COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Fans who stayed up late Wednesday night to watch South Carolina volleyball face Tennessee (10-5, 1-2 SEC) were treated to an instant classic, as the Gamecocks (13-1, 1-1) rallied time and time again to earn a five-set win. The match almost stretched into Thursday morning, but after 42 ties and 12 total lead changes, the dust finally settled in Carolinas favor.1st Set: The tone for the night was set early, as the opening game featured 13 ties and five lead changes by itself. The set would be tied at 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 before Carolina got some breathing room at 21-19. After a block from Alicia Starr and Mikayla Shields put the home side up 23-20, Tennessee would take a timeout. The Volunteers rallied hard out of the break, scoring four straight points to serve for the set at 24-23. Carolina tied it up at 24 on a Shields kill, but the Vols scored the final two points for the 26-24 win and the early advantage.2nd Set: The Gamecocks were not ready to let the match slip away just yet, and came out firing on all cylinders in the second set. Five kills accounted for the teams first eight points of the game, and Tennessee called an early timeout after falling behind 8-2. The visitors would get no closer than three points for the rest of the way, and Megan Kirkland served the Gamecocks to a 8-2 run later in the game to balloon the lead out to 20-10. Carolina outhit Tennessee .360-.038 for the set and went into halftime tied 1-1 after the 25-12 win.3rd Set: The Volunteers put the Gamecocks in unfamiliar territory after coming back to take the third game, 25-23. Carolina had again led the set late, this time at 18-16, but Tennessee put down 18 kills total to overpower the Gamecocks down the stretch. This was the first time since Sept. 5 of last season that South Carolina had trailed 2-1 in a match it would eventually win, but it would take a clutch performance in the fourth set to even have a chance.4th Set: After holding the lead for the first half of the fourth, Tennessee ran off a 6-1 run to take a 16-14 lead and strung the advantage out to 18-15 before the Gamecocks would burn a timeout to regroup. South Carolina chipped away and reclaimed the 21-20 lead thanks to a 3-0 burst behind Joely Cabreras serve. Tennessee tied it back up at 21-all, but kills from Shields and Starr on three straight possessions broke the tie and Shields capped the game win with her 15th kill of the night to force a fifth set.5th Set: South Carolina needed one more comeback to earn its win, because Tennessee jumped out to an early two-point cushion and forced the Gamecocks into a timeout after taking a 9-6 lead. The home side needed a spark to overcome the deficit, and they got it from senior Dessaa Legros. The pin put her set from Aubrey Ezell straight down on the 10-foot line to cut UTs lead to 11-10, and got the crowd and her teammates on their feet. A big block right after from Koko Atoa-Williams and Jacqy Angermiller tied the set up, and Joely Cabrera capped the all-important 3-0 run with an ace to put the Gamecocks ahead 12-11. Atoa-Williams had two of her eight total kills on the night to make it 13-12 and 14-13, pushing the team to match point, and a hitting error capped the win.Quotable: Head Coach Scott SwansonOn the teams win I feel like we just beat a really, really good team... Lots of momentum shifts, and a lot of really good things by a lot of young players on both sides. It was a nerve-wracking match for the coaches, but it was a really fun match.On the big kill from Legros in the fifth set All the credit in the world goes to our passers. It was Joely, it was Megan, it was Koko, for a good stretch there they had three passes every single time and thats what got us in it. We were able to side out, we were able to set who we wanted to set, and we got around that big block getting splits because of the pass. Great setting, off of great passing -- hitting is easy.Up NextThe team will wrap up week two of the conference season with a Sunday afternoon match against Kentucky. Starting at 1:30, the Gamecocks will need to dig deep again to knock off a Wildcat squad that swept No. 5 Florida in straight sets in Gainesville Wednesday night. The match will air on the SEC Network+ online channel. Custom Chicago Blackhawks Jerseys .7 million, one-year contract, a raise of $2.2 million.

Blackhawks Jerseys 2021 .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable. Chicago Blackhawks Shirts . -- The Missouri Tigers might not have a roster full of superstars. For more than a decade and a half, my typical work week is hard to explain. Especially the part of keeping an eye on chiseled men taking center stage and stripping down to bikini briefs. A Chippendales consultant, Im not. Boxing weigh-ins are unlike anything else in sports. Calling fights week after week on national TV fosters an appreciation for them, the texture and passion of the sport is why its one of Hollywoods all-time favorite storytelling crutches to lean on. At least parts of it are.The overused late-round drama crescendo is an easy go-to for directors. But the day before the fight weigh-in? Its mostly ignored. Or its dismissed as a convenient scripted smack-talk moment.Then comes the 2016 biopic Bleed For This, the story about former five-time champion Vinny Paz. In what is as authentic a scene I have ever enjoyed in a fight film, native New Yorker Ben Younger perfectly captures the weigh-in for Pazs fight against Roger Mayweather 26 years earlier. He gets it. His film gets it.Forget the hackneyed approach to rating a boxing flick. You know the sports fan review where bona fides are based on how valid the in-the-ring action looks. Although it is quite good, it doesnt need to apply here.What Younger and his team were able to do in the opening 10 minutes of Bleed For This impressed me. It drew me in. It revealed enough of the world champion Paz to demand I needed to know it all. And for lead actor Miles Teller, it probably revealed more than he ever thought hed have to as well.Teller, who has a lot of natural born fighter traits to him, was on the scale in nothing but a small swath of animal print. As the real-life Vinny told him during production, Stuff a banana in your undies. From that outrageously entertaining opening round this film goes on to stuff a lot into its power punch.Ive known the real-life characters fairly wwell for many years now.dddddddddddd They are mined from the cross-section of society boxing exposes us to and welcomes in.Vinny Paz grew up in Providence, Rhode Island -- a hard working prideful town that is a character unto itself in the film. The Pazienza family was woven into Vinnys life tighter than the canvas tautly pulled over the local ring mat he called home.His manager, Lou Duva, was captured well by veteran actor Ted Levine. And as for the role of trainer Kevin Rooney, it was a superb job climbing a challenging mountain of portrayal by Aaron Eckhart.I first met the real-life Rooney when I was 15 years old. I was a fan ringside at a local club show and he was in the corner of soon-to-be heavyweight champion Mike Tyson. Years later, I was now the boxing expert, still talking the sweet science with Rooney as he was in the later stages of an often interrupted career. Alcohol abuse and this game can take a toll. You play baseball and basketball. You dont play boxing. Eckhart gave us an excellent glimpse of the real Rooney.Bleed For This does what many fight films fail to do. It defines the champion from the inside out. It takes us into his psyche.It doesnt play on underdog themes overcoming impossible odds. It doesnt care if the champ is winning to right some wrong or avenge some injustice. It doesnt try to wow you with a dramatic get-up-off-the-canvas climbs.Yes, its a comeback story. However, its really a story of understanding what it means to be a fighter. To be wired differently from the rest.Heavyweight king of yesteryear Jack Dempsey was wont to say, A champion is someone who gets up even when they cant.That is what Bleed For This captures. And its exactly why it will capture your attention. ' ' '
