I think even though we’re very young, we’ve showed a lot of con fidence on the court.” This game also features a re match of two senior All-Americans, Sykora for the Aggies and Demetria Sance for the Longhorns. In the first contest, Sance had a game-high 25 kills for Texas, and Sykora posted 38 digs which tied an A&M match record. “Anytime you play Texas, you know you’re going to have to stop her [Sance] just like other teams know they have to stop Stacy,” Cor belli said. “She’s an incredible play er, and we’ll have to handle her as best we can. “Erin Aldrich also could give us some problems. She blocks ex tremely well, and she’s very hard to defend. If we can cut down on our mistakes, and each player does her part, we can beat them.” Despite the two A&M losses, the Aggies continue to play solid de fense, especially at the net. A&M had 31 blocks in two matches. Ju nior middle blocker Amber Woolsey posted five solo blocks and assisted on 13 others in the two matches. “Even though we lost, we left our hearts out on the court,” Cor belli said. “Against Colorado, we didn’t play to our potential, but we played as well as we can against Nebraska. “Playing in the Big 12, we’re com peting against some of the best teams in the country. If we can continue to play the way we’re capable of play ing, then we can win any match.” Be an SI Leader! Learn what it’s ail about.
