of their 2016 season opener, the LSU Tigers suffered a 1-0 setback to the
17th-ranked Virginia Tech Hokies in the opening match of this years Charleston
Classic at Patriots Point for their first season-opening defeat in five years
since the 2011 campaign.The Tigers (0-1) went down to a 1-0 defeat for the
second time in as many meetings in their series with the Hokies (1-0) as the two
sides last met in Winston Salem, North Carolina, on Sept. 5, 2010.Virginia Tech
is one of the top programs in the country, and certainly a Top 20 team going
into this season for a reason, said LSU head coach Brian Lee. They have some
real weapons going forward, but I thought that our defensive effort and work
rate tonight was very encouraging. Well be looking to find more of an offensive
rhythm on Sunday, so we look forward to our next opportunity here in
Charleston.LSUs sophomore goalkeeper Caroline Brockmeier kept the opening
scoreline despite the Hokies sustaining some early pressure when she denied
All-American forward Murielle Tiernan the games opening goal in the sixth minute
of play. Tiernan found herself in position in the left side of the penalty area,
but Brockmeier went low to her right for the save at her near post.But the
Hokies struck just nine minutes later from a second successive corner kick taken
by Anissa Dadkhah when Tiernan found the back of the net for her first goal of
the season in the 15th minute of play.The Tigers forged their best chance of the
match in the dying seconds of the first half when junior midfielder Debbie Hahn
stepped up to take a free kick about 35 yards in front of goal. Junior defender
Jordane Carvery headed Hahns floated effort on target, but Hokie goalkeeper
Mandy McGlynn shuffled to her left and snatched the ball out of the air before
it breached her goal in the top-right corner.Freshman Marlena Cutura was solid
defensively on her debut for the Tigers in her left back spot, even denying the
Hokies the opportunity to double their lead on the hour with an instinctive run
to the far post. Tiernan found herself in space down the left side and squared a
pass across the six-yard box for what appeared to be an easy tap in, but Cutura
sprinted into position to cut out the pass to the Hokie attacker and play it out
for a Virginia Tech throw in beyond the right touch line.Brockmeier again stood
tall in goal for the Tigers as the clock ticked under 15 minutes to play when
she went high and punched a stinging drive by Hokie striker Kallie Peurifoy over
the crossbar and out for a corner kick. The Florida State transfer faced 17
shots and made eight saves in an impressive debut between the posts.Brockmeier
and Cutura were among six debutants for the Tigers on the night as they were
joined in the rotation by juniors Zoe Higgins and Nicole Howard and freshman
Caitlin Cantrill and Jade Clarke.The Tigers will wrap up their season-opening
weekend on Sunday afternoon with a match against tournament host College of
Charleston that is set to kick off at 12:30 p.m. CT at Patriots Point. After
wrapping up its trip to the Charleston Classic at Patriots Point, LSU returns to
Baton Rouge for its 2016 home opener on Thursday against George Washington with
kickoff set for 7 p.m.

Nike NFL Jerseys . -- Jakob Silfverberg is making himself right at home
with the Anaheim Ducks, scoring four goals in his first four games. The greatest
streak in the history of the North American League of Legends Championship
Series (LCS) has been broken, and by one of the unlikeliest of agents. The 14-0
match record and 17-game win streak of Team SoloMid (TSM) were snapped early
Saturday evening in the LCS Arena by Phoenix1 (P1), a club that failed to secure
a single victory through the first half of the season. Since the second half of
the split, however, P1 has risen from the proverbial ashes to win four of its
last six games in the league and raise its record to 4-11.It feels really good,
proving that we can conquer any team, starting support Austin Gate Yu told
ESPN.com immediately after the massive upset victory. I knew we could do it the
whole time. No one should take us lightly.What appeared to be another step
toward a flawless 18-0 season turned into TSMs worst match of the split.
Phoenix1, which fought valiantly in its first series of the split versus SoloMid
before losing 2-0, came back decisively after dropping the initial map of
Saturdays matchup. The dominant play of rookie jungler Rami Inori Charagh turned
the tide of the series in Game 2, as his electric Rengar play took the
seven-time NA LCS finalists by surprise to force a third game. On the third map,
Inori once again overpowered TSMs Dennis Svenskeren Johnsen to open up an early
lead, and a cohesive team effort froom all five starting players closed out the
stunning upset.ddddddddddddTSM, now 14-1 on the split, heads into its match
Sunday against Team Envy (NV, 7-8) hoping to keep up with the first-place
Immortals (IMT, 15-1). The two top teams meet next weekend in a matchup that
will likely secure the regular-season title for the side that exits
victorious.Phoenix1 entered its series vs. TSM needing a win to keep its faint
playoff hopes alive, and the organizations biggest triumph in the teams short
history -- P1 was formed in May -- has provided a bit more leeway with three
matches remaining. In order for P1 to secure a playoff berth, it would need to
win all three matches (vs. Cloud9, NV, IMT) while Envy, the current holders of
the sixth and final postseason slot, would have to lose all its remaining
matches against TSM, P1 and the last-place Echo Fox. P1 would also need the
current seventh-place and eighth-place teams, Apex and NRG, to drop matches
along the way to the finish line.But even with the long odds, theres hope. And
for a team that was criticized heavily and tossed around as a joke in the first
half of the season, this newfound legitimacy -- and streak-breaking upset -- is
something no one can ever take away from it. ' ' '
