Show THE DAILY UTAH CHRONICLE Monday, December 4, 2006 8 VOLLEYBALL FALLS IN NCAA ROUND TWO continued from Page 7 14 digs. Spartan outsidehitters had their way with the stalwart Utah defense for the majority of the night, with three of them netting more than 18 kills, but Emillie Toone and the rest of the Utes found a way to stop the three down the stretch and the U snagged the victory. "I felt like games one and two were all about who made the least amount of unforced errors," U head coach Beth Launiere said. "Game three we got shaky, but we came back in games four and five and really believed in ourselves and pulled out the win." Michigan State outsidehitter Katie Johnson kept the U defense on its heels throughout the match in picking up 21 kills, but couldn't knock it down when it counted. "When you're up 2-1 and still not playing to your potential, it's easy to think that you have it wrapped up," Johnson said. "But Utah took back the momentum late in game three and we never really recovered from that." Despite the seasonending loss to the Bruins, Launiere said she is proud of the way her team played this season and is excited about returning her entire team next season. "We didn't come in here and lay down for them," Launiere said. "We came in here and battled, and I'm proud of them for that. We don't have any seniors in this group so we're excited about that and look forward to matches like (UCLA) in the future." Emillie Toone goes for a kill during the 1 c.brunner@ Utes first-round NCAA Tournament chronicle.utah.edu win over Michigan State on Friday. WOMEN'S HOOPS BLOWS OUT LONG BEACH STATE continued from Page 7 freshman Halie Sawyer continued to pleasantly surprise, contributing six points and six rebounds off the bench. Tonight the Utes will face USC, which has a record of 3-3. The Trojans are coming off a 76-57 victory over Colorado, in which senior "ta- guard Shay Murphy dropped 33 points on the Buffaloes. Three other USC players scored in double figures for the well-rounded Trojans. Tip-off is at 7 p.m. at the Huntsman Center. n.dicou@ chronicte.utah.edu WALTER SETS RECORDS FOR SWIM TEAM continued from Page 7 tional record during a preliminary round of the 100 freestyle round with a time of 50.40. Although the time did not beat any school record, it was a personal best .for Walter and the time vaulted her into the 100 freestyle championship round, which Walter went on to win as well. Walter's record-breaking swims were just some of the many highlights for the women's portion of the swim team in Ohio as senior Alison Mclnturff and sophomore Shannon McQueen also broke school records in Ohio. Mclnturff qualified for the NCAA championships with a time of 1:48.26 in the 200 freestyle, which also broke the school record she set in 2005. McQueen also swam an NCAA qualifying time in the 100 backstroke and replaced the school record she set as a freshman with a new time of 56.09. Walter added to her successful meet by qualifying for the NCAA champion- did have strong showings in many events. Though none of the men broke any school records in swimming, Andrew Jones set a Utah record in diving with a final score of 269.40 in the platform event. Sophomore Marco Ferraro continued to emerge as one of the top male swimmers for the Utes with a seventh-place finish in the 500 free and a ioth-place finish in the grueling 1650 free event. Andrew Cole also continued to swim strong as he placed seventh in the 200 back with a time of 1:50:41. This went on to help the Ute men finish in the middle of the pack with a fifth-place finish out of the 12-team group. "The guys were very solid (that) day," Litzinger said. "We are ready to get to work on improving some things, but overall I'm very proud of this group." The swimming and diving team will now take a break from competition for the remainder of the 2006 calendar year. The next chance for the Swimmin' Utes to hit the pool competitively will be for the UCSD Invitational on Jan. 5. The five people representing the diving team will have the opportunity to head down to Athens, Ga. to participate in the prestigious Georgia Diving Invite on the same day the swimmers head to San Diego. t.pizza@ chronicle.utah.edu ->v''-,•-•*.

Walter and Mclnturff formed the nucleus of a number of U relay teams that finished in one of the top two spots over the weekend. On Friday, Jennifer Fredsail and Anne VanLeeuwen joined Walter and Mclnturff to finish first in the 200 free relay. McQueen replaced VanLeeuwen in the 400 medley relay and the Utes placed second overall with a time of 3:46.38, which was just one second slower than the time posted by the Gamecock quartet from South Carolina, On Saturday Mclnturff, McQueen and VanLeeuwen combined with Rachel Curci to finish first in the 800 free relay. On the final day of competition, Walter, Mclnturff, VanLeeuwen and McQueen teamed up again and set an Ohio State Invitational record with a time of 3:23.81 in the 400 freestyle relay. The combined efforts of the U women were good enough for a third-place finish as the Utes, South Carolina and Ohio State were clearly the cream of the 12team crop on the women's side of the pool. "The women are swimming very fast right now, and that sets up for a great second semester for us," Litzinger said. The men did not have quite the immediate impact that the women had on the rest of the teams swimming at the meet, but the men -•vr:r--•>.;?>?•. www.dailx/uta hcdronicCe.com ?u c :»yv i i vi rsj f .CONFERENCE DANCEXXVS KHI SLPf 20 •ft** ! • • MhW ***** Earn up to $12.50 an hour doing Dell tech support!
