NOTES FROM ECU AND BEYOND...
Compiled from staff reports
and electronic dispatches
Two
Marshall players get C-USA honors
Rice senior running back
Quinton Smith totaled 243 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Owls to
their third straight win on Saturday, while Marshall linebacker Matt
Couch and defensive back Joe Moravec were impressive in leading the
Thundering Herd to its third win in a row. All three players have been
honored as the Conference USA football players of the week.
East Carolina will get an up
close and personal look at Couch and Moravec when it hosts Marshall at 1
p.m. on Saturday.
Smith, the offensive player of
the week, ran for 171 yards on a career-high 31 carries, scored two rushing
touchdowns and caught four passes for 72 yards and another TD to pace Rice's
win over Texas-El Paso. He accounted for 243 all purpose yards, including a
key stretch when he carried the ball seven times for 32 yards on the Owls'
19-play, 76-yard drive that ate up the final 7:30 of the game after UTEP had
closed to within 37-31.
Couch earned defensive player
of the week recognition after he recorded a career-high 17 tackles in
helping Marshall to a 42-21 win over Tulane. He added one quarterback hurry
and two pass breakups in the winning effort. Couch led a Marshall defensive
effort that shut out the Green Wave in the fourth quarter.
Moravec, the special teams
player of the week, blocked a punt on Tulane's 24 yard-line to open the
fourth quarter. It resulted in a Marshall touchdown six plays later that
broke a 21-21 tie and gave the Thundering Herd the lead for good. Moravec
also forced a fumble on a Tulane kickoff return that was recovered by
Marshall on the Tulane 26 yard line, leading the Herd's final score of the
day.
UAB
women capture C-USA soccer title
The UAB Blazers
won their second Conference USA women's soccer championship in
three years with a 3-2 victory over No. 5 seed Colorado College
in Sunday's league final at Southern Methodist's Westcott Field
in Dallas.
The Blazers, who entered the
tournament as the No. 7 seed, jumped out to an early 2-0 lead. Freshman
Rachael Axon scored a goal in the seventh minute, getting a one-timer right
in front of the net off an assist from junior Jenny Meyer. It was Axon's
first goal of the season. Junior Sally Palmer put UAB on the scoreboard
again less than eight minutes later, taking a feed in the box from classmate
Jill Porto.
Colorado College got some help
on an own goal in the 34th minute and the Tigers were only down 2-1 at the
half.
Both teams continued to play
hard in the second half, but neither were able to find the net until there
was less than eight minutes in regulation. UAB's Porto took a centering pass
from freshman Danya Barsalona and flicked it into the net off her heel to
give the Blazers a 3-1 lead in the 83rd minute.
The Tigers did not buckle and
junior Jamie Maltman, who scored her first two goals of the season in CC's
2-1 victory over Texas-El Paso in Wednesday's first-round match, scored
again at the 86:32 mark for the 3-2 final. Colorado College's postseason
hopes are still alive on the strength of its 15-5-1 record this season, the
Tigers' first in C-USA as an affiliate member.
UAB earned the automatic bid
to the 2006 NCAA Championship.
Punter faces attempted murder
charge
A former
University of Northern Colorado punter accused of attempted
murder has appeared in Weld District Court and was ordered not
to contact witnesses in the case, according to a Greeley (CO)
Tribune report.
It is normal procedure for
courts to limit a defendant's contact with others involved in the case prior
to trial. District Court Judge Marcello Kapcow granted the district
attorney's motion.
Mitchell Cozad's attorney
requested that an upcoming hearing be closed to the public and media.
Cozad, 21, is accused of
stabbing teammate and fellow punter Rafael Mendoza in the leg in an attack
on Sept. 11. Later, after police interviewed more than 200 people in the
case, the Weld District Attorney's Office increased the charge against Cozad
from assault to attempted first-degree murder.
Cozad, 21, is free on $500,000
bail. If convicted, he could face up to 48 years in prison.
