  • Cowgirl soccer stuns No. 8 Metro State

    Two first-half goals in a fiery start by the New Mexico Highlands offense, combined with a stellar defensive effort — including an eight-save afternoon for goalkeeper Kayla Clarke — paved the way to the Cowgirls’ 2-1 upset of Metro State on Sunday at Perkins Stadium.

    It was a coveted signature win for NMHU; Metro State came into the match ranked No. 8 in NCAA Division II women’s soccer.

    The Associated Press

    SAN DIEGO — It took a quarterback of Peyton Manning’s caliber to pull off this kind of comeback.

    Manning threw three touchdown passes in the second half and Tony Carter and Chris Harris scored off turnovers by Philip Rivers as the Broncos overcame a 24-0 halftime deficit to shock the San Diego Chargers 35-24 on Monday night.

The tax would cost consumers an additional 25 cents for $100 in purchases and generate an estimated $870,000 a year.
