fought off

Goalkeeper Hampton fought off competition from Mary Earps for her place - but it is not secure after a mixed performance.

More resistance came as Evans fought off five match points - and created three break points - before a relieved Etcheverry eventually served out victory.

She says her son, who is 14, fought off boys who were attempting to force him into the caged enclosure alongside other black boys who were already inside it.

After coming through two break points when Evans served to open the match, they broke decisively in the second game and fought off another opportunity for the Belgians to secure the first set.

Just a few blocks away from where Juliana and others rehearse, a female officer with Haiti’s National Police was fatally shot May 8 as she fought off gang members trying to kidnap her.
