As students file out of their classrooms, they dart across czunPusand pass the antiabortion exhibit set up by theJustice for All organizalion.

Some shrdents stop and stand around the l&foot-ull display, shielding their eyes from the sun to get a beuer look at the imagesand messages.Other shrdentswalk past quickly and simply glance at the pictures.

"We shouldn't be here looking at these pictures," said Metro sophomore Spencer Essey,who was protesting the exhibit, saying women should have the right to choose and that if abortion were illegal, women would forced into "back-alley abortions."

Justice for All is an anti-abortion activist organization that brings its messageto college and university carnPuses*uough the asiistance of their taveling exhibir The dis play was set up from Sept 29 !o Oct 4 near the flagpole area on camPus. Meho iunior Kalie Alimonos said the exhibit was hard for her to look at becauseshe is 20 weeks pregnarlt and had just begun to feel the baby kick.

"It scaresme to think about it (abortion) being illegal,' Alimonos said.

Justice for All claims that aborting fehrses during a pregnancy proPagates inhumane, genocidal behavior againstunbom children.

Its mission is to create debate, change hears and save lives. They say thal with their exhibit, they can do just that Justice for All brings in volunteen from all over the country to speak with onlookers wherever the exhibit is on display. Focus on the Family, a conservative Christian organization out of Colorado Springs, sent many of its sh-rdenbto Auraria for the weekend.

One volunteer estimated |}:,ar70 to 75 vohmteers were dispersed throughout the crowd at any given time.

Mebo junior Mike Tinker argued with a Justice for All volunteer about the definition of a human being.

'Their whole motive is to incite debate," Tinker said.

By Liz Carrasco caryascl@m.scrt.ertu On SepL 27, another woman was formd dead in Juarez, Mexico, half-naked, close to a police station.

And no one had any artswers.

It would seem like another unanswered questiorl another murder, bug muluply her death by 400 women since 1993 and still no answers?

That s the question asked by Lar:ra Ga.rci4 an activist and edilor of Tribuno dcl fuehh, a national bili"C,ral magazine, who spoke at the Tivoli SepL.28 in hopes of shedding some light on the bmtal murders.

When Garcia ffrst Faveled toJuarez, a city separated fiom the United Staies by the Rio Grande and an unforgiving border, she went to seefor herself if she rnight ffnd answers.She was told, "It is the police, family memben, psychopaths,and it all Points to a society that turns women into a cheap commodity."

Garcia blames the inhoduction of the maquiladoras, or factories run by U.S. corporatiors in Mexico.

"Theprohlenl is one of the state.

"Sixty four percent of the worken in maquiladoras are women. Why? Because women are more submi+ sive. Now, these women are walking through impoverished colonias(colonies) where there is no running water' no elecbicity and no public bansportation," Garcia said during her presentation.

SIie went on to explain that the women tend to choose the later shifo at these factories because they have to take care of their farnilies during the day.

"They are being dropped off at midnight on thesedark roads, leaving them vulnerable," Garcia said.

'The oroblem is one of the state' The state doeJ not create a state of safety for women. Now, the Mexican and U.S. police force within that area is under investgation by the FBI, for the lack of answers," said Garcia.

Holding back tears, Garcia described a monument to these women, which feat-res a cross to the youngest victim, a llyearold srd.

The families of these victims are fighting and demanding answersfrom their govemmenl for fear that their daughters', cousins', friends' deathswill soon be forgotten, Garcia said.

She also erplained how David Mesa, a cousin of one of thesegirls, was tortured and forced to admit to the murder in exchange for his life in pdson.

Garcia said that Patricia Cew-antes,the mother of a victim. asked that she continue

haveright roself It's a scary time for folls like us. John Roberb, a min whose stance on femje re productive freedom is anlthing but certain, warr swom in as our new Supreme Court ChiefJustice last Thursday. By the time this column is printed, we will be facing the inevitable conffrrnation of yet anothei conservative judge.

According to The New York Times, "Senator Sam Brownback, Republican of Kansas ... told dre White House that he wanted the next nominee to have a demonstrated record of willingness to reconsider Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court's 1973 abortion decision."

Could this landmark democratic decision be overtrmed in the next few years?

For those of us who bebeve the government has no right to enforce maternit)', the pros pect is a frightening one.

Female reproductive Feedom is prob'issue ably the mosi passionarely debated on our national agenda. It divides us like nothing else-more so, even, than the haq bloodbath (everyone now seesthat for the fiasco it is, ;ght?).

The debate has often centered on whether or not a fetus is a human being.

The answer to that question then, presu.riably, determineswhether or not abortion is killing, and so, whether ii is right or r4rong.

For years, pro-choice liberals have maintained tha! indeed a fetus is not a human being; therefore, abortion is not the taking o! t human life. but merely a bit of simpl6 (if fgly inwasive)cupateni suigery.

I would like to suggestthat we liberals give up this weak argument and focus on the real issue:a woman's inalienable right to control what happens to her body. kt us then concede that a fehrs, or even a rygote, is human (for what else, really, cor.rldit be?I. But let us demand a woman's right to expunge from her body anlthing, oi anyone, she does not want there. After all, a woman's body belongs to her-not to the federal government, not to her lover, and not to her child.

Perhaps abortion is, in fact, killing. But when a woman's body is invaded, wherher the intruder is innocent or not, she must have the right to stop that invasion.

Abortion is horrific business.The recent campus demonshation showed us this rather plainly. So be it.

What's more horrifying is the thought of rehming !o those dark ages when a woman's body was the property of her husband or her father or some other man, and thereby, the property of the pabiarchal state.

How many of those arresblncarceralions can we thank overspending for?

There is a bribf moment when Owen Wilson's character says,"Hey, man, I tlink this is a litle sleazy." When his mentor of this wedding crashing 'technique' thm shows him the exquisite joy of crashing firnerals, even his chagrin doesn't prevent him from partaking in the conquest of charade.

Don't get me wrong; I have no problems at all, ethicalln with casual sex.

Pleasureis not at issue here. hetense to pleasure is problemaiic. Feigning sincerity in your feelings for a penon seems unabashedly popr.rlar with those in my age group.

The justiffcatiori is that "Heyl We're young and we are, after all, still good people inside.

We believe, as a generation, that being ethical is accomplished simply by saying, "I am a good person.'

I think often about the things that have been said to me, off-handedln perhaps with no weight given by the speaker, but the impact of zuch things on the listener can be devastating.

At one poin! in high school, my mom and I were arguing and I told her Erat I wished she werent my mother. She said, "You need to be carefirl what you wish for, you just might get it'.

Consider the mad less taken, The Aristotelian model observes a good person is one who performs essential functions that test character. In this, we are products of selfdisclpline, which drives us to a virtre that thrives in excellence. The joumey to mastering one's character is not a destination by defaulr A person is what they do, not what they say they are. These functions are an end within themselves.

I will not be completely unfair to the "feel good hit of fte summer" and will say that by the end of the movie the main charactersredeem themselves.leam the error of their ways and live happily ever after with the women they met tbrough their excursions into young irresponsible firn.

Not only is he the youngest on the high court he has also been given the distinct honor of being named chilflustice.

I'rn not going tro wdte a crybaby column complaining that Roberts shouldn't be named to the courl let alone the Chief Tustice position. There will be enough of tJiose from the ever-shrinking liberal media soon enough. What I and a few other people in this country realire is that one of the perks of being president is you get !o give cushyjobs to your friends as well as to those who think just like you do.

The American people twice elected George W. Bush as president and now he geb to flex his executive privilege Dot once, but twice. Both Rehnquist s dearh and the impending retirement of moderate Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor gives "W" tr,voopen positions.

But Roberts' being pr.rshedthrough and nominated came way before Rebnquist died.

Only after Rebnquist's death was Roberts' name said in the same breath as the words "chief jusiice nominee." But is this right?

I don't agree with their politics most of the time, but wouldn't one of the seated ius tices make a better chief justice than a new guy? This is the same as brin$ng a rookie on0o a hockey leam and making him cap tain.

the same dayJohn Roberrs took f\" rtt" bench as the newestchiefjustice I l of the United Srates,Resideni Bush \-/ picked a rvomaq White House counsel Harriet Miers, 0o replace retiring.Justice Sandra Day O'Connor bn the Supiire Corut.

Mers isn't a surprisinq choice. Bush is known to favor lookins ti hlr fri*d. fft t when filling important Jositions, She has-bein at Bush'sside for decades. having served as his personal lawyer in Texas, where she led a-laree law ffrm and headed the Texas Bar Assoiiation. She also served as his lottery commissioner when he was govemor. Most recently, the president brought in Miers as dre new Whiie House counsel.

- While going with Mers has many people scraehing their heads, and conservauves and liberals wondering about her judicial philosophy, it's dear Bush is contcnt with his decision. . There might not be a good reason to chanse iL Nlien has been in private practice for most of her Me, having nerrer serrred as a judge, so sheiasn't got much in the way of a paper t (i*t like Robere). That wiil make it very"ilrlifffcult for the Democrats to find anytling they can use to derail her nomination. What lfile is lmown about her political leanings points to her being a conservative Christlan, so she's likely an gdgndi"q someone who will interyrii the Constitution as it s written based on the Founders'intentions.

If that is the case,Bush has made an excellent choice, one that will shape the court for years to come.

Miers may have the judicial ph.ilosophy Bushenvisionedwhen h6 sad hii nomineJs would be similar in outlook to TusticesAntonin Scaliaand ClarenceThorias, but there a-resome &ings about Mers that seem odd.

She is 60 years old. Most justices are about 50 when they're appointed to the courl

trust and the other qualities he was looking for in a norninee Another thing that bothers me is that Mien has no family. Her father is deceased and her mother is in a nursing home. She has no husband or children. Bv all accounts. her life is her -kind iob. That ma.kesme wonder if she has the of perspective and life experience a justice ought to have.

These interests and concems include. but are not limited to, receiving and making recommendations on ctrrrent and proposed changes in academig adminisbarive, fucal and persorurel policies. The Faculty Senate is part of the govemance at the college. The college operates using a system where the board of tnxtees and the oresident of the college involve the faculty in the decisionmaking process. The faculty offers sugges tions and recommendations, influencing the instihrton on mary levels. In most cases,the fuculty has much of the say in terms of the curriculum offered at the college.

The Faculty Senate has i number of cornrnittees, which perform much of the college work that is within the realm of the faculty, and at the boundary between educational and administrative concems.

Just like I laugh my ass off at the zuggestion that the "illegal polling station" was, um, illegal-when the same laws they cite would make Metro's entire online ballot methodology a crime.

While your fresh-faced senalors pore over Mickey Mouse Club hat specifications and jump on last year's grenades, this school is facing the greatestcrisis in its history.

The outcome of the election taling place this Nov. 1 will have enonnous conse quences for everyone at Metro, faculty and shrdentsalike.

The prospect of thousands of good students being forced out of college by skyrocketing hrition is sornething that should have every single one of us oubaged and volunteering down at the YES on Refererr d u m s C &D offi ce.

I asked SGA Student Trustee Brian Glotsbach this past week why the SGA has been completely silent on the issue, in marked conbast to other shrdent govemments aromd the state.

Apparendy, he got a memo saying "state employees" were verboten from getting involved.

He still hasn't responded to my question of how he was any more of a "state employee" than Andrew Romanoff or Bill Owens,

Since men are equally responsible for abortion, this letler airplitis to men iust as much as it does to women. It is womeq however, who are left in a situation where they feel alone and helpless. Isn't the child also alone and helpless? We must remenl ber that all of us were once an infant in the womb. To forget that, is to deny who we are. Would we have wanted our mothers to have an abortion if it was us inside her?

It makes sense that we would s:[ve ourselves,but how about thinking about others for once? The fact that babies are not on a.n equal level to defend themselves or vocalize their beliefs does not justi$ the action of abortion. They lack dre ability becar$e of their age and environmenL And so did we as babies. We cheat them out of their own lives for rationalizations.

I susDectthe men who harass her and other women have been abused by TV news, newspapers, bosses, and other rnen and women with ideas that suggest"a marq to be a manly man, has to be aggressiveand hostile and mistreat women."

But these men don't know they've been abused and have been given bad ideas, and haven't had the strength, thoughts and guidance to throw off bad ideas and leam and adopt good ones. . Zod might ve met one or more of them on the bus.

Some men watch TV news, see lots of stories every day about rapists, murderen, spouse abusers, thieves, drug dealers, and few storiesabout ways to avert violence, and so men are violent.

A lot of men have been abused by men and women whose words or conduct suggesb that women want men who are aggreg sive and mcaring and show toughness and manliness by acting badly, and these men don't know they've been abused and don't know any better. lI ZaE or another woman decides 0o be brave and/or compassionate,the next time she geb harassed,she could say something like "I'm sorry.

The book became a bestseller that was adapted to filrn in 1990. The film, directed by Rob Reiner, was a successwith a talented cast including James Caan ("The Godfather') and IGthy Bates ("Titanlc"), who won a Best Actress Oscar. Moore was the director of the original 1991I-ondon stageversion of "Misery."

Moore has written a variety of television, fflrn, and thea.he scripts including the BBC 'Trafrk," which inspired television series the fflm "Traffic," directed by Stephen Soderbergh.

In writing the stage version, Moore wanted to maintain the main therne of the novel and the zubsequent fflm. "Misery" is the story of a fan's obsession,one that overco-". ieasott and normal human behavior.

I throw my boat onto the pool ledge, drain the waler and latch back in. Hungry for another chance,I push away from my comfort zone in0o the water, ready to flip the boat ag'ainand engage fear.

Outdoor Adventure has put together a three-session,six-hour kayak pool se ries, which started at 3:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 23. In the recreation center pool, Iocated in the Auraria Event Center, sfirdents leam the basic lechniques used in this firn, yet dangerous, sport of kayaking. The OA witl be offering a spring seriesstarting April 14 for $45. Brian Ferguson, current director of OA, inherited the program, which has been avaiiable at Auraria for over 20 years.

The ffrst class begins with a discussion about the parts of the boat led by our OA insbuctor Cassidy Amold, a UCD student and two-year veleran of the program, Cassidy describes to his six shrdentsthe paxtsin exact terms and tries not to use any slang.

The stern and bow are the rear and front ofthe boa! respectively.The seated area is the cockpit ard your legs stetch. out inside to the bulkhead. There are adjustable sbaps to move the bulkhead forward and back, along with thigh braces to keep your legs from hining the interior of the boat The kayaks have a shallow bottom, weigh around 40 pounds and range from six to 12 feet in length.

Kayaks range in price from several hundred dollars to several tlousand for more advanced models, All of the equip ment and kayaks that we use are provided by OA at no exba charge.

Another key is the hip firust, which is a muscle response technique used to thrust the abs skyward while underwater. We practice this technique along the side of the pool with our head laying flat on the water, propped up by our hands.

Without using our arm muscles, we ro tate the boat as far as possible without tipping it and use our abs to rnove it back into the neueal position. This technique will be put into use la.terwhen doing the Eskimo mll and is one of the most imporhnt techniques of kayaking.

The last key is bringing your head up last During the hip snap, the head must come up lasf The forces of motion have the boat rocking as it rights itself and the head is the last piece of weight we want added to it If the head comes up ffrst we are likely to flip again onto the other side, or we may not be able to come up at all due to the extra weight We are now ready to leam our ffrst means of underwater escape, the openv/ater rescue. The open-water rescue entails rolling the boaiunder the water, pulling the grab handle, doing a forward zummersault out of the boat and swimming to the surface. This is a quick lesson. When you are upside down rmderwater and strapped into a kayak, your first irBtinct is to escape.

Once we are done with the rescue. time is qpent paddling back and forth a.crossthe pool in an efiort to get comfortable with dre boat and to make sure our paddles stay indexed. We also practice our paddling strokes and different ways of urrning the boat After develop ing a better understanding of paddling, we move on to our next lesson, the Trescue, A T-rescue involves using a partner's boat to help bring you out of the waler.

a considerable distance. This is the kayakels version of an SOS. Another boater pulls up to the stem of the overtrmed boat, so that the two crafs resemble a T. This allows the submerged person to grab on to the bow of the other boat and, with a hip snap, fling upright into a neutral position.

The T-rescue forces us to be r.mder the water longer than before and, while it is an easyrescue to perform, the added time spent under water is frightening.

Dwing my ffrst anempt, I freaked out and badly bruised my left leg while eying to squirm my way out of the boai The pain is manageable and the next Trescue is much easier. I am able !o relax better in the water and wait for the rescuing boat !o come to me.

Conquering gt" 1"6t sf lsing underwaler seems to be the key t,o enjoying kayaking.

The last nescueon the list is the Eskimo roll. A series of hand and paddle placements while above and under the water allow the kayaker to be in a key position for a ffnal hip thrust that will flip the boat over and launch them out of the water.

This is much easier said than done.

All of us fail at least twice, and only a few successfully execute this hicky maneuver. This will be a long lesson and it continues into the next week.

The bruise that formed on the inside of my left leg during my ffrst T-rescue has gotten worse and forces me from the boat during this next class.

While I am unable to master the Eskimo roll during this class, another class is scheduled for next week. I hope the bn ise will heal enough to allow me to finish. If I can leam the F,skimo roll I ri'ill' be able to kayak oubide the pool.

Cassidy reminds us that thesemaneuvers, while valuable, will not saveus from every situation we may face in the water.

Kayaken die every year. Faced witr the possibility of deat\ it is the fun and excitement of the sport that persuadesCassidy, along witJr other boa.ten, to launch into the water every year.

The Adicb have been around since 1976, long enough for two generations of fans to become hooked on their sound, Early on in their career, The Adicts adopted the look of "droogs" fiom the 1971 Stariley Kubrick ffIm "A Clockwork Orange."

Monkey, the self proclaimed "loker in the pack" will paint his hce !o look like something between a AWy Stardustera Bowie and theJoker from Batnan. He will wear anything from a sparkling, striped suit to a down costume, complete with magic eicks.

Monkey possessesthe kind of charisma usually found in cult leaden. He's the Jim Jones of punk rodq except he wouldn't force anvone to drink anv "Kool Aid." and the only brainwashing he does is making girls young enough to be his grandkids

The school's jaz program is flourishing and this year it's as good as it has ever been.

There are a lot of freshmen enrolled and the music being produced is phenomenal.

Metro Music Departnent chair Walter Barr is happy with whai's been done and said he seesplenty of potential for the funre.

"I think they really did some good music ,.. It's early in the semester, so they're pushing to get things happening, Ieaming to listen to eadr other and working on improvisation and the form of the songs and so forl-h," Barr said at the SepL 28 recital. *We have all different levels of players that are here tonight ... that s kind of the beauty of what's happening here," Barr said.

"It's a good start for them; they're really dc ing some good things and this program is great all the tirne."

Most Metro music fans are unaware of the talent that roams these hallowed ha]ls.

Recorded in Boston only four dals after 9/1, the album ffnds the perfomren and audience alike gripped by a collecfive unease.As Rollins alludes to fte tragedy during the band's intoduction, the reqponseof the audience reveals a need for lhe comfort of music. Even now, four years later, the listener is hard pressedto not remember his or her own shock and malaise in those unsure dny".

It is in its vivid recrealion of this sening that &e album hib ib maxk. This is Rollins facing, on his own terms, that feeling of fear and rmcertainty that gripped &e nafion.

This is Rollins atacking tragedy with all the musical gusto and verve that distinguishes him as a jazz 6x51a1, The song selection is almost philosophi cal and the performance is utter{y joyous.

In their interpretations of the standards like Youmans' 'Without a Song," and Hammerstein's "Why Was I Bom?," Rollins' sextet seb a tone appropriate to the seffing. These are songs whose very titles bemoan the indigniues and injustices of the world Yeg on this alburn, there is such exuberance, defiance and utter crearivejoy in every line that the performance seryes as a cathartic challenge to all the universe's injuries.

Rollirs' tenor saxophone has remained zuccinct and unsparing, despite his 8G plus years. Rollins' rift rip the standards apart with their purity and speed while his paraphrasing reveals a vast store of musical knowledge that encompasseseven the most remote corners of jazz. Still, Rollins' chops are not what they were when he was a yormger man, and he relies on Clifton Anderson's trombone and Stephen Scott's piano for breaks.

As supporting players, Clifton Andersoq Stephen Scou, Bob Cranshaw, Perry Wfuon and.I(imari Dnizulu hold their own nexr to Rollins. In this concert there seems to be a shared pulpose among the musicians: to play widr such fervor and passion that drey exorcise the fear that was almost palpable in the days after 9/fl.

In inhoducing the band, Rollins muses on the power of music. "Maybe music can help," he suggests."I don't knoq but we have to Fy something these days."

Rollins overw'helmingly succeedsin his efforts. Over four year after its recording, the performance on this album stjll does much to alleviate the unease and uncertaintv that continues to mark our lives.

By Keith Franklrrr tJi"anklT@mscd.edu The Metro men's soccer team showed their metde this weekend by wiruring three games at home in ffve days. They now have a season-highfive straight victories.

Metro's PaJ l,augttlin, Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference freshman preserunn Player-of-theYear, made a rnistake in leaving Morales alone in front of the goal.

Shoun Elboum follows fomily's soccer troditi6n

Jenna\lbodman

By JeremyJohnson 1john309@mscd.edu The Elbaum family knows a thing or two about soccer. Ask any of the ffve Elbaum men when they started playing and you will get the same answer: from & to 4years-old and on. In other words, from about the time they could nm.

The elder Elbaum, Gary, is a baker now and was a car mechanic for 35 years. Before that-in the 1960s and '70rhe was a semi?ro player for the Denver Kickers, an amaleur team based out of Golden. After that, Gary went on to play for the short-lived Colorado Canbous. He recendy retired from the game at the yonng age of 50.

Noq it's a new generation of Elbaums dominating Colorado soccer ffelds. Of the Elbaums' ffve sons-all of whom olaved soccer from a very young age-it's the iwo yormgest brothers who are leaving their cleatrnarks on grass and shins alike.

"Soccer is a family spor1" Christina, the frmily matriarch, said. "My husband played soccer and I thought that would keep them off the skeet and keep them busy, healthy and wholesome.'

It also keeps them in the limelighr Josh, 24. is a defensive back for the Colorado Rapids. The former Oregon Stale and Metro student showed up for open hyouts with the Rapids at the beginning of the season and the rest is Elbaum history.

"I did my best and caught the coach's eye,'Josh said. "I was one of three guys called back."

A naurral left midffelder, Josh quickly leamed the role of being on a professiona.l team. He now plays left frrllback.

Sharm, 21. is a litde taller than bis older brother, but the likeness between the two is rmdeniable. Both brothers are I-eos. Josh's birthday is on Aug. 19 and Shaun's is two dayr laler.

Shaun is a sophomore shrdent of anthro pology at Metro, and is arguably the most valuable player on the men's soccer team.

In facg Elbaum scored the winning goals in the 'Runners two games this past weekend. .

Shaun is quick to credit his whole family for his soccerprowess,butJosh may well be his biggest influence. "frosh) has been around ever since I can remember," Shaun said with a blush and a smile. "Us wo batded it out since we were little, playing everything from soccer to video g:rmesto cards."

Even when they're off the field, they still batde it out on the soccer ffeld, playing FIFA 2005 on their PlayStation 2.

'Growing up, we did everything from ping-pong to badminton to bowling," Josh said. "It's pretfy competitive and that's the way we like iL Any ilpe of activity or sport you just wanted to get your foot into the door and do the best."

That was hard to do for the younger Elbaums, who competed with three older brothers. But where the older brothers gave the game up after some yeru's,Josh and Sham have found great success.

"We're not pushing them to play,' Christina said. "I think the two youngest ones (fosh and Shaun) have, you know, a litde bit more of a heart for soccer."

They also have a heart for competition. When asked who is the beter soccer player, both made poinb in their own favor.

"I'd have to say myself," Shaun said with a

laugh. "He definitely works harder, but he's a defensive back. I put balls in the back of the net."

Josh, on the other hand, is still the pre fessional ihough he can see Shaun having a fuhrre in soccer, as well.

"It staft here,'Josh said in response to the possibility of another Flbaum going pro.

"I told him what he's got !o do in college.

He needs to make a name for himself.

"He's doing well and he has a nahral tendency, like most forwards do, to ffnd the goal,"Josh added.

Sharm is studying anthropology so that he might have ajob in forensicsand watches the popular "Forensic Files" on the Arb and Entertainment channel. That does not mean he has not considered other ootions.

"Obviously, I'd love to pliy soccerprofessionally and get paid to do what I love," Shaun said. At the rate he is going he may do just that.

"With this game not in the big scope of things," Parsons said, "Our focus needs !o be on next week and not putting ourselves in a situation where cards can hurt us becausewe pick up a silly one here."

On Tuesday, the Mebo coaches got a glimpse at their future when seldom seen faces replaced the starters.

Metro faced the bottom dweller in the conference, Colorado Christian University.

By Jeremy Johnson jjohn3)8@mscd.edu The Metro women's soccer team scored six goals in the second half to defeat No. 2l Texas A&M Commerce, 7-1 in non-conference action Friday aftemoon at Auraria Field.

The Lions accomplished something no other team has done this season.WhenJev sica Pierce headed in a goal ln the ninth minute of the game, it marked the first time the Roadrunnen had nailed in a game all season.It would not last long.

The 'Rurmen tied the score in the 186 minute when junior midffelder Kira Sharp bent a free kick around the Lions' goalie for the score. The score was 1-l at the half.

"Starting out we need to pick it up becawe we or y seem to have it in the second

half,' senior midffelder Jodi McGann said.

"We're a second-half team and we have more skill than that" Meto showed off the second half skills ttrat made them successfi.rlall season by coming out and scoring what would be the winning goal less than t}rree rninutes into the stanza.Junior forward Kylee Hanavan headed in the cross from McGann for her 10th goal of the seasonto give the 'Runners the permanent lead.

Six minutes later, the Lions' frustrafion started to show. 'Runners freshman defensive back tangled wiih Lions' senior forward Erin De Wolfe on a tackle and the result was a scufle that landed both bacla wlth yellow cards.

"I was happy with how Nicole (Cito) kept her composure," head coach Darmy

Sanchez said. "Sometimes other teams get frusbated a litde bit and it's important that you keep your composure."

Metro looked very composed from that point on, scoring ffve more goals in 21 minutes of play. Hanavan scored three more goals in the half-two of them unassistedand one coming off of an assistfrom Dominique Van Lieu.

"You don't want to seeone of your tearnmates get hit like thaf," Hanavan said. "Of course you're going to pick up your garne and be more aggressive."

The hat hick was Hanavan's second in as many games and her seven goals over those two games give her a team-high l3 goals on the season.

"None of our goals today were cheap at all," Hanavan said. "It's nice to have great

players that can feed you the ball like that" Freshman forw'ard Anne Ormrod scored her lOth goal of the seasonon a Shelly Radosevich assistand junior midffelder Amira Ebel finished ofl the game with a goal on a drop passfrom Katie Kilbey.

The 'Rururers improved to I 1{ on the season, while the Lions slipped to 54 for the year.

"We'll get a liule rest and dren we have two huge regional games on the road next week ' Sanchez said. "It's important that we refocus and get ready for that bip to Texas."
