COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Fans who stayed up late Wednesday night to watch South Carolina volleyball face Tennessee (10-5, 1-2 SEC) were treated to an instant classic, as the Gamecocks (13-1, 1-1) rallied time and time again to earn a five-set win. The match almost stretched into Thursday morning, but after 42 ties and 12 total lead changes, the dust finally settled in Carolinas favor.1st Set: The tone for the night was set early, as the opening game featured 13 ties and five lead changes by itself. The set would be tied at 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 before Carolina got some breathing room at 21-19. After a block from Alicia Starr and Mikayla Shields put the home side up 23-20, Tennessee would take a timeout. The Volunteers rallied hard out of the break, scoring four straight points to serve for the set at 24-23. Carolina tied it up at 24 on a Shields kill, but the Vols scored the final two points for the 26-24 win and the early advantage.2nd Set: The Gamecocks were not ready to let the match slip away just yet, and came out firing on all cylinders in the second set. Five kills accounted for the teams first eight points of the game, and Tennessee called an early timeout after falling behind 8-2. The visitors would get no closer than three points for the rest of the way, and Megan Kirkland served the Gamecocks to a 8-2 run later in the game to balloon the lead out to 20-10. Carolina outhit Tennessee .360-.038 for the set and went into halftime tied 1-1 after the 25-12 win.3rd Set: The Volunteers put the Gamecocks in unfamiliar territory after coming back to take the third game, 25-23. Carolina had again led the set late, this time at 18-16, but Tennessee put down 18 kills total to overpower the Gamecocks down the stretch. This was the first time since Sept. 5 of last season that South Carolina had trailed 2-1 in a match it would eventually win, but it would take a clutch performance in the fourth set to even have a chance.4th Set: After holding the lead for the first half of the fourth, Tennessee ran off a 6-1 run to take a 16-14 lead and strung the advantage out to 18-15 before the Gamecocks would burn a timeout to regroup. South Carolina chipped away and reclaimed the 21-20 lead thanks to a 3-0 burst behind Joely Cabreras serve. Tennessee tied it back up at 21-all, but kills from Shields and Starr on three straight possessions broke the tie and Shields capped the game win with her 15th kill of the night to force a fifth set.5th Set: South Carolina needed one more comeback to earn its win, because Tennessee jumped out to an early two-point cushion and forced the Gamecocks into a timeout after taking a 9-6 lead. The home side needed a spark to overcome the deficit, and they got it from senior Dessaa Legros. The pin put her set from Aubrey Ezell straight down on the 10-foot line to cut UTs lead to 11-10, and got the crowd and her teammates on their feet. A big block right after from Koko Atoa-Williams and Jacqy Angermiller tied the set up, and Joely Cabrera capped the all-important 3-0 run with an ace to put the Gamecocks ahead 12-11. Atoa-Williams had two of her eight total kills on the night to make it 13-12 and 14-13, pushing the team to match point, and a hitting error capped the win.Quotable: Head Coach Scott SwansonOn the teams win I feel like we just beat a really, really good team... Lots of momentum shifts, and a lot of really good things by a lot of young players on both sides. It was a nerve-wracking match for the coaches, but it was a really fun match.On the big kill from Legros in the fifth set All the credit in the world goes to our passers. It was Joely, it was Megan, it was Koko, for a good stretch there they had three passes every single time and thats what got us in it. We were able to side out, we were able to set who we wanted to set, and we got around that big block getting splits because of the pass. Great setting, off of great passing -- hitting is easy.Up NextThe team will wrap up week two of the conference season with a Sunday afternoon match against Kentucky. Starting at 1:30, the Gamecocks will need to dig deep again to knock off a Wildcat squad that swept No. 5 Florida in straight sets in Gainesville Wednesday night. The match will air on the SEC Network+ online channel. Wholesale Jaguars Jerseys .

CLEVELAND -- Dressed sharply in a suit, the epitome of a professional, tight end Jason Witten stood at his locker Sunday like he has done so many times in a brilliant 13-year NFL career.The Dallas Cowboys had won their seventh straight game, and Witten quickly credited the contributions of the teams newest offensive stars -- rookies Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott, two young guns playing like seasoned vets.As if on cue, Elliott emerged from the shower and paid his respects.Old Man Witten ... Old Man Witten, Elliott sang, drawing a smile from Witten.On Sunday, one of the old Cowboys showed he can still ride.Witten caught a 26-yard touchdown pass and finished with eight receptions for 134 yards as the Cowboys thrashed the Cleveland Browns 35-10 to improve to 7-1.Solid and steady for years, Witten accounted for more than half of Dallas passing yardage. He was Prescotts favorite target, taking advantage of huge openings in Clevelands soft defense.He just did a great job, Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said. Much of it was in a complementary role to what we were doing in the running game, but he was the beneficiary and he just has a really good feel for getting open.You hear me talk a lot about quarterback-friendly, and hes the ultimate quarterback-friendly guy. He always gets himself open. The quarterbacks love throwing to him. He was able to catch a lot today.Witten has been doing it for a long time.With 1,058 receptions, 11,639 yards and 10 Pro Bowls, he ranks among the best tight ends in league history. He appears destined for enshrinement in Canton, Ohio, one day. But in the interim hes doing all he can to contribute to these new-look Cowboys, who are off to their best start since 2007.Sure, the Cowboys have been infused with youth, but Witten gives them invaluable experience.Of course, hes not an old guy, 74-year-old owner Jerry Jones said with a smile. But Im sure he feels old out there with the other footballl players.dddddddddddd For all that hes done for this team and this game, Im happy that hes able to have this type of game.Jason Witten is in the top five people, personally, that Ive met since Ive been in the NFL -- coaches, owners, players, everybody. He really is that good of a man.It was Wittens first 100-yard game in three years and it provided a perfect balance to Elliotts running and Prescott, who has quieted any discussion about Tony Romo returning to the lineup anytime soon.As Ellliott and Prescott changed near his locker, Witten said the rookies have rejuvenated him.They create a lot of energy, he said. They make me feel young. Each and every day I tell them that. Theyve brought energy to our football team.For a veteran player like myself, when you look at young guys, the first thing you look at besides the skill level and things like that is `Do they love football? Those two really exemplify that more than anything Ive seen in a long time.They love football, they love it on Sundays, but they also love it during the grind of the week.Prescott said Witten leads the way. His contributions go beyond what he brings onto the field.Hes a great vet to have on Sundays and really on Monday, as well, he said. What he brings to the offense, to this team, his demeanor and how he goes about his business and how detailed he is, makes you want to be great.Wittens TD came on a play where he was left wide open. Later, he showed off a nice spin move, drawing a few shake and bake quotes from teammates.Witten got a kick out of that.My games never really referenced a shake and bake, he said, laughing. Ill take that. I believe I can play at that high level at tight end that people saw me play when I was younger.--For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Jerseys China Jerseys Wholesale Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping China Jerseys Wholesale Cheap Jerseys 2020 Cheap Jerseys Online Cheap Jerseys Store ' ' '
