The other big difference was, he was just definitely more locked in today than the last time we played them." Waterloo starter Chris Pack battled the Woodchuck lineup through eight solid innings, allowing nine hits and two runs. But the Bucks didn't collect their first hit until Pat Stover singled in the fourth. Finally, Waterloo found some offense in the eighth, when Josh Lyon ripped a leadoff triple and scored on a Troy White single. That's where the scoring stopped, and Butt ended the rally with a soft, ground ball out. "We can't figure (Butt) out and neither can the rest UNI TRACK Paulsen named interim cross country coach From page D1 track and field staff," said Geopfert in the press release.

"I'm excited to contribute to this coaching staff and this program and to continue the tradition and success the University of Arkansas is noted for. "The University of Arkansas is the best place in the country to coach collegiate track and field. I'm going to do everything I can to help carry on the tradition of Razorback track and field." Beyond his relationship with Bucknam and Doug Case, another former UNI assistant coach on the Arkansas staff, Geopfert has ties to his new home. In the press release, Geopfert noted that he has family in Arkansas and his father lived in the state as a child. As for Bucknam, he pointed to Geopfert's success as a UNI assistant and head coach.

In his one season at the helm, Geopfert led the Panthers to Missouri Valley Bucks bits Score: Woodchucks 3, Bucks 1 Bucks record: 14-16 second half, 24-39 overall Stat leader: Outfielder Pat Stover had half of Waterloo's four hits against Wisconsin starter and winning pitcher, Bryce Butt Game changer: The Bucks scored for the only time in the eighth inning and put the potential tying run at second, but Butt ended the threat with a ground ball out, one of 20 on the afternoon.

Conversely, the Bucks' drive for a second- -half title in the South Division and a spot in the playoffs doesn't look good at all.

Basically, Waterloo must win its last five games and hope that first -place Madison loses the rest of the way. And the Conference track championships both indoors and outdoors. Geopfert replaces Dick Booth, who was not retained after 27 years as an assistant at Arkansas. "(Geopfert) is definitely a young coach on the rise and the tremendous amount of success he has had is definitely notable," said Bucknam in the Arkansas press release." Back at UNI, the process of preparing for the upcoming year began with Wednesday's selection of Dave Paulsen as the interim cross country coach. Paulsen has head coaching experience and deep roots at UNI.

A track athlete for the Panthers from 2000 through 2004, he earned allAmerica honors seven years ago as a member of the distance medley relay team. Paulsen served as a volunteer coach at UNI for three years and worked with the XL Sports Acceleration Program, a joint venture between the university and the Cedar Valley Medical Specialists. From there, Paulsen spent 2007 and 2008 as the head Bucks need slumps from La Crosse and Battle Creek, the teams in second and third, respectively. "We have to win the next five games," said Lauritson. "It's not any more complicated than that." Added Giller, "You still come here to get better as a baseball player and to play for the Waterloo Bucks and win games.

He returned to UNI for the 2008-2009 season as an assistant to Geopfert. According to Dannen, Paulsen handled many of the operational chores in the Panther cross country program under Geopfert. "I don't think we'll see a lot of change in cross country," said Dannen. Asked if he would be a candidate to be the permanent head country coach at UNI, Paulsen declined comment. The Panthers' interim head man did say he's been contact with 1 his runners to discuss the upcoming season.

Cross country at UNI officially begins Aug. 21, with the first meet set for Sept. 4 the Hawkeye Invitational in Iowa City. "I'm excited about the opportunity to be the interim coach at UNI," said Paulsen, a Waverly -Shell Rock graduate. "I'm looking forward to moving on and getting the kids ready to compete.

We want to have a great year, and I want to give it to them." NFL Teams blow whistle on tweets DAVIE, Fla. (AP) The only tweets during the Miami Dolphins scrimmage Saturday will come from the officials' whistles. The Dolphins are at the forefront of an NFL clampdown on Twitter and other social media, with new restrictions imposed on players, reporters and even spectators. Miami's secretive Bill Parcells regime prohibits fans and media at training-camp practices from tweeting, blogging or texting. At least six other teams have also imposed such restrictions on reporters, even though the workouts are open to the public.

Twitter intolerance is no surprise in a league where paranoia is part of the playbook. Like many Ameri- cans, coaches are anxious and a little confused about the rapid pace of change in communication. "I don't really have a Twitter policy," Denver coach SPORTS WRAP -UP Prep sports Waterloo West will begin practices for the fall athletic season on Monday, Aug. 10.
