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.

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

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.

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.
