GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Auburn matched its best offensive performance in the NCAA Tournament in program history when it took down UConn 4-1 in the second round of the postseason tournament. The Tigers (16-6-0) advanced to the Sweet 16 for the second consecutive season with the win.Im really proud of my teams performance today, said head coach Karen Hoppa. UConn is a tremendous team and had an unbelievable season. They have two of the best goal scorers in the country. I thought they gave us all we could handle.I thought our defense was tremendous. We started slow and UConn scored a great goal. I thought the difference for us in the game was Kristens goal. We started out flat, we gave up the goal and with Kristen getting that goal back within four minutes I thought that gave our team the confidence to persevere. Were really excited that we live to play another day.Kristen Dodson, Bri Folds, Gianna Montini and Brooke Ramsier took care of the scoring in the afternoon triumph. Casie Ramsier netted a career-best three assists, while Dodson contributed two.Karli Gutsche and Brooke Ramsier also tallied an assist in the 90-minute contest.UConn (19-3-1) scored the matchs opening goal before a minute had even gone by to take the early 1-0 lead.Things then began to click for Auburn. Dodson took a lofted pass from Casie Ramsier and Gutsche before slotting it to the near post for the equalizer in the fifth minute.I just saw an opportunity, stated Dodson. [The goalie] was covering the far post a little bit more than the near post, so I thought I had a chance to slide it by her and I did. I just thought we needed some momentum, so getting that goal right away after they scored just helped us get to where we needed to be.After just entering the match for a few moments in the 39th minute, Montini then put the Tigers in front with her first career goal when she fired a header into the back of the net off a corner.Less than two minutes later, Brooke Ramsier doubled Auburns advantage. The Dallas, Texas native put her laces through a shot from the top of the box and found the top corner of the left post that rocked the frame.The Tigers led 3-1 at that point and maintained the margin heading into the intermission.The Huskies came out with a sense of urgency in the second half, putting a pair of shots on target. However, goalkeeper Sarah Le Beau was able to keep UConn off the board and even made a full-extension save from close range.Folds then added to the goal barrage by netting the fourth of her career in the 71st minute. The freshman took a feed from Casie Ramsier and Dodson and smashed a shot by the keeper from the top of the box.The Tigers held on in the final 20 minutes and advanced to their second NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 in program history.I thought everyone who came on really gave it their all, said Montini. No matter if youre on the bench or on the field, everyones fighting for each other that way. Thats what this team is all about. I couldnt be more proud of everyone.After totaling four points on the day, Dodson set the Auburn single-season program record for points with 36.

But were in no immediate rush and no panic to do it.Well look at it carefully. We might stay where we are but we might also come up with a few tweaks. Almost the biggest task at hand at the moment is not to get too panicked about not having the trophy on this side of the Atlantic at the moment.Theres so many aspects but at this moment in time Im just trying to gather all the information to set out a plan going forward.I will go forward with what our players want and what were all about as a team. But then I also have my own thinking and concerns about what I can bring to it, and will give it my own twist.Weve been very successful in the past, and lets not go away from that. Weve won eight out of the last 11, its not like we have a system thats faulty and we always play against a very strong team.Bjorn also insists he does not need to change his forthright persoonality to lead Europe to Ryder Cup glory two years time.dddddddddddd.The ever-candid Bjorn hit out at then-captain Ian Woosnam in 2006 when overlooked for a wild-card, and the Welshman nearly quit his role over the criticism.Woosnam has immediately backed Bjorns leadership this week, however -- and Bjorn insists his captaincy will be based entirely on truth and honesty.I think if youre going to lead something you want the truth, you want people to be honest with you, Bjorn said.Ive never been one for liking having things around me where people are trying to just say yes to me. I want them to tell me the truth.I think if youre going to be forthright yourself, then you want the same from everyone else. Thats the way I believe in things, and thats what I expect for all the people I have around me.Fiery Dane Bjorn branded Woosnam the most pathetic captain Ive ever seen, barmy, and not burdened with too many leadership qualities when overlooked for the 2006 team.Woosnam met Bjorns appointment as Ryder Cup captain this week by throwing his full weight of support behind the 15-time European Tour winner. And Bjorn believes that underscores the value that a frank and open approach can add to his captaincy role.Its fantastic to have his support, said Bjorn of Woosnam. Im grateful for all the past captains and the support Ive had from them, and its nice for Ian to come out and be so supportive.But sportspeople have a way of probably putting things to bed a lot sooner than other people do.Its a long time ago, so we go forward and we understand that this is about Europe, and the European team. So we go forward and we all get behind those 12 players that need to play, and thats a good thing. ' ' '
