GEHA MISSING FROM ACTION
SOCCER (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Francis said Geha had an undischored medical condition that would not allow her to play. He said she wouldn't play until cleared by the medical staff.
Asked if a victory against SMU would mean more than others, Francis admitted he would prefer to improve on last season's result.
Through her first three seasons, the St. Thomas Aquinas product started 59 of 60 total games, registering three goals and two assists.

Senior midfielder Missy Geha didn't play against Auburn last weekend, something that has rarely happened since Geha arrived on campus in 2005.
FOOTBALL Linebacker wants more masculine nickname
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Notre Dame linebacker Brian Smith doesn't like his nickname.
"BYU quarterback Max Hall will struggle ...to match last week's 486-yard, two touchdown performance."
The 6-3, 245-pound Smith, who promises Notre Dame's season-opening game against San Diego State (0-1) on Saturday is "going to be violent," doesn't think "Puppy" fits.

Golf course's history more than a little unlucky
GOLF
Dozens of players were at Bellerine getting ready for the American Express Championship the morning of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. It was the first big event in St. Louis since the 1992 PGA Championship. Woods was playing in St. Louis for the first time in his career, but he only got in a practice round before the event was canceled.
Smith, while in high school, attended a coaches clinic and was described as a "young pup" by defensive coordinator Corwin Brown Smith.
St. Louis added yet another chapter to its dreary decade of golf history when the first round of the BMW Championship was washed out by storms that dumped 3 inches of rain on Bellerive Country Club.
"We do know how to deal with adversity," said Jerry Ritter, the general chairman of the BMW Championship and a Bellerive member who has seen his share of it.
ST.LOUIS — When the fans came out to watch Tiger Woods, there was no tournament. Arnold Palmer once played in a tournament, but fans couldn't get to the golf course.
"I want Pit, or Rot or Doberman. Just give me a masculine dog name." Smith said.
Three years later, the U.S. Senior Open came to town, and rain washed out the second round Friday. At least they got in the tournament, with Peter Jacobsen going 36 holes on a creaky hip Sunday to win.

Just as excitement was starting to build this summer, Woods announced he was having seasonending knee surgery.
