alion.tamu.e:
Aggie defense too much for Mustangs
A&M Soccer Team
BY JASON LINCOLN
The Battalion
The 1999 Texas A&M Soccer Team has
shown signs of an energetic and deter
mined existence in the NCAA soccer
realm this season, not only on offense but
also with a defense that has challenged
1999 opponents.
The Aggies proved their determination
Friday evening in Dallas,
outlasting Southern
Methodist University to
win 2-1.
The win brought an
end to a string of 1-0
overtime decisions
between the two teams
the last two seasons. It
also kept the Aggies atop thrasher
of the Big 12 Conference,
along with the University of Nebraska
and the University of Texas, which also
are undefeated this season with two
conference wins and a third non-confer
ence victory.
The win over SMU did not come easy
for the Aggies, who had to pull off a late
goal to keep the game out of overtime.
“We knew coming in that this would
be a hard-fought game,” A&M soccer
coadh G. Guerrieri said. “SMU always pre
pares very well for us, so another one-
goal game does not really surprise me.”
The Lady Mustangs did keep the
to face Utes today
Aggies from running the score after A&M
defeated Oklahoma State University by a
score of 4-0 and the University of
Oklahoma, 5-0.
However, SMU could not end junior
forward Nicky Thrasher’s string of
goals, who put the ball in the back of
the net in the 19th minute, her third
goal this season, to give the Aggies the
.early lead. The junior also put up six
shots on goal.
The Aggies were able to run with the
early lead, stretching it in the 59th minute
when senior midfielder Mandy Davidson
received a pass from freshman forward
Heather Ragsdale and beat out the SMU
goalkeeper to put the Aggies up by two.
The Mustangs were able to close it up
in the 80th minute when SMU’s Nicole
Lamb headed a Holly Broome corner kick
into the net, but the Aggie defense would
close the ranks for the last ten minutes to
hold on to the win.
A&M senior goalkeeper Melanie Wilson
passed her first challenge of the season
with seven saves against the Mustangs’
eight shots on goal. The Aggies out shot
SMU, 15-13, to bring their season shoot
ing advantage to 83-21.
The Aggies travel to Salt Lake City
Monday for a non-conference battle
against the University of Utah Utes.
The Utes finished 12-7 in 1998 to finish
fifth in the Western Athletic Conference’s
Pacific Division.
A&M sophomore midfielder Amber Childress (right) battles an Oklahoma State University
defender to keep the ball inbounds Friday at the Aggie Soccer Complex.
The only other time the Aggies faced
Utah was in 1997, a match the Aggies
won, 4-0, in College Station.
“We played Utah in ‘97, and they were
very athletic and well-organized,”
Guerrieri said. “We beat them but had to
score great goals for it to occur. I’m
expecting it to be very tight, probably a
one goal game either way.”
The non-conference game should help
strengthen the Aggies road performance for
later in the season and also prepare the team
for the GTE Soccer Classic this upcoming
weekend at the A&M Soccer Complex.
Three’s a
charm for
Houston
Comets claim 3rd title
with win over Liberty
HOUSTON (AP) — One day
after playing one of her worst
games, Cynthia Cooper played
one of her toughest, scoring 24
points as the Comets remained
the league’s only champion,
beating the New York Liberty,
59-47, yesterday to claim their
third consecutive WNBA title.
Even in the heat of the champi
onship game, however, thoughts
were never far from Comets guard
Kim Perrot, who died Aug. 19 fol
lowing a seven-month battle with
cancer.
One banner read “3 for 10”
imploring the Comets to win
their third WNBA title for Perrot,
who wore No. 10. The Comets
did just that by winning the final
game of the best-of-3 series.
In the emotional final
moments, the crowd broke into
chants of “three for Kim, three
for Kim.”
Cooper, who was just l-for-10
from the field in Saturday’s 68-
67 last-second loss, equaled that
with her first shot yesterday and
then helped the Comets break it
open in the second half. She fin
ished 13-of-15 from the foul line.
Comets honor
late teammate
HOUSTON (AP) — As the
Houston Comets cemented
their third WNBA champi
onship yesterday, they fulfilled
a promise to a fallen teammate
and continued to build a
dynasty in a year dominated
by Texas champions.
The only team to win a
title in WNBA history,
Houston kept strong the
memory of point guard Kim
Perrot, who died Aug. 19
from a rare form of lung can
cer that strikes non-smokers.
Series MVP Cynthia
Cooper held up Perrot’s No.
10 jersey, later donning it and
hugging members of Perrot’s
family.
“I have to say we really
wanted to win it for Kim. This
is in memory of Kim; this is in
tribute to Kim,” Cooper told
the crowd.
The Comets put on a late
spurt for a 33-25 halftime lead
and they expanded that to 38-27
with 15:33 left in the game, then
both sides got sloppy. Houston
did not score a span of 6:50,
while the Liberty missed nine
straight shots at one point.
The Liberty closed the gap to
38-31 before Tina Thompson
broke Houston’s scoreless steak
and started a 10-0 run for a 48-31
lead with 4:28 to play.
Thompson also had a jumper
and three-point play for seven of
the 10 points.
Volleyball team overcomes
early struggles at tourney
CORBELLI
BY BREE HOLZ
The Battalion
Despite a lackluster perfor
mance in its season-opening
match, the Texas A&M Volleyball
Team bounced back to win three
straight matches at the
L&L/Michigan
State Volleyball
Classic this
weekend in East
Lansing.
The Aggies
dropped their
first match of
the tournament
with a 7-15, 13-
15, 9-15 loss to
Clemson University. A&M’s
defense struggled early on
against the Tigers.
“Our defense was the weak
est ever,” A&M coach Laurie
Corbelli said. “We had improved
in that area so much during the
spring and preseason, but we
couldn’t find a way to dig a
ball.”
Senior middle blocker Amber
Woolsey led the Aggies against
Clemson with 14 kills, 12 digs
and five blocks. Two other
seniors, middle blocker Laurie
Leahy and outside hitter Celia
Howes, added 13 and 12 kills,
respectively.
After the first-round loss, the
Aggies regrouped and took on
22nd-ranked Michigan State
University. The Aggies posted
their first win of the season and
of the tournament with a 12-15,
15-5, 9-15, 15-3, 15-10 rout over
the Spartans.
Woolsey contributed with 20
kills while Howes added 12 kills
and 20 digs. Leahy posted 10
blocks and sophomore setter
Jenna Moskovic recorded 47
assists. As a team, the Aggies
produced eight service aces to
the Spartans’ four.
Corbelli said she was pleas
antly surprised at the Aggies’
serving prowess.
“I’ve never seen us serve like
that,” Corbelli said. “We were
aggressive and smart, and serv
ing tough like that takes them
out of their offense and makes
our blocking simpler.”
Following an exhausting
Friday night, the Aggies took
care of business early Saturday
morning by crushing Eastern
Kentucky University, 15-6, 15-0,
15-2, in only 45 minutes.
“Sometimes there is a tenden
cy to let up and not focus in
weaker matches,” Corbelli said.
“The team took on the responsi
bility, and it was a total team
effort. Almost everyone played,
and everyone played well.”
Twelve players saw action
against Eastern Kentucky and
each one recorded at least one
kill. Howes led the Aggies with
eight kills and sophomore outside
hitter Michelle Cole contributed
with nine digs. Junior setter
Clair Harvey posted 14 assists.
In their last match of the tour
nament, the Aggies swept
Cleveland State University, 15-6,
15-8, 15-4.
Woolsey recorded 15 kills and
four blocks while Leahy con
tributed five blocks.
For their strong perfor-.
mances, Woolsey and Leahy
were named to the six-member
all-tournament team. Woolsey’
finished the weekend with a'
.355 hitting percentage and
averaged 4.00 kills and 1.36
blocks per game. Leahy posted a
.279 hitting percentage and
averaged 2.15 kills and 1.31
blocks per game.
Corbelli said that, overall, she
was pleased with the Aggies 1
play in their first tournament of
the season.
“We had a lot of positives-
come out of the tournament,” -
she said. “I was glad our wake-
up call came early in the season
and against a tough team.”
The Aggies play their first
home match tomorrow at 7 p.m.
against Southwest Texas State at
G. Rollie White Coliseum.
