THE BATTALION Thursday, November 20, 2003
Tasker
Continued from page 1 B
scoring with a 73.31 average - the best by an Aggie since All-
American Anthony Rodriguez in 1995 - and earning PING All-
Region honors.
This season. Tasker, Stephen Reed and Parker Briley make up a
trio of senior captains providing veteran leadership to a relatively
inexperienced A&M team.
“All three are such hard workers, they lead by example and they
also demand a lot out of their teammates,” Higgins said. “They’ve
been everything I’ve wanted out of their senior years.”
A&M completed the fall season Oct. 21 with a fifth-place fin
ish at the Barona Cup that included a school-record 13-under-par
second round. The Aggies placed highly in several tournaments,
including a second-place finish at the Mason Rudolph Collegiate in
Nashville, Tenn.
“We’ve had some good finishes but we haven’t really had a tour
nament where we’ve all played well,” Tasker said. “We feel we
haven’t accomplished anywhere near what we can.”
Reed, who tied for first place at the Mason Rudolph Collegiate,
said the Aggies wouldn’t be in contention this season without
Tasker’s arrival in 2002.
“Before he got here we didn’t really have a solid number two
guy that’s real solid in all aspects of the game,” Reed said. “He’s a
guy that can be as good as he wants to be.”
A&M doesn’t play again until February, and Tasker said he’ll use
the time off to catch up on schoolwork and adjust his swing. He
wouldn’t mind visiting his family and friends back in Willowvale,
New South Wales, but he’s been back only twice in three years
because of pricey plane tickets and the thousands of miles of travel.
“Being that far away from family is kind of hard, but there’s just
so many opportunities (here),” he said. “I wouldn’t have a chance
to go to college and play a college sport at the level it is over here.
It’s unbelievable. The competition there is good but it’s nothing
compared to what it is here.”
Volleyball
Continued from page 1 B
difficult to defend for a lot of
reasons,” Corbelli said of
Nicholas. “As a senior she was
n’t going to go out playing on
the back row, I guess.”
The Aggies will play two of
their last three games away from
home, most notably against
Kansas State on Nov. 26.
The Wildcats, who are in first
place in the Big 12, defeated
A&M earlier this season at G.
Rollie White.
“We’ve done all the practic
ing that they’re going to need to
finish out really strong,”
Corbelli said. “I think we just
need to stay really focused and
work on cleaning up and polish
ing a few things.”
Cowboys
Continued from page IB
Those are the two teams that kept the Cowboys from scoring.
So what’s Parcells got in mind for changing his team’s offensive
fortunes?
“You can’t wholesale change a lot of things,” Parcells said.
“You don’t have an inordinate number of options, so we just got to
hope we can do better than we’ve been doing.”
In Sunday night’s 12-0 loss at New England, Parcells said his
offense had 11 mental errors and four dropped balls. Along with
five penalties, three turnovers and a sack.
Those kinds of problems are keeping the
Cowboys from sustaining offensive drives, which
is a big part of their plan. All of the losses came
in the only games in which they didn’t have at
least a four-minute advantage in time of posses
sion.
And maybe other teams are starting to figure
parcells out the Cowboys.
“Teams are scheming us well,” Carter said.
“We’re not helping ourselves either. We’ve got to play better.
That’s obvious.”
Parcells said Carter, the third-year quarterback who won the job
during training camp, isn’t the problem. He disagrees with the
notion that Carter is digressing, even though he threw three inter
ceptions last week while going over 200 yards passing for the first
time in six games.
“I think Quincy will be fine if we can just get every everything,
most everything else kind of in order for him,” Parcells said.
“Penalties, things like that. If we can do some of that better, I think
we’ll be OK.”
The Cowboys also have to be more productive running the ball
and receivers have to do a better job of catching it.
Troy Hambrick has two 100-yard games, but was held to 60
yards or less in seven other games and is averaging just 3.4 yards
per carry. The top three receivers — Joey Galloway, Terry Glenn
and Antonio Bryant — have just 10 catches the last two games.
Still, the Cowboys share first place in the NFC East with
Philadelphia, which has won five straight games since losing at
Dallas.
“Right now, I’ve got a team that has a chance to compete,”
Parcells said. “We’ve got tough games coming up and I’m not
going to dwell on negative things in front of my team. It’s no time
to be doing that. It’s time to be looking forward.”
SPORTS IN BRIEF
Women’s tennis
signs three
Texas A&M women's tennis
coach Bobby Kleinecke
announced the signing of three
student-athletes to national letters
of intent.
Anna Blagodarova, from
Toronto, Ontario, was ranked No.
6 in the Canada 2002 Junior
National Final Rankings in both
girls 18 singles and girls 18 dou
bles and is arguably the top
Canadian college recruit this year.
She was the singles and doubles
champion at the Olympic Ontario
Open and was a finalist at the
$9,000 Canadian Indoor Open. In
addition, Blagodarova was the
doubles champion at the Under
18 Outdoor Provincials. She
placed fifth in the 2002 Under 18
Outdoor Nationals.
Blagodarova chose A&M over
Auburn, Oregon and San Diego.
Tiffany Clifford, from Little Rock,
Ark., has been ranked the No. 1
player in Arkansas since she was
12 years old, and she also is
ranked in the top 10 in the
Southern Section and in the top
100 nationally.
Clifford selected A&M over
Alabama, Auburn, Arkansas and
LSU.
Marisa Druss, from Austin,
trains at Barton Creek Country
Club and John Newcombe’s
Tennis Ranch, is a top-five player
in Texas and ranked in the top
100 nationally. She was selected
Westlake High School's most valu
able player for the 2003-2003 sea
son. Clifford, who has trained at
John Newcombe’s Tennis Ranch
in New Braunfels, Texas, for the
past three years, was the 2002-03
recipient of the Spencer Ritchie
Leadership Award. She chose
A&M over Virginia, Rice, Colorado
and Purdue.
“I am very pleased with our early
signees," Kleinecke said. “Not
only are they great tennis players,
but they are conscientious stu
dents and great people. Team
chemistry is so important, and I
know Anna, Tiffany and Marisa will
add a lot to our team.”
Large hall and classrooms with
commercial kitchen available.
Perfect for dances, parties, receptions and
corporate training or meetings.
