That touchdown put the Jacks on top 28-- 3 and completed the scoring plays for the game. Langstons field goal was his fh'st attempted field goal this season despite bemg seven games into the season. Even though it gave up 28 points, DSCs defense played one of then best games of the season. Senior linebacker Keauntea Bankhead led the Red Storm with 12 tackles and was the anchor to the defense. ceiver Kyser Christensen, an integrated studies major from Boise, Idaho, said big plays are holding DSC back. We cant give up the big plays, Christensen said. That puts us behind, and were always fighting to get back to the top. If we just eliminate those we have a great team. Christensen led DSCs receiving coips with four receptions for 68 yards. Senior wide receiver Nash Fowler continued to be Stevensons primary receptions for 33 yards. Stevenson finished the game 1 for 152 14-3- yards. Coach Scott Brumfield said Stevenson played well despite getting sacked three times. We had a few breakdowns in our protections, Brumfield said. I thought for the most part he played well. I think he played good enough for us to win, and we just got to surround some things up around him. DSCs ground attack was the Antelopes, so the Red Storm didn't attack the net as they should have. He said confidence is the biggest thing the team needs for the rematch on Saturday. They played a nice brand of soccer, said junior midfielder Zac Hales, a psychology major from St. George. They move the ball around really nice. We kind of got unlucky a little bit at times. We need to focus a little more on making better passes and better decisions going forward. The wm helped the Antelopes keep pace with Notre Dame de Namur Uni-- . versity for control of the Pacific West Conference. The schools are tied for first place. The loss caused DSC to in the PacWest, fall to but it still kept its distance from Academy of Art University to stay in fifth place. The Red Storm also -1 played a game on Saturday against Northwest Nazarene University that was a positive note. Sophomore forward Jordan Roylance scored the gamewinning goal in overtime as the Red Storm exited Nampa, Idaho with a 2 win. DSC returns to the field Saturday in Phoenix for a rematch with the GCU Antelopes. Theyre a good team, but I was pleased with how we played, Ortiz said.

Indeed he did hit the net again in the 75th minute to score the Antelopes final goal of the game. GCUs second goal came from junior midfielder Mitchell Garcia on a free kick in the 54th minute. Garcia kicked from about 30 yards away, and the ball curled tightly into the right comer of the net. The second goal was world class, Ortiz said. Whos going to stop that? I dont care whos in goal that ball is going in the net. Ortiz said he thought the DSC players were a little too worried about stopping 3-- 9-- again led by junior running back Jesse Ence. He finished the game with 18 rushes for 28 yards, but he left in the third quarter with a shoulder injury. That really set us back in the second half a little bit, Brumfield said. We had to move Sione from fullback to tailback and for tire most part I thought he did a good job of running the balk Sione Tapuosi, a junior running back, replaced Ence and finished the game with 13 car 19 Antelopes defeat Red Storm MDUIJ BY RICHARD BRIGGS Sports Editor f A The entire basketball world prepared for what happened AX 'after the T'-sclo-ck struck zero and Kobe Bryant raced down the court in game seven of the NBA Finals with the ball in his arms. The Los Angeles Lakers were NBA champions for the second straight year, but this was not the significant story surrounding the league. No, the big story came weeks later on July 8. In this fall... this is very tough... in this fall Im going to take my talents to South Beach and join the Miami Heat. This infamous quote belongs to none other than LeBron James, the man who single handedly changed the face of the NBA in a special on ESPN. King James gave up his throne in Cleveland to join forces with fellow super-star- s Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. The great debate of NBA supremacy began, and the anticipation for tipoff on Tuesday swelled within the hearts of all basketball fans. Here are the teams I predict will make a huge impact this season. one-ho- ur ries for 51 yards, most of which came in the second half. Sione is definitely a different type of runner than Jesse, Brumfield said. We made some adjustments at halftime with our blocking schemes, and our offensive line did a better job of finding some stuff for Sione to find those holes." Christensen said he thinks Tapuosi was a key component to the offense in the second half. He did a good job, Christensen said. He got the yards we needed on eveiy carry. I wouldnt want to meet him in the hole because when he gets going hes a tank. He did well coming in and producing like we needed him to. jiK!v,fi;w EASTERN CONFERENCE There is no question the Heat have become the clear favorites to represent the Eastern Conference in the NBA Finals. The team signed most of its players to minimum contracts to make way for the three maximum contracts it gave James, Wade and Bosh, but dont be fooled by the numbers. Many of the players who signed minimum contracts are viable players who made decent contributions for their former teams. The Heat also retained Udonis Haslem and Mario Chalmers, who will greatly benefit by having added help in South Beach. Lets keep things in Florida for my pick to be the team most likely to give the Heat a challenge, the Orlando Magic. The problem in Orlando for the last two years has been the youth of the team. The Magic went to the Finals against the Lakers in 2009, but they fell flat on their faces. The Magic followed it up during the summer with a loss to the veteran Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals. The team is experienced now, and it should know what to expect. There are no excuses this year for Dwight Howard. He needs to be a better leader and carry his team. The Boston Celtics will see NBA page 4 |
