August 7, 2016 will be a red-letter day for Indian womens hockey -- the teams match against Japan will mark their first time at the Olympics since the 1980 edition in Moscow. But expect no miracles from the side that will be ranked lowest in their pool at 13. Argentina, Australia, Great Britain, Japan and USA have all improved significantly in recent years. The Argentines recently avenged their 2012 Olympic final defeat to the Netherlands in the Champions Trophy final in London.The key thing for India is that they can dominate matches in chunks, and when they do that they tend to play free-flowing hockey and score lots of goals. If such a trend can be established against Japan -- in their least-challenging pool fixture, at least on paper -- then the likes of Rani Rampal, Poonam Rani and Vandana Katariya could have a major influence in the later matches.The teamGoalkeeper: Savita PuniaDefenders: Deep Grace Ekka, Deepika Thakur (vice-captain), Namita Toppo, Sunita Lakra, Sushila Chanu (captain)Midfielders: Navjot Kaur, Monika Malik, Renuka Yadav, Lilima MinzForwards: Anuradha Devi, Poonam Rani, Vandana Kataria, Rani Rampal, Nikki Pradhan, Preeti DubeyOn standby: Rajani Etimarpu, H Lalruat FeliThe key datesAugust 6-19How they got thereThe Indian womens team qualified for the Olympics by finishing fifth in the Antwerp leg of the Hockey World League semi-finals.What they sayNeil Hawgood (chief coach):?This is the first time this team is going to experience the aura of being at the Olympics.

Stanford?has admitted to a pair of Level II NCAA violations for the first time in its athletic departments history.The university self-reported both transgressions in 2014. One came in football, where former wide receiver Devon Cajuste received impermissible benefits valued at under $400 from his summer landlord. The other came in softball, where an internal inquiry found that head coach John Rittman disregarded NCAA limits on team practice hours.The university forced Rittman to resign after its inquiry, while the NCAA reinstated Cajustes eligibility after he repaid the value of the impermissible benefits to charity and served a one-game suspension in the 2014 season opener.While the university has self-reported a number of Level III and Level IV [minor] violations in recent years, it had never had a Level I or II [major] violation, Stanford athletic director Bernard Muir wrote in a statement. The university regrets these violations and has taken corrective actions to ensure that they are not repeated.Cajustes situation involved his summer living accommodations in the vicinity of the Stanford campus. In 2007, Stanford football initiated a process to help players connect with community homeowners to obtain rental housing in the summer months, when on-campus accommodations were often unavailable.The program helped football student-athlettes remain in the area to train, attend summer classes and participate in internships and other activities that would benefit them after graduation, Muir wrote.ddddddddddddStanford discovered that the impermissible benefits that Cajuste had received included meals with his landlords family, movie tickets with the family and the use of a local vacation home. Cajustes landlord also gave the receiver a loan to purchase a bicycle -- also deemed impermissible by the NCAA -- but the receiver had already repaid that loan at the time of Stanfords review.I unknowingly accepted impermissible benefits from my summer landlord, Cajuste wrote in a statement. I look forward to moving on from this incident and to supporting my alma mater for many years to come. I will have no further comment on this matter.Cajuste caught 90 passes for 14 touchdowns over his career at Stanford, which ended last season. He recently signed a contract with the Green Bay Packers practice squad.In his statement, Muir said that Stanford -- ?recognizing the risk of these housing arrangements -- has revised its policy and now prohibits student-athletes from renting local housing during the summer. Stanford student-athletes are now housed on campus. ' ' '
