GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Auburn picked a great time to play its most complete match of the season in a 3-0 victory at No. 12 Florida on Thursday night. Kristen Dodson netted a brace and Courtney Schell added another to guide the Tigers (6-4-0, 2-1-0 SEC) to their first win in Gainesville in program history.I couldnt be more proud of our team the way we bounced back after our South Carolina game, said head coach Karen Hoppa. With the bounce-back and the perseverance this team showed, I thought we played great soccer, especially the first 30 minutes. We were doing what we were capable of doing and we just grinded out the victory in the second half.Auburns 3-0 margin of victory was the largest it has ever had versus Florida (6-3-0, 1-2-0) and marks the first time the Tigers have shutout the Gators on the road all-time.The Auburn back line also held all-american forward Savannah Jordan without a shot on goal.The back line kept everything in front of us, no matter what, said Kiana Clarke. Our midfielders did a great job doubling down.Dodson put Auburn ahead 1-0 in the 24th minute after she forced a defensive miscue and poked a shot across the line to give the Tigers a lead they would maintain into the break.The Gators nearly leveled the score line in the 60th minute, but Sarah Le Beau made a one-on-one save on a shot from six yards out.Auburn doubled its lead when Brooke Ramsier sent in a corner that found the head of Schell, who fired it to the near post and by the goalkeeper in the 83rd minute.I knew the second goal was coming for us sooner or later, said Schell. Brooke [Ramsier] hit a great ball, I found it on my head and went in, luckily.Just two minutes later, Dodson netted her second of the match when she stole the ball from the advanced goalkeeper again and slotted a shot into the net from 35 yards out and capped the score at 3-0 just before the final whistle sounded.I just continued to pressure the keeper and she couldnt get the ball out of her feet fast enough, stated Dodson. I just got a touch on it and was able to put it into the back of the net.The three-goal victory for Auburn also goes down as Floridas largest home defeat ever in conference play.Florida is an incredible program, said Hoppa.

Almost 46 years to the day after the NFL first staked a claim on Monday night, theres finally a better matchup on another channel.Hillary vs. The Donald.For years, generals and politicians used sports metaphors to explain some of the most consequential issues of our time. So just this once, lets flip the script. Forget for a moment that the future of America -- not to mention civilization -- hangs in the balance. Instead, imagine the debate as a sporting event ...Think Trump as Mike Tyson. Announcer: Hes still looking to land that one big punch. And hes had it with the fact-checking low blows and policy-question clinches. Hold on! Did he just bite the top of her ear off?Or Clinton as the late, usually mild-mannered Arizona Cardinals coach Dennis Green, firing back at critics who suggested she didnt take her opponent seriously enough: He is who we thought he was! Thats why I took the stage! Now if you want to crown him, you can crown him! But he is who we thought he was!Its so tempting that a number of political analysts are using sports-writing tools to break down the matchup: offense vs. defense, strengths and weaknesses, how the coaching staffs and training facilities stack up, even how the practice sessions have been going.No one has posted a point spread yet, so feel free to add your own Mercifully, weve also been spared a Tale of the Tape.Were excluding pro wrestling comparisons, because thats too easy. Already, billionaire Dallas Mavericks owner and former Trump-confidant-turned-critic Mark Cuban bragged about snagging a front-row seat for what he called the Humbling at Hofstra. Trump countered by inviting Gennifer Flowers, who claimed a long-running affair with Clintons husband.And I hear from a lot of people that Trumps camp lobbied to have close pal Don King replace NBCs Lester Holt as moderator.The best comparisons to the Clinton-Trump battle from different sports:FOOTBALLClinton is serious and prepared. She uses her practice time purposefully. She has experience, a multitude of game plans and knows how to manage the clock. If she was a player, shed be Peyton Manning. If she was a coach -- lets see: wonky, secretive, willing to bend rules, even got caught recently fudging an injury report -- shed be Bill Belichick. Definitely Belichick.As a player, Trump would be Brett Favre, a gunslinger who was at his best on broken plays and never saw a throw he wouldnt make.ddddddddddddIf he was a coach, hed be Chip Kelly in his Oregon days, breaking the mold with his house-on-fire offensive attack. Or maybe Steve Spurrier at Florida, less worried about what his opponents might do than whether he could sneak out of a film session and squeeze in nine holes before sundown.BASEBALLClinton would be a reliable contact hitter with decent power. She can use the whole field, bunt or move the runner over when called for -- in short, Ted Williams. Teddy Ballgame did all those things -- and still managed to alienate the Boston media and even some fans. Plus, his family chose to have his remains frozen, so -- he could still have a comeback worthy of Clinton.Trump would be Barry Bonds, a threat to homer in every at-bat, but also arrogant, willing to break the rules and unapologetic about it. Like the late-career Bonds, hed also need an XXL-sized hat.If they were managers, shed be Buck Showalter and hed be Bob Brenly.Brenly succeeded Showalter as skipper of the Arizona Diamondbacks and in his first spring-training meeting with the team, dropped Showalters inch-thick organization handbook on the floor and pulled out a cocktail napkin with his rules scrawled across it. They read: Be on time. Play hard.BASKETBALLThere hasnt been so much ego confined in a space about the size of an NBA lane since long-retired titans Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain battled.Russell was the ultimate defender, always in position and so ready to plug holes his Celtic teammates devised the Hey Bill defense; anytime an opponent broke free and headed for the hoop, they simply yelled Hey Bill.Chamberlain was brought a skillset unlike any big man before him. He hogged the prime real estate on the court, drew all eyes to him and scored almost at will. And did we mention his lavish tastes?As a coach, Clinton would be Gregg Popovich, tailoring his schemes to fit the talent on the floor and eager to use immigrants like Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker. Trump would be Larry Brown, a his-way-or-the-highway leader who quickly loses interest in failing ventures quickly and thinks the team bus should always be running in case he needs to make his latest getaway.
