A massively frustrated Fernando Alonso believes McLaren would have secured the first Q3 appearance of their Honda reunion had Q2 run its normal course. Alonso was heard expressing his annoyance over the radio when he was informed he would not have time for his second flying lap, after a red flag had been thrown for Nico Hulkenbergs flying wheel.Argh, argh, argh, the Spaniard groaned as he made his way back to the pits in 12th place, having missed the chance to set a time on new supersoft tyres. Massively frustrated today, Alonso later told Sky Sports F1. I think the car has the potential to be in Q3. Both McLarens were competitive.We didnt use the new tyres, we didnt use the full engine power, just waiting for that lap to be in Q3 and we didnt even open the lap, so that was frustrating. Nico Hulkenbergs Chinese qualifying comes to an abrupt end after the front left tyre of his Force India comes off and hits the safety barriers. But despite the frustration, Alonso admitted there were positives from the day too given that even Q2 appearances were a rarity for McLaren during their troubled first year back with Honda in 2015.We were aiming to pass Q1 a few races ago, and now we are frustrated to not be in Q3, so definitely the car is growing and we are moving in the right direction, he added.Chinese GP Qualifying reportAlso, we have free choice of tyres for the race, so lets take advantage of that and hopefully we finish the weekend on a high.Although denied the chance to improve their grid positions themselves by the Force India-triggered red flag, Alonso and Jenson Button do move up one position apiece on Sundays grid after stewards gave Hulkenberg a three-place penalty.Stoffel Vandoorne is the only McLaren driver to score points so far this year after the teams reserve stood in for Alonso in Bahrain, although the Spaniard and Jenson Button have both suffered a race retirement apiece so far. Alonso, who has said he will manage the pain that remains following the rib injury he sustained in his massive Melbourne accident, is optimistic he will be able to open his account on Sunday.Points are the target - how high is impossible to know, he said. Yesterday we were not completely happy with the race pace, we were not super fast. We made a lot of changes in the car so lets see if we are more competitive and we can score more points than we think.Watch the Chinese GP on Sunday - LIVE ONLY on Sky Sports F1.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. - Delaney Sheehan opened the scoring in the sixth minute of play with her second goal of the season and Caroline Brockmeier saved all four shots on target she faced as the LSU Tigers picked up their third win on the spin with a 1-0 blanking of Western Kentucky on Thursday night at the WKU Soccer Complex.The Tigers (4-3) also pushed their winning streak to two-straight in the series after also topping the Lady Toppers (3-3) by a 4-1 margin at the LSU Soccer Stadium in Baton Rouge on Aug. 28 of last season.Sheehan gave the Tigers an early 1-0 lead in the sixth minute of play when she headed Marlena Cuturas corner kick from the right corner flag into the back of the net for her second goal of the campaign. LSUs opener came from a nice switch of play by freshman Jade Clarke over the WKU defense to junior forward Jorian Baucom in the right side of the area for a shot that was deflected out by a recovering defender.It was definitely our goal to come out and get a goal early in the game, but I dont think we accomplished necessarily our goal the rest of the game to stay on them and get a second or third goal, Sheehan said. It was definitely a struggle, but everyone, even though it wasnt our best performance at all, we worked to not let them get in the back of the net the rest of the game.It was a challenge because they were on us the whole time, but we were able to keep them out of the net and come out with a win. Thats always the most important thing, especially away from home.Cutura served up her second assist of the season from the corner flag on Sheehans game-winner after registering the first of her collegiate career in LSUs 1-0 win at College of Charleston on Aug. 21 as junior Jordane Carvery was the recipient in the teams first win of the campaign.Marlena is really special in that she takes both left-footed and right-footed in-swinging corner kicks, Sheehan added. She puts them inside the six (yard box) nine times out of 10. So, we know that every time we go in for a corner kkick, its a challenge that we can win.dddddddddddd I saw it coming far post, and I saw Jordy (Carvery) and a girl in front of me go up and challenge. I didnt have a player on me, so I just yelled as loud as I could at Jordy, Ive got it! I was uncontested, so it was nice that we could get the early goal at least.Junior Debbie Hahn was the next Tiger to go close as the clock rolled under 10 minutes to play in the first half as she flashed a free kick from the edge of the WKU box just over the crossbar to remain at 1-0.Western Kentucky turned up the pressure in the second half while searching for the equalizer, but Brockmeier and LSUs back four of Carvery, Clarke and Hahn along with senior Megan Lee were up to the task as the Tigers resolve would not be broken over the final 45 minutes.Brockmeier was positioned to deny Haley Balridge with a driven effort from the top of the box after the Tigers defended the initial corner kick by the Lady Toppers in the 51st minute of play. The home side threatened again from a corner kick on the hour mark as Christina Bragados goal-bound header from eight yards out was tipped over the bar by Brockmeier to preserve the lead.Honestly, Jordy and Megan are so solid back there. I dont know what Id do without them in front of me, Brockmeier said. I always hear Jordy on the field, I always hear Megan. If I need help, theyre not shy to talk to me. They always get people in positions where they need to be, and thats what you need in a game like that when youre having to defend like that down the stretch.The Tigers are set to wrap up their four-game road swing on Sunday night with a trip to College Station, Texas, where they will face the 11th-ranked Texas A&M Aggies in their SEC opener at 6 p.m. CT at Ellis Field.
