CARY, N.C. - Virginia is again the best in college soccer.The Cavaliers beat UCLA 4-2 on penalty kicks after a scoreless tie to earn the NCAA title Sunday.Virginia won the College Cup when Riggs Lennon slipped a low shot past diving UCLA goalkeeper Earl Edwards Jr. in the fifth round.The Cavaliers (14-6-3) won their seventh national title, their first since 2009. They beat Akron here that year, also winning on penalty kicks after a scoreless match.Being the best at what you do, the absolute best at what you do, theres no better feeling, Virginia coach George Gelnovatch said. It was really, really rewarding in the manner in which we did it.Virginia led 2-1 after three rounds of penalty kicks with UCLAs Gage Zerboni and Willie Raygoza both missing on blasts off the crossbar.Patrick Foss of Virginia and Larry Ndjock of UCLA converted to set the stage for Lennons left-footed winner.It set off a wild celebration in which Lennon pulled off his shirt, raised his arms and sprinted away as teammates chased him around the field.I couldnt believe it, Lennon said. I just turned around and saw everyone running at me. I saw the crowd going nuts, and I was like, We just won a national championship. Its the best feeling Ive ever had.Edwards made three saves for UCLA (14-5-5), which had scored three goals in each of its last three matches.Virginias victory came 17 years to the day of the last time it met UCLA in the NCAA final, a 2-0 victory by the Bruins in Richmond.Virginia packed in its defence for much of the match, content to let the Bruins handle the ball in the midfield while preventing any free runs to the goal.The strategy helped create a huge advantage in possession for UCLA, but the Bruins struggled to produce serious scoring threats despite outshooting the Cavaliers 15-9.As disappointing as it was to have lost, I think most people would say today we were the better team, UCLA coach Jorge Salcedo said. Ultimately, we didnt find a way to score a goal, and that was our demise.The Bruins had the best scoring opportunity in overtime in the 96th minute. Abu Danladis one-hop shot after a deflection in the penalty area was saved by Virginia goalkeeper Calle Brown, the tournaments most valuable defensive player.UCLAs best chance in regulation came in the 54th minute on a header by Ndjock. Felix Vobejda sent a cross from the right of the penalty area that was deflected over to Ndjock, whose header missed wide left.Its easy for me to delve into the negative tactics, but it is what it is, Salcedo said. It was very difficult to break down. Theres a saying in soccer that sometimes teams park a bus in front of their own goal. I feel like today there were two buses in front of the goal.The match featured two of the sports best programs.The Cavaliers were in the College Cup for the 12th time, including the second year in a row. UCLA, meanwhile, was seeking its fifth national championship in its 14th trip to the final four.Virginia improved to 3-7-1 against UCLA all time, notching its first win over the Bruins in four NCAA tournament meetings. UCLA had outscored the Cavaliers by a combined 8-0 in their first three post-season matches.The Cavaliers again failed to produce a goal, but on this day they didnt need one.Weve been a very defensive-oriented team, Brown said. Hats off to my defence. I couldnt have earned that MVP without them. They played their heads off today. It was unbelievable to watch, just blocking and keep grinding. Thats why we won.

EDMONTON -- The Los Angeles Kings are looking very much like a team that has hit its stride heading down the stretch. Jeff Carter had two goals and an assist as the Kings stretched their streak to seven wins in a row with a 4-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday. Alec Martinez and Trevor Lewis also scored for the Kings (37-22-6), who are now on their longest win streak since taking nine in a row in 2010. "It feels good to feel like you are contributing on an individual level, but the most important thing is that we are winning games right now," Martinez said. "This is the crunch time of the year and we have to be playing playoff hockey. Its been good to be getting these two points consistently." Kings forward Jarret Stoll said the wins dont always have to be pretty. "Tonight wasnt our best game by any means, not even close, but we found a way and just stuck with it," he said. "We didnt really have our legs at some points, but you have to find ways to win. Dirty ways, ugly ways, whatever. Thats the biggest thing right now. We are getting timely saves from our goaltenders like we usually get and we are finding goals." Taylor Hall and Sam Gagner responded for the Oilers (22-35-8), who had a two-game winning streak snapped. Oilers head coach Dallas Eakins said that the game wasnt as one-sided as it may have seemed and his team was somewhat the victim of bad luck with two goals going in off of odd deflections. "I thought our guys were in the battle, they were sticking together, they were playing hard," he said. "There was no standing around watching them play. We made our mistakes and then they had two goals like that. The first one is a heart-breaker, its not a good way to start, it goes off a guys foot. That gets you down against a team I consider one of the best in the league." Los Angeles was all over Edmonton, outshooting the Oilers 50-27. Gagner tried to downplay the stat. "If you look at the shot differential you draw conclusions from that, but I didnt think it was as one sided as the shots suggested," Gagner said. "I thought it was one of those games where we battled against that team and we held our own physically. Were obviously not happy with the result, but we have to move forward." Kings goalie Jonathan Quick said he felt for his former teammate Ben Scrivens in the Edmonton net, but said his 46-save performance only shows the kind of goalie the Oilers acquired when they traded for him in mid-January. "He has done it all year, he did it with us too," he said "I think he is just what this team needed here in Edmonton. He consistently gives you a solid effort and a chance to win evvery night.dddddddddddd We put 50 shots on him and they still had a chance at the end there. "For a few years now I think it is an area the Oilers needed improvement, not to knock the goalies they had before. The team defence could be better as well. But (Scrivens) has really stepped in since he came here and given them a chance to win every night." The Kings got off to a quick start, scoring a gift goal on the games first shot 1:36 into the contest as a Carter shot that was going wide hit the skate of defender Philip Larsen and got past a surprised Scrivens in the Oilers net. Edmonton tied the game seven-and-a-half minutes into the opening period as David Perron made a nifty no-look backhand pass to Hall, who made a move before sending a backhand shot through Quicks legs. It was Halls 22nd goal of the season and 60th point. Los Angeles outshot Edmonton 12-5 in the first period. Scrivens continued to be tested, making a huge kick save on a Marian Gaborik blast eight minutes into the second period -- the Kings 20th shot of the game. Los Angeles took the lead less than a minute later as a Martinez point shot seemed to hit something in front on its way into the Edmonton net. Carter got another odd goal midway through the second period as Scrivens blocked an Anze Kopitar shot, but the rebound caromed off of the back of Carters leg and in. It was Carters 24th goal of the season. The Kings made it 4-1 with four minutes left in the second as Carter fed a pass to a hard-charging Lewis, who fluttered a shot that Scrivens could only wave his glove at. It was just Lewis third goal in 56 games this season. The shots favoured the Kings 33-19 after 40 minutes. It was Edmontons turn to get a lucky bounce early in the third with the teams playing four players a side. Gagner tried to feed Ryan Smyth at the side of the net, but it hit defender Drew Doughty in front and went into the Kings net to make it 4-2. It was Gagners first goal in 16 games. The Kings conclude a three-game road trip in Calgary on Monday. Edmonton embarks on a four-game trip, starting in Minnesota on Tuesday.
