KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Goals from Michele Christy and Mary Alice Vignola along with a strong defensive performance paved the way for a 2-0 shutout victory for Tennessee over Missouri on Thursday night at Regal Soccer Stadium.The Big Orange (5-4, 1-1 SEC) surrendered just three shots on goal to a high-scoring Tigers team that entered the night tied for fourth in the SEC with 18 goals this season. Head coach Brian Pensky decided to move Danielle Marcano and Maya Neal to the back line and it paid major dividends for the Volunteers.Tennessees back four of Marcano, Neal, Kathryn Culhane and Emily Morrow played the entire match and stifled the Mizzou attack throughout the night while helping the Vols record their second straight shutout and fourth overall this season.The Orange and White jumped out a 1-0 lead in the 32nd minute when Christy scored off a cross from Hannah Wilkinson. The Loveland, Ohio native one-timed Wilkinsons pass into the lower right corner of the net from the center of the box for her first goal of the year.UT generated a couple of other quality chances in the opening 45 minutes but was unable to add to its lead and went into the break with a one-goal cushion as well as an 8-5 shot advantage.Anna Bialczak nearly scored her second goal of the year in the 67th minute but her half-volley attempt from just outside the six-yard box rang off the crossbar. It didnt take long for Bialczak to get on the scoresheet however, as moments later she whipped a cross into the box from the left flank that was partially deflected by Wilkinson and ended up on the foot of a wide-open Vignola at the back post, who easily slotted it home for her second goal in as many games. Bialczak picked up her second assist of the year on the goal, which gave the Vols a 2-0 lead with just under 23 minutes to play in the game.The defense took over from there as the Tigers (5-3, 1-1 SEC) recorded only three shots for the remainder of the contest. Goalkeepers Shae Yanez and Jamie Simmons combined for the shutout for UT, each playing a half. Wilkinsons pair of assists on the night moved her into a tie for first on the team with 10 points and also moved her within two points of cracking Tennessees top-10 career scoring list.With the win, the Big Orange recorded back-to-back victories for the first time this season, picked up their first SEC win and also improved to 3-0 all-time against Missouri at home. UT will now hit the road for a pair of tough SEC matches next week at Georgia (Sept. 22) and at No. 4 Florida (Sunday). China NFL Jerseys . Louis. To which I would say two things: 1.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Kansas State slowly, methodically broke down Washington State on Saturday night.It probably shouldnt have been a surprise.The Cougars were already playing without forward Jeff Pollard, who has mono, and Vionte Daniels, who is dealing with the effects of a concussion. But then the news hit earlier in the day that Derrien King intends to transfer at the semester, leaving coach Ernie Kents even more short-handed on the road.Any time a player leaves, it hurts your team, Kent said after the Wildcats rolled to a 70-56 victory at the Sprint Center, and yet youre in an era of transferring and he made the decision to do that.It left Washington State with eight guys to match up with a deep, balanced bunch of Wildcats, though, and the Cougars certainly looked tired by the time the final seconds ticked off the clock.Wesley Iwundu had 15 points and eight rebounds, Barry Brown had 14 points, Dean Wade contributed 11 and Xavier Sneed finished with 10, all those scoring options helping Kansas State (9-1) overcome a lousy first-half shooting performance to win its 16th consecutive non-conference home game.It was also the Wildcats third straight win over the Cougars.We were trying to do stuff all on our own, Kansas State coach Bruce Weber said. Our defense was solid again, but we didnt do the things we needed to do offensively in the first half. Much better in the second.Indeed, Washington State (5-5) controlled almost the entire first half, never trailing until the final couple of minutes. But Kents team fell behind 28-26 headed into the locker room, and kept slipping farther behind during the second half, when the Wildcats heated up from the perimeter.They were 2 of 9 from 3-point range in the first half. They were 7 of 13 in the second.I think offensively we just came out slow, everybody was trying to probably put up the ball to see how it was going to go, Brown said. In the second half we just made the right play, made the simple passes and we were able to make some shots.Josh Hawkinson hadd 10 points and 10 rebounds for the Cougars.dddddddddddd Charles Callison also scored 10.In truth, there werent many bright moments in the first half for either team -- at one point, they combined for one field goal over a five-minute stretch. Turnovers were also a problem with the teams giving it up five times during that same abysmal period.But once the Wildcats assumed their first lead with 43 seconds left before halftime, they never trailed again. Their lead approached 20 points midway through the second half before coasting down the stretch.I thought the game was a tale of two halves, Kent said. We played I thought some really good basketball, probably our best basketball of the year in the first half and kept our composure. I thought Kansas State in the second half did a great job to keep their composure.STATS AND STREAKSThe Wildcats Kamau Stokes had just four points on 2-for-10 shooting. He was 0 for 5 from beyond the arc. ... Washington States starting guards, Malachi Flynn and Charles Callison, were a combined 4 for 15 from the field. ...

But the Cougars only wins since mid-November have come against Utah Valley and Idaho, with losses to Loyola, San Jose State and New Orleans along the way.Kansas State has built a glossy record thanks to an atrocious nonconference schedule. The Wildcats only tough game came in Brooklyn, when they lost 69-68 to Maryland. And things dont get a whole lot tougher with games against Colorado State and Gardner-Webb before Big 12 play.UP NEXTWashington State heads home to play Santa Clara next Saturday.Kanas State plays the Rams next Saturday in Denver.---More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 ' ' '
