More than 2 1/2 hours into his five-setter Monday, he was still spry enough to serve three straight aces - two at 120-plus mph and a service winner in his final serves against Malisse. Three points from the end of the match, he bounced behind the baseline while Malisse, gasping, could barely muster the energy to push himself up off the net after failing to scoop up a ball. When he unleashed a backhand that the Belgian lunged at and whacked long, Agassi had a 6-3, 6-4, 6-7(5), 4-6,6-2 victory that made him the oldest men's quarterfinalist at the Open since Jimmy Connors made his legendary run to the semifinals as a 39-year-old in 1991. "I was a bit discouraged there in the fourth," Agassi said. "I wasn't happy about being in a fifth set after being up two sets to love, but I did know I was going to make him earn it. He was going to have to play another great set." Another "oldster," 30year-old Mary Pierce, also advanced, knocking off Justine Henin-Hardenne to avenge their meeting in the French Open final. The only other American man left in the tournament, unseeded Robby Ginepri, outlasted No. 13 Richard Gasquet of France 6-3, 3-6, 6-7(8), 6-4, 6-0 to reach the quarters of a Grand Slam event for the first time. Ginepri will play No. 8 Guillermo Coria of Argentina, who outlasted Nicolas Massu of Chile in a five-set match that went 4 hours, 32 minutes. Agassi's matches have gotten progressively harder as the tournament has gone on. ',<* }. - A W -r ^ £»'&$:& ,W( £\* C V,> : !

The first half was slow for both teams with each side trading opportunities to score, but neither putting the ball into the back of the net. Midway through the second half, Utah State goalkeeper Robby Nelson made a series of spectacular saves to keep BYU-Idaho off the scoreboard. The first of which came in the 60th minute when the Dragons sent a 30-yard free kick high into the penalty area. Only two minutes later, BYU-Idaho cracked a volley from 20 yards out that Nelson again stopped with a diving save to his right. "Robby really kept us out of hot water with some great stops," Lamara said of his keeper. Utah State had a clear scoring chance in the 72nd minute. Carlson beat his man and led a breakaway down the center of the field. Approaching the top of the box, Carlson laid the ball off to teammate Joshua Mills for a shot that was stopped by the BYU-Idaho goalkeeper. In the final minute of play, Potter hit a low drive from 30 yards that deflected off a Dragon defender and into the net for the lone goal of the game. "[It] kind of sucks to win like that" Potter said of scoring off a deflection, but we'll take it."
