rebound against Oil
By Travis V. Dabney
Staff writer
The Texas A&M Volleyball
Team will attempt to recover from
a tough loss to the University of
Texas in their second conference
match of the season. They will
take on the University of
Oklahoma tomorrow night at 7
p.m. at G. Rollie White Coliseum.
The Aggies had their seven-
game winning streak snapped on
Wednesday by the twelfth-ranked
Longhorns in a five game match
ending with the Horns taking the
last two games by scores of 15-12.
“Mentally we are fine after that
loss, but we do have a few nicks
and scrapes,” Coach Laurie
Corbelli said. “It is real important
that we are resilient right now, and
remain up beat.”
Outside hitter Jennifer Wells
said she believes the Aggies will
make a strong comeback after the
loss to the Horns.
“Last night we all decided that
that match was behind us,” Wells
said. “OU has a great team and we
are going to be fired up when we
play on Saturday night.”
The Sooners come into
Saturday night’s match with a 6-5
record and two straight losses.
Even with the less-than-stellar
record, two of the Sooners’ losses
have come at the hands of
Stanford University and Brigham
Young University, both of whom
are considered among the elite
Ajri
w
teams in the country. Cot
Corbelli says the Aggies willkj ,
their hands full on Saturday^
with Oklahoma.
“OU has a very solid team aril

she said. “They return fivestanj
and they are ready for success,’
Corbelli also said she expo:

2020.
“Talented but young” is not
only a theme of the Texas A&M
Football Team, but also applies to
the Texas A&M Softball Team.
The Aggies begin the fall season
Saturday by hosting the Texas
Aggie Fall Softball Tournament at
Central Park.
The Aggies start the tourna
ment by playing Alvin Community
College at 10:00 a.m. on field one.
They will also play Blinn College,
Texas Lutheran University, and
Centenary College. The
Championship game is at 7:00
p.m. Admission to the tourna
ment is free.
Coach Jo Evans said the team
can practice during the fall even
though softball is a Spring sport.
“The NCAA allows us 22 weeks
out of the year to practice,” Evans
said. “If we start right after
Christmas that leaves us some
time to work out. We choose to go
now when the weathers nice.”
This extra time can be useful in
evaluating the team.
“It’s good teaching time for us.
We spend a lot of time with the kids
and on fundamentals,” Evans said.
Last season, the Aggies fin
ished 37-29 and wound up sixth
in the Big Twelve. However, only
five teams advanced to the
NCAA playoffs.
Despite getting shut out of the
playoffs, Evans said she was
proud of what last year’s team
accomplished.
“We finished pretty well con
sidering our team was really
young,” Evans said.
She hopes that the post season
snub will motivate the team.
“There’s a good chance as the
season wears on that if we play
well and we come together like I
think we can,” Evans said, “we’ll
have a chance to be ranked and
do some good things.”
The team will be lead by a
solid core of returning lettermen
such as shortstop Jamie Smith.
Last season, Smith lead the team
in batting as a true freshman.

ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) — After

assault and battery charges that
could bring him a year behind

“From my point of view, I just
felt like I had to end this ordeal,”
Albert said outside court in a
weary voice after agreeing to a
deal in which prosecutors
dropped the more serious charge
of forcible sodomy, which carried
from five years to life in prison.
