Emily Koenig named SLC Athlete of the Week after top performance last weekend PDF Print E-mail

It didn’t take freshman Emily Koenig long to make an impact on the Southland Conference.

Koenig ran the 4K route in 14 minutes and 31.88 seconds, making her the top runner in last weekend’s MSU Cross Country Stampede, while teammates Amanda McMahon and Perri Ford finished fourth and 12th with times of 14:52.08 and 15:35.58, respectively.

Pacing the way for the men’s team was senior Heinz Schwartzkopf, who finished in 13th place with a time of 19:44.12.

Midwestern State took first place in the meet.

Koenig jumps back into action this weekend when she’ll lead the Mavericks into the UT-Arlington Season Opener Saturday at Vandergriff Park.

Maverick Stadium Game of the Week: Week 1
Coppell Cowboys (1-0) vs. Arlington Colts (1-0)
7:30 p.m. Friday
Last meeting: Arlington 31, Coppell 29 (2009 5A playoffs)

UPDATE: Final Score - Coppell 42, Arlington 20


Coppell Cowboys

Last week: defeated Mesquite Horn 13-0
Player to watch: RB Cam McDaniel (218 yds, 2 TDs)
What you need to know: Coppell relies heavily on McDaniel, the team’s workhorse, who ran 218 yards on 44 carries in last week’s win over Horn. OLB Brandon Mullins leads a defense looking for revenge for last season’s playoff loss to Arlington.

Arlington Colts

Last week: defeated Plano East 49-48
Player to watch: QB Miles Onyegbule (138 pass yds; 219 rush yds, 5 TDs)
What you need to know: Onyegbule is a committed Texas wide receiver who was moved to quarterback for the 2010 season, and it didn’t take long for him to leave a footprint. He led the Colts to a wild 49-48 win over Plano East last week, and he looks to keep the Colts’ momentum as they get into the season.

Prediction: Arlington 34, Coppell 24

Fancy yourself good at Madden 2011? PDF Print E-mail
Written by Sam Morton, The Shorthorn sports editor

The first Madden tournament of the semester is on Tuesday at 8:00 p.m in the MAC Game Lounge.

The games will be played on both Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 to avoid the inevitable debate of students playing on different consoles than they’re used to. Based on the number of participants, the tournament will be either single or double-elimination. It’s free to play and registration starts at 7:00 p.m.

Editor's picks: Best teams to play as in Madden
Tennessee Titans - With Chris Johnson and Vince Young, whoever picks the Titans will have the most dangerous arsenal of speed in the game. Just make sure you can play defense, because you’ll score quickly with them.

Indianapolis Colts
- Having the best QB will always put the Colts in the top 3, simply because the developers seem to make sure every Peyton Manning pass ends up complete.

Dallas Cowboys - Loaded with talent, just make sure you know how to use Marion Barber, Felix Jones and Tashard Choice effectively. Add in a loaded defensive line and secondary, and the Cowboys are good to go.
