Cards spank Jags
Nationally ranked Texas Tech coming Friday
By Tom Riley
UP sports editor
Lamar University’s volleyball
team evened up its season record
and pocketed its first conference win
with a convincing 15-3, 15-8, 15-6
win over Sun Belt Conference foe
South Alabama at McDonald Gym
Friday.
“Every game counts in confer-
ence,” Coach Katrinka Crawford
said. “Every game you win or lose
counts for or against you in seedings,
so I told them that teams like South
Alabama we need to dominate.”
The Lady Jags (2-9) could not
match LU’s .456 hitting percentage
or 37 team kills in 68 attacks.
South Alabama hit a respectable
.226 but managed only 20 kills in 62
total attempts for the match.
“We knew we had to get on top of
them right from the start ... we had
to play our game,” said Shawn
Flowers, Channelview sophomore.
“We were mentally prepared. We
stayed focused the whole time.”
Rae Richter, Houston freshman,
filled in for an ailing Melissa Miller
and led the way for the Lady Cards
with nine kills (.353 percentage) and
11 digs.
Miriam Erickson had 10 digs and
put down seven kills with one error
in 12 attempts for a .500 hitting per-
centage to up her season average to
.251.
Team hitting percentage and
blocks leader Kim Green increased
her average to .300 with six kills and
one error in 10 attack attempts (.500
percentage) and her season block

total to 49 (17 solos, 32 block assists)
by stuffing six USA attacks. Green
had five of LU’s nine service aces.
“We served tough, and when we
had the ball we ran our offense and
ran it very well,” Crawford said.
Freshman Robin Rains got into
the action in the last game and
promptly contributed with two kills
in three attempts and one solo block
as well as serving to final point of the
match.
“It feels good,” Rains said. “If
you keep working hard in practice
and then get to play in a game situa-
tion you’re just going to improve.”
A jubilant Flowers continued her
bid for conference assist leader with
26 in the three-game match to go
with 11 digs.
“I missed it so much. It’s so good
to be back on the team and having
this much fun again,” Flowers said.
“I’m excited about (the confer-
ence assist lead), but I want to be
first — second’s not best.”
Lamar played at Sam Houston
TUesday and will host Texas Tech
Friday in a rematch of last year’s con-
test that Tech won handily.
“We’re looking forward to it,”
Erickson said. “We want revenge.”

Syracuse put
Snortland grabs second, team seventh, at the Woodlands
MISSION, Kan. (UPI) —
Syracuse University’s athletic pro-
gram was placed on two years’ proba-
tion by the NCAA Thursday for
recruiting violations, with the power-
ful men’s basketball team receiving
the harshest penalties.
However, since Syracuse cooper-
ated in the investigation, the NCAA
said the basketball team would
remain eligible to play in the NCAA
Tournament and on television.
Syracuse is one of the nation’s top
basketball teams and among the
favorites to win the Big East champi-
onship. The NCAA cut scholarships
for the men’s basketball team and
reduced off-campus recruiting visits
by coaches and reimbursed visits by
recruits.
In issuing its 24-page decision,
the main governing body of college
sports also cited the football team,
women’s basketball squad and
wrestling and lacrosse teams.
Syracuse officials held a campus
news conference later in the day.
The NCAA said it would not
penalize the football and women’s
basketball programs because they
considered the violations minor. The
wrestling and lacrosse programs had
scholarships cut.
The NCAA investigation was
prompted by a report in the Syracuse
Post-Standard two years ago that the
school was giving its basketball play-
ers improper payments, meals and
gifts. Syracuse completed its internal
investigation and submitted a report
to the NCAA admitting to more than
a dozen recruiting violations.

The Lamar men’s golf team, led by Brett
Snortland’s runner-up finish, opened its fall
season competing this weekend in The
Woodlands Intercollegiate Golf Tournament at
the Tournament Players Course in Conroe.
Snortland posted a 1-over-par 145 leading
the Cardinals to a seventh-place finish out of
18 teams. Lamar shot rounds of 306-318 for
624, 23 strokes behind the 601 posted by win-
ner Texas A&M.
Lamar was in fourth place after the first
round, but poor putting and chipping in the
second round kept the Cardinals from haying a
strong finish.
“The team needed a solid second round
from all five players to stay near the lead.
Unfortunately, we only had one from Brett,”
Coach Charles Rodemacher said. “One positive
thing about this tournament is that the guys
now know what to spend more time practicing
on.”'
Snortland, a 1992 regional qualifier, was
pleased with his runner-up finish.
“I expected to play well here because I
grew up playing at The Woodlands Country
Club .... It’s always nice to be around the lead
in a tournament like this because it means
you’re playing pretty well.”
Other scores were Greg Hutcheon, 158;
Rob Raymond, 158; Glynn Johnson, 163; and
Jeff Peck, 168.
