Mark Schlachtenhaufen When UCO student Jennifer Scully parties with her friends at Tapwerks in Bricktown, her mind isn't just on having a good time. She's also aware that there are unseen potential dangers all around her. Scully goes out with friends three times a month. When she goes to Tapwerks, she takes precautions, such as being aware of what's happening around her and staying with a group for protection. She also parks in a secured garage and keeps her cell phone turned on. Sometimes, being aware isn't enough. April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Crime statistics show few rapes occur in Edmond. "A single rape is one too many," said Glynda Chu, spokeswoman for the Edmond Police Department. Those statistics are misleading, said Susan Stewart, director of Volunteer Services with the Oklahoma City chapter of the YWCA, an organization that supports women. For various reasons, many rapes go unreported, Stewart said. In 2002, four rapes were reported within a 0.75-mile radius of 100 N. University Avenue, according to Crime Tracker, a free interactive data-
base at NewsOK.com . They were in the 1200 block of N. Chowning, the 900 block of E. Wayne, the 900 block of N. Boulevard and the 1000 block of N. Kennedy. It is likely an untold number of additional UCO students were victims of rape or attempted rape, Stewart said. College students are in the age group most impacted by rape. A 1996 study showed one in 36 college women are victims of rape or attempted rape each year. One woman is sexually assaulted every two minutes in the United States, Stewart said. In Oklahoma, one rape occurs every six hours. "In Oklahoma county, we don't go 24 hours without a sexual assault," Stewart said. "Those are just the reported assaults." Stewart said about one in 10 sexual assaults are unreported. Fear of being identified by the media, guilt, being revictimized and a lack of peer support are some of the reasons why more victims don't report rapes, experts say. Chu said more women are reporting rapes now. Women are realizing they are the victims in a sexual assault, that rape is not their fault. Still, Many victims are

State Regents increase transferable college courses by Mark Schlachtenhaufen ms@thevistaonline.com State higher education officials have increased the number of transferable courses, an action that will benefit students wanting to attend different schools. The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education added 417 courses to those transferable among state colleges and universities, ultimately helping to increase the number of graduates, a state goal, said Chancellor Paul Risser. Risser said increasing the
number of transferable courses means some students will get to graduate sooner. Since 1995, the number of transferable courses has jumped from 1,594 to 5,343, a 235 percent increase. Last year, there were 4,926 transferable courses. The State Regents approved the additions during their April 3 meeting. State Regents' Chairman Carl Renfro said much progress has been made in this area during the past eight years.

Leona F. Evans, coordinator for Oklahoma Equal Rights Amendment, spoke to UCO students and faculty April 7 about the campaign to ratify the amendment in Oklahoma. "Women do not understand they only have one right under the Constitution," Evans said. That, she said, is the right to vote. "It's time for women to have equal rights under the Constitution," she said. The ERA was first introduced to Congress in 1923 but was not passed until 1972 when it was submitted to the states for ratification. A seven-year deadline was, set, but was later extended to 1982. When the deadline expired, only 35 states had ratified the amendment. Thirtyeight states were required to radfy the amendment before it could be added to the Constitution.
Currently, the amendment is still short three states, and Oklahoma is one of the 15 states that has not ratified the amendment. The amendment, Evans said, would guarantee equal protection under the law for men and women and would only pertain to state and federal laws and regulations. It would allow for the "elimination of discrimination," she said. "The ERA will not alter the balance of constitutional authority," she said, and "wage disparity would be eliminated." Evans said three pieces of legislation are currently in Congress but . ERA proponents are not facing "simple opposition." She said the amendment will probably end up in the Supreme Court. "It will take a lot of education in the legislature," she said. Some opponents argue that if the ERA is passed, women will face the possibility of being draft,
ed. But Evans said, "ERA has nothing to do with the drafting of women." Opponents also argue the ERA will lead to unisex restrooms, but Evans said unisex bathrooms already exist in a government building where she once worked. The UCO Association of Women's Studies sponsored the event and also set up a booth that same day in the Nigh University Center, where they passed out information on the ERA, said Geneva Murray, president of the Women's Studies Association. Murray said, "We're rather unsure what efforts can be done to get legislation passed." The association is working with Evans, but Murray said, "We don't want to do anything to hinder her efforts." Murray said students can become involved and show their support.

Student Symposium set, NASA official to speak by Thad Danner td@thevistaonline.com The annual College of Liberal Arts and the College of Arts, Media and Design Student Symposium will run throughout the day April 16 and will feature keynote speaker J. Milton Heflin at 5 p.m. in Pegasus Theater. Heflin, the Chief of the NASA Flight Director Office at the Johnson Space Center will be speaking on the loss of the shuttle Columbia and crew. The symposium will features
continuous musical performances, art demonstrations, presentations, panel discussions, dramatic readings and debates. Clayton Moore, one of the student presenters, said he is, "excited about the chance to present as an undergraduate." The theme of this year's symposium is 'Ad Astra Per Aspera" or "to the stars through difficulty ,,. Though it reads like a response to the loss of the shuttle Columbia, Dr. Rosa J. Bird, Symposium Committee Chair,
said the theme was chosen last December, before the loss of the shuttle. Heflin agreed to speak after the loss of the shuttle. All classes in the College of Liberal Arts and the College of Arts, Media and Design will be preempted for the symposium. "It's a great opportunity for students to share their work and be exposed to a variety of presentations," Dr. Bird said. Dr. Bird estimates last year's attendance at over 1000, based on the number of programs handed out.

More transferable courses, more options for students
Cartoon by Chris Maupin
Surrounded by Misguided Individuals by Danny Peters
I don't watch the war on TV. And I don't read about it in the newspapers. It's depressing, it's boring and I have better ways to fill up my entertainment time. But the main reason I don't pay attention to it is that I don't believe what I hear from our president, our government or our media. They all lie and everyone knows it. So it baffles me that people stay glued to the TV during these things. I like to be informed, but I don't like to be misinformed. So I read and listen to music instead. Speaking of music, how about all this wonderful "punk rock" we have these days? Man, let me tell you, Blink 182 is a true punk rock band. They even have tattoos! And Sum 41 must be punk because their hair is spiked up. I'm going to burst this little bubble that a lot of you have:
These bands are not punk. They are fake, terrible pop bands. Any jackass can buy some hair gel and sneer at people. That doesn't make you punk. Punk rock doesn't really have any standards, ideals or rules. But still, any real punk will tell you how much bands like Simple Plan and Good Charlotte blow. And the answer: A lot. These are a bunch of wimpy kids playing watered-down Green Day. They buy their clothes at a boutique in the mall and they would get hurt if they ever ran into any real punks. I call these people "mall punks" because they and their kind are the types that buy their rebellion at the mall. The mall is good for some things. Rebellion is definitely not one of them. The reason these fools are on the radio and MTV is because they're safe, and more important-
On The Other Hand by Audrey Dodger Our good friend Anonymous tells us "True friendship starts the moment one person says to another, 'What? You too? I thought I was the only one!'" I've been thinking about friendship a lot lately, what it means, and how to enjoy it. Cicero said of friendship, "Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief." I came across the following quote, and while I don't know who said it, I find that it perfectly sums up the different ways we approach our friends. "Friends are like television. Some are like PBS and always asking for money. Others are like the news, with sad tales to tell
everyday; some are like that one station with the foreign language; you don't understand a word of it, but you listen and watch anyway. And then there are the ones like the commercials, always changes, ever-so-annoying and only seem to be there when you are bored. But every once and a while you meet someone who's like a really good movie of the week or that one TV show you hardly ever get to see anymore because you're so busy. My point is, hold on to the friends you care about and since we don't have a remote control to mute someone or just change the channel, pick your friends carefully." Sometimes we find friends in the unlikeliest of places. I recent-
The Oklahoma State Regents of Higher Education recently made it easier for students to transfer between public colleges and universities. Every year the Course Equivalency Project (CEP), cornprised of public and private faculty, convenes to evaluate courses in all fields of study to determine if Course "A" is equivalent to course "B" if and only if "A" satisfies all requirements that course "B" satisfies. This year it added 417 courses that can transfer between both 2 and 4-year colleges or universities. Since 1995, the number of transferable courses has risen 235 percent - from 1,594 courses to 5,343. This increase in the available course transfers makes a student's switch smoother. It saves students money and shortens graduation time because they will not have to
ly, they're cute. Their image sells their crappy music. And all the while they don't even know who the Ramones or the Sex Pistols are. And yes, that does matter Avril Lavigne. The only decent music being made commercially these days is some hip-hop and that's because the white corporate businessman hasn't taken it over yet. But for those of us who prefer a more traditional music (people playing real instruments), there's not much going on in the mainstream. The modern music industry is complete crap. And the reason is that businessmen run the music companies. Back in the day, music fans started record companies. Music fans signed bands. Music fans ran the business. But somewhere along the way, they ceded control over to yuppies in suits who only worry about the bottom line. That's why we got Disco, Debbie Gibson, N Sync and now all these mall punks. Does anyone remember when/ you could hear good music Ong
the radio? I don't. I wasn't born until 1977 and by then Disco was the thing. Now the only radio station I listen to is KOMA because that's the only one that plays good music. The KATT plays rap metal (whatever happened to them being a longhaired biker type station?) and the Buzz plays too much emo and bad indie rock. And by the way, emo is steaming excrement too. "My girlfriend left me. I want to cry. Listen to this terrible song." Shut up pansy. If you want to be sensitive, go write some poetry. The only other decent station is that 107 classic rock station, but I can only take so much Journey and Fleetwood Mac before I have to pop in a CD. And nine times out of 10, that CD is music from the 60s. Garage, surf, jazz, rhythm and blues, ska, rocksteady, reggae, soul, Bob Dylan and Frank Zappa. And that stuff beats mall punks and lying warmongers any day.
ly discovered that the people I ignored in high school are some of the nicest, most pleasant people I know in college. I used to think that my friends were the people I hung out with on the weekends, or the kids I went to church with. They were the people who went with me to the movies, out to eat, skating and bowling - all typical things kids do. As I've grown, I've discovered that while I still do many of those things with my friends, what makes them my friends is that they've made an impact on my life. They've touched my heart and helped me become a better person. True friends won't make you change yourself, but they'll be there when inevitable change comes. My friends are the people with whom I can sit on my back porch, watching the sun fade into the dusk, without speaking a
word, and know that they are feeling everything I am. In fact, Dave Tyson Gentry says, "True friendship comes when silence between two people is comfortable." As the semester draws to a close, I find myself reflecting on the way my friends have affected me. Several of them are graduating, moving on to bigger and better things than college life. I think maybe Carole King said it best. "Now and forever, you're a part of me. Now and forever, I will always think of you." I will always be grateful for the friends I have here. Yes, I'm sad they are leaving, but sadder still is that there are those in this world who have never known true friendship. All that is left to say can be said in the words of the wise Winnie the Pooh, "We will be friends until forever, just you wait and see." '

re-take the same classes simply because a credit did not transfer. It will also increase the number of college graduates in the state and provide Oklahoma with more qualified workers for highend jobs. The problem with more qualified workers in a state with a poor economy is that many of the graduates leave the state to find higher paying jobs. But with more graduates, there is an increased chance of convincing major corporations to operate out of Oklahoma. This increase provides UCO with a unique opportunity to educate the future leaders of Oklahoma. In five years, 435 students - 47 of those from private universities - transferred to UCO. With the continuing increase in transferable courses, maybe students will look toward Edmond to complete their degree.

Regents discuss Wantland Stadium renovation plan by Thad Danner td@ thevistaon line. com The Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges met in Durant, Okla. April 4 and discussed UCO's plans for renovating Wantland Stadium. The board permitted UCO to start soliciting plans for stadium renovations and approved a $1.9 million contract with United Golf to start laying new turf. Charles Johnson, UCO News Bureau director, said the design phase, "will take months to choose a firm and then to develop the plans." Dr. Bette Leone, Executive Director for the Board of Regents for Oklahoma Colleges, said that al-though the board has approved the process of soliciting designs, "Any time they make adjustment in the campus master plan they need approval of the State Regents for Higher Education." The Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges oversees UCO and the regional college system. In turn, they submit to the
State Board of Regents of Higher Education, whose jurisdiction extends over all the universities in the state system. Steve Kreidler, UCO vice president of Administration and Finance, said that the State
Regents, "deal with the fee increase. We had sent to them last October a list of all fee increases. We still had to get student permission." UCO President Roger Webb said, "We decided that we would increase the rates whenever the referendum passed. We know we'll use some of it for these improvements [the new turf lights and scoreboard]. MLS will be a major factor in determining how far we will go with the designs." Despite the larger size of some of the other cities in the MLS list of possible new franchise locations, President Webb said he likes Edmond's odds. "I don't think that the fact that we're a small market will hurt. What counts is the enthusiasm," Webb said. He said the enthusiasm is helped by the fact that MLS, if it comes, will be one of few professional sports franchises in Oklahoma. "[It will be] a team for the whole state, he said.

Students living in campus housing, such as Murdaugh Hall, will see a rate increase beginning in the fall.
Officials greenlight housing rate hike by Thad Danner td@thevistaonline.com The Board of Regents of Oklahoma Colleges approved the annual rate increases for university housing April 4 at an meeting in Durant, Okla. Thomas Hulm, director of Housing for UCO, said, "This board makes the final decision on that [rates for housing]." The rate increases will be implemented in the fall 2003 semester.
The increases will be as follows: Murdaugh Hall and West Hall costs will increase by 17%, University Suites and University Commons will increase by 8% and Bronchos 1-4 (formerly Married Student Housing) will go up 10%. According to Hulm, these numbers change based on the Housing Department's expecta-
tions of what will be needed to operate the buildings. Changes in Edmond real estate values and what University housing rates are at OU and OSU are other factors In computing increases. The new rate changes match last year's increases, with the exception of the University Suites, which was in its first year of operation.

Student loan distributions subject to two payments due to bill expiration by Robert T. Crauthers Student Writer A 1997 provision to the Higher Education Act of 1965 expired, causing the federal guideline change of single-semester loan distributions. The Federal Student Aid unit for the U.S. Department of
Education said the provision expired Sept. 30, 2002. Therefore, loans certified on or after Oct. 1, 2002 are subject to two payments rather than one. Sheila Fugett, director of the UCO Office of Student Financial Aid, said the one-time payment arrangement had a fiveyear duration. It gave schools with low default rates the choice
to issue one-term loans in one payment instead of two. Schools must have more than 90 percent of the borrowers who go into repayment status pay or postpone their loans to have a low default rate, she said. Fugett said notifying the students of the debt-management process at UCO has been the key to low default rates.
Look what OU intersession has to offer during May if. August
Jeffrey R. Andrade, deputy assistant secretary for the Office of Postsecondary Education, said recent attempts to extend the provision were unsuccessful. It is also unclear whether the legislation to do so will be enacted, he said. Fugett said,"Schools rallied to have it reinstated, but lawmakers chose not to do so."

"Fences" showcases black actors by Summer Pratt sp@thevistaonline.com Tony Maxon, a former star of the Negro baseball league, is working as a garbage man in 1957, and sees himself and his family shut in by society's metaphorical fences. The UCO Department of Theatre, Dance and Media Arts will present its production of the Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize winning play, "Fences," by August Wilson, at 8 p.m. April 10 through 12 and 2 p.m. April 13 at Mitchell Hall Theatre. "Fences" tells the story of Maxon's bitterness at never being allowed to play in the major leagues because he was black. His anger at society threatens to prevent his son from pursuing professional sports. Maxon doesn't realize that he is the one fencing in his family and not society. Jerome Stevenson, artistic director of the Pollard Theatre in Guthrie, is the guest director for this production. Stevenson said he always wanted the chance to direct "Fences" because Wilson's works are "poetic, while maintaining a grassroots feel."

Krystian Hamilton, senior theatre arts major, plays Maxon's wife and said she has enjoyed working with Stevenson.

"I love the director. He pretty much lets us do whatever we want. We're free to go in any direction," she said. Dr. Roberta Sloan, chairperson of the Theatre Department, said this production is a landmark for the department because it will be the first time the department has produced a play with an all black cast. "'Fences' is a terrific opportunity for us, and I hope this starts a tradition of doing multi-cultural plays at UCO," she said. This production stars UCO theatre students Michael Fruga as Tony Maxon, Jeff Johnson as Jim Bono, Krystian Hamilton as Rose and Jeramie Onyejiaka as Lyons.

Awareness, from page 1 unwilling to come forward, Chu said. Stewart said most rapists know their victims. Less than four percent of rapes are committed by strangers. Serious secondary injuries usually occur when a victim is raped by someone they do not know, she said. "I think one of the big myths that people still have is that the majority of rapes are by the `Boogie Man' who jumps out of the bushes," Stewart said. "The truth is, over 80 percent of all rapes are committed by somebody the victim knows." More than 50 percent of acquaintance rapes involve alcohol, which impairs thinking and memory, making those rape cases difficult to prosecute, Stewart said. Studies also show rapists will continue to rape until they are caught, she said. Scully said, "The person you didn't report is probably the person that's going to 'jump' your best friend." Stewart said rape is not about sex; the victim is not to blame. Rape is about control and power, she said. "In trying to examine the situation and get control back from the moment where all control was lost, a victim's going to think, 'What could I have done differently?' And that's blaming yourself," Stewart said. Not reporting a sexual assault allows a rapist to keep controlling the victim, Stewart said. The number of rapes will not decrease until more victims come forward. Then people will know how critical an issue rape is, she said. Sooner or later, victims have to confront the psychological

affects of sexual assault, Stewart said. Some victims have come in seeking counseling assistance from the YWCA 15-20 years after they were raped, Stewart said. They arrive at a point in their life where they cannot discount the issue any longer. "Reporting it is a way to start taking control back," Stewart said. "It might not seem like it. But it is." The YWCA and Edmond Police Department have a system in place that keeps women from being revictimized, Chu said. Edmond police officers receive specialized training and victims are treated with respect and care, she said. Evidence collected from rape victims helps convict rapists, Chu said. Before doing anything, before taking a shower, call the YWCA or the police, she said. Taking a shower can destroy potentially valuable evidence. Evidence can be collected for up to 72 hours following a sexual assault, Stewart said. Victims are not kept overnight unless they have serious secondary injuries, such as those associated with stranger rape. Providing a victim cooperates with police, there is no bill for the exam, which is paid by the victim's compensation fund, supported by court-levied assessments, Stewart said. Counseling services are also available. Stewart offered these safety tips: ♦ Go with a group of friends. ♦ Have a communication plan. ♦ Park in a lighted area. • Walk in lighted areas. ♦ Be aware of what's happening at all times.
• Always get your own drinks. Don't let somebody whom you just met buy you a drink — and always keep it with you. ♦ Cautiously accept a ride home from people you don't know. ♦ If you are being assaulted do what you need to do to survive, then call 911 immediately. Men have a responsibility in dating situations, Stewart said. They should have a good time with their date and not focus on sexual 'payback,' she said. State law states that someone legally drunk is incapable of having consensual sex. "I think what men could do is know that 'No' means 'No,' to respect your partner," she said. Whether a victim goes to a hospital or calls 911, by law, police will be notified, Stewart said. The police call the YWCA hotline (943-7273). Then a YWCA advocate shows up at the hospital with fresh clothes. The advocate remains with a victim during the examination; friends are not allowed in the room, Stewart said. "The advocate is there strictly for the victim," she said. "They could care less about the circumstances. They're focused on providing support for the victim." A highly-trained nurse then collects forensic evidence. The nurse and the YWCA advocate tell the victim about available services, such as counseling. The YWCA also provides a one-year follow-up exam period. In 2002, the Oklahoma City chapter of the YWCA assisted more than 1,100 female victims of sexual assault, Stewart said. Since 1974, the local organization has helped 250,000 women and children.
which she said she hopes to have made for the next time a booth is set up this semester. Another way to get involved, she said, is to contact her association. Murray said many students are interested in a march on the
capitol, but she is uncertain if that will be planned. "It all depends on what the political climate is." Evans said, "Men haVe it, woman want it. What's mbre:fair than that?"
presented an action plan aimed at reducing obstacles faced by students wanting to transfer within the state system of higher education. Since implementation of the plan, detailed in a 1997 report, faculty members representing the state system and several independent institutions meet each fall to update curricula and establish
new course equivalencies, which are then reviewed and approved by various academic groups. The State Regents accept the course equivalency reports at the beginning of each year and distribute the information to the colleges and universities in the spring. "The faculty members who worked closely on this endeavor during the last year are to be commended for their dedication and commitment to making students' college careers more successful and for their focus on meeting the state's goal of producing more college graduates," Risser said. The Course Equivalency Project gained national recognition in 1997 when it was featured in article published in "Campus and University." Information on transferable courses within the state system is available on higher education's website at okhighered.org under the link "Student Center," or by calling the transfer hotline number: 1-800-583-5883.

Bronchos complete sweep UCO displays talent in Edmond by Ryan Jameson rj@thevistaonline.com The No. 5-ranked UCO baseball team completed a three-game sweep of Division II opponent Northeastern State winning 6-5 Sunday, April 6. The NSU Redmen led 2-0 through three innings, until UCO finally got on the scoreboard in the top of the fourth off a John Rogers solo home run. The Bronchos took a 4-2 lead in the fifth as Jake Mays had an RBI single and Rogers a two-run single, then made it 5-2 in the sixth on Barrett Whitney's runscoring single. Northeastern scored a run in its half of the sixth to pull within 5-3, with UCO stretching its lead to 63 in the top of the seventh on a sacrifice fly from Blake Deen. NSU closed the game to one in the bottom of the seventh, pushing across two runs to get within 6-5 before reliever Josh Hilburn was able to get UCO out of a bases-loaded jam. Kyle Nevels went 6 and 1/3 innings to pick up the win. Reliever Ray Wood put the Redmen down in order to record his fifth save. John Rogers went 3-for-5 with

Barrett Whitney connected twice against NSU Sunday. 3 RBI's to lead UCO. Whitney and Mike Hill each had a pair of hits as a part of the Bronchos 10hit game.
The Bronchos, who beat NSU 5-2 and 5-1 on Saturday, are 28-7 overall and 8-2 in the Lone Star Conference North Division.
The Bronchos varsity golf team tied Cameron for second place both with final twoday scores of 877 in the UCO/Kickingbird Classic in Edmond Tuesday. With two Central Oklahoma teams in the tournament, the varsity team and the "B" team competed against each other. The "B" looked a tad bit better on Monday as they finished fourth ahead of the varsity team by two places and two strokes. "That just shows that there's not much difference in our top 10 players and that we've got a lot of depth, which is a good problem to have," said head coach Dax Johnston. The starting UCO golfers came out Tuesday moving up four places to share the No. 2 spot with Cameron as Abilene Christian University won the tournament with a final 867 score. The "B" team came out eighth for the tournament. The first-team's Donnie Martin finished sixth (72-74-71) in the tournament, Chance Cruson at ninth (71-73-74) and Steven Rist came in at 11th (70-73-76) in overall individual scores. Seventeen teams competed during the twoday event on the 6,731-yard, par-70 Kickingbird Golf Course.
The UCO softball team had a breakthrough season in 2002 staking their claim as a Lone Star Conference and NCAA Division II powerhouse. Returning six starters in 2003 from a team that previously went 35-16 and made its first-ever appearance in the NCAA Division II National Tournament, the sky was the limit. Unfortunately, 2003 has been dismal for the Broncho women, currently at 11-18 on the season but with a hopeful 5-3 record in the Lone Star Conference North Division. The one consistent thing for UCO has been the play of catcher April Ferrall. A three-year starter, who will most likely end up with all major UCO softball individual records, Ferrall hit .417 in 2002 with 12 home runs to lead the Lone Star
runs (23), hits (29), doubles (6), triples (2), home runs(6), total bases (57), and slugging percentage (.663). If the UCO Broncho softball team can somehow make a comeback this season and get into the playoff, it will most likely be from the play of a softball superstar, April Ferrall.

April Ferrall Conference. , She ,was a first-team All-South Central Regional pick and was a first-team All-LSC North Divison selection. Most recently, Ferrall became the all-time home run leader for UCO when she hit her 24th career home run against Southwestern, surpassing Chasidy Horton. The home run was more important as it gave UCO a tiebreaking, 4-3 win. In 2003, she continues leading UCO in batting average (.337), 1 •

by Brad Frizell bf@thevistaonline.com It turned out to be a cold and windy Tuesday as Central Oklahoma softball split a doubleheader with a 3-1 loss and an 11-3 come-back against the East Central Tigers. In game one, the Bronchos took an early lead as April Ferrall ran home off of a single from Jordan Wheeler. The game remained at 1-0 until the top of the sixth when the Tigers scored one run off two hits.

In the bottom of the seventh, the Bronchos tried to push for the lead but couldn't quite get it done. In the top of the eighth the Tigers hit two runs for the win. The second game was totally in the hands of the Bronchos as they over-powered the Tigers 11-1. Lyndsey Miller had great day at bat with four hits and three RBI's. Taking the win for Bronchos was Cody Morrell, who had terrific pitching game giving up no runs. The only break in UCO's defense allowed the Tigers three scores late in the fifth.
