Siobhan-Marie OConnor is thrilled with her form ahead of the Olympics after winning silver at the European Championships. The 20-year-old from Bath roared back into the pool at Londons Aquatic Centre on Thursday night two days after winning gold in the mixed 4x100m medley relay.This time the Sky Academy Sports Scholar was part of a British one-two on the podium as OConnor and team-mate Hannah Miley finished behind Katinka Hosszu in the 200m individual medley.Hosszu and OConnor are building up quite a rivalry and the Hungarian had to be at her best, clocking 2 minutes 7.30 seconds, to hold off Britains rising star.OConnor, who finished 1.7 seconds behind the winner, said: It was an incredibly quick time for her. My time was quicker than what I did in the trials [in Glasgow]. I was just trying to chase her down.This is my favourite event and the one closest to my heart. Im really happy with that time. OConnor in flying form in London on Thursday night But this medal gives me a lot of confidence ahead of Rio. There is not long to go now until the Olympics and I trained hard for this event and knowing I can do that time gives me a lot of confidence.Competing on the Brazilian stage means a second Games for OConnor as she looks to build on the success of last summers World Championships in Russia where she won bronze in the 200m individual medley.Read Siobhans latest blog where she describes her joy at Olympic selection and painful qualification journey.WHATS COMING UP FOR OUR SCHOLARS19-27 MAY: Savannah Marshall, World Championships in Kazakhstan22 MAY: Olivia Breen and Jessica Judd, Loughborough Internationals27 MAY: Lucy Garner, Boels Hills Classic28 MAY: Jessica Judd, Watford Open29 MAY: Lucy Garner, Gooik Also See: About the Scholarship Meet the athletes Blogs Videos Galleries Custom Wales Soccer Jersey .C. -- Marcus Paige and his North Carolina teammates have endured so many wild swings -- big wins, surprising losses, NCAA drama -- that no one can blame their Hall of Fame coach for wondering whats next.

Ashley Williams Jersey . Nick Holden scored two goals and had an assist and the Avalanche held off the Nashville Predators 5-4 Saturday night for their fourth straight victory.SYDNEY - Argentine striker Henrique scored in the 86th minute to give defending champion Brisbane a 1-1 draw with leader Perth in Australian footballs A-League, avoiding a losing start for new coach Franz Thijssen.Thijssen took over this week from Mike Mulvey who led Brisbane to last years A-League title but was dismissed after guiding the Roar to only one win in its first six matches this season.Perth led from the 20th minute when Dino Djulbic scored and Brisbane continued to show a lack of composure in front of goal, squandering several scoring chances before Henrique equalized four minutes from fulltime.The draw kept Perth atop the A-League table, a point ahead of the Melbourne Victory who beat third-placed Adelaide United 3-2.Brisbane continues to feel the absence of the prolific Albanian striker Besart Berisha who left after last seasons grand final to join the Victory.Henrique has worked hard to fill the void and his five goals in seven games put him level among the leagues leading scorers this season with Berisha and Perths Andy Keogh.He took the equalizing goal well Saturday, chesting down a through ball from Corey Brown and turning Scott Jamieson before placing the ball wide of keeper Daniel Vukovich. But he had a chance to score again only moments later and couldnt control a low cross from substitute Mensur Kurtisi.Brisbane finished strongly but Perth coach Kenny Lowe said it was clear they are still struggling to turn possession into goals.ddddddddddddTheyre just lacking (Besart) Berisha, Lowe said. Theyre keeping the ball, moving the ball, getting up to the 18 (yard box). They just need a big horrible centre forward who munches people and scores goals.Melbourne Victory and Adelaide engaged in a first half scoring duel as Melbourne emerged with its fifth win from eight matches, moving briefly to the top of the table before being overtaken by Perth.Adelaide suffered its first loss of the season in an ill-tempered game in which six players were booked.All five goals were scored between the seventh and 37 minutes and Melbourne was never headed after Nigel Boogaards own goal gave it an early 1-0 lead.Awer Mabil equalized for Adelaide in the 14th minute but it was level for only two minutes before Sergio Cirios own goal put the Victory ahead 2-1.Leigh Bloxham made the lead 3-1 in the 32nd minute, giving Melbourne some insurance against an Adelaide comeback which stalled after Marcelo Carruscas 37th minute penalty.Sydney FC drew 1-1 with Western Sydney Wanderers to remain unbeaten and in fourth place after eight rounds.Australia striker Tomi Juric gave the Wanderers a 1-0 lead in the 30th minute but Bernie Ibini equalized four minutes later.
