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.

the shot wide at the last second
for North Carolina.
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.
