The Aggies will play the last game of their regular season against the University of Houston this Sunday at 1 p.m. at the Aggie Soccer Complex. Sunday's Halloween game could be the last home game of the season for the Aggies unless A&M is named as a host team in the NCAA Tournament. Senior defender Ashley Fendley said while the Aggies are looking forward to the game, the seniors are beginning to realize their Aggie soccer career is nearly over. “We were all thinking about how fast it’s gone by,” she said. “We’re kind of sad. We've all been talking about it a lot. It’s kind of drawn us together.” The Aggies are hoping to end the season wrth a victory over Houston, but they know they will have to earn it against a tough Cougar team. Houston (10-6-1) started the season off slow, but then rattled off seven straight Conference USA victories. A&M coach G. Guerrieri said he knows the Cougars are on a roll and beating them will be no easy task. ''They've really caught fire over last month,” he said. “We're ex pecting them to be really oppor tunistic. If we don't get in and play absolutely at 100 percent, then they could knock us off.” The Aggies have lost only one home game this season, which could pose a problem for the Cougars as they are only 4-4 when playing on another team's field. Junior forward Nicky Thrasher said one reason for the Aggies’ suc cess at home this year is the fans. "The atmosphere is just awe some,” she said. “When you walk out to get introduced to play a game, the crowd is into it. It’s so loud.” Guerrieri also said he this § home crowd plays a fa Aggies' games.
