...play. “Right before the faceoff, I had actually told [junior defenseman] Alex [Biega] to just wrist one into me, it didn’t even have to be hard,” Coskren said. “He shot it, a low shot, right to my forehand, and I had my stick about a foot off the ice, and it was an easy shot to tip, and it just bounced in.” With the momentum of two unanswered goals behind it, the Crimson offense surged forward, firing shot after shot at the Golden Knights?...
...play more than we do.” As for singles, Clayton lost 6-4, 6-0 Thursday in his first round singles match against Wake Forest’s Cory Parr. Clayton never truly hit his stride in his opening match, unable to unleash his big serve and forehand. “Sometimes things don’t go your way or your game’s not on,” Clayton said. “It was one of those weekends.” A day later, he ended up facing the No. 2 seed...

...When she first emerged on the circuit, Henin was seen as an anomaly, too petite to survive against the Amazonian might of the new power generation, epitomized by the Williams sisters. But though small, Henin worked exceptionally hard on strengthening her body, and her forehand and serve. She also had an extraordinary one-handed backhand that earned her the swooning admiration of legends like John McEnroe. A thoughtful player, she performed best on clay, a slower surface more suited to her guile. What she lacked in height and natural power, she made up for with speed and accuracy...
