The two teams went to extra points in the first set as Alabama came back to take the lead in the late stages of the frame before winning a comparatively decisive second set, 25-19. A late push by the Gamecocks in set three added some drama in the final points but Alabama ultimately persevered to win 25-22.Krystal Rivers led all players with 19 kills, her second-highest total in a three-set match this season, which puts her just seven shy of tying the Alabama career kills record with two matches remaining in the regular season.

Shannon Mikesky and Alexa Tomlak split setting duties, earning 18 and 12, respectively, while Abolanle Onipede went error-free with a .385 hitting percentage, her second-highest total in SEC play.The Gamecocks scored the first two points of the opening set and maintained a relatively slim lead until scoring three-straight points to slightly extend its lead to 14-10. South Carolina led by five at Alabamas first timeout, 16-11, but a late 3-1 run by the Tide cut the deficit to three points, 21-18, as South Carolina was forced to take a timeout following a block on the right side by Leah Lawrence and Rivers. Alabama continued to fight back and eventually tie the set at 23-23 on a kill up the middle by Hayley McSparin as South Carolina burned its final timeout. A Gamecock block on the next point gave the home team set point, 24-23, and the Tide took its final timeout before a USC attack error tied it back at 24-24. Alabama staved off two more set points by South Carolina before pulling ahead 27-26 on a Gamecock attack error and finishing off the lengthy set victory with a kill by Brittany Thomas, winning 28-26.Set two was tightly contested with seven tie scores early on until South Carolina gained a slim 11-9 lead. Alabama responded with four-straight points, including a pair of aces by Rivers, to lead 13-11 and force the Gamecocks to take its first timeout. Leading by two later, 17-15, a kill by Lawrence made it a three-point game as South Carolina took its second timeout.

LOUIS -- Rookie Tavon Austin has missed another day of practice, lessening the odds hell be ready for the St. SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium -- The smile is back on Daniel Ricciardos face.After a tough start to the Formula One season, which saw him struggle for form, watch a teenager upstaging him and then berate his own team, the Australian driver has now secured three straight podium finishes.His second place at the Belgian Grand Prix on Sunday was full of the composure that the 27-year-old Australian showed in his first season with Red Bull in 2014, when he won three races, finished on the podium five more times and outperformed four-time champion Sebastian Vettel.That raised expectations, but 2015 was disappointing with just two podiums, and this season started in a similarly frustrating fashion.Four races into the season, as his team made a sudden switch by replacing Daniil Kvyat with Max Verstappen, he looked on as the 18-year-old Verstappen drove to a splendid win at the Spanish GP in May.Ricciardo, who was fourth in Spain, felt that team orders worked against him in that race, and again at the ensuing Monaco GP in late May.Red Bull team principal Christian Horner apologized to him after a calamitous pit stop cost him a near-certain victory.By this point, Riccirados grin turned into a surly growl.Two races in a row Ive been screwed, said an irate Riccciardo, who started that race from pole position and had been electrifyingly quick in practice.dddddddddddd They should have been ready. It hurts.He was in a much better mood on Sunday, after a composed drive saw him hold off Lewis Hamilton, who was third.It was cool, said Ricciardo, who now has 14 career podiums. To keep Lewis behind was great.Ricciardos trademark broad grin was stretching across his face as he engaged in some podium antics with countryman Mark Webber, a former F1 driver with Red Bull who won nine races in his career.Webber was interviewing the top three after Sundays race when Ricciardo, known for his zany humor, took off one of his racing shoes and asked Webber to drink some Champagne out of it.Webber refused, then changed his mind as Ricciardo broke out into raucous laughter watching him sipping the bubbly out of his shoe.I think we just made our country even prouder, he said to Webber, while race winner Nico Rosberg and Hamilton looked on.Ricciardo is third in the F1 standings behind the Mercedes pair.Next up is the Italian GP in Monza, a circuit which traditionally is more difficult for Red Bull.
