Aggie soccer team ready to fight back after loss
By Jon Gilbert
THE BATTALION
The No. 13 Texas A&M women’s
soccer team suffered its first setback
of the season last Sunday, a 4-1 loss
to No. 12 Clemson. This weekend, the
Aggies will attempt to forget about
that game and jump back on the win
ning track as they travel to Ivy League
country to face Princeton University
and the University of Pennsylvania
this weekend.
The Tigers took advantage of a flat ef
fort by A&M and took the game despite
being outshot 25-10. A&M head coach
G. Guerrieri said his team has not hit the
panic button yet.
“We will be alright,” Guerrieri said.
“It’s just one game. The season isn’t over
for us by any means. I didn't think we got
mauled. We just came out fiat.”
The Aggies head north to face two
teams that are both ranked regionally.
Princeton, ranked No. 5 in the Mid-At
lantic region, has appeared in the NCAA
Tournament each of the past five years
and has 10 returning seniors. They are
coming off a trip to Europe similar to
A&M’s summer trip, and they should be
ready to play.
Pennsylvania, ranked No. 7 in the Mid-
Atlantic region, said it is ready to make a
run at the Ivy League Title.
“We have a tremendous respect for
Texas A&M," said Penn head coach
Darren Ambrose. “They are a very
athletic team and will be a tough op
ponent for us. They had a little bit
of a setback last week, but that will
make them come out and try to rees
tablish themselves. Our preparation
will change after we play The College
of Charleston, and we will get ready
for A&M.”
The loss to Clemson should help out
the Aggies in the long run. The team
learned that anything can happen if it
doesn't bring its “A" game.
"I’m glad we got that loss out of the
way,” said junior goalkeeper Katy Jo
Spisak. “You can tell we are motivated
because the practices have been more
intense.”
Guerrieri agrees that the loss has moti
vated his team and made it or his players
hungrier for a win. Guerrieri said the up
coming games at Princeton and Penn are
not must-win games, hut games that the
team needs to win.
“Every game we go into we have to
win. Yet, if we fight, give it all we have
and just fall short, that’s OK,” Guerrieri
said. That's OK because we gave it our
best shot. A loss this weekend isn't going
to drop us from the NCAAs.”
The Aggies will look to get back on
track offensively this weekend. Senior
Christina Echavarry, the Big 12 Player
of the Week, has been a huge bright spot,
scoring all three of the team’s goals this
season. Yet, she has not been given much
help, and A&M will look for more of a
balanced attack.
The A&M-Princeton game will kick
off at 6:30 p.m., and the Aggies' game at
Pennsylvania on Sunday will get started
at 10:30 a.m.
