(NLL) - The Minnesota Swarm today agreed to terms with firstoverall pick Logan Schuss on a two-year contract on Monday. Schuss, a left-handed forward from Ohio State University, became the first No. 1 overall pick in Swarm history this past September during the 2013 NLL Entry Draft. Schuss started and played in every game during his four-year career at Ohio State and finished as the schools all-time leader in points (237) and goals (146). In his senior season as a co-captain this past spring, the 22-year-old notched a career-high 44 goals along with 28 assists and helped the Buckeyes reach the 2013 NCAA Quarterfinals. "Getting Logan signed is key to our success," Swarm associate general manager and head coach Joe Sullivan said. "Clearly he is a standout player that is going to do a lot of great things for our team on and off the floor. But more importantly, hes going to shore up what we needed on the left-side with some toughness and an ability to play an inside-outside game." Schuss racked up national recognition on top of his school records, including two ECAC Player of the Year awards in 2012 and 2013, and was a three-time USILA All-American selection. The Ladner, British Columbia native was also selected as one of the top 25 nominees for the prestigious Tewaaraton Trophy in 2013. Off the field, Schuss excelled in the classroom and was a three-time Ohio State Scholar-Athlete, two-time Academic All-Big Ten choice, and a 2013 Senior CLASS Award finalist. Yankees Jerseys 2020 .

Alberto Moreno intercepted the cross but was unable to clear, and Perez lashed the ball in from 10 metres (yards).We were punished for a mistake and that is what cost us the game, Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers said. We passed the ball well. The options in front of the ball were good but we probably lacked that little bit in the final third of the field. We did not create as much as we would have liked.It was Newcastles second victory against a top club in four days, having eliminated Manchester City from the League Cup on Wednesday. Newcastle defender Steven Taylor praised manager Alan Pardew for responding to intense pressure from supporters to leave the club by inspiring his side to a fourth straight win.Everybody is fully behind him and the main thing is, we keep winning and everybody is happy, Taylor said. Its exciting and obviously we have got a bit of momentum going into the next game but wee just keep taking it one game at a time and not getting carried away.ddddddddddddIt was yet another Liverpool display lacking the energy and creativity it became renowned for last season and another Premier League game where Mario Balotelli failed to find the net for his new club, taking the unwanted streak to eight matches.Papiss Cisse came closest to opening the scoring in the first half for Newcastle on 37 minutes, when Glen Johnson cleared his shot off the line after Simon Mignolet had failed to claim a corner.Three minutes later, Martin Skrtel sent a free header wide from Steven Gerrards corner in Liverpools only key chance in a subdued performance.The 21-year-old Perez replaced Cisse at the interval, and after scoring the winner in Newcastles 2-1 comeback victory at Tottenham last weekend, proved the difference once again for Pardews side.Newcastle could have secured the result four minutes after scoring when Cabella raced through one-on-one against Mignolet, but the Liverpool goalkeeper saved Cabellas low shot with his feet.Rodgers introduced strikers Fabio Borini and Rickie Lambert in search of an equalizer, but Liverpool failed to create anything to challenge Tim Krul.
