Tiffany Anderson and Mackenzi Allen stepped into the ring at the 125-pound female class. Anderson, a mother of seven who debuted in the first Cache Valley Clash, tripped Allen on the inside to bring her down for the tapout 2:47 into the first round. Anderson's road to the Clash started 11 months ago when she decided to lose weight. "Last year I decided to lose some weight, I started at 180 pounds and now I am 125 pounds and have abs," Anderson said. "I feel great, I trained really hard and came here to win and feel good about it. I was confident that I was ready for whatever Allen could dish out." Gardner said that involving women into the MMA world has been positive for the sport as well as the women who participate in it. "This Anderson's second fight and Allen's first fight and to have them come in here and put themselves out there is great," Gardner said. "I think !gamin w ANTHONY MILLER, BOTTOM, GRAPPLES WITH TANNER COHEN, TOP, in the I 55-pound match Saturday. JAMIE CRANE photo it symbolizes what we put into it and what we get out of it." Mike Foster and Robert La Cruix wrapped up the Clash, fighting at the 185-pound weight class. La Cruix came into the fight undefeated, but Foster took the fight within seconds. "The fights were stopped a little early in a few of them, but in the end of the day the fights were phenom- enal," Gardner said. "They are still at an amateur level. It's a starting progress and a lot of debuts tonight." - mega.bodi@aggiemail.usu.edu From Page 9 Tennis drops two at home to conference rivals 111111111st sr. rellass. liolooni..

The fight of the night came from Dustin Jenkins and Jelani Smith in the 155-pound weight class. Smith, from Denver, Colo., and Jenkins were the most technical MMA fighters in the event, and exhibited a higher level of skill. After three rounds, the fight went the judge's scorecards which, unanimously gave the win to Jenkins. "The best textbook match, evenly matched going toe-to-toe was Smith and Jenkins," Chambers said. "They went back and forth and they both spent equal time trading blows and I feel like it was an evenly-matched fight, which is what we look for in MMA." Gardner said the fight was not just about fighting, but about a comeback for Smith. "To see Smith and Jenkins go at it was great," Gardner said. "This is Smith's first fight back after a death of a friend and having him die has really affected Smith. To see that makes you realize what you have to live for. Although it was only a fight, USU'S WHITING BROTHERS take a breather during a match against Idaho on Friday. CURTIS RIPPLINGER photo With the momentum seemingly on the junior's racket, the match went into a third set tie breaker. Brooklyn and Poslusny battled at the baseline until an unforced error gave the Warrior a 7-5 lead. From then on, the Aggie could not break back to win the match, losing 5-7, 6-3, 7-10. "I think I fought hard. If it had been a regular set, it would have been different," Poslusny said. "(Brooklyn) came up with some really good tennis in the tie breaker." Straight set losses plagued the Aggies in the other matches, as Hawaii routinely dismissed USU's young team. "Hawaii came out fired up today from a loss yesterday (to UI), we just got outplayed in that last part of the match," Marchant said. "The effort was good, but just getting more experienced." Fritz was dismissed by Dmytro Kovalyov 6-0, 6-1 in the No. 2 singles position and Lenny Whiting, filling in for injured Sweet, lost to Chas Okamoto 6-2, 6-1 in the No. 3 singles spot. Ballam fell against Nils Schuhmann 6-0, 6-1 in the No. 4 singles position and Wearmouth was defeated by Jared Spiker 6-2, 6-3 at No. 5 singles. Seeing action for the second time this spring season, sophomore Brandon Nielsen lost in two sets against Danilo Casanova in the No. 6 singles position. The Logan native was served a bagel in the first set and lost the second set 3-6 to conclude singles action. Utah State will conclude their regular season with three matches this week, starting with a rivalry matchup against Weber on Tuesday. "We just have to be ready mentally, come out fired up," Marchant said. "We are looking to beat them, always a good rivalry, looking to go down and get it done." - mega.bodi@aggiemail.usu.edu From Page 8 Utah State outscores Utah Valley Wolverines by a combined 53-2 USU had a total of 57 hits over the three-game series, and there were at least five players who Doyle said deserve conference player of the week accolades. "We had five guys who were really tough at-bats," Doyle said. They just couldn't get them out." Fifth-year senior center fielder Brett Jensen went 5 of 7 with a home run, while scoring 11 runs, and Stranski went 7 of 11 with a home run and six RBIs. Johnson totaled five hits in eight at-bats, including two home runs and eight RBI's, and Garrett went a perfect 7 for 7 with a double, home run and seven RBI's. 1 1■1111■■P WOMEN: Team Scores 1.Utah State 148 2.

"When we had runners in scoring positions, we came through," Johnson said. "We were able to get big hits to score them. People were coming through with timely hits. It made a big difference." USU has the goal of remaining undefeated on the season and repeating as conference champions, which may prove to be daunting task, Doyle said. "It puts somewhat of a target on our back," Doyle said. "Everyone knows that we're the defending champions of the conference, and everyone gets up for us a little bit more. It puts a little more pressure on us, but I think we have a team that is capable of defending that title." USU faces Weber State on Friday and Saturday with a twinbill the second day at Lindquist Field in Ogden. "We've just got to remember not to get complacent," Johnson said. "We've gone on a stretch of winning, and we need to not let it get to our heads. We've just got to keep focused for these next games to do our very best and continue to have that momentum." - ty.d.hus@aggiemail.usu.edu MONDO MID-MA OR CHALLENGE TRACK AND FIELD RESULTS 3.
