Cats get first loss of year
in home invitational finals

Butler Bulldogs end men's soccer team's winning streak;
loss comes after tie with Central Florida on Friday

ova-m

CMYIIIm Ill!!!

The UK men‘s soccer
team came into Sunday’s
game riding a wave of con-
fidence garnered after go-
ing unbeaten in its first
five games. But after losing
10 to the Butler Bulldogs
on Sunday afternoon, the
team knows it still has
much to work on.

“There's always some-
thing to learn." said sopho—
more forward Nick Aguilar.
“We Eve to bring it to
them every time down the
field."

In a hard fought game
with several fouls, includ-
ing five yellow cards and a
scuffle with three seconds
left in regulation, UK domi-
nated control of the ball.
keeping it on Butler‘s side
of the field for much of the
game. But the Cats were
unable to capitalize, nar-
rowly missing on several
scoring opportunities.

The two teams played
more physical as the game
went on. The lone goal
came from Bulldog mid-
fielder John Mariscalco as
he scored off an assist
from Butler forward Scott
Olson 13:29 into the game.

“I had a tough edge on
the defender," Mariscalco
said. “I felt more relieved
than anything because I
hadn't scored in two
games."

The Cats had a few
chances to tie before the
half was over. playing
more aggressively as the

half went on. With one
minute left in the first half.
sophomore defender Adam
Walker missed a free kick
against a six-man Butler
wall, going wide.

Then. with ten seconds
remaining in the half, ju-
nior midfielder Jamal
Shteiwi got a clean look at
the goal but missed high.
In the jump ball that fol-
lowed, Butler goalkeeper
Evan Reinhardt jumped
through a crowd of UK
players and snatched the
ball to end the half.

The Cats allowed one
shot on goal during the sec-
ond half on defense, and
they kept possession of the
ball for most of the half.
UK shot nine corner kicks.
including four in the final
four minutes of play.

The Cats had another
close scoring call late in
the second half. With seven
minutes left to play.
Aguilar beat a Butler de-
fender to nearly tie the
game. but missed wide
right.

In the final and per-
haps most pivotal play of
the game for UK. junior
forward Jonathan Brunet
aimed a corner kick into a
mass of players from both
teams with ten seconds left
in regulation. After the ball
bounced among numerous
players. both UK's Aguilar
and Butler‘s Reinhardt
seemed to meet for the ball
simultaneously, both going
hard.

In the skirmish that
followed, the referees blew

Butler's goal. Butler beat till 1-0, the Cats first less this year.

the play dead and separat-
ed the two teams. ending a
scoreless game for UK and
a win for Butler (3-2-1).

“Being down 1-0 you
have to challenge the other
team." Aguilar said. “It
should have been even odds
to get the ball, but I guess
the ref didn’t see it that
way"

UK (4-1-1) next takes on

the University of Washing-
ton (3-0~1) in the Husky
Classic. Aguilar said he
hopes the Cats don't let this
loss ruin their season.

“It’s tough to lose when
you‘re undefeated. but it‘s
definitely not over,"
Aguilar said. “There are a
lot of games left.”

Post-game celebration signals return of

BLOOMING-
TON, Ind. — Four
weeks into the sea-
son, UK is finally
having some fun.

In a nearly de-
serted Memorial
Stadium, the Cats
clowned around and
acted like kids.
Players laughed and
coaches smiled. The
remaining fans in
blue roared their approval.

Football was fun again.

It was the first time
since last season that UK’s
football team looked like it
was having a good time.

The Louisville game
wasn't fun for anyone. and
the Murray State game was a
snoozefest.

The trip to Alabama saw

 

improvement for the
Cats. but as UK head
coach Rich Brooks
said, “losing sucks."
Against Indiana,
UK showed signs of
life. But it was the
Cats' impromptu
post-game celebra~
tion that really
brought back the fun.
Last season. the
Cats delivered a sur-
prising 7-5 record. Each game
was an exciting experience as
the Cats continued to stun
fans with their solid play.
Even the losses were wild
rides. like that Florida game
in the Swamp. And even that
LSU game was fun, right up
to that part never mind.
The Cats gave us more
than we ever expected, and

we loved it.

This season. the Cats
face higher expectations and
greater obstacles.

Gone is Artose Pinner,
the Southeastern Confer-
ence’s leading rusher in 2002.
Gone too is Glenn Pakulak,
the team's All-American
punter. And most importantly,
the Cat lost their biggest and
loudest cheerleader. former
head coach Guy Morriss

Brooks immediately
faced expectations of success
for the Cats

After last season's Cin-
derella run. Cat fans were
hungry for a bowl game.
Anything short of that
would disappoint many
backers of the Blue.

The Cats have not lived
up to expectations so far. and

some fans are grumbling.
Everyone seems so obsessed
with reaching a bowl that
routine wins aren't enough.

Somewhere along the
way, the fun was lost. It is
time for everyone to start en-
joying the game again.

The football season has
only 12 games, eight of
which remain. That means
only eight more times to
watch Jared Lorenzen
launch rockets with that can-
non of an arm. Eight more
times to watch Derek Abney
jet up and down the field
making kick coverage teams
look foolish.

Saturday night, former
UK president Otis Singletary
passed away. No one was a
bigger fan than Singletary

The Cool Cats netted
three third period goals en
route to a 7-5 victory over
Tennessee Saturday night in
front of a standing-room
only crowd at the Lexington
Ice Center:

Forward Joe Obermeier
led the Cats offensively with
two goals and one assist, in-
cluding a score 46 seconds
into the final period that
gave the team the lead for
good.

“(UT’s) goalie made a
good kick save on my first
shot but left the puck right
there for me,” Obermeier
said of the goal. “I took it
and just slammed it home. It
was an easy garbage goal.“

That goal brought the
momentum back to the Cats
after UT scored three goals
in the second period to tie
the contest at 4.

Cool Cats head coach
Mike Sosnowski said he was
proud of the way his players
didn‘t get down after the dis-
appointing second period
and came out of the locker
room ready to play.

“We played five good pe-
riods out of six this week-
end, which I was very happy
with." Sosnowski said.
“Every hockey team has a
bad period and we‘re no dif-
ferent. I wasn‘t surprised at
all at the way they fought
back. We’ve got a good group
of kids."

The players said they
were also pleased the other
team refused to stay down.

“Teams have a couple of
bad periods here and there.
but we didn’t let it get us
down," said forward Alex
