Show Sports Editor: Jarrod Hiatt Phone:. 626-7983 By Jamie Peterson asst. sports editor On Monday night, for the third time this season, the Weber State University women's soccer team pushed a game into sudden-death overtime. But, unlike the previous two games, WSU did not lose this one. The game ended in a 1-1 tie. Ii its first regular-season home game this year, WSU hosted Utah State University. The tie makes WSU's record 1-3-1. Even though the team did not win, WSU head coach Lynn Kofoed was in good spirits after the game. "I'm fairly happy with the way we played," Kofoed said. "I can't say enough about their heart and soul." Fall means only one thing S r f I Rafe Nielsen V'-'vi outdoor columnist With the turning of leaves, comes a variety of activities that only fall can produce. We eagerly await the beginning of a new college football season and follow closely baseball's pennant races. Fresh com and tomatoes from the garden gladden the hearts of the farmer and the hungry. Even the beginning of school has a certain excitement that no one wants to admit. But when the early morning air is a bit chilly, I'm reminded why God granted us an autumn. Fall means one thing only: It's hunting season. I spent my summer fly fishing the desert lakes of Nevada for wild cutthroats and the flooded timbers of Nebraska for northern pike. But walleye and bass don't hold a candle to the legendary fur and feathers of the fall. Soon the mountain air will echo with the sounds of bugling elk, and the marshes will be filled with flights of Canadian geese making their way south. Nothing sends the heart racing like the exploding wings of pheasants as they are flushed from com fields or the crack INSTITUTE DEVOTIONAL rr.. W Speaker: Randy Chatelain USU played a physical game and "carried a 1-0 lead at halftime. USU's Becky Ward scored the lone goal. Kofoed encouraged her players to take advantage of the fact that they were finally playing at home. "We needed more of that Weber State attitude," Kofoed said. "We were playing at home on our own field." Kofoed was pleased with the response from the 'Cats. "Their heart and tenacity during the second half and overtime was wonderful," she said. "I was very proud." Anna Neisen took the call to turn on the aggressiveness personally and got a yellow card during the first five minutes of the second half for being a little too aggressive. "Getting the yellow card was my way of stepping up my play and en- ing of twigs along a deer trail. It is these occasions that can only be found outside the walls of concrete offices and classrooms that fill one's soul with delight and happiness. I made a mistake as a 6-year-old when I refused my dad's invitation to tag along on a morning dove hunt, choosing instead to play in the sandbox. When Dad returned with a limit of doves, I remember telling myself I would never miss another hunting trip. And I haven't. High school dances and football games were replaced by antelope and deer hunts. Birthday parties, weddings and funerals made way for the elk and pheasant seasons. The whistling wings of ducks and geese found precedence over school responsibilities, and jobs were lost because of the anticipation of any opening day. Nothing has been left unsacrificed for an opportunity to hunt. This year is no exception. I have waited all year for the days to shorten and the air to cool, so that I might exhaust my energy in pursuit of whatever might be in season. Sept. 1 marks the beginning of the Mourning Dove hunt, which will undoubtedly find me with gun in hand see Fall page 7 Dr. Randy Chatelain in an Associate Professor of Family Relations at WSU.

Within five minutes, she scored WSU's only goal of the game from the right side of the field, about 20 yards out.
