A&M head coach Laurie Corbelli sit id her team’s great performance has boosted their confidence. “We’ve had the opportunity to experience a total team effort,” Corbelli said. “Everyone has been on the same intensity level, and that will be a great asset as we start the conference season.” Corbelli said her only con cerns for Wednesday are the normal concerns: Lack of ag gression on passing and reluc tance on serving. However, she is confident the team is focused and prepared to play with a re laxed intensity. Aggie senior middle blocker/ outside hitter Melissa Munsch said the team is always ready to start the Big 12 conference. She said the team is focused right now, but plays better when it is having fun. “We just have to let it come naturally,” Munsch said. CONGRATULATIONS! Thank You!
