Show Soccer club team falls to BYU BY SCOTT MCALLISTER Staff Writer The Utah State men's soccer team met its toughest opponent all season in Brigham Young University on Thursday in Provo, and left with a 4-0 loss. Utah State came out with a defensive formation, putting two players at stopper for the first 15 minutes. The tactic worked for a while but the defense was shelled by 30 shots, compared to Utah State's three, throughout the duration of the evening allowing four of them into the goal. Even though the statistics were lopsided. Lamara said he felt that his team performed well. "It wasn't bad," Lamara said. "We actually played really well. We didn't panic." Lamara said that out of the four goals BYU scored, two of them were "honest goals." BYU's first goal came in the 14th minute when a well struck shot rebounded out of USU goalkeeper Robby Nelson's hands and was tapped in by BYU freshman Brady Marshall. Marshall would strike again in the 20th minute with a rip from outside the penalty area, described by Lamara as a legitimate goal. Two more second half goals from the Cougars finished off the Aggies against a BYU club team that isn't like any other in the country. Last year BYU joined USL Premier Development League where they play against the top college talent in the country and even some semi-professional teams. The easiest thing to compare their league to would be Single-A minor league baseball, expect the BYU soccer players don't get paid.

North Logan North of Eccles Ice Arena 75&«837 Win comes after a humiliating loss to Weber D-I BY BRYAN HINTON Assistant Sports Editor Goalie Adam Lain posted his first shutout of the season in the Utah State hockey club's 3-0 win over BYU Saturday in Provo, one night after losing to the Weber State Division-I squad 10-2. Head coach Jerry Crossley said Saturday's win was huge when considering how bad the team lost the night before. "I think that says a lot about our character," he said. William Winsa scored a goal and assisted another as the Aggie offense struggled to find a rhythm during the game. "We don't really have any breakout players," Crossley said. "I'm trying to convince the guys to play inside the lacking, Lain picked up the offense. They keep trying to slack, saving all of the nearly do individual things."

Aggies had a better attitude But where the offense was against BYU than against WSU. "We came into that Weber game a little scared," he said. "But we came into this game with a chip on our shoulder." Defenseman Maciej Michalik did not play much after the first period, which, Fryslie said was mostly due to an injured knee. Weber State Division-I 10, Utah State 2 i. Michael Shorp/mlchaekhorp&ctusu.edu UTAHSTATE'S WILLIAM WlNSA hits a BYU player while trying to reach the puck during a game Sept. 17. The Aggies shut the Icecats out 3-0 Saturday. The Wildcats scored the first four goals of the game and then scored six times in the final period to hand the Aggies their first loss of the season. "I'm so mad," Winsa said. "We can't play three periods. We played two good ones, then we lost our focus and lost the game." WSU scored five of its goals on power plays. "We keep handcuffing ourselves with penalties," Crossley said. "We cannot win games like that. We need to be more mentally tough." Aggie Roberto Leo said stupid penalties are no excuse to give up on a game. "Emotions are high and sometimes you do dumb stuff," he said. "But you still have to rally up around your players." Down 4-0 in the second period, Fryslie dumped the puck into the WSU zone, which deflected off the goalie's stick and into the net, giving USU its first goal. Then with less than a minute to play in the same period, Leo stole a pass at the Wildcat blue line a threw a backhanded shot into the back of the net, making the score 4-2 just before the second intermission. "We'll take that stuff when it happens," Crossley said. "I hoped it would carry over to the third period." Leo said USU felt like it was in control going into the third period. "What we wanted to do was come out and score that first goal [of the final period]," he said. "In that third period, we just fell apart." Winsa said if USU had scored first in the last period, the Aggies would have won. "I think we would have had them," he said. "But we let them score and just didn't care after that." Winsa said there is nothing talent-wise the Aggies need to improve on in order to beat the upper-division Wildcats. "We're not missing anything," he said. "We're so good. We just lost it. We can beat them. We proved that we're better for two periods." -bhhintoti@cc.usu.edu WHEN THE GIRL OF YOUR DREAMS MES THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE ^Diamond §aCCery Tine JeweCry 753- 4S70 • 45 Qfortfi Main Your Engagement Ring Specialists 30% OFF FOR USU STUDENTS Gamez finally wins PGA event Victory ends 151/2 year drought SAN ANTONIO (AP) Robert Gamez ended a professional Golf Association Tour-record 15 1/2-year stretch between wins Sunday, closing with a 6-under 64 for a threestroke victory at the Texas Open. The 37-year-old Gamez had gone 394 events without winning, dating to the 1990 Bay Hill Invitational, a stretch of 15 years, 6 months. '• He recently surpassed Butch Bairds record of 15 years, 5 months and 10 days between wins. Ed Fiori went 409 events \yithout winning. ; Gamez opened with three straight birdies and added three more on the back nine to reach 18-under 262 at LaCantera Golf Club's Resort Course. Olin Browne, a winner two weeks ago at the Deutsche Bank Championship, also shot a 64 and finished at 15 under. Mark Wilson (68) and thirdround leader Woody Austin (69) tied for third at 14 under. J.J. Henry (68) and Bob Heintz (68) shared fifth at 13 under. Tied with Gamez for the lead, Browne moved ahead on the 518-yar, par-5 14th when he rolled in a 6-foot putt for birdie. Gamez, playing four holes behind Browne, regained the lead with an 11-foot birdie on the downwind, 427-yard 11th hole and added birdies at Nos. 13 and 14. The victory was worth $630,000 for Gamez, who won the Tucson Open and Nestle Invitational in 1990 and has eight second-place finishes since. He was injured in a car accident in 1998 and missed a month of action. In 1994, he won the Casio World Open in Japan, not an official PGA Tour event. Gamez started the round in a three-way tie for second, a stroke behind Austin. But after a run of three birdies, opened a three-stroke lead over John Senden, Henry and Wilson and was five ahead of Browne. David Duval, the former top-ranked player who made his first cut this year, had a closing 4-over 74 and tied for 60th, 19 shots out of the lead. He had missed 18 straight cuts.
