Freshman quarterback Reggie McNeal, who had started his first game of the season, went down early in the second quarter with an ankle injury, making way tor sophomore Dustin Long to take over the team for the rest of the game. Long led the Aggies (6-5, 3-4) back from a 17-3 halftime deficit only to lose 33-27 to the Tigers (5-6, 2-5) in double overtime. Long threw tor 270 yards on 22 of 35 passing only to see Missouri and quarterback Brad Smith rack up 430 yards of total offense against the Wrecking Crew. This is the fourth game that the Aggies have allowed 400 yards of offense, all of them coming at home. “Any time you get the opportunity to play football at this level at one of the great venues in the nation then there’s no reason to come out flat,” said senior linebacker Brian Gamble. “That’s what’s frustrating.” In the first overtime, both teams traded 40-yard field goals to tie the game at 27. In the second over time period, A&M looked as if it was rolling to a touchdown. On third and goal from the six-yard line. Long threw a pass intended for senior wide receiver Bethel Johnson. Missouri junior cornerback Michael Harden slipped inside of Johnson to intercept the pass. “I threw it and (Harden) made a good break in front of Bethel and picked'it off,” Long said. Only needing a field goal to win, the Tigers ran the ball on five consecutive plays that ended with Smith running one yard for the touchdown and the 33-27 victory. The Aggies came out of the gates flat as Missouri marched down the field in 5:31 from the opening kickoff to score a 20-yard field goal by junior Mike Matheny.

McNeal started where he left off against Oklahoma by throwing a 58-yard bomb to sophomore receiver Terrance Murphy on the first play from scrimmage. The drive ended in a 25-yard field goal by fresh man Todd Pegram to tie the score at 3-3. The rest of the half was all Missouri as junior tailback Zack Abron scored two touchdowns, one on the ground and the other in the air. The Aggies blocked a last-second field goal attempt to keep the score 17-3 going into halftime. The play of the first half came at the 10:45 mark in the second quarter. As the pocket closed in around McNeal, he tried to scramble only to be met by Missouri linebacker James Kinney and defen sive tackle Keith Wright. McNeal stayed on the turf and left the game with an ankle injury and did not return for the Aggies. Inspired play in the second half brought the See Missouri on page 10 Aggies get swept by Wildcats By True Brown THE BATTALION The Kansas State Wildcats handed the Texas A&M volley ball team its worst home loss in six years Sunday, sweeping the Aggies and stopping a five match winning streak. No. 20 KSU (18-6, 14-2 Big 12) used solid defense and block ing to claim a 30-21,30-23, 30-26 win in G. Rollie White Coliseum. The loss by A&M (18-8, 10-7) was its first ever at home against the Wildcats, who now own an 8- 7 edge in the series. KSU, which had not played since Nov. 9, showed no signs of rust and controlled the match from the first serve. “That bye week can kind of go one way or another,” said KSU head coach Suzie Fritz. “You’re either going to come out Looking for a M/F roommate to split S248/mo. rent and 1/3bills.

Our team embraced an opportunity to come back and compete.” A&M was held to a .117 hit ting percentage, its second low est of the season. “We tightened up and tried to do some things that we don’t normally do,” said A&M head coach Laurie Corbelli. “We tried extra hard to beat this team, and by doing so, we were totally out of our game.” The Aggies never led in game one after an early five- point run by the "Wildcats. A&M was behind 14-12 in the second frame, but another streak by KSU proved costly. KSU set ter Gabby Guerre served up five consecutive points to put the game out of reach. Another big run in the final SPORTS IN BRIEF frame proved to be the nail in A&M’s coffin. The Aggies came out from the break with a 12-5 lead, but then surrendered eight points in a row and never led again. “We played very well,” Fritz said. “We didn’t make a lot of errors. This is a very effi cient volleyball team. We don’t have a lot of stars.” Unlike KSU, A&M was beset by errors. The Aggies had 29 attack errors to go with five ser vice errors, all of which came at inopportune times. “That first touch, when the ball comes across the net to your team, if you can put it on target you can do just about anything,” Corbelli said. “Our first touch today wasn’t very good. We didn’t pass well. The quality of our passing wasn’t where it usually is.” Male roommate to share 3/2 home, 5 blocks to TAMU, $400/mo. (with all utilit ies) 512-567-8325, 979-693-2177.

The meet at the Student Rec Center Natatorium Friday night for the No. 16 men’s swimming and diving team (2-2) and the No. 24 women’s team (4-2) against their counterparts from the University of Louisiana- Monroe presented such an occasion. “In the locker room we knew we wanted to show them respect,” said senior Zach Widener. “They drove seven hours, and we wanted to give them our best perfor mance just for showing up to race, (plus) we have got a big fall invitational (next week), and we want to sent out times that they can see that (we) are coming in ready. Without overlooking these guys, we were getting ready for next week.” If Friday night was any indication, the men are most certainly ready for anything that may be awaiting them next weekend in Pittsburgh. Led by Widener and freshman Andrew Sullivant, the Aggies claimed first place in 11 of 16 events en route to a 173-117 win over the Indians. The win moved the men back to the .500 mark after finishing behind national powerhouses Texas and University of Southern California two weeks ago. The women claimed all 14 swimming events, includ ing both relays, on their way to a 160-115 win, and had some strong performances from some of the less expe rienced swimmers. Led by sophomore Ashley Roark and freshman Adriana Marmolejo, the Aggies cruised through the night without much problem. Roark and Marmolejo each won a pair of events on the evening for the Aggies. Roark claimed the 500 freestyle and the 200 individual medley for the woman. Marmolejo chipped in with victories in the 100 back- stroke and the 200 breast stroke.
