Earthquakes struggle again in second half against Dynamo in 3-2 loss

Published on by smallforceLeave a comment

By Pearl Allison Lo

The San Jose Earthquakes’ inability to score in the second half again cost them as they fell to the Houston Dynamo 3-2 at BBVA Compass Stadium on Saturday.

The Quakes were up 2-0 after the first half,  but the Dynamo came back to earn the win in the 87th minute.

San Jose is now winless in their last five. Three of the results have been a one goal differential.

The Quakes opponent again put up a lot of shots against their net, as they were outshot 19-8.

Houston had just won their first ever US Open Cup on Wednesday.

San Jose started their scoring when they ended a scoreless streak that started after the 61st minute in their September 19th game.

Chris Wondolowski was the last member of the team to score and he did it again in the 37th minute. Tommy Thompson drew a penalty and Wondolowski converted to make him just two shy of the MLS all-time record with his 143rd goal.

The Earthquakes got help from the Dynamo eight minutes later when Alejandro Fuenmayor scored on his own net.

Wondolowski commented,”It was a great ball in by Jackson [Yueill], squared it across. I was there. Thought I would get a touch, but the defender came sliding in and got a touch as well.”

Two substitutions by either team filled in the gaps between each of Houston’s three goals in the second half.

Mauro Manotas scored in the 56th minute.

Quakes interim head coach Steve Ralston said, “Frustration is a good word…to find ourselves up 2-0 was nice. I told the guys, ‘Listen, this has happened too much this season. We need to finish this game out…we have to raise our level of play.’ And we didn’t. Once they scored the first goal, we were mentally weak and we felt like this happened oh-so-many times to us and I don’t think we have the courage to get out of it right now.”

Tomás Martínez evened the score in the 68th minute.

Ralston put in Florian Jungwirth in the 76th minute and Danny Hoesen in the 82nd minute, but it was to of no avail.

Second-half substitute Romell Quioto gave the Quakes more heartbreak when he scored.

Ralston’s message after the horn blew, “I sat with them and told them, ‘It’s not good enough. We know that. We have to be brave and we have to pick each other up and we have to do the little things better.’ We’ll see. We have three games. What do they want to make of it?”

Up Next: The Quakes begins their last homestand of the season when they host the New York Red Bulls Saturday at 7:30 pm PT.

Still smarting from loss to Stanford, Oregon releases their frustration on Cal in 42-24 win

Published on by moepeaLeave a comment

By Morris Phillips

BERKELEY, Calif. — Among the numerous elements contributing intrigue to Saturday’s Oregon-Cal matchup, one factor stood out: Ducks’ quarterback Justin Herbert–the loosely defined best player on the field–had the ability to hand deliver the outcome for his team.

And the result? Yeah, Herbert was good as advertised, but he sure had a lot of assistance from his pissed off Oregon teammates. In a mere matter of minutes before halftime the whole puzzle interlocked, and the Bears saw their 10-7 lead evaporate into an insurmountable 28-10 deficit.

Oregon cruised to a 42-24 win behind Herbert’s 225 yards passing and two touchdowns. But the real stars were Herbert’s ax safe teammates–on both sides of the ball–who were fiercely committed to erasing the memory of last week’s epic home loss to Stanford.

As always under coach Justin Wilcox, the Bears were fastidiously prepared and engaged, just outclassed by Oregon. Turnovers hurt; Oregon’s Drayton Carlberg sacked Brandon McIlwain, who fumbled, and watched LaMarr Winston Jr. race 61 yards on a scoop-and- score, the capper to Oregon’s 21-point explosion before halftime.

Bigger issues were presented by the Ducks’ speed and quickness in their defensive front, and their robust run game that was a question coming in due to injuries. Starter Tony Brooks-James, nicked up in the Stanford game, was only used on kickoffs. But backups Travis Dye and CJ Verdell both ran for over 100 yards as the Ducks found success running, which reduced the pressure on Herbert in the passing game.

Eagles beat Barracuda 4-2 to split preseason series

By Marko Ukalovic

The San Jose Barracuda weren’t able to sweep their only series of the preseason as the Colorado Eagles beat San Jose 4-2 at Budweiser Events Center on Saturday evening.

Sergei Boikov drew first blood for the Eagles in the first period. He went to coast to coast as he skated up the right wing and fired a shot into the far corner of the goal past Cuda goalie Josef Korenar for his first goal of the pre-season at the 12:30 mark.

San Jose would take advantage of a short-handed opportunity two minutes before the 1st intermission. Jon Martin led a 2-on-1 short handed break when he sent a crossing pass over to Manny Wiederer, who finished off short-handed chance with a tap in into an empty net for his first goal of the pre-season at the 17:51 mark.

Boikov would help give Colorado back the lead early in the second period when he whipped over a pass to Ty Lewis, who snapped a shot over the far left pad of Korenar for his first goal of the pre-season at the 3:36 mark

Halfway through the second period, Austin Lotz replaced Korenar in between the pipes. Both teams weren’t able to capitalize on their power play opportunity as the Eagles went into the second intermission with a 2-1 lead.

In the third period, Colorado would put the game away with two goals. Andrew Aggozino scored on a rebound chance that beat Lotz to the right side at the 2:57 mark. The power play goal was the first of the pre-season for Aggozino. Michael Joly scored on a pretty one -timer that was a result of an 2-on-1 break at the 12:31 mark.

The Cuda would get a late goal when newly acquired Francis Perron scored to cut the lead in half at the 18:51 mark.

Pavel Francouz (1-0) earned the win by making 27 saves while Lotz took the loss in relief (0-1), allowing two goals on nine shots.

The A’s win for the 97th time, downing the Angels 5-2

By Charlie O. Mallonee

The Oakland Athletics know what they will be doing next Wednesday night. They will be in the Bronx, New York at Yankee Stadium fighting for their very “baseball lives” in the 2018 American League Wild Card Game. The problem for the A’s is they have to finish the regular season in Anaheim before heading to the East Coast.

The Athletics have two goals for those final games on Saturday and Sunday at the “Big A”:

  1. Don’t get hurt and
  2. DON’T GET HURT!

Oakland has been a team that has been besieged by injuries this season and they cannot afford to lose any member of this team before heading into the playoffs. Of course, these proud athletes want to win, but staying healthy is more important than winning at this point in the season.

Fortunately, the A’s were able to win and stay healthy on Saturday night. Oakland set the tone of the game in the first inning in a very familiar way. With two out and Matt Chapman on at first base, Khris Davis hit a pitch from Tyler Skaggs over the right field wall for his 48th home run of the season to give the A’s a 2-0 lead. The two RBIs upped Davis’ total to 123 for the season.

The A’s decided to go with the “bullpenning” pitching philosophy in game two of this final series of the regular season. As usual, Liam Hendriks opened the game on the mound working the first for Oakland. Trevor Cahill became the “featured pitcher” taking over in the bottom of the second inning.

Oakland added another run in the top of the third inning when Jed Lowrie hit a sacrifice fly to right field that allowed Ramon Laureano to score from third. Laureano hit a double to lead off the inning.

The Angels took advantage of an A’s fielding error, added a stolen base and well-timed RBI single to score their first run of the game in bottom of the fifth inning.

Jim Johnson–yes, that Johnson who pitched for Oakland back in 2014–took over the pitching duties for the Angels. Jed Lowrie stepped in the batter’s box and hit his 23rd homer of the season off Mr. Johnson to up the A’s lead to 4-1.

Fernando Rodney took the ball for the A’s in the bottom of the seventh and he struggled. With the bases loaded and two out, Rodney walked in the Angels second run of the contest. He then had to face Mike Trout with bases loaded. Rodney was able to get Trout to fly out to right field and the A’s were still leading 4-2 after seven full innings.

In the top of the eighth inning, the A’s loaded up the bases with one out. Stephen Piscotty hit a fly ball to right field that was caught by Kole Calhoun. Ramon Laureano tagged up at third and scored the A’s fifth run of the game.

That would be it for scoring in the game and Oakland recorded their 97th win of 2018 with the 5-2 victory.

LAA 5-2
Graphic: @Angels

The “Bullpenning” A’s
Oakland used six pitchers in their win on Saturday night. Hendriks opened while Trevor Cahill filled the role of the featured pitcher going 4.0 innings giving up one run (earned) on one hit. He walked one and struck out one batter.

Shawn Kelley worked one inning walking one and striking out two. Fernando Rodney had very shaky outing as he wound up facing seven batters and giving up an earned run in the seventh inning.

Familia came in to set things up in the eighth inning and Blake Treinen closed it out in the ninth.

Cahill (7-4) was awarded the win while Treinen picked up his 38th save of the year.

Angels’ hurlers
LA starter Tyler Skaggs (8-10) took the loss after giving up the two-run home run to Davis in the first inning. The Angels used six pitchers who did not do a bad job. The gave up five runs off eight hits. They walked four A’s and struck out nine. It was the two home runs that really did the Angels in on Saturday night.

A’s at the plate

LAA Davis
Two guys who love the game Photo: @Athletics
  • Ramon Laureano continues to be amazing. He went 2-for-5 in this game scoring two runs. Yes, he scored each time he reached base.
  • Jed Lowrie does it again with a home run, sacrifice fly, two RBI and a run scored.
  • Khris Davis (yes, they must sign him to a long-term contract) had just another day at the office with a home run, two RBIs and a run scored.
  • Chad Pinder went 2-for-4 in the game.

LA Stars

  • Only four Angels managed to get a hit in the game–Jose Fernandez, Andrelton Simmons, Taylor Ward and Kaleb Cowart.
  • Five LA batters did reach base by way of a walk.
  • Ouch! The Angels left nine men on base.

Up next
Game 162 of the 2018 season will get underway at 12:07 pm PT on Sunday. All MLB games on Sunday will begin in the noon hour in their respective time zones. Brett Anderson (4-5, 4.42) will start for the A’s while Matt Shoemaker (2-2, 4.82) will take the mound for the Halos.

Three takeaways from SJSU’s tough 44-41 homecoming loss to Hawaii

SAN JOSE, Calif. — There’s no doubt that the 2018 Homecoming Game inside CEFCU Stadium was a blast between the San Jose State Spartans (0-4, 0-1 MW) and Hawaii Rainbow Warriors (5-1, 2-0 MW) on Saturday night. But for the Spartans, it was sort of the same old rubbish, as they dropped a heartbreaker 44-41 in a whopping five overtimes.

Let’s get straight to my three takeaways from SJSU vs. Hawaii. As always, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section. Thanks for reading.

3. Not only one, but two Josh’s
Never underestimate the power of a young man named Josh. In this case, there were two young men named Josh who made Saturday’s game a breakout type of game.

Spartans quarterback Josh Love finished with 3 touchdowns and 451 yards and completed 28 of 49 attempts. Spartans tight end Josh Oliver finished with 1 touchdown, 8 grabs, 158 yards and 70 long gains and posted a 19.8 average.

2. Why didn’t the Spartans go for the 2-point conversions?
The Spartans should’ve gone for the 2-point conversation when Roberson scored his first touchdown of the game, a 4-yard passing touchdown from quarterback Josh Love, and Crawford kicked in the extra point for a 31-24 lead over the Rainbow Warriors midway through the fourth quarter. If that successfully happened, then SJSU could’ve snatched a 32-24 lead and perhaps would’ve put the game out of reach for Hawaii.

That way, SJSU likely wouldn’t have had to play through five overtimes, only to absorb the heartbreaking loss. But, we can’t change the regulation events, so the Spartans should’ve gone for the 2-point conversion when Roberson scored a 13-yard rushing touchdown, his second touchdown of the game, and kicker Bryce Crawford kicked in the extra point to tie the game 38-38 in the second overtime.

1. What happened to the kickers?
The Spartans had to answer with a touchdown in order to beat the Rainbow Warriors. If you watched the game, you’ll know that never happened, as both Crawford and the Rainbow Warriors’ kicker Ryan Meskell pretty much struggled in the 5 overtimes.

No one really knows what happened to Crawford and Meskell except for themselves, which may actually be a good thing because they got every right to feel ashamed of themselves (if they do feel that way).

In the end, it was a hard-fought game between the Spartans and Rainbow Warriors. All we can say is that the Spartans have to prepare for next week’s matchup vs. Colorado State and the Spartans’ coaching staff has to do whatever it takes to turn things around or else.  Spartan fans, don’t forget to check out Brennan’s press conference at Simpkins Stadium Center on Monday afternoon at 1:00 pm PDT on KLIV 1590 AM.

No. 8 Irish knock off No. 7 Cardinal 38-17

Ian Book, in his second game as Notre Dame’s starting quarterback, engineered the No. 8-ranked Fighting Irish to their fifth win of the season without a loss Saturday. No. 7 Stanford was the victim in Notre Dame’s 38-17 win at South Bend, Ind.

The Irish held Stanford to 229 yards of total offense, doing the job defensively with five sacks of Stanford quarterback K.J. Costello, nine tackles for loss, an interception and breaking up eight Cardinal passes.

Notre Dame also held the Cardinal (4-1 overall, 2-0 Pac-12) to a second-half 46-yard field goal by Jet Toner and no points in the fourth quarter.

Not helping the Cardinal was losing the services of Bryce Love in the fourth quarter due to an ankle injury. Love, who finished with 73 rushing yards on 17 carries, spent most of last season dealing with a chronic ankle sprain.

Book, meanwhile, completed 24 of 33 passes for 278 yards and four touchdowns. Dexter Williams paced the Irish running attack with 161 yards and one touchdown, and Miles Boykin caught 11 passes for 144 yards and a touchdown.

Love scored on a 39-yard touchdown run in the first quarter, which tied the game at 7-7. Stanford tied the game again in the second quarter at 14-14 when Costello tossed a 4-yard TD pass to JJ Arcega-Whiteside.

After that, it was all Notre Dame. The Irish went ahead to stay on a Book TD pass of 10 yards to Chase Claypool with :39 remaining in the first half.

Notre Dame made it a two-possession game when Book found Boykin for an 8-yard touchdown.

Costello completed 15 of 27 passes for 174 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Arcega-Whiteside and Trenton Irwin each caught five passes for the Cardinal.

Alijah Holder led a busy Cardinal defense with eight tackles and two assists, with Paulson Adebo finishing with seven tackles and one assist. Sean Barton, Malik Antoine and Joey Alfieri each had six tackles.

The Cardinal return home next Saturday to host the Utah Utes. Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m. PT.

San Jose State loses 44-41 to Hawaii in the fifth overtime

SAN JOSE, Calif. — After a much-needed bye week to recharge and refresh, the San Jose State Spartans returned to CEFCU Stadium on Saturday to host the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors in the university’s annual Homecoming game.

Prior to Homecoming, the Spartans’ Twitter announced this year’s SJSU football captains: Dakari Monroe, Bryson Bridges, Boogie Roberts and Josh Oliver. All four players deserved their respective titles. The Spartans’ other captain was Mayor Sam Liccardo. Liccardo received some boos and heckles, but ignored the negativity around him.

The Spartans survived an early scare just minutes into the first quarter. Jesse Osuna went down with an apparent injury, but he managed to get up off the ground after nearly five minutes. Spartan fans cheered and clapped when Osuna got up.

The Rainbow Warriors got on the board first. Ryan Meskell scored a 25-yard field goal for a 3-0 lead with 7:45 left in the first.

The Spartans’ Twitter diverted the fans’ attention to the SJSU men’s basketball players who were at Homecoming to show some love to the SJSU football players on the field.

The Spartans trailed the Rainbow Warriors 3-0 at the end of the first quarter.

The Spartans flipped the script just moments after the first quarter. Boogie Roberts scored a two-yard rushing touchdown and Bryce Crawford kicked a PAT to snatch a 7-3 lead just 35 seconds into the second quarter.

The Spartans grabbed a 14-7 lead at the 10:04 mark of the second quarter, as Bailey Gaither caught a pass from Josh Love for a 55-yard passing touchdown and Crawford kicked a PAT.

Gaither, however, appeared to be in pain following his touchdown. Gaither had his left ankle checked out while covering his face with a towel. Gaither didn’t return to the game.

The Rainbow Warriors held onto the red zone, but the Spartans refused to allow a scoring play. Crawford kicked a 24-yard field goal to extend SJSU’s lead to 17-3 with 6:12 left in the second quarter.

The Rainbow Warriors brought themselves back into the game with an 18-yard passing touchdown by Elijah Dale from Cole McDonald and a PAT from Meskell. Hawaii pulled within seven points, but continued to trail SJSU 17-10 with 2:21 left in the second quarter.

The Spartans took their first timeout of the first half. That being said, the final 21 seconds of the second quarter was crucial for SJSU. After a couple of failed passes, SJSU took their second timeout with nine seconds left on the clock. That wasn’t the solution either. SJSU proceeded to use their third timeout with five seconds back on the clock. Crawford attempted a field goal, but it missed the crossbar.

The Spartans settled for a 17-10 lead over the Rainbow Warriors at halftime.

The Spartans were alarmed for a moment, but continued to cling onto a one-point lead, 17-16, with 9:13 left in the third quarter. John Ursua caught pass from McDonald for a three-yard passing touchdown, but Meskell failed to kick in a PAT.

The Spartans took a 24-16 lead just 53 seconds later. Josh Oliver caught a pass from Love for a 14-yard passing touchdown and Crawford kicked in a PAT.

The Spartans had some good looks that wowed the Spartan fans in attendance. Jonathan Lenard, Jr. collected his first career pick. Also, Tre Hartley helped the Spartans’ process in getting a first down.

The Spartans led the Rainbow Warriors 24-16 at the end of the third quarter.

The Rainbow Warriors tied the score 24-24 at the 12:45 mark of the fourth quarter. Ursua caught a pass from McDonald for a three-yard passing touchdown and Marcus Armstrong-Brown was successful on the two-point conversion.

The Spartans went ahead 31-24 at the 10:07 mark of the fourth quarter. Malike Roberson caught a pass from Love for a four-year passing touchdown and Crawford kicked in a PAT.

But the Rainbow Warriors refused to back down. Hawaii tied the score 31-31 with 4:34 left in the fourth quarter. Ursua caught a pass from McDonald for a four-yard passing touchdown and Meskell kicked in a PAT.

Neither team made the necessary go-ahead play in order to win, so the Spartans and Rainbow Warriors headed into the first overtime with a 31-31 tie. Hawaii got the first overtime possession.

The Rainbow Warriors snatched a 38-31 lead. Dayton Furuta scored a one-yard rushing touchdown and Meskell kicked in a PAT.

The Spartans quickly tied the score 38-38. Roberson scored a 13-yard rushing touchdown and Crawford kicked in a PAT. As a result, the two teams headed into the second overtime with a 38-38 tie.

Meskell missed two field goals, so the two teams headed into the third overtime with a 38-38 tie.

The third time clearly wasn’t the charm as Meskell missed his third field goal in the third overtime. The Spartans had their chance to get ahead, but Crawford missed his go-ahead field goal. The two teams headed into the fourth overtime with a 38-38 tie.

Crawford, however, kicked a 20-yard field goal to put the Spartans ahead 41-38. The two teams headed into the fifth overtime and this specific statistic signaled the Spartans’ first fifth overtime game at CEFCU Stadium.

Meskell kicked a 35-yard field goal to tie the game 41-41. The Rainbow Warriors then scored what appeared to be a touchdown, but the officials called it out of bounds and subsequently handed a five-yard holding penalty.

Meskell kicked another 35-yard field goal to put the Rainbow Warriors ahead 44-41. Shortly after, Crawford received an opportunity to kick in another game-tying field goal for additional playing time, but missed it wide right.

The Spartans fell to the Rainbow Warriors 44-41 in the fifth overtime.

Timberwolves beat the Warriors 114-110 in preseason game

By: Ana Kieu

The Golden State Warriors opened up the 2018 NBA preseason with a home game versus the Minnesota Timberwolves at Oracle Arena on Saturday.

Prior to Saturday’s game, Kevin Durant was presented with his 2017-18 Season-long NBA Community Assist Award.

Warriors basketball was back, and the Splash Party picked up where it left off. Stephen Curry started the Splash Party with a couple of 3-pointers and then Durant and Andre Iguodala followed suit. In addition, a sweet dish from Durant set up the slam by Kevon Looney. Despite the Warriors’ on-court successes, the Timberwolves led 37-36 at the end of the first quarter.

The Warriors bounced back in the second quarter and subsequently carried a 71-65 lead over the Timberwolves to the locker room at the end of the first half. Klay Thompson had 15 points and 4 rebounds. Curry had 14 points and 3 assists. Durant had 10 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. Jordan Bell had 10 points and 4 rebounds. Shaun Livingston had 6 points and 2 assists. Draymond Green had 6 assists, 2 points and 2 rebounds.

Durant threw down some dunks in the third quarter. And, to be fair, Durant’s dunks appeared to be in mid-season form. Durant was able to show off the handle as well as the mid-range.

The Warriors trailed the Timberwolves 94-92 at the end of the third quarter.

The Warriors’ rookie power was certainly a sight to see. Jacob Evans III notched his first career preseason bucket at the 10:11 mark of the fourth quarter. Marcus Derrickson followed up with two 3-pointers.

The two teams were tied with 3:05 left in the fourth quarter. Evans continued to put in work on the Warriors’ court. But Evans’ or anyone else’s efforts were disregarded as the Timberwolves defeated the Warriors 114-110.

The Warriors’ final statistics showed Curry with 21 points, 4 assists and 2 rebounds, Thompson with 17 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, Durant with 16 points, 4 rebounds and 3 rebounds, Bell with 10 points, 7 assists and 1 rebound, Derrickson with 10 points and 3 rebounds, and Looney with 7 points, 3 rebounds and 1 rebound.

Notes
Warriors’ starters: Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson and Damian Jones.

The Warriors and Sacramento Kings will battle it out next Friday at 7:05 pm PT inside the KeyArena in Seattle in a nationally televised game on ESPN.
