Show StatesmanSports Page 12 Monday, Nov. 16, 2009 Aggies hold off pesky Weber State with 13 points on 5-of-6 shooting but got into foul trouble as well — fouling out with 5:12 remaining. Aided by USU's traveling student body, nicknamed the Spectrum on Wheels, the Aggies used a 12-4 run to open the second half and build a 15-point lead. USU would maintain a double-digit lead until there was just more than three minutes remaining. "The Spectrum on Wheels or whatever they like to call it is amazing," Newbold said. "Sometimes in the game it's like are we at home. It's really great to have that much support and we really appreciate it. It's amazing." Wesley fouled out with 1:10 left in the game, and the Wildcats were able to close the margin to as little as four. "We were fortunate to come in here and finish it and get a win. It's always good to get a win on the road," senior Jared Quayle said. "We need to obviously be stronger down at the end of the game. We almost let them back in for the win." Green knocked down four consecutive free throws and sophomore Brady Jardine broke open for a layup to put the Aggies up six for the final margin. Though the win was a bit on the ugly side, the fact the Aggies were able to come out on top was a positive sign to Newbold. "I think the encouraging thing is we got the win, but we can still get a lot better in a lot of areas," he said. "That's a really good thing and we're excited going forward." The Aggies will have no rest as they stay on the road and in the state as they take on rival Utah. The Utes lost their season opener to WAC foe Idaho, 94-87. By TIM OLSEN sports editor Utah State jumped out to a 15-point lead in the second half then held off a furious Weber State comeback as the Aggies beat the Wildcats 66-60 to win both teams' season opener. Tyler Newbold connected on 4-of-5 shots, including 3-of-4 from beyond the arc, to lead USU. Newbold's good play was key as forward Tai Wesley got in foul trouble early and struggled to get into the flow of the game. "I got a few good looks right at the beginning and my shooting stroke felt great tonight," Newbold said. "Whenever I was open I just let it fly, and I need to do that. I know I'm a good shooter and so when I'm open I need to help the team out that way." Weber State opened the game with a layup by Damian Lillard, but that 2-0 lead was the only one the Wildcats would have. Newbold scored five-straight points as the Aggies pulled ahead of the home team. Lillard led all scorers with 20 points on 47 percent shooting but was only 1-of-5 from 3-point range. The game was a grind-it-out slugfest between the two schools, and that was especially indicative of the first half. The combination of this being the first real game and the two coaches knowledge of each other's system created a low scoring affair. "It was two teams that knew each other pretty well and kind of grind out game," USU head coach Stew Morrill said. "Those kind you feel fortunate to win." Despite the slow first half, the Aggies headed into the locker room with some momentum as they scored the last four points of the period en route to a 28-21 halftime lead. With Wesley in foul trouble, junior Nate Bendall took over in the post with an array of jump hooks and spin moves.

PATRICK ODEN photo Cross country sends McKenna to Nats By CHELSEY GENSEL staff writer Utah State's cross country teams concluded their season Saturday, Nov. 14, at the NCAA Regional meet in Albuquerque, N.M. The Aggie men came in seventh place and the women placed 14th. The men's team turned out three top-notch performances in sophomore Brian McKenna, who placed 19th overall, junior Nick Bolinder and sophomore Daniel Howell, who placed 23rd and 27th, respectively. "Our men had high expectations, and when you don't reach them, you're pretty disappointed," said assistant coach Steve Reeder, "but as you start to think about how it really went, there are a lot of real positives from this race." The top two teams from each regional meet automatically go to nationals in Terre Haute, Ind. on Nov. 23. Though USU didn't qualify as a team, McKenna will be competing individually at the national meet. "What makes this a team sport more than anything is that everyone has to be on that day, and it just didn't happen," Reeder said, "but Daniel, Brian and Nick probably had the races of their lives, and you can't discount that." Bolinder, who narrowly missed a place in nationals, was excited about his time at regionals. "It's hard to be happy when the team didn't do as good as we wanted, but for me it went well. I surprised myself big time," he said of his 31:07 time in the 10k race. The women ran a 6k and the top finisher was freshman Alex Litzsinger, with 41st place. "They ran well. What you can't control is how the other teams run," Reeder said. He said the USU women were focused on certain teams to beat, but the positive for the women is that all but one of the team will be back next season. They lose only Erin Stratton to graduation, and Reeder believes the meet was good experience for the rest of the team. Reeder said two members of the men's team will not be returning next year: Steve Strickland and Jason Holt. "We can't replace them. They're good runners, but we've got guys that are ready to step up," he said. The remaining USU men's results were Steve Atkinson in 49th place, Holt in 53rd, Strickland in 61st and Chio Lopez in 83rd. — chelsey.gensel@aggiemail.usu.edu AGGIE DISTANCE RUNNER JUSTINE Baugh, No. 150, thunders down the autumn trail.
