The Battalion
After its longest road trip of the
season, the Texas A&M Volleyball
Team returned to G. Rollie White
Coliseum Saturday night tied with its
opponent, the University of Col
orado, for fourth in the Big 12 con
ference.
After defeating the Buffaloes in
four games, 16-14, 14-16,15-11,15-
7, the Aggies are now tied with the
University of Nebraska for third
place in the conference.
The Aggies put the Buffaloes
away behind a dominating defen
sive effort, posting a team season
record for a four-game match of
100 digs. Sophomore outside hitter
Michelle Cole set the tone defen
sively for the Aggies with a career-
high 24 digs.
While Cole said she has not been
pleased with her defensive perfor
mance for most of this season, she
seemed electrified after the match.
“[The digs] felt great, it really
felt good,” Cole said. “My defense
has been sketchy this past year,
and tonight, it felt like the hall was
just finding me."
Not only were the digs key for the
Aggies, but once again, senior outside
hitter Summer Strickland stepped up
in a big situation with some crucial
blocks in the fourth game, getting the
crowd involved and helping the Ag
gies quell a Colorado rally.
“I love blocking," Strickland
said, “ft’s my favorite thing to do in
volleyball, and if I get excited and
show it and if the crowd likes that,
then I guess that’s good because it
gets them in the game."
While the Aggies’ defense was
solid, their offense left something
to be desired early in the night.
“In game one, we hit 4 percent,”
A&M volleyball coach Laurie Cor-
belli said. “1 don’t think we’ve hit 4
percent in a game once this season.
It was almost like, who wants to
win this thing less?”
But as the game went on, the
Aggies found their groove.

Corbelli said she is pleased with obviously on their mindsii:
her team responded and is
how
looking ahead now to the rest of
the season.
“I’m really excited about start
ing the second half of the season,”
she said. “I am really pleased we
were able to come away with this
important win tonight.”
Not only was this win important
for the Aggies’ position in the Big
12 standings, it was also crucial to
their eventual postseason seeding.
“We only have three losses in
the best conference in the coun
try,’’ Corbelli said. “So we have a
chance to finish one, two or three,
putting us in the top 15 in the coun
try and giving us a great seed in the
NCAA tournament.”
