Devils hang on for win at Hilbert


The Devils led by two points in the Hawks’ final possession, and held off the hosts, improving to 3-1 on the season.

A pair of freshmen led the Fredonia State offense, as Sarah Seaman put in a 14-point effort, and Amber Louis added 12. Sophomore Renee Park added 11 and five rebounds. Caitlin Snyder grabbed seven boards.

The first half was pretty even, with the Hawks holding a 25-23 lead at the break. Hilbert held slight edges in rebounding (23-21), field goals (8-7) and free throws (8-7). The Devils hit two 3-pointers compared to one by the Hawks. Neither team would lead by more than five points. Fredonia State would grab the lead for good midway through the third. Seaman would convert a layup with just over six minutes remaining to give the Devils a 32-31 advantage.

The Devils led the entire fourth quarter, but Hilbert would pull within one point on three occasions — the last coming in the final minute.

Ashley Schroeder’s layup with 33 ticks left on the clock cut the Fredonia State lead to 55-54. The Hawks would fail in their final shot attempt, and Louis converted 1-of-2 free throws, and Seaman sank the final two to ice the game Fredonia State’s Mary Culeton added 8 points and three assists, and Laurell Brown had 6 points and five boards. Hilbert (0-2) received double-doubles from the duo of Schroeder (20 points, 10 rebounds) and Macy Kistner (13 points, 12 rebounds).

The Devils head to Alfred University this weekend where they take part in the Alfred Classic.


MEN’S BASKETBALL

HAMBURG — A jumper and a pair of free throws inside the final 31 seconds eliminated the Devils’ one-point lead, as the Fredonia State men’s basketball team fell to Hilbert College 78-75 on Tuesday.


The Devils led by as many as 14 points in the second half, but could not hang on. Aaron Collins and AJ Knight combined for 10 3-pointers and each scored 22 points. DeAndre Hayes added 10 assists. Hilbert maintained an early advantage, gaining its biggest lead of the game of seven points, 20-13, at the 13:40 mark. Things would then begin to go the Devils’ way. A 10-1 run gave them a two-point lead, 23-21. Their biggest lead of the half would come at the 4:09 mark at 39-31.

The half would end with the Devils up 41-38.

Fredonia State would extend its lead to 59-45 eight minutes into the second half.

Soccer: Iranian player arrested amid World Cup scrutiny

DUBAI United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran arrested a prominent former member of its national soccer team on Thursday over his criticism of the government as authorities grapple with nationwide protests that have cast a shadow over its competition at the World Cup. The semiofficial Fars and Tasnim news agencies reported that Voria Ghafouri was arrested for “insulting the national soccer team and propagandizing against the government.” Ghafouri, who was not chosen to go to the World Cup, has been an outspoken critic of Iranian authorities throughout his career. He objected to a longstanding ban on women spectators at men’s soccer matches as well as Iran’s confrontational foreign policy, which has led to crippling Western sanctions. More recently, he expressed sympathy for the family of a 22-year-old woman whose death while in the custody of Iran’s morality police ignited the latest protests. In recent days he also called for an end to a violent crackdown on protests in Iran’s western Kurd

The reason why Fox Sports' Gus Johnson always calls Ohio State 'world famous'

Johnson has become known for his emphatic calls on the broadcasts, often being considered one of the best at providing the energy on play-by-play. And when it's Ohio State providing the excitement, Johnson has picked up a unique way to refer to the team: the world famous Ohio State Buckeyes. Ohio State is certainly widely known in the United States. The Buckeyes' football program keeps them in the mainstream at all times, as does the school's massive alumni network. But college football isn't huge outside of Columbus, so why does Johnson refer to the Buckeyes as "world famous?" The Sporting News takes a look. There certainly could be some people outside the United States who consider the Buckeyes' football program to be world famous, but that's not why Johnson has deemed them internationally significant.

Virginia football players killed in shooting; hundreds mourn on campus

The University of Virginia lifted a campuswide lockdown Monday hours after three students were killed and two injured in a shooting rampage on a charter bus that had returned from a field trip, authorities said. Killed were D’Sean Perry, Lavel Davis Jr. and Devin Chandler, all of whom played football at the school, university president Jim Ryan said. The names of the two people who were wounded have not been released.  "This is a sad, shocking and tragic day for our UVA community," Ryan said at a news briefing Monday, adding that authorities did not have a “full understanding” of the circumstances surrounding the shooting. The suspected shooter, Christopher Darnell Jones Jr., is a former UVA football player, though he didn't appear in any games. He was arrested just before 11 a.m. Monday in Henrico County, about 75 miles southeast of Charlottesville, Henrico Police said in a statement. Ryan said Jones, 22, is a student at the 22,000-student school. Jones faces three count
