Guerrieri said the Iowa State game is im portant because it serves as a step toward A&M’s goal of winning the con ference regular-season title. "It’s their home coming weekend and they will be a big threat,” Guerrieri said. “In my opinion, they are one of the most improved teams in the entire Midwest.” Although this is only the second year of play for the Lady Cyclones, eight starters and 11 players who lettered last year returned, and a trio of powerful fresh men lead its offense. The Aggies met with Nebraska last year and defeated the Corn- huskers 1-0. Senior forward Yvette Okler said Ne braska’s 7-0 record and 10 returning starters will be a decisive factor in the match-up. “Nebraska is going to be our best game against Big 12 teams,” Okler said. “All we have to do though, is stop looking at our bat tles and let them do their stuff. If we play fast, they won’t be able to keep up.” Guerrieri said the Aggies will have to be at the top of their game, since the Cornhusker newcomers Stew Milne, The Battalion Senior midfielder Allison Buckley takes the ball upfield after stealing it from a Missouri forward. and home crowd will be tough. “We’ve always had good results against them, but junior goal keeper Becky Hornbacher and freshman forwards Lindsay Ed- dleman and Isabelle Morneau will make the Cornhuskers dan gerous at every position,” Guerri eri said. “We also anticipate a huge crowd and Nebraska’s best effort when we come calling.” ady Ags get no time to celebrate *--v Pat James, The Binij ante Hall i : UNT last Satuftii| ling kicks iswl eye of coachesij all has returnedij i yards, an averafl ■ return, withal ^ards this season I Iso returnedilf >1 yards, a 20.3® s accounted foi] yards this sea>] - 93.3 per game, aid Hall has! iccessful, aswi ing extra, ;ood balance^ the game, as' 1 Rucker said. “H utes of a great 1* i thing he bricj'] hat he’s a tet laying) not ( pedal teams ting as many! > still learning that he’s ] our football te® 1 ug '” aportunity ofp» : game presents for the Aggies' rrado in front of on audience on 1 ' as high expect- d the team, me for me is pi 1 ’ a great oppotf 1 be a test this" 1 >r a lot of excite 11 ’ n.

By Ross Hecox The Battalion The Texas A&M Volleyball Team’s victory over the University of Texas was sweet, but there is lit tle time to savor it. The team heads to Norman, Okla., to face the University of Ok lahoma tonight at 7:30. Fresh off a historical sweep of the Longhorns, the Lady Aggies had little time to prepare for the Sooners. But the team is familiar with OU after scrimmaging with them in April. Senior middle blocker Page White said A&M will carry its mo mentum from the Texas game into the Oklahoma match. “We feel it’s going to be easy (to continue to play well), because we still feel that pride from beating Texas,” White said. “Even now off the court I can see a confidence in all the players.” The Lady Aggies did not prac tice Thursday but will meet for an hour this morning to prepare for the Sooners. A&M Head Coach Laurie Corbelli said the absence of intense workouts will rejuvenate the team. “I’m kind of thankful,” Corbelli said. “I felt like in the warm-up (before the Texas match) the play ers were a little tired. We’ll get some rest and I think we’re going to be really sharp.” The Sooners lost its first two matches of the season but has won its last nine games. Oklahoma won five of those matches in three games and the rest in four. Last weekend OU won the Kansas Tournament af ter beating Cal State Fullerton, De- Paul and Texas-Pan American. The Sooners average 15.1 kills and 15.4 digs per game, and have a .260 hitting percentage. Corbelli said Oklahoma will be prepared for a competitive match. “With the fact that they’re on their home court, it’s a big TV match and it’s their (Big 12) conference opener, they are going to be fired up,” Cor belli said. “(Since we defeated Texas) they would really like to beat us.” Against the University of Texas at Arlington and the Longhorns, A&M was successful with its diverse at tack coming from the middle blockers and the left side hitters. White said this style of offense will keep defenses honest. “[Attacking the middle] is essen tial from this point forward,” White said. “We have the two best left side hitters in the nation, and teams know that. So we need to spread out our attack more.” -4 J mm Much? a 2 month rf on for anxiet) 50 a.m. It was just a summer job. Now it’s the rest of your life.
