Nicolas Batum Jersey .Im disappointed with how we performed tonight, 12th-season head coach Craig Skinner said. I didnt think our warmup was great and the sense of urgency was definitely on USCs side of the net. Give credit to them for making adjustments and getting their offense going this week to prepare for the match. Quick turnaround tonight, but well find a way to get back after it again tomorrow.With the loss, UK falls to 2-2 on the season, while Southern California advances to 1-3. The Cats have no time to dwell on the defeat, continuing the USC Radisson Classic Saturday afternoon with a doubleheader, first facing No. 22 Creighton at 3 p.m. ET before a quick turnaround, taking on Northern Iowa at 8 p.m. ET.The Wildcats were paced offensively by their outside hitters. Freshman Leah Edmond led the squad in kills (10) and hitting percentage of the teams high-volume attackers (.300). Junior Darian Mack came a kill short of double-figures with nine and tacked on five digs.Junior middle blocker Emily Franklin led the defense at the net with four rejections including a solo stuff while notching three kills. Middle blocker Kaz Brown (five kills), setter Olivia Dailey (27 assists, four digs) and opposite Brooke Morgan (three kills) each added a pair of blocks.Junior libero Ashley Dusek had just her third game in the past two seasons with single-digit digs, leading Kentucky with nine.?Sophomore McKenzie Watson and senior outside hitter Anni Thomasson each scored on aces and contributed seven and three digs, respectively.Sophomore outside hitter Anna Nyberg contributed a pair of kills and two digs, while senior opposite Sharay Barnes made her season debut, scoring on a slide in the third set. Sophomore defensive specialist Harper Hempel appeared in two sets and was credited for an assist.SET RECAPS Set 1 Southern Cal opened the match on a 5-0 run and never looked back. Edmond and Brown were the lone Cats to notch multiple kills in the first set, with Brown scoring both of hers in the midst of a 4-1 Kentucky run to make the score 14-8 in USCs favor. Kentucky forced three consecutive errors from the Women of Troy, prompting a USC timeout as the team led by five, 18-13. The sides traded points but UK could not close the gap in the closest set of the three, as Southern Cal won, 25-19.Set 2 Mack led UK in the second set with a trio of kills and digs, as the sides alternated scoring in the early going to an 8-8 tie. USC then rattled off seven unanswered points in which Kentucky used both its timeouts. Kentucky scored two in a row to close the gap to five, 15-10, before USC took 10 of the final 15 points including a 5-0 spurt. UK fended off two match points, prolonging USCs attack before dropping the set, 25-15.Set 3 Edmond exploded in the third, scoring a set-best five kills in the final frame. Once again the early going was tight, with Kentucky and Southern Cal tying at 7-7. Kentucky hung around, closing a three-point gap to one before a 4-0 run gave USC a 15-11 lead. Kentucky pulled within one once again at 16-15 before a string of Wildcat errors helped the Women of Troy take a five point lead, 20-15. USC closed out the match on a 4-0 run for the 25-17 win in the deciding set.BY THE NUMBERS 12 - For the first time in 2016, 12 Wildcats saw action in the match.6 - UK posted six blocks, the most in a three-set match this season.4 - Kentucky freshman Leah Edmond has now led the Wildcats in kills in each of the seasons four matches.3 - For just the third time in the past two seasons junior libero Ashley Dusek was limited to single-figure digs. Alonzo Mourning Jersey . -- Whether Jeremy Hill deserves a prominent role in LSUs offence this early in the season is a matter for debate. Percy Miller Hornets Jersey . Oaklands loss to Seattle clinched the ALs best record for the Red Sox with one day to spare in the regular season. "I think everybody was kind of watching," catcher David Ross said. "Demp (Ryan Dempster) came out before he went to the bullpen and was just yelling that they lost. http:///...dges-Hornets-Jersey/ . Halifax beat the Saint John Sea Dogs 7-5 on the strength of two goals apiece from Nikolaj Ehlers, Matt Murphy and Brent Andrews. Jonathan Drouin also scored and had three assists while Zachary Fucale made 17 saves for the Mooseheads (16-8-0), who led 6-1 after two periods. ROME -- Joe Harts Torino debut was a day to forget for the England goalkeeper.Hart gifted Atalanta the equalizer and failed to stop a penalty in a 2-1 loss Sunday.The troubles began when Hart misjudged a corner, leapt late and only got a weak glove on the ball, which turned into an assist for Andrea Masiello waiting at the far post. With Hart sprawled out on the pitch, Masiello turned the ball into an empty net.He could have done better, Torino coach Sinisa Mihajlovic said.Torino had taken the lead two minutes earlier in the second half with a splendid free kick from Iago Falque.Franck Kessie scored the winner eight minutes from the end, rolling in a penalty to the right corner as Hart went in the other direction.On loan from Manchester City, Hart became the first English goalkeeper to play in Serie A since the leagues inception in 1929.Harts miscue came a day after Claudio Bravo, his replacement at City, dropped a cross to let Zlatan Ibrahimovic score in the Manchester derby. Still, City won 2-1.Things went wrong for Hart from the start, with his name listed as John Hart on the official team sheet.Harts lone highlight came midway through the first half when he made a difficult save on a sharply angled shot from Kessie, a 19-year-old Ivory Coast international.City manager Pep Guardiola let Hart go due to questions over the players distribution capabilities and Mihajlovic joked on Saturday that he would be happy to take in any other players Guardiola deems unworthy.Mihajlovic could have used one of Citys strikers, as Torino was without its two top forwards, Andrea Belotti and Adem Ljajic, who were both out injured.It was a frustrating match for Mihajlovic, who was sent off for protesting shortly after the half-hour mark after also kicking a water bottle.It was the fourth time in two seasons that Mihajlovic has been sent off, including his time in charge of AC Milan last season.Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperino was also sent off for protesting in the final minutes.Torino and Atalanta each have three points from their opening three matches.Heres what else happened in Serie A:---FRANCESCO FOREVEROn the cusp of his 40th birthday, Francesco Totti showed he still has what it takes to turn a match around.Roma was trailing Sampdoria 2-1 at halftime -- which turned into a break of more than aan hour due to a rain downpour -- when Totti came on and set up one goal for Edin Dzeko then converted a penalty for a 3-2 win. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist Jersey. ottis birthday is later this month.While he rarely starts these days, Totti has scored five goals and set up three more in his last eight games played.After Tottis penalty, he took his shirt off and ran to celebrate under the Curva Sud where Romas hard-core ultra fans sit.I try to do my part and contribute, just like Ive been doing for 25 years around here, Totti said. For the first time, to be honest, I was a bit afraid of missing. But I couldnt miss under the Curva.If Im in this form, why quit? Totti said when asked if this will be his final season.Roma moved level with Napoli, two points behind Serie A leader Juventus.In another match affected by heavy rain, Genoa and Fiorentina were scoreless when their game was suspended after 28 minutes. The match will resume at a later date.Genoa was attempting to extend its perfect start.---MORE MILAN MISERYStipe Perica, an under-21 player for Croatia, scored two minutes from the end as Udinese beat AC Milan 1-0 at the San Siro.It was Milans second consecutive loss.New Milan signing Jose Sosa hit the crossbar in the first half and defender Ignazio Abate deflected in Pericas volley to give Udinese the win.Milan fullback Luca Antonelli was hospitalized with a reported neck injury after a collision with teammate Gabriel Paletta.---FIRST WIN FOR INTERMauro Icardi scored twice as Inter Milan came back from a goal down to beat promoted Pescara 2-1 and earn its first win.Icardi scored the equalizer with a difficult header -- after Jean-Christophe Bahebeck had put Pescara ahead -- and then got the late winner after a defensive blunder.---BOLOGNAS YOUTH MOVEMENTAC Milan castoff Simone Verdi and Federico Di Francesco -- the son of Sassuolo coach Eusebio Di Francesco -- scored in Bolognas 2-1 win over Cagliari. Verdi is 24 and the 22-year-old Di Francesco scored a brace for Italys under-21 squad in a 3-0 win over Andorra earlier this week.Also, Alessandro Gamberini and Stefan de Vrij traded goals in a 1-1 draw between Chievo Verona and Lazio.---Andrew Dampf on Twitter: www.twitter.com/asdampf ' ' '
