Obviously, Smith has earned
her mark on the A&M team, but
she almost decided against com
ing to A&M.
“My fir st choice was Cal-Poly [San
Luis Obispo] because I didn’t want to
leave home,” Smith said. “But I
changed my mind when I came on
my recruiting trip here, and even
though it has been hard, the team has
really kept me from being homesick.”
One person who has been able
to help Smith adjust to being so far
from home is freshman second-
baseman Angie Long.
Not only are Long and Smith
both from California, but the two
freshmen also hold starting posi
tions in the heart of the infield.
Long said the strongest bond
between them is their ability to
communicate.
“She makes it easier for me be
cause I have never played second
base before,” Long said. “She talks
to me a lot and we are with each
other most of the time. On the field,
she has a good arm and good range,
so she is able to cover balls hit by
lefties and shippers, which makes
her a key player on our defense.”
Overall, Jackson said the Lady
Aggies are comfortable with Smith
at shortstop.
“The team knows that when the
