THE BATTALION
HOUSTON — In playing its
t match in more than a week, it
Was not unexpected that the No.
If' Texas A&M volleyball team
1-1) came out flat against the
ouston Cougars (3-5) on
jesday night. Unfortunately for
tha Aggies, they almost fell flat
n their face.
I They hung tough and, despite
being bested in most major sta
tistical categi the Aggies
lulled out a five-game victory
ler the Cougars, 30-32, 31-29,
B-28, 19-30, 15-10.
I A&M was led by senior setter
Jenna Moscovic who posted a
liple-double with a career-high
1.. kills, 50 assists and 14 digs.
I "We couldn't ever seem to get
into our rhythm,” said A&M vol
leyball coach Laurie Corbelli.
"Aggie volleyball was there in
parts and pieces, but I really
don't know what to attribute it
to. But we did pull it out and we
fought in game five like 1 wish
we would have in the first couple
of games. They really did out
play us tonight and that’s why 1
feel lucky we got the win.”
If the match was decided on
statistics alone, Houston would
have been victorious. The
Cougars outhit the Aggies, .301
to .179, made 14 fewer errors
than A&M and had six more
kills. However, the Aggies
stepped up when it counted and
took control of the match in the
fifth game.
Houston took an early 1 -0 lead
on a kill by Jane Anne Karasek.
The Aggies took the lead 4-2 on
kills by senior outside hitter
Michelle Cole and Moscovic.
Houston, as they did all night
long, scratched back to tie the
game at five on a kill by Jennifer
Wittenburg. The Aggies then
took control of the game, going
on an 8-3 run, taking a 13-8 lead
on a service ace by junior mid
dle blocker A.D. Achilefu.
The Aggies closed out the
match as Moscovic and freshman
middle blocker Melissa Munsch
blocked a Karasek attack.
Game No. 1 set the tone for
the whole match as a kill by
Whittenburg knotted the game
at 8. The Aggies seemed poised
to take control, going on an 11-
4 run and taking a 19-12 lead on
a Cougar hitting error.
The Cougars would not quit
however, as they fought their
way back, tying the game at 28
on a kill by Whittenburg.
Houston did not stop as they
closed the Aggies out to win the
game, 32-30.
The teams traded the next
three games as the Aggies
bounced back to take game two,
31-29. The Aggies won another
close game in the third, holding
on for a 30-28 win. The Cougars
set up the fifth and deciding
game with a 30-19 victory in
the fourth game.
Senior outside hitter Erin
Lechler led the Aggies with
21 kills while Cole chipped ip
18 kills.
Whittenburg hit .412 and led
Houston with 31 kills. Jenny
Tanneberger had 22 kills and led
the Cougars in hitting at .436.
"I though our team grew
tonight,” said Houston volley
ball coach Bill Walton. "We
have been having trouble play
ing with our personality, trying
to get a good Houston personal
ity on the court and maintain it
the whole time.
The Aggies return to action
Saturday when they travel to
Columbia, Mo., to take on the
University of Missouri Tigers.
