Park City scored the game's first goal when Jason Miller found Alex Knudsen open on the wing with a crisp pass. Knudsen got the ball to forward Sanchez, whose touch-shot was again high and wide of the goal. The Wasatch goalkeeper couldn't catch the ball cleanly. The ever-present ever-present Thimm deftly placed the ' mishandled ball in the back of the net. This instant of jubilation quickly turned to dismay as Wasatch defender Jason Mahoney took Thimm down from behind after the ball had been shot Thimm didn't get up, sustaining the injury that may keep him on the sidelines the rest of the season. After Thimm's injury, Park City suffered a let-down, retreating from their passing style of play. Wasatch's forward was able to score, in the last minute of the first half, when a near-collision between Park City defender Joe Pack and mid-fielder Tom Gross created a hole in the Parkite defense, making the halftime score 1-1. ; Sweeper Bryson sustained a quadricep injury, which hampered his play late in the first half, and finally forced him to the sidelines early in the second half. Wasatch mid-fielder Travis Pitts broke through the Park City defense ten minutes into the second half and supped the ball past goalkeeper goal-keeper Sean Toplinrud for Wasatch's second goal. Park City was able to equalize. Minutes later, a long offensive run by senior w : . 0 ' ' T V 'Kit ' Brady Bradford plays defense in defender Carson Woolley was cleared by Wasatch goalkeeper to .defender Bradford. Bradford centered cen-tered the ball nicely to forward Knudsen, who left a well-placed drop-pass for mid-fielder Gross. A hard shot from Gross gave the Wasatch goalkeeper no chance, tying the score 2-2. Ten minutes later, Wasatch got another goal when Park City's defense was caught out of position pushing for a go-ahead goal, making mak-ing the score 3-2 for Wasatch with 15 minutes remaining in the game.

With four minutes in the game, Gross took another shot that just missed the goal. Less than two minutes of game remained when a furious attack, involving Sanchez, Kevin Hart, and Gross resulted in a goal from forward Knudsen. Park City dominated the first overtime .period and the last part for the second overtime period, but could not get the winning goal for the match. Dropshots How to Play a "Dinker" By Warren Pretorius Head tennis professional, PC Racquet Club On nn ir iiihhwI? One of the most frustrating opponents to play against is a "dinker." A dinker is a player who stands on the baseline, moves like a rabbit (with the endurance of the energized bunny) and never misses. Worst of all, they are probably as mentally tough as can be. How many times have you seen a dinker lose his or her cool and hurl a racket? Errors to this player are as foreign as aces. Most often, players try to blow the dinker off the court by hitting winners. Dinkers thrive on their opponents' errors; they want you to go for those big shots. Although they love those long points, hacking it out from the back fence, nothing is more satisfying sat-isfying to them than your quick, unforced error. So how do you beat an opponent who never misses? , First of all, you have to take a dinker out of his comfort com-fort zone. Dinkers like the baseline and typically play a passive, counter-punching game. Draw the dinker into the net by hitting soft, short balls. Don't be too worried about this opponent moving in and crushing your short ball for a winner, that is not the style of a dinker. Ashe moves into foreign turf, go for the well-placed passing shots or lobs to finish the point off. In other words, force the dinker to hit a winner. As a change-up, you can also try getting into the net on short balls, expecting your opponent to lob you. Then hit overheads aggressively. aggres-sively. lie key ingredient, through, is more mental than physical be patient and stick to your game plan. As soon as you show signs of frustration or anger, your opponent has you right where they want you. This opponent will fry to outwit and outlast you, not overpower over-power you. C i . Most of all, respect a dinker his bite is worse than his bark!

More than 500 cyclists from throughout the state are expected to pedal 150 miles 75 miles each day to raise money to fight Multiple Sclerosis. More than 10,000 suffer from the disease. . "The most powerful tool in the fight against Multiple Sclerosis might be hanging in your garage," said Utah Chapter Executive Director MeriLyn Barrutia. "Getting on your bike and riding Utah's Best Dam MS 150 Bike Tour is a fun way to raise a lot of money to fight MS. This year is special, as we mark 50 years that the National Multiple Sclerosis Society has been serving people with MS. The money cyclists raise this year will help us in out efforts to dose in on a cure," added Barrutia. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a devastating devas-tating and unpredictable chronic disease dis-ease of the central nervous system. MS randomly attacks the central nervous system, wearing away con trol over the body. Generally affecting people between 20 and 40 years of age, MS symptoms range from imbalance and numbness to paralysis and blindness. . People with MS never know when attacks will occur, how long they will last or how much of their ability will be left when the attack is over. There is currently no known cause or cure for multiple sclerosis. Cyclists raise money by collecting pledges for each mile they pedaL In order to participate, all riders must raise a minimum of $150. All money raised help fund research into the causes and possible cures of multiple sclerosis. It also provides local services ser-vices for Utahns living with MS. "The National MS Society has made more progress in MS research in the last five years than in the first 50," said Barrutia. "At this point literally lit-erally every dollar pushes us just that much closer to a cure," she added.
