Default Search a worksheet, extract rows using a list from another sheet

I am trying to use a list of names (first, last) in a colum in worksheetA to
find corresponding entries in an imported worksheet B, Once I find the name
in worksheet B I want to extract the entire row of data into another new
worksheet.

For example
Worksheet A:
Column A
Bill Jones
Fred Smith

Worksheet B:
Place Overall Name Swim Bike
Run Finish
1 12 Bill Jones 24 anytown ST 13:45 54:45
23:00 1:34:45
4 78 Fred Smith 56 anothertown ST 15:00 56:12
24:34 1:48:34

The data in worksheet B in the Name column is all in the same cell (not
different columns)

Now if there is a match between worksheetA name and the name exists in
worksheet B I want to copy the entire row from worksheet B into a new row in
Worksheet C. Not all names in worksheet A will have an entry in worksheet B

Any ideas?
