was voted the Female Prep Athlete
of the Year by the Honolulu-Star
Bulletin in high school, is trying to
rebuild herself and start over with
the basics.
Garbin has been limited to no
more than kicking a ball, and can’t
play competitively. She has been fo
cusing on cardio workouts and build
ing up the strength in her leg again.
Even though Garbin hasn’t been
able to be there on the field for her
team, she is on the sideline, always
giving pointers and helping the new
comers. And whether or not things
would change if she was playing,
Garbin is still satisfied with her
team’s efforts.
“I’m very impressed on the whole
team’s effort — we have all the tools
and we know what we have to do,
it’s just that we don’t execute it,”
Garbin said. “We have this saying
* this season of ‘never die easy’ and
that’s what we’ve been doing, but
unfortunately we come up short
sometimes.”
Pac-10 notes
The Pac-lO’s presence on the na
tion’s soccer scene is ever-increasing.
The Pac-lO’s dominance is grow
ing, as it has six teams represented
in the top 20 of the Soccer America
poll. California can take pride in the
fact that four schools, — USG,
UCLA, California and Stanford —
are all in the top-15.
And with Stanford recently
ranked second in the nation in ath
letics dominance by Sports Illustrat
ed. the Cardinal women’s soccer
team has done more than their part.
The Cardinals are now ranked
No. 1 in the nation and have five
straight shutouts, including their
win over Oregon last weekend.

Oregon sophomore Elise Minvielle (15) is one of the players making up for Nicole
Carbin's loss. Minvielle has started three games and taken four shots for the Ducks.
Stanford improved to 13-1-0 overall
and 4-0 in the conference.
Stanford is led by seniors Marcia
Wallis and Gallie Withers on offense
and by sophomore Nicole Barnhart
in goal. Barnhart was recently
named Pae-10 Player of the Week
after recording 12 saves against USC
and UGLA.
Aside from the California schools,
Arizona State and Washington have
also found their places in the top-20.
And with all six schools helping to
lead the Fac-10 to the top, it is a
tough conference to play in and an
even tougher one to win in.

SAN FRANCISCO—The San Fran
cisco Giants don’t have a Rally Mon
key and the Anaheim Angels wouldn’t
let them use their Rally Barry on
Wednesday night at Pacific Bell Park.
That didn’t prevent the Giants
from pulling out a 4-3 victory that
evened the best-of-seven World Se
ries at two games each with Game 5
scheduled for tonight.
David Bell delivered thegame-win
ning hit in the bottom of the eighth
inning and sent rookie reliever Fran
cisco Rodriguez to his first loss in six
postseason decisions.
J.T. Snow opened the eighth with a
single to right field and landed on sec
ond base when catcher Bengie Moli
na was charged with a passed ball.
Reggie Sanders failed to advance
the runner when first baseman Scott
Spiezio made a sensational diving
catch, but Bell then lined a 1-0 fastball
through the middle for an RBI single.
Robb Nen, who reportedly had
problems getting loose in Game 1 of
the World Series, came on with little
notice in the ninth inning and regis
tered his second save of the World Se
ries and his seventh of the postseason.
The Giants had tied the score with
a three-run fifth inning that included
a tying RBI single by Benito Santia
go, who earlier had hit into a pair of
double plays with the bases loaded af
ter the Angels intentionally walked
Barry Bonds.
Bonds was allowed to swing in
just one of his four plate appear
ances. He was intentionally walked
three times, bringing his postseason
intentional-walk total to an amaz
ing 11 in 14 games.
The only time the Angels pitched
to him, Bonds grounded out against
Rodriguez in the seventh inning.
An inning later, without benefit of
any rally gimmicks. Bell delivered
the Giants’ biggest hit of the season.
Earlier, with the Giants down, 3-0,
Rueter reached base on an infield
single to start the bottom of the fifth.
Momentum swung in the Giants’ di
rection when Lofton laid down a bunt
that hugged the third-base chalk line.
Glaus, the third baseman, patiently
waited for the ball to roll foul. When it
did, reached down to pick it up.
In the second it took him to do so,
however, the ball mysteriously rolled
back into fair territory.
Once again, Lackey was in trou
ble, and this time there would be no
great escape.
Aurilia delivered his third hit of the
night, an RBI single into right-center
field. Kent ended some of his personal
frustration with a sacrifice fly to right
field, pulling the Giants within a run.
Up stepped Bonds.
Cue the chicken music.
Issue the intentional walk.
You know the routine.
Santiago had another chance.
This time, he reached out for a 1-0
fastball from Lackey and delivered a
game-tying RBI single into center field.
Giants manager Dusty Baker
pointed at his catcher and said,
“You’re the man, you’re the man.”
Santiago clapped his hands and
pointed back.
The game was even, and soon the
World Series was, too.
