UTEP was dealt another blow when their head coach ran onto the field after a foul called in favor ofWSU. The head coach was red carded and ejected from the game to join his assistant coach. In the fourth quarter, UTEP's number 5 was yellow carded again for her final warning on unsportsmanlike conduct. Midfielder I layley McCoy had a score attempt at 6 minutes left in the match, but was denied when the ball bounced off the crossbar. With 3 minutes left, Natalie Ellis, a WSU forward, was yellow carded for being offside, and just seconds later, UTEP's number 4 was warned for pushing a WSU player. The game went into a ten\Ji 6 T m 3 n V WCV/DS/ minute overtime with both teams battling hard. The final score went to UTEP with a mere 18 seconds left in overtime when Ritchie dove to block a ball, UTEP faking and moving to the right for an open goal and final score of 3-1. "We definitely had our chances," Natalie Ellis said. "We just didn't have the force at the end, but we had heart. You win some, you lose some.'"

Eteuati had 220 all-purpose yards in Saturday night's game. Two hundred and six of Eteuati's yards came off of punt and kick-off returns. Viking Coach Tim Walsh said Freeman couldn't have said it better. Freeman is Portland State's third string quarterback, starting because of injuries to the top two Viking quarterbacks. Freeman only threw for 50 total yards, but those were crucial yards. He also had no turnovers. "You gotta give them credit," said WSU Head Coach Ron McBride. "They were smart, they didn't do anything stupid. They didn't turn it over, they just played within themselves." With both offenses struggling, it was the team who made the least amount of mistakes that would win. "Should we have won that game?" asked WSU freshman running back Trevyn Smith. "Yeah. We killed ourselves. We kept shooting ourselves in the foot. Penalties killed us, timeouts killed us." The 'Cats had four penalties that cost them 40 yards, 15 of which come off of a personal foul to a WSU offensive lineman on a third-down that gave the Vikings the ball back. The penalty resulted into a field goal that gave Portland State a 3-0 lead. On the ensuing kickoff, WSU sophomore wide receiver Bryant Eteuati fumbled, giving the Vikings prime field position that resulted in a Portland State touchdown to make the score 10-0. In the second quarter, it looked like the Wildcats were gaining momentum. They came out early in the quarter, marching down the field 79 yards on six plays in 1:24. Smith capped off the drive with an 11-yard touchdown run to cut the lead to 10-7. "When I scored I thought, 'hey, we're right in this,'" Smith said. "When we came out from halftime I thought we were on top." The 'Cats weren't on top for long. Portland State came into the hall looking like a different team. They scored an early touchdown after a 68-yard kickoff return. WSU's offense didn't have one first down in the quarter, despite having excellent field position from some excellent defense and precise punting. "I think our defense on a whole was stingy in giving yards," said WSU sophomore nose guard Rio Stotler. "When we did give yards, we just got mad and came back and dominated the play." Stotler had nine tackles in the game, including a sack. "You can't ask a defensive fooiball team to play as well as these guys did," McBride said. McBride tried to light a fire under his offense by bringing in former starting quarterback Ian Pizarro in the third quarter to replace Shawn Woods who had already thrown two interceptions. Pizarro was only 1-4 and threw a detrimental interception in the dying minutes of the game. "I think we just hurt ourselves," Pizarro said. "We were making all of the mistakes. We had opportunities, we just didn't take advantage of it." McBride said he plans on starting Woods next game. The Wildcats will not have a lot of time to regroup for their next game. The University of Northern Colorado will come into town Thursday for a 6:30 p.m. game that will be broadcast on ESPNU. Smith has a bold prediction for the upcoming game. "We'll win the next game," Smith said. "We are going to win the next game. Northern Colorado is going to come in and we are going to win. I have full confidence in that."
