LAST CHANCE-—LAST CHANCE—-LAST CHANCE LAST CHANCE And your parents said sitting around listening to music wouldn’t get you anywhere. The Texas A&M Soccer Team will play at the Aggie Soccer Complex for the last time this sea son tonight at 8. The Aggies (15-4-1) will play the University of Montana Grizzlies (12-5-1) in the first round of the 1999 NCAA Women’s College Cup. This will be Montana’s first trip to NCAA postseason play, while the Aggies will participate for the fourth straight year — hosting a first-round game every time. A&M senior midfielder Mandy Davidson said the team is prepared for tonight’s matchup. “This is what you work for,” she said. “Your whole season comes down to this one game and each game beyond that. So we need to just be pumped, and I think our team is definitely ready to take on whoever we meet.” A&M and Montana have met only once before, on Nov. 5, 1994. The Aggies were victorious in that meeting, 5-1. The Aggies have not seen much from Mon tana and are not sure what to expect from the Grizzlies. A&M soccer coach G. Guerrieri said the Montana team is similar to that of Southern Methodist University. “They’re probably a lot like SMU in that they have good athletes, they’re very dangerous, they’re well-organized and they fight for their lives,” he said. A&M junior forward Nicky Thrasher said she is happy to face a team she has never played be fore and thinks it will be a nice change of pace. “I think that’s going to be the best part about it,” she said. “It’s nice to play a team that you’re not too familiar with and they’re not too familiar with you. Iowa State and Nebraska, when you play them three times a year, they know what your going to do every time you get the ball.” Guerrieri said the Aggies are excited about be ing a host team this year because playing a play off game at home is a huge advantage for the team. “It’s kind of a three-level thing,” he said. “First thing is to have the girls sleep in their own beds ■ The railroad Bad and divid Umpus from V and vehicle ■becomes a rc trims rushing i Tom Willian Bn Services (I M)rimary cone F “The railroai Br-one project Bmmunity,” h of it will contin e it not to he, Williams sai ip beatois iij|g Garage and A&M freshman defender Heather Ragsdale dribbles the ball against the University of He way beneath Campus and m • j . • u . .u -n of the congest! said.

To play in familiar surroundings is vital.” Guerrieri also pointed to the field itself. The Aggie Soccer Complex uses bermuda grass on the field, which can be cut short to allow the ball to roll faster — conforming to the Aggies’ style of play. If the game were played in Montana, the team would have to play on a different surface and would have little time to get use to it. “The third one is the Twelfth Man,” Guerrieri game and is hoping for success against tbei: “1 think we got lucky to get a home: said. “And for this to be our last homeg need to play our best, for not only usk'lP&r til crowd and everybody that comes out i: c us because it's been great all year long, rj -t o o-f The winner of this game will advance!.: W-lCl^ C) I ond round of the tournament, where it the University of Kentucky Sunday atnai ^ 15th-ranked volleyball team hosts Bayli BY AM; The your.world.tour/New York.London.Sydney Proving your parents wrong feels good.
