THE BATTALION JP Beato III • THE BATTALION Texas A&M offensive lineman Alan Reuber (73) congratulates running back Courtney Lewis (25) after a touchdown Saturday. Lewis led A&M with 120 yards and one touchdown as the Aggies notched a 45-33 win over Kansas. Aggies Drive Continued from page 5 Continued from page 5 is just unbelievable.” Yet, it was the steady play of the Aggie offense and the resurgence of the A&M defenders that spoiled Barmann’s debut, as jitter-free as he claimed to be. “To tell you the truth, I wasn’t really nervous,” he said. “I knew coming in it would be a big stage (because) this is a huge stadium to play in. When you get out there it’s just playing football.” Saturday was also a day of milestones for junior wide receiver Terrence Murphy and free safety Jaxson Appel. Murphy recorded his 100th career catch, while Appel became just the third Aggie defen sive back to reach 100 tackles in a single season. The Aggies will need this boost of confidence as they travel to Norman, Okla., to face the No. 1 team in the coun try. But McNeal said if the team does the things it did against Kansas, it should be in a good position to challenge OU. “We have to come out and play for four quarters like we did (Saturday),” McNeal said. “We just have to come out and do what we have to do.” If anything, it was a dream come true for Franchione, as all the harping about establishing momentum on the first drive of the second half finally came to fruition. “The first eight to nine minutes of the third quarter decided the football game,” Franchione said. “We got them pinned down and got a touchdown on defense which helped create a 17-point difference. They scored and we answered, and I think that was the big swing in the game.” In previous games against Oklahoma State and Nebraska, the Cowboys and Buskers scored quickly in the second half and gained momentum to propel them to wins over the Aggies. Without question, the success of the Aggies in stopping Kansas in the early third quarter proved to be the catalyst for the victory. Kansas did not go quietly, as Barmann threw for three second-half touchdowns on his way to a career day of 294 yards and four touchdowns, the best single game passing effort by a freshman in KU history. However, after storming out of the gates in the third quarter, the Aggies had already put enough distance between them selves and the Jayhawks to secure the win. The win gives the Aggies some needed momentum before they head up to OU Saturday to face a No. 1- ranked Sooner team that will want nothing less than a massacre at Memorial Stadium to make up for last year’s loss at Kyle Field that cost OU a shot at the national title. Soccer Continued from page 5 save of the night, deflecting the ball wide of the goal. In the 108th minute of the match, Aggie junior forward Emma Smith was able to split two Texas defenders in the 18-yard box and took a shot while sliding to the turf that sailed inches to the right of the Longhorn goal. Aggie senior midfielder Kristen Strutz fol lowed in the next minute with a shot from 20 yards out that was saved by Texas goalkeeper Alex Gagarin. The counterattack that followed resulted in the Longhorn penalty kick and the 2-1 Texas victory. “We never gave up,” said Texas coach Chris Petrucelli. “It was looking pretty grim for us, we were staring a loss in the face. Somehow we found a way to get a ball by Kati Jo (Spisak). It shows a lot of character for us.” The result leaves the Aggies with the No. 5 seed in the Big 12 Tournament in San Antonio, where they will face Nebraska, a 2-1 winner over the Aggies in their earlier meeting this season. “To give up a silly goal with just 37 seconds left is crushing,” Guerrieri said. “The effort was there. We’ve had so many results like this where we had the effort to get it done. It’s a frustrating thing for a coach, and I know its frustrating for a young group of players like we have, but these are hard lessons to learn. We think they can pay out, and we still think we can win the Big 12 Tournament.” SPORTS IN BRIEF Aggies get win against Tigers The No. 21 Texas A&M volleyball team extended its winning streak to seven with a crucial 30-21, 13-30, 30-28, 27-30, 15-13 victory over No. 24 Missouri Saturday in front of 2,344 fans at the Hearnes Center. The Aggies improve to 17-5 overall and 9-3 in the Big 12 to move into third place in the league stand ings, a half game ahead of the Tigers. Missouri, which suffered its first home loss of the season, falls to 16-6, 9-4. A&M overcame a three-point deficit in the fifth and deciding game and took its first lead at 7-6 following a block by Carrie Moreira and Kendra Felder. The Tigers answered with a kill and an ace to regain a one-point lead. A&M matched Missouri point for point, tying the score five times before back-to-back kills by Laura Jones gave the Aggies a 13-12 advantage. The Tigers got a kill to tie the score for the ninth time in the game before Carol Price registered consecutive kills to seal the victory. Four Aggies reached double digits in kills with Jones posting team highs of 19 kills and a .405 hit ting percentage. Melissa Munsch tied her season high with a team-leading 21 digs, and Price, Felder and Tara Pulaski tallied four blocks apiece as A&M out- blocked Missouri, 9-3. Missouri, which outhit A&M .249 to .226, was led by Shen Danru, who recorded 22 kills but was held to a .179 hitting efficiency. Lindsey Noll had 20 kills and hit .450 for the match. Monday, November 3, 2003 A&M men match best ever finish By Staff & Wire THE BATTALION The No. 25 Texas A&M men’s cross country team tied its highest finish ever at the Big 12 Championships with a third- place finish while the A&M women took eighth on Friday at the Barton Creek Lakeside Golf Course. The A&M men scored 119 points to finish behind Colorado (38) and Oklahoma State (91) in the team standings. “Overall I was pleased with the way we competed in both races,” said A&M cross country coach Dave Hartman. “I think we probably went out a little too hard and that hurt us late in the race with the heat and humidity. “We have regionals in two weeks and I think we have a lot of room for improvement. We will have smarter race plans and hopefully cooler weather in two weeks. I think we can still chal lenge for the top 2-3-4 spots for the girls. The guys are sitting pretty good. We have to stick together and stay confident. I think we have a good shot going into regionals.” The men’s team was paced by senior Tommy Bonn, who earned All-Big 12 honors in cross coun try for the first time with a 15th place finish. He traversed the 8,000-meter loop in 25:17.8. He was trailed by sophomore Brian McKinstry (22nd, 25:34.4), junior Jon Lewis (23rd, 25:35.4), senior Andrew Cook (24th, 25:36.1), senior Joe Lanzillotti (36th, 26:04.8), sophomore Matt McLeod (48th, 26:33.3), true freshman Jose Moctezuma (60th, 27:01.0) and junior Frank Gonzalez (66th, 27:15.5). “Overall, I thought the guys did real well,” Hartman said. “We ran solid as a team and I was happy with the way our fifth guy ran today.” In the women’s race, the Aggies were paced by junior Vanessa Kelly and true fresh man Jamie Geissler, who placed 26th and 27th, respectively. Kelly covered the 6,000- meter circuit in 22:47.2 and Geissler finished in 22:48.7. “We were real aggressive in the first half,” Hartman said. “It’s nice to see that we’re going for it and stepping up to the big time. I’d much rather they do that than sit back and do nothing. With this course, along with the heat and humid ity, we really paid for that aggressiveness in the second half.” Both A&M squads will compete in the 2003 NCAA South Central Regional Championships on Nov. 15 at the Texas Farm Bureau Course in Waco. Fast break JP Beato III • THE BATTALION Texas A&M sophomore Marcus Watkins scored 17 points for the White team, but it was not enough as the Maroon squad held on for a 87-86 win in an intrasquad scrimmage Saturday.
