The No. 6 Texas A&M
women’s soccer team (9-3, 3-0)
will head to Baylor University
(7-5, l-3) Friday night with a
seven-game win streak to
uphold. Baylor may not look like
a very strong opponent on paper
compared to the Aggies, but
Waco has been a less than friend
ly environment for A&M over
the past few seasons.
“We’re trying to stay positive
and take it game by game,” said
junior midfielder Kristen Strutz.
“We haven’t won at Baylor I
don’t think in the past three years
at their complex.”
Baylor leads the all-time
series 4-3, and has won four of
the last five contests with the
Aggies. A&M has not won in
Waco in three tries, the last try in
the 2000 season.
“Now we go into a place that
we’ve had some bad luck,” said
A&M head coach G. Guerrieri.
“It really has been more of an
issue where Baylor has wanted to
beat us more than I think we
wanted to beat them. Now we’ve
got to continue this winning
streak and road success and do it
(in Waco).”
The Aggies succeeded on the
road this weekend by beating
Colorado, 2-0 and No. 16
Nebraska, 3-2. The win over
Nebraska exorcised one demon
as it marked the first time an
Aggie team has ever beaten
Nebraska in Lincoln.
Sophomore Linsey Woodard
scored the game-winning goal in
the 67th minute to top Nebraska.
It was Woodard’s team-leading
l Oth goal of the season.
“We played so well,” said sen
ior defender Jessica Martin. “We
had to come back a couple of
times (against Nebraska). That’s
kind of a relief to get that week
end over with and now we can
focus on the rest of the confer
ence and take it game by game.”
Baylor is coming off a hard-
fought 4-3 loss to the University
of Missouri. The Bears have lost
five of their last seven after start
ing the season 5-0.
They are led by sophomore
Kristin Ruef who has scored six
goals on the season and redshirt
freshman Tiffany Boshers who
has scored four goals. Senior
Tamura Crawley anchors a
defense that has given up 20
goals this season. The Bears have
outshot opponents 201-103.
“Physically they're very good
at getting teams away from the
things that (teams) like to do,"
Guerrieri said. “Our big issue is
defeat to

The futures of the Texas A&M men’s and
women’s cross country teams will be on dis
play Saturday at the Texas A&M Invitational.
This year’s lone home meet will feature
young, unfamiliar faces for the Aggies.
“We are probably going to run the ‘B’
squad this weekend,” said cross country head
coach Dave Hartman. “This will give them a
great opportunity to step it up, and some of the
young athletes will have a chance to shine
before the hometown crowd.”
The Aggies are taking no chances with
their top runners by not running them this
weekend as one of the most important races
of the year is looming next Saturday.
“Typically we always run the ‘A’ squad,
but this year, the way things broke down, it
was crucial that we go to the Pre-Nationals
with a good performance. They (the NCAA)
base a lot of the criteria for the (national)
selection, if we don't qualify automatically,
for the NCAA on the pre-meet. It's important
we go up there and do well if we’re going to
qualify on an at large basis,” Hartman said.
For the Aggies to qualify for nationals
automatically they would have to finish sec
ond in the regional meet later this year.
That does not, however, mean that this
weekend’s meet will be overlooked by the
Aggies. Many of the runners competing will
soon be lining up with the ‘A’ squad and run
ning against some of the best in the nation
“These guys are getting a great opportura
ty to race and get that competition in. so that
in the future they can develop in the ’A'squad
... almost all the guys we took to Maine red-
shirted and were running on the ‘ B squada
couple years ago,” Hartman said
“The meet poses an opportunity for some
runners to compete against a level of comp;
tition that normally they would not get at
point in their careers,” he said.
“I’m very excited." said redshin fresh
man Michelle Fuchs. “Fm looking forward
to running something longer (than the
5 kilometer), the competition will push
and show us what we really have. It w
show our potential.”
