LAST CHANCE-—LAST CHANCE—-LAST CHANCE LAST CHANCE
And your parents said
sitting around

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

and have their families here and have their friends

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.

After losing to the 13th-ranked
University of Nebraska Corn-
huskers Saturday, the 15th-
ranked Texas A&M Volleyball
Team (19-5 10-5 Big 12) will re
group to battle Highway 6 foe
Baylor University tonight at 6 at
G. Rollie White Coliseum.
The Aggies will attempt to ex
tend their home winning streak to
15 matches, a streak which dates
back to last season.
The 23rd-ranked Bears defeated
A&M earlier this season, 15-11, 6-
15, 10-15, 15-6, 12-15, at the Ferrell
Center in Waco. Baylor also has up
set two other highly-ranked Big 12
teams at home this season, 22nd-
ranked University
of Colorado and
12th-ranked Uni
versity of Texas.
With the loss
to Nebraska, the
Aggies are tied for
third place in the
Big 12 Conference
with Kansas State
University.
CORBELLI
The Bears currently are in a tie
for fifth place with Colorado with a
9-5 conference record and an over
all mark of 21-6. Texas and Ne
braska remain tied for first place in
the Big 12.
A&M leads the all-time series be
tween the teams, 40-7. However,
Baylor shocked the Aggies with a de
feat on Oct. 30, 1998, also in Waco,
16-14, 15-13, 5-15, 5-15, 20-18.
The Bears return five starters
from last season’s squad which fin
ished 1998 at 15-18. They conclud
ed Big 12 play with a seventh-place
finish, but failed to qualify for the
NCAA tournament.
The Aggies are 18-0 when they
post a better hitting percentage
than their opponent this season.
When the Aggies met Baylor earli
er this season, they hit just .185
