your inspirations because it was
so physically demanding.”
The team faced another set
back before the 1980 Olympics
in Moscow when President
Jimmy Carter forced the U.S.
Olympic Committee to boycott
the games after Russia invaded
Afghanistan.
Suddenly, Corbelli and the
other members of the team
found that their years of eight-
hour-a-day practices were all for
naught.
Now, she was faced with
another challenge. She could
accept the boycott and return to
college, or stick around and train
under Selinger for four more
years to play in the next
Olympics. One gut check later,
Corbelli and six other players
decided to suck it up for four
more years and keep training for
the 1984 Games in Los Angeles.
By the time the Olympics
rolled around, the U.S. team was
ranked first in the world with
China.
The United States posted a
win over China in pool play, but
the Chinese rallied and knocked
off the Americans in the gold
medal match. It was the highest-
ever Olympic finish for U.S. vol
leyball, but it was still short of
what Corbelli wanted and
Selinger demanded.
“I still can’t watch the video
tape of that match,” Corbelli
said. “It was devastating. We had
said we wanted the gold medal
for four years after the 1980
boycott. That was our only
vision. We talked about it every
day. We put everything we had
into winning a gold medal.”
Despite settling for a silver
medal, Corbelli translated what
she learned from Selinger into
success on the court when she
began coaching.
After a brief stint coaching at
the University of San Francisco,
her second coaching job sent her
to Santa Clara University. There,
she led the Broncos to a West
Coast Conference title and the
school’s first ever berth in the
NCAA Tournament. Corbelli
also captured Coach of the Year
honors twice.
“When I’m in the gym now, I
still remember the things I was
«sked to do that I didn’t think I
could,’ Corbelli said. “Because I
did it then, I know my team can
do it now. I was no different then
they are.”
Now in her 13th year at
A&M, Corbelli credits Selinger’s
tough love with molding her into
the type of coach she is now.
“The harder we push our
team, the more our team finds
the glue to stick together,”
Corbelli said. “They start to use
each other as support and figure
out what a teammate really is.
They figure out how important
relationships are to winning and
for each other. That stuff is what
we talk about for half of our sea
son. Forget the volleyball part,
the important thing is the team.”

Islamic militants agree to cease-fire
By Dan Perry
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JERUSALEM — Islamic
militants agreed to halt attacks
on Israelis for three months,
Palestinian negotiators said
Wednesday. But the tenuous
deal was immediately undercut
by an Israeli airstrike and
Hamas threats of revenge.
Ending 33 months of vio
lence is a necessary prelude to
the U.S.-backed “road map”
peace plan aimed at establishing
a Palestinian state by 2005.
Despite the truce accord,
which some Hamas officials
denied, there was no sign of a
letup in the bloodletting. Four
Palestinians were killed in Gaza,
including two in a helicopter
attack that Israel said was aimed
at a squad preparing to launch
rockets.
President Bush reacted cool
ly to reports of a cease-fire
signed by Hamas, Islamic Jihad
and Yasser Arafat’s Fatah. “I’ll
believe it when I see it,” he said
at a Washington news confer
ence, echoing Israel in insisting
that the real test is whether
Palestinian security forces will
disarm militant groups.
Israeli officials said
Wednesday that a truce was an
internal Palestinian issue and
they would judge the Palestinian
Authority solely on results.
Officials have been highly skep
tical of the truce idea, fearing it
is a ploy to enable militants to
regroup for more attacks.
Palestinian Prime Minister
Mahmoud Abbas has ruled out
force to disarm the militants,
fearing it could lead to a
civil war.
The emerging deal was
shrouded in some confusion,
with Hamas leaders in the
Palestinian areas strenuously
denying it has been finalized.
And its fate was further thrown
into question by the Israeli
airstrike, which killed two
bystanders in the Gaza Strip.
The deal was partly negotiat
ed by Marwan Barghouti, a
Palestinian cease-fire uncertain
Although Palestinians close to negotiations said an agreement to
halt attacks on Israel had been reached, Hamas leaders denied the
agreement was finalized, shrouding the deal in confusion.
Key
points
The deal would halt
attacks for three
months. In exchange,
they demand Israel
end targeted killings of
militants.
The cease-fire would
apply to settlers and
soldiers in the West
Bank and Gaza as
well as to Israel, a key
Israeli demand.
The agreement calls
for the release of
Palestinian prisoners
held by Israel, but
sets no timeline.
SOURCE: Associated Press
Fatah leader jailed in Israel and
associated with Fatah’s military
wing. With Israel’s knowledge,
Barghouti forwarded documents
to Khaled Mashal of Hamas and
Ramadan Shalah of Islamic
Jihad in Damascus. Egyptian
officials and Abbas have also
been pressing the militants.
The military wings of all
three groups have carried out
scores of bombing and shooting
attacks against Israelis, killing
hundreds of people on buses, in
cafes and in public places.
Hamas has been the
and has set the tone. This week
as the uprising passed the
day mark, the death toll stoodai
more than 2,400 on tit
Palestinian side and more
800 on the Israeli side.
On Wednesday afternoon,
Fatah official Kadoura Fares
told The Associated Press
after weeks of intensive
tion, “the Palestinian
has resulted in a cease-fire
agreement for a period of three
months.”
