confidence that you're going to put
it in the back of the net That's what
happened [against Auburn]. I was
ready to take that kick. I wanted to
score a goal, and I knew I could."
Rice's defense played tough
throughout the second half, leaving
Auburn few opportunities offensively.
The Tigers had one chance early in
the second half when forward Kara
Hasten made it through the Owl de-
fense for an open shot, but it sailed
the ball over the crossbar. Rice out-
shot Auburn 6-2 in the second half,
giving the Owls a 9-5 advantage for
the game. The Tigers managed only
two shots on goal, though, compared
to eight for the Owls.
Riding high off the momentum
from the Auburn game, Rice had a
chance to have its best-ever seasonstart
Sunday against Saint Louis (1-1-0), the
2004 regular-season Conference USA
champion and current member of the
Atlantic 10 Conference. This game was
a rematch of last year's defensive affair
at St Louis, in which Rice secured a 1-0
victory that sent the Owls to the NCAA
Tournament instead of the Billikens.
Rice got off to a quick start when
sophomore forward Clory Martin
and sophomore midfielder Samantha
Conn combined to assist Robbins
in the game's fourth minute, giving
the Owls a 1-0 lead. Saint Louis tied
the game 1-1 in the 33rd minute and
added two goals within a four-minute
period late in the second half to pro-
vide the final 3-1 margin.
Freshman goalkeeper Adriene
Giese, with a combined seven saves
in her first two starts, said one of the
team's problems against Saint Louis
was becoming too relaxed after get-
ting the early lead.
'[The] crowd... pulled
us through against
Auburn.'
— Caitlin Robbins
Redshirt freshman forward
"After we get one goal, we can't
just rest on our laurels," Giese said.
"We have to keep our intensity
[throughout] the whole game and
not just after we get a goal."
The Owls' primary undoing,
however, was an inability to take ad-
vantage of scoring opportunities and
second-half fatigue. Rice had several
chances to build a lead in the second
half but could not convert.
"[The loss] just showed us that
we have to be fitter," Robbins said.
"We can't just go out and play on
a Friday and expect [the Sunday
game] to go as we want.... We need
to work harder, and it's good that
we had that shown to us the first
weekend [of the season]."

Contraception: Woman's <Friemf or Toe?
Our culture believes that contraception is one of the greatest inventions of the late
twentieth century. Promoters of contraception argued that it would decrease unwed
pregnancy and abortion while improving marriages. None of that has happened.
The lecture will explain why natural family planning (NFP) is not the same as
contraception and why couples using NFP report great benefits to their marriage
and why they rarely divorce. In fact, the national divorce rate of 52% drops to less
than 5% in couples that practice NFP rather than contraception.
A free lecture at Rice University, with Q&A, open to the general public.
Friday, September 9, 7:00 PM, Keck Hall, Room 100.
Lecture delivered by Janet Smith, Professor of Ethics. Professor Smith taught for
nine years at the Univ. of Notre Dame, twelve years at the Univ. of Dallas, and she
presently holds the McGivney Chair of Life Ethics at Sacred Heart Major Seminary in
Detroit
