After dropping consecutive matches to
Baylor University and the University of Texas
last week, the 13th-ranked Texas A&M Volley
ball Team not only ended its losing skid Sun
day, but refused to surrender a single game to
the University of Oklahoma.
The Lady Aggies swept the Sooners 15-6, 15-
9, 17-15 Sunday in G. Hollie White Coliseum.
Senior middle blocker Page White said af
ter a five-match road trip, the home court
proved to be an added boost for the team.
“We needed to play at home and have the
fans energize us,” White said. “And I saw
more fire in us than there had been the last
two matches.”
Already up two games, but down 14-11 in the
third game, the Lady Aggies could have given up
and regrouped for the next frame. But White
slammed a shot off Oklahoma’s block to negate
the Sooners’ attempt at sealing the victory.
A&M proceeded to battle back and tie the
game at 14 on the strength of two White blocks.
The Sooners responded with a kill by
Sarah Rappard to take a 15-14 lead, but
again White denied them the game-point
with another kill.
Junior setter Farah Mensik blocked an Ok
lahoma attack to even the score, and her next
block two serves later won the game and
match for the Lady Aggies.
Mensik said Oklahoma’s attacks to her po
sition were no surprise.
“During the match, I was getting
tooled,” Mensik said. “I knew they were go
ing to come after me because I’m the weak
er blocker, and I told Cindy (Vander-
Woude). We both saw my playerct
ward me, and (the attack] was there
With a 3-0 A&M lead in the openin:
White hammered a shot down
middle court, which sparked a run

The Texas A&M Men’s and
Women’s Swimming and Diving
Teams rolled past Texas Christ
ian University Friday night in a
dual meet that found the Aggies
winning 23 of 32 events.
A&M Men’s Head Coach Mel
Nash said the victory was a team
effort.
“We were very pleased with
the performances and happy to
see these results at this type of
meet,” Nash said. “It is hard to
single out performances be
cause we had so many encour
aging performances. The team
supported each other and
stayed behind each other, and
that helped to stay focused."
The men outscored TCU by a
score of 183-101. Leading the
Aggies were Jason Miles, who
recorded a personal best in the
1000-meter freestyle, and Eric
Schneider, who qualified for the
U.S. Open in the 200-meter indi
vidual medley.
The women posted a winning
score of 154-124, winning 10 of
16 events.
Stacie Karnes won both the
50 and 100-meter freestyle
events and was on the third leg
of the winning 400-meter med
ley relay.

ry said she was pleased with the
composure of the team Friday.
Guillory, who is from Lake
Charles, La., is looking forward
to next week’s match-up against
nationally-ranked Louisiana
State University.
“We all swam really good to
day and showed a lot of depth
by being able to come out and
swim off events and still be suc
cessful,” Guillory said. “We are
feeling really confident right
now, and are looking forward to
the LSU meet next week.
“Since I chose to swim for
A&M over them, the meet means
a lot to me.”
A&M diving made an impres
sive showing after an intense
workout period, and Diving
Head Coach Kevin Wright said
the team showed signs of im
provement that will be valuable
later on in the season.
“Overall, it was a

Warriors use third quarter run to surge past Spurs, 102
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — The Golden State
Warriors must have listened to coach Rick
Adelman.
Latrell Sprewell led an 18-0 burst in the
third quarter Sunday night that sent the
Warriors over the San Antonio Spurs 102-92.
“At halftime we just talked about picking
up the pace,” Adelman said. “This was an
important win for us no matter how beat up
they are. They normally play well here, so it
was important to take this one.”
Sprewell scored 10 points in the decisive
run, capping it with a 3-point shot for a 69-
51 lead with 5:13 left in the third period.
Sprewell finished with 20 points and re
serve BJ. Armstrong had 24.
Joe Smith added 17 points and Chris
Mullin 15 for the Warriors.
“We got some big stops tonight, and that
was the difference,” Armstrong said. “Maybe
we can get something going with this win
with us going back home now. The Spurs are
a little banged up, but we got one from them
on their home court and that’s big for us.”
San Antonio, which has lost five of six
games, got 17 points each from Avery John
son and Vernon Maxwell. Vinny Del Negro
had 16.
The Warriors trailed by as many as 13
points in the second quarter and were be
hind 47-43 at halftime.
Felton Spencer’s jumper put Golden State
ahead 49-47, and it was tied at 51 before
Sprewell led the big run.
Sprewell scored 15 points in the third
quarter, during which the Warriors
outscored the Spurs 33-16 for a 76-63 lead.
“We started the first half very active de
fensively, but the third quarter is just hard to
explain,” said Spurs coach Bob Hill, who was
once again forced to play without:
jured David Robinson. “We were like
in mud. We just let the game go.”
Armstrong, who played on three
championship teams in Chicago,!'
Warriors with six assists.
“I thought BJ. came in and playec
Mullin said. “Our guard play has been
thing that coach Adelman has barf
and tonight they came through.
“If we can continue to countc—
guards to come up with their point!

Joe Smith, we can be a big force coffl ( P
