DAILY J, Jeff Mathewson HERALD CORRESPONDENT If at first you don't succeed Try again with friends. A uhie different than the original words of advice, but as BYlTs Jacob Cavanaugh win displayed in his team's over the Yakima Reds on Friday night, they're definitely 0 effective. Rather than scream in frustration after seeing one of his shots in the first half get blocked by Yakima goalkeeper Robert McCurdy, Cavanaugh decided instead to enlist the help of teammate David Clark and get some retribution. A mere 15 seconds later, revenge became sweet for Cavanaugh. Clark dribbled the ball and blew past an outside blocker on the near side, juked another defender and tapped it with the back of his foot to a cutting Cavanaugh, who coolly put it into the back of the net. "Clark had a great run on that goal and created that shot for him," said BYU coach Christ Watkins. "He (Cavanaugh) found himself in a great position and made things happen for us all game." With Clark and Cavana-ugh'- s quick exchange, many were expecting the match to g be a affair. However, both teams turned up their defense and aggressiveness an extra level, playing to a stalemate for the next 55 minutes. With time winding down late in the game and still high-scorin- BYU Continued from CI the trailing the Cougars Reds used some desperate measures to try to score the equalizer. Hoping to take advantage of a tiring BYU defense, Yakima brought nine players down onto the offensive end. The Reds fired multiple shots at goalie Brandon Gil- - '; Ham down the stretch, but the; strong backline play of Richie Bindrup, James Bindrupl and Andrew VanWagenen stifled the Yakima attack. "Our defense did a good job and didn't give them anything real nice inside the box," Wat-kin- s said. "Even though they were throwing nine guys at us we didn't give them anything inside of eighteea" Yakima even tried pulling its goalkeeper down on the offensive end to find some sort of crack in the Cougars' defen' sive armor. It didn't pay off however, as BYU continued to display its defensive dominance over the Reds. On two separate occasions in the final minutes of the game, forwards Steven Fellows and Tony Nicoli dribbled down to the other end and nearly scored additional goals for the Cougars. One goal would be enough on this night for the Cougars, who won't have much time to celebrate this victory. BYU now turns its attention to tonight, as it plays host to the Spokane Spiders and will attempt to earn a spot in the U.S. Open Cup with a win.
