Mark Gonzalez scored in the 66th and
75 minutes, rallying Chile to a 3-2 exhibi-

day night that sent the Americans to their

The 27th-ranked Americans led 2-1 at
halftime on goals by Brek Shea in the sixth
minute and Jozy Altidore in the 31st around
Roberto Gutierrez’s 10th-minute equalizer
in the game played in Rancagua, Chile.
U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann unveiled a
3-5-2 formation in his team’s 2015 opener,
but the Americans once again were tripped
up by their habit of fading in the second half.
With the defeat to No. 14 Chile, they have lost

victory in nine matches (1-5-3) since beating
Ghana in their World Cup opener last June.

East) raced out to a 50-38 half-
time lead.
The lead remained in dou-
ble digits until center Lyndsay
Oswalt scored seven points
during a 9-0 Columbia Basin
run that brought the Hawks
(14-6, 6-0) within four points
with four minutes to play.
“It was one of those things
where they creep up on you and
then you realize it and you’re
like, ‘Oh, crap.’” Heugly said.
The Hawks didn’t take their

son, drew contact on a drive at
other end and tied the game by
converting both free throws.
But with less than a second
separating the game clock and
shot clock, Caballero and the
Hawks were able to pick their
last shot.
Caballero’s drive may have

for the T-Wolves, but for the
Hawks it was just another play
in a game that required a narrow
focus and short memory to win.
“We just forgot about who
was winning, who was losing,
how bad we were doing,” Co-
lumbia Basin coach Daron San-
to said. “So they just did a great
job of focusing one possession
at a time, that’s what got us
back in.”
Both coaches agreed expe-
rience was a big factor in the
outcome.
“They have a lot more expe-
rience playing in close games
than we do,” Driver said. “It
could have been the key, it

the end when they make that

“We’re in that situation all
the time,” Santo said. “We have
been starting really slow and
it’s just frustrating. The game
went just as the other games

got to us with their speed and
we were down 20 just like that.

The Hawks devoted an extra
defender to Heugly in the sec-
ond half, but Santo said they
weren’t overly concerned with
stopping her. The way he saw
it, every shot Heugly took was
one not taken by Moore, who
entered the game second in the
NWAC at 23.25 points a game.
“We had someone shadow

Riley Gerlinger contributed
10 points and Heugly added a
team-high 10 rebounds.
But the T-Wolves were
out-rebounded 55-37 and gave
up 14 offensive boards, which
Driver said contributed as much
to the loss as the lack of close-
game experience.
“Giving them two, three,
four possessions every trip
don’t really didn’t help,” he
said. “Our rebounding was re-
ally pretty bad the last 10 min-
utes of the second half. Teams
that shoot as well as CBC does,
you can’t give them that many
opportunities at the hoop be-
cause they’re going to knock
one down.”
It was an offensive putback
by Grier that brought CBC
within 75-74 and raised her
team-high total to 20 points.
She also added 10 rebounds,
and Caballero also had a dou-
ble-double with 17 points and
16 rebounds. Oswalt nearly
joined them with 13 points and
nine boards. The Hawks shot
42.9 percent (30 of 70) for the
game and 45 percent (18 of 40)
in the second half.
The T-Wolves shot 40 per-
cent (30 of 75) in the game but
just 33.3 percent (12 of 36) in
the second half.
“I think we played our hearts
out until the end of the game,”
Heugly said. “I’m proud of my
team. I wish we could have
pulled out the win, but I’m still
proud of it.”
