And he lets us take the kick and the ball goes in the back of the net. Sometime in that time, the buzzer went off. He signaled the goal and then he takes the goal away. That's what I saw. I've never seen a referee take a goal away. I don't know. And that's where usually where a referee will take control of a game, in a situation like that. "I think that's why there was so much confusion because nobody was sure what he was thinking. Regardless, the score stands and we shouldn't have let it get to that point. That's what I'm most upset about. We had the one-goal lead, and we let it slip away. We really weren't mentally strong enough to want to finish off that game." The first half of the match was dominated by the Aggies, as they owned an 8-3 shot advantage and spent the majority of the time on the Boise State side, threatening to score. The sure hands of Bronco goalkeeper Jennifer Burns kept BSU alive in the first half. Had USU scored a goal in the first half, as they were threatening to, Cairns said the game would have been "completely different because they were on their heels." "What I did tell the team is, 'Have faith, have faith that it's going to come.' And I think for the most part we did and it came," she said. "But then we weren't mentally prepared to finish it off. So, certainly an early goal would have changed the game and made our lives easier." The second half was a different ball game for the Aggies. Coming out with as much fire as was lacking in the first half, the Broncos kept the ball busy transversing the length of the field as both teams took turns at offensive attacks. Boise State seemed poised to score with two dangerous shots, but both missed the mark. In the 72nd minute, the Aggies got the first points on the board off a free kick. Sophomore defender Sydne Porter, who has a leg that can send the ball easily half the length of the field, lined up for the shot with fellow defender Smart. Porter pounded the ball, sending it sailing over the heads of all defenders and the goaltender to land solidly in the back of the net. The shot was taken from more than 30 yards out and was spot on, giving the Aggies a 1-0 advantage. "I've definitely taken a lot of those kicks this year, and it's great to finally reward my team for getting the fouls and get a good shot in," Porter said. "My free kicks were pretty shaky today, but (Smart) came up to me and restored my confidence in myself to take it. She believed in me before I believed in myself, I SOPHOMORE FORWARD ERIN SALMON dribguess. At least someone believed bles by a Boise State defender on Saturday at Gloria Bell in me." Field.

Chili, Chips & Cinnamon Rolls for only $ l.oo! fast, violent game came later on in the third period, when USU's Heath Grover went low on a Long Beach skater in the defensive zone and left him lying on the ice. Grover was disqualified for the hit, and the Long Beach player appeared to be alright after he was helped off. The Grover penalty put USU in a sticky situation, playing one man down for five minutes in the third period of a tie game against a formidable opponent. But the penalty kill unit was up to the task. The sluggish defense from the first period was a thing of the past, as penalty killers like Walter Voisard and Winsa sold out to block shots and keep the puck on the perimeter of USU's zone. It helped that USU's best penalty killer was between the pipes, denying several great Long Beach scoring opportunities, including a wide-open wraparound attempt that, by all rights, should have gone in. McFadden came to the rescue late in the penalty, making himself a pest on the forecheck and drawing an interference call which made the sides even. Both teams were clearly exhausted by the time overtime arrived. Neither goalie was seriously threatened in the overtime period. While USU was still clearly not firing on all cylinders, this game represented a clear upgrade in effort over last weekend's 4-3 stinker of a loss to Utah Valley State College. The Aggies were more physical and took fewer penalties, which Cornelius attributed to some good coaching. Register @ wise.Idsces.org "(Coach) Jerry (Crossley) really got strict with us about taking stupid penalties." Cornelius said, "and it paid oil. Last game we were in the box the whole game and we lost. This game we tied, but it's still better than a loss." New players like Tikka and Madigan also stepped up against Long Beach, providing much-needed aid to the scoring lines. Madigan created a couple of nice breakaways in the first period, which helped wake up his team even though his shots were stopped. "I'm playing with Swede and Osty now. I love playing with those guys, they really push me to my best," Madigan, an 18-year-old freshman from Ogden, said. The addition of Tikka, a willing hitter and softhanded puck-handler, to Arsenault and McFadden's line, helped spark the two-goal second period and had USU fans abuzz. "I'm more of an offensive defenseman, and they need help up top so I came and played forward," said Tikka, a freshman who played junior hockey in Fairbanks. Alaska. "Our line is doing pretty well so far. Hopefully Kent's alright and we can get back together. I haven't played hockey competitively since February last year when I aged out of juniors, so I'm hoping to get in better shape." Next up for the Ags is a three-game road trip to Colorado. -graham Aerry(a)aggiemailttsu.edit Combined Institute Choir Fireside "A Burning Within" Sunday Oct. 21 6:00 pm Logan Tabernacle Ellen Eccles Theatre ""S Logan, Utah "•* October 18th, 7:30pm October 19th, 7:30pm October 20th, 1:30pm & 7:30pm Tickets: 435-752-0026 ex. 14 or buy online at www.cgmterforthearts.us >ee the Events > Community Events link) ODYSSEY DANCE THEATRE Dan,I Xcotjci founder an Student Discounts available!
