Aggies top Texas A&M Commerce
- by Christina Frye: Staff Writer

Following a slight setback after the losses endured in the LSC Crossover, the Aggies came back and attacked with a vengeance Oct.2.

The Aggies swept the floor with their opponents in the Texas A&M-Commerce vs. Cameron conference play at the Aggie Gym.

The Aggies, lead by middle blocker Nicole Reinhart, trampled over the Texas A&M team, scoring 30-17 in the first game, 30-20 in the second and 30-28 in the final game. Reinhart, for the second week in a row, was named the Lone Star Conference North Division Player of the Week for her contributions in the past two weeks’ performances. Reinhart managed to hit .481 with 15 kills, three digs and four blocks in the Texas A&M games, and is one of the only players in the league this season, which has averaged one block per game.

Reinhart has not been the only Aggie player in the spotlight this season.

In addition to Reinhart’s achievements, senior Jenny Head has been named the Defensive Player of the Week three times, and sophomore Vicki Ibarra was named Setter of the Week.

The Aggies’ outstanding performances lately have made them a fierce opponent for the rest of the conference teams. In the Texas A&M match-up, Morgan Meyer had an outstanding game hitting .275, with 16 kills and 11 digs; Taran Turner hit .286 and had nine kills and four blocks. Together, the Aggies conquered Texas A&M, managing to hit .229 as a team, which towered over the A&M hitting percentage of only 0.74.

The Aggies now hold a 10-10 record. They are back on track and ready for the next challenge in the conference.

The Aggies hit the road last week, to play against Midwestern State, Thursday at Wichita Falls and then traveled to Denton to battle Texas Women’s University at 1 p.m. Saturday.
