THE BATTALION
Friday, August hursday, Augi
A&M to battle No. 1 North Carol iNev
Ags-Tar Heels set for showdown
By Jeremy Brown
THE BATTALION
Senior forward Nicky
Thrasher and the rest of the
llth-ranked Texas A&M soc
cer team will not have to wait
long for their first test of the
season — defending^ National
Champion North Carolina vis
its the Aggie Soccer Complex
this Sunday.
The first-ranked North
Carolina Tar Heels can be
described as a dynasty.
The Tar Heels won their 16th
NCAA National Championship
last season by beating UCLA 2-
1 in the championship game of
the 2000 NCAA Women’s
College Cup. UCLA had
knocked A&M out of the play
offs in the third round with a
score of 4-0.
Last year's national title gave
the Tar Heels their 17th title in
22 years of the program.
Coach Anson Dorrance’s
team has a 487-22-11 record
during that span, including a 66-
3 record in the playoffs.
This year’s North Carolina
team returns seven starters from
last year’s championship team.
The Aggies return eight starters
from last year’s 18-7 team.
A&M coach G. Guerrieri
said A&M is one of the best
teams in the country when it
plays at its pace, which it did in
the 11-0 pounding of Tulsa in
last week’s exhibition game.
“We prepare for Carolina the
best that we can,” Guerrieri said.
“We play the best teams that we
can. (Tulsa) is one of the better
teams in our region.”
The Aggie’s Hermann Trophy
candidate, Thrasher, will take on
two other candidates when the
Aggies face North Carolina.
Tar Heel defender Danielle
Borgman and midfielder Jena
Kluegel were both listed as one
of the 13 candidates for the
Hermann Trophy.
Last year, Thrasher scored
A&M’s only goal against the Tar
Heels, but she will have to go
through Borgman and the rest of
the Tar Heels tough defense to
repeat that performance.
Kluegel will again be helping
North Carolina put the ball in

Week 1 PredictionsY! \< mi u
Before I get to my pre
diction of how the Aggies
will do this weekend,
here’s a reminder of A&M
redshirt freshmen running
backs debuting against
teams from Louisiana.
In 1991, a youngster
from Dallas, Greg Hill,
burst on the scene, rush
ing for a freshman first-game record 212
yards and introducing A&M fans to “GHT”
(Greg Hill Time) in a 45-7 victory over LSU.
Now, 10 years later, another redshirt
freshman from Houston looks to bust out
against a team from Louisiana, this time
McNeese State.
Freshman Keith Joseph could be the shot
in the arm the A&M running game has need
ed and the fans might get a glimpse of “KJT.”
The offense, with Joseph and quarterback
Mark Farris, the Wrecking Crew and a rau
cous opening crowd at Kyle Field will over
whelm McNeese State.
The last time A&M opened the season
against a Division I-AA opponent, it was in
1997 and the Aggies defeated Sam Houston
State, 59-6. Look for more of the same
against the Cowboys. Aggies roll, 52-6
I only need one word
to describe this week
end's opening football
game between Texas
A&M and McNeese
State — dismal.
Dismal for all those
who will make the trip
back to Lake Charles,
La., after seeing
further at the Ui
McNeese’s beating when the 2001 Aggie
offense tests its legs at Kyle Field.
Junior quarterback Mark Farris will have
a field day on McNeese’s cornerbacks, and
spring game standout Keith Joseph should
rack up plenty of yards on the ground.
Farris will get plenty of touchdown
chances against the Cowboys, while the
Aggies search for a go-to-guy to replace
Robert Ferguson.
The A&M coaches will have a sharp eye
on the defensive unit and will not be disap
pointed. Junior middle linebacker Brian
Gamble will shine and mop up whoever gets
by the solid Aggie defensive front.
After the smoke clears and the final gun
sounds, the scoreboard will read 42-3, A&M
over McNeese.
