Let me say this now: If you desire to have some redneck boyfriend who treats you like crap, then I am not the guy for you! I can honestly say that I do not even know anyone who appreciates a woman as much as I do! I do not take a woman for granted! I am looking for a special woman to be a part of my life.

Coincidentally, the shot also sent Mason coach Jac Cicala into a frenzy of his own. Cicala, who had disagreed with the officiating all night, finally reached the end of his fuse. What followed was a verbal assault the official will not soon forget, and an ejection that Cicala will not soon forget. "The game got way out of control, and that's the official's fault," Cicala said. "That's the worst officiating I've seen all year. It wasn't soccer out there tonight." JMU coaches also agreed that the ref- erees had an off night, though they saved their criticisms for after the game. "Some of the calls were pretty ridiculous," assistant coach Carrie Proost said. "The ref had missed some calls earlier that could have gone for us, so maybe that penalty kick was a make- up call." -».— t Though heavily disputed, the goal would stand, and that was all the Dukes would need. Goalie Suzanne Wilson capped off a terrific night with a pair of stellar stops in the final two minutes. Wilson notched nine saves en route to her second complete game shutout of the year.

PERSONALITY PROFILE On the Verge of Superstardom Young Hollywood actors with the makings of success. By Erin Dionne

DOB: January 8, 1979 Latest Films: Love Comes Down, The Claim This Canadian is as well known for her fierce devotion to political activism as she is for her acting. Polley, the daughter of actors, got her start appearing in commercials, plays and television shows. Her big breakthroughs in America were The Sweef Hereafter (1997) and Co (1999), in which she played a churl- ish supermarket checkout clerk. Polley moved into her own apartment at age 15, and dropped out of high school to embrace a number of Canadian political causes. She still writes editorials about the political apathy and sexism that run rampant in Hollywood. She even helped crew members strike on the set of her film Guinevere (1999). "When people ask me what I do, acting is the furthest thing from my mind," Polley told a Canadian newspaper. Visit young-hollywood.com/sarahpolley.htm. —a DOB: November 18, 1974 Latest Film: American Psycho Sevigny has been heralded as the "It Girl" in the New York social scene for years. Born and raised in suburban Connecticut, as a teenager she gravitated to the New York rave scene, where she was "discovered" as a model. She was also scooped up as an intern at Sassy magazine, where her sense of style influ- vi* enced many a young raver. She is a dedicated fashionista, and did the costuming for the movie Cummo (1997), written by her sometime boyfriend Harmony Korine. Another Korine film, Kids (1995), was Sevigny's first entree into the indie film world. In •-*> Kids she played a young teen who discovers she's HIV positive. It was Sevigny s latest role as a small town girl in Boys Don't Cry (1999) that has brought her the most attention—and an Academy Award nomination for best supporting actress. Co to chloe.netorom.se to see more about Chloe Sevigny.

— DOB: March 14, 1979 Latest Film: Here on Earth Klein is the quintessential American guy: clean-cut, bright-eyed and mostly innocent. He looks like the quarterback on your high school football team— which he was. Klein, born and raised in the midwest, was discovered acting in a high school play by Alexander Payne, who directed Election (1999). Klein's portrayal of Paul, the not so smart but very sweet football player who is pushed into running against Reese Witherspoon in the student council elec- tion, was dead on. Klein's next project was—of course—American Pie (1999). When not acting, Klein, a devout Christian, attends Texas Christian University in Fort Worth. Tex. Though he only has two films under his belt, it's a sure bet that Klein will not be disappearing from the big screen anytime soon. Check him out at young-hollywood.com/chrisklein.
