South Bend, IN (SportsNetwork.com) - Jerian Grant totaled 24 points and six assists as No. 14 Notre Dame outlasted Georgia Tech, 83-76, in double overtime on Saturday. Steve Vasturia had 17 points and six rebounds for the Fighting Irish (14-1, 2-0 ACC), while Zach Auguste added 13, Demetrius Jackson picked up 11 and Pat Connaughton poured in 10 points and eight boards. Marcus Georges-Hunt led the way with 20 points and eight rebounds for the Yellow Jackets (9-4, 0-1). Charles Mitchell posted 14 points and 12 boards in defeat. It was a heck of a college basketball game, Georgia Tech head coach Brian Gregory said. The only disappointment is we didnt finish as well as we needed to finish in this league around the basket. You cant fault our effort; you cant fault our competitiveness. It was a heck of a game and they figured out a way to win the game. Grants free throw with 25 seconds left in regulation forged a 59-59 deadlock, but Georges-Hunt had his last-second layup try blocked by Auguste. In the first extra session, a Vasturia triple gave the hosts a 67-61 edge, but the visitors fought back for another tie on a Demarco Cox tip-in with 10 seconds left. Grant and Auguste both missed relatively easy chances to send the contest into its fourth period. Augustes bucket early in the second OT provided a 78-71 margin for Notre Dame, but this time the Irish clamped down, aided by poor Yellow Jacket shooting. Between Grant splitting a pair at the line with 1:18 left and Vasturias two free throws with 42 seconds remaining, Georges-Hunt missed two shots and a three along with a Robert Sampson miss. Georgia Tech dominated early, scoring 13 of the games first 15 points, and it led by 27-17 until a late Notre Dame surge pulled the hosts within 31-27 at halftime. Georges-Hunt sank two free throws and the Yellow Jackets led 43-35, then the Irish began to slowly chip away. They led for the first time in the game at 47-46 with 9:12 left on a Connaughton dunk, and were up 56-52 with 4:25 showing once Grant completed a three-point play. It was hard to get into a flow offensively and youve got to give credit to Georgia Tech, they really physically and athletically guarded us, Notre Dame head coach Mike Brey said.

Dzenis Burnic Jersey . -- Jerry Rice Jr.TORONTO - There was a win and loss Monday for both sides in the legal challenge of artificial turf at next years Womens World Cup.The Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario, in an interim ruling, denied the players request that their request for an expedited hearing — which had previously been turned down — be reconsidered.But vice-chair Jo-Anne Pickel also rejected FIFAs argument that, under international law, it had not received effective legal notice of the proceedings. In so doing, the tribunal ruled that the legal challenge can proceed.The players allege that having the women play on artificial turf is discriminatory because the men play their showcase tournament on natural grass.FIFA argues that the laws of the game permit use of artificial turf as long as it meets standards and that the surface makes sense for the Canadian climate. And rather than discriminate against women, the world governing body of soccer has spent years working to grow the womens side of the game.After receiving the original case material and notice from the Ontario tribunal, FIFA argued that the procedure for delivery had not met relevant international treaties.Pickel disagreed.In the circumstances of this case, I find that FIFA has received effective legal notice of this proceeding, she wrote in Mondays 14-page decision. I also find that all documents so far delivered in this case have been properly delivered in accordance with the Tribunals rules and all applicable law.FIFAs effort to evade the jurisdiction of the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal has failed, said Hampton Dellinger, lawyer for the players.But with the tournament less than six months away, time is on the side of FIFA and the Canadian Soccer Assocoation, which doubles as the World Cups national organiizing committee.ddddddddddddThe tribunal also has two more interim decisions to render.An earlier offer of mediation was rejected by the CSA.Earlier Monday, the players offered to meet FIFA Secretary-General Jerome Valcke in Brazil to discuss their differences.Lawyers for the players made the offer after Valcke said Friday he would only talk with the players in person. He had earlier rejected the offer of a conference call.The players accept your offer to meet with them and propose doing so in Brazil during the upcoming International Tournament of Brasilia, Dellinger wrote in a letter Monday to Valcke. Please let me know the date and time you would like to meet with Abby Wambach, Marta Vieira da Silva, and others who can serve as designated negotiators for the players.Wambach and Marta are with their U.S. and Brazilian teams in Brazil for a tournament.Valcke had promised an open dialogue at Saturdays tournament draw in Gatineau, Que. But Canadian captain Christine Sinclair was the only player there.At Fridays pre-draw news conference in Ottawa, Valcke was asked why he had turned down the conference call given the open dialogue comment in an Oct. 29 fifa.com article.He said he would talk to players in person, but not lawyers.I am ready to discuss with all the players, with all the technical teams, with all the coaches. But face to face, said Valcke. And thats what Im ready to do ... Im ready to travel to wherever I have to travel to do that.It took the players lawyers three days to take him up on it.An email to FIFA for reaction did not produce an immediate response.The 2015 Womens World Cup is scheduled for June 6 to July 5 in Moncton, Montreal, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Edmonton and Vancouver.---Follow @NeilMDavidson on Twitter ' ' '
