Westminster took control early in the first quarter, leaping to a 9-0 lead over the callow Aggie team. started. Last year Arnold was sent off against Montana State and Utah but it appears Marine Corps boot camp has taught the explosive goal-scorer some restraint. Arnold was credited with an assist in the game. "Outrun, on all sides of the ball, especially on the defensive end," was how Polytyka summed up the lackluster showing by the Aggies. Colorado 17, USU 3 Facing a heavyweight contender for the national championship in Colorado, USU fought gamely against the superior team in a steady rain. Midfielder Brian Miller, who scored on the Buffaloes twice, said he was "happy" because the team "had a positive attitude. We had a pretty poor effort yesterday. We got beat pretty bad but we held it together as a team and played as a team for the whole game," he said. Polytyka echoed Miller in summing up the one-sided beating of USU: "The team played better even though we were missing five guys. Better play out of the goalie, better play out of the D, all around better play against an even better team," he said. Polytyka said the score was about what he had expected "given the number of legs they had to our number of legs. They had 30 subs and we have five. All these guys played hard." Colorado was coming off a close loss to BYU in Provo the night before, which was televised on KBYU. Polytyka, who has coached USU in losses to both schools, said, "They're a top-five team in the nation just like BYU. We play the hardest teams in the nation and its hard for us to get those wins." Mercifully, there was less of the self-defeating "poor me" nonsense this time on USU's sideline. "Morale is better even though we are still getting beat," Polytyka. "We were in the game until the end of the first quarter." The coach predicted a win next Saturday on the HPER field at 1 p.m. "We're playing Wyoming next week," Polytyka said. "That's a game we can win. They're in a lower division than us. We should win. Coming from playing the top five in the nation to a team like Wyoming we should get a win."

Neither teams scored in the second inning, but Nevada was able to bring two home in the third. USU fought hard in the fourth inning and they challenged Nevada for the first time. Fife's single to third base was followed by a double hit by Stroman, sending Fife home. Evans stepped up and hit a single to right field. After Stroman's advance to third, Evans stole second. She then stole third and Stroman ran home, putting another score on the board for the Aggies. The inning ended with an impressive two-score homerun by senior catcher Jami Uragami, her first here at USU "I was excited," Uragami said. "It was my first home run here." Uragami seemed to have set the pace for the Aggies, giving them motivation to keep going. "I think [the homerun] sparked a little fire but I *679 East 600 North think we were already pretty much pissed." The Aggies kept the fire lit and dominated the fifth inning. With a homerun by Fife, who brought herself and Schaible home, the team was on their way to victory. "We had no other choice than to stay positive because it's all up hill for us," Fife said. Nevada had a few hits the rest of the game, but could not pull off anymore runs. [e-mail] .
