Volleyball, Soccer teams face big weekem
Lady Aggies travel to Nebraska,
Colorado to battle for Big 12 lead
By Jamie Burch
The Battalion
Hitting the road for the first
time this month, the Texas A&M
Volleyball Team kicks off an im
portant weekend against the Uni
versity of Nebraska tonight at 7:30
in Lincoln, Neb. The No. 10 Lady
Aggies then travel to Boulder,
Colo., to cap off the Big 12 Con
ference trip against the University
of Colorado on Saturday.
The Lady Aggies face the de
fending national champion
Cornhuskers at the Nebraska
Coliseum bat
tling for the
lead in the Big
12. The sixth-
ranked Corn
huskers (14-2)
are riding a
23-match
home winning
streak. More
intimidating is
the fact that
the Buskers are 107-0 at home
against conference opponents.
The winning streak spans the
entire history of the now-defunct
Big 8 Conference. The last time
Nebraska lost to a conference op
ponent at home was during the
Gerald Ford administration. Ne
braska’s only two losses on the
season were to top-ranked Uni
versity of Hawaii and to the Uni
versity of North Carolina.
A&M Head Coach Laurie Cor-
belli said the team is aware of Ne
braska’s quick attack.
“They have a lot of talented
players,” Corbelli said. “We re
cruited four of them, so we know
how good they are. Nebraska’s so
big at the net. When you’re big at
the net, you don’t have as much
court behind you to dig. So I
would say their biggest strength
is their blocking.”
Senior middle blocker Page
White said while the team real
izes the magnitude of this week
end, it is trying to stay focused.
“When you look at it know
ing the conference title could
come down to Nebraska and
A&M, it’s very important,”
White said. “Because one of our
goals is to win the Big 12 cham
pionship, and we need to take
care of business. But we look at
this weekend as a challenge. If
we look at it from the other per
spective, we tend to get ner
vous. But as underdogs, we
have nothing to lose.”
“A win would mean a great
deal,” Corbelli said. “It would be a
great accomplishment and a
boost to our confidence. But we
have to turn around and play an
other great team the following
night, so we’re trying to keep both
matches equally important.”
After the match against Ne
braska, the Lady Aggies will try
to gun down the Buffaloes at the
Coors Events Center the follow
ing night. Colorado (9-4) is 4-2
in the Big 12 and will play
eighth-ranked University of
Texas on Friday night.
Corbelli said that Colorado’s
speed is the key to their attack.
"It’s mainly the speed of their set
and the speed of their attack,” Cor
belli said. "They’re quick, and they
run the ball quick to their hitters.
So it will be a challenge for us.”

Soccer team to face Tarheels
Blue Devils in Challenge Cup
)lume 103
By Nicki Smi th
The Batfalion
Boasting a five-game win
ning streak, the seventh-ranked
Texas A&M Soccer Team will
face two of the toughest teams
in the nation this weekend at
the Adidas Challenge Cup at
Meyer Park in Klein, Texas.
The Aggies will not have to wait
long to put their winning streak to
the test as they will face the No. 2
team, North Carolina, and Duke,
the 15th-ranked team in the na
tion, in the prestigious Adidas Col
lege Classic Tournament.
Unfortunately, the Aggies have
an 0-1 record against Duke. In
their matchup last year, the Ag
gies lost to the Blue Devils 2-1.
However, this year the Blue
Devils are coming in with a 6-7-
1 overall record and a three-
match losing streak.
Senior forward Kristen Koop said
despite Duke’s seven losses, the Ag
gies cannot take them lightly.
“Duke is a well-established
team that comes out very
strong,” Koop said. “We are ex
pecting a high intensity and
physical game, but we know we
Vo

can battle it out with them."
