KNOXVILLE, Tenn. Cheap Maple Leafs Jerseys . -- Tennessee is turning one of its biggest weaknesses from last season into a strength.Alexa Middleton scored a career-high 21 points as No. 13 Tennessee capitalized on sizzling 3-point shooting Sunday to beat Navy 85-55 and win a home opener for the 17th consecutive season. Tennessee (2-0) hasnt lost a home opener since a 69-64 decision against Louisiana Tech in 1999.The Lady Volunteers shot 12 of 14 from 3-point range, with Middleton going 6 of 7. After making just 25.4 percent of its 3-pointers last season to rank last in the Southeastern Conference, Tennessee has shot 56.4 percent (22 of 39) from 3-point range this season.I know a lot of people last year said we couldnt shoot the ball, Middleton said. Were trying to make sure we can hit those open shots because people are sagging in on (center Mercedes Russell), and shes going to kick the ball out. Weve got to be able to hit those shots if we want to do well.This marks the first time Tennessee has made at least 10 3-point baskets in consecutive games since November 2011. Tennessee shot 10 of 25 from 3-point range Friday in a season-opening victory at James Madison.Russell had 18 points and 10 rebounds for Tennessee. Jordan Reynolds had 12 points, eight rebounds and seven assists. Diamond DeShields added 14 points.Ashanti Kennedy scored 16 points and Taylor Dunham added 14 for Navy (0-2).This game was a mismatch in terms of height.Navys tallest player was 6-foot freshman forward Laurel Jaunich, and its other four starters were 5-8 or shorter. Tennessees starting lineup included four players taller than 6 feet, including the 6-6 Russell.Navy still briefly led in the second quarter and only trailed 43-35 at the half, which caused the Lady Vols to receive a stern halftime lecture from coach Holly Warlick.My expectations for them are high, and these kids understand it, Warlick said. I saw things I havent seen in practice for whatever reason. Im just not going to tolerate no effort.Tennessee gradually put the game out of reach as Navy cooled off. After shooting 5 of 11 from 3-point range in the first half, Navy was 1 of 9 the rest of the way.Playing against Tennessee, everyone was really excited, Dunham said. We had a lot of energy and we were hitting shots. Everyone was making big plays. I wouldnt say our energy was that much different in the second half, but Tennessee definitely picked theirs up.THE TAKEAWAYNavy: A lack of height will force Navy to rely on its outside shooting this season. Tennessee outrebounded Navy 47-29. Through its first two games, Navy has been outrebounded 94-51 and has shot 19 of 46 from 3-point range.Tennessee: Middleton has shown remarkable scoring punch in the first two games of the season after averaging just 3 points per game last season and 3.8 points per game in 2014-15. The 5-9 junior had 18 points off the bench against James Madison and was even more productive Sunday. Middleton is 10 of 11 from 3-point range thus far.PAYING TRIBUTETennessee went through its pregame shooting drills wearing special Veterans Day T-shirts. The back of the shirts said Thank You and mentioned the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard.Navy wore purple T-shirts with the message We Back Pat to honor former Lady Vols coach Pat Summitt, who died June 28 after battling early-onset dementia, Alzheimers type.The Lady Vols gave Navys players miniature basketballs with messages thanking them for their serviceThere are so many crazy things going on right now, Warlick said. Weve all got to pull together. ... Our military is there to help us and to make sure I can be a female coaching womens basketball, and these young ladies -- black or white -- can go out and perform, and they have that opportunity and we pay for their education.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Santiago Lange lost count of how many times he broke down during the celebration on the shore of Guanabara Bay, where one of the more remarkable stories of the Olympics played out.It was many, said Lange, a 54-year-old Argentine who became the oldest medalist at the Rio de Janeiro Games.Lange, a cancer survivor and six-time Olympian, and crewmember Cecilia Carranza Saroli won the first Olympic gold medal in the Nacra 17 mixed catamaran class Tuesday at the sailing regatta.

They had a regatta yesterday and were disqualified unjustly. If not theyd be fighting for a medal. So, what more can you ask from life?The shore-side celebration lasted for several minutes, with several people waving Argentine flags. Theyd probably still be standing in the surf if it werent for media obligations and the medal ceremony.After receiving his gold medal, Lange hopped off the podium and ran over to hug his sons.Lange had to beat lung cancer before he had a chance to beat the fleet.He was diagnosed last year and had his left lung removed.I was very lucky to find it, Lange said. Probably if I wasnt travelling so much and wasnt so tired it wouldnt have been found. I see myself as very lucky.Lange and Saroli won the gold after finishing sixth in the medal race, rallying from last after being penalized at the start.They took the gold by just one point over Jason Waterhouse and Lisa Darmanin of Australia. Thomas Zajac and Tanja Frank of Austria won the bronze.Zajac said other sailors sometimes joke about Lange being the old man. But hes shown everyone. Hes here.On the busiest day of the regatta, Caleb Paine won the Finn class medal race and took the bronze, the first sailing medal for the United States at the Rio Games. Britains Giles Scott had clinched the gold two days earlier. Silver went to Vasilij Zbogar of Slovenia.Thats pretty awesome. I was thinking about that today, and adding to the U.S. medal count is pretty cool and Im excited about that, Paine said.Thhe Americans lead the all-time Olympic sailing medals table with 60. Adidas Auston Matthews Jersey. They were whitewashed at the London Games, failing to win an Olympic sailing medal for the first time since 1936.Ive worked for this for a long time and Ive been sailing for a very long time, so for good things to come together at the right time is what its all about, said Paine, who beat 2008 silver medalist Zach Railey during the selection process. Im happy to come away with a third but look forward to maybe down the line coming back again and going for gold.Three other gold medals were decided.Peter Burling and Blair Tuke of New Zealand clinched the 49er gold with a race to spare, capping a dominating four years in which their only loss came in a Rio regatta last month.
