team brings to the court. She
said the team is spreading the
ball among a variety of attack
ers and has some great weapons
from antenna to antenna.
Wildcat head coach Suzie
Fritz said that offensively, her
players have the ability to be a
pretty terminal team.
“We are a relatively aggressive
serving team,” Fritz said. “We’re
continuing to develop our iden
tity; it’s still early in the year.”
Fritz said many of her players
are growing into their roles and that
she especially likes freshman libero
Angie Lastra’s performance on de
fense. Lastra had her 10th straight
10-plus dig performance on Thurs
day night against North Dakota
State as she notched 15 digs.
Five Wildcat players hit better
than .300 Thursday and the team
earned a .359 hitting average on
the night. So far on the season,
the team averages 14.5 kills per
game and 14 digs with an attack
percentage of .237.
Fritz said she expects A&M
to bring a good, balanced attack
and her team will have to watch
out for Munsch and junior out
side hitter Laura Jones.
“A&M is a very good volleyball
team; we’ll have to play extremely
well to be successful,” Fritz said.
Jones said the gym at K-State
is a difficult place to play; how
ever, she said the team knows

she is looking forward to the
game, because the outcome w ill
be something no one expects.
"1 think that everyone in]

Perhaps no game epitomized that season more than a six-turnover per-
formance resulting in a loss to lowly Southwestern Louisiana State, 29-22.
The defeat set the tone for the Aggies, but everyone knew they
were better than what their record showed. They set out to prove it
in the 1997 campaign, and they did.
That same defeat apparently stuck in the Aggies’ craw. The enraged
Ags reeled off five wins in a row, including a vengeful 66-0 shellack
ing of Southwestern Louisiana. Losses to Kansas State and Texas Tech
were followed by a memorable 17-point comeback against Oklahoma
State and a freezing, rain-soaked victory over Texas.
An incredible 10 defensive starters from the 1997 team went on
to play in the NFL, including Nguyen, Rich Coady, Warrick Hold-
man and Jason Webster.
While the team got crushed by Nebraska in the Big 12 championship
game and lost to UCLA in the Cotton Bowl, the stage was set to win the
conference in 1998.
The current squad of players may fail to go to a bowl game. Wild
inconsistency, the hallmark of a young team, may keep us from see
ing the same team that shelled Clemson on Saturday.
But there’s a trend here. This is the year that will set the tone for
seasons to come. Every time the Aggies have been down, they’ve come
back up with a vengeance. Be patient — that big trophy will come to
Aggieland soon enough.
