COLUMBIA, S.C. - The South Carolina volleyball team threw a spur-sized monkey wrench into the SEC standings Sunday evening, as the Gamecocks stunned conference leader Missouri in four sets, 25-20, 23-25, 26-24, 25-23. The Tigers came into the match ranked 21st nationally, but the Gamecocks used 17 kills from Mikayla Shields and a double-double from Koko Atoa-Williams to pull off the upset. It was the programs first win over a top-25 team since Sept. of 2006.In my six years, this is the biggest win weve had as a program, head coach Scott Swanson said after the match. We told the kids in the pregame talk that we were going to upset Missouri tonight, and they believed it. They came out and they worked and they fought and did everything they could. We executed really really well, and a lot of team effort... this is a signature win for us, its huge.1st Set: The Gamecocks (18-8, 6-8 SEC) came out on the hunt early, using an 8-2 run to claim a 12-7 lead on the Tigers (21-5, 12-2 SEC). That run, which featured kills from Shields, Dessaa Legros and Aubrey Ezell, proved to be the deciding factor, as Missouri would get no closer than two points for the rest of the game. South Carolina out-hit its opposition .360 to .118, and behind five kills from Legros, it earned some confidence early with the 25-20 win.2nd Set: The Tigers were able to send the match to halftime tied 1-1 after milking a big run to start the set. South Carolina fell behind 7-0 from the jump, but showed its resolve with a big comeback late in the 25-23 loss. Missouri held a 15-12 lead at the mid-way point of the game, and appeared to pull away for good at 19-14 before allowing another run for the Gamecocks. They would fight all the way back to 24-23, but an error at the net gave Missouri the win heading into the break. The Tigers used four aces to make the difference in a set where Carolina out-blocked and out-hit them.3rd Set: The crucial third set was a grinder for the Gamecocks, as they weathered what would be Missouris best offensive set of the match (hitting .394). A pair of early blocks gave South Carolina the 5-1 lead, but the Tigers beat them to 15 and held a one-point advantage at the mid-way point. All told, nine ties came from the set, and while the Gamecocks managed to stay just a point ahead through the trading of sideouts, but found some wiggle room at 25-24 and Mikayla Shields fourth kill of the game clinched the 2-1 lead.4th Set: Missouri looked ready to make it a five-set affair, using a 7-1 run early in the fourth to take the 13-10 lead on Carolina. That would grow to 17-13 before the Gamecocks regrouped with a timeout. The home team got back to within one, 19-18, before a smaller 3-0 burst behind Melanie Crows service had the Tigers sitting at 22-18. The trio of Shields, Legros and Atoa-Williams would not relent, and the Gamecocks scored seven of the next eight points to pull out the upset. Of those seven points, Legros accounted for three (two kills, one block) Shields slammed home her seventh kill of the set and Atoa-Williams set off the fireworks with her 10th kill of the night to seal the 25-23 comeback win, taking the match.STAT OF THE MATCHDespite giving up more kills to the Tigers, the Gamecocks committed 11 fewer attack errors to take a match that was decided by a combined 11 points. 12 blocks for South Carolina are the most in a single match since Oct. 2 against Kentucky. All told, the Tigers committed 30 unforced errors (17 attack, eight on service, two on serve receive and three on blocking errors).NOTABLEThe last win over a ranked opponent came on Sept. 17, 2006, when current assistant coach Shonda Cole talled 35 kills over four sets to beat #6 Florida. This is South Carolinas second win ever against Missouri, the last coming at home in 2014. Koko Atoa-Williams recorded her third double-double of the season, giving her 16 for her career. She now ranks 21st in school history for double-doubles, and her 18 digs Sunday night are the most since her career high of 27 against Tennessee in 2014. Mikayla Shields has flourished in the teams 5-1 offense, showing off her ability as a passer and hitter. The freshman put together her third double-double over the last five matches and had a season-best 14 digs Sunday. Missouri hit .367 as a team in the first meeting between the two this season, but the Tigers were limited to just .178 on Sunday. South Carolina was able to slow down a deep Mizzou offense thanks to 12 blocks. Four different players had three or more blocks, led by Claire Edwards four. The teams 18 wins are now tied for the most under sixth-year coach Scott Swanson and are tied for the most by any team since 2008. QUOTABLE: SENIOR KOKO ATOA-WILLIAMSWhat the win means for the team It just shows how well our team meshes together, and how much fight we have. To go up against such a big team, the number one team in our conference, for us to pull together and come out in four really means a lot.

Kuznetsov, who was selected by the Capitals in the first round of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, has been playing for his hometown team Chelyabinsk Traktor of the KHL.JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Oakland Raiders coach Jack Del Rio has no idea what kind of reception hell get in Jacksonville on Sunday.Itll probably a mixture of love and loathing. After all, the final few years of his near-decade tenure with the Jaguars were far from ideal. Then again, Jacksonville might welcome Del Rio back after the franchises recent struggles.I would say theres always an appreciation to go back to a place you spent a good portion of your career, Del Rio said Wednesday. A lot of fond memories, a lot of good people there, a lot of friends, and our family gets back there quite a bit. So from that standpoint, its always good to go compete against the people you went up against.Del Rio spent nine years in Jacksonville, notching three winning seasons (2004, 2005, 2007) and two .500 seasons (2006, 2010). He was fired after 11 games in 2011, let go the same day owner Wayne Weaver sold the team to Shad Khan.Del Rio landed in Denver as the Broncos defensive coordinator for three years (2012-14) and then got another head-coaching job with the Oakland Raiders in 2015, a second chance he believed he would eventually get.I thought that I had done a good job in a lot of areas and somebody was looking for a guy with experience and that I would get another shot, Del Rio said.He said hes changed just about everything from his time in Jacksonville, including how he assembled his staff, how the team meets and practices, how he deals with the media and how he handles game-management situations.You learn from your experiences, and certainly a second time around is a whole different perspective, Del Rio said. Your first time being in that chair, you understand the volume of work and the number of decisions that need to be made. Regardless of your preparation, theres an adjustment, and having that experience under my belt now certainly makes me, I think, a better head coach.It helps to have a franchise quarterback like Derek Carr.A second-round draft pick in 2013, Carr has 65 touchdown passes and 28 interceptions, clearly outperforming Jacksonvilles Blake Bortles during the stretch. Bortles, the third overall selection in 2013, has 54 TD passes, 42 interceptions and 1200 sacks.ddddddddddddDon Shula talked about the difference between having a quarterback or not, Del Rio said. Being unlucky is not having a quarterback. I think you can have great design and all that, but the triggerman really makes it all go. So having a good, young quarterback is certainly an exciting thing for our franchise.Its pretty much what doomed Del Rio in Jacksonville. He failed three times to find the right guy, missing on Byron Leftwich, David Garrard and Blaine Gabbert.The Jaguars went 23-36 in Del Rios final four years. While it may have felt like a rough patch at the time, it looks like a relatively smooth ride compared to the rebuilding years since. Jacksonville is 18-56 since Del Rio was fired and hasnt been .500 this late in any season since 2010.The Jaguars (2-3) have a chance to even their record against the Raiders (4-2), who are 3-0 on the road.With a game at Tampa Bay up next, Oakland will remain in Florida for a week and practice in Sarasota. The layover likely means Del Rio will get to see his son, Florida quarterback Luke Del Rio, play against Georgia next Saturday in Jacksonville.Im working on the details to get over there, Jack Del Rio said. Id love to be able to watch him play. Obviously, we spent a lot of time playing catch before the games down on that field. Very cool memories. Weve got a lot of pictures, a lot of memories of us spending time together there.Only three players remain on Jacksonvilles revamped roster from Del Rios tenure: defensive lineman Tyson Alualu, tight end Marcedes Lewis and linebacker Paul Posluszny. They all had good things to say about their former coach, and everyone inside the building knows Del Rio will want to win in his return -- regardless of the reception.I think it is special, Jaguars coach Gus Bradley said. There is something to be said for going back where you put time in and you put a lot of energy into it. Then to have the opportunity (to return), it gives you a little extra juice.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
