COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- The Texas A&M defense turned the lights out on Georgia as the No. 8 Aggies notched a 1-0 shutout against the Bulldogs Friday evening at Ellis Field.The clean sheet marked the fifth consecutive shutout for the Texas A&M defense. The Aggies fortification included a combination of Grace Wright, Kendall Ritchie, McKayla Paulson, Margaret Schmidt, Grace Piper and Ashlynn Harryman. Goalkeeper Danielle Rice made one save and got a pair of team saves early in the first half to register her fifth consecutive shutout and the eighth of her career.Texas A&M (6-2-0, 2-0-0 SEC) scored the lone goal of the match in the 26th minute. With Cienna Arrieta sending in a corner kick from the right arc, Bulldogs goalkeeper Louise Hogrell tried to corral the offering, but it slipped out of her mitts. A scrum between Piper and two Bulldogs sent the ball out towards the penalty spot. Emily Bates beat a pair of Georgia defenders to the ball to get a shot off, but it bounced off a wave of players. A fortuitous carom found an unmarked Sarah Shaw who ripped a left-footed first touch from 18 yards, inside the left post. It marked the first career goal for Shaw, who notched the final shootout goal against Ole Miss that sent Texas A&M to the Elite Eight last season.Georgia (3-5-1, 0-2-0 SEC) nearly broke the scoring seal in the 11th minute. After the initial attack on a corner kick was snuffed out, Lauren Tanner took a pair of shots in the six-yard box near the right post, but they were both turned back by Ritchie on the goal line.Bates nearly lit up the scoreboard at the midway point of the first half. She scampered through the Georgia midfield and found open space at the right of the penalty arc. Bates fired a left-footed missile that forced Hogrell to hit the deck for a punch wide of the left post.Moments later, Harryman nearly drew first blood. From 30 yards out, the Aggie defender boomed a shot towards frame. Hogrell leaped at the last moment to thump the ball over the crossbar.Hogrell, who had six saves in the match, was forced to snuff out a pair of dangerous free kicks by Arrieta from within 25 yards.The 1-0 advantage at the intermission belied the amount of pressure the Maroon and White offense was applying in the first half. The Aggies owned the edges in shots (12-4) and shots-on-goal (6-3).The Maroon and White took nine shots in the second half, but the best opportunity to tack on an insurance goal came in the 89th minute when Mikaela Harvey scorched a shot from distance that Hogrell corralled in the waning moments.For the match, Texas A&M owned the edges in shots (21-8) and shots-on-goal (7-3), but Georgia held the advantage in corner kicks (8-5). With the exception of the aforementioned two-shot barrage in the 11th minute, the Bulldogs were unable to get a shot-on-goal off a corner kick opportunity.Texas A&M wraps up their nine-game homestand Sunday when the Aggies host UC Riverside in a 6 pm contest at Ellis Field.Texas A&M Quotes Head Coach G Guerrieri On five consecutive shutouts... Its something weve been able to hang our hat on. We know that we can defend well. We have defended well, even tonight, with a lot of different looks. We changed our formation midway through the first half. We came back and changed personnel after halftime. Every player stepped up and did her job. Danielle Rice continues to be absolutely rock solid back there. The confidence they have with Dani behind them right now is really helping us out.On Texas A&Ms offensive showing... I thought in the first half we pressed well. We had a lot of chances that we could have, and should have, finished off and this game would have ended a long time ago. We give Georgia a lot of credit. Their goalkeeper made a couple of good saves. Their backline held strong against a lot of pressure that we were putting on them. The win is the most important thing right now.Senior midfielder Sarah Shaw On her goal... The corner kick popped out, and jiggled around a little bit. I saw Miki (Harvey) go for it, but she stepped back and looked at me. I just shot it with the left foot. When we scouted Georgia we knew that their keeper stayed on her line most of the time, so I had to hit it low and put it in the corners.On another shutout.... Its everything. It provides us so much confidence going further into SEC play. Georgia is a really tough team. To shut them out and keep things going was exactly what we were looking for tonight.Junior Defender McKayla Paulson On the shutout streak... Im so proud of our backline and Danielle (Rice). We are clicking really well right now. We have a good system going. It starts with our communication. If I miss someone, theres always a teammate to tell me where she is. Even if someone steps up and gets beat you have the backline behind you. If anything does get through, we always have Dani back there to clean it up. Cheap Wholesale Nike Tanjun .

Hampshire 167 for 6 (Dawson 76, Weatherley 43, Wagg 3-38) beat Glamorgan 142 for 7 (Wallace 45, Dawson 4-23) by 25 runsScorecard Liam Dawson cracked an unbeaten 76 before starring with the ball to hand Hampshire a rare Natwest T20 Blast win as they beat high flying Glamorgan by 25 runs.Dawson hit the first Twenty20 fifty of his career before spinning out Glamorgan with 4 for 23, flanked by fellow twirlers Shahid Afridi and Brad Taylor.The win, just their second in 11 attempts in this seasons competition, brightened a difficult day for Hampshire following the news Michael Carberry has been diagnosed with cancer - after a specialist discovered a tumour during tests this week.We are a little bit numbed by it, which you could see from the crowd which was quite flat, Giles White, the Hampshire director of cricket, said. The players did a good job today to go out there under the circumstances. An hour or so before the start Carbs wanted to tell the players. It was quite an emotional time for everyone.Carbs has been at the club for 10 years or so and is a popular member with all those guys and the response of the players was fantastic. They stuck to their job brilliantly. We have struggled with injuries and other stuff this year and I think the way the players went out there and performed was fantastic.After being stuck in by Jacques Rudolph, a new look opening pair of Tom Alsop and Adam Wheater stuttered with a flurry of wickets. Graham Waggs second over swung the early momentum towards the inform hosts - Alsop nicked to slip while advancing down the pitch before Sean Ervines leading edge looped to cover two balls later.Wheater was the next to offer a simple catch, Wagg failing to stay out of the game in the covers, Michael Hogan grabbing his first scalp.It required an international intervention to stop the slide and Dawson and Afridi provided it with a steadying 46 runs partnership. Afridi fell to a stunning Waggg pounce and the England star was close to following him when he was shelled on 29 by Shaun Tait.ddddddddddddBut Dawson made up for his good fortune with Hampshires highest individual score of the season - his half century bought in with 42 balls, including just three boundaries.Dawson, along with academy star Joe Weatherley, added another 78 for the fifth wicket to continue the recovery.Weatherley, hitting a personal Blast high of 43, with two six, particularly impressed but played one shot too many to the deep - wicketkeeper Lewis McManus soon following him.But 17 from the final over, Dawson crunching 14 of them to take himself to 76 not out, handed Hampshire a defendable total of 167. The chase had the feel of a glide to victory, with timed cuts and drives from David Lloyd and Mark Wallace the order of the evening.The pair appeared to be in little trouble but that changed when left-armer Dawson stamped his mark on the game for as second time, striking with his first ball to bowl Lloyd for 18.Dawson continued his one-man show against Glamorgan when he had the tournaments master six hitter Colin Ingram caught behind four deliveries later.Glamorgan collapsed, Aneurin Donald bowled for a duck to give legspinner Afridi his moment and he ended up with impressive figures of 1 for 16 before Taylor caught and bowled Rudolph.The visitors, who would have gone top with a victory, had won six of their last seven games on the road - but their record was dented when Wallace picked out cover Ervine - continuing the trend of wickets to slow bowling.Dawson had his second when Craig Meschede picked out a sprawling Weatherley at long-on, and a third as Wagg sliced to Gareth Andrew.From that point the win was secure, with 35 needed from the final over, to lift spirits a little at the Ageas Bowl.
