SPRINGFIELD, Pa. -- South Koreas Eun Jeong Seong and Italys Virginia Elena Carta set up the first all-international U.S. Womens Amateur final in 106 years Saturday, and both players will be chasing a rare season sweep.Seong and Carta each advanced with 2-and-1 victories at Rolling Green. Seong, 16, beat 18-year-old Mathilda Cappeliez of France, and Carta, 19, topped 15-year-old Yuka Saso of the Philippines.Seong is trying to complete an unprecedented U.S. Girls Junior-Amateur season sweep, and Carta is attempting to become the second player to win the tournament and NCAA individual title in the same year.Im looking for [the] U.S. Girls Junior win and U.S. Womens Amateur win, but I will play my play, said Seong, coming off her second straight U.S. Girls Junior title last month at Ridgewood in New Jersey. I dont feel pressure with another player.Carta won the NCAA individual title in May in Oregon as a Duke freshman. Shes trying to join Vicki Goetze (1992) as the only players to win the Amateur and NCAA in the same year, and the sixth to win both titles. Carta also is trying to become the second Italian winner, following Silvia Cavalleri in 1997.In the last all-international final in 1910, Dorothy Campbell, a Scot who was living in Canada, beat Englands Mrs. G.M. Martin at Homewood in Illinois.Seong never trailed Saturday.I think other players are more tired, that they make mistakes some holes, said Seong, 24-4 in USGA match-play championships. Thats why I can win easy going to the back nine.Carta rebounded from a three-putt bogey on the par-4 12th, taking the lead for good with a par on the par-3 14th and ending the match with a birdie on the par-5 17th.The things that I brought from nationals is to see bad things in a positive way, Carta said. I was like, `OK, this is going to be great, because now you have to be even more focused on the next shot, and to believe it even more than what you are actually doing. So, that was great. Three-putting that hole was great.Seong also would become the third female player to win multiple USGA championships in the same year. Pearl Sinn won the Womens Amateur and Womens Amateur Public Links in 1988, and Jennifer Song swept the same events in 2009.The finalists earned spots in the U.S. Womens Open next year at Trump National in New Jersey, and the winner traditionally also receives exemptions into the ANA Inspiration, Womens British Open and Evian Championship -- all only if still an amateur.Hannah OSullivan, the Chandler, Arizona, teen who won last year in Portland, Oregon, skipped her title defense. She played last week in the Womens British Open. Football Jerseys China .

Discount Football Jerseys . -- An ugly goal by Nick Bonino helped the Anaheim Ducks overcome the defensive-minded Phoenix Coyotes on a night when their ragged power play continued to struggle. RIO DE JANEIRO -- Great Britains Katy McLean has already achieved the pinnacle of winning the World Cup in 15s but the sheer magnitude of the Olympics has stopped her in her tracks.Playing in pressure matches is nothing new for McLean -- she captained England to their 2014 World Cup triumph -- but she is expecting pit-of-the-stomach nerves when standing in the tunnel before their first match of the womens sevens tournament against hosts Brazil on Saturday at the Deodoro Stadium.Team GB have been together since October and competed as a group on last seasons World Sevens Series. At the crux of Britains womens sevens side will be the team of England players who won World Cup gold in 2014, and now they have a shot at sevens glory.?I thought they [World Cup and Rio 2016] might be similar but the Olympics is so grand, Mclean told ESPN. Its got so much history and tradition to it and so many great athletes that are part of it and we are now in that same bracket of people who have participated in the Olympics.But there are similarities you can draw with how to deal with the pressure and how to focus on our performance rather than get too carried away with the things going on around you.The Olympics journey started in 2014 for McLean, soon after Englands World Cup win. The Rugby Football Union handed out fulltime sevens contracts to 20 players, effectively ruling them out of 15s availability.It was a controversial move as a number of their 2014 World Cup-winners were unable to play in the 2015 and 2016 Six Nations for England, perhaps passing up the opportunity to build on the spike of interest following their triumph, but it was a statement of intent over their gold-medal aspirations.The team finished fourth on the 2015-16 World Series and Australia will head into the womens sevens competition as favourites but there is a confidence in Great Britains contingent, one formed of 11 England players and Wales Jasmine Joyce.After travelling to Belo Horizonte for their pre-Games training camp they were given a pep taalk from Sir Clive Woodward and it was then that it struck home for McLean exactly what it meant to be part of Team GB.ddddddddddddBelo Horizonte was amazing for us, McLean said. It was the first experience of being part of the whole Team GB setup. There were other athletes arriving so it got bigger and bigger and it was a really good opportunity for us as a squad to fine tune the last bits of rugby going into Rio so that was a massive success.The facilities were out of this world and to be able to train at the temperatures were going to play will make a massive difference so it really helped.Living in the Olympic Village was an overwhelming experience at first as they had never encountered anything like it, but on a personal level McLean had already overcome her biggest obstacle: to reach Rio, she had to change position.By her own admission, if she had stuck to her 15s fly-half role, she may have missed out on a spot in the squad so instead she switched to playing at hooker in the forwards.The hooker rules suit me more so as I can get hands on the ball a lot more but it means I have to work ridiculously hard in defence as you get stuck in the middle of the pitch, she said. But hopefully Ive transitioned quite well and I love the role Im in.Her on-field goal is simple: to lay the foundations so the backs can set the stage on fire while off-field, she will be using her vast experience to ensure nerves are used to drive performance and hopefully a medal.We have to keep remembering we are here to perform, McLean said. We have just got to make sure that we stick to our planning and processes. There have been so many different winners in the World Series this year.Australia and New Zealand have got to be the favourites -- their consistency of form has been phenomenal this year -- and you have got the likes of us, Canada, USA and the hosts Brazil. We are all looking forward to it. ' ' '
