U. Zach LaVine Womens Jersey .S. Olympic womens basketball team players reflected on a day filled with powerful and emotional moments at Carmelo Anthonys Monday town hall meeting in Los Angeles with community leaders, police officers and teenagers.Team USA and Minnesota Lynx guard Seimone Augustus discussed how recent police-related shootings in her hometown of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, had affected her. ?On July 5, a Baton Rouge police officer shot and killed Alton Sterling, a black man outside of a convenience store. Three police officers were also shot and killed in Baton Rouge on July 17.She knows that could have easily been someone she knew.I lived three or four blocks from where the [Sterling] incident happened, she said. Its always in the back of my mind that it could have been a relative, a friend, a teammate, a high school classmate.Shes sad to see what has happened to her hometown, where relations have broken down.?I have relatives in law enforcement as well. I dont want to see it happen either way. That could have been an uncle or cousin, Augustus said. I have plenty of relatives in (Baton Rouge) law enforcement. I dont know what we have to do to make it more proactive for the officers to be there in the communities to shrink the divide that is there.[The town hall meeting] was amazing, USA teammate Brittney Griner said. It was good to have officers come out, to have the community members come out and us as players come together and voice and answer questions. For the cops not to be forced to be there and be there on their own was special. To hear both sides and try to come to a common ground. When something good starts happening, good outcomes start happening.Griner can also see both sides. Her father was a police officer for many years in Houston. She also has other family members in law enforcement.I worry about my sister, I worry about my dad who wants to go back into law enforcement, Griner said. I told him if you do go back, Id rather you go behind a desk or teach. My dad was a good cop. I think more good cops should go back and give back that experience to the academy to help educate future police officers.Griner was saddened by all that has happened lately in Minnesota, Baton Rouge, Dallas and other cities.All the violence towards black lives saddens me, she said. We fight for freedom, we fight for equality. We fight for all these things, and were not holding up for what we stand for. Its a change that needs to happen.Griner and her Phoenix Mercury teammates, along with two other teams, were fined $500 by the league for wearing their plain black shirts because it was a uniform violation. That fine was later rescinded.The Minnesota Lynx started the social activism in the WNBA, wearing T-shirts and holding a pregame news conference earlier this month before the Mercury, Indiana Fever and New York Liberty wore their plain black shirts. Augustus said it was coach Cheryl Reeve who first had the idea to do something. Reeve is also an assistant with the U.S. Olympic team.The Lynx activism spread and galvanized the WNBA players.Thats what I am impressed about most, said Tamika Catchings, who spoke at the town hall. The fact that all 144 players in the WNBA came together on this issue and wanted to make sure their voices were heard. I think when you look at the power of African-American women and being able to step up and join causes and support other brothers, thats what its all about.While the WNBA is on break for August during the Olympics, the players will continue to try and come up with ideas to further show the importance of this issue. Just dont expect any sort of activism at the Olympics on the court. The International Olympics Committee frown upon any social activism displays, saying that the Games are not a place for proactive political or religious demonstrations.Right now, were focused on these two weeks, Diana Taurasi said. If it comes up, though, we wont shy away from it.Information from the Associated Press was used in this report.? Kris Dunn Authentic Jersey .

Nike Air Force 1 Low Dame .MLS received an overall grade of B+ with a combined grade of 84.7, up by a significant 1.5 percentage points from the leagues 2015 overall grade.Richard Lapchick, the author of the report, said MLSs improvements are encouraging.The league office is doing really in the racial and gender hiring practices and were seeing some increases at the team level as well, so thats definitely a plus, Lapchick told The Associated Press on Thursday.Laphchick said that MLS Commissioner Don Garbers office has been the pacesetter with an A+ in racial hiring and an A- in gender hiring and added, The teams need to follow the Leagues example more closely.For its racial hiring practices, MLS earned 88.5 points, up a substantial 2.1 percentage points from 86.3 in 2015. This resulted in a B+, the same letter grade as last year.MLS received an A- for head coaches, a B+ for team professional administration, and a B for team senior administration and assistant coaches when it came to racial hiring practices. There was a major improvement in the general manager position where four GMs who were people of color were hired, prompting the grade to rise from an F in 2015 to a B+ this year.MLS earned a B for gender hiring practices, the same letter grade as in 2015.

The team senior administration received a C- and team professional administration received a C+. There was also major improvement for gender in senior administration where the MLS jumped from an F in 2015 to a C- in 2016, although Lapchick said in his report that area remains a serious concern.MLS earned an A+ for its outstanding diversity initiatives for the eighth consecutive season.Some other notes from the report:- The MLS League Office continued to be the standard-bearer for the entire league with people of color comprising 36.4 percent of all professional positions, while women filled 37 percent of these positions.- People of color with head coaching positions increased from 10 percent in 2015 to 20 percent in 2016.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N. Nike Silver Air Max 97 .J. -- A bit hobbled and banged up, Russell Wilson gets some time now to rest up.Thats good news for the Seattle Seahawks, who went 3-1 despite limps, aches and pains for their star quarterback to start the season.Ive got two full weeks? a wide-eyed Wilson asked after a 27-17 victory over the New York Jets on Sunday. I cant wait.The Seahawks, who have been without starting running back Thomas Rawls with a broken bone in his leg, dont play again until Oct. 16, when theyre home against the Atlanta Falcons.When we come back two weeks from now, were going to get healthier, coach Pete Carroll said. The roster that weve talked about is going to show up.That might be bad news for everyone else.Especially when considering how solid, other than a 9-3 loss at Los Angeles in Week 2, Seattle has been to start the season.Id love to play next week, said Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman, who intercepted Ryan Fitzpatrick twice. I wouldnt mind.Wilson was sharp and efficient despite playing with a sprained knee, throwing three touchdown passes against the Jets.Wilson injured the medial collateral ligament in his left knee last week against San Francisco and wasnt his usual mobile self in this one, but his arm was plenty good. He finished 23 of 32 for 309 yards while wearing a brace on his leg as the Seahawks won at MetLife Stadium for the first time since beating the Denver Broncos in the Super Bowl in 2014.The quarterback probably needs a week or two, Sherman said. He played a fantastic game, nonetheless, to be in the position hes in, but its going to be a great break for us.Wilson missed the first snap of his career due to injury last weekend after getting pulled down by San Franciscos Eli Harold. He has also dealt with a sprained right ankle from the opener against Miami.I thought it was a sterling effort by the quarterback, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said. Everybody was wondering and questioning what was going to happen and how he would be able to do it. He just did it. This is the best hes looked in the last few weeks.Here are other things to know from the Seahawks victory over the Jets:IMPRESSIVE COMPANYWilson broke a tie with Tom Brady and Dan Marino for the fifth-most wins in a quarterbacks first five seasons with 49.The others ahead of the Seahawks QB: Atlantas Matt Ryan (56), Baltimores Joe Flacco (54), Pittsburghs Ben Roethlisberger (51) and Cincinnatis Andy Dalton (50).SINKING SHIP?Fitzpatrick has nine interceptions in his last two games, but the Jets arent about to bail on him just yet.Brandon Marshall insisted that his confidence in Fitzpatrick has not wavered , even with the Jets 1/3 and staring at the season possibly spiraling with road games up next against Pittsburgh and Arizona.He bristled when he was asked if the Jets need to assess the quarterback spot. New York also has former starter Geno Smith on the roster, along with 2015 fourth-rounder Bryce Petty, whos recovering from a shoulder injury, and Christian Hackenberg, the Jets second-rounder this year.I am. Going down. In a boat. With Ryan Fitzpatrick. OK? You got it? said Marshall, measuring his words. So can you not ask me any more questions about that? I am. Going down. In a boat. With No. 14.GRAHAM IS GOLDENJimmy Graham, who was questionable with back spasms earlier in the week, had six catches for 113 yards, including an impressive 17-yard one-handed grab in the opening quarter, while giving the Jets fits all game.He missed the last five games of last season with a torn right patellar tendon, but appears to be getting on the same page with Wilson. Graham has 16 catches for 266 yards and a TD this season.Hes a bad, bad man, Wilson said. He can do anything. He can make any play, any catch. Hes a special player.Added Carroll: Hes just a monster out there.STUBBORN SEAHAWKSSeattle entered as the No. 1-ranked defense in the NFL, and stifled New York enough to live up to that lofty positioning.The Jets had 229 yards of total offense at halftime, but gained just 76 the rest of the game. The Seahawks also sacked Fitzpatrick four times and intercepted him three times. Matt Forte was held to just 27 yards on 14 carries for a 1.9 average.INJURED JETSNew Yorks Darrelle Revis left the game with a hamstring injury in what has been a rough start to the season for the star cornerback. Revis has given up a handful of big plays, but was solid against the Seahawks until getting hurt.Starting right guard Brian Winters came out in the second quarter with a concussion after he banged helmets with a Seahawks defender -- and was called for an unnecessary roughness penalty. He was replaced by Brent Qvale, who had started at right tackle.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Nike Air Max 97 Gold .

LOUIS -- The New Orleans Saints looked like a team playing out the string. NEW YORK -- Top-seeded Novak Djokovic spent a short day in the office at the US Open on Friday, lashing forehands and feathering drop shots for only 31 minutes before Mikhail Youzhny threw in the towel with a hamstring pull while trailing 4-2 in the first set.It was still a longer workday than Djokovic experienced Wednesday, when he never punched in at the National Tennis Center at all. Jiri Vesely, his second-round opponent, issued a walkover because of a sore arm.Kyle Edmund, Djokovics next opponent, might be hiding under the bed in his hotel room right now, worried about what fate might have in store before he meets Djokovic on Sunday.Coming into this tournament, Djokovic was the one worrying about injuries. A tender right arm and a sore left wrist that flared up out of nowhere during the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro were of great concern. Suddenly, his lack of match play since a first-round singles loss in the Olympics to Juan Martin del Potro is a potential issue.Has the extra time off been a curse or a blessing?Considering the stage of the season, the amount of matches Ive played, what Ive been through with my body, I think its actually good to have some days off, and then shorter matches, Djokovic said Friday.But in the same breath, the Serbian star added, From the other side, sure, as you are approaching second week of the Grand Slam you want to have match play and you want to have time spent on the center court before you face one of the top players.Djokovic is a master of equivocation, but he doesnt hesitate to say this is the first time he has dealt with an interlude of this kind at a Grand Slam event. He has had at least one walkover before; Fabio Fognini pulled out before their quarterfinal at the 2011 French Open. And at the Rome Masters in 2008 he advanced thanks to back-to-back retirements early in his quarterfinal and semifinal. Nicolas Almagro and Radek Stepanek lasted a set each on that occasion.Here in New York, Djokovic will have played only six games in five days when he takes the court Sunday. Hes the first man in the Open era to win three matches by playing only four complete sets.Djokovic didnt exactly complain about his light workload, but Friday he did ask if he might be allowed to remain on Arthur Ashe Stadium court for an unscheduled 45-minute practice session. His wish granted, Djokovic eagerly shed his dressy black-and-white attire and slipped into a gym rats gray T-shirt.Co-coaches Boris Becker and Marian Vajda fed him balls as Djokovic worked on his serve with a practice partner.. Adidas Superstar Scontate. He missed many serves and frequently grabbed the back of his neck with his left hand and appeared to twist his head, as if trying to work out a kink. But he dropped that gesture once he began to play points and showed no signs of being impaired. He said he was pleased with the progress he has made with his fitness.The arm is doing very well, he said. Everything is going in the right direction. I feel significantly better now than I have just at the beginning of the tournament.Djokovic might be rounding into form in a nick of time. Andy Murray, the No. 2 seed, has shown no sign of taking his foot off the gas after his triumph at Wimbledon and gold-medal performance in Rio. Once a reliably unreliable player despite his undisputed place among the elites, Murray is playing with an uncharacteristic degree of consistency. He might be on a career-shaping run, a version of Djokovics glorious run in 2011.Rafael Nadal, seeded No. 4, is as much of a sleeper here as a man of his stature can be; people are talking about him without really talking about him. His confidence is growing by the day, and theres scant evidence of the anxiety that hounded him during his prolonged slump.Del Potro, the 2009 US Open champion, is everyones darling because of all he has been through with his injuries. Hes just crushing the ball. Delpo can hurt Djokovic, as he has done four times in 15 matches and twice in the Olympics (before Rio, del Potro defeated Djokovic in the 2012 bronze-medal match in London).Thats just for starters. No. 3 Stan Wawrinka, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Kei Nishikori and Gael Monfils are all dangerous veterans and playing well.Djokovic appeared to have the tour in a stranglehold as little as two months ago, as Wimbledon unfolded. His grip has been loosened considerably, and people have been reminding him of it. He said he doesnt really mind.There were stages in my career where I was very much into it, following who says what, Djokovic said, referring to all the speculation about whether hes slipping. That affected my mind. Not anymore.Djokovic said hes more self-reliant now. Hes less influenced by the opinions and theories of others. I know what are my capabilities and I know what I am able to do, what Im able to achieve. If I play the right tennis, I can win against anybody in any surface.All he needs now is the chance to go out and advance in the tournament by actually playing matches.

PITTSBURGH -- Pirates manager Clint Hurdle preferred to look ahead, and it was hard to blame him.Domingo Santana had his first career two-home run game, Jonathan Villar hit his first grand slam and Chris Carter connected for his 32nd homer as the Milwaukee Brewers rolled to a 10-0 victory over the sputtering Pirates on Sunday to complete a three-game sweep.The Pirates have lost six in a row since sweeping a four-game series at Milwaukee last weekend, falling 3 1/2 games behind the St. Louis Cardinals for the second National League wild card. The Pirates host the Cardinals in a three-game series beginning Monday.This ones done, Hurdle said. Learn from it. The schedules been fortunate for us. We get to chase the team that were chasing. We all need to hit the reset and refresh button and go on. Lamenting about the past doesnt do anybody any good.The Brewers are in fourth place in the NL Central with a 60-76 record.Santana, who has six home runs while being limited to 54 games this season because of a shoulder injury, hit a solo shot off starter Steven Brault (0-2) to open the scoring. The third-year outfielder hit the second of back-to-back homers with Carter, who had a three-run drive, off rookie left-handed reliever Kelvin Marte during a five-run ninth.Santanas first homer was the only run Brault allowed in five innings.Making his fourth career start, Brault gave up four hits with five strikeouts and three walks. Both of his losses have come against the Brewers.The first three innings, I was still kind of rushing and everything was fast, Brault said. I was trying to breathe and trying to slow down, but I was having a hard time with it. As the game went on, I got better and better.Villar connected as a pinch-hitter with two outs in the sixth inning off Juan Nicasio to break open a 1-0 game. Normally the Brewers third baseman, Villar did not start for a second straight day because of a sore left knee that was the result of the Pirates Josh Harrison sliding into him Friday night.It was the 12th home run of the season for Villar, adding to the four-year veterans career high, as he helped the Brewers win their fourth straight game.Chase Anderson (8-11) scattered five hits over five innings while striking out two and waalking none as he combined with three relievers on a six-hitter.

We just want to keep growing together and come back next year and have a better season.The Brewers allowed four runs in the series.Theres room for improvement all over the place on offense, Hurdle said.Santana had three of the Brewers 13 hits. Carter finished with two hits and three RBI and Keon Broxton doubled twice.Harrison had two hits.TRAINERS ROOMBrewers: With Villar limited to pinch-hitting, INF Yadiel Rivera was recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs to provide depth.Pirates: RHP Gerrit Cole (elbow inflammation) is on schedule to be activated from the disabled list Sept. 12 and start at Philadelphia.

GURNEE, Ill. Wholesale China NFL Jerseys . -- Charley Hull is fresh as a daisy, and England is dreaming big.Hull and surprising England grabbed the lead in the UL International Crown on Saturday, and the United States advanced with a sweep against Japan.Hull, who missed Fridays four-ball session with a fever and trouble with her asthma, teamed with Melissa Reid for a 3-and-1 victory over sisters Ariya and Moriya Jutanugarn of Thailand. Holly Clyburn and Jodi Ewart Shadoff routed Pornanong Phatlum and Porani Chutichai 7 and 5, helping seventh-seeded England to a Pool B-best nine points.We couldnt have asked for much of a better day than we got today, Clyburn said.The U.S., which began the day with just three points, turned in its best performance so far in the rare team event on the LPGA Tour. Lexi Thompson and Cristie Kerr posted their second straight win with a 4-and-2 victory over Ai Suzuki and Ayaka Watanabe, and Stacy Lewis and Gerina Piller surged to a 3-and-1 win over Haru Nomara and Mika Miyazato.Taiwan also wrapped up a spot in the fourth session before a lingering thunderstorm postponed play with two Pool A matches still on the course, leaving two spots open for Sundays 10 singles matches. The country with the most points at the end of the weekend wins a silver trophy, to go along with $100,000 and a crown for each of its four players.Before the rain drenched the course, the players had to play through hot and humid conditions at the Merit Club about 40 miles northwest of Chicago.Have you ever seen the movie `Good Morning, Vietnam, where Robin Williams goes off into the tangent where its like, its hot, its sticky, its hot, a smiling Kerr said. It was pretty much like that.The 20-year-old Hull struggled to breathe for much of Thursday night and got some oxygen and an IV to help her feel better. She watched the back nine of Reids gutsy effort playing by herself in a close loss to Japan, and felt fresh as a daisy heading into the third session.Shaking off a slow start, Hull and Reid won five straight holes to go from two down to three up. Hull had three straight birdies before she eagled the par-5 eighth. Reid closed out the string with a birdie on No. 9.Me and Mel both played awesome, so it was fun, Hull said.England did not make the field for the inaugural event in 2014, won by Spain with 15 points. It was considered an afterthought coming into this week, but the strong start has the women dreaming of what a victory could do for the sport in their country.You know, if we did win, hopefully it would inspire not only girls but women and men and some young guys and boys and stuff to want to take up the club and think that its fun and want to learn how to play this game, Reid said.The second-seeded U.S. was swept by England on Thursday, but it rebounded with three points against Thailand in the second session and picked up even more momentum against Japan. Piller finished her match with a birdie on 17, and Thompson beat the oncoming storm with a closing eagle on 16.We stuck with our pairings, and we just tried to stay positive with it and go out and play aggressive, Thompson said. We knew we had to make birdies and just go for it.Piller and Lewis were tied with Nomura and Miyazato before Piller rolled in a birdie from the fringe on 12. Piller got a good look at the putt when Lewis left one just short from right in front of her ball.Any time you get a free read is huge, and after she hit it, she told me what she put it at and where it ended up, Piller said.---Jay Cohen can be reached at http://www.twitter.com/jcohenap China Jerseys Cheap .Y. -- Leading 3-0 with only 11:25 left, the Colorado Avalanche committed a seemingly meaningless penalty to give the New York Islanders a power play.

LOS ANGELES -- The champagne is chilling as the Los Angeles Dodgers are close to icing another National League West title.Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw (11-3, 1.73 ERA) takes the mound Saturday and opposes Colorado Rockies right-hander Chad Bettis (13-7, 4.79) in the third contest of the four-game series at Dodger Stadium.A win by the Dodgers and a loss by the San Francisco Giants, who are in San Diego, allows Los Angeles to claim a club-record fourth straight NL West championship.Although Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, who is in his first season, is preaching caution, he realizes one of the goals for his club is near.We want to clinch as fast as possible, Roberts said. Its as simple as that.The Dodgers are close to another postseason appearance despite another injury rearing its ugly head in their starting rotation. Left-hander Scott Kazmir returned to the mound Friday night after a one-month absence with neck issues but lasted only an inning after suffering right intercostal spasms, which affects the muscles between the ribs.Kazmirs injury is just the lastest that has plagued the teams starters, including ones to Brett Anderson, Brandon McCarthy, Rich Hill, Hyun-Jin Ryu and Kershaw.Kershaw, though, has been solid since his return from a herniated disk last month. In his last appearance against the Giants, he allowed an unearned run on three hits in six innings but did not factor into the decision in the Dodgers 2-1 victory. Kershaw struck out seven and walked one.At homme, Kershaw has been almost unbeatable. Cheap NBA Jerseys Authentic. In nine starts this season, Kershaw is 7-1 with a 1.19 ERA and has limited the opposition to a .154 batting average. Kershaw has struck out 80 batters against four walks, while posting a 0.59 WHIP.Kershaw is 17-5 with a 3.20 ERA in 31 career starts against the Rockies. He has limited the Rockies to a .220 average, while striking out 217 against 67 walks.Kershaw last faced the Rockies on Sept. 14, 2015, allowing one run on three hits in seven innings and recording the win in the Dodgers 4-1 victory. Kershaw struck out five and issued two walks on 105 pitches.Bettis is enjoying one of his best seasons, earning career highs in wins, starts (30) and innings (174 2/3). Bettis is 6-5 with a 4.84 ERA in 17 road starts this season.He faces the Dodgers for the second time this season. On July 2, Bettis allowed four runs on six hits in a 6-1 Dodgers victory.Bettis has a 0-1 mark with a 4.91 ERA in seven games (four starts) against Los Angeles.Bettis works against a team intent on punching its ticket to the postseason. Robert is confident the Dodgers offense will find a way to prevail.I do like this lineup, Roberts said. One through eight were pretty good and also with the guys we have the bench just adds to our depth. Weve got guys who can come off the bench and hit, which makes us a dangerous club.

TWICKENHAM -- Its the mark of a good side that England can beat a team like South Africa without hitting top gear. Nike Air Max 97 Uomo . They looked rusty at stages, struggled with discipline in the first half but they got the job done with an impressive confidence.It was a match they were never in danger of losing. Their 37-21 triumph made it 10 on the bounce under Eddie Jones and it was their first win over the Springboks since 2006. Unwanted droughts and records are being cancelled out in the Jones era.They were marshalled by the brilliant Ben Youngs at scrum-half. His box kicks and passes were on point and it was no coincidence that it was his darting run in the 44th minute to tee up the try for George Ford which ended this as a contest. He followed this up with a near-identical piece of skill to tee up Owen Farrell after 68 minutes.South Africa were poor. They lacked any invention and but for some incisive runs from Damien de Allende, showed little in attack. Their defence around the fringes was near non-existent and they looked stretched whenever England went wide or, for that matter, through the middle.England did start slowly but were seldom tested by this Boks side. It was a cold, damp occasion at Twickenham -- John Keats was perhaps thinking of November Tests when he penned his Ode to Autumn, talking of a season of mists and mellow fruitfulness.While Jones will be pleased with the win, will take the positives and be relieved at the clean bill of health, it is the bigger picture around this match which is perhaps most significant.Friday marked a year to the day that Stuart Lancaster left his post as England coach in the grizzly, post-World Cup bloodletting. Now, a year on, and England have won all 10 matches under Jones with continuity and gradual evolution at their very core.The back-row which started against the Boks had a familiar look. Chris Robshaw, Tom Wood and Billy Vunipola all started that fateful World Cup match against Wales but this time around Robshaw was at blindside and Wood was at No.7. Its those little tweaks coupled with a change in mentality and outlook which have seen England progress.Robshaw did superbly at blindside, nullifying any threat from the South Africa back-row. Their handling was also impressive. As they tested the water in the first half, it was that back-row who were putting the wingers into space but it was Englands starting 8,9,10,12 axis that was key to this victory.Billy Vunipola, arguably the form No.8 in world rugby, was at his usual effective, bulldozing best -- even Eben Etzebeth came off second best when connecting head on head with the England back-row -- while Youngs, Ford and Owen Farrell have built a brilliant understanding in the midfield. This platform allowed Marland Yarde and Jonny May time and space to run directly at the Boks defence.With both Maro Itoje and George Kruis sidelined, Joe Launchbury and Courtney Lawes combined well in the second-row and their performance will give Jones food for thought when he has a fully fit party to pick from. But their discipline will concern Jones -- they conceded six penalties in the first 30 minutes -- and a better team than the Boks would have exploited these lapses.But the Boks are a team low on confidence and look to have a confused gameplan. They are stuck midway through an approach focused on contestable kicking and then running straight and hard. Englands defence was resolute until Johan Goosens 59th minute try but that was the first time they really looked stretched.Instead they forced turnovers - Mike Brown did well in this area - and Ford pinned the Boks back in their own 22 with some deft kicking from hand. Another positive for England will be debuts for Nathan Hughes, Kyle Sinckler and Ben Teo while Elliot Daly played the full 80 and finished on the wing.Up next for England are Fiji and judging by their performance against the Barbarians on Friday, they will make it 11 wins from 11 under Jones next Saturday. Its all about evolving and continuing to improve in the Jones era and this win over the Springboks saw them take another step forward in that process. Nike Air Max 97 Offerta .C.

ATLANTA -- Beating state rival Georgia Southern wont make Georgia Techs season.Even so, it provided much-needed relief.Justin Thomas was the difference in the matchup of spread-option offenses, running for two touchdowns and passing for another, and Georgia Tech beat Georgia Southern 35-24 on Saturday to end a three-game losing streak.Its definitely better than being on the other side, said Yellow Jackets senior center Freddie Burden.Georgia Tech (4-3) enjoyed a dominant opening quarter and put the game away with two fourth-quarter touchdowns. Dedrick Mills had a 20-yard scoring run, his second of the game, with less than four minutes remaining.Thomas had a season-high 172 yards passing and 78 rushing. Georgia Tech gained 437 yards with three plays of at least 50 yards.Georgia Southern coach Tyson Summers said this week he thought his defenses familiarity with the option attack would help when preparing for Georgia Tech. But the super-quick Thomas adds a different edge to the Yellow Jackets version of the spread option.Its the speed and the cutting, Summers said. Those are the two things that you cannot simulate.Burden said Thomas is just amazing, he is just one of a kind.Georgia Southern (3-3) has lost three straight -- all on the road. The Eagles rank sixth in the nation in rushing but managed only 167 yards -- more than 100 below their average -- on 50 carries.It was a confidence-building win as the Yellow Jackets look to end a 2-10 two-year skid in Atlantic Coast Conference games, including a 1/3 ACC start this season.A 58-yard scoring run by Thomas and a 65-yard scoring pass from Thomas to Clinton Lynch gave the Yellow Jackets a 14-0 lead. A 50-yard run by Marcus Marshall set up Mills 6-yard touchdown run for a 21-7 lead late in the first quarter.We came out fast like we needed to, to put pressure on them, Thomas said.MEGA BOWFormer Georgia Tech standout receiver Calvin Megatron Johnson was recognized at halftime for his induction into the schools sports hall of fame on Friday night.

Upshaw completed 8 of 16 passes for 66 yards and had 10 carries for 41 yards. Kevin Ellison took over at quarterback when Upshaw had to leave the game for the second time with an undisclosed injury.Summers did not have an immediate update on Upshaw. Itll be easier for us to kind of tell tomorrow, he said.Ellison completed 10 of 17 passes for 102 yards and a touchdown.THE TAKEAWAYGEORGIA SOUTHERN: The Eagles strengths didnt match up well against Georgia Tech. Georgia Southern leads the Sun Belt in total defense but couldnt stop Georgia Tech. L.A. Ramsbys 1-yard scoring run in the first quarter gave the Eagles their only touchdown until Ellisons 3-yard scoring pass to B.J. Johnson III with 1:03 remaining. Younghoe Koo kicked a 44-yard field goal in the second quarter.GEORGIA TECH: The Yellow Jackets had the strong showing on both sides of the ball they needed to regain momentum after last weeks last-second loss at Pittsburgh. Thomas showed strong leadership as he didnt turn the ball over. Corey Griffin had 10 tackles and a fourth-down sack to end the Eagles first drive of the second half.UP NEXTGEORGIA SOUTHERN: The Eagles return to their Sun Belt Conference schedule when they try to extend their two-game winning streak against New Mexico State.GEORGIA TECH: The Yellow Jackets are off next week and will play another home game against Duke on Oct. 29.

COLUMBIA, S. Nike Tn Trainers .C. - No. 8 South Carolina womens soccer extended its winning streak to double-digits after downing Kentucky 3-0 at Stone Stadium Sunday behind goals from seniors Sophie Groff and Kaleigh Kurtz and junior Lindsey Lane. Junior forward Savannah McCaskill added a pair of assists for the Gamecocks (10-0-1-, 4-0-0 SEC), who remain as one of four teams unbeaten on the year.

The Gamecocks boasted a 25-2 shot advantage for the match, putting 10 attempts on target.South Carolina broke through in the 56th minute when McCaskill sent a great ball into the box from just inside the attacking third. Her pass hit Groff in stride, and the senior attacker fired a shot that hit off the post. Groff stuck with the play and collected the rebound before burying the ball into the back of the net.The lead grew to two in the 64th minute when Kurtz connected on her first goal of the season. The center back found some space near the top of the box and rifled a shot into the top right corner past the diving body of Kentucky goalkeeper Evangeline Soucie. The unassisted goal was the second of Kurtzs career.South Carolinas advantage didnt stay at two for long, as the Gamecocks put the game away in the 67th minute following great footwork on the end line from McCaskill. The forward eluded the Kentucky defense with a back heel move that left her all alone in the right side of the box.

South Carolina attempted four corner kicks against Kentucky, and Sundays performance marked its fifth shutout in the last six matches.QUOTABLE We continued at it and didnt get frustrated from the first half. We had a lot of opportunities, and we did well to be a little more dangerous in the second half. It was a great credit to our team to do what we needed to do to win the game. - South Carolina womens soccer coach Shelley SmithGAMECHANGER Senior defender Kaleigh Kurtzs strike from the top of the box pushed the lead to two and gave the Gamecocks total control of the match.

EDMONTON, Alberta -- The Oilers four-game losing streak is an example of how fine the lines in hockey truly are. Nike Pegasus 32 Uomo .Three of the four losses came in either overtime or the shootout; the one regulation loss of the four saw the Oilers establish 2-0 and 5-3 leads at Philadelphia before giving up a late goal to lose, 6-5.So, you could argue that the Oilers were only a few breaks away from collecting eight out of a possible eight points out of those four games. They ended up with only three.They will try to change the pattern when they host the Winnipeg Jets Sunday night at Rogers Place. The Jets will come in with tired legs, having lost 6-2 at Calgary Saturday night. It was the Jets third loss in a row.Weve got to get the (Calgary loss) out of our mind and focus on tomorrow, and have that fire in our belly, said Jets center Mark Scheifele, who has 27 points in 27 games this season. (The Oilers) are a good team, theyre quick, theyre skilled and weve got to be ready for them.The hottest Oiler is center Leon Draisaitl; he has scored in five of the last six Oilers games, and has nine points over that span. He scored in Fridays 3-2 shootout loss to the Minnesota Wild.I think Im pretty confident right now, said Draisaitl. The puck seems to bounce my way a little bit, which didnt happen in the first couple of games.But whats been troubling for the Oilers is they held leads in each of the four straight losses. If the Oilers want to shake the decade-long pattern of missing the playoffs, the team will have to develop the mental toughness needed when it comes to getting up in a game -- and seeing it through to the final buzzer.Its been tough on us of late, said Oilers coach Todd McLellan. The schedule, the way weve lost some games, the frustration level goes up and, often, when it happens it sucks a lot of energy out of you.But he added that he thought the Oilers 3-2 shootout loss in Minnesota on Friday night saw all of his players come out with strong efforts.Now, the challenge is to turn a strong effort into a winning effort.The Oilers will face a Jets team thats already playing back-to-back games for the sixth time this season. By contrast, the Oilers have played just three back-to-backs this year. The game will be the Jets fifth in seven games.The diabolical schedule has not pleased Jets coach Paul Maurice.I dont like our schedule at all. Ive never seen one like it, Maurice said. It may be the new NHL, we just have to get used to it and deal with it.Maurice said his team will make full use of two days off at home after they head home from Edmonton. Nike Shox Uomo Offerta .

Players in the National Womens Hockey League will play at least one more game but want more information before agreeing to a 50 percent salary cut the commissioner says is necessary to save the season.Brant Feldman, an agent who represents numerous top NWHL players, said on Twitter Saturday that the Boston Pride will play at Buffalo on Sunday. Feldman called the decision to play a sign of good of faith and challenged the league to do the same in responding to player demands.Feldman said the players have been placed in a difficult position because the NWHL may cease operations if the games arent played. The other game Sunday features the Connecticut Whale at the New York Riveters.The four-team league is in its second season, and its future has been thrust into question a day after NWHL Commissioner Dani Rylan announced the salary cuts.

Its unclear if the players will do that before their games Sunday, and whether the NWHL will allow the games to be played if the restructured contracts arent signed.Riveters defenseman Ashley Johnston said players were surprised by the salary-cut announcement, and called the decision gut-wrenching.Feldman wrote that the players have been put in an impossible position because they do not know the leagues true financial health.

TORONTO -- Imagine being Rob Blake over the past 24 hours. Cheap Ugg Boots For Sale .As part of Team Canadas management team, he was fully invested in a major win over rival Team USA at the World Cup of Hockey. No better feeling for a former Team Canada star player now turned executive.On the flip side, its not fun seeing his Los Angeles Kings GM Dean Lombardi getting raked over the coals for his decision-making in putting together Team USA.Its a tough position, Blake, assistant GM for the Kings, told ESPN.com Wednesday. I think they all know they have to go through Canada at the end of the day. They talk about it a lot and they probably use it as a way to get the guys motivated and that. But then when it doesnt go that way, theres going to be fallout. Itll be tough on him because he doesnt make any of those decisions without doing a ton of work in the background. That I know for sure, I see him in the office every day doing that. You know, its not like hes throwing a team on a piece of paper and says, Here we go. He put a lot of work into the background and everything.Blake, as of Wednesday afternoon, hadnt reached out yet to Lombardi. He wanted to give him some time, but he was going to give him a call soon enough, as theres also some Kings business to go over together.The narrative now in the wake of Team USAs ultra-disappointing performance here is that USA Hockey needs to rethink its ways. I mentioned to Blake that it was reminiscent to what happened here with Hockey Canada after Canadas semifinal loss to the Czech Republic in the NHLs first foray in the Olympics at Nagano in 1998. That came two years after losing to Team USA in the World Cup finals, Blake part of both of those Canadian squads. Hockeys birth country had a total meltdown after Nagano, and it actually led to a major summit in Toronto assembling some of the games smartest coaches and executives in an effort to rethink how players were developed in Canada.Part of the legacy of that summit was that Hockey Canada did indeed change many of its ways, spawning an impactful generation of players that has since dominated best-on-best hockey with Olympic wins at Vancouver 2010 and Sochi 2014. I think the intriguing thing for both countries right now is the young stars, the North American team, Blake said of the 23-and-under squad featuring Connor McDavid, Auston Matthews and Johnny Gaudreau. Theres a lot of talent on that team for both those countries that are up and coming.But yeah, its no different when we lost in Japan [in 1998], it was like they had to redo everything, Blake said. But I think you want that pressure because youre expected to win these tournaments. Im sure from knowing Dean and their management side on the U.S., they had the same expectations, they were expecting to win. Its no different from the guys in Canada. The expectations are always to win.And when you dont, you accept the fallout that comes with it. Purple Uggs Boots .

Thurston backed himself to be 100 per cent in the grand final qualifier.Its taken an extra couple of days to recover from it but things are looking up for myself - I am feeling good, he said.However, Green admitted the jury was out on the rest of his team after enduring the first finals extra-time period since it was introduced this season.They are racing the clock to recover from the 90 minute effort in tropical Townsville before lining up against a Sharks outfit fresh from a week off.I definitely think people dont realise exactly what it (extra time) takes out of them physically, Green said.We just hope it doesnt take too much out of us at the back end of the game (against Cronulla).Green said they would be restricted to light runs this week in a bid to conserve energy.We dont have too much opportunity to have much practice, Green said.It (losing practice sessions) is always a big deal - how you train is how you play.But we have no choice but to make this week about recovery.Centre Kane Linnett (hamstring) returns but Javid Bowen has been named on the wing for Antonio Winterstein who missed last week with a rib complaint.
