CORVALLIS, Ore. -- Jahmel Taylor had missed three shots in a row, but he stayed focused and found open spaces on the floor. Then he made his next five shots from beyond the arc.Once I hit the first one, I was ready to hit the next one. It felt good and my teammates were getting me in the right spots, said the junior guard.Taylor had 21 points, shooting 6-for-10 on 3-pointers, and three steals as Fresno State held on to beat Oregon State 63-58 on Friday night.Fresno State coach Rodney Terry called Taylor a marksman who kept the team afloat when they were struggling early.He can really shoot the basketball. We dont win the Mountain West a year ago if hes not making big shots for us, he added.Paul Watson added 13 points and nine rebounds and Jaron Hopkins had 10 points for the Bulldogs (3-2).Tres Tinkle scored a career-high 31 points with 10 rebounds and six steals for the Beavers (2-4), who lost their fourth in a row. JaQuori McLaughlin added 12 points.Were not very united. Weve got a lot of individuals out there right now, said Oregon State coach Wayne Tinkle, Tres Tinkles father.Were just not playing hard enough. Were playing soft, he added.The Beavers led 21-10 early, but Fresno State closed the half on a 17-5 surge, fueled by Taylors four 3-pointers in the final three minutes. The Bulldogs led 27-26 at the break.Fresno State took control with a 17-2 run in the second half, capped by a Watson 3-pointer with 10:30 left.Cullen Russo was fouled with 35.7 seconds left and he made both free throws to give Fresno State a 61-55 lead.

Drew Eubanks had five blocks for the Beavers.AFTER A LOSSFresno State has responded to a loss with a win 10 straight times, and Taylor said Thursdays practice, which came after Tuesdays loss to Cal State Bakersfield, was very intense. After a loss, we make sure we buckle down, he added.PRESSURETerry said the Bulldogs had to bring defensive pressure up the court against the Beavers to try and neutralize Oregon States height. They had a great size advantage and they had some really good players on the interior that we werent going to be able to match up with consistently, Terry said.UP NEXTFresno State hosts Menlo College, a NAIA school, on Wednesday.Oregon State hosts NAIA Division II foe Southern Oregon on Monday.Josh Oliver Womens Jersey . -- Bobby Ryan helped the U.

With the short-handed Warriors needing help from someone -- anyone -- to stop a three-game skid, ONeal returned from right knee and groin injuries that had sidelined him for four games and put up season highs with 18 points and eight rebounds. It was just enough to help lift Golden State to a 102-101 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night.What went down in the fifth 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 Womens College Cup -- wherever that road may lead. Relocated to Cary, North Carolina, earlier this year because of stadium issues in Orlando, the College Cup is on the move again after the NCAA moved all 2016-17 championship events out of North Carolina. A new site has yet to be announced.Arkansas breaks through against FloridaSo what do we know about Arkansas after its second win this season against an opponent ranked in the top five? Well, it is probably safe to assert that the Razorbacks will hear a few more people politely decline invitations to Fayetteville. Not that some visitors have any choice. Thats the case for No. 4 Florida, which lost 2-1 at Arkansas in SEC play Friday. That came two weeks after Arkansas beat Duke by the same score.Conditions were a factor in a game delayed by inclement weather and played on a field that was visibly saturated. Against a Florida team that prefers to connect passes and play on the ground, a soggy surface was more of a home-field advantage for Arkansas than that provided by however many fans stuck around out of a crowd listed at 1,155. But there was nothing weather-aided about the ball Arkansas Jessi Hartzler drove into the top corner from 20 yards out in the 23rd minute for the first goal. And when Hartzler headed home a second goal minutes later on a corner kick, it wasnt the field that earned that corner but aggressiveness on the part of the Razorbacks. They held on under a barrage of second-half shots, but they earned the win.With a 2-1 win Sunday against Lipscomb, Arkansas is 9-1-0, the best start in program history.Upsets accumulating for GeorgetownA man with a sense of humor, Georgetown coach Dave Nolan might want to consider telling his team that its next opponent is East Virginia, with North and South to follow soon thereafter.A week after beating Virginia when the Cavaliers were unbeaten and ranked third in the nation, the Hoyas traveled to West Virginia on Sunday and came away with a 1-0 double-overtime win against an opponent that was ranked second in the nation. When Georgetown beat Rutgers in September, the Scarlet Knights still well regarded after a trip to the College Cup a season ago, it was arguably the programs best regular-season nonconference win in at least a decade. In the space of three weeks, it fell to no better than third on that list.Before Grace Damaska stunned the Mountaineers with a long-distance winner in the 102nd minute, the Hoyas also won Friday at George Washington. That was not an easy assignment in its own right, and it was all the more difficult sandwiched between the Virginia and West Virginia games.NC State escapes the mother of all shadowsArkansas went the first 20 games of its all-time series against Florida without a win. Thats a mere dry spell compared to the drought NC State has endured against its neighbor. A soccer afterthoughtt in a soccer-rich area, NC State entered Fridays game at North Carolina with a 1-44-2 record in the all-time series (19 more losses than against any other school).ddddddddddddThe lone win was in 2002. The Wolfpack had never won on the road at Fetzer Field.Not until a 1-0 win Friday.In a game with just 16 total shots, although enough of them on frame from the home team that NC State goalkeeper Sydney Wootten had to make eight saves, the Wolfpack got one opportunity and took it. Kia Rankins 67th-minute goal from a tight angle held up as the winner. All of that despite playing without leading scorer Jackie Stengel, injured in the teams previous game.ACC opening week doesnt disappointThe game in Chapel Hill was only part of the opening act in what remains the most compelling conference in the sport, even if results so far suggest this isnt the ACCs greatest vintage.Clemson, Duke and Virginia each used league openers to reassert their respective credentials. A loser in its two biggest road games of the first month, at West Virginia and South Carolina, Clemson traveled to Wake Forest and came away with a 2-1 win against the previously unbeaten Demon Deacons. Duke rebounded from a frustrating offensive performance in a loss to West Virginia a week earlier with a 3-2 win against Boston College -- rallying from two goals down against an opponent reduced to 10 players by a red card. And Virginia, fresh off that loss at Georgetown a week ago, got two set-piece goals from defender Kristen McNabb to wear down Virginia Tech 2-0, a game in which the Cavaliers piled up 23 shots and 12 corner kicks.But if those teams needed to win to make a statement, Syracuse did it with a draw. Just 8-23-2 in its first three seasons in the ACC, i.e. the deep end of the pool, Syracuse played Notre Dame to a 1-1 stalemate. Break down the record more, and the Orange are 3-1-1 in their five most recent ACC games.Northwesterns perfect month continuesIt was easy to imagine what Northwestern saw in Michael Moynihan when it tempted him away from Wisconsin-Milwaukee, no small feat given the nearly two decades he spent at a Horizon League school where the soccer field is named after his mother. It grows easier to imagine what he saw in a program that for years barely rippled the Big Ten waves.Northwestern shut out Purdue and Indiana to open Big Ten play this past week, neither result particularly notable on its own. But that gives the Wildcats six clean sheets in as many games this month. Not since DePaul scored in the fourth minute on Aug. 25 has Northwestern allowed a goal. Only Lehigh, which hasnt allowed a goal in a 6-0-1 start, has a stingier defensive record.It makes you wonder if the Wildcats, now 9-0-0, might be able to build the same kind of deep postseason run around their defense that Rutgers did out of the Big Ten a season ago.And wouldnt you know, Northwestern visits New Jersey this week.[url=http://www.authenticwholesalejerseys.net/]Cheap Jerseys[defense that Rutgers did out of the
