FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Top-seeded Loyola of Maryland beat Maryland 9-3 Monday to win the NCAA mens lacrosse title behind Eric Lusbys four goals. Lusby set a record with 17 goals in the tournament. The Greyhounds captured their first national lacrosse championship and finished the season at 18-1. Maryland (12-6) lost the title game for the second straight year. Chris Layne added three assists for the Greyhounds, whose only loss this season was to Johns Hopkins in overtime on April 28. When the game ended, Loyolas players rushed toward goalie Jack Runkel, leaving a trail of sticks, helmets and gloves for a celebratory pileup. The players then ran across the field and a few leaped into the stands where their fans were seated before lining up and shaking hands with the Maryland players. The two Maryland schools are separated by about 30 miles, but it was only their 21st meeting and first since the Terrapins 19-8 victory in the 1998 national semifinals. The Greyhounds scored seven straight goals after falling behind 3-2 and shut out the Terrapins for the final 40 minutes, 40 seconds. Lusby, who scored five times in the 7-5 win over Notre Dame in the semifinals, broke the tournament record of 16 goals shared by Matt Ward of Virginia (2006) and Zack Greer (2007) of Duke. The Greyhounds scored three straight times in the second quarter for a 5-3 lead at halftime. Loyolas Justin Ward scored the only goal of the third quarter. Then the Greyhounds pulled away with three more in the fourth. Lusby added his second goal 3:48 into the fourth quarter. He tied the tournament record with another goal with 5:07 left and broke it with the final goal of the game, scoring with 3:45 left. Maryland opened the scoring on defenceman Jesse Bernhardts goal with 9:36 left in the first quarter. The Terps went up 3-2 early in the second when Kevin Cooper scored from in front, but the Greyhounds scored the next seven. nba holdjersey .

Less than four months after calling it quits, the former Winnipeg Blue Bombers centre returned to the CFL, signing with the Calgary Stampeders on Tuesday.A career-threatening encounter with adversity always has a way of putting sport in perspective. And that was the case for Canadian tennis player Aleksandra Wozniak at the London 2012 Olympic Games on Tuesday, who was defeated handedly by American Venus Williams 6-1, 6-3 in the second round. Wozniak, who was participating in her first Olympic Games, had her tennis career threatened by a recurring bout of forearm tendonitis she suffered in 2010 and 2011. "I was really happy to be a part of this and represent my country at the Olympics. After all the journey Ive been through I could have easily quit tennis after my serious injury and all the obstacles that have come my way," she said after her match on Tuesday. "I had to find myself the will to keep persevering and come back strong. Its been an unbelievable journey for me and amazing that Im back here with the best to have these opportunities in my life." Williams dominated in every facet of the game, overpowering Wozniak with the serve and keeping her off balance all match, which took 63 minutes to complete. Wozniak has faced Williams on one other occasion, losing in three sets at the Sony Ericsson Open in March. London 2012 is also a comeback tournament for Williams, who has dealt with her own adversity over the last several years. Williams, a seven-time Grand Slam champion, has had her career derailed by various injuries and was diagnosed with Sjogrens syndrome, an auto-immune dissease that causes fatigue and inflammation of the joints, in 2011.dddddddddddd But it finally looks like Williams is close to rediscovering her once dominant form. "Venus (Williams) played amazingly well. She was really in her zone today," Wozniak said of her opponent. "She played so hard and heavy; it was really tough to play my game. We had some really fast, powerful exchanges, but she was on top of her game. Grass really suits her. She played amazingly. "My arm was on fire returning her serves, they were so huge. We had such a tough match last time and a battle that she came from the very first point in her bubble." Wozniak won her Olympic debut against New Zealands Marina Erakovic on Monday 6-2, 6-1, but the experience of Williams, a three-time Olympic medallist, bled through – a trend the Laval, Que., native expects to continue at London 2012. "It feels like its really her tournament, shes unbeatable here," she said. "The way she played (Tuesday) I dont think she could have played better. You could really sense that the Centre Court is hers, even though theres the other top players, she handles it so well. It was incredible to see." Wozniak will spend the rest of her time in London as a spectator, having been eliminated from the doubles tournament in the first round on Day 1.Williams, who is unseeded at London 2012, will face third seed Angelique Kerber of Germany in the third round.
