(STATS) -- Arkansas-Pine Bluff deservedly celebrated a victory over the two-time defending champs of the Southwestern Athletic Conferences East Division. Once the party ended, its attention turned to making sure the wins keep coming.Last Thursdays thrilling 45-43 triple-overtime victory at Alcorn State kept the Golden Lions from their second 0-3 start in four years. It might also go a long way in reviving a program that went 8-25 the past three seasons.We definitely feel very, very blessed here in Pine Bluff to have come out with that victory, coach Monte Coleman said. For us to go into hostile territory and come out with a win in three overtimes, we feel blessed.The thing that helped us the most is that the guys just kept fighting.The victory is one of the biggest in recent years for Pine Bluff (1-2, 1-0), which will try to win back to back contests for the first time since Oct. 25-Nov. 1, 2014. Thats the only thing Coleman wants on the collective mind of his team as it attempts to snap a three-game losing streak to Jackson State (0-3, 0-1) on Saturday at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock.The ability to put (the victory) behind us is going to be the biggest task, Coleman said. We cant rely on that anymore. That ones over. ... Our total focus has to be on Jackson State and our ability to transition from one to the other.Colemans young squad is far from a polished product, but sophomore quarterback Brandon Duncan enjoyed a coming-out party of sorts against Alcorn. After throwing for 322 yards without a touchdown in losses to Tennessee State and Panhandle State, Duncan totaled 505 through the air with four TDs to earn STATS FCS Offensive Player of the Week honors.I think he grew up a little in this particular ballgame, Coleman said. Each week so far he has improved a little bit. ... We want to see him progress each game. Hes doing some good things for us.That includes taking care of the ball. Duncan has yet to be intercepted in 124 pass attempts this season, and has managed to remain upright despite being sacked 16 times.Coleman also continues to be impressed with the play of another Duncan, linebacker Willie Duncan III. The senior recorded 17 tackles, 12 solos, against Alcorn.However, the Golden Lions have allowed an average of 35.7 points on the young season. After falling 37-3 at Jackson in 2015, Pine Bluff has given up an average of 37.3 over the last three meetings in this series.Jackson State, though, has yielded at least 35 points in each 2016 contest.The Tigers have been outscored 138-53, and trailed 28-0 before getting on the board late in the third quarter of Saturdays 35-14 loss to Grambling.Our kids have played hard, Jackson State coach Tony Hughes said.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- You know a sporting event starts pretty late when Cinderella is unable to attend because her chariot has already turned into a pumpkin in the parking lot.The first beach volleyball match of these Olympics for Americans Kerri Walsh Jennings and April Ross was scheduled to start Saturday night at midnight local time. Yes, a midnight start! Which meant it technically was not a Saturday night match but a Sunday morning match. Not only that, but the match that was played ahead of them went longer than expected, so the first serve was pushed back to 12:34 a.m.Walsh Jennings says it was the latest match she has ever played, which is saying something considering she turns 38 next week and these are her fourth Olympics. She says her previous latest start was probably 11 p.m. in London at the 2012 Olympics. Still, she said that she loved the start time early Sunday morning.It is a party atmosphere, she said after beating Australias Mariafe Artacho del Solar and Nikki Laird 21-14, 21-13 in a little over 30 minutes. Especially under the lights at night. The Brazilians get louder at night, and our fans were amazing tonight.Plus, Ross said, Were night owls.Thats good, because the pair has at least one other midnight match on the schedule, and could have a third as well because the gold medal match is set for a midnight start, too.Walsh Jennings is certainly a prime candidate to play in that championship match -- she and former partner Misty May Treanor won gold at Athens in 2004, Beijing in 2008 and London in 2012. And she apparently is quite comfortable with playing even later than The Late Late Show host James Cordens carpool karaoke segments are televised. It felt magical out there, she said.Well, why wouldnt it seem magical considering where beach volleyball is being played at these Olympics?Unlike other Olympic sites such as Atlanta, Beijing or London, beach volleyball here is being played on an actual beach. While the beach volleyball venue in London was played on trucked-in sand at the Horse Guards Parade grounds just outside the prime ministers residence at No. 10 Downing Street, the Rio stadium is located smack dab on Copacabana beach. Sitting up high in the stands, you not only see the players battling away on the white sands, you can see the white crests of waves crashing onto the sand just behind the stadium. And during the day, you can also see people walking and jogging on the beach, sunbathing on the sand or kite surfing.Trust mme, its a whole lot more spectacular than watching matches on imported sand amid the Beijing smog.ddddddddddddThe sounds are as invigorating as the setting. As always at beach volleyball, infectious music plays constantly over the loudspeakers. Dont Stop Believing. Uptown Funk. Cant Hold Us. Down Under. Get Happy. Beat It. La Bomba. Shut Up and Dance. Even the Darth Vader theme song played. The fans bounced and danced and swayed and waved their national flags and had the time of their lives.Parties go on late here in Rio, and were OK with that, said EJ Bituin, a fan from Chicago. As long as the beer is flowing.The venue also boasts a huge seating capacity of 12,000, with row after row rising so steeply and so high that you almost expect to see the Christ the Redeemer statue leading the fans in a samba.Its amazing. Its the best venue that weve ever seen as beach volleyballers, Laird said. And I say that as a 23-year-old, but its the same thing Ive heard from Kerri Walsh, and shes played in four Olympics now. Its a really cool venue.Brazilians are a lot more passionate about beach volleyball than Australians, which were hoping to change soon. But what it means is you can fill up a stadium with 12,000 fans here.Unfortunately, the stadium was only about half-full for the late matches, though that is probably not because of the start times as much as the high ticket prices in this financially strapped country that otherwise adores beach volleyball.Swiss player Isabelle Forrer said the stadiums steepness increased the volume of the fan noise and brought even more energy down to the players -- which they kind of needed given that they were playing so late.Its a flexible sport, Forrer said about the wide range of start times. We have seen a lot already [in our careers]. We have played late games, we have played really early games. We just try to manage our rhythm before the games and see how we manage for the next one we play at 10 a.m. Its something we cant change so we dont discuss it.Of course, with the vibrant atmosphere of the venue, the late start time wasnt an issue. They might actually be good, since the hot afternoon sun isnt baking down on the players or the fans.It didnt really feel like midnight out there, Artacho del Solar said after the match. Then she paused and added at shortly after 1:30 a.m.: But now it does. ' ' '
