Patrick Dangerfield was the life of the party as Geelong celebrated milestones for club stalwarts Corey Enright and Jimmy Bartel with a hard-fought win over the Western Bulldogs.Enright played his 326th AFL match on Friday night to overtake Ian Nankervis and become the clubs all-time games record holder, while Bartel notched his 300th game.Both were influential in the 16.7 (103) to 11.12 (78) win over the gallant Bulldogs, with Dangerfields 33-disposal, three-goal performance the centrepiece of a momentous evening for the Cats in front of 24,331 fans at Simonds Stadium.Its big ... we wanted to honour the occasion but we also dont want to be disrespectful to other games of AFL football, coach Chris Scott said of the win.If anything, the challenge is to make sure your emotion level is relatively stable. Theres no doubt, in our minds, that we were going to be up for the game.But there was a risk that we were going to try too hard and be a little bit over the top with our emotion and (the Bulldogs) were probably in the same boat.I thought it was a fiercely contested game but we were really pleased with our composure.Its just nice to send well-loved guys off the ground in a situation like that after a win. Enright and Bartel finished with 27 and 25 disposals respectively, with Bartel delighting the home crowd with a running left-footed goal in the dying seconds of the match.Rhys Stanley kicked a career-high five goals and Zac Smith was the dominant ruckman on the ground with 31 hitouts as the Cats extended their winning streak against the Dogs to 10 games.But this was no pushover win for Geelong.Luke Beveridge made five forced changes to a side that suffered a horrendous injury toll in last weeks loss to St Kilda but the depleted Dogs dominated large patches of the contest without capitalising on their hard work.Geelong eventually turned the tide with a four-goals-to-one third term after the Dogs lost Tom LIberatore to an ankle injury and Jack Macrae to a hamstring strain.The Cats 13th win of the season keeps them right in the hunt for a top-four finish.Were on the right track and clearly we werent on the right track as little as a few weeks ago, Scott said.

LINCOLN, Neb. -- Nebraska opened up a 22-point lead in the first half, then watched South Dakota cut that lead to two before the Huskers were able to turn back the upset bid 73-61 on Saturday.I was really proud of our guys to perform down the stretch, said Nebraska coach Tim Miles. South Dakota competed really hard and really, I thought, out-competed us the second half. When you get punched in the mouth, you cant look at that and say `Oh gee, whats going on, do I have any teeth left? Youve just got to swallow them, spit the blood out and keep battling.Nebraska (5-3) hit 10 of its first 15 shots, 4 of 7 from 3-point range, while the Husker defense stifled South Dakota (6-4). The Coyotes hit just 2 of their first 11 shots and turned the ball over six times in the game-opening stretch that saw Nebraska lead 26-4 with 11:23 left in the first half.We looked like Edward Scissorhands out there for the first eight minutes or so -- a lot of turnovers, just driving in there and playing volleyball, throwing it up there and seeing what happened, said South Dakota coach Craig Smith We had to adjust and once we finally kind of settled in, I really liked we saw our of team. I thought we had great resolve. Im proud of how we played when we got down 22 in a hostile environment.Nebraska led 41-21 on Jack McVeighs 3-pointer with 2:53 left in the half, but the Huskers hit just one field goal and a pair of free throws the rest of the half and the Coyotes trailed 45-31 at halftime.The Huskers made 5 of 16 shots against South Dakotas zone defense to open the second half and turned the ball over eight times. Nebraska hit 33 percent of its shots in the second half.Credit to them, said Nebraska forward Michael Jacobsen. They definitely switched defenses and pressed and did some things that kind of got us on our heels and out of our attack mindset, which I thought was pretty good at the outset of the game.Credit to them, no doubt. They definitely switched defenses and pressed and did some things that kind of got us on our heels and out oof our attack mindset, which I thought was pretty good at the outset of the game.ddddddddddddrailing 56-42 in the second half, the Coyotes went on a 12-0 run, cutting the Husker lead to two on Matt Mooneys layup with 7:30 left. Nebraskas Tai Webster countered with a 3-pointer to push the lead back to five and McVeighs 3 with 2:45 left made it 67-58.McVeigh finished with 16 points and made 4 of 9 from behind the arc.McVeigh hit some big shots in the second half, Smith said. He got a groove going, exactly what he needed early on, hit three 3s in the first half and started feeling it. Then hit a couple big 3s in the second half when we were in the midst of a big-time run. Coach (Miles) has been upfront and honest about it, theyve got to make some threes that way.Webster scored 12 points with three 3s for Nebraska and Michael Jacobson added 11 points and grabbed 10 rebounds.BIG PICTURENebraska: Saturdays contest against South Dakota was a breather in the Huskers challenging pre-conference schedule.
