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.
