What went down in the sixth week of college soccer? The aim each week is to bring you five stories that defined the week in college soccer or help navigate the long road to the (still homeless) Womens College Cup.And sometimes to point out moments like this. Or this.Or the fastest goal in NCAA womens soccer history from Megan Searson.A season-defining week, ACC-styleAs Miami welcomed No. 2 Virginia this past week, winless against the Cavaliers since 2006, it also worked against a goal drought of more than 300 minutes this season. Three consecutive 1-0 defeats left the Hurricanes within a game of .500 entering the week, an uncomfortable place for any ACC team yet to play the bulk of its grueling conference schedule.But after 40 shots without a goal in those three most recent setbacks, Miami took an early lead on one of its first shots Thursday, a counter leading to a terrific finish from Gracie Lachowecki. The Hurricanes made it two goals before halftime, standout freshman Kristina Fisher converting a penalty, and saw out a 2-1 win with an organized defensive effort.It was a major achievement, the best (although notably not the only) win against a top-five opponent in coach Mary-Frances Monroes four seasons. Yet it still meant only as much as Sundays game against unranked Syracuse. And for a time, it looked like Miami might squander the momentum. It hit a post against the Orange. It hit the crossbar. Players opened up shooting angles, only to put their shots wide. But then Ronnie Johnson volleyed a ball out of air to break the scoreless tie in the 72nd minute and Lachowecki sealed a 2-0 win in the 81st minute.Thursday gave Miami one of the best wins in program history. But Sunday consolidated that into a feasible path to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2012.All square in top-five showdownMother Nature, at least partly, took care of what the NCAA should have years ago. With teams often playing twice in the span of three or four days, there is no sensible reason to extend regular-season games beyond 90 minutes.A draw can be a fair result, like the 1-1 final between No. 3 Florida State and No. 2 Virginia that ended with less than a minute to play in the first of two 10-minute overtime periods Sunday because of severe weather. That it was close and low-scoring cant be a surprise. There have been high-scoring routs in the past, but seven of the past eight meetings were either decided by a single goal or ended level (five of those games ending 1-0 for one side or the other).The difference here, after Veronica Latsko gave Virginia an early lead and Kristen McFarland pulled Florida State even in the second half, is that it doesnt so much confirm the excellence of the two teams as much as confirm that both are works in progress.A season-shaping week, SEC-styleA Sweet 16 participant just a season ago, Auburn isnt worried about ending a Miami-esque postseason drought. But the immediate future looked a tad parched as the Tigers embarked on a road trip to No. 12 Florida and Georgia this past week with a near-.500 record for the season.Seven goals later, including four from Kristen Dodson, Auburn looks like Auburn often does.That the weeks drama came Sunday, rallying from a goal down at halftime to score three unanswered in a 4-2 win at Georgia, says a lot about the game that preceded it. Auburn shut out Florida in Gainesville for the first time in series history, and the Tigers didnt even need a clean sheet in a comprehensive 3-0 win. With only a loss at conference leader South Carolina, Auburn is in good shape among a pack of chasers.Floridas frustration, on the other hand, was summed up by Savannah Jordan unsubtly lowering her shoulder into an Auburn defender whose jersey tug moments earlier had gone unspotted or uncalled by the referee. The Diego Costa homage (fast forward to 8 minutes remaining in the first half here) didnt cost Jordan a card, but after a stretch of games in which she received minimal service, it dripped with symbolism.Yet it was that same relentless energy, better channeled, that kept Jordan chasing what proved to be the winning goal Sunday against Tennessee. That result keeps the Gators in the SEC mix.Duke adjusts without a starIt might seem a curious choice, but Louisville was the last team No. 7 Duke wanted as it adjusted to life without Kayla McCoy.Give them North Carolina. Give them Florida State or Virginia. Just dont ask the Blue Devils to get a shot past the Cardinals. Duke took 31 shots without scoring in Thursdays 0-0 tie against Louisville. It took 24 shots without scoring in a 0-0 draw in the same game a year earlier. And 15 shots without scoring the year before that in a 0-0 draw. You get the picture.So as worrying as it was that Duke went without a goal in its first game since learning McCoy would miss the rest of the season with a torn Achilles, Sundays 4-0 win against No.19 Virginia Tech -- and more specifically, two goals from Imani Dorsey -- should soothe nerves.The vanishing unbeatenAs the leaves start falling, so do the unbeatens. Sure, No. 1 Stanford continues to roll along just fine after a 3-0 win against Oregon. So, too, do No. 8 South Carolina and No. 12 South Florida, the Bulls still both unbeaten and untied. But the list gets short after that.Unbeaten through nonconference play, Central Michigan opened its MAC schedule with a 4-0 loss to Northern Illinois. Previously unbeaten without allowing a goal, Lehigh watched both labels go by the wayside in a 3-2 loss to Colgate. The same week it cracked the Top 25, No. 21 Northwestern took its first loss of the season at Rutgers. Until this week the only Big 12 team with a better winning percentage than No. 5 West Virginia, TCU lost its first at Oklahoma.So where are we supposed to look for unexpected perfection? Bucknell remains 8-0-1.Or you could turn to Division II Central Missouri. The Jennies (the curiously gender-specific nickname for a school where the mens teams go by Mules) are one of two remaining NCAA teams that are unbeaten, untied and yet to allow a goal. The other is Division III Rowan. Quenton Nelson Colts Jersey . - Goaltender Philippe Desrosiers of the Rimouski Oceanic has broken a shutout record that was only three months old in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. Kenny Moore Womens Jersey . Anthony Calvillo, through 20 CFL seasons, was frequently invincible and largely stoic in the heat of competition. But underneath the professional exterior he was, and is, compellingly human. http://www.coltsofficialstore.us/customized/ . The Lightning are 2-0 so far on a four-game road trip, giving the club five straight wins as the guest and improving Tampas away record this season to 11-8-2. Kenny Moore Jersey . The International Olympic Committee released the official list of bid cities on Friday after the deadline for applications had passed. The candidates -- all previously announced in their own countries -- are: Almaty, Kazakhstan; Beijing; Krakow, Poland; Lviv, Ukraine; Oslo, Norway; and Stockholm. Malik Hooker Womens Jersey . -- PGA TOUR Canada member Steve Saunders took a three-stroke lead Saturday in the Web. BEREA, Ohio -- When Josh McCown was asked by Browns wide receivers Terrelle Pryor and Josh Gordon -- players who are much younger than him -- to join them and watch Monday Night Football, Clevelands quarterback didnt pass up the chance.When the invite is there, I will go hang, McCown said.The curious trio of teammates will be huddling again Sunday.McCown, who stayed steady this summer as trade speculation swirled, will replace an injured Robert Griffin III and start Sundays home opener against Baltimore. Griffin broke a bone in his left shoulder last week in Philadelphia and will miss at least eight games.So the Browns (0-1) will turn their offense back over to the capable McCown, whose future in Cleveland seemed tenuous for several months. However, despite fielding several offers for the 37-year-old, the Browns chose to hang on to McCown, a decision that looks shrewder after Griffin went down.Josh is a pros pro, said Pro Bowl tackle Joe Thomas. You dont survive 15 years in the NFL without knowing how to take care of your business, even in the face of adversity.McCown is relishing another chance, knowing better than anyone he doesnt have many left. His first season with Cleveland was sabotaged by injury, and time is running out on a career that began in 2002 -- when many of his current teammates were still in grade school.For my age, these opportunities, I dont take them lightly, he said. The opportunity to get out there, certainly when that is taken away, it eats at you. Throughout the offseason, it is always in the back of your mind, and the next opportunity you have to make the most of it because you do not know. That is my plan this time around.McCown experienced extreme highs and lows last season against the Ravens (1-0). He passed for a team-record 457 yards and led the Browns to one of their three wins, a 33-30 overtime thriller at Baltimore on Oct. 11. When the teams met again six weeks later, McCown broke his collarbone and missed the final five games.When Cleveland signed RG3 as a free agent in March and then selected rookie Cody Kessler in the third round of Aprils draft, it appeared McCowns days with the Browns were numbered. He blocked out the trade rumors and did what he has always done: whatever the team needed.Even before he was beaten out by Griffin for the Browns sstarting job in training camp, McCown selflessly stepped aside and offered his snaps so RG3 could have more time with the starters.ddddddddddddts that selflessness that has endeared him to teammates past and present. And its why the Browns, who have 17 rookies on their roster, are grateful to have him to teach their young players, to lead them, and, to hopefully win with them.Im full speed ahead with Josh, coach Hue Jackson said. I think he will go out and play extremely well, and help lead our offense and get us to playing football the way we need to play, and give us an opportunity. We expect him to do that. That is why we kept him here.For all the positive testimonials about McCowns character, theres no escaping that hes just 2-17 in his last two seasons as a starter for Tampa Bay and Cleveland. Although he was on the way to his best statistical season in 2015, McCown was 1-7 for the Browns.Pryor, the QB-turned-wide receiver who spent part of the offseason working out with McCown, said focusing on McCowns record is unfair. Theres more than meets the eye.Last year, he lit a lot of teams up, Pryor said. The guy knows how to play. What we love about Josh is that hes the ultimate competitor. You can see it in his eyes and the way he talks in the huddle.McCown was with Pryor and Gordon, who is serving another four-game drug suspension, when Browns owner Jimmy Haslam called to discuss Griffins injury and offer him support.Which made me feel good for a lot of different reasons, Haslam said. Josh McCown is as good a person as Ive ever met anywhere. Hes just incredible.McCown never thought twice about whether his being with much younger teammates appeared odd.It is good to be around those guys, he said. It keeps me young. Ive been the `old guy for the past five years.Game notes Jackson said he doesnt have a problem with his players celebrating following a big play, as long as they keep it within reason. I want our guys to have a little swagger to them, he said. If that is what makes us play good, more power to them. As long as the dances dont turn into something Ive never seen before, we will be OK.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '

NSW and Australia prop Aaron Woods is confident the post-State of Origin sniping between the Blues and Queensland camps wont spill over into the Kangaroos quest for Four Nations supremacy at the end of the year.In the wake of NSWs Origin III victory last week the verbal barbs have continued to fly as bad blood continues between the two interstate factions.At the heart of the issue is NSWs apparent snub of Queensland captain Cameron Smith as he collected the Origin shield.Woods missed selection in Australias win over New Zealand in May this year but is a certain selection for the Four Nations tournament in Britain.He doesnt believe the Kangaroos camp will be divided down state lines.That is all pretty funny, Woods said.Every time I have been in the Aussie camp things have been fine. A lot of people said the boys walked off but some of us clapped Cameron off.There are no hard feelings Im sure. Once you cross that white line for 80 minutes we hate them but when you get off the field that is all overWe all get along. It is just that the media have to write about something. I dont see why it is going to change now.Wests Tigers captain Woods has been mentioned as a leading contender to succeed the retired Paul Gallen as Blues skipper next season.It would be the best ever but we have seven weeks left here with the Tigers and that is all I am focused on, Woods said. Ben Heller Jersey . 1, meaning problems for the doping controls at both major international sports events next year. The World Anti-Doping Agency provisionally suspended the Moscow Antidoping Center on Sunday, saying its operations must improve or a six-month ban on the facilitys accreditation will be imposed. Tyler Wade Jersey . - NASCAR announced a 33-race schedule for the 2014 Nationwide Series with virtually no changes from this years slate. https://www.cheapyankees.com/281g-joe-torre-jersey-yankees.html . The incident occurred at 19:56 of the second period of the Kings 4-2 road win over Edmonton on Sunday. Nolan punched Oilers forward Jesse Joensuu in the jaw in front of the Kings goal during a scrum. New York Yankees Gear . Aaron Harrison scored a 22 points for Kentucky (6-1), which has won four in a row following a Nov. 12 loss to current No. 1 Michigan State. Julius Randle overcame a scoreless first half and added his sixth double-double in as many games with 14 points and 10 rebounds. Luke Voit Yankees Jersey . There are surprises among the Vezina candidates, but most of the others are standard top-tier performers, even if the two Hart Trophy runners-ups have never been quite as good as they have been through the first half of the season. SEATTLE -- During the final few weeks of the season, Sean Manaea provided the Oakland Athletics a glimpse of what they hope to see over a longer haul starting next season.Manaea continued his solid close to 2016 by throwing six innings and allowing two runs as Oakland finished the year with a 3-2 win over the Seattle Mariners on Sunday.Since coming off the disabled list in mid-September, Manaea allowed three runs in 24 innings, striking out 20 and allowing 15 hits.Its been a lot of fun, Manaea said. I kind of sometimes take things too seriously and am really hard on myself. Its really hard to get out of those ruts when things arent going well. When I sit back and have fun and just try to be loose and just go out there and do my thing, thats when I feel like Im at my best. Thats what these last three or four starts Ive had have all felt like. Im just happy how things turned out, happy how I ended the season.Manaea gave up five hits to the Mariners and capped a second-half of the season the As hope becomes the norm in 2017. He had a 2.67 ERA in 13 games after the All-Star break and allowed more than four earned runs only once during that stretch.The sky is the limit. There are certain guys you just say that about, but then there are certain guys that really, it is, Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. Whether its swings and misses, whether its the velocity on the fastball when he needs it, anytime change-up, slider is so much better. Hes got real weapons to get you out.Stephen Vogt hit his 14th home run in the first inning on the only pitch that he saw on the final day of the season. Vogt drove the first pitch he saw from Felix Hernandez just beyond the left-field wall to give the As an early lead. Vogt was lifted for a pinch-hitter in his next at-bat. Marcus Semien and Eric Pinder added RBI singles as Oakland made the three early runs stand up.I havent had many of those and thats something I really worked on this year -- going the other way and driving the ball that way a little bit more, Vogt said. To get an opposite-field home run in the last game, the last at-bat of the year, that was pretty cool.Seattle appeared drained after seeing its ppostseason hopes dashed in Saturdays extra-innings loss to the As.dddddddddddd Hernandez (11-8) was lifted after the third inning and Guillermo Heredias two-run double in the fifth amounted to all of Seattles offense and the only real threat against Manaea.Last night and the run that weve been on took a lot out of everybody physically and emotionally, Seattle manager Scott Servais said.Oakland finished at 69-93, a one-game improvement over a year ago but tied for the fifth-worst mark by winning percentage in franchise history. Matt Olson made a leaping catch at the wall in right field to grab Kyle Seagers line drive for the second out of the ninth and preserve the victory.John Axford pitched the ninth for his third save.The Mariners were in contention for the second wild card in the American League thanks to a 16-6 stretch. But hopes of playoff baseball returning to the Pacific Northwest for the first time in 15 years ended when Seattle lost 9-8 in 10 innings on Saturday.It was the second time in three years the Mariners went into the final weekend with a shot at the postseason only to fall just short.Seattle made a 10-game improvement from 2015 in Servais first year as a manager at any level of baseball.STREAK SNAPPEDOakland outfielder Jake Smolinski went into the offseason on a positive note after snapping a 0-for-20 skid with a single in the fifth inning. It was the longest hitless streak of his career. Smolinski finished with two hits on the day.(UN)FIT FOR A KINGHernandez closed out of the most inconsistent seasons of his career with a brief appearance. He was solid early in the season, but a strained calf muscle that landed him on the disabled list for nearly two months derailed his season. Hernandez finished with a 3.82 ERA, his highest since 2007 when he was 21 and in his second full season.Hernandez lost his final three decisions of the season.UP NEXTAthletics: Oakland opens the 2017 season on April 3 at home against the Los Angeles Angels.Mariners: Seattle opens the 2017 season on April 3 at Houston.

LAS VEGAS -- Hall of Fame pitcher Greg Maddux will join UNLVs baseball team as a volunteer assistant next season.Madduxs son, Chase, is a sophomore pitcher for the Rebels.Maddux won four Cy Young Awards and 18 Gold Gloves during a 23-year career that included stops with Atlanta, the Chicago Cubs, Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego. He played at Valley High School in Las Vegas before being drafted in the second round of the 1984 baseball draft by the Cubs.Maddux, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2014, has worked in various front offices since retiring in 2008, most recently as a special assistant with the Dodgers.

Devin Booker Suns Jersey . -- Stanfords Kevin Danser knelt on one knee and hardly moved on the sideline as Michigan State celebrated its Rose Bowl victory and his Cardinal teammates made their way to the locker room. Sydney FC have locked in the first of several off-contract players, re-signing talented young midfielder Brandon ONeill for a further two A-League seasons.ONeill opted to remain with the Sky Blues until the end of the 2018-19 campaign, despite form thats believed to have attracted interest from other clubs including former side Perth.My game has developed so much in my first 18 months with the club and thats thanks to the help and support of the people here as well as my teammates, the 22-year-old said.Im looking forward to spending the next two years of my career here and winning some silverware.Table-topping Sydney will look to tie down another dozen players off contract, as talks continue over a new deal for coach Graham Arnold.Arnold said ONeill had all the attributes to become a top-class midfielder, as evidenced through his successful partnership with this season Josh Brillante.He is a role model for any young and aspiring player out there and Im certain he will see further success and recognition in his career, Arnold said.In less positive news, striker Matt Simon will miss Saturdays away clash with Perth after being hit with a one-matcch ban for serious unsporting conduct against Melbourne Citys Michael Jakobsen.ddddddddddddSimon appeared to throw his shoulder into Jakobsens head during one of several fiery confrontations with the Danish defender late in Friday nights 1-1 draw at ANZ Stadium.Referee Kris Griffiths-Jones did not sanction the 30-year-old forward during the game but the match review panel found enough reason to issue him a show-cause notice on Monday.While the Sky Blues lodged a submission on his behalf, the panel ruled Simons behaviour constituted serious unsporting conduct and warranted a one-match suspension.Sydney chief executive Tony Pignata said the outcome was disappointing.We felt he didnt have a case to answer, Pignata said.But we accept the decision and we move on.With Simon being a regular substitute for Sydney FC, it means David Carney or George Blackwood are set to move to the bench for the Glory match.Sydney will also be missing Brillante, sent off during the City game, and likely to be replaced by Milos Dimitrijevic.

Australia have admitted they were sent into a lather by Faf du Plessis crafty declaration on the first evening of the Adelaide Test, a call that left Steven Smith and Usman Khawaja fuming as David Warner was unable to take his usual spot as an opener after spending time off the field.Warner complained of shoulder pain and went for treatment late in South Africas innings, but upon overhearing that the opener needed to spend a further six minutes on the field, du Plessis closed his innings. I listened to the conversation he had with the umpires, one ear talking to the batter and one ear listening to him and then I heard he had six minutes left before he could bat again so I thought lets have a crack, du Plessis said.Warner and Smith both remonstrated with the umpires on their way off the field, with du Plessis closure the earliest in terms of overs in the first innings of a Test unaffected by bad weather. He went off for some treatment towards the end and was off for too long, Josh Hazlewood said of Warner. So they messed their timings up and he couldnt bat straight away. Uzzy had to bat and adapted pretty well and we got through.The guys were a little bit annoyed, especially Smithy and probably Uzzy who had to go out and bat, but its just one of those things. It rarely happens, but it happened today and the way Uzzy adapted to the situation he did a great job for us today.Hazlewood confirmed it was up to Warner to ensure he was not caught out in this way, and said the team would likely receive an apology from the vice-captain as a result. Its probably the player himself, he said. You know the rules and he was just off the field for too long. Hell hold himself accountable, thats how Davey goes, so hell know he did the wrong thing, apologise to the group and especially Usman, and hell learn from it and hopefully it wont happen again.As for du Plessis, Hazlewood could only doff his cap. I think he mightve had a rough idea, yeah, he said. Hes quite cagey like that, pulled the pin and declared and caught us out a little bit. Kenny Moore Womens Jersey .Y. - Free agent outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury, fresh off winning the World Series with Boston, reached agreement with the rival New York Yankees on a seven-year contract worth about $153 million, a person familiar with the negotiations said Tuesday night. Darius Leonard Colts Jersey . Takahashi, who had a 10-point lead after the short program, received 268.31 points after the free skate to finish 15 points ahead of second-place Nobunari Oda. http://www.coltsofficialstore.us/authentic-marvin-harrison-colts-jersey/ . Siddikur, whose previous win on the circuit came in Brunei three years ago, finished his bogey-free round with a birdie on the 18th for a total of 17-under 199. Indias Shiv Chowrasia, who has finished runner-up in this tournament twice, was in second place after a 66. Malik Hooker Womens Jersey . Robredo, ranked No. 16, bounced back from an upset loss to Leonardo Mayer in the second round of the Royal Guard Open in Chile last week to down Carreno Busta in 1 hour, 25 minutes. On a day filled mostly with qualifying matches, fifth-seeded Marcel Granollers of Spain also entered the second with a 7-5, 3-6, 6-2 win over Aljaz Bedene of Slovenia, while Guido Pella of Argentina defeated Guillermo Garcia-Lopez of Spain 7-6 (6), 6-4 to advance. Pat McAfee Womens Jersey . Kiriasis and brakeman Franziska Fritz finished two runs in one minute 55.41 seconds -- a mere 0.01 seconds ahead of Meyers and Lolo Jones, who likely bolstered her Olympic hopes by helping give USA-1 a huge push in the second heat. CLEVELAND -- The Indians had plenty of chances. They blew every one.With an opportunity to trim its magic number for winning the AL Central to one, Cleveland played sloppily on Saturday night and lost 8-1 to the Chicago White Sox, leaving the title -- and a playoff berth -- just out of reach.The Indians squandered early scoring chances against Jose Quintana (13-11) and disappointed a crowd of 32,088 fans who came hoping to see them move closer to the postseason.We had some really good chances early, and didnt do much with it, Indians manager Terry Francona said. And with a good pitcher like Quintana, he found himself.Clevelands magic number dropped to two after Detroit lost earlier to Kansas City. The Indians could have trimmed it further, and had a chance to clinch the title on Sunday in their regular-season home fine. However, theyll now need to win and get some more help from the Royals to wrap up their first division title since 2007 in front of their fans.Melky Cabrera and Jose Abreu hit RBI singles in the first off Cody Anderson (2-5), and Todd Frazier connected for his 39th homer in the sixth as the White Sox snapped a six-game losing streak.Quintana (13-11) gave up one run in six innings and beat Cleveland for the second time in 11 days. The Indians, who committed three errors, threw two wild pitches and had a passed ball, had Quintana on the ropes in the first two innings, but managed just one run.We had his pitch count up a lot early but we managed one (run), Francona said. We let him off the hook.With his rotation in disarray because of injuries, Indians manager Francona started Anderson and used seven relievers -- hardly an ideal situation for a team trying to lock down a postseason berth.The Indians, though, wasted the early opportunities against Quintana -- he threw 53 pitches in the first two innings -- and the left-hander got better as the game progressed.It was rough, White Sox manager Robin Ventura said of QQuintanas first two innings.dddddddddddd Locating-wise was probably the biggest thing. You really didnt see him like that too often. He gritted through it. He has a lot of heart in him to keep battling like that.Cleveland loaded the bases with one out in the first but Quintana got Carlos Santana to hit into an inning-ending double play. They had the bases full again in the second and appeared ready for a huge inning after Rajai Davis hit a one-out RBI single to right. But Coco Crisp got caught in a rundown for the second out and Quintana got Jason Kipnis to ground out.RED-HOT RAMIREZJose Ramirez has hit safely in his last 13 home games and is batting .432 (19 of 44) with eight doubles and 11 RBI in that span. He has 45 doubles, the most by a switch-hitter in club history.LINDORS SLIDEShortstop Francisco Lindor is hitless in his last 25 at-bats.

Lindor, for one, could use a break, but Francona acknowledged its tough to get fully re-charged at this point.Im not sure a day off just puts the spring back in your legs, he said.

A look at whats happening all around the majors today:---CHAMPAGNE ON ICEChasing their first World Series championship since 1908, the Chicago Cubs are beginning to clear some hurdles along the way. After clinching a playoff spot Wednesday, the Cubs can wrap up their first NL Central title since 2008 with a win at home over Milwaukee or a St. Louis loss in San Francisco. Chicago has the best record in the majors at 93-52.LETS GET WILDAll-Star arms are on the mound at AT&T Park for the opener of a critical, four-game series between NL wild-card contenders. Adam Wainwright (11-8, 4.45 ERA) starts for the Cardinals against Johnny Cueto (15-5, 2.90) and the skidding Giants, just swept at home by San Diego. San Francisco leads the wild-card race by a half-game over the Mets, with St. Louis another half-game back.BUMPY ROADThe path to the playoffs is about to get a lot tougher for the Yankees. New York begins a rugged road trip when Masahiro Tanaka (13-4, 3.04 ERA) starts at Fenway Park against Red Sox lefty Eduardo Rodriguez (2-7, 4.70). The Yankees play four games in Boston, three at Tampa Bay and four in Toronto on an 11-game trek that matches their longest in 10 seasons. New York has dropped three of four and is two games behind Toronto for the second AL wild card.UH, OHDesperately trying to stay in the wild-card hunt, the Houston Astros are hoping injuries to Jose Altuve and Alex Bregman arent too serious. A top contender for AL MVP, Altuve left Wednesday nights game against Texas with right oblique discomfort. The star second baseman began the night leading the league in hitting with a .340 average to go with 24 home runs, 94 RBI, 27 stolen bases and 99 runs. Bregman, a hyped rookie third baseman, left in the sixth with right hamstring discomfort. Both players were to have a full evaluation, manager A.J. Hinch said.HOT CORNERToronto third baseman Josh Donaldson is waiting for results of an MRI on his sore right hip. Last years AL MVP has missed three straight games but said he hopes to play in the series opener at the Los Angeles Angels. J.A. Happ (18-4) starts for the slumping Blue Jays, who have lost seven of 10. They are three games behind first-place Boston in the AL East and hold a slim lead for the leagues second wild card.PERFECT ENCOREDodgers lefty Rich Hill (12-3, 1.80 ERA) starts at last-place Arizona as Los Angeles continues its 10-game trip with a five-game lead in the NL West over San Francisco. Hill has won nine straight decisions, and was pulled with a perfect game in progress after seven innings at Miami in his most recent outing because of concerns about a recurring blister. Nick Pope Jersey .C. - The Carolina Hurricanes have placed backup goalie Anton Khudobin on injured reserve with an unspecified lower-body injury. David Beckham Jersey . -- Nathan Pancel scored twice as the Sudbury Wolves defeated the North Bay Battalion 4-2 on Saturday in Ontario Hockey League action. http://www.englandsoccerpro.com/Nick-Pope-England-Jersey/ .J. -- Marty Brodeur beat the Pittsburgh Penguins yet again. Kieran Trippier Jersey .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable. Ruben Loftus-Cheek Jersey Throughout the Stanley Cup Playoffs, NHL on TSN analyst and former NHL goaltender Jamie McLennan ranks the netminders after each game night. Number values assigned are out of five with five being the best performance. Henrik Lundqvist - 4 - A strong game. He was focused early on and had to fight traffic and pressure all game long. The Horton goal was a tough break where the puck bounced back to him. On the Krug goal, Boyle was in his lane screening him, and the Seguin goal he made a great original save. Loved the way he was working to push rebounds past oncoming traffic. It was noticeable in this game. Tuukka Rask - 2 - A tough game. He fell on the Hagelin goal, was slow on his exchange with Chara on the Stepan goal. He has set the bar very high for himself playing so well in the playoffs, just not a very sharp game for him. The game winner was a nice redirection in front, not much chance as he scrambled to find it on the seam play. Noticed the rangers are really targeting his blocker side. Jimmy Howard - 5 – He was brilliant and aggressive all game long. His glove was locked in and tracked the puck really well. Big save on the sharp breakaway was about the posittioning – Howard had taken ice and not given the shooter anything.dddddddddddd On the big save on Bolland, it was more of a Jonathan Quick lunge across and forward that he came up with, took the angle up approach on the puck, and it came back on the ice to the right pad. Good read. Corey Crawford - 4 - Played well. He didnt have much of a chance on the Kindl goal, as he was screened well by Abdelkader. One thing he was very strong at on Thursday was his rebound control, really took ice, planted his feet and let the puck come to him. Jonathan Quick - 5 – A money goalie on Thursday. He was not bombarded with shots, but the Sharks had some Grade-A chances and he had the answer. A left shoulder save on Thorton was great, but his best trait all night long was he fought for his sight lines to find the puck through screens. His biggest save was on Pavelski in the last minute. Antti Niemi - 4 - His strongest play on Thursday was his ice coverage, no better save in the game than his lateral push and flexibility display on a Jeff Carter wrap-around. Had to battle through traffic and net crashing all night, only goals that beat him were through bodies and bounces. ' ' '

He says the PGA Tour did a good job informing him of risks and making him feel comfortable, but that his familys health was more important.Johnson says if the games were in Tokyo this year, he would have played.

Thats as far out as the Open is booked. He says 2020 and 2021 are reserved for a links in England and St. Andrews -- so that rules out Turnberry. A decision beyond that wouldnt be expected for at least a few more years.The most likely scenario is Royal St. Georges in 2020 and St. Andrews in 2021.

He says that would make it very real and that would kind of help inspire me in terms of the occasion and give me a kind of scale of what the Olympics is all about.The mens golf competition will be held the second week of the games. Rose plans to move into a home near the course a few days before the opening round, just so its more predictable travel time and I can stay on top of my own schedule just a little bit easier.Rose is part of a four-person golf team that Britain will be sending to the Olympics. The squad, which was formally unveiled Wednesday at Royal Troon, also includes Masters champion Danny Willett, with Charley Hull and Catriona Matthew on the womens side.---11:25 a.m.On the final day of practice before the British Open, two more golfers pulled out of the Olympics but major champions Danny Willett and Justin Rose remain on board.Francesco Molinari of Italy withdrew because of family reasons without giving specifics. He will be replaced by Matteo Manassero, who tied for third in the Scottish Open last weekend.Angelo Que of the Philippines gave up his spot in Rio de Janeiro, as well, saying he was concerned about the Zika virus. Rodolfo Cazaubon of Mexico is next on the list of eligible players.In all, 20 male golfers have withdrawn from the Olympics.Britain, on the other hand, will have a strong contingent comprised of Rose, winner of the 2013 U.S. Open, and Willett, the reigning Masters champion.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State needed a win like this, with last weekends loss to UCLA in the rear-view mirror and the Big Ten schedule looming.Keita Bates-Diop, JaeSean Tate and Kam Williams each scored 15 points as the Buckeyes Ohio took advantage of poor-shooting Youngstown State in a 77-40 blowout Tuesday night.Trevor Thompson contributed a double-double with 11 points and 15 rebounds, and C.J. Jackson had eight points for Ohio State (9-3) in a game that was never in doubt.It was real fun being out there, Williams said. Its one of the best feelings in the world when you get your mojo back.Youngstown State (6-7) shot only 21 percent from the floor and was beaten badly on the boards by the Buckeyes, who scored 48 points in the paint and shot 50 percent on the night.Matt Donlan led Youngstown State with 10 points and six rebounds. The Horizon League team hasnt beaten the Buckeyes in four tries.It was an ugly game on our part, Youngstown State coach Jerry Slocum said. We obviously didnt shoot the ball very well. Were disappointed in our effort in a team that believe it or not is pretty good offensively. We certainly didnt help ourselves in transition defense. It was a poor performance by us.The Penguins were just 2 for 21 from the 3-point line while Ohio State managed five baskets in 15 attempts from beyond the arc.Ohio State rolled out to a 12-1 lead to start the game and led 42-14 at the half. The Penguins suffered a scoring drought of more than 5 minutes in the middle of the half and shot 14.8 percent in that first frame. They hit just two of their last 18 shots to finish the half 4 for 27 from the floor.I wanted to play like this for once, Ohio State coach Thad Matta said. We really challenged the guys Saturday after the game (with) lets see what were made of. The last two days have been hard for these guys, and Im fine with that.Ohio State center Micah Potter suffered a sprained ankle when he stepped on the referees foot on the opening tip and had to be helped off the court, with Thompson taking his place. Potter, a 6-foot-9 freshman, is averaging 4.3 points and 4.1 rebounds. Hes day-to-day.Hes a pretty tough kid, Matta said. Hell get back quick.BIG PICTUREYoungstown State: The cold-shooting Penguins couldnt take advantage of Ohio States less-than-crisp play at times. If Tuesday night was any indication, YSU might be in for a long season.Ohio State: The Buckeyes blew out an inferior team they were supposed to beat, but looked sloppy a lot of the time doing it. They are still a work in progress, with one more pre-conference game on the schedule.I feel like today we really played together, Thompson said. We had fun, and that was the big thing.UP NEXTYoungstown State: Returns home to open Horizon League play against Milwaukee on Dec. 29.Ohio State: Plays Thursday night at home against UNC Asheville. After the Christmas break, the Big Ten schedule opens on New Years Day.---More college basketball at http://collegebasketball.ap.org---Follow Mitch Stacy at http://twitter.com/mitchstacy yeezy boost 350 v2 greece . Rob Manfred, baseballs chief operating officer, testified last week during the grievance filed by the players union to overturn Rodriguezs 211-game suspension. A person familiar with the hearing, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Associated Press on Saturday that Manfred testified the sport wasnt concerned whether Bosch distributed performance-enhancing drugs to minors because MLBs interest was his relationship with players under investigation.

Adidas Stan Smith ανδρικα . Cote was eligible to become a free agent Feb. 15. Cote helped running back Jon Cornish run for a league-high 1,813 rushing yards en route to being named the leagues most outstanding player. Adidas Stan Smith Παιδικα Φθηνα . -- Chicago Bears cornerback Tim Jennings was selected Monday to his second straight Pro Bowl, while guard Kyle Long made it after a solid rookie season. SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- DeShone Kizer was learning to become Notre Dames starting quarterback while struggling as a third-stringer and mulling a switch to baseball.Kizer watched while Everett Golson and Malik Zaire competed for the starters job in spring 2015, before Golson transferred to Florida State for his final season, and learned from Golsons win from within mentality.He really showed me how to be an elite competitor is to be able to compete against yourself and not really worry about the guy next to you. Thats the way Everett was. So that whole competition kind of showed me the ins and outs of how a quarterback competition at an elite school should look, he said.That attitude, along with his performance in a 50-47 double overtime loss at Texas on Sunday, helped him finally be declared the winner in the eight-month competition with Zaire that ended Wednesday when coach Brian Kelly told him hed start when the 18th-ranked Fighting Irish (0-1) host Nevada (1-0) Saturday.Hes the starter for this game and we know that based upon what hes done in the past hes been very effective as a starting quarterback. I expect him to continue in that role, coach Brian Kelly said. If hes not effective, if hes not what weve known him to be, weve got one heck of a good quarterback ready to play.Kelly said the competition was a dead heat until Kizer threw for five touchdowns and ran for another against Texas.He made a pretty big statement, he said.Other things to watch for Saturday when the Wolf Pack faces Notre Dame:MILLION DOLLAR GAMEThe trip to South Bend will help Nevada with not only a game on national TV, but also a $1 million guarantee for facing the Irish. Polian said he would prefer Nevada, which plays at Purdue in two weeks, play one Power Five opponent.If we were supposed to win those games wed be funded like a Power Five. If we were supposed to beat Pac-12 teams every year wed bee in the Pac-12.dddddddddddd Were not. Were in the Mountain West, he said.BOUNCE BACK BIDSNevada and the Irish are both looking for sharply improved play after disappointing opening-game overtime performances. The Wolf Pack struggled but held on against FCS Cal Poly, while the Irish gave up 50 points against Texas. Nevada coach Brian Polian was pleased with the mental toughness his team showed when faced with adversity.We took a deep breath, we collected ourselves and won the game in overtime, he said.Kelly wants to see the Irish finish stronger.We didnt finish and that will be a watch word for this group as we move forward, Kelly said.POLIAN HOMECOMINGThe game brings Polian, who grew up a Notre Dame fan, back to the school where he got his professional break when Charlie Weis hired him as an assistant in 2005. He is best remembered in South Bend for recruiting linebacker Manti Teo from Hawaii. Hes excited to be returning as Nevada head coach.Im walking down the tunnel and Im wearing silver and blue and I couldnt be prouder, Polian said. Im going to be on the correct sideline.NOTRE DAME FANSPolian said hes sure part of the Notre Dame fan base thinks the sky is falling following the loss to Texas. He knows how passionate Irish fans are. He said when he was at Notre Dame he was frequently stopped by fans to wish him luck and in other cases offer you constructive criticism because apparently every Notre Dame fan in America is a football expert.SHORT WEEK RECOVERYKelly said he thought the Irish recovered well during a short week after playing Sunday night in Texas. He said one problem was a hot, humid night Wednesday for players in dorms without air conditioning.Some guys didnt get a lot of sleep because it was pretty sticky on campus, Kelly said. ' ' '

Vapormax Off White Pas Cher . -- Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson asked his players a simple question during Fridays morning shootaround: How many of them had ever been on a team 14 games over . LAS VEGAS -- The NHLs newest team is named the Vegas Golden Knights.Owner Bill Foley and NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman announced the Las Vegas expansion franchises official name and revealed its logo and colors Tuesday night at a gala ceremony for about 5,000 fans outside T-Mobile Arena, where the Golden Knights will begin play next season.The Golden Knights logo is a simple front view of a fighting helmet with a conspicuous V in the middle. Their colors are steel grey, gold, red and black.Our logo and our name is really going to exhibit the highest element of the warrior class -- the knight, Foley told the crowd. The knight protects the unprotected. The knight defends the realm. The knight never gives up, never gives in, always advances, never retreats. And that is what our team is going to be.The NHL awarded its 31st franchise in June to this gambling mecca in the Mojave Desert. Foley is a billionaire businessman who sold the league on the potential of being the first major pro sports franchise in the growing market while playing in a new $375 million arena already constructed on the south end of the Strip.The franchise made its name announcement near an outdoor rink where young hockey players braved the 58-degree nighttime temperatures in Vegas desert basin. The ceremony endured technical difficulties when a video presentation refused to run, prompting Foley and Bettman to kill time.Bettman grinniingly encouraged the fans to boo him, saying its a true indication that Las Vegas is a real NHL city.dddddddddddd.Believe me, we wont screw up the first game like we screwed up the video, Foley said with a laugh.Foley paid $500 million as an expansion fee to the other 30 ownership groups, and the West Point graduate strongly considered naming his team the Black Knights in honor of his Army roots.He changed his mind during the lengthy process of developing a brand and an identity for his team, but Foley kept a military touch in the name despite some local criticism for its lack of a connection to Las Vegas. Foley has said the team didnt want to include an overt gambling reference in the name, but also considered Desert Knights and Silver Knights.Fans chanted Foleys name when he stepped to the podium to make the announcement.Im very proud of our name, and Im very proud of our logo, Foley said.The team has been enthusiastically received in southern Nevada, which is getting the first major professional sports franchise in a market of nearly 1.4 million. Foley led a successful drive that landed several thousand deposits on season tickets months before the NHL officially granted a team to the city.The Golden Knights immediately began selling team merchandise at the announcement.

Brian ODriscoll is excited. His body may hurt a little less than his playing days, but his rugby mind stays as active as ever and he is keeping a close eye on the progress of two young Ireland and Leinster centres.?Watching Robbie Henshaw and Garry Ringrose for Leinster strikes a nostalgic chord with ODriscoll, who knows a thing or two about the arts of rugbys midfield having played 133 times for Ireland, and when he starts waxing lyrical about their potential then you take notice.Leinsters 16-8 win at Connacht on January 4, 2014, was no landmark match in the big scheme of things -- Gordon DArcys match-winning try wasnt especially unique -- but it was the first time when the present and great Ireland partnership met the future in then Connacht No. 13 Henshaw.DArcy and ODriscoll were coming to the end of their rugby careers but there was something about Henshaw that stayed with the Leinster and British & Irish Lions legend. ODriscoll never played competitively against Ringrose, but similarly, his first encounter with the future Ireland centre left a lasting impression.?With Garry, the first time I saw him I thought he had huge promise, BT Sport pundit ODriscoll tells ESPN. He was with the Ireland U20s and they were training against the national team about three years ago. You could tell immediately he was pretty special.He was a lot skinnier then, he was pretty slight but his running angles were exceptional. He had a nice passing game and clearly had something different to his peers.Robbie grew on me, the more I saw of him. He was young when he first played for Connacht as an 18 or 19-year-old but what immediately stood out was in the first game I played against him, I tried to see if he had an edge and he certainly wasnt taking any backward steps.He wasnt going to be bullied around the place. Theyre going to complement one another beautifully and theyre pretty unique.DArcy and ODriscoll played a record 56 matches alongside each other in Irelands midfield. Leinster teammates Ringrose and Henshaw are yet to play together for Ireland -- the closest they came was when Ringrose replaced Henshaw in the early stages of their match against New Zealand in Dublin.The true acid test of any partnership is at international level but ODriscoll believes the two of them can take their form with Leinster to the next stage with Ireland.Theres huge potential there. I am very excited about watching them develop, ODriscoll said. The two of them are playing provincially together for the first time and youre looking at an opportunity of them playing in the national jersey as well.Knowing how young they are, they can forge a long-lasting centre partnership. They complement each other beautifully.Robbie Henshaw is the perfect 12 for the modern game -- hes big, physical but very skilful. And Garry Ringrose is a good tackler and elusive with bundles of pace and a great offloading game. They complement one another with Johnny Sexton at 10 and Joey Carbery. They have an embarrassing of riches there.The two link up again in Saturdays Champions Cup clash between Leinster and Northampton at the RDS. Ringrose and Henshaw tormented the Saints last Friday in a performance which reminded ODriscoll of the great Leinster team that won three European titles in four years from 2009 to 2012.He credits Stuart Lancaster with bringing an increased intensity to their defence to the extent that they now use it as an attacking weapon with Ringrose and Henshaw instrumental to that new approach.ODriscoll feels normal service has been resumed at his former province complete with a young all-Ireland partnership in the centres and there is a growing excitement that Leinster are on the way back to greatness.Tune in for round 4 of the European Rugby Champions Cup with Leicester v Munster, Saturday December 17 at 15:15, followed by Leinster v Northampton Saints at 19:45 and Sale v Saracens on Sunday December 18 at 17:30, exclusively live on BT Sport 2.

From the front, many of the new jerseys look a lot like the uniforms from the 1960s and 70s, or maybe like track and field jerseys, with thinner shoulder straps and classic scoop collars.

Nine days before the opening ceremony, organizing committee chief Dmitry Chernyshenko said Wednesday that Sochi is "fully ready" and will deliver safe, friendly and well-run games that defy the grim reports that have overshadowed preparations. Nike Air Vapormax Plus Australia .Y. -- The Buffalo Sabres have recalled forward Kevin Porter and defenceman Chad Ruhwedel from the minors as part of a five-player roster shuffle made by the NHLs worst team.MASON, Ohio -- Milos Raonic advanced to the third round of the Western & Southern Open on the same day fellow Canadians Vasek Pospisil and Eugenie Bouchard were knocked out. The 12th-seeded Raonic beat Janko Tipsarevic in straight sets, 6-4, 7-6 (4) on Wednesday. Its his third win in as many tries over Tipsarevic, and comes a day after he struggled somewhat in a three-set first-round match over American Jack Sock. "I played better than yesterday," Raonic said. "I was better from the baseline and created more opportunities for myself. It was a pretty clean match." Raonic will face American John Isner next. Isner won their only other match in the Toronto quarter-finals a year ago. "Isner will be tough, it will come down to a few points," Raonic said. "I have to serve well and keep the pressure on him in that sense. If I create opportunities I have to make the most of them and play as disciplined as possible." Raonic, a native of Thornhill, Ont., became the first Canadian man to be ranked in the top 10 in the world after reaching the final of the Rogers Cup in Montreal. He lost to Rafael Nadal after beating Pospisil in the semifinals. Pospisil, who rose to 40th in the world rankings after reaching the Rogers Cup semifinals, was upset Wednesday 7-5, 1-6, 7-6 (6) by Belgian qualifier David Goffin, whos ranked 80th. Pospisils prediction that he would have a tough time with Goffin proved to be correct, despite 13 aces and the Belgians nine double faults. He failed to convert on four match points. "It was a tough match with a lot of ups and downs," said Pospisil. "I didnt start great but I played better in the second set. Serving for the match and then in the tiebreak I played some shots too passively." Pospisil fell on a late break in the opening set but roared back to sweep the second. The third set was tight, with Pospisil grabbing a 6-5 lead on a break and moving into position to serve out victory. But the outcome was never secure as Goffin saved a match point in the next game and then forced Pospisil to salvage a break point before finally dropping to 6-6 on a forehand that went long. In the tiebreaker, Pospisil had three more match points and failed to convert on all of them. Goffin seized his opportunity with his first match point, converting it to send Pospisil out after nearly 2 1/2 hours. "He hit his best shot of the match on the last match point, too good," Pospisil said. "There are a lot of things I would have changed. But now I need to get some rest before the U.S. Open." Pospisil said he was feeling "a bit burnt oout" and needs to sharpen some things in practice.dddddddddddd "Im a little emotionally drained," he said. "Maybe its good to rest before the Open." Bouchard will get some rest after putting a scare into world No. 1 Serena Williams. Bouchard won th

Leicester flanker Mike Williams has been ruled out of Englands autumn series after breaking his arm.?Williams was being considered at openside by Eddie Jones but now faces up to three months on the sidelines with the injury sustained while warming up before last Saturdays victory over Worcester.Mike is in a cast and will take some specialist advice, but it looks like 8-12 weeks, Leicester director of rugby Richard Cockerill said.It is the third time in a year that Williams has sustained the same injury, resulting in a lengthier period of rehabilitation that would otherwise have been four to six weeks.Mike felt he had done something and thought it was just a bang, but the medical guys looked at it and Mike was pulled out before the kick off, Cockerill said.Mike is bitterly disappointed. You would have thought that had he continued the way he has been doing for the last couple of weeks he would have had a chance to play for England.The news means England have lost four players for the entire autumn series who were being considered at openside.James Haskell and Jack Clifford have succumbed to foot and ankle injuries, while Sam Jones broke his leg while practising judo during the recent ill-fated training camp in Brighton.Of the back row permutations being considered by Eddie Jones, the only option left available is Maro Itoje and Chris Robshaw packing down either side of Billy Vunipola.

Alex McCarthys proposed loan move from Crystal Palace to Fulham has fallen through. The two clubs were believed to have agreed a 93-day loan for the goalkeeper, who has struggled to establish himself as a first-team regular at Selhurst Park, starting just six games following a move from QPR last summer. He passed a medical on Monday evening only for the deal to collapse as he held talks at Fulhams training ground with the parties unwilling to commit to the agreement. Palace were initially happy for McCarthy to leave on loan, but were not pursuing a replacement goalkeeper at the time the deal was called off. Palace boss Alan Pardew earlier said he thought it was only fair that McCarthy be allowed to leave to get first-team football. Alan Pardew was happy for McCarthy to leave on loan [McCarthys] a great goalie and we want to get him up to speed and get him back playing his best football, so he needs game time, he said.I took that option, rather than Jules [Speroni] going out, because Jules is Palace through and through and I want him around in case anything happens to Wayne [Hennessey].We brought him here, and he started the season. It didnt quite work out, Waynes come in and grabbed his chance, so its only fair on him. Also See: Transfer Centre Latest transfer news Transfer betting Paper Talk Marvin Jones Jr Youth Jersey .
