QUINCY - Thomas Becks scored twice as Rockhurst upset No. 4-ranked Southern Illinois University Edwardsville in the men's soccer opener for both teams.
         Playing in the Soccer Bowl Tournament in Quincy, the Cougars manages just four shots against Rockhurst.
         "There were two problems," said SIUE Coach Ed Huneke. "Becks scored on two great shots, and we just didn't take enough shots."
         SIUE's Matt Evers (Edwardsville) picked up five saves in goal. Rockhurst's Luke Denney collected four saves in the shutout.
         Becks scored at 19:14 on a low line drive from nearly 30 yards out. He picked up goal No. 2 at 71:42 from the top of the goal box.
         The Cougars now have to turn around and play Ashland (Ohio) in a 3:30 p.m. game in Quincy. Ashland, ranked No. 8 in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America/adidas preseason NCAA Division II Poll, also will be looking for revenge. SIUE defeated Ashland in the NCAA Tournament last season.
         "Everybody is going to be gunning for us," said Huneke. "We'll have to regroup and play more of our style of play unlike what we were able to do today."
