Showing Us Some New Moves The Aggies continued to show their creativity by introducing a new post-goal celebration during the game against Texas Tech. Senior forward Sharon Picker ing opened the scoring in the Tech game in the 33rd minute as she blasted a shot on a pass from Cameron Chorn over the Tech goalkeeper’s head for a 1-0 lead. The team then gathered in a circle in front of the goal, laid on the ground and did the “swim.” Sophomore forward Nicky Thrasher said each player did a different swim stroke as part of the celebration of the goal. “We did the swim,” Thrasher said. “Some people did the breast stroke and some did freestyle. Claire (Elliot) was doing the butterfly.” The Right Stuff In junior Melanie Wilson, the Aggies have one of the top five goalkeepers in the nation. You can never have too much depth, and freshman goalkeeper Angela Barker has received some playing time this season in an at tempt to gather some experience. Barker has responded well, allow ing only one goal in 162 minutes for a 0.56 goals against average. Focusing on the Big 12 Tourney Coach G. Guerrieri said he was pleased with the win over Tech and that the team is focusing on getting into the Big 12 Tournament. “We’re pleased right now,” Guerrieri said. “If we get another win against Colorado up in the mountains on Friday, then we are in very good position to get back into the Big 12 Tournament, and that is our focus right now.” You Can Only Hope To Contain Me The Player Of the Week is Pick ering.The senior started the Aggies offensive explosion against Tech with a goal in the 33rd minute. Pickering had two goals in the game, giving her six for the season.

THEATRES THIS OCTOBER Breakout Senior Warrick Holdman steps out of Nguyen’s shadow BRANDON BOLLOIVI/The Battalion Warrick Holdman is averaging seven tackles a game this season. BY JASON LINCOLN The Battalion W atch out, Dat Nguyen. War rick Holdman is on the prowl. After an inspired defensive per formance on Saturday in which the Aggies held the University of Ne braska to 114 yards on the ground, Holdman, a senior linebacker, up staged Butkus Award-candidate Nguyen and grabbed Big 12 Con ference Player of the Week honors. Holdman recorded eight total tackles (five unassisted), a sack, two tackles for losses of five yards, one pass breakup, a fumble recovery for a touchdown and one huge upset of the No. 2 team in the nation. “Hopefully they fear the whole defense,” Holdman said, “but if it’s just me they’re looking at, I hope they’re thinking that they need to block me. That tells me I’m doing something right.” Holdman is a dominant pres ence in the outside linebacker po sition for the Aggies. As the team’s second-highest tackier heading into the 1998 sea son, Holdman averaged six tackles a game through the end of last sea son and finished with an 11-tackle performance in the Cotton Bowl. Inside linebacker Dat Nguyen said Holdman does not get noticed for his contributions to the team, as much as he deserves. “He’s pretty much a guy in the shadow,” said Nguyen. “He does everything right and doesn’t get enough credit.” Even though he may not get the credit he deserves for his per formance, Holdman said he does not worry because there is going to be someone who knows he is doing his job. “I just know that if I play hard and do my job,” he said, “somebody’s going to know I’m doing well. “I want to lead the team in tack les and finish strong, but mostly I want to be remembered as some one who upheld the linebacker tra dition that A&M linebackers play hard and aggressive all the time.” • Holdman uses his speed and strength to get on top of the play and make his presence known. see Holdman on Page 8.
