The Aggie defense, led by senior Jessica Martin, has been a wall on the back line as it has not allowed more than one goal in seven of its eight games this season. The lone game with multiple goals against A&M was versus the No. 1 University of North Carolina. Behind the back line is fresh man goalkeeper Katie Jo Spisak who owns a 0.96 goals against average. She has racked up six saves in the last three shutout victories for A&M (5-3). The largest turn around for the Aggie team has been on the offensive side of the field. After scoring only seven goals in their first five games, the Aggies have lit up the nets, scoring 13 goals in their last three games. A large key to the change is in the ball possession by the Aggie midfielders. "The girls are really doing a good job of playing more coor dinated with each other,” said A&M head coach G. Guerrieri. “Possession is the first thing you start to see in that. That has helped us in our goal scoring. It’s all due to hard work and I. detached ga-is inces, CfVa. wc r down town, Mii| ash to seller am 765.

Woodard has scored six goals on 37 shots this season and was named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week. Two other boosts to the Aggie offense have come from seniors Heather Ragsdale and Jessica Martin. Both have come back from injuries to help get the Aggie offense in gear. Ragsdale has contributed two goals and three assists while Martin has one assist. ‘it’s so much better than it was,” Martin said. “We showed (against Florida Atlantic and Idaho State) how we can play. I think it’s only going to get better.” Friday marks the first Big 12 opponent for A&M when the Cyclones come to College Station. Sophomore Nikki Gamble, with four goals and one assist, and junior goalkeep er Beth Chapman, who posts a 1.23 goals against average, lead Iowa State. “Now the games really mean something,” said junior captain Kristen Strutz. "Each game is so important we need a win in each game. We’ll just take it day by day.” The Aggies will play one more non-conference foe Sunday evening when they take on the No. 16 University of Washington Huskies (5-2-1). Toenail Fungus?

Four four-goal scorers, juniors Melissa Bennett and Jaime Carstensen, sophomore Tina Frimpong, and freshman Kim Taylor, lead the Huskies. The Husky offense should match up well against the Aggie defense. Washington averages 2.5 goals per game while the Aggies give up an average of less than one goal per game. “They'll be coming in with revenge on their minds because we beat them at their place last year,” Guerrieri said. The Aggies will take on Iowa State Friday at 7:30 p.m. at the Aggie Soccer Complex. Washington will be in College Station on Sunday for a 7 p.m. kickoff at the Soccer Complex.

Field goal kicking is one of the most mentally strenuous aspects of football. He said that was one of the biggest changes trom the ULL game to the VT game. "(During the VT game) 1 knew it was there, but 1 was trying to go out and pro duce and not think about it,” Pegram said. “That’s the main thing with kicking in col lege. You try to over-analyze things, but you've got to keep it simple, and I went out thinking about just booting it.” He was more than pleased with the result. “It made everything that I've worked for in the past years worth it, right there,” he said. Pegram came to A&M as one of the top high-school kickers in the state. At Plano West High School last season, Pegram was 28-for-28 in extra-point attempts and hit a career-long field goal of 48 yards. He was selected as the No. 2 kicker in the nation by Rivals.com and made the top 100 rankings in the state in the Dallas Morning News, Houston Chronicle, San Antonio Express and the Waco Tribune Herald. He also played in the Army All-Star game in San Antonio.
