Laurie Corbelli will lead the 16th-ranked
Texas Aggie Volleyball team into action tonight
against Southwest Texas State University with
hopes that the Aggies will make this one of
many victories this season. The team entered
the season as the 13th-ranked team in the
country and after tough losses to the former
first-ranked Stanford and the eighth-ranked
BYU Cougars, the Aggies have returned with a
vengeance to win three straight matches and
win the University of Georgia Tournament.
The team is focused on a number of goals
this season according to Coach Corbelli.
“We want to see progress in all phases of our
game,” Corbelli said. “We want to challenge for
the Big 12 Championship and we would like to
get a good seed in the NCAA tournament.”
The Volleyball team enters the new season
with some very stiff competition from confer
ence rivals Nebraska, Texas and Colorado who
are all ranked in the top 25. When asked about
the upcoming season Corbelli seems to think
it is anyone’s championship to win.
“The conference could be really even this
year,” Corbelli said “ So much is momentum
and heart, it is really going to be battle.”
The Aggies have reason to be optimistic this
season as they will return five of six starters
from the 1996 squad. Leading this year’s team
will be seniors Farah Mensik and Kristie Smed-
srud. Smedsrud has seen quite a bit change in
her time here at A&M in terms of the volleyball
program.
“When I came here this program was in its
building stages, we have now worked our way
up to a top 10 program,” Smedsrud said. “Now
we have the talent to remain on top and the
whole process has been fun for me to watch.”
Even with all the talk of tournament bids
and conference championships Smedsrud
seems to have things in perspective. “To
achieve some of our bigger goals this season we
are going to have to achieve little goals” Smed
srud said. “We have to play well in the pre-sea
son and then conference play and then the
tournament, one step at a time.”
“When I came here,
this program was in its
building stages, we
have now worked our
way up to a top 10

Smedsrud comes into this season as one of
A&M most heralded Volleyball players in its
history. She has been named to the Asics All
American Team and was also invited to train
with the USA national team. She has also been
a three year starter at A&M and will likely set
the record for all time kills with over 1400.
When asked about lasts season’s loss in the
second round of the NCAA tournament Smed

“Obviously, we’d like to go in there
and knock them in the dirt and take
control the whole ball game,” Coach
R.C. Slocum said. “I’ve been in
enough of those games (to know)
that’s not an unusual thing to hap
pen. I’ve always said that first drive or
two you take with a grain of salt.”
A&M coaches said that they
thought the team had accomplished
everything it set out to do.
“Our offense scored quite a num
ber of points,” Slocum said. “Our de
fense only gave up two field goals. We
know we weren’t playing a top 10
team; we’re aware of that but we still
like we feel have quite a lot to get out
of this.”

him into trouble. He made good
decisions and did not become
anxious when his first receiver
