THE BATTALION
A quick glance at the Aggies’
boxscore from last Friday
night’s sweep of Oklahoma
would send up a few red flags
for Aggie volleyball faithful.
Only one player put up double
digit kills, sophomore Laura
Jones, managed just five and
conspicuously absent junior
Melissa Munsch did not play
because of an injury.. All of
those stats are not the usual
ingredients in an
especially during
the Big 12 portion
of the schedule.
Nonetheless,
the women came
together and
notched an impor
tant victory, the
250th of coach
Laurie Corbelli’s
tenure at Texas
A&M and a win
that extended their
current streak to
four games, pro
pelling them to
their highest
national ranking in more than a
year at No. 21.
“I’m always proud when I hit
a milestone,” Corbelli said. “The
longevity, and the coach’s sani
ty, isn’t very long sometimes.
I’m really proud to be at Texas
A&M, and I want to get to 300
with a strong team and keep the
program as strong as it is.”
The next step toward 300
begins tonight in Waco for the
Aggies (14-5, 6-3) and Corbelli
as they get set to take on a Jekyll
and Hyde-like Baylor team that
has caused fits for some of the
top teams in the nation while at
other times struggling with the
lightweights.
“A few things contribute (the
ups and downs),” said Baylor
coach Brian Hosfeld. “Partially
our youth, we’re a young team
and our older kids are playing in
new positions, but part of it is
just the way the game is played
now with rally scoring ... it’s
tough to stay consistent.”
The Bears’ (11-11, 3-6)
unpredictable nature is nowhere
more obvious than their match
against No. 8 Kansas State on
Sept. 24.
The women put away the
Wildcats in four games, giving
Baylor its first win over a ranked
opponent in nearly three years.
But since then, the Bears have
lost to Oklahoma and struggled
against Texas Tech, which is
u
We are preparing
to go in and play
them like they are at
their top level...
— Beth Skypala
Aggie senior outside hitter
still winless in Big 12 play.
Baylor snuck by the Red Raiders
in five games in Lubbock.
“They seem to be sometimes
really up and sometimes not as
up,” Corbelli said. “It’s very
hard to prepare for ... but they
are bigger and stronger than ever
before, they’ve got a lot to prove
from having a down season to
proving now that the program is
still very strong.”
Senior outside hitter Beth
Skypala said they are not tak
ing anything for granted
against the Bears.
“We are preparing to go in
and play them like
they are at their
top level and no
matter where they
are in their game
we are expecting
to bring our high
est game,” she
said.
Skypala has
stepped forward
during the Aggies’
current four-game
win streak. She has
led the team in the
last two matches
with kills, a stretch
that included her career high
against Kansas when she
knocked down 28.
“It’s all come together,”
Skypala said said. “Getting in a
rhythm with volleyball (is
important), and I really feel like
I’m there right now.”
Munsch was held out of last
Friday’s match against
Oklahoma as a precaution fol
lowing a run-in with the hard
wood against Kansas last
Wednesday.
Munsch was exhibiting the
tell-tale signs of a mild con
cussion after the match, result
ing in a scratch in the
Oklahoma match. Munsch was
back at practice Monday and
was cleared to play against
Baylor in Waco.
The slight injury did give the
Aggies another opportunity to
work some fresh legs into the
lineup, which was a bit of a lux
ury for Corbelli.
“The depth comes in handy
for coaches like us who are
spoiled with great talent all
around,” Corbelli said. “When
(some of the younger players)
need to go in they have been
doing a beautiful job, I was real
ly impressed.”
The Aggies have won seven
straight against Baylor dating
back to 1999. The match is set
for 7 p.m. at the Ferrell Center
in Waco.
SPORTS IN BRIEF
McNair to face grand
jury for drunk driving
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Steve
McNair’s case on drunken driving
and weapons charges will go to a
grand jury.
Judge Leon Ruben ruled
Tuesday that there was sufficient
evidence for the case against the
Tennessee Titans' quarterback to
move forward. The grand jury
could convene in four to five
weeks, according to the district
attorney’s office.
McNair, the NFL’s top-rated
quarterback who has led the
Titans to a 5-2 record, left with his
lawyer after the hearing Tuesday
and did not talk to reporters.
McNair was pulled over by police
while driving a sport utility vehicle
in Nashville just after midnight
May 22.
