While freshman forward Linsey Johnson has been out standing for the Aggies, Baylor has its own freshman phenome non in forward April Robertson. Robertson is leading the Bears with five goals, but she did not score a goal in either of the Bear’s Big 12 games. Before the showdown with Baylor, the Aggies first face the Houston Cougars tonight. The Cougars are 2-5-1 and 1- 3 in Conference USA. but Guerrieri said his team can not overlook them. “We don’t look at it that way,” Guerrieri said. “If you look at it that way, Colorado wasn't a very good team. It will be a huge game for them and they will play very hard and physical.” Colorado upset the Aggies by tying them 2-2 in Boulder last Sunday. They came into the game with a record of 1-5. The Aggies had tough road trips during the last two weeks, facing No. 4 Portland and No. 14 Washington at the Husky/Nike Invitational and then opening Big 12 play at Texas Tech and Colorado. However, the Aggies managed to escape with a 2-1-1 record in those games, 4-2-1 overall. Guerrieri said that he is excited to play some games in College Station. “We’re hoping that folks will stick around from the Baylor (football) game,” Guerrieri said. “We're ranked as high as No. 10 and we have done all of this on the road. We are hoping to unveil this team at home." The Aggie’s first gamem Sept. 17 at the Aggie Soa Afghanistan.
