We were reacting to what they were doing." TCU employed a forward attack, Cairns said, which penetrated the Aggie defense and allowed 11 shots in the first haif alone. In the 34th minute of play, the Horned Frogs scored again, taking the lead. "It always felt like TCU was the aggressor and felt like we were playing not to lose," Cairns said. "We could not get it going. It was a tough weekend. We have to be better with dealing with that adversity because it will happen during our conference season." At the half, Cairns said she made a change in the style of play, going to a 4-4-2 formation to prevent the TCU penetration.

"We have to learn what our strengths as a team are and play to those strengths," Cairns said. "We've got to take away a mentality that we are going to attack our opponent. It's not good enough to out-possess them. "Right now we're pretty good at beating ourselves up. After today's game quite frankly we deserved to. That's OK. What we have to make sure of now is that we build ourselves back up and really go into this next weekend confident and more sure of ourselves." USU vs. TSU Friday marked the first meeting between the Aggies and Bobcats, and USU proved its dominance with a 1-0 victory, giving the Aggies their first-ever win against a team from Texas. The first half of the game belonged to the Aggies as USU took seven shots on goal and prevented the Bobcats from taking a single shot on junior goaltender Ali Griffin. The winning goal came from Peart in the 28th minute of play after she took control of a bounced ball in the box and took a clear shot at the net, pounding the ball to the back.

"It took great composure by Dana to finish it off. Dana had a spectacular weekend. She showed her leadership and character. She wants to lead this team to the NCAA tournament." Cairns said her team played well despite the "very rambunctious crowd" and kept their cool, maintaining control of the ball for three-quarters of the game. But the second half proved more challenging for the Aggies. "In the last 15-20 minutes they started taking it to us," Cairns said. "We started making poor decisions. We started to lose the flow of the game a little bit at the end of Texas State." While the Bobcats couldn't take a single shot the first half, they more than made up for it in the second half with four shots, all of which were on goal Griffin saved all four shots, securing the Aggie win.

(AP) —As soon as Phil Mickelson shrugged off Tiger Woods and the rest of the field at the Deutsche Bank Championship, he decided to take on golfs powers-that-be. Complaining that the PGA . Tour Playoffs are too much of a commitment for players already tired from a long season, Mickelson decided to skip the BMW Championship this week outside Chicago. He was playing a corporate outing — in Chicago, no less — and was not available for comment. But he offered minuscule insight Monday evening after dispatching of the world's No. 1 player at the TPC Boston, when he said he was "conflicted" and "torn" about whether to play. "My frustration from this past year came from asking for a couple of things in the FecTEx Cup that weren't done, and not feeling all that bad now if I happen to miss," he said Monday. |
