Kritik und Lob » s Saturday night in a 5-1 win against t

Australias tall timber shooters Caitlin Bassett and Gretel Tippett posed New Zealand plenty of problems as the Diamonds thumped the Silver Ferns 68-56 in the first Constellation Cup netball Test in Sydney.The Diamonds equalled their highest ever score against the Silver Ferns on Sunday and never trailed again after conceding the first goal of the match.They scored the next nine and the visitors never got closer than two in the first half and the gap didnt dip below nine in the second.Player of the match, the 193cm Bassett, followed up her international career best effort of 53 goals in Australias last game against the Silver Ferns by nailing all 47 of her attempts before being replaced at three-quarter time.Tippett, at 192cm , was starting a Test alongside Bassett for the first time and shot three from four in the first half.But she racked up seven assists and troubled the Ferns with her athleticism and unorthordox play.We really wanted to expose the C Bass-Gretel combination today and it was probably a dream start for that, Diamonds coac h Lisa Alexander said.Australias four shooters missed just four of their combined 72 shots.Their deadeye accuracy was complemented by tencious defence which forced 24 turnovers and accurate feeding, especially from wing attack Madi Robinson..Australia won each of the first two quarters 16-11 to lead 32-22 at halftime.They piled on the agony for the Ferns in the third, outscoring them 22-16 to lead 54- 38 at the final change.New Zealand salvaged some pride in the final quarter, winning it 18-14.It was an excellent three quarter effort, the last quarter will burn in us a little bit because were after winning every quarter, Alexander said.Bailey Mes top scored for New Zealand with 28, but committed eight turnovers under pressure from the irrepressible Sharni Layton.They took the game by the throat from the very first whistle and we were very slow to start, so we have to have a very good look at that, New Zealand coach Janine Southby said.At times we strung together some good plays but it wasnt consistent enough, so overall (Im) pretty disappointed.The four-match series continues in Launceston on Wednesday.

Ducks Jerseys 2021 . -- The Bishops Gaiters are showing they belong among the countrys top varsity football teams. RALEIGH, N.C. -- The San Jose Sharks are aiming to repeat their epic November road trip from a year ago.The soon-to-be Western Conference champions reeled off six consecutive road wins last season over a nine-day period after a mediocre start.Now, San Jose is 3-0-0 on its current six-game Eastern Conference swing, having outscored Washington, Florida and Tampa Bay -- three pretty good teams -- by a combined 10-3 heading into a game at Carolina on Tuesday night as part of another six-game road trip.Sharks goalie Martin Jones has a .959 save percentage during the road trip, raising his season save percentage to .913. He finished at .918 last season.They are one of the better teams in the league overall, not just in the West, Carolina coach Bill Peters said. It looks liked their same timing from a year ago, getting on a roll. They are a good veteran team and are good on the back end. (Defenseman) Brent Burns is a special player back there with the fact that hes up the ice a lot and is unpredictable and can shoot it, so we have to know where he is on the ice. They have a nice, deep team.Carolina, last in the Metropolitan Division and in the middle of a five-game homestand, has had surprising success against the Sharks, going 8-3 over the past 11 meetings despite missing the playoffs the last seven seasons.They are a good team and have had success in the past, but I dont know if you get extra motivated to play them, said Carolinas leading scorer, Jeff Skinner. You should be motivated anyway, but were all aaware how good a team they are, so you have to come in knowing its a good opportunity to rise to the challenge.ddddddddddddPeters didnt rule out the return of two-time All-Star defenseman Justin Faulk, although it is more likely Faulk could return Friday against the red-hot Montreal Canadiens.Hes close; he was able to do everything in practice but the battles, Peters said of his star defenseman, who has missed two games with an upper-body injury.Peters juggled his lines Saturday night in a 5-1 win against the Capitals after the Hurricanes had gotten off to another slow start to the season. The new line of Jordan Staal, Teuvo Teravainen and Sebatian Aho picked up 11 points vs. Washington.Were trying to find the right spot for a lot of different guys, Peters said.Defenseman Matt Tennyson made his Carolina debut against Washington, and he will be in action again Tuesday against his former team.He deserves the opportunity to stay in the lineup, Peter said. The whole trick is no matter how many minutes you get is to be productive on those minutes, and he managed the puck well the other night. He looked like he was real composed out there.On Monday, the Hurricanes terminated the contract of Jakub Nakladal. The 28-year-old defenseman was signed by Carolina as a free agent Oct. 9. He appeared in three games and did not register a point and was minus-4, averaging 14:30 of ice time. ' ' '
