The Kansas women's soccer team is still scoreless in Big 12 play after falling to TCU 1-0 Friday. The same story keeps appearing — the team played well enough to win, but didn't finish.
TCU also came into the match scoreless and winless, but that changed in minute 17 of the match when midfielder Kelly Johnson scored her first goal of the season, off a corner kick. Kansas outshot TCU 13-3 in the second half, and 20-15 in the match. Sophomores Ashley Williams and Liana Salazar led the team with four shots each. Junior goalkeeper Kaitlin Stroud had six saves, compared to three from TCU's goalkeeper Vittoria Arnold.

One of the best scoring opportunities came from the foot of TCU midfielder Hanna Kallmaier late in the second half. Kallmaier's strong shot ended up hitting the crossbar and no Jayhawk was able to take another shot off the rebound.
arkansas made some lineup changes to try to spark the offense. Junior Haley Yearout, who is usually a defender, started the match at forward. This and other changes couldn't produce a goal, and the Jayhawks are still looking for their first Big 12 goal after three matches.

DETROIT — John Lackey edged Justin Verlander in the latest duel of these pitching-rich playoffs, and Boston's bullpen shut down Detroit's big boppers with the game on the line to lift the Red Sox over the Tigers 1-0 Tuesday for a 2-1 lead in the AL championship series.
Mike Napoli homered off Verlander in the seventh inning, and Detroit's best chance to rally fell short in the eighth when Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder struck out with runners at the corners. Despite three straight gems by their starters, the Tigers suddenly trail in a best-of-seven series they seemed to have complete control of only two days ago. Game 4 is Wednesday night at Comerica Park, with Jake Peavy scheduled to start for the Red Sox against Doug Fister.
Lackey allowed four hits in 62-3
It was the second 1-0 game in this matchup between the highest-scoring teams in the majors. That's been the theme throughout these playoffs, which have included four 1-0 scores and seven shutouts in the first 26 games.
innings, striking out eight without a walk in a game that was delayed 17 minutes in the second inning because lights on the stadium towers went out.
After rallying from a five-run deficit to even the series in Game 2, Boston came away with a win in Detroit against one of the game's best pitchers. The Tigers had a chance for their own comeback in the eighth when Austin Jackson drew a one-out walk and Torii Hunter followed with a single.
Napoli's homer was the first run allowed by Verlander since Sept. 18 — he pitched six scoreless innings in each of his last two starts in the regular season before
The Red Sox appeared to be in deep trouble when Detroit led 5-0 in Game 2, but David Ortiz tied it with an eighth-inning grand slam off closer Joaquin Benoit, and the Red Sox won it in the ninth.
Verlander looked ready to halt any notion of momentum for the Red Sox. He struck out six straight in the second and third, matching a single-game postseason record.

That streak ended with one swing by Napoli.

Lackey did his best to keep pace, retiring 10 in a row before Peralta's double.
The Tigers had taken no-hitters into at least the sixth inning of the previous three games. Verlander fell an out short of extending that streak when Jonny Gomes hit a roller up the middle for an infield single in the fifth.
Sharp, Blackhawks beat Carolina 3-2 in shootout
RALEIGH, N.C. — Patrick Sharp scored in the shootout and the Chicago Blackhawks claimed the 2,500th victory in club history by beating the Carolina Hurricanes 3-2 Tuesday night.
Sharp and Marian Hossa also scored 2:22 apart in the first period for the defending Stanley Cup champions, who blew a 2-0 lead in the third before winning in the tiebreaker.
Corey Crawford finished with 32 saves, then stopped three Carolina shooters in the shootout.
Crawford then stuffed Jeff Skinner to end it, making the Blackhawks the last of the Original Six to reach the 2,500-win mark.
Ward stopped 34 shots for Carolina, which wrapped up a winless three-game homestand against Western Conference teams but managed to earn two points during that stretch.
The Blackhawks appeared well on their way to an easy victory when they
took a two-goal lead into the third. Ron Hainsey tied it with 7:27 left when his blast from the blue line went through traffic — and between defenseman Michal Roszival's legs — on its way past Crawford. But that was the last puck to get past the Chicago goalie.
The Blackhawks, who entered having scored more than two goals only once since the opener, scored twice in the opening minutes.
