Coming out of high school,
Woolsey was heavily recruited by
more than 20 Division 1-A schools.
Her decision to attend A&M was
due, in large part, to A&M coach
Laurie Corbelli.
“My mom had strong feelings
for Laurie because she played
against her in college and she knew
what kind of person she was,”
Woolsey said. “She knew 1 would
fit in well in her program.”

A&M hopeful at start of season
• Volleyball picked to
finish 2nd in Big 12
behind Nebraska.
BY BREE HOLZ
The Battalion
Although it may seem the Texas
A&M Volleyball Team finished
strongly last season, a feeling of dis
content is sensed among the players
as the 1999 season nears.
“We didn’t finish where we
wanted to last year,” Amber
Woolsey, senior middle blocker,
said. “We didn’t play up to our po
tential in the NCAA tournament.”
The Aggies finished last season
fourth in the Big 12 with an overall
record of 21-9, and advanced to the
second round of the NCAA tour
nament.
This year, the Aggies seem more
focused and determined, and coach
Laurie Corbelli said they have one
goal on their minds.
“We have set our sights an a
conference championship,” she
said. “But the Big 12 is one of the
toughest conferences in the

country; you can’t let up against
any team.”
The Aggies should certainly have
their work cut out for them, consid
ering conference foe Nebraska is
ranked third in the nation in the
AVCA Coaches’ Top-25 preseason
poll. The Aggies are No. 16 in the
poll and are picked to finish second
in the conference behind the Corn-
huskers.
Sophomore setter Jenna Moscov-j*
ic said the Aggies’ ranking shouldj
take some pressure off the team. J
“Fm very happy about the rank-j
ings,” she said. “It gives us a chancej
to sneak up on Nebraska and sur-jj
prise everyone. ”

for Woolsey, who set school and con
ference records in blocking and fin
ished last season ranked third in the
nation in blocks with 1.79 per game.
For her efforts, she was voted
to the All-Big 12 team and was
voted A&M’s Defensive Player of
the Year.
Despite her performance last
year, the role of team leader was
taken by departed outside hitter
Stacy Sykora.
Now that Sykora has graduated,
Woolsey said this year’s team is go
ing to have to lead as a whole unit.

Jones says he was unaware of police |
IRVING (AP) — Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry
Jones said yesterday he had no idea police were pur
suing him after he left the scene of a traffic stop in
the posh town of Highland Park.
It was his first interview about the events that be
gan Sunday when he drove away as a Highland Park
police officer was writing a traffic ticket.
Police had considered charging Jones with fleeing
the scene of a traffic stop but decided on a charge of
interference with public duties.
Both charges are Class B misdemeanors, carry
ing a maximum penalty of a $2,000 fine and 180
days in jail.
In an interview Tuesday on KLIF Radio in Dal
las, Jones said he saw no police car behind his car
after he and his family left his security detail to
deal with the traffic ticket and headed to his grand
son’s baptism.
He said the first inkling of trouble was when a police
officer pulled up behind him at a church in neighbor
ing University Park and ordered him back into his car. k
“The mental picture of me driving through High- J
land Park with an officer behind me with lights on is_T
not correct. As a matter of fact, there was nobody be
hind me from the initial stop [in Highland Park] to the
church. I got out, my family got out. Then a police ca^ i
drove up,” Jones said.
The Cowboys owner said the police officer, who watj *
different from the one who was writing the ticket, told J
him to get back in his car. Jones said he drove around 4 *
nearby comer to get out from in front of the church. > J
“That’s when he proceeded to tell me that we hacj
an obvious disagreement,’’ he said. ^
Jones said his security men were driving the two ;
family vehicles when the speeding stop was made, anil ]
that he believed they were capable of providing the po-l j
lice with all the information the ticketing officer nee(J J 1
