UCO students cheer the Bronchos to victory during the home opener against Mesa State Sept. 6.
Bronchos rout Mesa State 42-16 in Wantland win by Caroline Duke Copy Editor About 6,500 fans filled the stands of Wantland Stadium Saturday to witness the first Bioncho football game of the sason. It was one of the largest aowds in remit years. 'A an has been turned for UCO football," said President W Roger Webb of the aowd. "rm absolutely elated with the spirit and combustible enthusiasm," President Webb said 'It erupted about two hours before game time." Carr attendant Billy Sturnbaugh said he estimated the crowd at halftime was larger than the turnout at past Homecoming games. He said he ecects the inaeased attendance to continue through the season.
President of the Old Blue Crew, Simi Rasmussen, said, 'There were a ton of students there, and everyone was fired up." She said the university is now mote committed to chang;ing its image than ever before. 'The school is just so much more on fire than it has ever been," Rasmussen said. Mile Anderson, a 2002 graduate was one of three founding membets of the Old Blue Crew in 1998. He said the changes at UCO are what attracted people to the first game The new field, coach and overall atmosphere have changed, he said He said he regulady =ends games, even since he graduated, and he had not seen a awed so large in the past few years. Manager of the UCO Bookstore
Brenda Raimondi said she has seen an increase in merchandise sales, especially with new logo items. At the bookstore's booth Saturday, sales picked up an hour before the game at the clap- parry, she saki J.P. Jordan, history education senior and former UOOSA president, said Satuiday's aowd was the biggest he had wren since his fieshmanyearwhen the Bronchos won eon'There is already a lot of hype," Jordan said Underlordan's tmure as UCOSA piesident in 2102, students passed a student fa itity fee allowing Wantiand Stadium renovations. The new stadium allows for a 16,000person capacity. "It has to be an experience to get people to come out to games like this,"
Webb said Blake Fry, director of Campus Life and Student Activities, said image isn't the only factor in attracting more people. The renovations of the stadium and several other projects on campus are contributing to the university's changed image, he said. "These changes have been happening for several years," Fry said. "I think the university is just really letting everybody know...it's a very appropriate and a very accurate portrayal of what's going on," Fry said.

New chair, student fees bring change to art department by Sherrod Wall Staff Writer Dr. Joe Daun, the new chair of the Art Department, said he is set on instituting a change within the department. Before joining UCO faculty in August, Daun last taught at Kentucky's Georgetown College. He said that he is working with the administration to quickly address issues that need attention in the department. "I think that it is good that he wants to concentrate on improving the art department because there are many things that can be improved upon," said Bob Brothers, a junior art major. Daun said he has plans to improve the department's art studios by aquiring new equipment. "The studios are already cleaner and more orderly than they were. New equipment and other changes will be implemented as funds allow," Daun said.
Resources for enhancing the art department are readily available this year because of new student fees, Daun said. These two fees are the $30 class fee and $40 studio equipment fee. Daun said the fees go directly back to the students in the form of materials and safe work areas. "The department needs help with building its infrastructures so that the teachers can concentrate on teaching," he said. He said an environment conducive for learning and teaching is important, especially at UCO, where 70 percent of Oklahoma art teachers are taught. "I feel that it is of the utmost importance to set up an environment in which the student feels secure enough to express themselves," Daun said. Skill building is important for the student, he said. "Teach the student to explore and accept new ideas and processes, but temper this approach with the understand-
ing that the student must be responsible and develop a belief system," he said. Daun said he is excited about working in the department because of its collaboration with other organizations connected to the College of Arts, Media and Design, such as the Ja77. Lab. "It's exciting to be involved with the reorganization of Arts, Media and Design because there is a lot of positive energy and the opportunity to do crossdisciplinary teaching," he said. An artist himself, Daun has produced over 25 exhibitions in different cities across the country. He said each of his installations conveys metaphors concerning the conflict and confusion of life. "My work deals with how we glean the information we possess," Daun said. "I am trying to explore the roots of our beliefs, the rituals that give our lives meaning." Daun's exhibitions allow viewer participation to create a more personal
experience. For example, in his installation entitled "Water Rises to its Own Level," participants sit at a restaurant style booth and drink bitter coffee from a white coffee cup. When they are finished with the coffee, the participant sets their cup on a conveyer belt, which is built on top of a filled bookcase. The cup then travels down the conveyer belt to the edge of the bookshelf and falls to the floor, shattering atop a pile of already broken cups. "Spectacle or the interaction of the viewer and the work is also a central theme in the work," Daun said. "I am trying to address functionality, the way things work, and hope that I am doing this in a way that makes these ideas accessible to a large audience," he said. Daun said he is currently trying to set up a darkroom in his new home, and he hopes to build a studio this summer so that he can begin constructing some new large-scale installations.

Box office breakdown By ANTHONY BREZNICAN AP Entertainment Writer LOS ANGELES (AP) — The band of grown-up kiddie actors in "Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star" beat back the bloodthirsty bat-creature of "Jeepers Creepers 2" at the weekend box office. "Dickie Roberts," a comedy starring David Spade as a downon-his-luck former child star, debuted at No. 1 with $7 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. The film appealed to family audiences, according to distributor Paramount Pictures, because it lacked gross-out gags and had an uplifting story about reclaiming the former star's lost childhood. Still, it earned less in its opening weekend than Spade's trailer-trash comedy "Joe Dirt," which debuted in April 2001 with $8 million.
"He was more successful (costarring) with the late Chris Farley," said Brandon Gray, proprietor of movie tracker BoxOfficeMojo.com . "I mean $7 million in this day and age is a pretty mediocre opening at best, but they can brag about being No. 1 and it could have been a lot worse." Last week's top film, "Jeepers Creepers 2," about a flying beast that feeds on a group of stranded teenagers, was nudged into second place, earning $6.7 million for the weekend. The movie offerings generally attracted little interest, however, following the end of summer and the start to school for many children. Overall ticket sales of $50.4 million were down more than 14 percent from last year, when "Swimfan" topped the box office. "It was a pretty typical postLabor Day weekend: nothing spectacular, nothing too terrible," said Paul Dergarabedian,
president of box office tracker Exhibitor Relations Co. He said the $7 million collected by "Dickie Roberts" doesn't compare to the $40 million to $70 million debuts of summer blockbusters, pointing out that this kicks off the downtime between summer extravaganzas and the next popular moviegoing season, the holiday weeks full of would-be Oscar-contenders. "The Order," a supernatural thriller starring Heath Ledger as a priest searching for a man who absorbs the sins of other people, debuted weakly in sixth place with $4.3 million. The film was the subject of squabbling between its makers and studio and was dumped into theaters without screening for critics. Meanwhile, "American Wedding" became the 20th film released in 2003 to cross the $100 million mark. "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black
Pearl"saw its cumulative total surge to $282.1 million, edging "The Matrix Reloaded" for the second-highest grossing film of the year. "Finding Nemo" is No. 1 with $333.9 million. Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at North American theaters, according to Exhibitor Relations Co. Inc. Final figures will be released Monday.
1. "Dicicie Roberts: Former Child Star," $7 million. 2. "Jeepers Creepers 2," $6.7 million. 3. "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl," $5.5 million. 4. "Freaky Friday,"$5.1 million. 5. "S.W.A.T.," $4.6 million. 6. "The Order," $4.3 million. 7. "Open Range," $4 million.
8. "Seabiscuit," $3.7 million. 9. "Freddy vs. Jason," $3.2 million. 10. "Uptown Girls," $2.4 million.
Dear Lisa, I have this deep admiration for a male co-worker of mine and he has confirmed that the attraction is mutual. We have known each other at work for almost two years now We share the same interests and hobbies, and we have such good chemistry, its like a match made in heaven. We've had regular weekly coffee breaks after work but never went on "official" dates. He has told me recently that he would like to develop our friendship, but I've rejected his suggestion because he is currently in a relationship with a girl he met a few months after having known me at work. I have asked him why didn't he think of developing our friendship while he was still single and available back then, and he answered "he would only say he wasn't sure I was such a nice girl." He keeps doing these sweet things for me that really touch my heart but I can't figure things out by myself Is he really interested in progressing further with me? What about his girlfriend? They have even gone off on a weekend vacation now How should I react upon his return? I'm feeling jealous right now? Should I let him know I'm unhappy or just pretend I've felt nothing at all? Should I consider developing our friendship while he continues to progress with his girlfriend? What should I do? I think I'm already falling for this guy. Please help me. Office Romantic Dear Office, Man, guys like this just tick me of Hmm. You're interested in a guy who has a girlfriend and he wasn't sure that you were a nice girl. My guess is, he's betting that you're not a nice girl, and he's trying to call in his chips. Clearly you have deep feelings for him, but let me tell you, all the signs for heartbreak city are pointing in his direction. Let's review the facts: He has a girlfriend. He not actually dating you. He doesn't think very highly of you. From my vantage point, this guy is only interested in having a ffing with you. As in, you in addition to his girlfriend. If he really cared about you, or wanted to be with you, he would end his other relationship before he tried to start something with you. You, being of sound mind, are going to turn in the other direction and run. If I could be there in person, I swear I'd tie your shoes. Stand up for yourself, girl! You don't need to date anybody who is dating somebody else. Would you take a plate of Oreos after somebody had already licked off all the frosting? I don't think so. Nobody deserves to be stuck with somebody else's leftovers, and that's just what he's offering you — used cookies. Get it in your head that you are one fabulous woman and any man who wants to date you has to treat you with respect. Then, don't settle for anything less. There's one more thing I want you to think about: A guy who cheats on his girl with you will more than likely cheat on you with somebody else. As for feeling jealous about his trips with his girlfriend — well, I know it hurts darlin', but you've just got to pull yourself together. He's somebody else's boyfriend, despite how he's acting. As for how you should act, you need to put on the face of someone who's not particularly interested in the goings-on of somebody else's love life. Now that we've seen this cruddy little deal from your perspective, let's also try to remember that it's never a good idea to stab another woman in the back by dating her boyfriend. We girls have got to stick together. If we all went around treating each other like crap, we'd end up with nobody left for girl talk and shoe shopping. You deserve better sweetie, find somebody who is. Kisses,

Forums study survey of students by Rick Russick Staff Writer
instructors to decide," Epstein said. "The student evaluation instrument should ask students for their evaluation questions regarding their opinions, not questions regarding matters of fact," he said. LaGrow said she hopes that there are no misconceptions about the task force or the proposed survey. She said the proposed survey is representative of the entire university and a very well put-together task force. "We are very open to the ideas of faculty and students," she said. "The task force has no agenda and has never had an agenda in the past." This summer, LaGrow said, the taskforce gave students a pilot survey. Students were encouraged to make any suggestions and revisions they thought necessary. All forum participants were asked by the task force to give suggestions and revisions as well. "I don't know of a way that the task force could become any more transparent," said LaGrow. Epstein mentioned other concerns with the survey. He said that some of the questions ask for very limited answers that only give yesor-no or often/sometimes/rarely answer options. "The problem with yes-or-no is that it requires the student to make an absolute 100-percent or 0-percent answer about something that may have occurred only 50 percent of the time," Epstein said. "They need to let students evaluate their experience, to leave man, agernent ,,issues 1 to , some other process, and, to generate an evaluation instrument that has been appropriately tested and evaluated," he said. About 30 UCO faculty members and department heads attended each of the open forums held throughout this week across campus. The task force members are Dr. Donna Carlon, assistant professor in general business; Dr. Troy Baird, biology professor; Patricia Loughlin, history and geography lecturer; Dr. Jere Roberson, history and geography professor; Dr. Pamela Washington, assistant dean, English professor, and Dean's Council member; and J.P. Jordan, former UCO Student Association president. Karen Henderson of the Office of Assessment and Sandra BurIcey, assistant director of Technical User Services and Information Technology are the two consultants to the task force. The statisticians are assistant professors of Mathematics and
The end-of-semester student survey should focus more onthe needs of students, said some faculty members at a series of campus-wide forums Sept. 2 through 5. "This survey looks like it came from a committee only concerned with management issues," said Dr. Robert Epstein, general business professor, at the Sept. 2 forum. "These questions should be more scripted toward the students needs," he said. Concerns about the survey were brought to Dr. Don Betz, provost and vice president for Academic Affairs. Dr. William Radke, associate vice president of Academic Affairs, said the main reason UCO developed its own version of the survey is because the university wanted to direct the survey toward the needs of the faculty and of the students. The student survey, called the "Student Perception of instructional Effectiveness," is a collection of questions created by a six-facultymember task force that works closely with two consultants and two statisticians from the business department. The task force is headed by Dr. Patricia LaGrow, assistant vice president for Academic Affairs, and is responsible for developing the survey and finding new ways to process the information. The survey is part of a nationwide effort by colleges and universities who take pride in bettering their students and educational processes. UCO's version of this survey was taken from a larger student survey created by the National Survey of Student Engagement and the American Association for Higher Education. The NSSE is a consortium of over 400 colleges and universities across the United States. The survey was based on the "Seven Principles for Good Practices in Undergraduate Education," a list of objectives thought by some to be critical in a classroom environment. Epstein said that he isn't criticizing the task force for their efforts. The proposed survey is an excellent tool, he said. Epstein said the "Seven Principles" seem more steered toward classroom management than anything else. "The evaluation instrument should not say what exactly should be done. That is a management issue and should be left to the chairs or ,
Statistics, Sandra Leonard and Dr. Cynthia Murray. Radke said the forums began last fall in the office of Academic Affairs. The old process of gathering information had not been reviewed in about 10-15 years and the computer system was taking too long to process the information, he said. "The committee needs to focus on the goals of letting instructors approach the teaching process in a variety of ways that fit the course,"
Epstein said. The "Seven Principles" were developed by the AAHE, the Education Commission of the States and the Johnson Foundation, a non-profit foundation based in Colorado. The NSSE administration is a joint effort by the Indiana University Center for Postsecondary Research and Planning and the Indiana University Center for Survey Research. The studies are performed through the Documenting Effective Educational Practices project. Project DEEP and NSSE are supported by Lumina Foundation for Education, an independent foundation based in Indianapolis, and The Pew Charitable Trusts based in Philadelphia. The NSSE is co-sponsored by The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and the Pew Forum on Undergraduate Learning, based in Philadelphia and Washington, D.C.

After soundly thrashing Mesa State in the home opener, the Bronchos, in their first game under head coach Chuck Langston, look to carry their explosive momentum through the season.

Wantland Stadium is decorated in bronze and blue for the first game.
by Micah D. Gamino Sports Writer The Chuck Langston era begins with a bang as the Central Oklahoma Bronchos dominate the Mesa State Mavericks 42-16 in their season opener Saturday at Wantland Stadium. An estimated crowd of 6,527 got their first glimpse of the new artificial grass playing surface, uniforms, and scoreboard on a beautiful sunny day with temperatures in the upper 80s' and very little wind. UCO wasted no time as they jumped out a two-touchdown lead in the first quarter before ever letting the Mavericks touch the football. Starting from their own thirty-three yard line after freshman Zack Edwards' 21-yard return of the opening kickoff the Broncho offense immediately began slamming the ball between the tackles featuring junior tailback Jarrod Manoy. Manoy carried the ball on nine of the eleven plays of the opening drive rushing for 59 of the 67 yards before sticking the ball in the end zone on a 4-yard run over right guard to score the first points of the 2003 season for UCO. On the ensuing kickoff the coaches boldly called an on-side kick. The trickery worked as the Bronchos recovered the ball on the MSC 49.
A 33-yard pass from senior starting quarterback Aso Pogi to senior tight end Brandon Whiteley gave the Bronchos a first and goal setting up their second touchdown with still 8:42 left to play in the first quarter. The Mavericks finally began their first offensive series from their own 18-yard line with 8:36 to play in the first quarter but were shut down on three plays and were forced to punt the ball back to the Bronchos. Chad McGaugh came away with a 24-yard return to put the Bronchos in great field position at the MSC 36 yard line to, set up s yet another UCO touchdown. Again, Manoy was force-fed the ball as the offense continued to pound the ball into the heart of the Maverick defense in an effort to grind out the yards. It took the offense ten plays but Manoy finally hammered the ball in from a yard out to put the Bronchos up 21-0 with 2:01 left in the first quarter. A stellar UCO defense would eventually give up 3 points in the second quarter after a 15 play 57 yard drive by the Mavericks that took 7:07 off the clock. Senior quarterback Erick Johnson, last year's starter, took every snap for the Bronchos in the second quarter. Johnson hit Edwards on a crossing pattern for a 27-yard touchdown on the Bronchos second possession of the quarter giv-

UCO running back Derrick Camacho (4) streaks past the offensive line during the first half of UCO's game against Mesa State Sept. 6.
ing them a 28-3 lead that would be the score at the half. By halftime, Manoy had already racked up 80 yards on 17 carries and UCO lead MSC in total offense 219 yards to 94. It was obvious at halftime that UCO had settled on getting the job done on the ground having rushed 31 times for 131 yards and passing for only 88 yards. "We didn't plan on running it like that," said Manoy (28-1502). "It was just something we saw in the first couple of series." The second half would not be dominated quite so much by UCO but the Mavericks never did become much of a threat. The Broncho defense got off to a great start in the third quarter holding the Mavericks to three and out on their first two possessions. The offense, on the other had, did not look so sharp giving away fumbles on each of their first two possessions. The second of which, resulted in Mesa States first touchdown of the game making it 28-9. MSC would not hold the momentum for long though as McGaugh came away with yet another big return taking the ensuing kickoff 37 yards to the UCO thirty-nine. The Bronchos would eventually have to give the ball back after coming up short of the first down despite an impressive Pogi to Edwards hook up for a 21-
yard gain on third and twentyfive. The defense then proceeded to shut down MSC yet again and get the ball back to it's rightful owners, the offense, who stampeded 72 yards in 13 plays capped by a one yard touchdown run by senior tailback Jason Phenix to up UCO's lead to 359. Manoy and Phenix did most of the damage behind a Broncho offensive line that continued to dominate the line of scrimmage the way it had in the first half. MSC came right back and answered with another touchdown of their own going 53 yards on 6 plays to make it 35-16 followed by an onside kick which they recovered on the 50 yard line with 1:59 left to play. Then, after MSC managed to make it inside the red zone with only seconds to play, red shirt freshman Jake Morton intercepted Jake Mowry's pass at the UCO ten yard line and took it 90 yards for a touchdown spoiling any MSC hopes of making the score look better and putting the perfect cap on the perfect beginning to the Bronchos 2003 season. Post-game Comments: "I felt like we were well prepared," said assistant coach Chuck Bailey. The defensive secondary (who Bailey oversees) "stayed disciplined, particularly
in the red zone, and we didn't give up the home run," said Bailey. "Two weeks of preparation paid off," said senior defensive tackle Ryan Cooper (one fumble recovery). "I'm not surprised by our success defensively." Unselfish Words: The Vista asked preseason All-American Dee Dee Carter if he was unhappy that the ball didn't come his way more often. "Not really, as long as we are winning," said Carter. "It'll open up. They try to double team me, but with the emergence of (Zack) Edwards it'll open up for me later."

Baylor University returning to normal By BOBBY ROSS JR. Associated Press Writer WACO, Texas (AP) _ In its 158 years, Baylor University has weathered its share of storms, from Wild West gun battles in the late 1800s ' to a furor over four students posing for Playboy in 1980. A decade ago, the world's largest Baptist university survived a fierce struggle between conservatives and moderates at the Southern Baptist Convention. Then came the frenzy over president Robert Sloan allowing cam. pus dancing for the first time in 1996. But seldom has Baylor faced the kind of scrutiny thrust upon it this ' summer with the slaying of 21year-old basketball player Patrick Dennehy and the ensuing disclosure of major NCAA violations in its basketball program. "It's sad. It's very unfortunate," said Debra Kromer, a 1997 Baylor graduate who lives in Austin. "For the world to look at us in an endless bad light and to kind of put in the back burner what our educational values are, that's a shame." Not everyone faults Baylor, however. "It's just crazy people that thought winning was more important than ethics," said 66-year-old Jack Forbess, a drug and cosmetic chemist in Plano who attended a free concert by comedian Bill Cosby at the school last week. "It's a shame and I don't think any less of the university." Dennehy was found dead July 25 with two gunshot wounds to the head. He had been missing for six weeks. Former Baylor player Carlton Dotson has been indicted on a murder charge in Dennehy's slaying and faces a maximum penalty of life imprisonment if convicted. Dotson remains jailed in his home state of Maryland, where an extradition hearing is set for Sept. 18. Since Dennehy's death, Baylor has been shaken by revelations of secretly paid players, failed drug tests and a tape-recorded plot by former coach Dave Bliss to cover up wrongdoing. With the return of Baylor's 14,000 students two weeks ago, the university has tried to regain a sense of normalcy on the tree-shad', ed, 722-acre campus on the banks of the Brazos River. The first week of the fall semester brought a campus memorial service that paid tribute to Dennehy: his sense of humor, his dream of playing in the NBA, his commitment to the church. On Thursday night, Cosby led a "Spirit Rally for the Baylor Family" that drew 20,000 people. Cosby, who offered to host the free event, billed his appearance as an effort to "build up" Baylor students
hurting over recent events. Cosby's son, Ennis, was shot and killed in 1997 while fixing a flat tire in California. Grant Teaff, a former Baylor football coach who is executive director of the Waco-based American Football Coaches Association, gave Cosby a T-shirt declaring "I Believe in Baylor." A half-hour video played on a big screen before Cosby's arrival touted new basketball coach Scott Drew and Sloan's 10-year plan to make Baylor a top-tier university while strengthening its Christian mission. "It's been an interesting summer, as you can imagine," Teaff told The Associated Press. "The people in the community, like myself, have been stunned and shocked and madder than an old Photo by Justin Avera wet hen." But he said the return of stu- Dr. Stephen C.

When the call is terminated, 911 should be called immediately, and everyone in the threatened building should be evacuated. The fire alarm system shouldn't be activated, and people outside the building should stay outside a 500-foot radius. Rebecca Teeters, a junior music major, was in the building when the package was found. "We just thought it was a fire drill," Teeters said. "It was frustrating because we were outside the building for an extended period of time, but we weren't scared or anything," she said.

The Central Oklahoma women's soccer team went 0-11 in the two games they played over the weekend losing to Regis in Denver on Friday 2-0 and tying Colorado Christian 0-0 in Lakewood Sunday. ranked The No. 13 Bronchos have played three games so far and have a record of 0-1-2 since their season began Sept. 2 in Alva against the Lady Rangers of Northwestern. The Bronchos scored their only goal of the season in that "game tying Northwestern 1-1. After the game Sunday head coach Mike Cook had some things to say about his teams
scoring problems. "We had some great chances to score but just couldn't put the ball in the net," Cook said. "We can't get it in the goal right now and obviously we're going to have to find ways to score. Our defense was good enough to win but it didn't happen." UCO freshman midfielder Audri Habibi came the closest to scoring Sunday when she kicked the ball through the goalkeepers legs, but it was not to be as a CCU defender managed to save the ball before it crossed over the goal line. UCO will begin conference play Friday Sept. 12 when they host Angelo State for their home opener for the first day of the Dr. Pepper Classic.

Volleyball team dominates at Colorado invitational by Brandon Chatmon Sports Editor The Central Oklahoma volleyball team rebounded nicely from their season opening loss last weekend by sweeping four matches at the Colorado State-Pueblo Invitational volleyball tournament in Pueblo, Colo. On Sept. 6, the Bronchos faced Western State in their first match. Continuing their momentum gained from their first day at the tournament, the Bronchos swept Western State 30-27, 30-28 and 3024. Tori Walker had 16 kills and Rachel MacElvaine 10 to help lead the Bronchos to the win. In their second match of the day, UCO faced Colorado-Colorado Springs. The Mountian Lions were a more respectable opponent than Western. State, as they pushed the Bronchos in a highly contested five game match. The Bronchos jumped ahead taking the first two games 30-22 and 30-26. But the Mountian Lions took the next two battle 30-27 and 30-26 forcing the tiebreaker game. Coach Jeff Boyland's squad regrouped for the final match and refused to allow a repeat of the Missouri Southern match as they took game five 15-8. The win in the final match was the finishing touch of a stellar undefeated weekend for the volleyball squad.

The Bronchos earned their first win of the year on Sept. 5 over the host team, Colorado State-Pueblo. They fell behind early in game one as CSU-Pueblo jumped out to a 5-1 lead, but they found their rhythm and erase the early lead to take a small lead of their own of 12-11. The two teams then scuffled back and forth with each taking small leads throughout the game. UCO finally put game one away thanks to a clutch block from Walker and MacElvaine to take the 30-27 win. In game two, UCO got off to a much better start taking the early lead. But the Bronchos couldn't contain the Thunderwolves, who took a 19-10 lead on their way to the 30-19 victory to tie the match at 1-1. In game three, CSU-Pueblo opened up another significant lead taking the 18-10 advantage on their way to a second consecutive win 3024. In the fourth game the Bronchos jumped on the Thuderwolves immediately, taking a 4-0 lead forcing a timeout. With several kills by the Bronchos and errors from CSUPueblo, the Bronchos stretched their lead to 24-17. UCO then put the contest way with six straight points, the game winner coming off a service ace from Kristen Smith, giving the Bronchos the 30-17 win and forcing a tie-breaking Game Five. In the tiebreaker, the two teams continually wrestled the lead from the other as the competitive will of both teams was tested. In a wellplayed battle, the Bronchos raised
their execution, limited their errors while continuing to attack the Thuderwolves. The Bronchos took over late in the game with Walker winning the game and the match with a kill to give UCO the 15-11 win. In their second match of the day, the Bronchos faced Colorado School of Mines. In the first game, the Bronchos and the Orediggers exchanged blows with neither team seizing a sizable lead. With the game knotted at 28-28, UCO forced an error by the Oredigger's Samantha Bauer then Kim Morgal put away a kill to earn the 30-28 victory. In the second game, the teams again battled tooth and nail for an advantage throughout the game before the Orediggers took the 3230 victory to even up the match. In game three, the Bronchos begin to elevate their play as they took a 16-11 lead midway through the contest. UCO kept the lead the entire game, taking the 30-24 win after Stacey Meek set up Morgal for the game-winner. In the fourth game, UCO looked to show the killer instinct missing in their opener. They did so taking a 11-6 lead early and extending that to a 27-18 lead. But the Orediggers wouldn't give up, they rallied back to cut the lead but the Bronchos proved too much to handle and UCO took the game, 30-25 and the match, 3-1. The Bronchos (4-1) will travel to Lawton to face Western New Mexico on Sept. 12 at 3:30 p.m.
