NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Two first half goals by senior Lydia Simmons and strong defense generated Vanderbilts third win of the season in a 4-0 shutout against the Murray State Racers.With the 8-0 win over Jackson State and the Dores victory over MSU, Vanderbilt boasts back-to-back shutout wins. With Lea Waddle earning minutes in the second half, all 12 Vandy newcomers have now earning playing time.I thought we were very good today, said head coach Darren Ambrose. The team showed up and did the things we asked them to do. When we accomplished those things we opened Murray State up and made them chasers, which created some great chances for us and some nice goals.Maintaining possession for the majority of the first half, Vanderbilt netted three goals to leave the Murray State Racers in a deep hole. Playing like they did in the second half against FSU and matchup against Jackson State, once the Commodores claimed possession of the ball the team showed patience and made smart decisions.The bread and butter of the 2016 team, Vandys defense made sure to man-mark leading MSU scorer, Harriet Withers, not allowing the Aussie a touch. By the end of the half, the Racers lacked a single shot, a feat due to the diligence of the defense, cutting off passes and making tackles.Vandys three first half goals were all excellent shots. Absolutely drilling the ball into the net outside of the penalty box, redshirt junior Lydia Simmons, earned her first goal of the season for the initial blow.Kaylann Boyd generated her second career goal for the 2-0 Commodore lead. A freshman-to-freshman connection, Hannon Eberts was credited with the assist as Boyd placed the ball directly in the center of the net.Just before heading into the locker room, Simmons dribbled in and stuck the ball into the bottom left corner, solidifying an insurance goal for a 3-0 lead.Lydia was tremendous for us today. She had some time on the ball and created time for herself. When she puts her mind to it, Lydia is one of our best players. Were just looking to get a little consistency from her. Today I think she also did a really good job defending and thats the other part of the game that we focus on with her.Murray State came out of the locker room looking to cause chaos, as the squads level of physicality stepped up in the final 45 minuts. Placing a header on goal, Fahrner earned her first save of the outing in the 51st minute. The MSU offense had six additional attacks, but lacked the finishing quality necessary to level the game.Looking towards Sunday, Vandy hosts San Francisco in the teams final non-conference game before SEC play begins. With kickoff at noon, fans are invited to get to Sundays matinee early as we celebrate National Wildlife Day. Zoo animals will be in attendance from 11:00 am to 12:00 pm CT.

Adelaide expect defensive duo Kyle Cheney and Luke Brown to play in their AFL elimination final after emerging unscathed from Wednesdays main training session.Cheney (groin) and Brown (soreness) eased any lingering concern at training ahead of the Crows knockout final against North Melbourne.They moved really well. We did some decent training and they seemed to get through it fine ... I think they will be good to go, Adelaide ruckman Sam Jacobs told reporters.The Crows will make at least two changes to their side with vice-captain Rory Sloane to return from suspension and rebounding half-back Brodie Smith overcoming concussion.Adelaide enter the Adelaide Oval final as hot favourites against a Kangaroos outfit which has won just two of their past 11 games.But the Crows remain wary of the Roos, and particularly their influential ruckman Todd Goldstein who Jacobs rates the best in the business despite Melbournes Max Gawn winning All Australian honours this season.I think hes still thhe best in the game, Jacobs said of his North rival.ddddddddddddObviously Maxy has been great this year but I think Toddy is the most well-rounded and has obviously been at the top of his game for five or 10 years now.I have played a lot of footy against him. We have both had our ups and downs against each other and hopefully this week Im able to compete really well and give our mids first use.Jacobs said he another motive for performing well against Goldstein - making some amends for a poor last outing in Adelaides loss to West Coast which cost the Crows a top-four berth.I personally expect to bounce back well, Jacobs said.Its obviously disappointing not to play well but in the past I have had bad games and I have been able to respond.So Im confident this week I can compete. Obviously Goldy is a really good player so Im going to have to be on my game. ' ' '
