Frank Yallop, Chicago Fire Head Coach and Director of Soccer
On what to take away from the game:
"I thought it was a scrappy game. I don't think either team really played that well. I think we both had a lot of changes. We played Sunday. They played Sunday. We've got a game Wednesday and we've got a game Saturday. We're both eyeing the same thing. We can't go 90 minutes with all of our gunner guys. And that makes it a little disjointed when the teams haven't played together and we have a few starters who are actually tired in the end of the game. I thought Colorado pushed at the end and we had a great chance with Juan [Luis Anangono] with a bit of a break too. All-in-all, really happy with the point, not pleased with the performance. Having said that, I thought the guys really fought tonight. Effort was brilliant, absolutely fantastic. We didn't play well but you can't always play well."
On Colorado's "strange" lineup and how to prepare for it:
"Well, first, finding out who some of the players are. You know I was in the west for a bit but now I'm in the east and we don't really play the west. I knew who they were but you have to double check to see how tall they are and kind of get as much info as you can, just to see positionally because I don't know where they're all going to play. So it's not easy but I have a good coaching staff and we figured it all out and we kind of got it right. Just prepare them and we said that Brown will come on, Powers will come on, their big boys, and try to win the game late. And they did that. Everything was correct that we said. Everything that we did defensively was good. We didn't give them a goal. We could have been a lot sharper towards goal but I'll take it right now."
On Sean Johnson's performance:
"He's been good. He's still a young goalkeeper. He's only just turned 25. He's played a lot of matches but he's still a young man. He's been very good this season. He's kept us in games at times. Tonight was no different, so it was good."
On Dillon Serna's shot off the crossbar and the defensive performance:
"I saw the flag go up so I wasn't worried. I was just worried he was going to say play on, but it hit the crossbar anyway. We tried to just play a good solid back four and usually the byproduct of that is people going offsides. I don't know if he was offside or not but I think we did a good job of letting him get behind us. I mean, I wouldn't say the best in the league but Deshorn Brown's probably the best at the breakaway. So we didn't allow him that, thank goodness. Jhon [Kennedy Hurtado] covered Bakary [Soumare] the one time and vice versa, so we did a nice job on him at the end."
Jeff Larentowicz, Chicago Fire midfielder
On getting possession after a choppy start:
"It's hard. They clogged the midfield. You can tell that Pablo's got them closing the ball down very hard and trying to win the ball. I think we tried to play very narrow in the first half and they clogged it up so it was hard to keep possession. They'll pressure hard and when they do that, it's difficult to pass and keep possession."
On Pablo's direction with the team:
"It's the mentality of the coach. The team follows the mentality of the coach. That's the way Pablo was. He was right in the middle of the field. If you're not out there closing people down, I'm sure he's going to get on you. You can see they have that fire. They closed us down, and we weren't good enough with the ball in the first half. I think in the second half, the game opened up a little more. You could tell, with the week that we've had, the guys got a little leggy. It was bound to happen."
On the chemistry of the team:
"The cohesion is not there exactly. It's a fairly new system that we started this week to try to get us more solid in the middle of the field. All in all, it's the first shutout of the year, it's a point on the road, and we'll move onto the game on Saturday."
Harry Shipp, Chicago Fire midfielder
On the mindset going into the second half:
"I think in the first half we struggled to keep the ball, especially through the middle. It was tough for Jeff [Larentowicz] to get the ball and kind of face up and play. Partly cause they were trying to clog the middle, partly cause we really didn't try to play. I think it was trying to find those pockets underneath. I think most of the times I touched the ball, it was off a long ball that just fortunately fell to me, which isn't ideal. It's not how we want to play, but it's just kind of how it was at the end of this game."
On Colorado clogging the middle of the field:
"They did a good job doing that. I think it's hard when for periods it was just me and Juan [Luis Anangono] up top isolated, it's 2v6. It's not really anyone's fault, we're playing at altitude, we played three days ago, the outside mids are tired in the last 20 minutes of the game, so they aren't getting up as much. We'll take the point, move on, and hopefully win on Saturday."
Sean Johnson, Chicago Fire goalkeeper
On earning the first shutout of the season
"I think it was very important for us to get a shutout, especially in a tough game on the road in a tough stretch with three games. Coming off a Sunday game, it's not easy to play and then travel, especially at altitude, so it was really important for us. I'm happy for everybody, not just the defenders in front of me but all the guys on the field that worked over 90 minutes to grind and get the result. Now we have to look to build and keep going and look forward to Seattle on Saturday and look to get another result."
Chicago Fire Head Coach and Director of Soccer Frank Yallop
On where the breakdown occurred:
"We seemed flat from the first whistle. The guys seemed up for the game, but we weren't sharp. We had a couple chances here and there. Same as them, but they were sharper in front of the goal but we were poor defensively. For us, we have to address that but it's difficult. We have a few guys out at the moment, so there's not a lot we can change. We just have to keep working, and it's one of those games were Columbus was better than us tonight they deserved to win the match. You have to take the defeat and move on."
On having five players out:
"You can understand how it's not just the defense. You have key guys not playing, six or so. It's not an excuse I never make excuses. I'm not blaming them they haven't played for a while. Steven Kinney came in and he hasn't played all season. Grant Ward made his debut and he hasn't played for four months. Tough night around we kept going to the end but, we were pretty naïve generally all over the pitch, especially defensively. We have to make better decisions where we don't give chances to the opposition. We left the game mentally flat. Maybe it's because we came off two wins, and we don't think we have to earn the right to play a game. We do every game."
On dealing with Higuain's ability to spring players:
"He's pretty close to the best in the League. The game plan was as soon as he got the ball to drop. We couldn't really figure it out. He does it at the right time and he finds space. He's a good player, take nothing away from that guy. He's a very good player. He sees the game well. He sees the game how it should be looked at. Offensively, we couldn't handle it. It wasn't just him they had good runners off the ball. We made poor decisions defensively to give them the chances to score."
On not being able to score:
"That's kind of us. We looked like we were going to score most games. We went through the game and had some good chances. Quincy [Amarikwa] has gotten some good spots. I just talked to him he's a little calmer, a little bit picking guys out. I've only seen him once but we had chances to score but you can't keep conceding goals and win matches. At some point you need to shut it down and make it difficult. It's the whole team; it's not just one or two guys. The whole team has to do it."
Chicago Fire Midfielder Jeff Larentowicz
On the backline:
"Columbus guys are tricky, they know how to run off your back shoulder, they know how to find time on the ball and it allows guys in the midfield to pick out runners. I think that both goals come off of passes from the midfield with runners off of our back shoulder. They both ended up as goals. They also had other opportunities that were similar that didn't come off for them."
On Columbus tactics:
"They overload the midfield so we have to find a way to get pressure on the ball. If we turn the ball over then there is no pressure on the ball and then he can pick his head up and make those passes. Like I said, the forwards and the wingers are tricky enough to run off his shoulder and find that space. It's dangerous."
On missing players on the road:
"Every road game in this League is a difficult game. However, every road game is a winnable game if you're playing right, if you're turned on at the right moments. Today we weren't."
Chicago Fire Goalkeeper Sean Johnson
On new players in new positions:
"I think you can't really come up with any excuses. You can't really look to blame a different lineup or different person. We are all on the same team. We all train together on the pitch and prepare ourselves for match day. I think it's down to what we do when we step on the field. We are more than capable of meshing together for 90 minutes and getting a result."
On Higuain:
"Higuain is a class player. He's not just been doing that for our game, he didn't really come out of anywhere, he's been doing it all season. We've got to do a better job of being aware of the kind of things he likes to do. He's a crafty player, very good on the ball. I think just putting ourselves in better spots. It's not any surprise to us that Higuain is capable of threading those passes and putting himself in those spots. It's just up to us to deal with those things better."
On goals:
"On the first one I put him out wide and I think it was still an angle where he had a difficult finish. It could've been saved, possibly. The second one was in no man's land and I came out to close the angle and he did well to put it past me."
On needing a win:
The starting point is it is always better to win then to lose or draw. We're happy. I think we've been frustrated that we've been playing well and not getting the results. We're still trying to focus on the product we're creating and how we're playing. It's nice when you get results. From that standpoint were happy. I think it was a good effort. Obviously we're missing some guys but we did a great job.
On Ethan Finlay's first start of the season:
He was excellent. This game isn't something that comes out of the blue. If we look at what he's been doing these last couple of weeks, he's been leading up to this. I'm most happy with the fact that he was a guy that isn't a starter, he works his way to the 18, he works his way to the starting lineup, then he performs like this. You can see the progression and he makes other guys believe there's a chance. He makes other guys believe that if they work hard and train hard that they will get an opportunity.
On defense:
Chicago hasn't been shut-out yet this season I think that speaks for itself. The guys did it with determination. Guys like Eric [Gehrig], Tyson [Wahl], Hector [Jimenez]. I mean I thought Chad Barson was great as well with his defensive responsibilities. Steve Clark was very secure today. On crosses, he didn't give up any rebounds today and that's what you want from a goalkeeper. I think these guys really responded. You can see some of the guys that played last week and played again this week they are getting a rhythm and they are getting a lot more comfortable.
On Michael Parkhurst and importance of getting him in the game:
I think the fans were spectacular to give him that ovation and really cheer him on. He's been through a lot these last couple of days and it's nice for him to feel that everyone supports him. It's the team, the fans and the community supports him. He had a tough session on Thursday, followed by a weight session followed by a red-eye across the country. It was too much for him, he wanted to play but I didn't think it was worth the risk of an injury after all of that travel and training.
On replacing Federico Higuain:
You don't replace Federico, simple as that. We get someone on the field that can play their game and we're not going to ask someone to come in and play like Federico that would be foolish of us. We're going to ask someone to come in and play to the best of their ability. I'm confident that we are going to be able to get that out of someone.
On tonight's game:
We had a fantastic game. We knew that there were a lot of players on this team that could play and Eric [Gehrig] obviously stepped up tonight. The thing about Eric is that he is a gamer, the whistle blows and we don't have a problem.
On second shutout of the season:
For me it's more important to win and I knew that if I continued to play the way that I play every game then shutouts are going to come and a lot of them. For me it's about process not results all the time, especially in the goal keeping you have to keep your head and blinders on from distractions. Shut outs come and they go.
On Chicago's playing before first goal:
You have to give credit to Ethan Finlay for figuring that out, he had a fantastic run. He is a very intelligent kid and a very intelligent soccer player. He spotted that and he was in behind.
On Crew's teamwork tonight:
I think that our backline had a good game but I can't tell you compared to their backline. We didn't give them a goal and they gave up two but I thought that we played very well.
On playing tonight:
It's nice to be back home. It's a few weeks earlier than I participated or that I wanted but it's really good to be home. And it was a really nice motivation when I came on the field and I heard everybody. I was really appreciative of that and the support that everyone has given me here.
On the last 48 hours since being cut from the final U.S. Men's National Team roster:
It's tough. We didn't know that the cuts were going to come in that day so no expectations there. It's difficult of course, I just lost my dream. You have to bounce back and be professional. Now my whole propose is the Crew.
On leaving with his "best foot forward":
Yeah I think so, I don't think that there is anything else I could have done. I don't think that there was anything negative that was on my part that made them not choose me. I think that's just how it was set up. It makes it a little easier for me to swallow knowing that I had done my best.
On moving on from the roster announcement:
Absolutely, it's great to be back around the guys. I wanted to come back here and get back to business as quick as possible to get my mind off of it.
Chicago Fire Head Coach and Director of Soccer Frank Yallop
On the Fire's first win at Toyota Park this season
"Well obviously, last time I saw you guys, it wasn't a pretty sight with the game we had before. But today, we come away with three points against a good side – it's obviously the aim before the match. We got it done; we're unbeaten in two games, which is always a good thing. We dug through and got the result that we needed. We should have shut them off with a couple of chances late in the game, but didn't; and you have to give credit to Kansas City, they kept going, created some chances late with ten men. But it's great to get that win; I feel good that we saw it through. But obviously, there's room for improvement on any performance, and there's no difference for this one."
On the lack of shutouts
"We won the game, would have loved to get the shutout; winning is everything. If we win 3-2, 2-1, whatever it is, we'll take it. Obviously, it's nice defensively if we can get a shutout. But as you know, it wasn't a defensive back four error; it was someone not picking up someone on a set play, so that's a team thing. We're working on stuff all the time; it's brand new, with 10 games in, I'm happy with only losing two games in this league with a group that's been put together a little bit. We've had our ups and downs; we should've won more games for sure. We had two home games that you saw had penalty kicks; we could be on four wins right now. It has me going, "well, that's not bad," so it's give and take. I don't get carried away with winning games; I don't get carried away with losing or tying games. I think, right now, we're in a good spot, we've got a chance to now get going. These next four games are tough; we've got a tough schedule, but it's something that I'm looking forward to, to see and test the character of the boys. They're up for the fight, and we saw this game through, which is important to me, so they're going to feel good about it. We did the same in New York, no matter how the manner is. I got a little bit of gray hair; it could've been silver by the end of the game. But we got the win, and that's all that matters at this point."
On the revamped back line
"It's pretty good; and again, it's a work in progress the whole time, it's a team defensive type of thing. I thought Patrick [Ianni] had a good, solid game again; Jhon [Kennedy Hurtado] again, I thought, was solid in the middle, the two outside backs at times. Kansas City moved the ball well; they get you overloaded at times, they pull you around. In general, they had a couple of good chances; but I thought we had the better chances, to be honest. Dilly [Duka] had a breakaway, Mike [Magee] had a chance to go around a keeper and slot it. I know it was a tough game late in the match, but we could've come away with four or five goals today. The way I'm trying to set the team up is to obviously try to outscore the opponent, and try to make sure that we're going forward, but we're just trying to be solid and defensively sound at the back. The balance at the moment is a little bit wavering; we've gone forward okay, but I think the defensive side of things is not quite right yet; and again, it's not just the back four, it's the whole thing. We watched a lot of DVD last week, we're going to watch it again this week, and see if we can get the balance where we can just be in good spots. And I just think, as a team, we sat back a little bit again in this game. We have to slide up the field and keep the ball, especially against ten men.
On who is taking penalty kicks
"I actually had a chat with a few press guys a few weeks ago, and I decided Jeff [Larentowicz] was going to take them. But Mike [Magee] and Jeff were talking, and Jeff felt that Mike was the guy to do it. He missed the last two for us; last season [against Montreal], then the first one against Philly. To score two in the same game is tough, so you have to hand it to Mike that he stepped up and buried those two chances and won the match for us; it was great."
On facing a 3-5-2 formation
"I have not seen that for a while, actually; that was old school MLS stuff, the 3-5-2. But looking at [Kansas City head coach Peter Vermes'] team, it was depleted a little bit at the back, so he decided to play that. It was a little bit different; for us, I'm sure where they're going to play and who's going to play, just make sure we're ready to do it, and step the guys and do our thing. For a good seventy minutes, I felt we were comfortable, and then it got a little hair-raising at the end. But you have to hand it to Peter and his team, they're a good side; they're not champions for nothing. They proved it today; they really came up to fight, especially with 10 men."
On the thought process behind the Fire's double substitution
"I just thought the momentum was getting away from us a little bit, so I just decided that double is always good. One is not always the impact that you want, so I wanted to do two at the same time, and make two positions freshened up. All in all, I thought it was good; I think Logan [Pause] did a good job, and Dilly looked good when he came on. He has not played for a while, so it was good to get him some minutes and get him running around. All in all, you decide what you want to do; I talked to the coaches, but ultimately, it was my decision. I felt it was the time to do it."
Jeff Larentowicz, Chicago Fire Midfielder
On not being able to score to put the game away:
"We want to, it's not something we're afraid of. It's just not happening. We come close, we have opportunities, but they make the defensive plays and good saves, but it will come. A win is a win and it's good that we can be picky in this circumstance."
Sean Johnson, Chicago Fire goalkeeper
On the defensive performance:
"We needed to learn how to control a game and we are. I think tonight that the effort defensively was fantastic. We limited shots, limited chances and there were not many shots on target at all. I think we'll look to build on that going forward, but I'm really happy with the performance tonight.
On the learning curve:
"I think we've learned a lot. The most important thing we've learned is that we can't sit back and wait for the game to come to us. No matter what the result is – regardless if we're tied or we're up we need to keep playing our game and be confident that we can dictate the way the game goes, close out games and get results."
On building momentum:
"Back-to-back wins are huge for us. Now we know what it feels like to win. We know how to win and now it's a matter of focusing on the little things and getting it right so that every game we give ourselves a chance to win and put ourselves in a position to go on and push for three points."
Mike Magee, Chicago Fire forward:
On the first win a home:
"We needed a win badly; however, if that's how we're going to win games, I probably only have a couple games left in my career. We'll take it, it was deserved. It was a very funky game, but we'll take wins however we can get them at this point."
On the end of the game:
"That's kind of been our M.O. We get up in games, play well in spurts then kind of take our foot off the gas. That happened again tonight. We created a couple chances, I even had a couple of good ones, but for whatever reason we're letting teams hang in games, and teams like K.C. usually make you pay."
Harry Shipp, Chicago Fire midfielder
On playing K.C. with missing starters and a man-up in the second half:
"The players they subbed in for them are still really good players. A championship team isn't 11 guys it's 18 guys. When you slide guys into the midfield and up front they are still going to be dangerous. I think they were good keeping the ball in the attacking half, but once we were able to break that pressure we did a good job of slipping balls in – getting Quincy and Mike behind for some penalty calls in the first half."
The Fire finally picked up three points last week in dramatic fashion with a 5-4 win over Red Bull in New Jersey and will look to make it two on the trot when they welcome defending MLS Cup champs Sporting Kansas City to Toyota Park on Sunday (2pm CT My50/TWCSC-WI/UniMas).
Sporting brings a depleted squad to Chicago but their first loss at home in some time at the hands of the Union on Wednesday night means they come to town with a bad taste in their mouth. Here are some things to look out for from a tactical perspective.
Taking advantage of a depleted SKC defense – testing the makeshift back line
On Sunday, Kansas City will take the field without either member of their famed center backs – Aurelien Collin (injury) and Matt Besler (international duty). Right back Chance Myers is also a doubt. On the outside, Seth Sinovic could be the only regular starter in the back four to play on Sunday while Brazilian Igor Julião had a solid debut in Wednesday's match against Philly.
In the past, SKC have dealt with the loss of Besler due to national team commitments but losing both center backs is a large blow. SKC's patched up defense must have Mike Magee and Quincy Amarikwa licking their lips. Last week we saw Harry Shipp play an absolutely brilliant defense-splitting pass to put Mike Magee in 1v1 with Red Bull 'keeper Luis Robles.
Against SKC, Shipp and whoever plays in the center of midfield alongside Jeff Larentowicz should be looking to play those types of passes in behind the SKC defense to the onrushing Magee or Amarikwa.
Repeating last week's second half tactic on Sunday – putting high pressure on SKC
Amarikwa described Frank Yallop's tactical switch at halftime of the New York game the best. When asked, he said, "We came in at half time and knew we were sitting in too much. We were giving New York too much respect to play and we know we can score goals. That's what we've done consistently this year. So, we said in the second half we're just going to high press, what do we have to lose, and I think it really caught them off guard."
The exact same tactic should be in place from the first whistle against SKC. In Wednesday's match against the Union, Sporting gave up the ball on far too many occasions, many times with minimal pressure applied by the opposition. The Union sat back and used the counter attack to their advantage but for the Fire, forcing a new-look SKC into mistakes will be critical.
If Benji Joya gets the start again in the center of the park, I expect to see more from him in this regard. Joya is slowly but surely improving the defensive side of his game but against a team like SKC, I expect him to take a page out of the Dax McCarty playbook and not allow the SKC players any time on the ball.
Joya has the comfort of Jeff Larentowicz behind him so taking a few risks and pressing higher up the field could reap rewards
Providing more support to the outside backs – wing backs exposed again against NYRB last week
As I discussed last week, a lot of the problems for the Fire defensively stem from attacks coming from the wide areas. That was again the case against the Red Bulls in Saturday's game. It was obvious that NYRB coach Mike Petke told his team to try and isolate Greg Cochrane on the left hand side. During the first half, the Red Bulls attacked almost exclusively down the Fire left. Cochrane certainly held his own but he lacked support from Harry Shipp who was playing in front of him.
On the other side, Lovel Palmer had a tough game in New York. The Red Bulls were again allowed space and time to put in crosses and it really hurt the Fire. Case in point being the Red Bulls first goal, where Eric Alexander was given yards of space to pick out a cross and he duly found the head of Tim Cahill, the best header of a ball in the league.
Against a team like Sporting KC, who put an emphasis on getting their full backs forward to support the outside attackers, the Fire need to try and minimize the amount of 1v1 situations between our outside backs and the SKC wide men.
Prediction: The Fire are hitting KC at the right time: 2-1 Fire with goals from Mike Magee and Benji Joya.

WATCH: No cardiac arrest after 5-4 win in New York
Wednesday night's Art of Futbol at Prairie Production Studio was another fantastic success. Check out some of the pieces as well as interviews from Gonzalo Segares, Benji Joya, Frank Yallop and Foundation Director Jessica Yavitz:
Check out select shots from the Art of Futbol 2014!
We'll probably never know what was said at halftime in the away locker room this weekend in Harrison, NJ. We won't know if things were kicked or thrown, if team leaders screamed, or if, as is Frank Yallop's style, calm orders were dispatched.
What we do know, though, is that players after the game said they came out focused on putting more pressure on NYRB's back line. And we know that whatever was said got the Fire refocused enough to turn around a 2-1 halftime score line, score four goals in 19 minutes and overcome a frustrating start to the season to get their first win.
But that talk will go down in the history of halftime talks because whether or not Yallop Al Pacino'd the squad, they came out re-pumped up to the point where Quincy Amarikwa was ready to do this:
Amarikwa was ready to throw his face in front of Luis Robles's clearance if it meant continuing to pressure NYRB and continuing to build for the Fire the advantage they eventually, if not exactly calmly, rode to three points.
As much as I'd like to picture Yallop standing on chairs and screaming, there are other signs that point to a different kind of leadership at halftime. Look at Mike Magee here, barely five minutes into the second half, extolling the guys to push up and stay up. His eyes are popping out of his forehead!
One of the most competitive guys in the league, Magee could smell NYRB's weakness after Amarikwa tied the game at 2-2. And Magee did his job after the Fire built their three goal cushion, helping through the midfield in the game's dying moments to help the Fire fight off NYRB and finish off the win.
What all this points to is that whatever really went down at halftime, the orders were clearly to pressure NYRB's back line and close out the game. The mistakes Magee, Amarikwa, Patrick Nyarko, and game hero Harry Shipp squeezed out of that back line were exactly what Yallop expected.
The true magic of the situation was that the orders were delivered in a way to convey a strategic, tactics-based message with enough emotional weight to overshadow the recent disappointments in the team's mind. It led to eye-popping bodily sacrifice for the team. Everyone came together for the best 20 minute spell of the season, and it led to a deserved win.

Chicago Fire Head Coach and Director of Soccer Frank Yallop
On the spirit of the team:
"It's been good. I mean, you know, I think last week we had that same situation. We're 5-2 up in this game and they nearly come back and tied it. We're two-nil up at home and they come back and win it, [Real] Salt Lake last week. So, what I'd like to think is we've learned something from last week. We can only get as hairy as this, but [we're] playing against a really good team. You can't take away from that."
On Harry Shipp:
"Great. Harry's been playing really well. Each game he's gotten better, and better, and better. I think just his passes with the one pass to Mike [Magee] when he just missed it, first half, to make it 2-1 I think, and they go down the other end and score. That pass, you know, he's got that passing in as well as the finishing. I can't say enough about Harry. He's really working hard at his game, he looks like a real player, and I think he's got a great chance at going all the way."
On the importance of scoring the first goal:
"I always say, and I think there's stats if you look at the stats, if you score first in our league it's 83 percent, I think, you get a point or more. So, I think, you know, getting on the chart first is always a big thing. We've been a bit unlucky, to be honest. We've had two home games and we've had a penalty kick in the last minute of the game to win it and missed them both. So, we could've been on three wins, four wins, you know, maybe two wins, or whatever and we're not stuck talking about it now. What I like about the group, you know, they're really celebrating now because they deserve it, you know, we've deserved more that we've got. They have not dropped their heads, come to a really difficult place to play, and get a result, and score five goals, which is amazing really, in any game, not just coming to New York and doing it. I'm really proud of the guys the way they hung in there at the end, Sean [Johnson] made two great saves, and we preserved the win."
Chicago Fire Forward Quincy Amarikwa

"I think overall we showed a lot of fight. We came on the road, I think a lot of people, especially the analysts, didn't think we could come out here and get the road win. I'm glad we were able to prove them wrong."
On the second half:
"We came in at half time and knew we were sitting in too much. We were giving New York too much respect to play and we know we can score goals. That's what we've done consistently this year. So, we said in the second half we're just going to high press, what do we have to lose, and I think it really caught them off guard. We put away the number of goals we needed to get the win tonight."
On the importance of getting the first win of the season:
"I think it's a pretty big relief, you know, we've kept the morale high this entire time. We've known we're capable of winning. I mean a lot of games came down, I think there's two games that came down to PK's that we just weren't lucky on. It was nice to have a little bit of luck go our way today and I just think it's what's more to come. We know we can win and we just proved it tonight and we're going to continue on with the rest of the season."
Chicago Fire Midfielder Harry Shipp
On the match:
"Yeah I'm honestly just happy to get the first win for this team. I think over the past four or five games, or so, we've had some heartbreaking ties and losses giving up late goals, especially last week. So, I think just hanging on for the win, I think New York's a good team, they were going to get back in the game, you kind of knew that, but just kind of some last ditch defending helped us in the last 10 minutes or so. I'm just happy, if I score three goals and we don't win the game it doesn't really matter. So, that's what's important."
On his game:
"Yeah I think especially in the second half. I think I was finding spaces in the first half and played a ball to Mike [Magee], scored one goal, but I think we kind of knew going into half time, I think we knew we could exploit those spaces even more underneath, me coming inside off the left and so I think we really started pressing higher in the second half, trying to win the ball off their back four, which is how I got my second goal, or third goal was taking it off of them. So yeah, I think the first, especially 30 minutes of the second half were really good."
On play of the team:
"Yeah it was surprisingly upbeat. You know, I think we played well for those first 70 minutes or so and then I think we collapsed down the stretch, but we know if we could take those 70 minutes and turn it into 90 minutes we have a chance to win every game and I think we've been playing well the prior three, four games before that and that was just a lapse of 20 minutes, like I said. But yeah, I think everyone was hungry in training, everyone was feisty trying to get after it, trying to get a spot in the [starting] 11, and I think, you know, it showed this game."
Last Saturday's injury time loss to RSL prolonged the Fire's misery for another week as the team continues to search for their first win on the season. It doesn't get any easier this weekend, when the Men in Red travel to Red Bull Arena to face New York on Saturday evening (5:30pm CT on My50/TWCSC). The Red Bulls have yet to really hit the ground running the season and will be looking to repeat the drubbing of the Fire in the last regular season game of 2013.
Here are some tactical observations to look out for on Saturday evening.
A potential shakeup in the back? A return for Segares likely but other changes possible
Frank Yallop didn't have positive things to say about his team's defending for the last 20+ minutes against RSL as and I expect him to make one or more changes to the back four for Saturday's game. With Gonzalo Segares making the 18 last Saturday, one potential switch is at left back in place of Greg Cochrane.
Cochrane's attacking ability has been a highlight during his stint in the starting eleven but he was caught out defensively on more than one occasion during the last 20 minutes against RSL. From a purely tactical perspective, the return of Segares would boost the Fire's aerial defending prowess, especially against threats such as Tim Cahill.
A few weeks ago, Frank Yallop spoke about the need to get Patrick Ianni game time with both Jhon Kennedy Hurtado and Bakary Soumare in the team's reserve game vs. Charlotte, in the case he may need to be utilized in a future match.
Some of the mental mistakes made by Soumare last season have crept back into his play of late and this could result in Ianni getting a run Saturday vs. Red Bull. a
New York have scored the most goals in the East this season and the Fire cannot afford to make any more mental mistakes especially against a team boasting the Conference's top goal scorer in Bradley Wright-Phillips and Thierry Henry, the Fire's arch nemesis over the past few seasons.
What to do up front? – Will Amarikwa or Anangono partner Magee up front?
In a game where it was imperative that he put in a solid performance, Juan Luis Anangono gave a good shift against RSL last week, picking up a goal and linking well at times with Mike Magee. His competition for a starting spot on Saturday evening is the returning top goal scorer Quincy Amarikwa who missed the match due to red card suspension.
Tactically, there are arguments to be made for both players to get the nod. Amarikwa's constant high pressure on the opposition's backline would be welcome against a New York team who continue to be weak defensively in the wide areas.
Quincy is also the more ideal player to have in 1v1 situations, especially if the Fire can get him against one of the Red Bull center backs. In the middle, Jamison Olave has lost a step of pace from his days in Salt Lake and his partner Armando has yet to settle fully into MLS.
Anangono's size is an important factor to consider, both in the attack, and defensively where he would be useful for set pieces. It is also important for the Fire to start being smarter in possession, especially holding the ball up in the attack.
Anangono has been a mixed bag in this regard so far this season but if he is given his second start in a row, I expect to see an emphasis on this tactic on Saturday night.
Monitoring Lloyd Sam – Stepping out and pressuring the Red Bull winger
Just looking at Lloyd Sam's four assists this season gives you a good indication into the threat the Englishman poses. From his wide right position, Sam's crossing is extremely accurate. Not only does he put himself into good wide positions, his ability to still put in a cross while under pressure from a defender makes him even more dangerous. Another problem with the Fire's late game collapse last week was the lack of urgency by the team's outside midfielders and defenders to close down the RSL wide players resulting in free crosses.
In Saturday's game, the Fire must not allow Sam to get similar amounts of space granted to RSL. Stifling Sam will also cut the supply to Wright-Phillips and Henry.
Prediction: If I predict we will win, the team will end up with a tie so I'm going with a 2-2 tie with goals from Quincy Amarikwa and Benji Joya.

WATCH: The Centerback
Frank Yallop, Chicago Fire Head Coach and Director of Soccer
On if the Fire were the better team tonight
"No, cause they weren't. The first half was good, the second half we were totally out played. Very naïve from us. At some point you have to figure it out on the field. I can't do much from where I am at except make changes in certain things, the lineup, and get other players in, but you got to stand up and be counted."
On how frustrated he feels
"I feel terrible because I thought tactically we had it figured out. We did great in the first half, but the game is 90 minutes. You got to punish them with another goal, but I said at half time 'they are going to come at you because they're good.' I don't think we really wanted to win that game because we didn't show it. If we wanted to, we would have put our head through the ball, and be good at that stuff. We had a total collapse in a game we should have won."
On if the team broke down from Real Salt Lake's pressure
"They're a good side. They could have scored a couple first half [goals].The whole game is in ebbs and flows, we had some chances, took them, they had a couple, and Sean made two great saves. We've played eight games, we've not won yet. We got to go to a tough place next game, and we got to get a result."
On keeping morale high without getting wins
"We will find out next week. We've not had that happen to us collapsing like that in the second half. Take nothing away from them but we should see that game out, 2-1, even 2-2, but not 3-2. I got to figure out who is going to be punching and fighting the whole season, the whole 90 minutes."
On if there will be some changes for next week
"It's a bit early for that, but I would think so."
On if there was too much respect for Real Salt Lake
"They play a certain style of game. It's a possession game. We just kept going backwards and not stepping into people. We tended to drop and have low pressure, but that doesn't mean no pressure. You still got to try to win the ball back and then break. I don't want to be that deep, but we ended up that deep. You got to see that game through. We've got to be man enough to see that game through, and we didn't."
On positives from that performance
"We scored two goals. I guess that's a positive. When you lose it's sickening. It's very difficult to take. First half, Sean made some good saves and we played pretty well. Then a crazy 15-20 minute spell, we give the game to them, which is really disappointing."
Jeff Larentowicz, Chicago Fire midfielder and captain
On what changed from the first half to the second half:
"We stopped doing things in the second half that we did well in the first – we conceded ground, allowed them to play in our end, didn't connect passes once we had it, and if you do that against a good team they are going to beat you."
On how RSL was able to do that:
"They crowd the ball, they get a lot of numbers, and they're good at finding ways to keep possession. They make you work defensively, so once you get it you're tired and they wear you down. I don't think it was a conscious thing where we said 'alright let's hunker down,' we just have to defend and defend properly."
On how to move forward:
"This is a mental test for us. All the positives we've been putting on things, we can't do it any longer. It's been weeks and tonight it's a loss, it's not a game where can say we played a complete game and didn't get the points, we didn't. We have to look at the mistakes we made and move on. Like I said, it's a mental challenge; we can't go in the negative direction. The guys have to keep a positive attitude, guys have to honestly assess what they are doing personally to a man, go home and figure out how they are going to work harder and push themselves to have a positive attitude and push on. At this point it's difficult – you can go one of two directions and we have to push forward and have to expect that we can learn from our mistakes and move on."
Sean Johnson, Chicago Fire goalkeeper
On the result:
"I think it's obvious that it doesn't feel great, after we were up 2-0 and losing at home. I can't really describe the emotions right now; it's a difficult one to swallow at home, being up. We can't make excuses for it though. We were not good enough."
On the shift in the game:
"We have to search for answers. I don't know what happened, we were up 2-0 on cruise control, the game was in our hands and they scored one, they scored two, get the momentum and before you know it they won the game."
On what's next for the team:
"This was definitely a test for us. We've got to look at ourselves, there's no one for us to blame. We've got to look at ourselves in the locker room and come up with a solution. We keep digging a hole for ourselves, there's no reason at this point in the season we should be where we are - we should be close to the top of the table. We've had games in hand; off the top of my head we've had four games now that I feel like we should have gotten a win. Scratch the ties, we've taken a step back now with the loss. We've got to get back to training. We can't get down; we can't let something like this affect the mood of the team. We have to keep chugging along; we have a handful of games left, so we have to dig in."
On the difficulty of staying positive during the winless streak:
"This is our job, professionally, game in and game out we have to have the same attitude and find a way to win games, plain and simple. We've been through everything tactically, physically and mentally I think now we have to find what it takes to win these games."
On the coach's reaction to the loss:
"Obviously we're not happy with ourselves and the coaching staff is obviously disappointed with the result – there's really not much more to say. There's disappointment all the way around."

Under 21? UO has AlcoholEdu for you
EUGENE, Ore. - This September, 4,200 new students will enter the University of Oregon.
Everyone under 21, both freshmen and transfers, will have to take a two-phase online program.
The University is starting a new alcohol education program to help incoming students learn how to handle alcohol responsibly called AlcoholEdu for college.
"It's meant to go through and assess where they're at with their knowledge of alcohol and how it affects the body, the mind," said Jennifer Summers, who works in substance prevention and student success at Oregon.
Summers said each portion will take no more than 2 hours to complete.
"It's a very unique program that's very personalized and gives a lot of feedback based on where they're at," Summers said.
KVAL News asked: Why target new students that are under 21 and not all students?
The University said new students are the most vulnerable when it comes to alcohol use.
Students had mixed reactions to the new program.
"In high school the drinking scene was a lot more calm," said Adam Green, sophomore, "and in college it accelerates a lot obviously. Any awareness that can be spread about it is not a bad thing for sure."
"I think that it would be kind of boring honestly," said Katie Park, senior, "but in the long run it could help them."
"It's one part in the grand comprehensive strategies for making sure that this is a healthy, safe campus here for our students," Summers said.
New students will be notified through email about taking phase one of the program before school starts.
If students don't complete the program, there names will be sent to the Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards.

Rep. Meadows becomes Tea Party poster boyWritten by Admin
To the Editor:
Rep. Mark Meadows would like us to think of him as a "moderate or centrist Republican" (SMN, June 5, 2013) in spite of voting 97 percent of the time with his extremist party in the U.S. House. I am a "recovering Republican" and know "centrist or moderate Republicans," and he ain't one. More accurately, he is the poster boy of the Tea Party. Let's face, in this day and time moderate Republicans are as extinct as the dodo.

After my father passed away 20 years ago, I had the sad duty to go through and dispose of some of his possessions. Buried deep in one of his drawers were items he carried during World War II; items like maps, orders, encrypted messages, and a hand-written notebook with "Epic Words" of great people such as Thomas Paine, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln; items that no one in my family knew about prior. Rarely did my father ever talk about his war experiences, keeping the scars of battle deep inside him. But mixed in with the other items was a short letter he wrote, somewhere on the battlefields of North Africa or Italy, a letter that stands alone amongst his papers, a letter which speaks volumes of why he risked his life by enlisting to fight World War II. Replace the words Japan and foreign powers with terrorist, and the principles still ring true today, some 60 odd years after it was first penned.
Why I Fight: A common soldier's take on war
By Norman Moskovitch
It is not for me, the common soldier, to discuss the basic or immediate causes of this present conflict. That is past history. But, as an American who has volunteered to take arms against the forces of evil, I find it necessary to attempt to understand the fundamental principles involved in this present conflict.
We cannot merely shrug the matter off by saying Japan attacked us and that is why we fight. It is not enough. Eventually, it was a choice between two principles; either submit ourselves to the will of these foreign powers, or resist and finally destroy them. If we submitted?
Well, look what happened to France. France was once a mighty and great nation, but now has been reduced to a state of semi-slavery. (Consider the context of World War II. Editor).
But we resist! Because from the souls of the millions of men who have died in the past; those pioneers, farmers, workers, industrialists, statesmen, politicians, inventors, scientists, philosophers, dreamers, martyrs, crackpots, and so on, there has been a rising, in us, a heritage. This heritage which has made our land what it is. Our land, which has been open to all men who bring peace and good will, has given, to all, the opportunity to prosper and dream and worship as the individual sees fit. A land that hasn't been polluted by class distinction, which has given anyone, no matter how obscure or humble his beginning, a chance of rising to fame and fortune and even become the leader of the nation. A land which has given a man the chance of fulfilling his innermost dreams of happiness and contentment, is a land well worth fighting and sacrificing, or, if necessary, dying for.
Our ancestors made it what it was and we make it what it is. Whether, in the eyes of God, it be right or wrong, we have it and we're stuck with it. In our minds, we believe it is right. It is ours. Therefore, we shall protect and maintain it, defend and preserve it. We will not fail!

Dear sir
This may be hard for you to understand ,but i speak the truth. I had a claim in to fight for my benifits, over 20 years i have fought the VA with an attorney, because i couldn't trust The American legion or The Dav. If i had enough space to explain i would but ,now my family has been financially destroyed and yes, because of the va and i can prove it. I had no choice but to hire an attorney, because none of these represenatives that i delt with could be trusted. i even went to washington to plead my case and there i had a Va rep who was nothing but a back stabber he sat there and never opened his mouth. How's that for a good rep.? This is a true story,not just some bull crap. My attorney started with my case in 1993,and even he could get my right starting date for me when i became disaabled. I lost my job,1n 1989and just about commited suicide, but looking at my children i couldn't do it. Thanks for listening. I doubt if you could ever understand how much i hate the VA!!
I sent this and they stopped it from going through ,their excuse is my letter triggered the spam filter , well sure the Tuth hutrs. it usually does. Frank.
How do you post your own story??? your help would be much appreciated!!
The United States is the greatest country in the world. It offers many opportunities and freedoms. Some get hung up on particular issues and loose sight of our great country. Thanks for a great article.

By C.J. MCMANUSSun Advocate reporter
Last week, students all over the United States celebrated National School Bus Safety, taking a few moments to learn about the vital contribution "big yellow school buses" make to their education and safety. In America, a fleet of 480,000 yellow school buses provide safe and environmentally friendly travel to 26 million children every day. In areas like rural Carbon County, the buses' contribution is all the more impressive as students are bused from remote locations over a large area, servicing as many as nine separate schools.
To make this task easier, the district recently purchased a new computerized travel system referred to by those within the district as Fleet Finder. While the system came at a healthy price to the district, it is already paying dividends.
"We are always looking for ways to be more efficient and safe," said Carbon School District Transportation Supervisor Kerry Jensen, during a presentation to the local school board. "Fleet Finder began helping with this immediately. In fact, we have already been able to eliminate routes from daily travel."
While one route does not seem like much, it adds up to a significant savings in a very short period of time. One school bus on the road eliminates the need for 36 cars. According to Jensen's presentation to the board, school buses save money, lessen fuel consumption and eliminate pollution every time they hit the road.
The Fleet Finder program, which was installed this summer, does have an extensive learning curve, as school district employees can attest. However, the more they learn about the program, the more they seem to like it.
"We were provided with some very extensive training this summer," said the School District's Travis Rasmussen, who works at the transportation department. "A trainer came to us from their corporate headquarters, showed us the ropes and we have been learning every since."
According to Rasmussen, the computer guided system has been a blessing assisting the district with routing and planning, with changes in boundaries and student population . The software also has a field trip activity manager that will allow teachers to schedule bus trips for special events right from their computer. Additionally, a fleet management system for the district's 100-plus vehicles assists with maintenance, wear and vehicle value.
While value and efficiency are vital to the school bus program, District Supervisor Jensen stressed during his report to the school board that the bus system is also vital because it provides equal access to all children within the district. This access ensures that each and every student is given safe and reliable transportation to and from school everyday.
Lastly, Jensen addressed the unparalleled safety record of yellow school buses. The U.S. Department of Transportation has confirmed that school buses are indeed the safest form of school transportation, stating that the buses are 50 times safer than a standard passenger car.
According to the district's transportation supervisor, knowledge concerning the public school bus system is vital, as plans are continually brought forward in both the legislature and within districts to eliminate funding for the program.
Jensen reported that districts have recently cut funding for routes close to schools, eliminated field trips and after-school activities, began charging for public busing and moved students to public transit systems.
"It is vital that we recognize all the advantages public school busing provides to students across the socio-economic spectrum," he concluded. "And it is just as vital that we continue to search for ways to make the system more efficient and safe for our students."

The Lovers
1958. France. Louis Malle. 88 min.
Friday, September 13, 2013, 8:00 p.m.
Theater 1 (The Roy and Niuta Titus Theater 1), T1
The Lovers
1958. France. Directed by Louis Malle. With Jeanne Moreau, Alain Cuny, Jose de Villalonga, Gaston Modot. Malle (1932–1995) had been assistant to Captain Jacques-Yves Cousteau, the great documentarian and oceanographer, on The Silent World. Although, in a sense, Malle beat his Nouvelle Vague rivals to the punch, he remained a kind of odd man out, not being a part of the Cahiers du Cinéma crowd. Moreau's two early films with Malle (Frantic and The Lovers) set the stage for her sensational work with Antonioni, Godard, Truffaut, Losey, Welles, and Buñuel over the next five years, and, in fact, for the next half-century. In French; English subtitles. 88 min.

After he had read the published article, he was incensed by the fact that the reporter chose to highlight some of the more unflattering aspects of his life. The lede (the opening paragraph) and the nutgraph (main information paragraph) pretty much called Wei out as a loser and an internet addict. The reporter even made a point to say that Wei wanted to tell his story as a cautionary tale for college students.
Basically, Wei, a hardcore gamer who has won 20 various types of DOTA championships including 10 on the Chinese national circuit was hoping his story of perseverance would help inspire people. Wei had gotten sick because of all the time he spent playing video games, it reflected in his health, his studies, and his love life. Wei also stopped playing DOTA and online games professionally because of his health problems.
In response to the libelous words written about him, Wei spoke to Sina.com's gaming portal about what he really wanted to say.
"When I was interviewed, I told reporters that E-Sports gave me a positive energy; it had a great effect on me, giving me a never-give-up spirit," said Wei. "I also never said I would be giving up gaming, I had meant that I wanted to graduate university and find a job—the reporters distorted my words."
Wei also goes on the offensive, citing the portion of the article about his love life. According to the reporters, Wei had incurred neck and back problems from prolonged gaming and this somehow led to problems with his girlfriends.
"The reporters wanted to portray some kind of sad love story," said Wei. "This really pissed my father off—he was so angry that he shook with rage, cursing the reporters."
Wei attests that he doesn't have any physical deformities or ailments that came from gaming, and that it was purely fiction. He claims that he's living a fulfilling life. Recently, Wei says, he started working on an internet advertising firm with his friends. The article has had a profound effect on his life:
"Many friends call me to ask if any of what was in the article was true," said Wei. "I didn't know how to really deal with this."
Despite being disappointed with the reporter who made a drama out of his life, Wei hopes that his message that E-Sports isn't bad won't be lost to the readers.

When was the last time you paid attention to socks? Were you reading Dr. Seuss (Fox In Socks)? Talking about presidential pets (Socks, the Clintons' cat)? Or perhaps singing a little Tenacious D (Rock Your Socks)? Needless to say, it's possible-downright probable-that you have neglected this lovely sub-section of your hosiery collection for far too long. We understand, we empathize, and we're here to shine some light on this very of-the-moment look.
One of the most buzzed about sights on the fall runway was the delicious array of knee-high socks, particularly at Prada. They came in lots of flavors-footless, footed, solid, colorblocked-and were particularly yummy when shown with high, open-toe, satin heels. The socks aren't wildly pricey (in the grand scheme of things) ranging from $95 for a pair of wool ones to $135 for silk socks, certainly less than the equally desired Prada turban from Spring 07. Sadly though, they're quite dear in terms of availability, so if you find a pair, snap them up.
Prada's hot socks aren't required for the knee-high look, as the above Foxes show. We like the simplicity of Peaches Geldof's solid socks with her Hunter Boots Wellies ($98). Our beloved first Model of the Moment, Agyness Deyn, wears her knee socks in her typically fashion-forward way, with silver lace-ups and a classic little black dress. Linsday Lohan let her charcoal gray pair peep out of her boots and Rihanna went for toeless, above-the-knee socks on a recent night out in Manhattan.
We'd be fools not to acknowledge that the average person probably isn't going to be willing to pay the sums required for the perfect Prada pairs, so we also found some other options-our socks populi, if you will. American Apparel has a selection of six colors for their Over-The-Knee Socks ($10) and J.Crew also have Solid Knee-Highs ($12.50 each or 2 for $20) in three shades. If solids aren't your thing, check out the Over The Knee Socks ($12) at Urban Oufitters, they have a slight stripe that just might be right.

Women's Hoops Hosts Xavier on Wednesday, Jan. 15
OMAHA, Neb. - Coming off a 97-65 win at Providence (Jan. 11), the Creighton women's basketball team hosts Xavier on Jan. 15 in D.J. Sokol Arena.
1/15: - 7:05 p.m. (CT)
Xavier (7-9, 2-2 BIG EAST) at Creighton (10-7, 4-1 BIG EAST)

Xavier vs. Creighton Series:
Xavier and Creighton will meet for the first time on Wednesday, Jan. 15.
About Xavier
Xavier Head Coach (Interim): Brian Neal (Northern Kentucky, 1991)
Scouting Xavier: (7-9, 2-2 BIG EAST)
Xavier has been an up and down team through the opening portion of the 2013-14 season. The Musketeers have some impressive wins at Michigan (79-75 {OT} on Nov. 13), over Kansas (64-59 on Nov. 29) and St. John's (70-65 on Jan. 5), but also suffered a four-game losing streak (at Wright State, Cincinnati, Indiana and DePaul).
A trio of Musketeers lead the offense as Shatyra Hawkes averages 14.6 ppg, while Ashley Wanninger (11.9) and Jenna Crittendon (11.4) are also in double figures.
Without a true center, Xavier prefers to play up tempo. The Musketeers force 16.9 turnovers per game, but committ 16.3 per contest.
The Musketeers can be challenged on the glass, averaging just 36.1 rebounds per game. In BIG EAST play, that number has dipped to 32.5.
Keys to the Game w/Xavier:
Imitation is the Most Sincere Form of Flattery
Marissa Janning took this phrase litterally as her stat line (13-of-17 from the field & 6-of-9 from three-point range) at Providence is striking similar to that of McKenzie Fujan against DePaul (13-of-17 from the field {76%} and 6-of-8 {75%}). The difference comes at the charity stripe. Fujan was 6-of-6, while Janning went 2-for-2.
Fujan and Janning First Tandem to Post 34+ Points in a Season Since 1990-91
Marissa Janning (34 at Providence, 1-11-14) and McKenzie Fujan (38 vs. DePaul, 1-4-14) became the first Bluejay tandem to top 34+ points in a single season since the feat was accomplished by Kathy Halligan (40 vs. Wisconsin, 12-9-90) and Shannon Struby (34 vs. San Diego State, 2-23-91) in the 1990-91 campaign.
Missed it by That Much
Janning's 34-point effort at Providence came up just one bucket short of cracking Creighton's Top-10 single-game performances. Janning is part of a five-way tie for 12th overall.
Something About the Friars
Creighton and Providence have met twice all-time, each game producing a Bluejay victory as well as a 30+ point performance by a Creighton player. In addition to Janning's 34-point effort, Tanya Warren put up 35 points in Creighton's 91-89 win over the Friars on March 21, 1987 in the WNIT Tournament.
Home Winning Streak Against Conference Sits at 12
Creighton opened its tenure in the BIG EAST the way the Bluejays closed their time in the MVC, beating conference opposition at home. With the 86-78 win over DePaul, Creighton has won its last 12 games in D.J. Sokol Arena against conference opponents. The Bluejays last conference loss at home was on Feb 4, 2012 to Missouri State, 63-55.
From Five Years to Seven Days
After waiting over five years between Chevelle Herring's 31-point game on Dec. 13, 2008 vs. Kansas and McKenzie Fujan's 38-point outbust vs. DePaul on Jan. 4, 2014 it took just seven days for another Bluejay to join the 30-point club.
Herring's Influence? Last Three 30+ Point Scorers on Creighton Bench
With Herring in her first season as an assistant coach for the Bluejays, the last three players to reach the 30-point barrier all reside on the Bluejay bench (Fujan, Janning & Herring).
30-30 Club Grows
Marissa Janning (34 at Providence, 1-11-14) and Doug McDermott (MBB, 35 vs. Xavier, 1-12-14) each dropped 30+ points in victories for the Creighton women's & men's basketball squad. Earlier this season it was McKenzie Fujan (38 vs. DePaul, 1-4-14) and McDermott (30 at Seton Hall, 1-4-14).
Janning Earns BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll
Sophomore Marissa Janning earned her first selection to the BIG EAST Honor Roll on Jan. 13, averaging 25.0 points and 4.0 rebounds for the Bluejays against Providence
(W, 97-65 - 1/11/14) and at St. John's (L, 48-67 - 1/8/14).
