Aggies sweep weekend gam
BY REECE FLOOD
The Battalion
The Texas A&M Soccer Team
continued its dominance this week
end, defeating Big 12 rival Universi
ty of Texas, 5-0, in Austin Friday and
then returning home to beat Texas
Christian University, 4-0, at the Ag
gie Soccer Complex last night.
The Aggies did not seem to be af
fected by playing a big rivalry game
on the road. Instead, the team
stepped up to the challenge and
compiled 11 shots on goal, while
holding the Longhorns to only four
shots on goal.
Sophomore midfielder Michelle
Royal, sophomore midfielder
Cameron Chorn and freshman mid
fielder Jessica Martin each provided
one goal in Friday’s game, while junior
forward Nicky Thrasher managed to
put two shots in the back of the net.
A&M came back to College Station
last night for its first home game in
two weeks, but the Aggies looked as
though they had never left as they
shut out the Homed Frogs.
Having a big game for the Aggies
against TCU was redshirt freshman
midfielder Jamie Marden, who scored
two goals.

the crossbar and back into the middle

in the right place at the right time as
she powered the ball through a crowd
and into the back of the net.

the final goal of the game on a cross
from Royal.
Also scoring goals against TCU
were Thrasher and Martin
A&M soccer coach G. G
said he was pleased with ftt
performance this weekend
“The measure of a teat:
good or if it’s great,.is how
play after a big gatne,” lie
think that, coming off such
performance in Austin, itw;
challenge for us to get nx
again tonight.”
Volleyball falls to Longhorns in 4 gam
BY BREE HOLZ
The Battalion
The Texas A&M Volleyball Team’s
10-match winning streak was
snapped Saturday night when it fell
to the eighth-ranked Texas Long
horns 15-8, 15-17: 14-16, 6-15.
The Aggies’ record now stands at
10-2 and 1-1 in Big 12 play.
In game one, the Aggies jumped
to a 3-0 lead before the Longhorns
rallied for seven straight points. But
the Aggies came back to score 12 of
the next 13 points and secure the
win. The Aggies posted a .156 hit
ting percentage in the first game and
held the Longhorns to a paltry .000
hitting percentage.
The Longhorns began the second
game with a quick 6-0 lead after
three A&M errors before the Aggies
took over and went on a 10-3 run to
reach game point. But A&M could
not hold on to the lead and the Long
horns survived three game points
and eventually pulled out the win.
“The most disappointing thing is
that we beat ourselves," A&M vol
leyball coach Laurie Corbelli said.
“At those critical points, we have to
avoid the errors."
In game three, the Aggie and
Longhorn offenses both seemed to
step it up. Trie Aggies riil .304 wriile
the Longhorns hit .396. After five lead
changes and with the game tied at 14,
two Longhorn kills broke the tie and
posted game point, and the Universi
ty of Texas squeaked out the win.
The Longhorns jumped to a 6-0
lead in the fourth game off of Aggie
hitting errors, but A&M fought back
to close within one following Long-
