The Wildcats went into College Station, Texas, under the belief that they would come home with their first conference win of the 2009 season. Unfortunately, Texas A&M had other plans.

K-State (6-9, 0-5 Big 12 Conference) wasn't able to snap its conference losing streak as the Wildcats were outmatched by the Aggies (11-3, 4-2) and lost in three sets Wednesday night at Reed Arena.

The teams played each other evenly, jumping out to a 6-6 tie in the opening set, but Texas A&M used a 6-0 run midway through the set to take control. The Aggies kept the Wildcats in check and took a 1-0 lead by winning the set 25-16.

K-State never found its rhythm in the second set as Texas A&M jumped to an early 3-0 lead and gradually pulled away. The Wildcats never managed more than two consecutive points and the Aggies took a 25-15 set win and a 2-0 lead into the locker room.

The Wildcats came out fighting in the third and final set, battling the Aggies and taking a 10-9 lead, but a 10-1 Texas A&M run closed the door on a potential comeback attempt and handed K-State its sixth straight loss and seventh out of its last eight tries.

Jennifer Banse and Sarah Ammerman led the Aggies with 12 and 11 kills, respectively. Ammerman also recorded 11 digs to complete a double-double. As a team, Texas A&M made very few mistakes and managed a solid .374 hitting percentage on the night.

K-State was kept off balance from start to finish and only managed a team hitting percentage of .186 while hitting nine service errors. Senior middle blocker Kelsey Chipman led the Wildcats with nine kills and a .562 hitting percentage. Junior outside hitter JuliAnne Chisholm, who was averaging a team-high 3.16 kills per set entering the match, was held to just five kills on the night while hitting .043.

The Wildcats will cap off the two-match road trip when they take on Nebraska on Saturday in Lincoln. First serve is set for 7 p.m.
