Since the beginning of the 2008 campaign, Suzie Fritz and the K-State volleyball team (11-2, 1-1 Big 12 Conference) have stressed the importance of consistency on the court.
    After a series of ups and downs to begin the season, the No. 17 Wildcats pieced together arguably their most solid match of the year in a sweep against Colorado on Saturday. The team will look to continue that success when they take on Texas A&M (7-6, 1-1) at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday in College Station, Texas.
    The Aggies snapped a three-match losing streak with a 3-2 win over Oklahoma on Monday. The team has gone 7-3 since opening the season with three straight losses in Creighton University’s Bluejay Classic on Aug. 29-30.
    Junior outside hitters Mary Batis and Sarah Ammerman lead the Aggies with an average of 3.55 and 3.10 kills per game, respectively. Senior outside hitters Rita Liliom and Nataly Korobkova, who are averaging 4.27 and 3.12 kills, have paced the Wildcats this season.
    For the last two seasons, the series between the squads has ended in a sweep. Texas A&M took both matches in 2006, and K-State responded by taking both matches last season. Overall, the teams have faced off 25 times, with the Wildcats holding a 14-11 advantage.
