ARLINGTON, Texas -- New backup, same result for rookie quarterback Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys.Prescott threw three touchdown passes, two to Dez Bryant, in the first game with Tony Romo as his backup, and the Cowboys set a franchise regular-season record with their ninth straight win, beating the Baltimore Ravens 27-17 on Sunday.The Cowboys (9-1) punted on their first four possessions -- a first this season -- against the NFLs No. 1 defense. But Prescott completed 14 of 15 in the second half and led consecutive drives of 92 and 88 yards after halftime to break a 10-10 tie. Both drives ended with TD passes to Bryant .Like I said before, the guys amazing, said Bryant, who had six catches for 80 yards in his first two-score game since his All-Pro season of 2014.Were going to follow that guy. Were going to continue to keep following that guy. The way that he adjusts and the way he handles his business, it says a lot about him.Romo, who broke a bone in his back in a preseason game, was active for the first time since Thanksgiving last year, and was the Dallas backup for the first time in 10 years.The 36-year-old never took off his baseball cap, although he was watching with interest as medical personnel surrounded Prescott after the 23-year-old went down hard on a late hit by C.J. Mosley after throwing his first touchdown pass , to Cole Beasley in the second quarter.Prescott, who was off target on three straight throws during the rough start for the offense, bounced off the bench moments later and finished 27 of 36 for 301 yards for another 300-yard game a week after his first.He joined Dan Marino and Russell Wilson as the only rookie quarterbacks since 1970 to have multiple touchdown passes in five consecutive games.Before the game starts I know were going to figure things out, Prescott said. The game plan that we got going into there and the adjustments weve made all season long. Theres no worry in us not figuring things out.The Ravens (5-5), who lost to Dallas for the first time in five games in franchise history, controlled the tempo most of the first half. Baltimore stayed close on Joe Flaccos 5-yard scoring pass in the fourth quarter to Steve Smith, who became the 14th player with 1,000 career catches.But Dallas third possession of the second half took more than six minutes before Dan Baileys 21-yard field goal for a 10-point lead with 1:50 remaining as the Ravens fell back into a tie for first with Pittsburgh in the AFC North.They scored every time they had the ball, Flacco, who was 23 of 35 for 269 yards, said of the second half. In that kind of game, weve got to do the same thing.NFL rushing leader Ezekiel Elliott, who had 97 yards to give him 1,102 this season, broke the Dallas club rookie rushing record of 1,007 yards set by Tony Dorsett in 1977. Thats the same year the Cowboys set the previous franchise mark with an 8-0 start.Dallas won the Super Bowl that season, but ever-optimistic owner Jerry Jones is resisting such talk.I can hang my hat on this little thing called nine wins in a row, Jones said.GET HIM THE BALLElliott didnt have a touch in the second quarter, but had 10 for 70 yards in the third. That included an 8-yard catch when he did whats becoming his customary hurdle over Tavon Young, one of the cornerbacks filling in with Jimmy Smith sidelined by a back injury.1,000 FOR SMITHSmiths 1,000th career catch came on the first play of the second half, a 22-yarder over the middle. His 999th was a toe-tapping gem on the sideline in the first half and held up after a review challenge from Dallas coach Jason Garrett. The 16th-year pro finished with 99 yards on eight catches, putting him at 1,005 for his career.FIRST AND 30The Cowboys faced first-and-30 after starting with the four punts when Prescott scrambled for 12 yards, threw a 12-yard pass to Bryant and then a 41-yard deep ball to Brice Butler, who hauled it in at the Baltimore 7. The scoring toss to Beasley came two plays later.SECOND-HALF SHUTDOWNTerrance West had an 18-yard run for Baltimores first touchdown and 42 yards rushing at halftime, but one carry for zero yards in the second half. The Ravens had 86 yards rushing at the half and finished with 101.UP NEXTRavens: A key NFC North matchup with Cincinnati in the first of consecutive home games.

Jamie Hagiya stood in line with her opponents at the California CrossFit regional in May, waiting to hear who qualified for the upcoming CrossFit Games.The Games, which begin Tuesday and run through July 24 in Carson, California, feature 40 of the fittest women in the world. Only five would be selected from the California regional, and this was Hagiyas fourth attempt to make the cut.In first ... Lauren Fisher! an announcer howled. In second ... Rebecca Voigt! In third ... Alessandra Pichelli! In fourth ... Chyna Cho!Hagiya cheered and clapped with all her might. There was one spot left.And your fifth athlete going to Carson, California ... Jamie Hagiya!Sitting on a couch last month at Californias Torrance CrossFit, where she is a co-owner and coach, the 31-year-old Hagiya replays the video of her name being called. She is beaming. Her face lights up, bright as her turquoise muscle tank. Thats a moment Ill never forget, Hagiya says. One of the best moments of my life.Hagiya spent most of her life as a basketball player, whipping the ball up the court to lead Southern Californias fast break from 2003 to 2007.Shes found new purpose with CrossFit, qualifying for regionals five straight years in a competition that tests speed, strength, power, agility, endurance and pretty much any other athletic quality imaginable.It allowed me a second chance to be an athlete again.This is my new loveDuring Hagiyas first basketball game in first grade, she scored bucket after bucket while the kids around her giggled and ran aimlessly around the court. Hagiya subbed out. Then they started losing, said her father, Grant Hagiya. So they put her right back in and she started scoring baskets again.But no matter how many shots Hagiya drained as she got older, few believed in her dream to play Division I college basketball. She was doubted, she said, because she was 5-foot-3 and Japanese-American.They said Im too small, Id never play, Hagiya said. I said, Oh forget that. I know I can play.She happened to find her way into an exposure camp with staff from USC in attendance. And the Trojans offered Hagiya her only scholarship.Hagiya fought to earn starts -- out-squatting mens basketball players and defending women a foot taller. Once, she challenged teammate Shay Murphy to eight games of one-on-one, refusing to quit until she won. Ultimately she reached sixth on USCs all-time list for career assists.Shes always had to work for everything in her life, said Murphy, who has played in the WNBA and overseas. She was always told she was too short or not the right skin color or she doesnt have a name to do anything. That drove her.Hagiya learned work ethic from her grandparents, who were imprisoned in internment camps in Wyoming and Arkansas during World War II. They got everything taken away from them. They had to move and they still didnt complain about it. They just worked hard, Hagiya said.Hagiya eventually played professionally in Greece and Spain. She tried out for the Los Angeles Sparks in 2012. She gave it her all -- swinging the extra pass, nailing the open jumper, stealing the ball.But she didnt make the team.She knew she had reached the end of the road with hoops, but nothing prepares a player for that. If you love it so much and put so muchh time and effort into it, its like a relationship ending -- a marriage or something, she said.ddddddddddddShe was disappointed, but she knew something better was near.A few months earlier, she had hosted a basketball clinic for girls when one of the participants father, who owns a CrossFit gym, suggested she try the program.Her first CrossFit session? I died, Hagiya said, recalling the Jackie workout: 1,000-meter row, 50 thrusters and 30 pull-ups. But she kept coming back. I love competition, Hagiya said. It brought that back out of me again.My buddy called me and said, Do you love this? It looks like you love this. Im like, I do, Hagiya said. Nothing will ever compare to basketball, but because that time has passed and Ive accepted that and moved on, this is my new love and I love it.The comeback kidSoon, Hagiya was nipping at the heels of SoCals top CrossFitters. She qualified for regionals in 2012 (but couldnt compete because of a torn hamstring), 2013 and 2014. She just missed the cut for the Games in 13 and 14, finishing fifth both years (only the top three qualified then).She knew she was so close and she knew she belonged with the other girls at that stage, said Andy Paik, a Torrance CrossFit coach. She wanted to prove herself.But in June 2014, Hagiyas rise was halted. On a set of 30-inch box jumps during an exhibition in Las Vegas, she felt as if someone had hit the back of her heel with a barbell. She looked behind her but saw no one was there. She had torn her Achilles, and she had surgery a few days later.Hagiya was devastated. She had to depend on others, unable to walk to pour herself a glass of water. One day she heard one too many its-going-to-be-OKs and walked outside to her car and broke down. Its not fine! Im not OK! she screamed amid tears. This sucks! I dont want to hear its OK!But inspired by NBA star Kobe Bryants recovery from his Achilles injury a year earlier, she committed to strengthening herself through daily rehab. You dry your tears and youre like, Tomorrows a new day, Hagiya said. Lets keep moving.With just three months of full-speed training, Hagiya qualified for 2015 regionals. The SoCal CrossFit community dubbed her the the comeback kid, and many donned T-shirts with the slogan.But Hagiya finished 20th. She knew qualifying was an achievement, but she was disappointed. She wanted more.This years regionals, she felt relaxed. I believe in myself. I know I can do this, she said to herself. Im just going to do my best and whatever happens, happens.The road was not easy. On two events on the final day of competition, she finished 13th and 17th. She had one event left to redeem herself. I had to pull myself together and just go out there and perform, Hagiya said.She came back to finish second in the final event -- a combination of 65-pound thrusters and legless rope climbs -- beating out last years California regional champion, Brooke Ence, for the fifth and final spot at the Games.I was getting so close, so close, so close, Hagiya said. Thats why this year it meant so much to me. I had been trying for so long.I was proud I endured all of that and kept on going. ' ' '
