UT scored all three goals in the first half and came out attacking from the first whistle. Sophomore Alisha Ortiz found the back of the net first as she recorded her first goal of the season in the eighth minute. Senior Kasey Moore's cross rebounded off a UTSA defender to Ortiz, who sent the ball past UTSA keeper Nicoline Joergensen into the lower left corner, giving UT the 1-0 advantage. The Horns kept the pressure on the Roadrunner defense, scoring on their eighth shot just 10 minutes later. Freshman Amanda Lisberger headed a cross from Niki Arlitt back to freshman Courtney Goodson who was open in the middle of the box. Goodson fired the ball past Joergensen for her second goal of the season. Texas connected on its third and final goal of the game in the 43rd minute. Moore played a perfect long ball from center field to senior Stephanie Logterman, who was in the upper left corner of the 18-yard area. Logterman struck the ball just inside the right post for her team-leading third goal of the 2008 campaign. The UT backline dominated over the first half and didn't allow a UTSA shot until the 30th minute, an effort from 25 yards out. Texas outshot the Roadrunners 13-4 over the first period and went on to double UTSA's opportunities 16-8 by the end of the game. Petrucelli played 21 of his athletes over the match, with the majority of his starters getting a rest in the second half. With the win, the Longhorn mentor became just the seventh Division I coach to reach the 300 victory mark and the fourth to accomplish the feat in 18 seasons or less. Texas shutout its third opponent of the season and with just one goal allowed, recorded its best start in program history as no UT squad has allowed less than two goals over the first four matches. Texas returns to action as it hosts Arizona Sunday night. First whistle is scheduled for 7 p.m. Central at Mike A. Myers Stadium. • 2008-2009 SCHEDULES ANNOUNCED •  • TEXAS LONGHORN BASKETBALL FROM GOHORNS.COM •

LADY HORNS ANNOUNCE 2008-09 SCHEDULE -- Contests with two-time defending National Champion Tennessee, Arizona State, Mississippi and Purdue highlight the 2008-09 Texas women’s basketball schedule. The Horns will face a minimum of 10 squads that participated in the 2008 NCAA Tournament.
“Our non-conference schedule is designed to prepare us for the Big 12,” UT head coach Gail Goestenkors said. “We are really excited about this schedule and understand we will be challenged on a daily basis. Our goal is to learn and grow through these games, so we are prepared to make a long run in the NCAA Tournament.” The Horns tip off the regular season with five consecutive home games hosting the World Vision Classic where they will play Women’s NIT contender Dayton (Nov. 15), St. Mary’s [Calif.] (Nov. 16) and 2008 NCAA “Sweet 16” participant Old Dominion (Nov. 17). Texas will face Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (Nov. 20) and Furman (Nov. 23) at home, before heading to Boca Raton, Fla., to participate in the Florida Atlantic University Tournament on Nov. 29-30. The event features 2008 NCAA participant Georgia Tech, Tennessee Tech and host FAU. UT will travel to Ole Miss (Dec. 7) for the first time since 1988. The Horns return to Austin to face two-time defending National Champion Tennessee (Dec. 14) and Arizona State (Dec. 18), who advanced to the second round of the 2008 NCAA Tournament. The Surf ‘N Slam Classic (Dec. 28/30) in San Diego, Calif., is up next for the Longhorns. Participants include Sacramento State, Texas-El Paso, who saw second round action in last year’s NCAA Tournament, and San Diego State.

In Team USA's final game, Texas Ex Taylor Teagarden lined a double off the wall in right centerfield to plate a pair of runs and break a 4-4 tie in the fifth inning. He went 1-for 3 at the plate and threw out one attempted base stealer. Team USA fell behind early with Japan taking a 4-1 lead heading into the home half of the third, but knotted the game thanks to a three-run home run by Matt Brown. Tied 4-4, Team USA took the game over with four runs in the fifth inning. Teagarden hit his wall-banger to break the tie and Jeff Donald followed with a two-run dinger off the leftfield foul pole to inflate the cushion to 8-4 and the Red, White and Blue coasted to victory. Teagarden started five of the nine games for Team USA at the Olympics. He logged two doubles, two runs scored and four RBI. He was solid behind the plate, going errorless in 46 total chances and throwing out three of four attempted base stealers. With a win in the bronze medal game, Teagarden joined Kip Harkrider as the only two former Longhorns to ever medal in Olympic baseball. Harkrider earned a silver medal at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.
Texas will kick-off its fall calendar on Wednesday, Oct. 15 when it plays host to Odessa College at 7 p.m. The following week the Horns will host Western Texas College on Oct. 22 and they will wrap up the month of October with a game against Alvin Community College on Oct. 29. All of Texas' fall games are scheduled for a 7 p.m. start. The Longhorns play two games in November, starting with a tilt against Temple College on Nov. 5 and they conclude the fall schedule against McLennan Community College on Nov. 12. Texas returns 14 letterwinners from last year's squad which went 29-23-2 and earned a trip to the NCAA Houston Regional.
"Cat is obviously a great addition to our staff," Lenti said. "To have a player of her caliber who has experienced success at the level she has, be a member of our coaching staff will only help take our program to a higher level." Osterman, a fixture on the USA Softball scene since 2001, helped the national team to its second World Cup Gold Medal and the team Gold at the Pan American Games in Brazil last summer.

Behind the top-five finishes from Yarrison and Kelly and an All-America swim from sophomore Susana Escobar, Texas sits in eighth place with 51 points heading into day two. Yarrison completed her six dives with a total of 331.60 and held a 56.5 point lead over Hawaii’s Emma Friesen going into Friesen’s final dive. However, Friesen totaled 61.1 points on her final dive, also the final dive of the session, to win with 336.20 points. Kelly also added a career-best NCAA finish, earning her second All-America honor by taking fourth on the one-meter at 308.65. On Friday, Kelly landed her second top-five finish in as many nights, as she placed third in the three-meter diving event. Texas sophomore Susana Escobar smashed her previous personal best in the 1,650 freestyle to highlight the final session for the Longhorns Saturday evening at the 2008 NCAA Women's Swimming and Diving Championship. Escobar added 7 points to the Longhorns final tally Saturday, as Texas finished in 14th place with 87 points. Arizona captured the NCAA team title with 484 points, and Auburn took second with 348 points.
Texas finished the three-day meet in second place with 406 points, marking the seventh second-place finish to go along with nine NCAA Championships for 30th-year head coach Eddie Reese. Arizona captured the team title with 500.5 points, and Stanford took third with 344 points. California took fourth with 332.5 points, and Auburn rounded out the top five with 316 points. Remarkably, Reese has landed the Longhorns among the top-two team finishers in 16 of 30 NCAA meets and among the top three finishers in 23 of 30 meets. Texas’ second-place finish marks its best showing since the 2003 NCAA Championship, when UT placed second with 413 points. Texas sophomore Dave Walters captured the 200 freestyle in 1:32.56 Friday evening at the NCAA Men’s Swimming and Diving Championship, becoming UT’s fourth NCAA 200 freestyle champion and its first since Josh Davis in 1993. • TEXAS LONGHORN WOMEN'S TRACK - 2006 OUTDOOR NATIONAL CHAMPION •  • TEXAS LONGHORN TRACK AND FIELD FROM GOHORNS.COM •
The Longhorns picked up 51 points in Sunday’s final day of competition to finish with 59 points at the three-day meet, tying for seventh. The A&M women won their second consecutive Big 12 outdoor title, scoring 157 points. Nebraska was second (105 points), followed by Texas Tech (101.5), Kansas (76.5), Oklahoma (75) and UT and Baylor which tied for seventh.
The Horns, who earned their third top 10 finish in the last four years, finished behind champion Florida State (52), LSU (44) and Auburn (44) and three points ahead of Texas A&M (32). Texas freshman Maston Wallace won his first NCAA Championship on June 13, after being the only competitor to clear 17-6.50 (5.35 meters) in the pole vault. He is just the third Longhorn to win an outdoor pole vault national title along with Brian Hunter (2002) and Jacob Davis (1999). On the meet's final day, Hernandez won his first national title in the 800 meters, posting a 1:45.31, which broke the school record. It was the first 800 meter national title in Texas' history. And, Manzano finished his career the way he started it, with a national title in the 1,500 meters. The 2005 National Champion ran a 3:41.25 to beat the field by over a second. He led the race from wire to wire and fended off various runners throughout the last lap before pulling away with about 200 meters to go. Manzano ends his collegiate career with five NCAA Championships. • TEXAS TENNIS - TEXAS GOLF •  • TEXAS LONGHORN TENNIS AND GOLF FROM GOHORNS.COM • 2007-8 UT MEN'S TENNIS SCHEDULE 2007-8 UT WOMEN'S TENNIS SCHEDULE
Georgia (27-3) wins its second straight NCAA team title, as the Longhorns finish the 2007-08 season – arguably the finest in school history – as the NCAA runner-up with a 25-6 record. Texas swept all three spots on the NCAA All-Tournament doubles teams, as the Longhorn duos of freshmen Ed Corrie and Kellen Damico, senior Luis Diaz Barriga and Reyes Varela, and sophomores Dimitar Kutrovsky and Josh Zavala took all-tournament honors. Reyes Varela also made the NCAA All-Tournament Team at No. 6 singles. Texas opened the match with a win at third doubles, as Kutrovsky and Zavala dealt Travis Helgeson and Christian Vitulli an 8-3 defeat. Diaz Barriga and Reyes Varela finished off the doubles session with an 8-6 win at second doubles over Luis Flores and Javier Garrapiz, as Texas assumed a 1-0 lead by taking its sixth doubles point in as many matches at the NCAA Championship. Reyes Varela was broken early at sixth singles by Vitulli before pulling even at three-all in the first set. Trailing 4-3, Reyes Varela took the next three games to finish off the first set, 6-4. Reyes Varela took a 3-0 lead on his way to a 6-3 second-set win to close out the match and give Texas a 2-0 lead. However, Georgia rallied gradually on its way to victories in the next four matches to close out the title victory. UGA sophomore Nate Schnugg topped UT’s Damico at second singles, 6-4, 6-2, and sophomore Jamie Hunt outlasted Texas’ Diaz Barriga, 6-1, 6-4, at the fourth slot to even the tally at two. Texas’ Corrie rallied from one set down to take the second set over Georgia’s Flores at third singles, 6-1, but Flores returned the favor in the third set, winning 6-1 to give the Bulldogs a 3-2 lead. Texas’ Kutrovsky took the first set off of UGA’s Helgeson at first singles, 6-4, but Helgeson took the second set, 6-2, to force the decisive third set. Kutrovsky took a 3-2 lead in the final set, but Helgeson seized control and took the last four games to clinch the match and seal the title victory for Georgia.
Texas, who teed off in the morning alongside 14 of the 30 participating teams, finished its final round early in the afternoon tied for ninth place alongside Pepperdine and was forced to await the final-round finishes from the other 15 teams to determine whether it would earn one of 10 berths available for participation at the NCAA Championship. Texas will compete at the 2008 NCAA Men’s Golf Championship from May 28-31 in West Lafayette, Ind.
Texas battled chilly, windy conditions once again on Friday, but the Horns produced their second-lowest round of the tournament, wrapping up the 72-hole event with a 13-over 301 in the final round to tie for 17th place alongside TCU with 1,227 strokes at 75-over par. USC captured the team title by covering the 72 holes with 1,168 strokes at 16-over par. UCLA took second at 22-over par, and Duke, the three-time defending NCAA team champion, took third at 28-over par. Purdue placed fourth at 36-over par, and Arizona State took fifth at 37-over par. Arizona State’s Azahara Munoz defeated UCLA’s Tiffany Joh in a one-hole playoff to win the NCAA individual title. Munoz and Joh had ended the 72-hole event tied at one-under par.

“For the varsity this year was a huge improvement over what we have been able to accomplish over the last three years,” head coach Carie Graves said. “This is still not where we want to be, but I believe that we have made some great strides towards getting where we want to be.” “We have a solid core of very good rowers returning next year and an outstanding group of recruits arriving in the fall,” Graves noted. “This South/Central Regional was not what we wanted, but I believe it left a lot of very motivated rowers hungry for better results next year.”  • AROUND THE LONGHORNS • TEXAS LONGHORN ATHLETICS • AROUND THE LONGHORNS •
