Slit The Battalion Sports Tuesday Page 11 September 10, 1996 Despite victory, Fisher with Oilers’ all-around unhappy showing HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston OUers final- y made enough big plays to win. Now, they’re laving trouble with the little ones. “As odd as it seems, I’m more disappoint- d than last week after the loss to Kansas ]ity,” Fisher said Monday. “After looking at he film, we’re talking about special teams ind the defensive film, we were lucky to ome out with a victory.” The Oilers (1 -1) had plenty of big plays in a 14-27 victory over Jacksonville that turned into in exciting finish when the Jaguars almost ivercame a 31-13 third-quarter deficit. Marcus Robertson intercepted two passes, me that killed Jacksonville’s final drive. Mel Iray had a 62-yard kickoff return set up a ouchdown and Eddie George had a 76-yard tin that set up another score. The plays by leorge and Gray are the longest in the NFL his season. Yet, the Oilers needed every one of the high- ights to cover their defensive problems. "This might have been one of the worst lefensive performances I’ve been around in a long time,” Fisher said. “I don’t mean to minimize the win, but we need to do a better job coaching and playing, period.” What had Fisher so upset? Poor tackling “The first half we didn’t tackle very well,” Fisher said. “We had 9-10 missed tackles. We’ll usually have 9-10 with this defense over three or four games, not one game. 1 think we started on our heels and never got rocked up on our toes.” Third-down performance “One of the major points about this defense over the years has been its success on third down,” Fisher said. “Look at stats and it says we held them to one of six on third down but we ale lab puppias, all 775-3927 _ anths old, has all B.Q.

Rollie White Coliseum. Mensik Continued from Page 9 with a record-shattering 80 assists against Loyola Chicago, an astounding feat so early in the season. “It really helped my confi dence,” Mensik said. “I have always wanted an A&M record — to be in the history books. Kristie (Smedsrud) and Stacy (Sykora) were getting a lot of kills and the middle started coming up, and my passers were doing a great job of getting the ball to me. It wasn’t just me, it was the whole team — which made it that much sweeter.” Corbelli was just as ecstatic about Mensik’s total. “It was phenomenal,” Corbelli said. “Our outside hitters were real ly on and she was really connecting with our middles.

Freshman Summer Strickland and junior Jennifer Wells both started games last weekend, and junior Brooke Polak was a starter in the University Park Holiday Inn Classic Tournament in Colorado Aug. 30 to Sept.l. Preseason Accolades Smedsrud was the only Lady Aggie named to the Preseason All-Big 12 team. The University of Texas boasts two players on the team, senior middle blocker Sonya Barnes and sophomore outside hitter Demetria Sance. The University of Nebraska also has two on the squad, senior OH Kate Crnich and junior OH Lisa Reitsma. Junior OH Patrice Arrington of the University of Oklahoma and senior setter/hit ter Rachel Wacholder of the University of Colorado round out the group. For the Record A&M is projected to finish third in the Big 12. Texas is the favorite, while Nebraska is picked to take second in the conference. Through six matches, A&M is 1-1 against ranked teams, including a victory over No. 20 Loyola Marymount in the sea son opener. The Lady Aggies will host five teams this weekend in the Post Oak Mall/Lady Aggie Invitational, including old Southwest Conference rival Rice University. A&M is the defending champion. ;e 8 lo 29 pounds llto 1 hru. All natural gm' .-7591, y Aggie football gam AVEL 4ual College S*!® Register now!

We couldn’t win on first or second down to get them into third down.” Defensive line play. “Throughout the game the defensive line was either hot, tired or hurt or whatever,” Fisher said. “This is our second regular season game and twice we had 10 guys on the field. We were one short on a goal line situation and one short on third down. We played with three defensive linemen.” The Oilers won the game on offense. A bigger, stronger Chris Chandler had another solid performance. His 63-yard touchdown pass to Malcolm Floyd tied for the second longest in the NFL this season. “Last week the defense and special teams put us in position to win,” Fisher said. “This week the offense won the game for us. We’re only going to be successful if we can tie these three groups together and have consistent, successful efforts from all three phases.” THIRSTY?

Next to Marooned CDs in Northgate effort I’ve seen yet this season.” The early season success Mensik has experienced bodes well for future league play in the Big 12 Conference, where eight current teams saw postseason action last year. “Our attitude as a team has stayed the same — to always improve,” Mensik said. “I think it has motivated us more than any thing to put more into every prac tice, every match and every weight-training session. It may have put more pressure on us, but we just use it as motivation.” Along with a new season and a new conference, Aggie fans can look forward to watching a talent ed and confident new setter lead the Lady Aggies every bit as well as her predecessor. “I think she is already develop ing a consistent, level-headed lead ership role on this team,” Corbelli said. “I think her play will deter mine a lot about our success.” Just look at Steve Young. Robertson Continued From Page 9 After early season success in Fort Collins, Colo., and in Wisconsin, Robertson said the team is fired up about the team’s chances this season. “I really think we can [make] the Sweet 16 this year, and our team goal is the Final Four,” Robertson said. "If we play like we did in Wisconsin, there’s no doubt we can get there.” With the Final Four in its sights, the Lady Aggies will rely on all their pistons, including the explo sive Robertson, to lead them to their final destination.
