Freshman forward Jessica Hamilton scored
two goals against Central Florida on Friday
before suffering a season-ending knee injury
Sunday.
Staff and Wire
The No. 11 Texas A&M
soccer team opened its season
with a 5-0 win over the Cen
tral Florida Golden Knights
Friday at the Aggie Soccer
Complex.
The Aggies were in mid
season form, dominating the
pace of the entire game, while
outshooting the Knights 32-5.
“We looked like a team
that was playing its eighth
game of the season,” soccer
coach G. Guerrieri said.
“Now it is just a matter of im
proving our intensity.”
In fact, A&M was playing its
eighth match of the season after
playing seven games across the
Atlantic Ocean on the team’s
preseason European tour.
Sophomore forward
Heather Ragsdale scored the
game-winner just six minutes
into the contest. Ragsdale re
ceived the ball from sopho
more midfielder Andrea
Starns, who recorded her first
of two assists.
Along with Starns’ two as
sists, senior midfielder Heather
Wiebe and sophomore mid
fielder Jessica Martin all
pitched in with assists of their
own.
With the win, the Aggies im
proved their record to 1-0 while
Central Florida dropped to 0-1.

way like I’m sure this team is capa
ble of doing, then they’re going to
be more than on the map. They're
on the map already. They’re going
to be under consideration for elite
status—just with their perfor
mance today. That performance will
beat almost anyone.”
Guerrieri has set A&M on the
right course, accruing a winning
percentage well in the .700s during
his first decade.
But for A&M to accomplish its
goal in 2000, it will have a long list
of obstacles to overcome. Injuries
top that list.
In nine months, the Aggies have
had six knee injuries. Entering
game two, A&M had four key play

Sunday’s game cost A&M one
more. True freshman Jessica Hamil
ton went down with yet another
torn anterior crucial ligament
(ACL) for the Aggies and a big loss
to A&M’s offensive package.
The second obstacle brings back
a long list of bad memories for
A&M. Nebraska promises to main
tain its Big 12 status as the Aggies’
nemesis in the North. The Com-
huskers have a history of upsetting
A&M in big games and lead the se
ries 7-3. Since 1995 six of the 10
matches have been single-goal deci
sions. The last match resulted in the
Aggies’ elimination from the
NCAA tournament.
Now the only question is how
A&M will react to the Carolina
loss for the remainder of the sea
son. A loss to the nation’s top team
does little to A&M’s tiational
standing. Plenty of other Top-25
teams still lie ahead. Next week
end alone A&M will play Top-10
and Top-25 teams in Harvard and
Hartford.
After all, A&M can still meet
UNC again this season — in the na
tional championship game.
“The time to play UNC is in
the very last game of the season,”
Guerrieri said. “That’s when it
counts.”
UNC recognizes that could very
well be the case if the Aggies con
tinue to play as they did in their loss
to the nation’s premier team.
“With that team that opened the
game, that’s a Top-four team,”
Dorrance said. “It’s a Final Four
team.”
Now A&M just has to get there.
Soccer
“Today was a test for us
to see where we are. We
have to make ourselves
better from this experi
ence.”
With 16 national cham
pionships in the last 20
years, Guerrieri said
UNO’s fitness is on a

whole different level.
“Fitness is very impor
tant in soccer,” he said.
“UNC achieves the high
est level of fitness of any
team in the country. Today
we saw that level, and now
we’ve got to try to take
ourselves to that level.”
