THE BATTALION
The ESPN “Sidelines” crew
ieotaped senior forward Nicky
rasher during the No. 15
ixasA&M soccer team's game
ith Oklahoma State. She gave
m something worth watching.
In her final regular season
me at the Aggie Soccer
|implex, Thrasher scored three
als in the first 10 minutes to
id the Aggies to a 5-1 victory
er the Cowgirls.
She scored her first goal 1 1
conds into the game,
dahoma State attempted to
ss the ball backward, but
irasher stole the ball and
ked it in from 10-yards out.
“It caught me off guard,”
•RCYCLE irasher said. “It's fun to get
ase goals and when you do
it your team gets pumped up.”
Her second goal came eight
Huns HjJjmtes later as she took a pass

the goal.
Thrasher completed her hat
:k 1:44 later against Cowgirl
alkeeper Kat Doud. Doud
me up to play the ball in the
;ht comer of the goal area but
rasher beat her to the ball,
bbled it past Iter and made the
by shot before Doud recovered.
Thrasher’s hat trick was her
st since 1999 when she scored
lURVIVE
three goals against Kansas,
bringing her season total for this
season up 12.
Oklahoma State was able to
get on the board two minutes
after Thrasher’s third goal.
Cowgirl forward Joanne
Edwards put in a cross by for
ward Jolene Schweitzer. A&M
senior goalkeeper Angela Barker
was there to stop Schweitzer’s
cross but Edwards was in posi
tion to put the ball past Barker at
point-blank range.
Barker, in her second start of
the season, was largely untested
as the Cowgirls managed only
three shots.
The Aggies added two goals
in the second half to put the
game away and soccer head
coach G. Guerrieri was able to
play every senior in their last
regular season home game.
“It's really neat for Nicky to
wrap up the home portion of her
career with a performance like
that,” Guerrieri said. “Really, 1
was pleased for all the seniors
today. They really had a good
all-around performance today.”
Two minutes into the second
half, Stams headed in a kick by
sophomore midfielder Kristen
Strutz to put the Aggies up 4-1.
Freshman forward Linsey
Johnson ended the scoring and
moved within one goal of tying
Jamie Csizmadia’s freshman
record of 13 goals by putting in
a cross from senior defender
Jodie Mitchell with less than

twenty minutes left in the game.
Thrasher also scored a goal
in the Aggie’s 2-0 victory over
Oklahoma University on Friday.
The Sooners slowed down
the Aggie’s attack but were
unable to mount a consistent
attack of their own. A&M held
the Sooners to seven shots and
forced A&M sophomore goal
keeper Esther Thompson to
make only two saves.
Junior defender Jessica
Martin added the Aggies’
other goal against the Sooners
by heading in a corner kick
from freshman defender
Shannon Labhart.
Cyclones cut the lead on a 20-yard touchdown pass by
f allace to wide receiver Craig Campbell on a fourth-down play
Ith four yards to go.
Behind Wallace and running back Ennis Haywood, the Cyclones
/IMATES |inverted all three fourth-down plays they attempted for the game.
Wallace passed for a season-high 348 yards on the day against the
,ggie defense, but was held to only 15 yards rushing, which was a
aal for the Aggie defense this week. Wallace had averaged 62.5 yards
er game coming into Saturday’s game.
^ -‘That guy is a big time player,” said A&M junior inside line-
MLr Brian Gamble. “We knew we were gonna have a hard time
tinging him down, but, for the most part, we did a good job con-

taining him. He’s a great passer, which you saw today. He complet
ed a lot of passes and really made their offense tick.”
Farmer’s run would increase the lead to 24-14 and the Aggies closed
out the game against the Cyclones in front of 85,661 fans at Kyle Field.
“A&M made a few more plays than we did,” said Iowa State head
coach Dan McCarney. “I enjoyed coaching in A&M’s environment.
“A&M's defense has been real good against the running game, and
that’s traditional Wrecking Crew. We knew we could pass on them and
had some success with that, but their defensive line is as good as you'll
see anywhere else in the country.”
A&M head coach R.C. Slocum was pleased with the win and
pointed out the importance of the two-blocked field goals and the
play of Scates in the Aggies win.
“Special teams always play a key role in a football game," Slocum
said. “If we don’t make our field goal and they do make theirs, then we’d
have had a whole different ballgame. We played a tough opponent.”

A little bit country, a little bit classy.
He's played with almost every country star you can think
of including Travis Tritt's "Devil Went Down to Georgia.
He regularly jams in jazz sessions all over the country.
He composes classical music and is praised by even the
most discriminating critics. In fact, about the only thing
Mark O'Connor hasn't done is perform in Rudder
Auditorium. But that's about to change.
On Saturday, November 3, Mark O'Connor joins the
Metamorphosen Chamber Orchestra for the classical
music event of the fall. The one-night-only event will
begin with the orchestra performing Vivaldi's "The Four
Seasons." The evening's second half will feature Mark
O'Connor, joined by the orchestra, performing his latest
composition "The American Seasons."
