THE CONTRIBUTION OF FOLKLORE TO MORMON STUDIES In his typical understated fashion, DuBose remarked, "Nielson played really well. She and Danielle Taylor did a really nice job blocking." DuBose did not sound afraid to play the other Aggies again, saying, "I'm looking forward to playing them at our place. I think it will be an entertaining match." Four of New Mexico State's players achieved double-digit kill totals, led by Kim Oguh's 16. After hitting just .022 in the first game, USU hit .152 in the second game, which they won. NMSU then came back with a strong performance in the decisive game three, hitting .405. DuBose heaped credit on his assistant coaches, Shawn Olmstead and Taubi Neves, for formulating offensive and defensive game plans. "Against New Mexico State, here's a ranked team and we were able to stay in the match because the girls stayed in the game plan really well," DuBose said. Two nights later, USU took the court against a Louisiana Tech Bulldog team that Thursday, September 27 7 p.m. Logon LD5 Tabernacle priori J.

Luckily for the team in Aggie Blue and Fighting White, the Lady Techsters also won the hitting errors contest, 8-5, in that game. After sliding by in game one, USU took over in game two with a .414 hitting percentage and rode to an easy match win in game three, hitting .423. "Our team is getting better at making adjustments within the match," DuBose said. "Louisiana Tech did most of the things we thought they would, but they also did some things they hadn't shown on video, and we were able to make adjustments within the game. In the third game, we were able to make some big adjustments and take care of it." The next challenge for DuBose's team is another road trip, this time to San Jose State, where the team look to exact some revenge on the Spartans for the loss the football team suffered on Homecoming. DuBose's second straight road trip kicks off Thursday night in San Jose. •grah a mjerry@aggiemail. usu. edu Hockey wins close one against Weber Geer's goal in the final minute ices Wildcats in a 3-2 Utah State win Entering the third period, Reinhardt said the team was hyped up for about the first two minstaff writer utes in the locker room and decided it was best to change up the pace and strategy from what they The Aggie hockey team won its second played for the first two periods. straight game Friday at the Eccles Ice Arena, William Winsa dominated most of the breakdowning the Weber State Wildcats' D-I squad, 3aways in the third, and Justin Lupton was ready 2. to slap in the rebound.

DuBose's team took its frustrations from the NMSU game out on another WAC foe, improving the conference record to 3-1 while dropping La Tech to a 0-4 record in WAC play. "It is hard to be on the road in the WAC," DuBose said. "We had to take two flights to get there and then drive a little more. We felt fortunate to come out and play well on a long road trip." Nielson led USU again with a match-high 16 kills. "Amanda once again had a real nice match," DuBose said. "Melissa Osterloh had a nice match as well, as did Monarissa Ale." Nielson hit a smoking .464 percentage in the match with just three hitting errors. She also had five digs, four blocks and a service ace, showing a well-rounded game to go with her lethal killing ability. USU used Nielson's typically outstanding performance to reach a season-high team percentage, .360.
