Melbourne City coach John Van t Schip has few fears about facing cross-city rivals Victory without his first-string goalkeeper next week.City eased to a 1-0 A-League win over Wellington Phoenix on Saturday, despite being reduced to 10 men for the last 30 minutes at a windswept Westpac Stadium.Anthony Caceress 31st minute strike was enough to see City home, even after Thomas Sorensen was red-carded for handling outside his area 15 minutes into the second half.Dean Bouzanis pulled on the keepers gloves, and looked composed under pressure as Wellington pushed forward hunting the equaliser.While he was pleased with Bouzaniss performance, Van t Schip wasnt surprised.We try to put a squad together where theres competition in every position, he said.Dean had to come on in very difficult circumstances, and he showed immediately that hes up to it.He had some excellent saves, very important saves, and he also kept calm.So while Sorensen serves out the mandatory one-match suspension, Van t Schip has every confidence City will lose little when they tackle Victory in next weekends Melbourne derby at Etihad Stadium.Part of that confidence comes from the defensive display his outnumbered team constructed as the Phoenix launched an increasingly desperate hunt for a late equaliser.We didnt give that much away, and of course with 10 we became a little bit more under pressure, van t Schip said.Its not only the defence itself, it starts up top. But in the moments we really had to defend deep, the boys did a good job.Van t Schip is reading little into the Victorys late lapse against Brisbane Roar on Friday, where they conceded a 96th minute goal in drawing 1-1.It will be a different game next week again, he said.Its always hard to concede a goal in the last second of the game, thats always frustrating, but derbies are games on their own.

PHOENIX -- There are teachers, doctors, nurses and lawyers.They are a diverse bunch, these Tillman scholars. Their common denominator is a life dedicated to service to their communities and society at large.About 60 scholarships are awarded each year -- out of about 2,000 applications -- by the Pat Tillman Foundation, the organization founded following the combat death of the man who abandoned an NFL career to join the military.Given to veterans or their spouses, the scholarships average about $15,000. Some $12 million has been awarded over the years. Much of the money comes from the NFL through its Salute to Service program.Through the Tillman Scholars program, were able to see Salute to Service come to life and witness the many ways this work impacts the military community, said Anna Isaacson, the NFLs senior vice president of social responsibility.Marie Tillman, the foundations president, believes her late husband would approve of the scholarship effort.Id hope that he would be happy about the fact that his life continues to inspire people, she said, and continues to give so many people opportunities to go on in the world and do great things.A dozen years after his death, Tillman is a name thats become synonymous with sacrifice and service. After a standout career at Arizona State, he played four seasons for the Arizona Cardinals.Then came Sept. 11, 2001, which led Tillman to abandon his athletic career to join the Army Rangers. He already had been to Iraq and was on tour in Afghanistan when he was killed.Family and friends created the Tillman Foundation in 2004, pledging $1.25 million to create the ASU Leadership Through Action program, a scholarship offered through the universitys business school.In 2009, the Tillman Scholars program was launched.One requirement is past service to the community, through the military or some other avenue.Were also looking at what it is that they want to do with their experience and the education that theyre looking to get, Marie Tillman said. What is the impact that theyre hoping to have as they move forward with that education.Joseph Wheaton was an Army Ranger in the same battalion as Tillman, though they never met.Wheaton was deployed four times to Afghanistan and twice to Iraq. In his later tours, he oversaw a team of snipers.After leaving the military, Wheaton graduated summa cum laude from Arizona State before attending law school.He went to work in the gang unit of the Maricopa County prosecutors office but said he found that all he was doing was sending people to prison who deserved to be there.Wheaton wanted to reach youngsters before they got into trouble. So he decided to switch to teaching.His benefits exhausted, he couldnt afford to go back to school on his own, so he applied for and received a Tillman scholarship.Wheaton wants to someday affect national edducation policy but felt he needed some grass-roots experience.ddddddddddddThis year, he received his masters degree in secondary education from Arizona State. He teaches at a high school outside Phoenix, where many of his students come from low-income households.Only experience at the ground level will help highlight the problem and therefore better direct the path toward effective solutions, he said.Blake Schroeder was 20 when he first arrived in Iraq.Our unit took a pretty heavy toll, he said. There were about 160 of us, all National Guardsmen from Illinois, young. All of us had initially joined to go to college. We had about 35 wounded and five killed, the first being within 16 hours arriving in Iraq.When he came back, he couldnt adjust. Visits with a Veterans Affairs counselor did no good. The only thing that worked, he said, was re-enlisting. It was a much less intense trip to Iraq this time. When he returned, recalling his troubled first time back from the war, Schroeder chose to become a clinical psychologist.They covered a pretty significant portion of my education, he said, that allowed me to keep going.Now, with a doctorate from The Adler School of Professional Psychology, he treats people with post-combat conditions.Each year, new scholarship recipients as well as many of the earlier ones gather for the Tilllman Summit.It kind of blows your mind when youre surrounded by all these like-minded individuals, Schroeder said.Emily Thompson-Schelberg enlisted in the Marines in 2005 and deployed to Iraq with an artillery unit. She was a turret gunner on a 7-ton vehicle moving supplies and people.During down time, she helped with humanitarian aid missions, an experience that solidified her decision to follow in her mothers footsteps and become a nurse.She graduated from Penn State with a degree in sports medicine, worked for a year doing concussion research there, then attended Johns Hopkins, something she said she never could have done without the Tillman aid.Now she works as a nurse practitioner in Annapolis, Maryland, where many of her patients are retired Navy personnel. On the side she is a CrossFit coach and nutrition counselor at a gym.And she is training with the U.S. developmental skeleton team, an event in which she lies facedown and careens down a mountain on a sled. Her target is the 2022 Olympics.The scholarship opened doors that I would never have had access to, she said.Veterans get a lot of media attention for the troubles they have, Thompson-Schelberg said.The Tillman Foundation, she said, is showing that veterans have something to offer ... we can do a lot for our communities.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
