Driscoll kept his word.

Saturday, the Menace utilized a roster entirely comprised of area players to defeat Cocoa Beach of Florida, 3-1, in a United Systems of Independent Soccer Leagues' Premier League regional playoff game at McGrane Stadium. A win like this says we have a lot of local talent here," Driscoll said. Des Moines (16-7) advanced to the Rational semifinals Thursday at Kalamazoo, Mich. Its foes won't be known until Monday, a team official said. It is the furthest the team has advanced since it lost to Cocoa Beach, 3-1, in the 1995 national semifinals.

"We're quite a bit different than we were back then," said Driscoll, who was a defender for that 1995 team. We have a better talent pool and We're older and more mature. Anything short of winning it will be a disappointment." has been the story all season, Drake teammates Eric Wilson and Seth Modersohn provided the offense, accounting for all three goals. never played with anybody as long as I've played with Eric," is Des Moines' Nicholas Olivencia Takahashi during a soccer playoff Modersohn said of his roommate. First, it was Wilson tying the score, 1-1, at the 18-minute mark from an assist from Alfredo Moreno, who rebounded his own shot to set up the play.

Modersohn gave the Menace their first lead at 52 minutes when he ricocheted a hard shot off of the outstretched arm of a sprawling goalkeeper Anti Laitinen. Modersohn's tally made up for a point-blank attempt that clanked off the post just a minute earlier, causing a collective sigh in the crowd of 532 fans. Wilson's well-placed lead pass to Modersohn at 65 minutes gave Des Moines its third goal. Modersohn II FT ii'KTttnrai'iiffra By DAH JOHNSON Kki.istkr Staff Writk.r Altoona, la. It took 21.85 seconds to run the $53,460 Central Regional Challenge at Prairie Meadows Saturday, but it may take a couple days to unravel the outcome.

Favored Dashing Perfection and 12-1 long-shot Aint It Fun dead-heated for the victory in the Grade II stakes race, the premier race for older quarter horses at Prairie Meadows. The tie created "our worst nightmare," as an American Quarter Horse Association official reportedly told Prairie meadows officials. 1 The rules call only one horse from each regional to advance, to the finals of the $300,000 Challenge Championship, set for Nov. 14 at Lone Star Park near Dallas. In the event of a dead-heat, the qualifier is supposed to be determined by a shake of pills.

However, now organizers will meet to see if that rule should be waived so that both horse go to the finals. "We were all ready to when Neal Mullarky called and said, 'You may want to wait. We'll try to work it said Derron Heldt, Prairie Meadows' director of racing. Bombs away Prairie Meadows' "mad bomber" had a couple bombs dropped on him Saturday. The Las Vegas bettor that has been making huge wagers to show on Prairie Meadows' races in hopes of getting quick 10 percent profits, lost $50,000 on two bets Saturday.

Betting to show means the horse has to finish third or better. The bettor, whose identity is unknown, had lost only once until Saturday, when his fortunes took a big turn for the worse. In the second race, the bettor took a $15,000 loss Saturday when Elvis Rocks was disqualified from second and placed last for bumping C's Quick Choice. Then he made the biggest bet ever at Prairie Meadows, wagering $35,000 on Miss Hathaway, who ran last as the 4-5 favorite in the Windmill Stakes. In between, he won $2,500 with a $25,000 show bet on Global Diplomat, who won the fourth race.

Golf Chamblee surrenders lead Billy Mayfair and Steve Strieker moved past struggling Brandel Chamblee and took a one-stroke lead after three rounds of the Buick Open on Saturday at Grand Blanc, Mich. Mayfair shot a 7-under-par 65 while Strieker shot a 68 to tie at 12-under 204 at Warwick Hills Golf and Country Club. Chamblee shot a 72 to fall into third place. Mallon takes LPGA lead Meg Mallon shot a 5-under-par 67 Saturday in the second round of the Star Bank LPGA Classic at Beaver-creek, Ohio, taking a one-stroke lead. Mallon had a 13-under 131 total after 36 holes at Country Club of the North in this Dayton suburb.
