Call Ross at 512- Aggies finish tournament with 2-1 mark By Jeff Allen THE BATTALION The University of Southern California came sauntering into i. Rollie White Coliseum this /eekend for the McDonald’s exas A&M Invitational carry- ig with them a perfect record. The Women of Troy had put own their first six opponents in flawless 18 games and were )oking to extend their domi- ance over Centenary, iouthwest Missouri State and te Aggies, who were making icir first appearance on their ome court in the 2(X)3 season. The Trojans didn’t break tride. They swept through IMSU and Centenary with few lassies, but Saturday night, the Lggies had hopes of changing hat. “No one in the nation has aken a game off of them yet,” laid A&M coach Laurie 3orbelli. “We were hoping to be he first.” The Aggies, w ho finished the oumament 2-1, did all they :ould in the first game, stretch- ng the No. 1 Women of Troy to :he brink in front of a raucous, ■ecord setting home crowd of 2,846, the largest to witness a match at G. Rollie against a team other than the University of Texas. The Aggies stretched to a 24-22 lead before USC made its move. “That was a very well-played game of volleyball by A&M,” said USC coach Mick Haley. “That was championship divi sion volleyball. They caused us a lot of trouble, but our kids were very patient and hung in there.” The Women of Troy indeed lid Hang in and eventually gabbed the first game from the Aggies 30-27. From there things came a bit unraveled for the Aggies. Thanks in part to what Corbelli said could be “the toughest (serving) we’ll see all year” by USC senior April Ross, the Aggies lost their feet in the second game. "April’s serve was really tough to receive,” said junior Melissa Munsch. “We had a lit tle problem and got a little shook up from it.” A&M hit at a .057 clip in the game, especially having trouble with the Trojan serve. “We were able to drive them back and to drive them out of their comfort zone,” Haley said. After the disappointing sec ond game, the Aggies recovered a bit in the third but were unable to catch USC. The Trojans (9-0), defeated the Aggies (7-2) in straight games, 30-27, 30-15, 30-22. Friday night in the home opener things looked even bleaker for the Aggies. The team came out flat against a strong Southwest Missouri State team, and the Bears capitalized, win ning the first two games and sprinting out to a 27-20 lead in the third, a lead that statistically would seem insurmountable during rally scoring. But the Aggies were to have none of that. Facing the possibility of the first home opening loss in the Corbelli era, the Aggies went on a nine point run in the third game to capture a 29-27 lead before going on to win the third game 34-32. Led by a rare triple double by Munsch, including a season and career high with 14 blocks, and by sophomore Laura Jones’ career highs in kills and digs, the Aggies turned the match around. They were sparked by fresh legs off the bench from junior Carrie Moreira and sophomores Carrie Kelly and Jayna Baker. The Aggies took the fourth game going away 30-20 and car ried momentum into the fifth, grabbing a quick lead and hold ing on for a 15-12 win, claiming the match. “1 can’t think of many match es like this, much less an open er,” Corbelli said. “A lot of teams would have given up, a lot of teams would have stayed dis organized and in a confused manner. This team decided to slowly work their way toward changing that.” The Aggies won their second match Saturday against Centenary in straight sets, end ing the tournament with a 2-1 record. USC claimed the tourna ment championship with a 3-0 record. Jones continued her streak of All-Tournament teams, being named for the third week in a row. She was joined by Munsch and by senior Beth Skypala. 265 +1 futilities, deposv i lease. Available-9/1, 691- Overtime bd/2ba duplex available O total. 903-277-0109. aded 4bed-2bath.

With three minutes remaining in the match, senior midfielder Kristen Strutz played a serve into the box that was headed by Davis over the crossbar once again. In overtime, North Carolina gained possession and played the ball down the right sideline to senior forward Alyssa Ramsey who then made a sensa tional cross while sliding. The cross sailed out of reach of Spisak and onto the awaiting head of freshman forward Libby Guess who buried the ball into the back of the net to give the Tar Heels the win. “I thought we stepped up today,” Spisak said. “This early in the season, and as young as we are, we have a lot of good stuff to look forward to.” SPORTS IN BRIEF Texans return to old ways in loss NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A week after upsetting the Miami Dolphins, the Houston Texans reverted to resembling the second year expansion team they are, losing Sunday 31-10 to New Orleans. Quarterback David Carr was 17-of-36 for 123 yards, had two interceptions and was sacked five times. Carr, who for the first time in his NFL career was sack free against Miami, was pres sured constantly by the Saints and hit at least 10 times. “That was the most physical game I’ve played since I’ve been here,” Carr said. )efenslve Driving.
