What went down in the 11th week of college soccer? The aim each week is to bring you five stories that defined the week in college soccer or help navigate the long road to San Jose and the Womens College Cup. For most of the country, that meant transitioning this week from the regular season to conference tournaments.Seventeen seconds and the best performance of the weekIf you dont know Kelsey Johnson you are really, truly missing out.So began Central Arkansas teammate Jessica Pantusos attempt to explain why the story of the week didnt involve the ACC, Pac-12 or any of the other conferences most likely to fill the field in the College Cup. It only indirectly involved Central Arkansas taking another step toward giving itself the chance to play on those same NCAA tournament fields, the Sugar Bears wrapping up the Southland Conference regular-season title in unbeaten fashion against Northwestern State this past Friday.Johnson started the game for Central Arkansas but came off after just 17 seconds, long before Alex Moores goal put the team ahead or Ashley Smith doubled the lead. But those 17 seconds came after nine months of waiting. Nine months of hoping she would get that chance to play, even as she confronted a reality that made a game inconsequential by comparison. Diagnosed with a benign brain tumor this past winter after suffering lingering headaches following a minor car accident, Johnson had surgery to remove it in May.She hoped all along that she would return to the field for her senior season but was unable to gain medical clearance while undergoing post-surgery radiation treatment, even as she continued with her classes and as a part of the soccer team from the sideline. Until Fridays home finale, that is. Still not fully cleared, she played anyway.I get doubts in my mind and obviously everyones going to think of the worst-case scenario every once in a while, Johnson told Littles Rocks KATV in April. But I have a great feeling Im going to get out there again.No one in the month ahead will get more joy out of being on a field than Johnson did.West Virginia closes out regular season in styleDont even bother trick or treating at Dick Dlesk Stadium in Morgantown. If the current residents havent given away a goal in months, what are your odds of getting free candy off them? Not satisfied with just dominating the Big 12, No. 1 West Virginia completed a shutout of the league with a 3-0 win over Oklahoma State this past Friday. Eight conference games, 12 hours of soccer and not a single goal scored against the Mountaineers by a Big 12 opponent.Like any successful defense, some of that is about not having to defend -- the Mountaineers outshot the Cowgirls 26-4. But a lot of it is also just that Kadeisha Buchanan and the rest of the defensive core are just better than everybody else.The Mountaineers face Texas Tech in a Big 12 tournament quarterfinal Wednesday in Kansas City, with the potential for a semifinal against No 24 Oklahoma after that.Florida States not-so-secret weapon returnsEliminating No. 6 Duke in an ACC quarterfinal penalty shootout, a week after beating the Blue Devils at home, enhances Florida States resume. To a small degree that is because of the result itself, officially a draw, but mostly because it presents a needed opportunity to earn more resume points against No. 14 Clemson in Fridays ACC semifinal in Charleston, South Carolina.Now 4-1-2 this season against teams ranked in the most recent RPI top 50, there still appears to be a path for the Seminoles, No. 16 in that RPI release, to swoop in and claim a valuable top-eight seed in the NCAA tournament if they run the table in Charleston. (As there is for No. 16 North Carolina, which had its best week of the season by beating Florida State to close the regular season on Thursday and routing No. 7 Virginia 3-0 in a weekend ACC quarterfinal).No matter where they play their games, the Seminoles will be better for freshman Deyna Castellanos being there rather than in Jordan. Thats where she spent most of October, leading Venezuela to the semifinals of the FIFA Under-17 Womens World Cup (a longer stay than the American entry enjoyed). Castellanos scored five times in the World Cup, tied for the second-most in the event. Factor in her production at Florida State and it adds up to 11 goals in 15 games this fall. The most recent of those was a screamer from 20 yards that tied Sundays game, her first appearance since returning. She was a threat the entire game.USC survives a slip in race for No. 1 seedGeography alone makes a Pac-12 weekend swing through Utah and Colorado a challenge. It is compounded this season by the fact that the Utes and Buffaloes are good teams headed to the NCAA tournament. So No. 4 USC coming out of Thursdays game at (not for much longer) unranked Utah with a 1-1 draw after a potential winner was waved off for offside promised to be only as big a deal as its response warranted.It turns out it wasnt a very big deal.USC kept a firm grip on a 3-0 win at Colorado on Sunday, the first time all season the Buffaloes allowed more than one goal in regulation at home. Alex Anthony scored two opportunistic goals, Savannah Levin scored on a well-executed corner kick and one of the best defenses this side of West Virginia looked the part.That matters because Stanford, South Carolina and West Virginia (in the order ranked in the most recent RPI) have the top three seeds in the NCAA tournament almost locked down. It is the fourth of the top seeds, which come with the chance to host through the quarterfinals, that looks like it is up for grabs.One candidate, BYU, cant do much to help its cause in the final week of the regular season. That leaves USC with one huge opportunity Friday against UCLA, which suffered far more on the road in losses at both Utah and Colorado.Missouri and Florida poised for an SEC sequelTurn on the SEC Network this week (shameless plug), and there is a good chance you will see soccer, all nine games from the SEC tournament on either that network or ESPNU. While the team to see remains No. 2 South Carolina, which closed an unbeaten regular season and swept the conference awards for coach, offensive player and defensive player of the year, the game with the most long-term consequence may be a quarterfinal between Florida and Missouri. Mostly thats because the Tigers couldnt solve the Gators in a 1-0 loss this past week.Had that result gone the other way, Floridas hopes for a top-eight seed in the NCAA tournament would have taken a hit and Missouri would have solidified its case for an at-large bid to the big tournament. Instead, we get to do it all over again with the same stakes. It will feature SEC freshman of the year Sarah Luebbert putting her 10 goals for Missouri up against Savannah Jordans 13 goals. Raheem Mostert Super Bowl Jersey .Y. -- Canadas Kaillie Humphries and Heather Moyse have another World Cup gold medal after winning the two-women bobsled race on Saturday in Lake Placid, N. Steve Young Super Bowl Jersey . Robredo, ranked No. 16, bounced back from an upset loss to Leonardo Mayer in the second round of the Royal Guard Open in Chile last week to down Carreno Busta in 1 hour, 25 minutes. On a day filled mostly with qualifying matches, fifth-seeded Marcel Granollers of Spain also entered the second with a 7-5, 3-6, 6-2 win over Aljaz Bedene of Slovenia, while Guido Pella of Argentina defeated Guillermo Garcia-Lopez of Spain 7-6 (6), 6-4 to advance. http://www.authenticsf49erspro.com/Colin-kaepernick-49ers-jersey/ . Burris threw two TD passes, including a key 15-yard fourth-quarter strike to Bakari Grant that effectively countered a Toronto comeback bid and led Hamilton to a 33-19 victory. Nick Mullens Super Bowl Jersey . As the crowd erupted, Davis knocked the ball off the glass and back into his hands. With 1:14 to go in overtime, Davis sixth block also became his 17th rebound. That, along with his 32 points -- which tied a career high -- proved too much for Denver to overcome, and the Pelicans held on for their third straight victory, 111-107 on Sunday night. Terrell Owens Super Bowl Jersey . -- Timbers coach Caleb Porter didnt stray from his business-like approach to the season even after Portland downed the two-time defending league champion Los Angeles Galaxy to gain crucial playoff position. GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Rookie Dak Prescott is stating an impressive case to remain the starting quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys.Hes off to quite the start in his NFL career after taking over following veteran Tony Romos preseason back injury.Prescott threw for 247 yards and three touchdowns, and the Cowboys forced four turnovers in a 30-16 win over the Green Bay Packers and their dysfunctional offense Sunday.Prescott was 18 of 27 and shook off two fumbles and an interception to lead the Cowboys (5-1) to their fifth straight win.You just couldnt ask for more inspiration from a player because everybody on this team knows what a difficult position that is to play, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said.Prescott showed poise in the fourth quarter while marching the Cowboys on a seven-play, 75-yard drive that ended with a 4-yard touchdown pass to Cole Beasley for an 18-point lead with 10:26 left.Romo seems to be getting closer to returning. After a bye, Dallas next plays on Oct. 30 against Philadelphia.Asked if Prescott would remain the starter against the Eagles even if Romo was ready, Jones only said, I wouldnt say unequivocally anything other than we just beat the Green Bay Packers in Green Bay.Prescott picked on a Packers secondary that played much of the game without their top three cornerbacks because of injuries.His fourth-quarter touchdown pass left Packers fans at Lambeau stunned. They were booing at times following another choppy game for Green Bays offense. The four turnovers were a season high for Green Bay (3-2).Frankly, the biggest thing on offense ... is turning the ball over, coach Mike McCarthy said. Its not part of our fiber.The Packers had five fumbles on the day, losing three.BOO BIRDSEven two- NFL MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers wasnt immune from the jeering. Rodgers finished 31 of 42 for a season-high 294 yards.Look, were upset, theyre upset, its part of it, Rodgers said of the booing. Its not the first time. Probably wont be the last time.The Packers didnt get into the end zone until Rodgers and Cobb connected on a 6-yard touchdown pass with 6:53 left to get within 27-16.Rodgers accounted for two turnovers with an interception to go with a fumble on first-and-goal at the Cowboys 1 with 1:10 left in the third quarter. It was a designed draw play out of an empty backfield.RECORD STREAK OVERPrescott threw the first interception of his career afteer he was picked off on third-and-8 from the Dallas 6, throwing out of his end zone with 20 seconds left in third quarter.dddddddddddd Safety Morgan Burnett had the diving interception.Prescotts NFL record streak for a quarterback at the start of his career without an interception ended at 176 pass attempts. He broke the mark of 162 previously held by New Englands Tom Brady earlier in the game.We get that out of the way now, Prescott said with a laugh. Another one to start up.OUT OF SYNCDrops were a problem again at times for Packers receivers. Timing may have been off on a couple other throws.Rodgers and McCarthy said the Packers would figure out the problems after watching the film.Were hard on ourselves, and Im as hard as anybody on myself. So Im going to get it fixed. Just been a little bit off, Rodgers said.It was Green Bays worst defeat at home with Rodgers as the starting quarterback since a 37-20 loss to the Giants in the 2011 NFC divisional playoffs.STRENGTH VS. STRENGTHDallas dented Green Bays league-best run defense.The Cowboys rushed for 93 yards in the first half against the Packers, which was already a season high against Green Bay. The Packers had been allowing 42.8 yards per game entering Sunday.Dallas was averaging a league-best 155.2 yards per game.Rookie Ezekiel Elliott finished with 157 yards on 28 carries, giving him 703 yards rushing -- the second-most in a players first six career games, behind only Eric Dickerson (787). Elliott also became the only rookie to rush for at least 130 yards in four consecutive games.INJURY REPORTCowboys: CB Morris Claiborne left with a concussion after getting hurt in the second quarter.Packers: The Packers thin secondary, which was already without CBs Sam Shields (concussion) and Quinten Rollins (groin), lost cornerback Damarious Randall in the second quarter after he re-aggravated a groin injury. ...

RT Bryan Bulaga left late with a back injury.UP NEXTCowboys: Host the Philadelphia Eagles on Oct. 30 after a bye next week.Packers: Host the Chicago Bears on Thursday night.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Genaro Armas at: https://twitter.com/GArmasAP ' ' '
