How does any one player win a week? This past Sunday alone, there were more than a hundred games involving Division I womens soccer teams. A full week offers at least twice that many. Game-winning goals, sprawling saves and last-ditch defending blur into one.Sometimes, instead of focusing on the moment, it is best to imagine what will linger.And decades from now, no one is more likely to fondly remember these past few days than Navy sophomore Anabell Motley, the espnW national soccer player of the week.Such is the power of a rivalry that matters every year and in every sport.Look, there were plenty of impressive individual performances this past week. No one piled up more tangible evidence than LSUs Jorian Baucom, who scored twice in an important SEC win over Mississippi and followed that up with her first career hat trick against Lamar. Or there was Arkansas defender Jessi Hartzler, who not only helped protect her goal but scored twice in her teams 2-1 upset of Florida and kept right on scoring against Lipscomb later in the week.Each was outstanding in the present tense. So were others. But years from now, all of them will have to explain the circumstances to allow people to understand the accomplishment.All Motley will have to do is say she beat Army.Motley entered the week with career totals of one goal and two assists. She added two goals and an assist to those totals in the span of just 67 minutes on the field this past week.Beginning with the goal that matters most in Annapolis in a 1-0 win over Army.Army beat Navy the first five times the teams played womens soccer. Navy won the next six games. The series has since settled into the kind of back-and-forth tussle the lore of the rivalry demands. Of 28 total meetings, 18 were either decided by a goal or finished level. Each teams seniors entered Fridays game, fittingly, 1-1-1 in the series. It is that kind of rivalry.So it wasnt just a nice bit of skill when Motley let a well-placed pass from Clare MacAdam roll in front of her as she ran down the right side after eight minutes Friday and used her first touch to drive a shot over the goalkeeper and into the back of the net. It was a perfectly executed bit of skill under pressure and in front of 2,347 fans -- almost five times a typical crowd.The second goal of her college career held up as the winner.Nor did Motley rest on her glory. Army vanquished, Navy still had to play a road game at Mount St. Marys two days later. While not a conference game, a loss on the road would have left Navy four games on the wrong side of .500 for the season. If that seems a minor detail, consider that Navy hasnt finished a season with anything other than a winning record since 1994.Even as Navy piled up shots Sunday, the game was scoreless as halftime approached. Then Motley again took a pass from MacAdam and beat the goalkeeper at close range in the 39th minute. She was there again when Navy found some breathing room in the 79th minute, assisting on Natalie Dzhandzhapanyans goal that provided the final margin at 2-0.Tim Hudson Athletics Jersey .Y. - New York City has been selected to host the NBA All-Star weekend in 2015, with the game played at Madison Square Garden and the slam dunk contest and other skills events held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

Hey!" The lower tier of the School End of Queens Park Rangers Loftus Road was packed solid with a very festive-sounding Chelsea choral section in this particular part of South Africa Road London, W12.METAIRIE, La. -- As long as Jrue Holiday is on the court in the critical final minutes, hes not terribly concerned with whether he starts, or how much playing time he gets, in his first games back with the New Orleans Pelicans.I dont think our record shows how good we are, said Holiday, who was back at practice Thursday with a team that has started 2-10 without him. Obviously, there are some games where we were there at the end of the game and we had it won, but (there are) some things that we have to clean up at the end of the game to seal the deal.Down the stretch, I do think I could help with some directing and just tightening it up, Holiday added.The guard has spent the past three months on leave because his wife, retired international soccer star Lauren Holiday, needed brain surgery to remove a benign tumor last month, just weeks after giving birth to their first child, a daughter.Holiday, who is slated to make his season debut against the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday night, said he came back now because my wife said I could.Lauren Holiday is doing well enough now to take care of herself and my daughter, Jrue Holiday said. She can take care of me, too. Obviously thats big, especially from somebody whos a mother now and somebody that went through what she went through.Jrue Holiday said learning that his wife had a brain tumor when she was about five months pregnant with their first child was nerve-wracking, and affected his perspective on life considerably, making him grateful for each day.He said he also feels blessed for how his family has come through it, and for how much support both he and his wife received from basketball and soccer fans worldwide.Every day people are always saying theyre praying for her, Holiday said. So many people since Ive been back, they dont even ask how Im doing; they ask how my wifes doing. And to me, thats awesome. That just shows how great people are around us.Now, he can get back to the thrill of playing basketball,, at a time when the Pelicans could really use some help.dddddddddddd.Obviously he was an integral part of what we try to do offensively and defensively, Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry said. For him, its just really good to be back. This is one of those times where it wasnt a physical injury, so hes been dying to get out there to play. Its going to be fine. Obviously its going to take a little while for him to get his timing back from a basketball standpoint. I think hes in really good shape conditioning-wise.A former Eastern Conference All-Star with Philadelphia, Holiday was traded to New Orleans in 2013, but missed most of his first two seasons because of a lower leg injury. Holiday began last season on minute restrictions, got progressively healthier, and wound up playing in 65 games with 23 starts before missing the last nine games because of a broken eye wall from an inadvertent elbow to the head.Holiday averaged 16.8 points, 6.0 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 28.2 minutes per game last season, scoring 20 or more points 25 times.Tim Frazier has started New Orleans first 12 games this season at point guard, averaging 10.8 points and 7.5 assists. Gentry said he can envision Holiday and Frazier playing together in stints.Jrue can play off the ball or on the ball, Gentry said. Thats what makes him so good. I think hes a versatile player. We need his shooting also.Pelicans forward Anthony Davis said that while he didnt get to work with Holiday much at Thursdays practice, he assumed the teams top guard will be effective right away.When youre that good, it kind of stays with you, Davis said.Game notesDavis, who sat out Wednesday nights loss at Orlando with a bruised right quadriceps, practiced on a limited basis Thursday and sounded optimistic about playing Friday. It felt better, so hopefully it stays this way, Davis said. ' ' '
