The 12th-ranked Texas A&M Volleyball Team continues its quest for an inaugural Big 12 Conference crown this weekend at G. Rollie White Coliseum, host ing the University of Missouri and Iowa State University. The University of Missouri storms into College Station tonight at 7 p.m. looking for an upset victory. The Big 12 battle will continue Saturday at 7 p.m. against Iowa State University, which arrives at the Holler House after its battle with eighth-ranked University of Texas. The Missouri Tigers return five starters and eight letterwinners from last year’s squad. Missouri, searching for its first conference victory, is winless this season at 0- 12. Eight of Missouri’s losses have been three-game sweeps. A&M Head Coach Laurie Cor- belli said Missouri’s 6-foot sopho more outside hitter Sarah Frei- borg looms as the biggest threat for the Lady Aggies. “Missouri has one hitter in particular, (Sarah) Freiborg,” Cor- belli said. “We saw her this spring. She’s their go-to hit ter that we have to stop.” In addition to Freiborg, the Lady Tigers’ at tack consists of sophomore outside hitter Jodi Maunc. Maunc leads the team with a .234 hitting percent age and a 4.02 kill average. The Lady Cyclones of Iowa State finished last season tied for second place in the Big 8 Confer ence and ranked 28th in the USA Today poll. Iowa State returns eight letterwinners but just three White starters from last season. ISU is winless in the conference and is 4-12 on the season. Leading the offense for Iowa State is senior middle blocker Rachelle Van Scoyoc. Scoyoc’s .260 hitting percentage leads the team. The Lady Aggies will also have to defend against the Lady Cyclones’ senior outside hitter Sonya Van Helden, who averages a team-high 4.31 kills per game. The Lady Aggies are 7-0 at home and are favored to win the match, but Corbelli said she fears playing unranked teams. “I think it’s too easy to overlook these teams,” Corbelli said. "It’s scarier for a coach to play teams like that than the top teams, be cause you’re not sure if your team is prepared. You have to really sharpen your preparation.” Senior middle blocker Page White said she realizes the impor tance of any conference match. “The games this weekend are very important,” White said. “Right now we’re tied for first with Nebraska in the conference. The two teams coming in this week end are not ranked, so we’re ex pected to win. But thi teams get fired up for are ranked. We’re going to ta play hard. It’s very important we do just that."

The Aggies will face Texas Tech University today at the Aggie Soccer Complex at 4 p.m. and Baylor University on Sunday at 1 p.m. A&M is currently ranked seventh in the NSCAA/Umbro National poll with an overall record of 12-1 and a Big 12 record of 5-1. Head Coach G. Guerrieri said the games this weekend will prove to be two good tests leading into the team’s toughest stretch of the schedule. “This is a good way for us to get into things,” Guerrieri said. “Along with the Uni versity of Nebraska and the University of Texas, Tech is among the elite teams in the conference. They were pretty high in the pre season picks.” Not only did the Red Raiders return all of their key players, but they also added two new forwards, Kristy Frantz and Amy Rutstein, and a talented goalkeeper to their roster. Entering the battle with the Aggies, the Red Raiders have a record of 9-3, 3-1 in the Big 12, and are currently ranked fourth in the Big 12 Conference. However, the Red Raiders re mained winless against the Aggies. Senior defender Tina Robinson said de spite the series record, the Aggies will have to play tough and not take Tech lightly. “We haven’t played our better games against Tech,” Robinson said. "We are starting a new lineup and can’t let the changes get to us. 1 lope- fully, we will be able to create more offense and put more of our shots into the net.” Junior forward Diana Rowe said the new lineup will Jielp cliange things up. “We have had success so far with the way we have been playing,” Rowe said. “It is easy to get comfortable and laid back with things.” The Lady Bears bring an undefeated record of 9-0 to College Station and are currently sec ond in the Big 12 Conference rankings. e weekend a n the offer ends" la].
