I should have attacked sooner and faster, but the opponent was stronger than me.Maroulis said her coach, Valentin Kalika, played a key role in the victory. But even with the game plan in place, she became a bit tense before the start.Im like, stepping on the mat, and Im thinking, `I dont even know how this is going to get done. I dont know. Im just going to trust, and I just want to give my all, Maroulis said.Maroulis fell behind 1-0, but a takedown early in the second period gave her the lead for good.Ive dreamed of this my whole life, Maroulis said.

Its nothing else, its not bad luck -- its me. Ive got to get better, Price said after a 4-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays dropped Boston to 13-19 since May 26.The Red Sox have lost seven of their last 10 games, including two of three to the Rays, who entered the series on an 11-game losing streak.Price (8-5) was outpitched Wednesday by former Tampa Bay teammate Matt Moore.

But that wasnt the case.Price was beaten by the Rays for the second time this season. He also lost to Tampa Bay 12-8 at Fenway Park on April 21.Im just putting us behind the 8-ball in a lot of games. Im not setting the tone the way that I need to, Price said. Its crushing me right now, but Ill get there.Boston was shut out for the third time this season. The Rays, who ended a streak of 13 consecutive games in which the pitching staff gave up five or more runs, also blanked the Red Sox 3-0 in 10 innings on April 19.TRAINERS ROOMRed Sox: Ramirez felt some discomfort on his right side after swinging and missing in the sixth. He was removed as a precaution in the eighth. We were just trying to prevent something big, said Ramirez, who is day to day. It got a little bit worse, and (Farrell) took me out of the game to prevent something bigger.Rays: RF Oswaldo Arcia (illness) was a late scratch. .
