Soccer hosting weekend action
By Troy Miller
THE BATTALION
The No. 7 Texas A&M
women’s soccer team is back
on track its it takes a three-
game shutout streak into this
Friday’s Big 12 Conference
books, coiiecta:J opener against Iowa State
>• 2100Cavitt.ityJ u niver sit y (3-3-1).
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

coordinated movements by the
players when they don’t have
the ball.”
Leading the way for the
Aggie offense is sophomore
Linsey Woodard. 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).

AL1SSA HOLLIMON • THE BATTALION
A&M sophomore defender Shannon Labhart closes the passing lane and
intercepts a pass against Idaho State in a tournament last weekend.
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.

have confidence.”
Pegram has learned to keep his mind in
check. 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.
