The Western Bulldogs plan to put Greater Western Sydney under intense physical pressure, but are adamant they arent feeling any pressure of their own after their poor run in previous AFL preliminary finals.The Bulldogs arrived in Sydney on Friday and are determined to maintain the momentum that carried them to victories over West Coast and Hawthorn in the past two weeks.The damning statistic of losing their past seven preliminary finals doesnt appear to be weighing heavily on the latest generation of Bulldogs as they prepare for Saturdays clash at Spotless Stadium.We havent really talked about it, Bulldogs assistant coach Daniel Giansiracusa said at Sydney Airport.Its a young group. Its a different group.I read some comments from Libba (Tom Liberatore), and if theres anyone that knows about the (Bulldogs) history, its Libba.He was more worried about his nonna and the Thursday night dinner, so I think well take it like Libba does and look forward to the challenge tomorrow night.They are a pretty relaxed group.Giansiracusa was convinced 20-year-old Marcus Bontempelli could handle the expectations swirling around the young Bulldogs star.I think its the youth of today ... They just go out and play, Giansiracusa said.Hes someone thats targeted, but he just takes it on the chin and does the best he can for the side.Its not just about winning the ball for him. Hes a fantastic leader for us and Im glad hes in our side.Giansiracusa made no secret the Bulldogs strategy would revolve around denying the Giants the possession and space they needed to play their fast-flowing brand of footballOnce they get up and going they can move the footy as quickly as anyone, so were going to have to stop that, he said.Were going to have to put them under immense pressure, which weve been able to do to the opposition the last couple of weeks.He was hopeful defender Matthew Suckling, wholl miss Saturdays game due to an achilles problem, would be fit to play if the Bulldogs made the grand final.I would have thought (hes a chance). Its a week-to-week thing but he was pretty close (to playing this week), Giansiracusa said.He was a little bit sore and he didnt get through training.Brooklyn Nets Pro Shop . -- The St. Johns IceCaps weathered a wild first period with the help of goaltender Jussi Olkinuora, before finding offensive inroads in the second.

This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way.

Lady Volunteers coach Holly Warlick said Cooper injured her left knee while playing basketball at home.That leaves Tennessee with only nine healthy scholarship players. Cooper made 15 starts as a freshman last season and averaged 8.6 points and 2.1 assists. She ranked fourth on the team in scoring.Its the card weve been dealt and weve got to go with it, Warlick said. The kids that we have, theyre solid. If we didnt have the summer weve had, Id be worried. But we have put in the time, theyve put in the effort and it shows. It really, really shows. I feel really confident in what our kids can do.Warlick said sophomore guard/forward Meme Jackson has undergone arthroscopic surgery on her left knee and is expected to be ready for the start of preseason practice.Tennessee also announced Wednesday the hiring of Heather Ervin as director of recruiting operations and player personnel. Sharrona Reaves was hired as the Lady Vols assistant coach and recruiting coordinator in April, replacing former Tennessee player Kyra Elzy, who spent four seasons as an assistant and associate head coach. Elzy was rehired by Kentucky this spring.The Lady Vols went 22-14 last season and set a school record for losses. They recovered down the stretch to reach a regional final for the fifth time in the last six years.Recruiting troubles in the past year prevented the Lady Vols from upgrading their roster much since the end of the 2015-116 season.dddddddddddd Their additions were freshman shot-blocking specialist Kamera Harris, Winthrop graduate transfer Schaquilla Nunn and ASA College transfer Cheridene Green, who wont play in the 2016-17 season as she recovers from knee surgery.Carter made 82 career starts at Tennessee and posted career averages of 6.4 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists. Last season, the 5-foot-9 guard made 25 starts and had 4.8 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists while averaging 26.2 minutes.Carter underwent season-ending shoulder surgery during the 2012-13 season and was redshirted.After loving the game so much for so long, it is hard to imagine forgoing an opportunity to play for one more year, Carter said. Yet, the past four years have taken a toll on my body that I can no longer ignore. The injuries that I once effortlessly pushed aside and played through are beginning to catch up to me and have long-term effects.Warlick said Carter also had been dealing with a knee problem.We discussed only practicing twice a week or only playing in games, but anyone who knows me knows those options were unacceptable to me, Carter said. If I was going to continue playing basketball, I wanted to practice, condition, lift weights, be with my teammates and be able to work as hard as I could to get better every single day.Carter graduated in August 2015 with a degree in communication studies and will remain in school this year working toward her masters degree in sport psychology. Warlick called Carter a great ambassador to this program.The Lady Vols open the 2016-17 season Nov. 11 at James Madison. ' ' '
