SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Katie Johnson scored twice in the final 16 minutes to lead Southern California to a 3-1 victory over top-ranked West Virginia in the NCAA womens College Cup championship game Sunday at Avaya Stadium.I felt like the goal against us was kind of my fault. I turned a ball over in the middle, said Johnson, a senior whose career was threatened two years ago by her second ACL knee injury. I felt like I had to make up for that. I honestly just wanted to win.The second-seeded Trojans (19-4-2) also captured the national title in 2007. They are the fourth school to win multiple College Cup titles.This group was a special group from Day 1 ... they just didnt know it yet, third-year USC coach Keidane McAlpine said.The Mountaineers (23-2-2) lost for the first time since a 1-0 setback to Georgetown on Sept. 18. West Virginia had a 17-game unbeaten streak snapped and allowed three goals for the only time all season.West Virginia outshot USC 21-8 and held a 9-1 edge in corner kicks, but trailed 1-0 just 1:22 into the game after a Morgan Andrews goal.I thought we did a great job battling back, creating opportunities, West Virginia coach Nikki Izzo-Brown said. This sport is cruel. At the end of the day we didnt finish and USC did.No one finished better than Johnson, who sat out last season while rehabilitating after ACL surgery on her right knee. She tore ligaments in her left knee in high school.Johnson, who also had the winning goal in USCs 1-0 semifinal win over Georgetown on Friday, was wide open in front of the net when Leah Pruitt took a pass up the left sideline, beat defender Easther Mayi Kith, and delivered a perfect cross. Johnson simply rolled the ball into the goal to the right of goalkeeper Rylee Foster.Johnson, selected the College Cups most outstanding offensive player, scored again off an assist from Nicole Molen in the 87th minute.Having an injury like an ACL injury is not fun, Johnson said. I knew this team was going to be special so I worked really hard to come back. I wanted to get the national championship. I knew we could do it.To have the weekend she had is more than fitting, McAlpine said. Absolutely unbelievable.The Trojans got on the board in the second minute after Julia Bingham directed a corner kick to the top of the penalty box, where Savannah Levin headed the ball forward to Andrews, whose header from 5 yards eluded Foster.West Virginias Ashley Lawrence, a member of the 2016 Canadian Olympic team, tied it at 1 in the 66th minute when she ripped a shot from the top left corner of the penalty box just inside the near post.The Mountaineers kept the pressure on goalkeeper Sammy Jo Prudhomme and the Trojans defense most of the afternoon.Sometimes the ball just doesnt go to the back of the net, Izzo-Brown said. I thought we should have had three or four (goals). Lots of credit to Sammy.The Trojans joined North Carolina (21 titles), Notre Dame (3) and Portland (3) as the only multiple winners of the College Cup.USC won its 126th national team title on the same day its mens water polo team lost 10-8 to Cal in the NCAA final just 45 miles away in Berkeley, California.West Virginia, in its first College Cup final, was hoping to claim its first NCAA title in any sport besides its co-ed rifle team, which has won 18 national titles.

Ray Ban China . Hey!" The lower tier of the School End of Queens Park Rangers Loftus Road was packed solid with a very festive-sounding Chelsea choral section in this particular part of South Africa Road London, W12. Its a familiar horror movie trope: a character thinks everything is fine, takes a deep breath, and then -- BAM! Something unspeakably terrifying takes place.That was Week 8 in a nutshell for fantasy owners.At least eight impact players were hurt, with some returning to action moments later. Now comes the horror movie sigh, and the villian-in-the-mirror-as-we-close-the-medicine-cabinet scare will probably come midweek, as injuries that seemed innocuous turn out to be more serious.EVERYONE IS INJUREDJulio Jones, Devontae Booker, Jacquizz Rodgers, T.Y. Hilton, Spencer Ware, DeSean Jackson, and Alex Smith all suffered varying degrees of injuries. And unlike years past, where wed breathe a sigh of relief if they went back into the game, it seems the unwritten rules of fantasy karma have changed in 2016.More frequently than in previous seasons, players who we assumed were fine have seen their diagnoses take drastic turns for the worse as the week progresses, moving from X-rays to MRIs to grim rumor tweets to surgery, setting off a waiver wire panic for backups. So even though Devontae Booker, for example, returned to the game against the Chargers on Sunday, we could watch his status for Week 9 deteriorate as the days go by. And that means familiarizing yourself with Kapri Bibbs.Instead of waiting for injury reports and updates, the best thing a fantasy owner can do right now is go after the backups -- in an order (for the injured starter replacement category) that is shaping up to look something like: Bibbs, Charcandrick West, Antone Smith, Jamison Crowder, Peyton Barber, Philip Dorsett, and maybe even Nick Foles.With five weeks left in the regular fantasy season, now is the time to be bold and cut loose underperformers for high-upside backups who could have a major impact in the next few weeks.YOU MUST OWN ALFRED MORRISIf this season has taught us anything, its that your starting running back is going to get hurt. Nobody is safe, including Cowboys stud running back Ezekiel Elliott. And with a top-flight offensive line blocking for him, Alfred Morris could step in for a figuratively-injured Elliott and rattle off a string of big games.Morris is currently owned in 15.5 percent of ESPN fantasy leagues. He should be owned in 100 percent as either an insurannce plan for an Elliott owner or a high-upside stash for teams that dont own Elliott.dddddddddddd.WELCOME BACK, TIM HIGHTOWER! (MAYBE)Mark Ingram fumbled at the beginning of the Saints win over the Seahawks and may have lost his job to Tim Hightower, who saw 47 snaps (to Ingrams six) and carried the ball 26 times for 102 yards. As far as we know, there was no injury to Ingram, which makes the upcoming Week 9 situation an interesting one: have the Saints run out of patience with Ingram? How do you ignore Hightowers performance (the first 100-yard rushing game from a Saints player in 2016)? And was the big game simply a product of Seattle not having star defensive players Kam Chancellor and Michael Bennett?Expect Hightower, owned in eight percent of CBSSports.com leagues, to be one of the most-added players in fantasy this week. Especially with a matchup against the 49ers on the horizon in Week 9.MISCELLANEOUS- Theo Riddick has cemented himself as a fantasy force outside of point-per-reception leagues. The pass-catching specialist, in his first game back from injury, had 11 of the teams 14 carries, for 56 yards while leading the receiving corps with eight catches for 77 yards and a touchdown.- Dorial Green-Beckham, traded from Tennessee to Philadelphia at the end of the preseason, had his best game as an Eagle, with five catches off nine targets for 55 yards. With six teams on bye again next week, Green-Beckham -- who scored a touchdown in Week 7 -- merits flex consideration.- Antone Smith is the player you want if Rodgers is unable to play on Thursday, assuming Doug Martin is still out with injury. Rodgers played for Bucs coach Dirk Koetter when he was offensive coordinator in Atalanta, as did Smith. The familiarity with the system wasnt the only reason Rodgers did well, but it certainly didnt hurt. Smith played under Koetter from 2012 to 2014.- Two impact players returning from injury who fantasy players might want to search for on their waiver wires: Browns wide receiver Corey Coleman and Patriots running back Dion Lewis.---This column was provided to The Associated Press by the Fantasy Sports Network, http://FNTSY.com ' ' '
