Double-overtime loss ends men’s soccer season Huskies defeat Lobos 2-1 in Sunday’s match

end the season, but we lost to a good team.” UNM senior forward Devon Sandoval scored the first goal of the game after UConn

sophomore goalie Andre Blake saved a shot by junior midfielder Michael Calderon. The ball then bounced to Sandoval, and he put it into the back of the net for his

15th goal of the season. UConn junior forward Mamadou Doudou Diouf tied the game at 1-1 in the 76th minute when he received a deep

cross from senior defender Max Wasserman. Wasserman headed the ball to Diouf, who headed it past Lobo senior goalie Victor Rodriguez. UNM freshman midfielder Ben McKendry almost hit a lastminute goal when he missed a cross pass in front of the goal in the 88th minute. At the end of regulation, UNM had a 13-12 shot lead, and both teams had attempted three corner kicks. Sophomore forward James Rogers took UNM’s only shot in overtime, taking a chance at the top of the box that sailed right above the crossbar. And then just five minutes into double overtime, Zuniga hit the gamewinning goal. The Lobos finish with a 17-4-1 record and tie a program record for 35 wins in a two-season span. Fishbein said that after Sunday’s game, the Huskies deserve to be recognized as one of the top programs in the country. “It’s always difficult to end your season and to do so in that fashion. I am really appreciative of our team and our seniors … It was a tough way to lose, but there’s the utmost respect for this program,” he said, referring to UConn. “The UConn players were class act and so was the coaching staff, and that’s all you can really ask for.”

a portion of the amendment that deals with government hiring. The decision is limited to states in the 6th Circuit, which includes Kentucky, Ohio and Tennessee. But it also raises the odds that the U.S. Supreme Court may get involved. A very similar law in California was upheld by a San Francisco-based appeals court, and the Supreme Court could choose to resolve the conflicting decisions of the 9th Circuit and the 6th Circuit on voter-approved bans. Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette, a supporter of the ban, said he will ask the nation’s highest court to take the case. “Entrance to our great universities must be based upon merit,” he said. George Washington, a Detroit attorney for the Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action, said the ruling is a “tremendous victory.” He predicted the case will move to the Supreme Court. “What this really means is thousands of blacks and Latinos who would not have had a chance to go to our most selective universities will have the chance to become lawyers, doctors and leaders of all fields,” Washington said. As the college admissions process for 2013 heats up, it

wasn’t immediately clear what campuses would do in light of the ruling. Officials at the University of Michigan and Michigan State University said they were reading the decision.

decided to take a fresh look at the matter, with new filings and arguments leading to the new ruling Thursday. In a 32-page opinion, the court’s majority explained the difficulties that it sees for students under the constitutional amendment. For example, there’s nothing barring someone from citing family alumni connections when applying to a college. But the court said a student seeking to use race to influence the admissions process now is shut out unless the constitution is changed again. “Michigan cannot force those advocating for consideration of racial factors to traverse a more arduous road without violating the Fourteenth Amendment,” the court said. “We thus conclude that Proposal 2 reorders the political process in Michigan to place special burdens on minority interests.” In dissent, Judge Danny Boggs said the majority relied on an “extreme extension” of two Supreme Court cases to justify its decision, one in 1969 involving the repeal of a fair housing law in Akron, Ohio, and the other in 1982 involving an effort to stop racial integration in Seattle schools. “We have the citizens of

the entire state establishing a principle that would in general have seemed laudable,” Boggs said of Michigan. Another dissenter, Judge Julia Smith Gibbons, said the will of 58 percent of voters in 2006 has been shredded. “Michigan has chosen to structure its university system such that politics plays no part in university admissions at all levels. … The Michigan voters have therefore not restructured the political process in their state by amending their state constitution; they have merely employed it,” Gibbons said. Besides Michigan, six states have banned racial preferences in admissions: Washington, Nebraska, Arizona, New Hampshire, California and Florida. In Texas and Georgia, leading public universities use a raceneutral system, though the University of Texas has maintained some use of affirmative action. Since a 2003 Supreme Court decision, universities have been allowed to use racial preferences if they choose, though they are not compelled to do so. The court last month heard arguments in a case that could change that precedent. Abigail Fisher, a rejected white applicant, is suing the University of Texas.

Early leads for the UNM men’s soccer team have been the norm; unfortunately, strong finishes haven’t. UConn freshman forward Nicholas Zuniga struck the game-winning goal — the first of his career — after taking a pass on a breakaway and shot the ball into the lower left corner of the net to give the University of Connecticut a 2-1 doubleovertime victory over UNM. “At the moment, what was going through my mind was to just put it in the goal, because I had enough opportunities that game. I’m just glad I got that one,” Zuniga said. “My heart is still pounding right now.” UNM head coach Jeremy Fishbein attributed the Lobos’ loss to their inability to take advantage of opportunities. “We knew it was going to be a game with two good teams that are committed to playing soccer with quality players, special attacking players and good defenses. It was going to be a matter of taking chances and limiting mistakes,” he said. “We had a lot of chances to win the game, so it was a tough way to

Court axes Michigan ban on affirmative action by Ed White

The Associated Press DETROIT — Michigan’s ban on affirmative action in college admissions was declared unconstitutional Nov. 15 by a deeply divided federal appeals court, six years after state voters said race could not be an issue in choosing students. In an 8-7 decision, the court said the 2006 amendment to the Michigan Constitution is illegal because it presents an extraordinary burden to opponents who would have to mount their own long, expensive campaign through the ballot box to protect affirmative action. That burden “undermines the Equal Protection Clause’s guarantee that all citizens ought to have equal access to the tools of political change,” said Judge R. Guy Cole Jr., writing for the majority at the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati. The court said having supporters and opponents debate affirmative action through the governing boards of each public university would be much fairer than cementing a ban in the constitution, which it referred to as home of “the highest level” of public policy. The court did not comment on

Las Cruces ponders giant roadrunner statue LAS CRUCES — City officials in Las Cruces are considering where to relocate the city’s giant statue of a roadrunner. The Las Cruces Sun-News reports that the 20-foot-tall, 40-foot-long statue is currently in the backyard of its creator, artist Olin Calk. The statue was completed in 1993 as part of a recycling education program and was stationed that year at what was then the Las Cruces Foothills Landfill as a way to encourage creative recycling projects. It moved in 2001 to a rest area just west of Las Cruces off I-10 where it became a familiar landmark to thousands of travelers. The city has paid $26,000 to remove and reconstruct the statue. City officials are considering several sites, including the rest stop, to relocate the statute.

Zozobra was held on Friday nights from 1962 until 1997, when a post-event shooting left one dead and prompted the Santa Fe Council to ask that the event be rescheduled. Sandoval said a Thursday-night celebration is more difficult for families with children to attend than was the old Friday-night burning. Zozobra concludes with the burning of a giant marionette as a way to drive away the doom and gloom of the previous year.

Fearing gang violence, school bans visible rosaries ALBUQUERQUE — An Albuquerque high school is requiring students who wear rosaries to conceal them in an effort to curb gang activity. The revised school dress code at Atrisco Heritage Academy high school prompted rumors among students who thought the school was banning rosaries outright. Albuquerque Public Schools spokeswoman Monica Armenta says students wearing visible rosaries are being asked to conceal them under their clothes. She says the policy is intended to limit students from identifying themselves from specific groups. Peter Simonson of the American Civil Liberties Union tells the Albuquerque Journal that if a rosary is being worn for strictly personal or religious reasons, then confiscating it would violate a student’s freedom speech and of religion. Students and parents interviewed by the Journal were split on the policy.

Heather Wilson says she probably won’t run again

ALBUQUERQUE — Heather Wilson says she’s probably run her final race for elective office. The former Republican congresswoman lost a bid for a New Mexico seat in the U.S. Senate on Nov. 6. She tells the Albuquerque Journal in an interview she wishes the results were different but doesn’t think she can ask her husband to deal with another campaign. The 51-year-old also says she thinks she’s “done her time.” Wilson says her campaign and Republicans in general failed to win over Hispanic, women and young voters. She lost the election to Democrat Martin Heinrich by 6 percentage points. Wilson said she wants to look for leadership opportunities in the private sector to achieve some of the economic development goals she had hoped to accomplish in Congress.

Drought sparks lockdown of Moriarty fire hydrants MORIARTY — All the fire hydrants in one rural New Mexico community will soon have locks on them. Moriarty Fire Chief Steve Spann says employees with the public works division have been installing the bright red locks to prevent water thefts as well as any misuse of the hydrants that Spann’s firefighters depend on. Spann says all his crews will have master keys to ensure the hydrants can be accessed quickly if needed. City officials tell Albuquerque television station KOAT that 2 million gallons of water were unaccounted for in one month. Officials believe thousands of gallons have gone to people who are stealing the water. Spann says the city has been researching possible solutions and believes the locks will prevent any undue water losses, especial during this time of drought.

Rolling Stones celebrate 50 years Hot Yoga by Gregory P. Katz

The Associated Press

LONDON — The Rolling Stones made a triumphant return to the London stage on Sunday night in the first of five concerts to mark the 50th anniversary of their debut as an American-oriented blues band. They showed no signs of wear and tear — except on their aging, heavily lined faces — as frontman Mick Jagger swaggered and strutted through a stellar two-and-a-half hour show. He looked remarkably trim and fit and was in top vocal form. The Stones passed the half-century mark in style at the sometimes emotional gig that saw former bassist Bill Wyman and guitar master Mick Taylor join their old mates in front of a packed crowd at London’s 02 Arena. It was the first of five megashows to mark the passage of 50 years since the band first appeared in a small London pub determined to pay homage to the masters of American blues. Jagger, in skin-tight black pants, a black shirt and a sparkly tie, took time out from singing to thank the crowd for its loyalty. “It’s amazing that we’re still doing this, and it’s amazing that you’re still buying our records and coming to our shows,” he said. “Thank you, thank you, thank you.” Lead guitarist Keith Richards, whose survival has surprised many who thought he would succumb to drugs and drink, was blunter: “We made it,” he said. “I’m happy to see you. I’m happy to see anybody.” But the band’s fiery music was no joke, fuelled by an incandescent guest appearance by Taylor, who played lead guitar on a stunning extended version of the ominous “Midnight Rambler,” and Mary J. Blige, who shook the house in a duet with Jagger on “Gimme Shelter.” The 50th anniversary show, which will be followed by one more in London, then three in the greater New York area, lacked some of the band’s customary bravado — the “world’s greatest rock ‘n’ roll band” intro was shelved — and there were some rare nostalgic touches. Even the famously taciturn Wyman briefly cracked a smile when trading quips with Richards and Ronnie Wood. The concert started with a brief video tribute from luminaries like Elton John, Iggy Pop and Johnny Depp, who praised the Stones for their audacity and staying power. The Stones’ show contained an extended video homage to the American

The montage included rare footage of the young Elvis Presley. The Stones began their professional career imitating the Americans whose music they cherished, but they quickly developed their own style, spawning hundreds — make that thousands — of imitators who have tried in vain to match their swagger and style. The concert began with some early Stones’ numbers that are rarely heard in concert, including the band’s cover of the Lennon-McCartney rocker “I Wanna Be Your Man” and the Stones original “It’s All Over Now.” They didn’t shy away from their darker numbers, including “Paint It Black” and “Sympathy for the Devil” — Jagger started that one wearing a black, purple-lined faux fur cape that conjured up his late ‘60s satanic image. He even cracked a joke about one of the band’s low points, telling the audience it was in for a treat: “We’re going to play the entire “Satanic

Majesty’s Request” album now,” he said, referring to one of the band’s least-loved efforts, a psychedelic travesty that has been largely, mercifully, forgotten. He didn’t make good on his threat. He also made fun of the sky-high ticket prices, which had exposed the band to some criticism in the London press. “How are you doing up in the cheap seats,” he said, motioning to fans in the upper rows of the cavernous 02 Arena. “Except they’re not cheap seats, that’s the problem.” But Jagger seemed more mellow than usual, chatting a bit about the good old days and asking if there was anyone in the crowd who had seen them in 1962, when they first took to the stage. He said 2012 had been a terrific year for Britain and that the Stones nearly missed the boat, playing no role in the celebration of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, the London Olympics, or the new James Bond film. “We just got in under the wire,” he said. “We feel pretty good.”

COLUMN

Statehood best serves Puerto Rico Neither full independence nor free association quite fits the bill

Editor’s Note: This column is the second of two about the recent referendum in which Puerto Ricans voted regarding their territory’s legal status with the United States.

by John Tyczkowski

Daily Lobo columnist opinion@dailylobo.com In my previous column, I talked about the legal and political relationship between Puerto Rico and the United States since 1898 in preparation for this discussion about the pros and cons of statehood, independence or free association. This was prompted by a referendum earlier this month on the status of Puerto Rico’s relationship with the United States. Voters showed their dissatisfaction with the island’s current status as a U.S. territory when 54 percent, or nearly 960,000 people, voted in favor of changing the island’s legal status. Another 65,882 voters did not respond to the question. When asked how the status should be changed, 61 percent of voters, or 824,195 people, indicated statehood; 33 percent, or 449,679 voters, indicated free association; and 5 percent, or 74,812 voters, indicated full independence. However, there were 480,794 ballots that answered the first question only and not the second, so whether the referendum’s results truly represent the will of the Puerto Rican people is up for debate. Traditionally, the only options for Puerto Ricans who reject the status quo were either full statehood or full independence. However this latest vote introduced the new option of free association, which falls about halfway between the two traditional paths. Here’s what each might entail: Statehood for Puerto Rico would bring such a great number of benefits that it would seem hard to vote against it. Puerto Ricans would gain voting representation in Congress, as well as electoral votes in the Electoral College. They would enjoy complete protections and rights under the Constitution and Bill of Rights, and would finally be allowed to partake in the full benefits of Social Security. More concretely, the new state of Puerto Rico would be eligible for billions of dollars in federal aid, which could help the current 13 percent unemployment rate and weakening infrastructure. On that note, some mainland Americans

might see statehood for Puerto Rico as merely another welfare drain. However, if managed correctly, that aid money could be used to effectively rejuvenate the local economy and infrastructure. It could also help stop the breakup of families, because younger Puerto Ricans would no longer have to come to the mainland United States to seek better opportunities. Being from Connecticut, where there is a large Puerto Rican population, I can attest to this last problem personally. Several of my Puerto Rican friends have split families and only see their grandparents or other relatives once every few years due to the cost of travel to and from the island. Statehood would bring some potentially unwanted changes. As citizens of a state, all Puerto Ricans would be required to pay federal income taxes, and all corporations doing business in Puerto Rico would be required to pay federal corporate taxes. There is also a fear that Puerto Rico’s statehood would lead to contamination of Puerto Rico’s unique culture by mainstream American culture. Full independence for Puerto Rico has been largely seen as a drastic step and has not enjoyed popular support. Independence is not a wise choice, mostly because Puerto Rico is not economically equipped for independence. While it is extremely well off as far as Caribbean nations go, most of its economic power comes from its close links to the United States and complete integration into the Federal Reserve System, which would be lost upon independence. Also, independence would create numerous immigration and citizenship problems. At the time of such a hypothetical separation, would Puerto Ricans living in the mainland United States still be U.S. citizens? Would there be a grace period during which they could decide which country’s citizenship to claim? What about dual citizenship? Would there be a cutoff date for Puerto Rican citizenship, or would all people born in Puerto Rico, no matter how many decades ago, automatically be made Puerto Rican citizens? Would mainland-born children with island-born parents be Americans or Puerto Ricans? There are many more questions. Ignoring economic issues for the moment, the trouble that this alone would cause for the island and the United States is a strong

argument against independence. Finally, the new compromise position, called a compact of free association, polled at 33 percent support and is the system currently used between the U.S. and the countries of the Federated States of Micronesia, the Marshall Islands and the Republic of Palau. It could potentially prevent some, but not all, of the problems Puerto Rico would face as an independent country. Technically, the three countries with these compacts are sovereign nations, separate from the United States. However, at the same time, these nations enjoy U.S. federal aid and services from agencies such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the National Weather Service, the U.S. Postal Service, the Federal Communications Commission and the Federal Aviation Administration. These three nations also enjoy full protection by the U.S. military, and their citizens can be recruited into the U.S. military. However, the United States does not control these countries’ foreign policies and may not declare war on their behalf. Also, as long as they have passports, residents of these nations may live and work freely in the United States, and U.S. citizens may live and work freely in these nations as well. Choosing this option would negate many of the aforementioned immigration and citizenship drawbacks to independence, and it would potentially give Puerto Rico a solid enough backing to survive the transition period while forging its own economy and establishing diplomatic ties with other nations. Essentially, it seems that statehood is the best option for the Puerto Rican people, in order to alleviate the major problems on the island. Though Puerto Rico would give up its federal income tax and corporate tax exemptions, the benefits of having equal footing with the 50 states would help the island immeasurably, and the risks would be minimal. At the same time, though full independence has not been proven to be a viable alternative to statehood, a compact of free association, while not as immediately beneficial as statehood and still full more difficulties, could be an acceptable alternative that could prove to be just as positive for Puerto Rico in the long run.

NEW YORK — Bye-bye Black Friday. So long Small Business Saturday. Now, it’s Cyber Monday’s turn. Cyber Monday, coined in 2005 by a shopping trade group that noticed online sales spiked on the Monday following Thanksgiving, is the next in a series of days that stores are counting on to jumpstart the holiday shopping season. It’s estimated that this year’s Cyber Monday will be the biggest online shopping day of the year for the third year in a row: According to research firm comScore, Americans are expected to spend $1.5 billion, up 20 percent from last year on Cyber Monday, as retailers have ramped up their deals to get shoppers to click on their websites. Amazon.com, which is starting its Cyber Monday deals at midnight on Monday, is offering as much as 60 percent off a Panasonic VIERA 55inch TV that’s usually priced higher than $1,000. Sears is offering $430 off a Maytag washer and dryer, each on sale for $399. And Kmart is offering 75 percent off all of its diamond earrings and $60 off a 12-in-1 multigame table on sale for $89.99. Retailers are hoping the deals will appeal to shoppers like Matt Sexton, 39, who for the first time plans to complete all of his holiday shopping online this year on his iPad. Sexton, who plans to spend up to $4,000 this season, already shopped online on the day after Thanksgiving known as Black Friday and found a laptop from Best Buy for $399, a $200 savings, among other deals. “The descriptions and reviews are so much better online so you can compare and price shop and for the most part get free shipping,” said Sexton, who lives in Queens, N.Y., and is a manager at a utility company. Sexton also said that it’s easier to return an online purchase to a physical store than it had been in previous years. “That helps with gifts,” he said. How well retailers fare on Cyber Monday will offer insight into Americans’ evolving shopping habits during the holiday shopping season, a time when stores can make up to 40 percent of their annual revenue. With the growth in high speed Internet access and the wide use of smartphones and tablets, people are relying less on their work computers to shop than they did when Shop.org, the digital

division of trade group The National Retail Federation, introduced the term “Cyber Monday.” “People years ago didn’t have … connectivity to shop online at their homes. So when they went back to work after Thanksgiving they’d shop on the Monday after,” said Vicki Cantrell, executive director of Shop. org. “Now they don’t need the work computer to be able to do that.” As a result, the period between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday has become busy for online shopping as well. Indeed, online sales on Thanksgiving Day, traditionally not a popular day for online shopping, rose 32 percent over last year to $633 million, according to comScore. And online sales on Black Friday were up 26 percent from the same day last year, to $1.042 billion. It was the first time online sales on Black Friday surpassed $1 billion. For the holiday season-to-date, comScore found that $13.7 billion has been spent online, marking a 16 percent increase over last year. The research firm predicts that online

sales will surpass 10 percent of total retail spending this holiday season. The National Retail Federation estimates that overall retail sales in November and December will be up 4.1 percent this year to $586.1 billion But as other days become popular for online shopping, Cyber Monday may lose some of its cache. To be sure, Cyber Monday hasn’t always been the biggest online shopping day. In fact, up until three years ago, that title was historically earned by the last day shoppers could order items with standard shipping rates and get them delivered before Christmas. That day changes every year, but usually falls in late December. Even though Cyber Monday is expected to be the biggest online shopping day this year, industry watchers say it could just be a matter of time before other days take that ranking. “Of all the benchmark spending days, Thanksgiving is growing at the fastest rate, up 128 percent over the last five years,” said Andrew Lipsman, a spokesman with comScore.

New Mexico Daily Lobo

‘It’s just disappointing’ Lobos close the season with a 24-20 loss to CSU

by Thomas Romero-Salas sports@dailylobo.com @ThomasRomeroS

The UNM football team hasn’t been able to put together a gamewinning drive all season, a trend that continued on Saturday. The Lobos came up short once again, losing 24-20 at Colorado State in the season finale for both teams. “It’s the same story. What is that? Five of the last six games we have the ball on the last possession to win it,” head coach Bob Davie said. “We can’t make enough plays when we have to. It’s just disappointing to have the same story each week.” With 1:29 left in the game, senior quarterback B.R. Holbrook drove the Lobos down to the Rams’ 16-yard line. But there would be no fairy-tale ending. Holbrook’s final pass attempt of the game to freshman wide receiver Carlos Wiggins came up short. Holbrook, who on Saturday made his first appearance since separating his shoulder during a game against Fresno State on Oct. 27, threw for a season-high 205 yards, completing 12 of 21 at-

tempts with one touchdown. “It’s kind of a whirlwind, a lot of different emotions,” he said. “I’m happy that it happened, but at the same time, tonight was pretty disappointing.” Davie said Holbrook started for freshman signal-caller Cole Gautsche because the freshman had the flu and didn’t practice all week. “B.R. stepped up; that’s what B.R. is and what’s he all about. I was really hoping the last play of the game we would have a magical moment,” Davie said. “He’s a heck of a kid; it’s just too bad we couldn’t win it.” The Rams jumped out to an early 14-0 lead thanks to freshman quarterback Conner Smith’s 29-yard touchdown pass and a 3-yard score by freshman running back Donnell Alexander. Davie said the team wasn’t prepared for the way the Rams came out to start. “I thought they came out and kicked us in the mouth early,” he said. “We never really could get a rhythm on offense. We’re never going to be able to win without a defense.” Then on third-and-8 from CSU’s 38 yard line, UNM junior linebacker

Dallas Bollema intercepted Smith and ran the ball back to the Rams’ 3-yard line. Three plays later, junior running back Kasey Carrier ran it in from 1 yard out to cut the deficit to 7 with 51 seconds left in the first quarter. Carrier rushed for 59 yards on 16 attempts for one touchdown. With his 59 yards, he surpassed DonTrell Moore to become single-season leader in rushing in UNM history. Carrier finished the season with 1,469 yards. After one field goal by CSU and two by UNM, the Lobos took their first advantage of the game when Holbrook hit freshman running back Jhurell Pressley on a 55-yard touchdown pass, taking the score to 20-17 with 3:12 remaining in the game. CSU answered with a 7-play, 76-yard, 1:37 drive capped by a 30yard touchdown pass from Smith to freshman wide receiver Joe Hansley for a 24-20 lead. Holbrook tried to mount a comeback but came up short when his final pass attempt fell shy of Wiggins, giving the senior his final loss of his career by a score of 24-20.

Beavers lose the Civil War Oregon State loses to Oregon 48-24 in annual rivalry game

by Anne M. Peterson The Associated Press

Congratulate Last Week’s

Lobo Winners!

CORVALLIS, Ore. — Oregon State’s season is far from over, despite the loss to Oregon in the Civil War. For the past two seasons, the Beavers have been done after the annual rivalry game. This year, they’re not only going to a bowl game, they’ve got another regular-season game next Saturday. Oregon State (8-3, 6-3) will host Nicholls State in a matchup that was supposed to open the season but was put off when Hurricane Isaac bore down on the Colonels’ Thibodaux, La., campus. “We are down to the last couple of chapters and we need to talk to the team about putting an exclamation point on who they want to be remembered as,” Beavers coach Mike Riley said. “One of the first ways a team is remembered is their record, so we want to make that record as good as we can.” While the Beavers’ 48-24 loss to the No. 5 Ducks stung, it didn’t diminish an amazing turnaround from a 3-9 finish last season. “Mike’s a great football coach and there are some players out there that are the top players in our conference,” Oregon coach Chip Kelly said. “You see them live and in person and they are as good as ever.” But the Beavers simply weren’t quite as good as the Ducks on Saturday. Kenjon Barner ran for 198 yards and two touchdowns for the Ducks (11-1, 8-1) despite leaving the game for a time with an in-

jury. De’Anthony Thomas helped picked up the slack while Barner was on the sidelines, running for 122 yards and three scores. Redshirt freshman Marcus Mariota threw for 140 yards and a score, and also ran for 85 yards and a touchdown. It was Oregon’s fifth straight victory in the 116-game rivalry series with the Beavers. Beavers quarterback Sean Mannion threw for 311 yards and a touchdown but was intercepted four times. Storm Woods rushed for 70 yards and two scores. Mannion started the first four games of the season, throwing seven touchdowns and averaging 339 yards, but injured his left knee and required surgery. Cody Vaz, who hadn’t started since high school, took over and helped the Beavers to win in the next two games, and later became the team’s starter. But Vaz sprained his left ankle in the final moments of a loss to Stanford two weeks ago, and sat out last Saturday during Oregon State’s 64-14 victory at home over California. Mannion got the nod for the Civil War. “This (the Nicholls State game) will be a great opportunity for the team to bounce back and have a game where we come out and really put the pressure on ourselves,” Mannion said. Fans at the game numbered 47,249, setting Reser Stadium record. Oregon put the Stanford loss behind them by striking quickly on their first possession with Mariota’s 42yard keeper. The touchdown drive took just 1:46, but the Ducks’ 2-point try to cap it off failed.

The Beavers took a 7-6 lead on Woods’ 7-yard touchdown run, but the Ducks answered on the next series with Thomas’ 2-yard TD dash. Barner added a 1-yard scoring run before he was hurt. Stanford held Barner to 66 yards the week before, but he had 141 yards before halftime against the Beavers. With his first 15 yards rushing Saturday, he moved past Derek Loville (198689) for second on Oregon’s career rushing list. Trevor Romaine kicked a 36yard field goal to narrow it to 2010 at halftime and the Beavers pulled closer with Woods’ 2-yard scoring run on their first series of the second half. It was all Ducks the rest of the way. Thomas scored on a 6-yard run to extend Oregon’s lead to 27-17, before the Ducks capitalized on a Beaver fumble that led to Thomas’ 29-yard touchdown run. Barner returned with his 1-yard run and Mariota found B.J. Kelley with a 2-yeard scoring pass. Mannion hit Micah Hatfield with a 6-yard touchdown pass with 20 seconds left for the final margin. The Ducks hold a 60-46-10 advantage in the Civil War which dates back to 1894 and is the seventh-most contested rivalry in the nation. It was the fourth time that both teams were ranked for the Civil War. The last was in 2009, when Oregon was No. 7 and Oregon State was No. 13. That game was dubbed the “War of the Roses” because the winner was guaranteed a Rose Bowl berth. Oregon won 37-33.

SPORTS BRIEFS Volleyball Sophomore outside hitter Chantale Riddle became the UNM volleyball team’s single-season points leader during the Lobos’ final two regularseason games last week. However, UNM dropped its final two games of the regular season, enduring 3-1 losses to both Wyoming on Wednesday and Colorado State on Friday. The Lobos end their campaign with a 20-13 overall record and 7-9 in Mountain West Conference play. Riddle scored 599 points, the best single-season mark in school history. She recorded the secondhighest single-season kills mark with 515. She ranks fourth in block assists and fifth in total blocks. Against Wyoming, Riddle had 18 kills and 11 digs, her 15th double-double of the year. She added another 16 kills against Colorado State. Freshman outside hitter Alijah Gunsaulus had a team-high 17 kills against the Rams, while junior outside hitter Lena Skipper had 10.

it will help us down the road.” Sanchez said the second half was positive despite the loss. “I’m most proud of the second half by the way we battled back. I told them at halftime, ‘Play it out on the court and I’ll live with the results.’ And I think we battled back,” she said. Halasz said the Lobos’ second half performance should foreshadow better playing.

Page “The intensity they came out with impressed me. We’re going to get better. We came into the locker room with our heads up,” Halasz said. “We came back in the second half fighting. I thought that was good for us. We just need to do that every half and fight for it.” Sanchez said the Lobos plan to face more top-tier teams in the future.

“Any time you get a chance to play a school like that, you have to do it,” she said. “We’ll continue to do it, and our players will get better.”

Celtics outlast Orlando Magic Boston defeats Orlando 116-110 in overtime

by Kyle Hightower The Associated Press

ORLANDO, Fla. — Kevin Garnett had 24 points and 10 rebounds, Paul Pierce added 23 points and Rajon Rondo was one rebound shy of a triple double with 15 points and 16 assists as the Boston Celtics outlasted the Orlando Magic 116-110 in overtime Sunday night. The Celtics won their second straight and earned their sixth consecutive win over the Magic. They return home Wednesday for a pair of home games, beginning with Brooklyn on Wednesday. J.J. Redick scored 21 and Jameer Nelson had 20 for the Magic, whose loss snapped a two-game win streak. Orlando led by as many as seven in the fourth quarter, but had 19 turnovers. It was the seventh straight game in which the Magic have had at least 15 turnovers. The Magic host San Antonio on Wednesday. After some early back-and-forth, the Celtics broke the overtime stalemate and took a 113-108 lead on a 3-pointer by Pierce, and layup by

Rondo with 1:37 left. Nelson scored on a driving layup to trim it to three and the Magic got the ball back after Rondo came up with air on a 21-footer as the shot clock wound down. But Nelson fired up an off balance 3 on Orlando’s ensuing touch, and following a foul, Garnett connected 1 of 2 free throws on the other end to make it 114-110 to lock up the victory. It was a disappointing finish for what was a masterful second half by Nelson in which he carried the Magic nearly singlehandedly with 17 points in the final two quarters and overtime. Nelson scored the Magic’s final eight points of the third quarter, including a fade away jumper to end the period to give the Magic a twopoint edge entering the fourth. The lead grew as big as seven on a 3-pointer by Arron Afflalo with just over eight minutes remaining. The Celtics weren’t deterred, though, and immediately went in a 10-2 run to take the lead back at 98-97. Redick tied it again at 100 with a

UNM’s Fine Art Magazine

3-pointer, but couldn’t connect on a lob to Afflalo after chasing down a loose ball. The Celtics returned the favor with a turnover of their own, leading to a driving layup by Glen Davis. Boston quickly tied it again, and collected a rebound on its next possession after a missed jumper by Nelson with 30.4 left. After a Celtics’ timeout, Garnett missed an open jumper just inside the free throw line, but the ball caromed off a Magic player giving them another chance. But Pierce missed a leaning jumper at the buzzer to send it to overtime. The Celtics scored 13 points off nine Magic turnovers in the first half and led by as many as 12. When Orlando wasn’t giving Boston easy baskets in transition, Rondo was a facilitating for his teammates in the half court. He dished out nine assists to go along with 10 points in the half, missing only two of his seven shots from the field. For the half, the Celtics also had a 30-16 scoring advantage in the paint.

Year Zero Weekly Horoscopes by Alexandra Swanberg aswanny@unm.edu

The festive music is coming Capricorn—The sun’s transit into

Sagittarius is giving you the opportunity to expand your concept of your capabilities. You are terribly realistic, which tends to crush the dreams that cross your mind, visions of a life you desire but can’t see yourself living any time soon. It is finally time to take action toward your greatest ambition. The key is to take pleasure in the process rather than getting caught up in how far you are from the goal. Aquarius—You might surprise yourself if you decide to take initiative in your life. These past few weeks of Mercury in retrograde have served to slow your movement in any direction you’ve attempted to go, and the frustration has left you in a mental rut. This week, Mercury returns to direct motion, and you have the chance to account for the lessons offered up by this apparent stagnation. Be prepared to take off on a radical new path. Pisces—Something has clicked in your mind this week, and you feel this connection reverberating throughout your entire being. This renewed verve will take you in unexpected directions. Be open to the ride, but be sure you don’t lose your head entirely. It will be difficult to stay grounded with the full moon on Wednesday encouraging everyone to fully express their internal struggles and joy. Aries—The conditions are setting you up for an intense week, and not necessarily because you’ll be loaded with obligations. There is a fire inside you fanned by the strong Scorpio presence and the sun’s recent transition into fiery Sagittarius. Not only will you be inspired and creative, you will have the drive you need to act on these things, and even follow through on a few ideas. This can be a memorable time for you, just be sure to keeps thoughts about yourself and others positive. Taurus—The pace is picking up, whether you’re ready for it or not.

This tidal wave of mad energy and chaos peaks on Wednesday morning when the moon is full. As difficult as it is, you will have to relinquish some control. And as soon as you do, everything will fall into place as it should. Don’t neglect your obligations, but understand the unexpected is bound to come up. Your attitude will steer you, so be positive regardless of what comes up. It will be OK. Gemini—This week will fly by so quickly that by the end, you may look back upon it as if it were a dream. Wednesday and Thursday are your days to shine, especially if you dabble in activities outside your comfort zone or established routines. If you’ve been considering a leap of faith, or taking a chance at something different, go for it midweek. It may or may not last, but regardless of how it turns out, it will prove to be a valuable experience. Cancer—This may be a confusing week for you, so take a couple of weeks to mull over this week’s happenings before you reach a solid conclusion. Your comfort zone is nowhere to be found, and the cosmos seem to be testing how well you stand up to pressure. The world is exploding in your mind, and it’s hard to know where you fit into it at this time. Try to keep a level head, and make sure you talk over your problems with a good friend so the issues aren’t stewing in your brain. Leo—Your theme song for this week is “I Can See Clearly Now.” This is not to say you can hop in the hammock and nap through the madness that is to be this week, but you won’t feel as if you’re being swept away by a tidal wave of inner anguish. You are surer of where you stand on issues that have been demanding your attention the past few weeks. With this boost in self-confidence, you’ll be a better player at work, in your family, wherever you’re needed this month.

Virgo—You are facing a potential disaster. Did this freak you out? Don’t worry so much. As counterintuitive as it seems, you need to loosen your grip on matters this week. It will do your poor nerves a favor, and you might enjoy the unexpected events you are thrown into once you let yourself go. This is a week to face fears. Go for it at your own pace, as long as you make the decision to give it a try you’ll be on the right track. Libra—This past few weeks with the sun in Scorpio have been like a trek through a steamy bog for you. The people you can usually count on for support have likely been feeling their way through a fog of their own. Hopefully, you’ve gotten a better sense of how capable you are of acting on your own, as you tend to rely on others for reassurance and emotional support. This week is the time to reunite. Grandiose plans and wild adventures are sure to come. Scorpio—You can expect a grand conclusion to answer your burning questions by the full moon on Wednesday. Unfortunately, you may not be satisfied with what you find out, and you’re likely to think there’s more to it. Let things rest for a few weeks. Many changes have taken place, and you need time to acquaint yourself with this new territory. Even if you’re sure something needs to change, you should wait until you know exactly what needs to be done. Sagittarius—As you consider the events of the past few weeks, you will truly understand what it means for matters to get worse before they get better. Try not to blow off the uneasiness and distress of the past as a condition you had to endure, as it’s more than the outside world and the people in it that have been bothering you. Take time this week to figure out what this all means in terms of who you are, and think why these things have been bothering you.

Defense offsets poor shooting, netting UNM win by J.R. Oppenheim

better. The big key right now has been rebounding.” Fenton joined Kirk in doublefigure scoring with 12 points, a season high, on 4 of 13 shooting. Greenwood had 10 points on 3 of 8 attempts from the field. UNM had a 30-27 advantage at halftime and consistently lead by as many as seven points in the first 20 minutes. The Lobos outscored the Pilots 39-27 in the second half, spurred by an early 10-0 run. Seven of those points came on UNM’s first three possessions, including Snell’s triple. “Coach always preaches we have to play 40 minutes. We haven’t played a full game yet,” Fenton said. “The last 20 minutes have been good to us in the last six games.” UNM held the leading Portland scorer to single digits. Junior forward Ryan Nicholas, who entered Sunday’s contest averaging 14.3 points per game, netted eight points against the Lobos. Sophomore guard Kevin Bailey led the Pilots with 11 points but fouled out with 11 minutes left to play. Junior guard Korey Thieleke also had 11 points. UNM junior guards Kendall Williams and Demetrius Walker played limited roles in the game as punishment for arriving late to a team meeting, Alford said. Williams, a usual starter, did not start the game and came off the bench. Walker had been a starter in the first four games, but he was moved to the bench against Idaho. As a result, he was further down in the rotation. “I thought they responded well,” Alford said. “That’s what college is all about. The kids make some mistakes and there are consequences. They had their consequences and that’s over. Hopefully we won’t have those issues again.” The Lobos conclude their threegame homestand Wednesday against Mercer. Both teams were at the U.S. Virgin Islands Paradise Jam last weekend but did not face each other. On Friday, UNM captured a 73-58 win over Idaho.

assistantsports@dailylobo.com @JROppenheim Steve Alford admits he may have jinxed his team for Sunday night’s home game against Portland. In regard to his pregame talk with his team, the UNM men’s basketball coach said he addressed the possibility of poor shooting and the team’s need to improve its defense. The Lobos had 10 of 20 shots from the 3-point line Friday against Idaho, but struggled on the defensive end at times. “Guys, we’re going to have nights where you don’t make things,” he said. “That happens throughout the season, but what’s got to remain consistent is the defense.” That may have gotten in the Lobos’ heads on both accounts. UNM overcame poor shooting and a sloppy first half against Portland, but the half-court defense came through to lead the Lobos to a 69-54 win. The Lobos improved to 6-0 on the season after their second of three consecutive games at The Pit. From the field, UNM shot 19 of 57 attempts, or 33.3 percent, and made two of its 19 shots from the 3-point arc. Senior guard Jamal Fenton shot 1 of 5 and junior guard Tony Snell was 1 of 4 from downtown. Sophomore guard Hugh Greenwood missed all five of his attempts. But Portland’s shooting woes were worse. The Pilots hit 18 of 56 from the field, or 32.1 percent, and 1 of 10 from 3-point range. Derrick Rodgers sank Portland’s only 3-pointer midway through the second half as Portland missed eight first-half attempts. “Our half-court defense was really good tonight,” Alford said. “We took a lot of things away. We made it hard on them. Our 3-point defense, they get one 3-pointer on the night. We did a great job on the backboard.” Alex Kirk led UNM on the statistics sheet. The sophomore center finished with a doubledouble, scoring 14 points and pulling down 11 rebounds. He shot 6 of 10 from the field, and all his rebounds came on the defensive end. Kirk posted the second double-double of his UNM career; the first came in his first

Bulldogs’ defense breaks Lobos’ winning streak by Christian Naranjo sports@dailylobo.com @cnaranjo7

The No. 8-ranked Georgia Bulldogs showed the UNM women’s basketball team what one of the nation’s premier teams looks like at the annual Thanksgiving Tournament Saturday night at The Pit. UNM did not recover from a 40-17 halftime deficit. The Lobos’ struggles led to a 72-42 defeat, their first of the season. According to head coach Yvonne Sanchez, the hammering loss to a top-10 program signifies the different skill levels of the two squads. “That’s the difference between a program striving for a

Final Four run and one that’s rebuilding,” she said. The Bulldogs ran an aggressive full-court zone press defense that led to 24 turnovers and limited the Lobos’ field goal shooting to 29.4 percent. Georgia head coach Andy Landers said he was impressed by New Mexico’s attack and wanted to halt the Lobos’ offense with the hostile defense. “They are very good, especially offensively. I think they were the best team we’ve played this season, no question,” he said. “They are very disciplined, skilled, and can shoot the heck out of the ball. We just wanted to disrupt their flow.” Senior guard Jasmine James, named Tournament Most Valuable Player, paced Georgia

with 17 points, five assists, six steals and three rebounds in only 24 minutes. Meanwhile, New Mexico junior guard Sara Halasz contributed a team-high 14 points and four rebounds. Senior guard Caroline Durbin struggled in the first half, shooting 2 of 9, but ended the game shooting 4 of 5 from 3-point range. Durbin said the experience of playing Georgia, although disappointing, will benefit the Lobos later in the season. “I’ve never played a top-10 team before. It was an eye-opener. They execute well and play good defense. That is a level we would like to get to,” she said. “Unfortunately, this is a loss, but
