Utah State head coach Heather Cairns said it appeared that to score, the Ags would have to go low, but the players didn't always keep the ball near the ground on their shots. "I'm not sure how many times we went low," Cairns said. "A lot of our scoring opportunities went high, so that's a breakdown on our part." After the half, the Ags kept the ball on the attack for the first five minutes. Sierra Smith served a nice ball, which Dana Peart headed in to put the Aggies just one back of the Rebels at the 50th minute. "I knew I could do it, so I decided today was a good day to start getting those in," Smith said of her crosses that helped the Aggies get 18 shots off to the Rebels' 11. The Aggies will play their next two games in Montana at the Montana Nike Cup. They will face off against Air Force on Friday and Montana on Sunday. The tough games for the Aggies are over since three of the last four matches have been against NCAA tournament-caliber teams. Four of the Aggies' next eight games will be played against Big Sky teams. -krn@cc.usu.edu (For Directions) USU Community Credit Union Phone: 753.4080 www.usuccu.org Campus Branch: 695 East 1000 North Downtown: 198 North Main Smithfield: 890 South Main www.StopLoganWalmart.com • Do you feel Wal-Mart will negatively impact our small community? • Do you feel that one Wal-Mart in the valley is enough? • Do you disagree with Wal-Mart's business and buying practices? • Do you believe that Wal-Mart is hurting America? • Are you hoping for more variety in Logan stores (such as Target, Costco, Sears, etc.)?
