MONTREAL -- The Canadian junior womens soccer team is gaining momentum at the womens under-20 World Cup. Cameron Jordan Jersey . A 1-0 victory over North Korea on Tuesday night has put Canada into the quarter-finals feeling good about itself, even if their next opponent will be the powerhouse Germans. "We were relentless," said Janine Beckie, who was camped at the far post to put in Nichelle Princes pass in the 65th minute for the games only goal. "It feels amazing. Were moving on." Canada finished second in Group A and plays the Germans, who were first in Group B, on Saturday in Edmonton. Despite the loss, North Korea finished first in their four-team group on goal differential and will play the United States on Saturday in Toronto. The Canadians needed the win to stay ahead of Ghana, which beat Finland 2-1 in Moncton, N.B. to tie the host countrys 2-1 record. But the Africans were eliminated on goals for and against. Canada, which opened with a 1-0 loss to Ghana, looked dead in the water when it fell behind 2-0 to Finland last Saturday, but Beckie scored to ignite a three-goal second half rally. Then she scored the game-winner against the toughest opponent in the group. Penetrating the tight North Korean defence had been struggle all night as the visitors, who needed only a draw to clinch first place, allowed little space anywhere near the 18-yard box. Amandine Pierre-Louis, who got an ovation from her hometown crowd when she substituted in at the 60th minute for her first action of the tournament, started the play with a run down the right side. She crossed in for Nichelle Prince, who slipped the ball behind the defence to an unguarded Beckie at the far post. "It was going through my head: Dont miss this, so I put it in and I was really excited," said Beckie. Canada is hoping to get on the kind of roll it experienced in 2002, when a team led by Christine Sinclair made it to the final and drew a massive crowd at Edmontons Commonwealth Stadium at what was then the world U-19 championship. Germany, which crushed Brazil 5-1 just ahead of the Canada-North Korea game, will be a formidable opponent. The Germans scored 12 goals in their three group stage games. "I dont think we could be more ready," said Beckie. "Its just another team for us. "Its a great opponent. Im excited to play them, personally, but I think where were at now will keep propelling us through." A scoreless first half saw North Korea control most of the play in the first 30 minutes, but there were good chances at both ends. Only 10 minutes in, Kim Mi Gyong shot over the bar from close range, but Kailen Sheridans best save was in the 17th when after a clever buildup, Ri Kyong Hyong got in alone on the left side and blasted the ball from point blank range. Coach Andrew Olivieris side picked up the pace near the end of the half and nearly cashed in on an Emma Fletcher cross into the box. Then Ashley Lawrence placed a near-perfect high ball to the front of the net, but Beckies header was kept out by a diving save from goalkeeper Kim Chol Ok. Olivieri said the match may have been less exciting for the 13,031 fans scattered about the 55,000-seat stadium than he hoped, but said the North Korean side did what they could to slow down the play and make it a low-scoring game. But the fans that showed up were noisy and the players could feel the support from the seats. "They were crazy, it was insane," said Prince. "Especially with this huge stadium. "It was an honour to be able to play in it. The crowd was amazing." Prince said a win over a favourite like North Korea has morale high going into the quarter-finals. "It means a lot," she said. "Coming into this tournament, we wanted to inspire little girls and inspire Canada, and I think were on our route to doing that. "We still have a lot of work to do in this tournament. Were half way there. Were ready for whats to come." Centreback Kadeisha Buchanan was named player of the match. North Korea coach Hwang Yong Bong said that since his team was all-but guaranteed to advance, he wanted them to conserve energy for the next match. He had scoring star Ri Un Sim start on the bench because she had an injury in her last game. She went in two minutes into the second half. Morten Andersen Womens Jersey . The assistants greeted Aldridge with compliments and high fives. Stotts had only one word for his high-scoring forward: "Thanks." Aldridge had 25 points and 16 rebounds in his return after missing seven games with a lower back contusion, and the Trail Blazers beat the Atlanta Hawks 100-85 on Thursday night to end a three-game losing streak. David Hawthorne Saints Jersey .C. -- Al Jefferson thinks hes finally figured out the NBA game.(Sports Network) - The Detroit Tigers called upon Doug Fister to extend their season in the American League Division Series. They may now need him to save it, as the American League Championship Series against the Texas Rangers shifts to Comerica Park for Game 3. After giving up six runs in 4 2/3 frames and getting the loss in the suspended Game 1 ALDS affair, Fister redeemed himself with a terrific showing in Thursdays Game 5, as he held the potent New York Yankees lineup to just a run and five hits in five innings to help the Tigers nail down a series win. "Itll be nice pitching in front of our fans back home," Fister said. "We have a great atmosphere back there. After seeing our fan base, especially in the playoffs, its an incredible feeling to stand up and look in the crowd and see everybody waving their white towels and being up, screaming on their feet. Im looking forward to pitching in that atmosphere." Fister was huge down the stretch for the AL Central champion Tigers, as he went 8-1 with a 1.79 ERA in 11 games (10 starts) after being picked up from Seattle. "Obviously, when we made the trade, he was kind of under the radar," Detroit manager Jim Leyland said. "We knew we were getting a good pitcher. Id be lying if I said we thought he would be this good." Fister split his two starts with the Rangers this season and pitched to a 3.68 ERA. He beat them the last time he faced them and is 2-3 with a 4.38 ERA in six starts against them. The Tigers were dealt a heartbreaking loss in Mondays Game 2, as Nelson Cruz belted the first walkoff grand slam in postseason history in the bottom of the 11th to give Texas a 7-3 win. Cruz, whose solo homer in Game 1 was the difference in a 3-2 win, sent Ryan Perrys 1-2 slider into the left field seats and celebrated the blast in a mob at home plate with his teammates. "It was amazing," said Cruz, who also ripped a game-tying solo homer in the seventh inning and was hit on the riight arm by a pitch in the ninth. Cameron Jordan Saints Jersey. . Cruzs homer in the seventh inning chased Tigers starter Max Scherzer from the game. Perry (0-1) was the fifth pitcher used by a Detroit team now tasked with trying to climb out of an 0-2 hole without injured outfielder Magglio Ordonez. "Obviously, its a horrible feeling," Perry said. "You feel like you let down your whole team." Mike Adams (1-0) worked around a single in the 11th to earn the win. Ryan Raburns three-run homer in the third inning gave the Tigers the lead, but the AL Central champs didnt cross the plate again. "Its been a great two games," said Leyland. "It didnt go the right way, obviously. They earned it, and we didnt quite get it done. "We havent been able to come up with any big hits. Thats really hard. Weve had some opportunities, but up to this point, we just havent been able to do that." Now Detroit will try to get untracked against righty Colby Lewis, a pitcher who has yet to lose in the playoffs in his career. Lewis postseason prowess continued in his Game 3 ALDS start versus the Tampa Bay Rays last Monday, as he allowed just one hit - a solo home run - over six innings to nail down the win. The victory upped his postseason mark to 4-0 to go along with a 1.67 ERA in five starts. "You know, for me, I think its just October, its either win or go home," Lewis said after his ALDS win. Detroit, though, roughed Lewis up in two starts this season, reaching him for 13 earned runs in 7 1/3 innings. For his career Lewis is 2-2 with a 7.48 ERA in six games, five of which have been starts. "You dont really worry about anything in the past," he said. "Once its over, its done with, you just walk in the dugout and forget about it and move forward and prepare yourself for the next day." These teams have never met in the playoffs, but the Tigers won six of their nine regular season matchups against the Rangers. cheap nfl jerseys \' \' \'
