England Womens captain Steph Houghton is targeting six points from the forthcoming Euro 2017 qualification double-header against Serbia. The Lionesses are unbeaten in qualifying Group 7 for next years tournament in The Netherlands, but left it late to clinch a 1-0 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina, four days after a 1-1 draw at home to Belgium.They face Serbia at Wycombes Adams Park on Saturday before making the long trip to Stara Pazova for the reverse fixture against the same side on Tuesday. And Houghton is keen for England to seal their place in Holland as soon as possible to allow boss Mark Sampson to blood some youngsters ahead of next years tournament. Ray Parlour, Steph Houghton, Lucy Bronze and Adam Richman take on Manuel Neuer in the Soccer AM car park The England and Manchester City Womens skipper told Sky Sports: We look back at the last two qualifiers against Belgium and Bosnia and we were very disappointed by the Belgium result [in particular] but we still got that point.Realistically the group is in our hands and the two games against Serbia home and away are massive and ones we want to win without a doubt.In terms of qualification, we want to do that as quickly as possible to give people experience, give youngsters the chance to come in and play for their country, and also to try and work out how we want to play at Euro 2017.I think its important we do that and realise what we are good at and look at what strengths we can bring to that tournament. Houghton skippered England to historic bronze medal finish at 2015 Womens World Cup Despite Serbia lying 45th in the FIFA World rankings - 41 places below the Lionesses - head coach Sampson will guard against complacency, particularly after Englands below-par performances in their last two games.As always our main focus during qualification is on our own team, he said.Were confident if we can perform to our levels we can get the results that we want but we dont take any team lightly [after what] we saw against Bosnia and Belgium.Serbia will make it very difficult for us and they will defend for their lives. Its a big game for them coming to the team that were bronze medallists at the World Cup. Also See: SportsWomen Latest Show News Latest News SportsWomen Video Miami Marlins Shirts .

PETERSBURG, Fla. Cheap Marlins Jerseys . -- Top-seed Shahar Peer and Canadian Eugenie Bouchard advanced to the second round of the inaugural WTA Citi Open. Miami Marlins Pro Shop . -- Jonathan Vilmas season is over and his future on the football field is in doubt.INDIANAPOLIS -- Big Roy came up with a big answer for his critics and his teammates Wednesday night. He played like an All-Star when the Pacers really needed it. After 48 hours of questions and criticism, Roy Hibbert scored a season-high 28 points, grabbed nine rebounds, blocked two shots and altered a handful of others to help the Pacers get even in the Eastern Conference semifinals with an 86-82 victory over Washington. Hibbert sounded more relieved than redeemed. "David (West) always talks to me about being the person that rescues yourself when youre in the middle of the ocean," Hibbert said after Indiana tied the best-of-seven series at 1-1. "Theres nobody who can throw a lifesaver or a rope out to help you. So I had to do it myself." The next step is proving he can play this way again Friday when Washington hosts Game 3. Hibbert went into Wednesday with a combined total of 37 points and 24 rebounds in Indianas first eight playoff games. Twice in the previous four he failed to score a point or grab a rebound. Beleaguered Pacers fans wanted Hibbert benched. Frustrated teammates talked publicly and privately about needing more from their 7-foot-2 centre. Critics turned Hibbert into the butt of jokes and on the Internet, some even tried to explain Hibberts incredible disappearing act with unseemly speculation. After talking to his old college coach, John Thompson III, and Colts linebacker Robert Mathis, a close friend, Hibbert blocked out the inescapable firestorm, focused on basketball and fueled the decisive 6-0 run late in the fourth quarter. It was enough to put repeated smiles on Hibberts face, even if he considers it only a start. "I just want to string a few games together," he said. "Consistency hasnt been my biggest friend this year. Im going to try to continue to play aggressive and Im going to try to control the things I can control. I cant control play calls, but I can control how hard I play, how fast I run down the court and how well I play defence." George Hill finished with 14 points, Paul George had 11 points, six rebounds and four assists, and Lance Stephenson added 12 points, seven rebounds and five assists. And for the first time this post-season, the Pacers held an opponent to fewer than nine 3-pointers. Washington finished 5 of 21 from behind the arc, the lowestt percentage (23.dddddddddddd) in the playoffs this year. Much of the credit went to Hibbert, who helped open up the offensive lanes for his teammates and protected the rim well enough that Indiana could spread out and defend the perimeter. "Hes got our attention now," Drew Gooden said. "Weve got to be focused on guarding the Roy Hibbert we know." It was a lost opportunity for the Wizards, who had won their first four playoff games on the road -- three at Chicago and Monday night at Indy -- and could have gone home with a commanding 2-0 lead. They had chances. Washington led by as much as six early in the third quarter and rallied in the fourth to take a 77-74 lead with 5:01 to go before Hibbert and George scored six straight to give the Pacers the lead for good. Marcin Gortat finished with 21 points and 11 rebounds. Bradley Beal had 17 points and Nene added 14. "He came out with a lot of intensity and established position," Beal said. "We didnt play our best game. We didnt shoot the ball and we didnt defend like we know were capable." But Hibbert changed this game almost by himself. He scored the first five points of the game, an indication that things were going to be different, and he came up big late, too. Hibberts nifty stop-and-go layup got the Pacers within 77-76. That basket ignited the decisive 6-0 spurt. Georges steal on the ensuing possession led to a layup from Hill that gave Indiana a 78-77 lead, and Hibberts presence in the middle allowed George to find a lane for a two-handed dunk that made it 80-77. All the Wizards could muster after that was an alley-oop layup from Gortat and a long 3-pointer from Beal that got the Wizards within 84-82 with 11 seconds to play. West made two free throws and Hibbert sealed it by grabbing the last rebound of the game. "He carried us tonight," West said. "I thought he was very relaxed before the game. He was relaxed this morning. He didnt say a whole lot, but as a professional, I think everything just came down on him and he responded the right way." Notes: Hibbert was 10 of 13 from the field and made all eight of his free throw attempts.... Nene went to the locker room in the first quarter after apparently hurting his left leg or ankle but returned early in the second quarter and finished the game. ' ' '
