Aggies begin Big 12 play
By Troy Miller
THE BATTALION
Defending a championship is
never easy, but for the Texas
A&M women's soccer team,
being defending Big 12 champi
ons and a national top five team
puts a large target on their back.
The road to a second straight
Big 12 Championship begins
tonight when the No. 3 Aggies (6-
1) travel to Norman, Okla., to face
the Oklahoma Sooners (5-2-1).
“Conference is another sea
son in itself,” said senior mid
fielder Kristen Strutz. “We’re
going to have to play like the
defending champs of the Big 12
by stepping up and pressuring
the ball, and just bring a whole
other intensity to the field.”
This season the Aggies are
relying on a defense that has
relinquished just three goals in
their seven non-conference
games, and has shut out
opponents for 180 consecutive
minutes.
Part of the reason is sopho
more goalkeeper Kati Jo Spisak,
who is one of the premier goal
keepers in the nation.
The other reason is the play
of the Aggie backline. With the
loss of Jessica Martin and
Martha Moore in the offseason,
the Aggies turned to two fresh
men — Linda Pierson and
Annie Burnett — to fill the
gaps. Combined with returning
juniors Shannon Labhart and
Amanda Burke, the back four
have choked the life out of
opponents in the defensive zone.
“Right now we’re pretty con
fident in our back four,” Strutz
said. “I just think we’re going to
have to continue to focus on get
ting the shutout.”
Posting shutouts has been
one of the Aggies’ main goals
this season. The team has
allowed only three goals in
seven games. One of those goals

Sophomore goalkeeper Kati Jo Spisak makes the save against North
Carolina last weekend. The Aggies lost the match in overtime 1 -0.
was scored in the final five min
utes of a game and another was
scored in overtime against No. 1
North Carolina.
“The players are very good
about achieving (their) goals,”
said A&M coach G. Guerrieri.
“We want to give up no
more than one goal per game,
and so far we’ve done a good
job of that.”
The Sooners also bring a
two-match shutout streak into
tonight’s game with the Aggies.
Oklahoma junior goalkeeper
Catherine Wade earned Big 12
Defensive Player of the Week
for posting 180 minutes of
shutout soccer and making 12
saves in the Sooners' wins over
Tulsa and Oral Roberts.
“We’re expecting a very
good game,” said A&M junior
forward Emma Smith. “You
don’t really have teams that you
want to play anymore, and every
team in the Big 12 is a very tal
ented team.”
After their showdown with
the Sooners, the Aggies return to
College Station for their last
non-conference game of the sea
son with Washington State
Sunday at 7 p.m.
Then it’s nothing but the Big
12 for the rest of the season, and
fending off the shots opponents
will be taking at the targets plant
ed firmly on the Aggies’ backs.
“Every team that we play in
conference, their big game is
against us ” Smith said. “So that
means that our big game is
every game.”
