Junior Jennie Poth and the Aggies open the 2000
schedule in Waco today and on Tuesday.
The Big 12 Preview will be an excellent early test for
the Aggie golfers because of the Big 12’s strength as a
conference. However, Sutherland has confidence in this
year's team.
"This is a great team. It’s the strongest we’ve been since
'98, when we had that great senior class,” Sutherland said.
•”We have better balance than we have had since I have been
here up and down the lineup. It’s going to be fun to watch.”
The 1998 team won the Big 12 title, so such a compar
ison speaks volumes about Sutherland’s faith in her team.
Going into the Big 12 Preview, Epps, Dyslin, and Jon
sson secured their spots in the lineup, but there is a dog
fight for the last two spots. Senior Marta Ostos, juniors
Jennifer Cates and Jennifer Poth, and freshman Mira
Bendevis all have a shot at making the lineup.
“Anybody can step up into the top five,” Sutherland
said. “Our biggest strength is that these women aren’t
afraid to set high goals and work to achieve them.”

— Sports in Brief —
The loss broke A&M’s four-match
winning streak and dropped it to 8-
4 overall and 3-2 in the Big 12.
The Aggies took the initial lead in
game one of the match, courtesy of
an Erin Gibson ace, but would not
lead in the first game again as the
’Huskers took over.
The Aggies tied it up nine times
in the second game, but Nebraska
broke a 14-14 tie with a kill and an
A&M error.
A&M opened the fourth game
by building a 4-1 lead but Nebras
ka then racked up nine unan
swered points before putting the
Aggies away.
Coach Laurie Corbelli said that
she hopes her young Aggies can
take something away from the Ne
braska match.
“We were bringing a young team
into a new environment and it took
a full game before we were able to
get started," she said. “It was a
good experience for our young
team. If we can learn from this I will
be happy.”
