But the Lone Stars' inability to capitalize on their shots, combined with several great saves by Houston goalkeeper Susan Barra, kept the game in doubt until well into the second half. The Lone Stars scored their first goal with 22:30 remaining in the first half when defender Jenny Eden launched a long, bouncing pass into Houston's penalty box to Carol Ashmore.

Ashmore controlled the ball off her chest maneuvered around a charging Barra, then tapped the ball into an empty net to give the Lone Stars a 1-0 lead. "She's (Eden) a very dangerous player," McCain said. "Every ball she sends in from the right side has a chance to be a goal." tr Rebecca McEnteeAA-S -j yl Advancers. Rough-and-tough N.

The Lone Stars rebounded from consecutive shutout losses to the North Texas Heat which has clinched the division title, to improve their record to 4-2. "It was good to get back on track," said Lone Stars Coach Jon McCain.

Austin continued to outshoot Houston in the second half but was unable to add to its lead until 21:35 remained in the game. That's when Angela Molock lofted a long shot from outside Houston's penalty box over Barra, who had strayed out from the mouth of the goal, to give Austin a 2-0 lead and some breathing room. For Molock, who had entered the game 15 minutes earlier, it was her team-leading third goal of the season despite having started only one game. "If I get the ball, I'm going to shoot it" said Molock, who had four shots in 37 minutes.

Today Kim and his North Korea team enter that cave. They face the United States in a soccer game at Foxboro Stadium that they have to win to reach the quarterfinals of the Women's World Cup.

And the tiger is waiting. Both teams are coming off impressive victories. The United States mauled Nigeria 7-1 in Chicago on Thursday, the same day North Korea upset Denmark 3-1 in Portland, Ore. "In my country, women's football is young," said Kim, who played soccer professionally for 14 years and is now the coach of North Korea's women's team. "We don't have the experience or the success that the USA has had." But while North Korea knows plenty about the United States, thanks to the television coverage of U.S.

games over the last few years, the Americans know precious little about the North Koreans.

"I like to have played opponents." One way to have found out would have been to talk to Julie Murray, captain of Australia's World Cup team.

Murray and the Matildas, as the Aussies are nicknamed, made a three-game trip last year to one of the world's most forbidding countries, traveling to North Korea despite warnings from Australia's government not to do so. "We went over there confident but having no idea what they were like," Murray said. "The first two games ended 0-0 and the last match we won 1-0. Their defense is very strong, but they had incredibly biased referees. I've seen some" biased referees in my time, but it was just so blatant We'd be called offside when it wasn't and there were all sorts of fouls.

"I came away with bruises all over my back and down the backs of my legs and shins. But even though they were very, very physical and they got away with a lot they are still a compact and incredibly competitive side." The lesson for the U.S. players, obviously, is to expect to be fouled and to have the patience not to retaliate, which could lead to a red card and suspension from the next game or two.
