COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The Eastern Conference-leading Montreal Impact came into Saturdays MLS match rested, while the Columbus Crew were at the tail end of a brutal stretch of games. But it was the Crew who came out strong in the early going and never looked back as Columbus snapped a three-game winless streak with an impressive 2-0 victory over Montreal. Matias Sanchez scored in the sixth minute for Columbus and Dominic Oduro added another in the 22nd to snap the Impacts three-game winning. Montreal played for the first time since June 1, while Columbus (5-5-5) was on the field for the sixth time in 21 days, including Thursday in Chicago, having lost two players to season-ending knee injuries during that stretch. "They jumped on us," Impact midfielder Justin Mapp said. "We werent really sharp the first 15 or 20 minutes. We gave up a couple of goals. On the road youre fighting an uphill battle. "We made it hard on ourselves." Oduro set up the opening goal by dishing the ball to Sanchez just after being fouled just outside the Montreal penalty area. Play was allowed to continue and Sanchez struck from 20 yards with a shot that deflected off Impact defender Jeb Brovsky and past a helpless Troy Perkins in the Montreal (8-3-2) goal. "They came out hard and caught us flat-footed," Brovsky said. "Thats something we talked about at halftime. We were pretty upset with ourselves for our start." Montreal assistant coach Mauro Biello, filling in for the second time this season against Columbus because of a suspension to head coach Marco Schallibaum, wasnt sure if the long layoff was the culprit. "Were a disappointed in the way we came out," Biello said. "We had a little bit of a break but we were expecting them to come out and press us. "They showed that they wanted it a little bit more at that point of the game but we were able to still break them down and create chances." Montreal nearly equalized in the 20th when Andrew Wenger found himself alone for a 17-yarder that forced Columbus goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum to make a kick save. The play was pivotal because just two minutes later Oduro stripped Collen Warner and took off. Perkins came out to meet him at the top of the penalty area but Oduro slotted the ball past home for his seventh goal. "(Warner) underestimated my speed," Oduro said, who now has two goals against Montreal this season. "I was able to take the ball away from him and theres was nothing but net for me to put the ball away." A forgetful first half for the Impact concluded with Wenger missing a six-yard chance from a tight angle by sending his shot well past the far right upper corner. Montreal showed more life in the second half and it resulted in a good chance in the 70th minute when Felipe Martins drew Gruenebaum out for a challenge as he dribbled toward the end line but his attempt rolled harmlessly wide. The Crew responded immediately with Higuain setting up Oduro for a volley that Perkins saved at the right post. Columbus improved to 2-3-2 at home despite having to bus home from Chicago, arriving at 2:20 a.m. local time Friday, following a loss in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. Brovsky said it was more of how Montreal played than the Crews performance. "We cant play like that and expect teams to respect us because were on top of the league," he said. "It doesnt work that way." The Impact hosts Houston on Wednesday. Donovan Mitchell Jersey .

EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Josh Langford was challenged by Tom Izzo to play better at both ends of the court, and the freshman responded well enough to satisfy his hard-to-please coach.Langford had a season-high 15 points and improved his play defensively, helping Michigan State bounce back from a poor performance with a 77-57 win over Youngstown State on Tuesday night.The Spartans (6-4) were coming off a four-point win over Oral Roberts in which Izzo lamented the play of Langford publicly and privately.I knew I hadnt done a good job for Michigan State, and my teammates, Langford said. This time, I didnt care about scoring.Langford has gotten off to a slow start this season, scoring in single digits in his first nine games, in part because of a hamstring injury that made it look like he was laboring to run fluidly with his ailing left leg. Izzo said Langford isnt in pain, but also is not in good condition because of how limited he has been physically this season.Im trying to get him more shots, more playing time and get him in better shape, Izzo said.The Penguins (5-5) were led by Matt Donlan, who scored 15 of his 21 points in the first half, and Francisco Santiago, who had eight of his 13 points after halftime. Youngstown State made just 33 percent of its shots.We just dont have that third guy, Youngstown State coach Jerry Slocum said.Both teams were without their leading scorers, both of whom are from Flint, Michigan.Michigan States Miles Bridges missed a second straight game with a sprained left ankle. Youngstown States Cameron Morse sat out a third consecutive game with an injured right wrist.The Spartans led by seven points at halftime before pulling away in the second half.BIG PICTUREYoungstown State: The Penguins had enough energy to hang with Michigan State in the first half with one tie and one lead change, but they didnt have enough to keep it close without Morse.dddddddddddd. He is averaging 23.7 points.Hes a special offensive player, Slocum said.Michigan State: Izzo didnt like how any of his wings played in the previous game, and wasnt thrilled with any of them besides Langford even though senior Eron Harris and sophomore Matt McQuaid also scored in double figures. Harris had 13 points and McQuaid scored 11, but they were a combined 10 of 26 overall and 4 of 15 on 3-point shots and didnt play well enough at the other end for Izzo.When I got two freshmen playing better defense than a sophomore and a senior, thats not too settling for me, Izzo said.IN THE PAINTNick Ward had 13 points and eight rebounds a game after the freshman forward scored a season-high 24 points and matched his best game on the boards with 10 rebounds. Ward played 20 minutes, coming in and out of the game more frequently than Izzo would like because hes not in good enough shape to play more consistently.Nick has got to be able to play more than 3, 4 minutes in a stretch, Izzo said.BRING THE BUZZWithout Miles, the Spartans are lacking a playmaker that fires up the team and the crowd.He makes a lot of electric dunks, McQuaid said. We have to find that energy he brings.PUT ME IN, COACHMatt Van Dyk grabbed a career-high nine rebounds, more than doubling his previous high.Im trying to figure out if that is good news or bad news, Izzo said. We put that kid in a tough situation.The 6-foot-5, 220-pound former walk-on was needed in the post because Ward was often too tired to play more and Kenny Goins fouled out in just 15 minutes.UP NEXTYoungstown State: Plays at American on Saturday.Michigan State: Hosts Tennessee Tech.---More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 Wholesale Hoodies NFL Shirts Outlet Jerseys NFL Wholesale Cheap NFL Jerseys Free Shipping Wholesale Jerseys Cheap Cheap NFL Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
