MONTREAL - The University of Montreal Carabins almost let it slip away, but they have booked their ticket to the Vanier Cup game.Gabriel Cousineau passed for 421 yards, with a pair of touchdown tosses to Mikhail Davidson, as the Carabins downed the underdog Manitoba Bisons 29-26 in the Uteck Bowl before a boisterous sellout crowd of 5,100 at CEPSUM stadium on Saturday afternoon.Cousineau also ran in a TD while Louis-Philippe Simoneau had a field goal and the defence forced two safeties.Montreal will play in its first Canadian Inter-university Sport national final, the Vanier Cup game, next Saturday at Percival Molson Stadium against the winner of the Mitchell Bowl between McMaster and Mount Allison.There was so much noise, said Cousineau, the fourth-year quarterback who was named player of the game. We were so proud to play in front of our fans.Jordan Yantz threw a pair of TD passes to Matt Sawyer and ran one in himself for Manitoba. Ryan Jones added a field goal. The Bisons had three interceptions to give them 12 in three post-season games.And the Bisons, who went 4-4 in the regular season but then upset the Saskatchewan Huskies and Calgary Dinos to win the Canada West conference, threw a major scare into Montreal on their final drive.Trailing 29-24, Yantz completed passes on five straight plays to get the ball to the Montreal 12 with less than a minute to play. But the Carabins defence tightened up, taking away the short side plays Yantz had been using at will.And then Anthony Coady forced Yantz to fumble and Byron Archambault grabbed the ball to end the threat. Montreal conceded a safety on the final play to make it 29-26.Mental toughness, Montreal coach Danny Maciocia said of the final stand. Probably the teams Ive coached here in the past may have succumbed to that pressure down the stretch, but this one never stopped believing. They got in there and got it done.It was a heartbreaker for Yantz.I thought it was right there, he said. I was ready to throw the ball and someone hit me from behind and it fell out of my hand.I saw Nic (Demski) in the end zone. It was a perfect play call. It just didnt go our way. It hurts to lose, but we came here and we had a good season. Congrats to Montreal.Yantz completed 22 of 35 passes for 320 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 61 yards.Cousineau was 24 for 35 for a team record 421 and two TDs.Three Manitoba receivers had 80 or more receiving yards: Dustin Peterson, Zach Regert and Sawyer. Montreals Davidson caught five balls for 142 yards while Philip Enchill grabbed four for 108.Bisons coach Brian Dobie tipped his hat to both quarterbacks.I thought the two quarterbacks were by far the two best players on the field, said Dobie. Gabriel Cousineau had an incredible game. He just kept making throws. Hes got champion written all over him.Jordan Yantz was money. He was so good. It was a game of quarterbacks and they both put their teams in position to win the game.Cousineau was sacked on the first play from scrimmage, but on the next found Davidson behind the defence for an 89-yard touchdown.The Carabins picked up a single on the ensuing kickoff, but Yantz marched Manitoba back on a nine-play drive capped by an eight-yard TD pass to Sawyer.Montreal answered with Cousineaus 14 yard TD pass to Davidson and a 40-yard Louis-Philippe Simoneau field goal.A Mitchell Harrison interception put the ball on the Montreal 41 and, three plays later, Yantz hit Sawyer with a 30-yard TD toss 2:22 into the second quarter.Ryan Jones left a 49-yard field goal attempt short and Cousineau responded by completing three long tosses to the Manitoba six. Then he ran it in himself on a draw at 12:12.But the Bisons werent done, as Yantz scored on a 10-yard scramble with at 14:15 to close the gap to 27-21 at halftime.The Carabins picked up their second safety of the day for the only third quarter scoring as the game turned into a defensive struggle in the second half.They adjusted in the second half, said Cousineau. They got us out of our game plan a bit, but once again, our defence was amazing.A late drive set up Regerts 40-yard boot with 2:12 left to play. The receiver and punter had limped off the field favouring his right knee after making a catch over the middle in the second quarter, but he returned in the second half.The Carabins have won 10 games in a row since dropping their regular-season opener. They claimed a first Quebec Conference title last week with a second victory in a three-week span against the top-ranked Laval Rouge et Or.Maciocia was not pleased that Yantz was able to dance away from the pass rush all afternoon and said it may have been because the Carabins practised indoors most of the week due to bad weather.We werent able to be as physical as we wanted, he said. Thats something we want to address because we have to be a better tackling team if we have any aspirations of winning next week.Still, he was ecstatic with the victory and was mobbed by the family, including his three daughters, on the field after the game.I had the good fortune to win two Grey Cups with the Edmonton Eskimos (as offensive co-ordinator in 2003 and as head coach in 2005), said Maciocia. Im a proud Montrealer and Quebecer and Ive always said if theres a way I can win a championship in Montreal, it would rank up there with those Grey Cups. T.J. Yeldon Jersey .

The 23-year-old Poland international is back as first choice at Arsenal after losing his regular spot in the team on occasions over the last three seasons.NEW YORK -- Without regard to fan or player balloting, here are our selections for the 85th All-Star game July 15 at Target Field, home of the Minnesota Twins since 2010. There are 34 spots on each roster, with at least 13 reserved for pitchers. Every major league club must be represented. The deadline for fan voting was midnight Thursday. Rosters will be announced Sunday night. The winning league, which gets home-field advantage in the World Series, has won five consecutive championships. ------ American League: First Base -- Coming off consecutive MVP awards, Detroit slugger Miguel Cabrera gets the start even though Chicago rookie Jose Abreu and Torontos Edwin Encarnacion have more homers at this power-packed position. Encarnacion is listed as a designated hitter on the fan ballot, but hes played the vast majority of games at first base. Oakland bopper Brandon Moss was the toughest player to leave off the squad. Second Base -- The surprise starter is pint-sized Houston dynamo Jose Altuve. Seattles Robinson Cano and Detroits Ian Kinsler, both producing with new teams, are on the bench. Shortstop -- Yankees captain Derek Jeter takes a bow in his final season, though he hasnt done much damage at the plate. Alexei Ramirez of the White Sox beats out Kansas Citys Alcides Escobar for the backup role. Third Base -- Adrian Beltre has been a bright spot in a miserable year for banged-up Texas. He earns the starting job. Kyle Seager is enjoying a breakout season in Seattle, and Oaklands Josh Donaldson also makes it after getting snubbed a year ago. At last check, Donaldson had a big lead in fan balloting. Catcher -- Salvador Perez makes his second straight All-Star squad for Kansas City, and this time hes the starter. Kurt Suzuki represents the hometown team in his first season with the Twins. It was very difficult to deny Derek Norris of the Athletics, who has been so productive in limited at-bats. Outfield -- Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels starts in centre, with Baltimore newcomer Nelson Cruz in left and Torontos Jose Bautista in right. Cruz had a comfortable lead at DH in fan voting, but hes actually spent more time in the outfield. The reserves are Clevelands Michael Brantley, Baltimore centre fielder Adam Jones and Oaklands Yoenis Cespedes. Designated Hitter -- Victor Martinez of the Tigers has nearly as many home runs as strikeouts. Amazing. Those numbers help put him in the starting lineup over Boston stalwart David Ortiz, last years World Series MVP. Starting Pitchers -- Mariners ace Felix Hernandez gets his first All-Star start. Hes joined on the staff by Japanese right-handers Masahiro Tanaka of the Yankees and Yu Darvish of the Rangers, along with Angels first-timer Garrett Richards, reigning Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer and Tigers teammate Rick Porcello.dddddddddddd The left-handers are Torontos Mark Buehrle, Oaklands Scott Kazmir, Chicagos Chris Sale and Tampa Bays David Price. ... Ortiz and Price arent exactly chummy. Could make for an interesting clubhouse. Relievers -- Now that Mariano Rivera has retired, someone else gets a chance to anchor the bullpen. Red Sox closer Koji Uehara, Kansas Citys Greg Holland and As lefty Sean Doolittle all have what it takes. ------ National League: First Base -- Arizona slugger Paul Goldschmidt is the starter at a spot loaded with splendid hitters. Behind him are Atlantas Freddie Freeman, Chicagos Anthony Rizzo and Washingtons Adam LaRoche. Rejuvenated in Colorado, Justin Morneau serves as the DH -- giving Minnesota fans a former Twins star to cheer. Second Base -- Dodgers speedster Dee Gordon gets the nod thanks to all those stolen bases. Chase Utley returns for Philadelphia following knee problems, and steady bat Daniel Murphy represents the Mets. Shortstop -- Troy Tulowitzki of the Rockies is the runaway choice, backed up by Hanley Ramirez from Los Angeles. Third Base -- Its a pair of unexpected first-timers at the hot corner in Todd Frazier from Cincinnati and reserve Anthony Rendon from Washington. Catcher -- Another surprise behind the plate, where Milwaukees Jonathan Lucroy starts over two established stars: Buster Posey of the Giants and Yadier Molina of the Cardinals. They both make the roster, but Miguel Montero of the Diamondbacks barely gets squeezed out. His numbers deserve recognition. Outfield -- NL MVP Andrew McCutchen from Pittsburgh is in centre, flanked by Miami strongman Giancarlo Stanton in left and Yasiel Puig of the Dodgers in right. The second-string unit is comprised of Brewers centre fielder Carlos Gomez, Braves slugger Justin Upton and San Franciscos Hunter Pence. Starting Pitchers -- Cardinals right-hander Adam Wainwright also warrants his first start in an All-Star game. The rest of the group includes Reds teammates Johnny Cueto and Alfredo Simon, Zack Greinke and Josh Beckett from the Dodgers, veteran Tim Hudson of the Giants and youngster Julio Teheran of the Braves. The left-handers are two-time Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw (Dodgers) and Madison Bumgarner (Giants). Kyle Lohse from the Brewers was the hardest omission of all. Relievers -- Francisco Rodriguez, closing again in Milwaukee, punctuates a renaissance season with his first All-Star selection in five years. Rounding out the bullpen are Atlantas Craig Kimbrel, San Diegos Huston Street and Washingtons Rafael Soriano.
