LONG BEACH >> Playing on U.S. soil is something the women’s national volleyball team doesn’t get to do very often.
So, with the chance to play in front of a home crowd, the top-ranked team did not disappoint in Long Beach State’s Walter Pyramid on Sunday, sweeping No. 10 Turkey 25-21, 25-20 and 25-16 to go 3-0 in Pool E of the FIVB World Grand Prix.
“This has been pretty emotional, especially (Saturday when) it was sold out,” Rachael Adams said. “We don’t get to play in the USA often in big touaments like these, so I know each and every one of us during different moments took a step to appreciate what was going on.”
U.S. got off to a slow start against Turkey, trading leads until eventually pulling away.
“All three of these teams came out playing their best volleyball,” Kayla Banwarth said. “We had to make some adjustments mid-game. As a team, we’re pretty good at making changes mid-match. That helps us to ramp it up and keeping ramping it up and tuing it on.”
The USA did just that in the third set, jumping out to a 22-12 lead before eventually beating Turkey, 25-16, after Adams finished the game with two dominating points.
Kelsey Robinson and Nicole Fawcett combined for 24 kills and Adams led the team with five blocks.
“Right now I’m trying to take it one day at a time and one step at a time,” Adams said about thinking about the road ahead of the team heading to China and preparing for the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
Banwarth said that all these matches are all preparation for the competition the team will face in Rio for the 2016 Olympic Summer Games.
“We get to play against the best teams in the world and that’s always good,” Banwarth said.
On Monday, the team will travel to Hong Kong, China as they continue their jouey toward the WGP Finals that will be in Bangkok, China.
The team will continue to take it one day at a time as they prepare physically and mentally for the road ahead.
“We work with our sports doctor post-match about kind of debriefing individually and collectively,” Christa Dietzen said. “We write down three things we did well and three things you’d like to work on and get better, so being able to focus on those six things versus over however many points you got in a match or practice. You can only control of your approach and what you need to work on.”

The Long Beach State men’s basketball program spent the weekend mouing and remembering former assistant coach Vic Couch who passed away on Friday at the age of 53 after a long battle with illness.
Head coach Dan Monson, who had Couch on his staff for 14 years, was remembering his friend and colleague by telling trading stories about Couch with his family.
“They were stories about (Couch) joking around,” Monson said. “He was so funny. Not jokes out of a book, but just the way he looked at life was funny.”
Monson remembers one road trip where a player asked if the team could stop at the fast food restaurant Wendy’s for dinner. Couch said, “When you when-deez games.”
Former LBSU player Greg Plater was one of many 49er alumni to express their feelings on social media.
“Couch was a one of a kind spirit,” Plater said. “He had a special energy about him that made you feel comfortable to be yourself. He was one of the funniest people I have ever met who could make light out of any situation with a huge smile and infectious laugh.”
Couch’s memorial is Monday June 27 (9 a.m.) Forest Lawn Memorial.
Over the weekend, Long Beach State Dirtbag sophomore Darren McCaughan was named second team All-American by the American Baseball Coaches Association, and shortstop Garrett Hampson made the ABCA/Rawlings Gold Glove Team, becoming the first Dirtbags player to receive the honor.
McCaughan is the first Dirtbags player to me named ABCA All-American since Evan Longoria was a third-team selection in 2006. McCaughan was also the 2016 Big West Pitcher of the Year after going 10-1 with a 2.03 ERA in his first full season as a starter.
Hampson made just three errors in the regular season, finishing the year with a .982 fielding percentage. LBSU ranked 19th in the country with a .977 fielding percentage this season.
Earlier this month, Hampson was drafted by the Colorado Rockies with the 81st pick in the MLB Draft. He officially signed last week and was assigned to the Class A Short Season Boise Hawks.

OAKLAND >> One game, one trophy. Nothing for the loser. It’s that cut and dry.
Except it really isn’t.
It’s not like this in sports. Not in the NBA. And, certainly, not in Game 7 of the Finals Sunday evening at Oracle Arena.
Someone will win the title, either LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers or Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors, and for the players on the court, that’s the lone goal.
“We’ve got one game,” Golden State forward Draymond Green said. “This is what you live for. I mean, Game 7 in the NBA Finals? That doesn’t happen often.”
But for the people on barstools, the people dialing into sports talk radio stations, the people getting into the chair at Charles Blades Barber Spa in Oakland or Urban Kutz Barbershop in Cleveland, it’s about so much more.
While the players are trying to win a trophy, the result of Sunday’s game will help so many more people win their arguments. Maybe no game in NBA history has carried this kind of weight.
Waverly “Big Wave” Willis, the owner of Urban Kutz, says the chatter in his shop has been going “all the time” since the beginning of the Finals.
“The stakes are just so high,” he said in a phone interview.
It’s all anyone is talking about in Cleveland or across the country in Oakland.
As Blades closed up shop Saturday in Warehouse District, every “Happy Father’s Day” was spiced up with well wishes for “the game.”
Even the participants in what’s essentially the NBA’s Super Bowl haven’t been able to duck all the talk about “legacy” and “greatness.”
“It’s all about winning the game,” Curry said Saturday. “I mean, we’ll worry about what either result means afterwards.”
But whatever the result “means” is what’s making this game so important, maybe the most important in league history.
It’s not capping some epic series with overtime games. It’s capping a series built for fan and media and opinions, one where people on both sides of the aisle have cried “rigged.”
Somehow without a single last-second shot, with more blowouts than last-minute closeouts, the Cavaliers and the Warriors have crafted a compelling series full of drama – the conclusion coming Sunday.
And when the buzzer sounds, the arguing, really can start.

If Golden State can survive the Cavaliers push, they’ll have won back-to-back titles – just the 12th team to have done that. If Golden State can end their season with a victory, they’ll have won a NBA record 89 games in the regular and postseasons. No team ever has accomplished that.
They aren’t the dynasty of the 60’s Celtics, the 80’s Lakers or the 90’s Bulls, but facts are facts.
No team has ever won as much as the Warriors will have, and they’ll have gone through Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant and LeBron James over 14 grueling games to get there.
And if they don’t?
“We broke the record but that don’t mean (expletive) if we don’t win it,” one of Blades’ customers put bluntly, an opinion Curry and Klay Thompson share.
“Yeah, pretty much because that was our goal from the beginning,” Curry said. “We’re here on Game 7 with a chance to do it. We’ve had two chances already and haven’t gotten it done. 48 minutes to do it. So if we come up short, we’ll all be very, very disappointed.
“No two ways around that.”
The walls of Charles Blades’ shop in Oakland have a poster of John Coltrane, a statue of Michael Jordan and a comic book with Muhammad Ali on the cover. That makes Blades an expert, or at least an aficionado, of greatness.
“I love this conversation,” Blades said.
While no one in the chairs or behind them was willing to go that far Saturday, they acknowledged the conversation is a worthy one.
If James can pull this off, he’ll surely be the Finals M.V.P. – an award he might even win if his team loses. He’ll have hunted the biggest game in NBA history, a 73-win team, and caught them. Sure, he’s had help with Kyrie Irving’s star-making tu in the playoffs, but otherwise, the supporting cast hasn’t done that much supporting with a couple of exceptions.
If James can finish this performance with an exclamation point, he’s still trailing Michael Jordan – but it won’t be by much.
He’s averaging 30.2 points, 11.3 rebounds, 8.5 assists, 2.7 steals and 2.2 blocks against a great defensive team that’s just won 73 games.
No one ever can say they’ve done that.
“LeBron is just LeBron being LeBron,” Tyronn Lue said, offering what’s actually incredible high praise. “We know he’s very capable of being special every single night.
“He’s been special for us.”
The question to Curry was simple enough on Saturday.
“Do you have to be great in this game?”
“I need to play my best game of the year if not my career because of what the stakes are,” Curry said without hinting that the task seemed too tall. “So that doesn’t mean scoring 50 points, though. That means controlling the tempo of the game. When I need to be aggressive, well, I need to be aggressive. But when I need to push the envelope, do it, but do it under control, do it within the schemes that we’re used to as a team. Focus on details on both ends of the floor.
“All those things go into having a great game, and I need to do that.”
Curry’s done those things for most of the year. He was the NBA’s first ever unanimous MVP after doing those things while his team won 73 games.
And he was probably going to keep doing those things in the playoffs if not for a knee sprain that’s certainly limited him since the first round.
While he’s not been as dominant as he was during the regular season, he’s still capable of a huge game, one he knows his team needs.
“Four out of the six games, I’ve played pretty well to my expectations, my standards,” Curry said. “So I need to take it up another notch for Game 7.
“And that’s what the greats do.”
Officially, Cleveland won a title in 1964 when the Browns won the “NFL Championship Game” two years prior to the invention of the Super Bowl.
So, it’s been awhile.
“A while?” Willis asked rhetorically with a laugh. “Try never.”
When it’s been as long as it has been for the major sports teams in Cleveland, a year or two?
It’s part of the reason why James decided to sign back with the Cavaliers two years ago. Still, on the eve of Game 7, James didn’t delve into the connection between him and his hometown.
“We’ve put ourselves in a position to do something special. You guys ask me the questions, but you guys know the answers to them,” he said. “I mean, if we win and we take care of business, that’s something that our city hasn’t had in a very long time. So that’s the obvious. You don’t need me to sit up here and talk about it…
“I came back for a reason, and that is to bring a championship to the city of Cleveland, to northeast Ohio and all of Ohio and all Cavaliers fans in the world. That’s been one of my goals. But I don’t add too much pressure on it. I go out and trust what I’ve been able to do, the work I’ve put into it, my teammates have put into it. And you go out there and see what happens.”
The Cleveland sports drought is littered with athletic tragedies, goal-line fumbles, late-inning blowups and even James’ own defection to Miami.
Now one man – an Ohio native nonetheless – can help put all that to an end.
This is the game that could make James the most beloved athlete in a city that claims Jim Brown.
If he wins, all is forgiven.
And then some.
No team in NBA history has ever come back from being down 3-1 in the Finals, and the Cavaliers are on the doorstep of making history. And, conversely, no team has ever given up a 3-1 lead in the Finals, and the Warriors are in position to do that.
“This series has been an emotional rollercoaster,” Willis said.
With so much at stake, how can it not?
When it ends, one team will be NBA champions. The season will be over. History will have been written.
“If you don’t feel pressure in a Game 7, you’re probably not human,” Golden State coach Steve Kerr said. “I told our guys that. Of course they’re going to feel pressure. Of course there’s going to be some anxiety.
“But how lucky are we to feel that pressure?”

CYPRESS >> This afteoon, back home at the fairgrounds track his dad so loved, Monty Arrossa will attempt to defend the championship his horse won last year in the very race named after his late father.
And he’ll do so — in a sport where titles are frequently decided by nothing longer than a horse’s nose — nearly 800 miles away, at Los Alamitos Race Course, roughly a 12-hour drive from Jerome, Idaho.
“Dad would have wanted me to be here,” Arrossa says. “This would have been huge in my dad’s book. He would have loved this.”
Pete Arrossa died in March of 2015. For Father’s Day 2016, Monty is giving his dad the most precious of ties — two races of supreme significance, running neck-and-neck and finishing in a dead heat of remembrance and tribute.
A few hours after the conclusion of the Pete Arrossa Memorial, Monty will saddle Fire Fast Corona here in the Ed Burke Million Futurity, this son vying for the exact sort of crown his father always assured him he could win.
But that’s what our dads are for, right, to give us, as sons, a reason to dream and every reason to believe in those dreams? Even after he’s gone? In fact, especially after he’s gone?
“My dad was the push behind me,” says Arrossa, a lifelong horseman who has been training full-time for three years. “He always told me, ‘You can do it. If you go down there (to Los Alamitos) and work hard, you can make this happen.’ He was the one who drove me.”
So, while Arrossa’s mother, Lisa, and sister, Jamie, represent the family today in Jerome, Pete’s son will be trying to fulfill his father’s remarkably optimistic forecast in the largest race of his career.
To understand how big of an opportunity the Ed Burke is for Arrossa, consider that his richest victory yet came in a $300,000 race in Iowa. The Ed Burke has a purse of $1.1 million.
“We’ve joked that, back home, $100,000 is a huge futurity,” Arrossa says. “The fact this is $1 million more than that is just incredible.”
Yeah, this is a big deal, a really big deal for a guy from Shoshone, Idaho, a guy whose high school had 99 students — and that’s including seventh and eighth grades — and whose graduating class numbered 19.
Back then, all Arrossa wanted to do was train horses, while his parents preached the importance of pursuing an education.
It was in junior high that Arrossa’s father made him decide between playing basketball and working with horses because of the time commitment both required.
Advertisement
“When you’re that age, that’s a horrible choice to have to make,” Arrossa says. “I chose horses, of course. Looking back, that was the best choice. It was really a no-brainer. That was my passion.”
Raised on a small horse farm – that’s a small farm with horses, not a farm with small horses – Arrossa leaed to rope and rodeo. He followed his father’s path into chariot racing, training and driving the two-horsed buggies to world championships in 2000 and 2001.
Along the way, he eaed a degree in education and a master’s in human resource training from Idaho State, eventually working for the labor department and in private business.
Arrossa never wavered, however, in his desire to be around horses, even when that proximity reached its most extreme moment.
About 10 years ago, while preparing for a race, Arrossa made the mistake of reaching for a horse’s tail that was about to become entangled.
The colt reacted in a way that suggested he had been spooked, by which I mean the kick cost Arrossa 13 of his teeth and his entire consciousness.
He remembers the surgeon holding his left hand and telling him: “I’m going to put you back together. It’s going to be OK.”
For a while, all of Arrossa’s meals had to first pass through a blender. He lost 40 pounds. The scar on his chin is still visible.
When he was released from the hospital, the first place he visited was his ba. Just three weeks after the accident, Arrossa was driving chariots again.
“This is definitely my passion,” he says, unnecessarily. “Whatever you do, you’re in the people business. I love horse people. And I love horses. In the darkest times of my life, I’ve always been able to tu to horses. They’re always happy to see me in the moing.”
That’s why he’s willing to wake up every day at 3 a.m., day after day after day, for so long now that Arrossa can’t remember a day when he slept past that time.
He remains as driven as he was back when he was 18 and guiding his first horse ever to a stakes victory.
Arrossa now has 10 horses at Los Alamitos and another 34 back in Jerome, where his operation is based.
Today, the focus will be on Fire Fast Corona and Time For Jesse Lee, the colt trying to repeat in the Pete Arrossa Memorial.
“Dad loved the races at Jerome,” Arrossa says. “It’s my hometown. Part of my heart will definitely be there.”
Meanwhile, the rest of Monty Arrossa will be here, right where his father always told him he could be.

LOS ANGELES >> It was the Dodgers’ bullpen that needed some relief.
The group began Saturday having thrown five innings in each of the last two games. Plus, spanning the last seven days, it was used for a total of 25 2/3 innings, a workload that was the fourth largest in the National League.
So it did not help that Mike Bolsinger was pulled from his start in the third inning after allowing nine hits and five runs. The Dodgers’ relief pitchers were on the hook for six-plus innings.
Yet the Dodgers eaed their second straight win, 10-6, vs. Milwaukee. They compiled 14 hits and three home runs.
Chris Hatcher replaced Bolsinger. Manager Dave Roberts hoped to avoid using Hatcher in the first place after he threw two innings two nights earlier.
Hatcher threw 2 1/3 scoreless innings and even got his first career hit in the bottom of the third inning during a six-run rally, the most runs the Dodgers had scored in an inning this season.
Through the first three innings that lasted 99 minutes, the Dodgers and Brewers had combined for 13 runs and 18 hits.
Justin Tuer began the scoring during the six-run barrage when he pounded an 82 mph changeup by Chase Anderson into the left field bleachers. The 398-foot shot marked Tuer’s third home run in two games, pushing his slugging percentage over .400 for the first time since the first week of the season.
Anderson, the Brewers’ starter, was pulled three batters later when he walked Howie Kendrick.
Joc Pederson had two hits in the inning.
In total, the Dodgers had six hits, two of them for extra bases, including Tuer’s homer and a two-run double by Yasmani Grandal.
Kendrick had an opposite-field home run in the second for his first extra-base hit at Dodger Stadium this season.
Milwaukee got on the scoreboard early.
To begin the second inning, the Brewers saw five of their first six batters reach base by way of singles, adding two runs. At one point, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts and assistant athletic trainer Neil Rampe came out for a mound visit. But Bolsinger stayed in the game. It was unclear what might have been ailing him.
Another two-run inning followed in the third after Ramon Flores’ two-run single. Bolsinger was done. He gave up five runs and nine hits over 2 2/3 innings. Since he replaced Alex Wood on the rotation in mid-May, the right-hander has a 6.83 ERA in six starts.
Bolsinger has pitched five or fewer innings in four of his six starts and has yet to pitch past the sixth.

Drew Moor scored on a diving header in the 79th minute in Toronto FC’s 1-0 victory over Los Angeles on Saturday night, the Reds’ first win in 11 tries against the Galaxy.
On a night that began with Moor cradling his newbo baby boy, clad in a No. 3 “Moor” sleeper, during the national anthems, the Toronto defender scored his 24th career goal. Benoit Cheyrou sent in a long ball that Eriq Zavaleta headed backward toward the net, placing it perfectly for Moor to launch past goalkeeper Brian Rowe. It was Moor’s 24th career goal.
Toronto (5-5-4) had been winless in its previous 10 games against Los Angeles, a stretch that included five Galaxy victories and five draws. The game marked the first victory for Toronto over the Califoia side at BMO Field since 2008, and the first meeting of the two teams at the stadium on Lake Ontario since March 2013.
The Galaxy (5-3-6) are winless in five games.
Both teams were missing star players. Toronto was without captain Michael Bradley, who is with the U.S. team in Copa America, and striker Jozy Altidore (hamstring injury), while the Galaxy’s Robbie Keane is playing for Ireland at the European Championship and former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard didn’t make the trip because of a hamstring injury.

LONG BEACH >> Long Beach State’s Walter Pyramid is a few thousand miles away from Rio and it’s still more than a month until Brazil will host the 2016 Olympic Summer Games, but Saturday night’s match between the USA and Japan women’s volleyball teams had the feel of an Olympic medal match. Before a roaring capacity crowd, the No. 1 USA team elevated its game for an impressive sweep of No. 5 Japan, 25-16, 25-23, 25-21.
The USA improved to 2-0 in the FIVB World Grand Prix; Pool E of the WGP is taking place this weekend in the Pyramid.
“We love playing Japan, they’re a legendary program,” said head USA coach Karch Kiraly. “They fight with such heart, they never give up. And so we know we always have to be ready to play them.”
The USA beat Germany in four sets to open WGP play on Friday, but Kiraly wasn’t pleased with his team’s performance, pointing to the fact that he didn’t put his players in a hotel for their usual touament routine.
“We had players coming from their apartments after sleeping in their own beds,” he said. “You’re always going to get a better rest in your own bed, but with that comes a responsibility to prepare and be ready.”
Saturday, in front of a loud and rowdy crowd, the Americans looked much sharper. The USA led wire-to-wire in the first frame, going up 16-4 and taking the set somewhat anticlimactically on a video review of a block touch by Japan. In the second set, the teams traded the lead and Japan looked to even it up after taking a 23-22 lead. But the USA got kills from Kimberly Hill and a big spike from middle blocker Foluke Akinradewo to close it out. Once again in the third, the teams were tied at 21 before the USA pulled away with kills from Kelly Murphy and Jordan Larson to take the match and remain undefeated.
Akinradewo had 12 kills to lead the USA, backed up by 11 from Hill. Miyu Nagaoka led Japan with 16 kills. The USA outblocked Japan 9-2.
Kiraly said the crowd was a nice treat for his team, as well as helpful in preparing for the volleyball-crazy Brazilian culture.
“We’ve never hosted an FIVB touament in Southe Califoia,” he said. “It’s great, a lot of our players have friends and family here, and this crowd was something special.”
The USA will wrap up Pool E play with a 5:10 p.m. match against Turkey today back in the Pyramid. It’s then a quick tuaround with a Monday moing flight to China for Pool H, along with Germany, the Netherlands, and the host Chinese. Should the USA advance to the World Grand Prix championships, they’ll be held July 6-10 in Thailand.

OAKMONT, Pa. >> Shane Lowry kept his calm when he had a careless penalty stroke and walked off Oakmont after a long day with a two-shot lead in the U.S. Open.
Stalled by rain in the first round, the U.S. Open is nearly back on schedule and poised for a big finish.
Lowry, looking to give Irish golf a 10th major in the last 10 years, was at 5-under par with four holes to play in the third round when it was too dark to continue.
Andrew Landry, the 28-year-old qualifier in his first U.S. Open, was two shots behind.
Dustin Johnson had the 36-hole lead and opened with a birdie to start the third round. He began dropping shots and was three behind, along with Lee Westwood and Sergio Garcia.
And still very much — and very suddenly — in the mix was Jason Day, who shot 69-66 on Saturday and was at 1-over 211.

Lionel Messi scored and added two assists in his first Copa America start this year to lead Argentina over Venezuela 4-1 on Saturday night in Foxborough, Mass., and into a semifinal against the host United States.
Messi’s goal in the 60th minute gave Argentina a 3-0 lead and was his 54th in inteational play, tying the national record set by Gabriel Batistuta, according to Argentina’s goveing body. The Barcelona star also took over the Copa America scoring lead with his fourth goal of the touament.
Argentina now has two days to rest before playing the U.S. in Houston on Tuesday night. The Americans have been off since beating Ecuador on Thursday.
With many in the Gillette Stadium wearing No. 10 from Messi’s national team and La Liga jerseys, the five-time FIFA Player of the Year started the game after playing a total of just 74 minutes in the three group stage matches. Just eight minutes in, he connected with Gonzalo Higuain on a long entry pass to make it 1-0.
Messi gathered it in from the sideline and lofted a long pass to Higuain, who split two defenders took the ball on a short hop and booted it in. Higuain scored again in the 28th to make it 2-0, picking up an errant backpass by Venezuela midfielder Arquimedes Figuera and sidestepping goalkeeper Dani Heandez before left-footing it into the net.
In the 42nd minute, Argentina goalkeeper Sergio Romero took out Josef Martinez’s legs with a headfirst dive. But on the resulting penalty kick, Luis Sejas tried to scooch it straight up the middle and Romero took a small stutter step to his left before catching it.
Messi made it 3-0 when he took a pass from Nicolas Gaitan just outside the 6-yard box.
Venezuela finally beat Romero in the 70th minute when Salomon Rondon headed the ball in, nicking the post on the way. But Messi assisted again on Erik Lamela’s goal a minute later to make it 4-1.
Argentina is 6-2-2 against the U.S., with the teams playing to a 1-1 draw in a 2011 friendly in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The last American win was in a 1999 exhibition in Washington, D.C.
Bautista also scored twice in an exhibition against Slovakia in 1995 that is included in FIFA’s records but not the national federation’s.
