COMMERCE CITY, Colo. -- There was no celebration after the game for Earthquakes interim coach Mark Watson. San Joses players prefer waiting for something a bit bigger. Sam Cronin scored the winning goal in the 52nd minute and the Earthquakes beat the Colorado Rapids 2-1 on Saturday night to give Watson his first win. "Well wait for something bigger, like a playoff win, but there will be one," San Jose midfielder Chris Wondolowski said. But there were some fireworks between Watson and Rapids coach Oscar Pareja as the two walked off the field following a testy game that featured a red-card ejection. "It wasnt the prettiest game," said Watson. "But the results were good." Neither coach would discuss their postgame conversation, but Pareja wouldnt deny that it had something to do with the red card to Rapids leading scorer Atiba Harris in the 18th minute. "Well keep it between us," said Watson. Colorado played the final 72 minutes without Harris, who was ejected for sliding into Alan Gordon. Gordon was on the ground when Harris slid into his right leg. "Ill have to look at the film before commenting on the play," Pareja said. "I can say we were frustrated by our play in the first half, but played better a man down in the second half." Steven Lenhart scored his first goal of the season in the 11th minute to give San Jose a 1-0 lead, ending a two-match scoreless drought. The Earthquakes, shut out in their last two games, had scored only 13 goals in their first 15 games this season. Watson replaced Frank Yallop after San Joses 3-0 loss to Real Salt Lake on June 1. The Earthquakes (4-6-6) had only one win in their previous 11 matches and were 0-5-2 on the road under Yallop. "He did a great job coming in here and commanding our locker room," Wondolowski said. "It was a bit similar to the way it was, but it was a great mix." Nathan Sturgis scored in the 67th for Colorado (5-5-5), which snapped a six-match unbeaten streak. The Rapids were 3-0-3 in that span. Neither team had a shot on goal before Lenhart outraced the defence for the ball a few strides past midfield. He drilled the ball from just outside the box into the upper right corner of the net past Clint Irwin to make it 1-0. The Rapids had their first scoring chance in the 30th minute when Dillon Powers put a shot into the breadbasket of Busch for a save. Deshorn Brown had a follow up shot, but sailed a header over the crossbar. Cronin extended the lead with his second goal of the season, picking up a loose ball and eluding Irwin as he came out beyond the penalty box then firing the ball into the back of the net. Irwin later stopped Lenhart from in close, Colorado regained possession and Brian Mullans cross set up Sturgis goal. Lenhart had a second goal waved off by an off-sides call in the 85th minute. San Jose goalkeeper Jon Busch caught a shot by Edson Buddle with a minute left. "Our play changed in the second half," Watson said. "We didnt have to take the game to them. They had to take the game to us."

RALEIGH, N.C. -- North Carolina State coach Dave Doeren got his first look Monday at how well his players have learned a new offense after a summer of study.The Wolfpack opened preseason practice with the question of who will start at quarterback at the helm of an attack installed by new offensive coordinator Eli Drinkwitz.Their grip of what were doing on offense is obviously a lot better than it was in the spring, said Doeren, who is entering his fourth season.Drinkwitz, who took over as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach after the dismissal of Matt Canada, had spent the past two seasons at Boise State and formerly worked with Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn. With his arrival and the departure of two-year starter Jacoby Brissett at quarterback, the Wolfpack spent the spring installing a control-the-tempo attack and hammering home the basics of that scheme.Monday marked the first opportunity for Drinkwitz and Doeren to see how much the players have learned from film study and individual work since the intrasquad scrimmage that wrapped up spring drills in April.Today there wasnt many alignment busts, Drinkwitz said. Theres always stufff youve got to get cleaned up because of the speed of it, but I thought today was a lot better as far as alignments and execution and playing fast.ddddddddddddThe Wolfpack return key contributors on offense in do-everything threat Jaylen Samuels and running back Matt Dayes, but the biggest question will be who starts at QB. Redshirt sophomore Jalan McClendon, redshirt freshman Jakobi Meyers and Ryan Finley -- a graduate transfer from Drinkwitzs previous stop at Boise State -- are in the running.It was Doerens first in-person look at Finley, who he said had good touch and command of what hes doing. But he said theres no rush to name a starter before the Sept. 1 opener against William & Mary.Im going to give it time, he said. I didnt make a decision in the spring for a reason. . Weve got a lot of situations in 29 practices theyre going to go through so well see how they handle it.---Follow Aaron Beard on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/aaronbeardap and the APs college football site at http://collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
