OXFORD, OH - Head coach Darren Ambrose and the Vandy soccer squad knew their youngest players had the ability to bring some spark, but no one knew how soon the class would showcase their skill.?The answer came early and in dramatic fashion as freshman Kaylann Boyd and transfer Jacqueline Welch registered their first collegiate goals to bring VU to victory.Its always nice to win, especially on the road, said Ambrose. The field was small and that made the game more of a physical contest than a soccer game. But our team adapted as the game went one, and found a way to win. The freshmen showed confidence, we talked about needing to make intentional contact and holding onto the ball, as a result we got a foul in the first half and a goal off a penalty kick.Thanks to Vanderbilts defense, Fridays opener seemed to be over and in the books as VU struck first in the 13th minute and held the Redhawks at bay for 84 minutes.The Commodores initial goal came from a confident Boyd, who took a penalty kick after Nia Dorsey took a hard foul following a corner kick. Inside the 18 and looking to secure the lead, the newcomer out of Atlanta took the PK, and placed the ball straight in the back of the Miami net.As soon as Nia was fouled I looked around to see if anyone was going to take the penalty kick, said Boyd. I actually like PKs, I did them all during high school and club, its not normal, but do like taking them (laughing). I just knew that we needed a good start, and getting that goal would get us rolling. I knew that if we made it we would be just fine.Heading into the half, Miami led Vandy three shots to Boyds one. But one was all it took as the Dores momentum flooded into the second half of play fueling the defense to make several crucial stops.A true team win, Vanderbilts offense played its part, forcing the Redhawk defense to battle and stay on their toes. The squad bombarded MU throughout the second half, earning two corners and a high header by Grace Jackson all within four minutes (62:31-66:33). The Dores missed chances to convert in the final third to guarantee an insurance goal.Ten minutes later both teams exchanged shots as Simmons blasted off her first of the season, which was saved by Miami goalie Patricia Koutoulas. Miami proceeded to tie the match, but the Commodores offensive overtime urgency paid off in tenfold as Welch connected off an assist by Brook Colangelo.Welch, a Winnetka, Ill. native, slid from the right side of the field, barely touching the ball, but just enough so it would roll into the goal on a sharp angle and clinch the opening overtime victory.Coach said before overtime that us younger girls would figure out pretty quick that we dont lose in overtime, said Welch. I felt a lot pressure going in, because I wanted to keep that true. I just tried to work has hard as I could and Brook played a really great ball after a switch in the midfield. I just stuck my foot out and tried to get anything on it. I poked it right where the goalie couldnt save it. It was really exciting!Looking ahead, the Commodores return to Nashville on Sunday, but will be competing at Lipscomb against the Bisons. Kickoff is scheduled for 5:00 pm CT at the Lipscomb Soccer Complex, with admission free to the public. Sean Bunting Womens Jersey .

Sean Bunting Jersey . -- Jimmie Johnson held off a teammate, passed a pair of Hall of Famers, and dominated once more at Dover.BOSTON – Josh Johnson wasnt looking for excuses. "No," replied Johnson when asked if he felt he was getting squeezed by home plate umpire Bruce Dreckman early in Fridays 7-5 loss to the Red Sox. "I mean, thats part of the game. I dont ever complain about the calls or anything like that." Johnsons performance of 3 1/3 innings, five earned runs on eight hits and a whopping 90 pitches, had manager John Gibbons rolling through his bullpen once again. "We got beat up in the rotation again," said Gibbons. "That makes it tough." Johnsons evening of hard labour came one night after Chien-Ming Wang was shelled for seven runs in just 1 2/3 innings. The math wont come up Blue Jays here: the bullpens been taxed for 11 innings of work in 24 hours. "We battled to come back and tie it," said Gibbons, crediting his offence for overcoming an early 5-0 deficit. "They dropped two on us, again, real quick. But the bullpen cant be perfect every night, theyve been pitching so well. It starts with the starter and theyve been taking it to us pretty good." Toronto chipped away with three runs in the fifth, one in the sixth and the tying run in the seventh on Edwin Encarnacions club-leading 23rd home run. In the bottom half, Neil Wagner was chased from the game after back to back singles by Shane Victorino and Dustin Pedroia, both of whom would later come around to score, breaking the 5-5 logjam. It would have been inconceivable in spring training to consider the notion of Johnson having but one win as a Blue Jay at the halfway point of the season. But, due in part to injury and in part to inconsistency when available, the lone victory is all Johnson has to show for his time in Toronto. The Blue Jays werent taking the bait on the subject of Dreckman, who appeared to have a fluctuating strike zone early in the ball game, one that benefitted Bostons rookie starter, Allen Webster. On the fourth pitch of the game, with the count 2-1, Jose Reyes took a second strike that, according to the Red Soxs TV rightholders "K-Box," was slightly off the outside corner of the plate. A fair call, if its made consistently and for both pitchers. It wasnt. Johnson was forced to grind through deep count strikeouts of Jacoby Ellsbury and Victorino in the first. In both at-bats, Johnson was just off the outside corner with fastballs similar to Websters versus Reyes. Those pitches were called balls. In the second, Johnson battled Mike Napoli to a full count but lost him to a walk, then fell behind 2-1 to left-hand hitting Daniel Nava on another close pitch.dddddddddddd Nava would single, both he and Napoli would later score and the Red Sox were off to the races. Johnson struggled. He didnt pitch well enough to win. To his credit, he didnt make excuses when offered an opportunity to do so. That said, its reasonable to argue Johnson was forced to pitch a different game than Webster, a game which required him to cut more of the plate with his pitches. Bostons offence, chalk full of notoriously patient hitters, sat on ready made fastballs and sliders which didnt have their customary break. It added up to a tough night. Toronto dropped to 1-4 on the road trip and now the best the Jays can hope for this weekend is a split of this series at Fenway Park. ROGERS LOOKS TO BOUNCE BACK Esmil Rogers gets the start in Saturdays late afternoon game against the Red Sox. Hes looking to bounce back after taking the loss in a 4-1 defeat on Monday in Tampa Bay. "I dont try to worry about nothing," said Rogers. "Im just trying to go into the game like the same as I do right now. The confidence I lost was just one inning, the third inning thats it, the other innings it was great. Ive just got to get everything back and get ready for tomorrow." In four starts since taking the rotation spot of the injured Brandon Morrow (forearm strain), Rogers is 2-1 with a 2.67 ERA. Left-hander Felix Doubront (4-3, 4.33) is scheduled to pitch for the Red Sox. KAWASAKI RETURNS Munenori Kawasaki returned to the Blue Jays clubhouse after a two-day stop with Triple-A Buffalo. He didnt miss a beat with the media. "Good to see you," he said. As for his brief time in the minor leagues: "Buffalo," he said. "I like Buffalo teammates. Good. Everybody nice guy. I appreciate it. Thank you very much." Asked what he hoped to accomplish this go-around: "I cant speak English." The affable 32-year-old embraced teammates upon arriving in the clubhouse. MILLER PASSES AWAY The Blue Jays are mourning the death of pitcher Justin Miller, a member of the 2002, 2004 and 2005 teams. Miller, 35, was found dead at his home in Palm Harbor, Florida. No cause of death has been released. Miller had a career 24-14 record with a 4.82 ERA over 216 appearances, 33 starts. He had appeared most recently for the Dodgers in 2010. ' ' '
