Prevented from scoring (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

denied

(Other definitions for denied that I've seen before include "Refused to give (someone something)" , "Declared something to be untrue" , "Refused to acknowledge, said it's not true" , "Refused to admit and refused access to" , "Refused to admit (the truth)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
