Show tatesman Sport RUN From page 9 "They just outplayed us badly the last 10 minutes of the game, that's how they won the game," Morrill said. The first half was dominated by defense, turnovers, and relatively sloppy play. Both teams enjoyed five point leads in the first half before going into the break knotted up at 25 apiece. The first eight minutes of the second half were much the same way, a defensive battle with both teams going back and forth. Credit goes to Hawaii's defense for slowing down Aggie guard Jaycee Carroll. He had a hand in his face all night and was never able to get any easy shots. He finished the game with 13 points on 5-of-13 shooting. "There long and they had been working three days on helping when he had the ball and being aware when he had the ball," Morrill said. One player who was able to benefit from this and help keep the Aggies in the game was Senior forward Chaz Spicer, who scored a team-high 18 points and pulled down nine rebounds. "I am just going out and playing, everyone is playing on Jaycee and there leaving me open a bit," Spicer said. With 12 minutes left in the game the Aggies went on a 6-0 run and had a seven-point lead and looked to be in control of the game. That is when Hawaii guard Matt Gibson had seen enough and decided to take over the game on both ends of the court. In a decisive 16-5 run for Hawaii, Gibson scored 11 points and forced a couple of turnovers. "He came out a played a pretty good game but it came down to us making silly mistakes," Spicer said. "He is a very good player and he had a great game," Morrill said. "We do a pretty good job on some other guys and he breaks the game open for them." Over a period of five minutes when Hawaii regained the lead and control of the game, several factors happened that lead to the Aggies' demise. samabry@cc.usu.edu fly style for USU. Finatti said this is a more acrobatic style of goaltending which is more exciting for the fans to watch. Butterfly style has largely replaced standup. A good example of a standup goalie would be the character Denis who plays goalie for the fictional Charlestown Chiefs in the classic Paul Newman film "Slap Shot." Icing — Icing occurs when the two teams are at even strength and the offensive team sends the puck into the zone from behind the red line. The offensive team must move the puck past the red line to get it in behind the goal line. After icing the puck, play is halted and a face-off is conducted in the offending team's zone. When the puck is dumped in from behind the red line, the linesman will raise his hand to indicate that icing has occured, but in the NHL, the icing can be cancelled if the puck touches the goalkeeper or a player from the team that iced it. Breakaway — This is when a lane opens up allowing an offensive player to skate at the goalie with the puck without any defenders in the way. If a defender lacking the speed to catch up interferes with the breakaway, the offensive player may be awarded a penalty shot on the goal. USU's Roberto Leo was awarded a penalty shot in the first game against BYU this season and scored a goal. Bodycheck- There is much confusion as to what constitutes a legal body check. John explains how to properly execute a legal check: "Basically, as long as you can see a player's numbers you don't want to hit them. USA Hockey always stresses that because people have become paralyzed or died from that. You don't ever want to have your stick in your hands up high. Just drop a shoulder and put it into a guy. Not every time is the right time to put a body check. If you miss him, you're putting yourself out of position." -graham@cc.usu.edu HOCKEY NEW! mmmm, mu S.5Q Wi EACH AMMONAL TOPPING From page 9 Kent Arsenault and Jordan Francom are two of the best Aggies at scoring from above the circles. Offsides — Offensive players are not allowed to enter the offensive zone before the puck is either carried or passed in. A linesman will whistle the puck dead, and a faceoff will take place in the neutral zone. Butterfly Style - "That's a goalie that goes down more and uses his legs," Finatti said. "There's butterfly and standup. You take up more of the bottom of the net and leave corners open. I was never taught when I was young, and just started playing that way." Playing butterfly style forces the opposing team to attack the top shelf of the goal and puts more pressure on the goalie to make saves with his glove hand because his huge leg pads are walling off the net. Both Finatti and Scottie Beard play the butter- The Blue and the White Do You Have the Experience Employers look for? Start Your Internship Search at...

Who will win the Super Bowl? The Bears will win Super Bowl XLI. Why? They are scarier than the Colts in every way. The mascot: Colts aren't scary; some people probably think the/re cute. But only really stupid people think Bears are cute. Bears are efficient killing machines. Don't cuddle with one. The players: Peyton Manning is more ugly than scary. But Brian Urlacher is absolutely frightening - the mere sight of him causes spontaneous combustion. Peyton Manning and the Colts will finally win a Super Bowl Sunday against the Chicago Bears. I believe that one of the major reasons they will win is because of the play of Rex Grossman. He will come out and choke, and no amount of good Bears defense will help their offense out. TERMINIX Ultimate Protection 2. Are you sad about Barbara's death? Of course I'm sad. I'm sad that 1 had to waste so many anxious, tear-filled nights wondering if Barbaro would pull through, just to have him euthanized. I hurt. I cried. I prayed. I set up a candlelight vigil in my bathroom, but it all went For naught. At least I know he's in horsey heaven now. Absolutely not, in fact one part of me is almost happy that the horse is dead. He won one event in the triple crown and that was it. I could see making a big deal if he won the triple crown, but he didn't. In fact a lot of positive will come from this. For one, the horse is now pain-free and two, Sportscenter can get back to its regularly scheduled news: T.O. and steroids in baseball.

Fans don't need to vote for the all-star games. The general public is too busy voting on "American Idol" to take any real stock in who is deserving of playing in an all-star game. Just look at America's voting record lately: America picked a 30-year-old, gray-haired dude as its idol and, well ... we won't get into politics. •/; \";--:v .'• •;':'::, All-star weekend is designed for the fans. It is meant strictly for entertainment, so I think the fans should have a say in who plays. I would much rather see flashy dunks and showboating during the all-star game. The players that really are the best at basketball can represent us in the Olympics. 4. Which is your favorite Super Bowl commercial of all time? I don't know if I can pick a favorite. There have been so many great Bud Light ads. There was Terry Tate Office Linebacker. Ifs hard to choose between office workers getting form tackled into a copy machine and anything beer-related. There is one thing that is clear - violence and drunkenness are in. • * This is hard, but I love the one where it talks about the running of the cats. Anyone can run away from a bunch of sissy bulls. But a real man out runs a ravenous herd of stray cats and has scratches to prove it. 25 offices across the U.S. for the summer of 2007. Call today: 801.361.2625 or 480734.6507 5. Which is the ultimate Super Bowl party food? Ifs beer - cold, frosty beer. If you drink enough beer you won't need to eat anything else, because beer is calorie-rich. Drinking enough beer makes even the worst game so much more entertaining, because after a certain number of beers, you lose track of who you were rooting for and where you've left your pants. But most of all, beer is good, and good for you. So give into the awesome advertising and have a cold one. The one thing that is an absolute must for a Super Bowl party is meat. It can come in any shape or form. 1 prefer a big juicy steak cooked medium-well after being marinated for at least 24 hours. The joy that comes into my life as 1 bite into a perfectly cooked tender steak during a football game quite possibly could be trie greatest feeling ever. silvercreek MARKETING |
