Pena scored in the 76th minute to erase a 1 Salt Lake advantage The story line firmed up even more when Sanderson missed badly on his penalty try in the 90th minute The free kick was set up when Pena was called for tripping up Sting midfielder George Pastor in the box as he drove to the left post It looked like a good tackle to Los Angeles coaeh Bob Sibbald and Salt Lake counterpart Laurie Calloway But no matter Pena got tagged for the foul (and was ejected in the ensuing rhubarb) g glory giving Sanderson his first try at The shot sailed 10 feet over the crossbar "When the keeper Mike Littman moved left it threw off my concentration" said Sanderson "It hap- pens to the best but that's no excuse "I sat on the bench and thought about it at the end of regulation But there was no use crying about it We still had a job to do You have to keep your head up" Sanderson's positive thinking soon paid off With the Heat shorthanded the rest of the way be- cause of Pena's ejection the Sting went to the net quick- ly and hard in the first overtime In the 96th minute the ball popped out of a scrum in front of Littman Sanderson was there and this time he made good Salt Lake hung on for the remainder of the first 10- ininute OT and on through the second to notch the victory Los Angeles fell to 3 with the loss and suffered its first setback on the road this season Considering that the Heat are one of the most talented teams in the WSL — certainly a notch above Arizona — Calloway was plenty happy to get the win The Sting coach also liked the fact that his team had to sweat a bit for the win The late call on Pena was little bit too much of a gift for his liking "I'm glad we got it the way we did" he said "I would have been a little bit embarrassed to win it on a penalty

"The horse that beat us ran a hell of a race" Unbridled had lost weight over the grueling Triple Crown campaign and clearly had nothing left after running the first mile in the Belmont "I tried to keep weight on him but you just don't know how they'll keep up" he admitted "He's a tired horse very tired I don't know if it was the Triple Crown rigors It didn't catch up with Easy Goer and Sunday
