tournament play, this time at the Inntowner Invitational in Madison, Wis. Following victories over Loyola Chicago and the University of Maryland, A&M fell in the champi onship match to host team Wisconsin Saturday night. After dropping the first two games to , the Badgers came back to take a 12-15, 11-15, 15-11, 15- 8,16-14 victory. Despite the loss, A&M junior outside hitter Kristie Smedsrud set a school record during the match with a 35-kill performance.

Oilers, Cowboys break even George, Chandler orchestrate Houston offensive display Aikman passes Giants dizzy JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The Houston Oilers showed the capacity for the big play on Sunday. So did Heisman Trophy winner Eddie George. George broke open the game with a 76-yard run that set up Chris Chandler’s third touch down pass, and the Oilers hung on for a 34-27 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. George, the No. 6 overall pick in the draft, finished with 143 yards on 17 carries and one touchdown. The Oilers (1-1) had a play of at least 20 yards on five of their first seven possessions, and they put the game away with two big plays by the defense. Leading 34-20, Blaine Bishop jarred the ball loose from tight end Pete Mitchell at the 2-yard line, and Rafael Robinson recov ered with 3:08 remaining. The Jaguars (1-1) made it close when Chris Hudson returned a punt 46 yards to the 3, and Keenan McCardell made a juggling catch for a touch down to get within 34-27. Dave Thomas recovered the onside kick, but Mark Brunell’s pass on the first play after the two-minute warning bounced high off Mitchell’s hands, and Marcus Robertson dove for the interception at the 10-yard line. It was Robertson’s second inter ception of the game. Chandler was 14-of-22 for 226 yards, and he continually burned the Jaguars’ over the middle. The last big gain on offense, a 20-yard pass to Chris Sanders, started a 16-play drive that last ed more than 10 minutes and ended with A1 Del Greco’s 29- yard field goal. Brunell was 27-of-38 for 302 yards. The Jaguars had no trou ble moving the ball, but Houston’s defense came up with timely plays twice inside the 20. At first-and-10 from the 11 with Houston leading 17-10, Gary Walker broke through the line and stuffed James Stewart for a 3-yard loss. The Jaguars then were called for procedure and wound up settling for a 37- yard field goal. Houston led 24-13 at halftime. Brunell hit six different receivers on the first drive of the second half to get down to the 6. But Micheal Barrow tackled Stewart for a 2-yard loss, then Brunell didn’t check off in time and was penalized for delay of game, and Mike Hollis missed a 31-yard field goal. If that didn’t demoralize the Jaguars, George might have fin ished them off. On first-and-20 from the 11- yard line, Jeff Lageman and Joel Smeenge had their hands on George on a draw in the backfield. He skirted outside, made safety Travis Davis miss, then galloped to the 13 for a 76-yard run. Chandler hit Willie Davis on an 11-yard touchdown pass two plays later for a 31-13 lead. The Jaguars, which held Pittsburgh to 187 yards last week, never had an answer for Chandler. Houston only had to punt once in the first half while taking a 24- 13 lead. Aikman IRVING(AP) — Cancel the burial detail. The Dallas Cowboys finally looked like Super Bowl champions again. Troy Aikman rediscovered Dallas’ lost offense by throwing three touch down passes Sunday, and the Cowboys, stung by a bumbling loss to Chicago, cel ebrated their home opener with a 27-0 victo ry over the New York Giants. The much-criticized first- team offense, which hadn’t scored a touchdown since the exhibition season opener against Oakland, went 50, 81, and 71 yards for touchdowns to lead 21-0 at intermission. Emmitt Smith showed no problems with his neck injury and rushed for 94 yards on 25 carries. Aikman completed 19 of 27 passes for 228 yards for the revamped Cowboys offense. Chris Boniol hit field goals of 23 and 29 yards in the sec ond half as the Cowboys played conservatively. The Giants’ Dave Brown hit only 10 of 19 passes for 55 yards, and the Dallas defense held Rodney Hampton to 44 yards on 15 carries. The last time Hampton played in Texas Stadium last December, he rushed for 187 yards. Graf storms past Seles, 7-5, 6-4 NEW YORK (AP) — Steffi Graf timed her final volley perfectly, knocking off Monica Seles once more and beating a rainstorm by seconds Sunday to secure a fifth U.S. Open title. Near the end of one of the greatest and worst years of her life, Graf captured her third straight Grand Slam title and the 21st of her career to strengthen arguments that she is the best women’s tennis player in history. Amid thunder and lightning, Graf’s forehand volley clipped the net cord and hopped out of Seles’ reach to finish off the 7-5, 6-4 victory. Graf’s timing and accuracy were nearly perfect the whole match. She served 10 aces and kept Seles scrambling from corner to corner. “Steffi clearly is No. 1. Anyone can see that,’’ said Seles, who still shares the No. 1 ranking with Graf. They began this match in hot, humid, sunny weather, and Graf set the tone by making Seles work hard to hold serve in the first game before tying it 1-1 by hold ing at love. Graf broke to 2-1 and stayed ahead to 5-3 as Seles tried all kinds of novel tactics for her — serving and volleying, chipping and charging, dropping shots — with little success. Seles also kept attacking Graf’s strength, her forehand, but that didn’t work, either. But serving for the set at 5-4, Graf finally suffered one lapse when Seles bore down and forced her to chase down shots in the corners. With the first break point Seles managed, she capitalized on it with a solid over head smash to make it 5-5. But Graf broke right back after getting four break points and watching Seles sail a backhand long at the end of a long rally. Graf didn’t waste that opportunity, closing out the set with a service winner up the middle. Seles’ serve-and-volley attempt to start the second set failed, and Graf broke her, then held serve to win her fourth straight game. That was all the lead Graf needed as she raced the approaching thunder storm to close out the match. Sampras secures No. 1 ranking with Open victory over Chang NEW YORK (AP) — Staggered and sick one match, tight and worried the next, Pete Sampras put on an impeccable show of force and grace in the final Sunday night to claim his fourth U.S. Open championship. From his first 125 mph service winner to his last at 117 mph, Sampras defended his title by blowing away Michael Chang 6-1, 6-4, 7-6 (7-3) in two hours — a half-hour less than the rain delay after Steffi Graf’s straight-set victory over Monica Seles for the women’s title. Sampras secured his No. 1 ranking and salvaged a tortured year by dominating Chang in every aspect of the match, even winning long rallies to prove he could beat Chang at his own game. To see Sampras sprinting so lightly, moving so quickly and hammering shots so hard for his eighth Grand Slam title, no one who hadn’t heard of his prob lems a few days earlier would believe he could have been so close to defeat in the quarterfinals. “I never thought I’d be here as a winner,” Sampras said. “This is the most difficult (champi onship) I ever won. The ranking was up for grabs, but the title is so much more important than the ranking. I wanted the title. “This was one of the best matches I played in my career. I had to adapt and I did that today. Everything was clicking. These are the kind of days you dream about, especially in the final.” The grit Sampras exhibited in beating Alex Corretja in the quarters, even after vomiting and wobbling wearily on court in their fifth-set tiebreaker, showed up in his unflinching attack against Chang.
