(VCSU)<\/a>\u00a0 The Valley City State University men\u2019s basketball team opened the 2021-22 season Tuesday night by hosting NCAA Division II school Minot State University for an exhibition contest.<\/p>\n The Vikings rallied to within five points in the final minutes after facing a 18-point second-half deficit, but VCSU could not complete the comeback as Minot State held on for a 98-93 victory.<\/p>\n Jalen Addison<\/a> led the Vikings with 25 points Tuesday, including 20 points in the final five minutes to help fuel VCSU\u2019s late challenge.<\/p>\n Valley City State and Minot State went shot-for-shot in an entertaining first half as the Beavers opened up a slim 47-40 lead at the break. Minot started the second half with a 14-4 run to open up a 61-44 lead with 15:44 remaining. Back-to-back 3\u2019s by Jaxon Gunville gave the Beavers their largest lead of the game at 71-53 with 9:50 to go.<\/p>\n The Vikings responded with an 8-0 run, book-ended by 3\u2019s from Cayden Rickard<\/a> and Tate Hebrink<\/a>, to cut the deficit to 71-61. Fueled by Addison\u2019s hot hand, the Vikings eventually trimmed the deficit to 85-80 with 2:42 remaining, but could get no closer the rest of the way.<\/p>\n Four Vikings scored in double figures, led by Addison\u2019s 25 points. Kevin Schramm<\/a> had 16 points and eight rebounds. Chris Thompson<\/a> scored 15 points and Joshua Kelly<\/a> added 10 points and three assists.<\/p>\n The Vikings forced Minot State into 22 turnovers while turning it over just 12 times. The Beavers shot 56 percent overall (35-63) and 41 percent on 3\u2019s. Valley City State shot 43 percent overall (29-67) and 39 percent on 3\u2019s (12-31).<\/p>\n Up next: <\/strong>Valley City State takes a road trip to Iowa for two games this weekend.

The lead ballooned to 45-18 at the half as Tower and Madelyn Schmidt<\/a> (FR\/Tappen, ND) combined for 13 points in the quarter, missing just one of their six shots.<\/p>\n A Lexiss Trygg<\/a> (FR\/Virginia, MN) layup gave UJ its third\u00a031-point lead of the second half and the score was 61-30 going into the fourth.<\/p>\n The Saints went cold in the final ten minutes, making just one of 12 shots while the Jimmies shot 8-of-18 and outscored PC 20-4.<\/p>\n Sarah Lenz<\/a> (FR\/Belle Plaine, MN) finished with nine points and Madelyn Schmidt<\/a> added eight.

A Mason Walters<\/a> (SO\/Jamestown, ND) layup put the Jimmies back in front, only to have a breakaway dunk by Travez Nyx tie the game again.<\/p>\n Walters scored the next five UJ points, and a three from Marc Kjos<\/a> (SO\/Lake City, MN) made it 62-54 and forced a Saint timeout with 7:07 left. McDuffey sank a pair of free throws to stop the Jimmie streak, but Will Cordes<\/a> (FR\/Shakopee, MN) drained a three on the next Jamestown trip down the court. Devon Schultz<\/a> (SR\/Arlington, MN) put home a thunderous dunk, Woodford made a layup, and Kjos made the back end of a two-shot foul to put the Jimmies up by 14. The Saints would get no closer than 11 points the rest of the way.<\/p>\n Jamestown was led in scoring by Walters with 33 points, with Kjos and Woodford also in double figures with 12. Walters pulled down a team-high nine rebounds while Schultz added eight and blocked a pair of shots.<\/p>\n The Jimmies, now 2-0 this season, host Trinity Bible College at 7 p.m. Friday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n Nowka was in goal for both of No. 23 Jamestown’s victories last week.

Game 2 is Wednesday in Houston.<\/p>\n MLB-NEWS<\/p>\n Ohtani gets special award from MLB for 2-way All-Star season<\/p>\n UNDATED (AP) \u2014 Shohei Ohtani\u2019s two-way All-Star season with the Los Angeles Angels was so unprecedented that Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred presented a special award to recognize it.<\/p>\n Ohtani was given the Commissioner\u2019s Historic Achievement Award before Game 1 of the World Series. Ohtani had 46 home runs, 100 RBIs and 26 stolen bases this season, his fourth in the majors after playing in his native Japan. He was 9-2 with a 3.18 ERA while striking out 156 batters in 23 pitching starts. Those numbers made him the most accomplished two-way player since Babe Ruth, who last pitched regularly in 1919.<\/p>\n In other MLB news:<\/p>\n Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred exchanged a handshake with players\u2019 union head Tony Clark on the field before the World Series opener and expressed optimism about reaching an agreement before the current deal expires Dec. 1 but did not detail any progress in talks that appear headed to a lockout. There is no evidence of progress toward an agreement.<\/p>\n NBA..<\/p>\n \u2014 Rudy Gobert had 23 points and 16 rebounds and Donovan Mitchell added 22 points to lead the Utah Jazz to a 122-110 win over the Denver Nuggets in a game where Nikola Jokic left with a knee injury. The reigning NBA MVP had 24 points in just 15 first-half minutes before he got hurt. Mike Conley and Bojan Bogdanovic each contributed 15 for the Jazz, who moved to 3-0 on the season. Two minutes before halftime, Jokic banged knees with Gobert and stayed down holding his right leg. He eventually got up with assistance and limped to the locker room. He will be examined again, but initial injury report was a knee contusion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2014 Kemba Walker scored 19 points in his best game with his hometown team and the New York Knicks snapped a 15-game losing streak against the Philadelphia 76ers with a 112-99 victory. Evan Fournier added 18 points in the Knicks\u2019 first victory over Philadelphia since April 12, 2017. Julius Randle had 16 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists. Joel Embiid didn\u2019t have a field goal in the first half of his first career loss to the Knicks.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n UNDATED (AP) \u2014 Stephen Curry scored 23 points and the Golden State Warriors remain unbeaten, rallying in the second half to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 106-98. Andrew Wiggins had 21 points and Damion Lee scored 20 for the Warriors, who have opened the season with four straight wins. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 30 points on 11-of-19 shooting for the winless Thunder. Oklahoma City led by 11 points at halftime and by 12 midway through the third quarter before Golden State began chipping away.<\/p>\n In other Tuesday hoops action:<\/p>\n \u2014 Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook led the Los Angeles Lakers to a 125-121 overtime win over the San Antonio Spurs with LeBron James sidelined. Davis had 35 points and 17 rebounds, and Westbrook had added 33 points and 10 rebounds. Westbrook scored 15 points in the fourth quarter and overtime. Jakob Poeltl added 27 points and 14 rebounds for San Antonio. Lakers coach Frank Vogel said James is \u201cquestionable\u201d for Wednesday\u2019s game at Oklahoma City. Vogel said the injury is in a \u201cdifferent spot\u201d from the right ankle injury James sustained through late last season.<\/p>\n \u2014 Luka Doncic had 26 points and 14 rebounds, Reggie Bullock had his best game with his new team by scoring 16 points and the Dallas Mavericks beat the Houston Rockets 116-106 in coach Jason Kidd\u2019s first home game. Eric Gordon scored 16 points, and Christian Wood had 16 points and 17 rebounds for the Rockets.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n NFL-NEWS<\/p>\n NFL not planning to issue report on Washington Football Team<\/p>\n UNDATED (AP) \u2014 NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says the league is not going to issue a report on its 10-month investigation into allegations the Washington Football Team engaged in harassment and abuse.<\/p>\n Goodell said the league would not make the investigation public because of its promise to protect the identities of those who testified. The commissioner spoke after the first day of meetings for the league\u2019s 32 owners. He said the league wanted to protect the roughly 150 former employees who spoke to lawyer Beth Wilkinson, who conducted the NFL investigation. He noted the NFL released a summary of the investigation and that Washington owner Daniel Snyder has been \u201cheld accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n Elsewhere in the NFL:<\/p>\n \u2014 Houston Texans chairman and CEO Cal McNair has apologized for referring to the novel coronavirus as the \u201cChina virus\u201d during the team\u2019s charity golf tournament in May. The phrase was used frequently by former president Donald Trump. It was considered by many to be insensitive to Asians because it placed blame on China for the COVID-19 pandemic. In a statement, McNair said he made \u201can inappropriate choice of words.\u201d He said he apologized at the time and is apologizing again.<\/p>\n \u2014 The New York Jets placed linebackers Jamien Sherwood and Blake Cashman on injured reserve. The moves Tuesday are the latest hits to an already depleted unit. Both Sherwood and Cashman were hurt last Sunday during New York\u2019s 54-13 loss at New England.<\/p>\n \u2014 Dustin Hopkins was signed as the Los Angeles Chargers kicker on Tuesday after the team waived Tristan Vizcaino. Hopkins was released by Washington on Oct. 20 after seven seasons. He was 12 of 14 on field goals and 10 of 12 on extra points through six games. Hopkins has made 84% of his field-goal attempts during his career.<\/p>\n \u2014 Former New England Patriots safety Patrick Chung has been charged with assault and battery on a family or household member. Prosecutors allege the 34-year-old Chung pushed a woman to the ground and slapped her outside her home. Chung\u2019s lawyer said her client looked forward to being \u201cfully exonerated.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2014 Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin says he considers it a \u201cjoke\u201d that his name has been linked to open college jobs at USC and LSU. Tomlin says he has one of the best jobs in professional sports and has no interest in leaving.<\/p>\n \u2014 The Baltimore Ravens have designated defensive end Derek Wolfe for return, allowing him to resume practicing. Wolfe has been on injured reserve since Oct. 2 because of back problems. Wolfe was a regular starter for eight seasons with the Denver Broncos, then started eight of the 14 games he appeared in last season for the Ravens. He hasn\u2019t played yet this season.<\/p>\n \u2014 Mike Lucci, a Pro Bowl linebacker who played nine seasons with the Detroit Lions, has died. He was 81 years old. Lucci died in Florida after an extended illness. Lucci played on Cleveland\u2019s 1964 NFL championship team. But he spent most of his 12-year career with the Lions, from 1965-73. After his NFL career, Lucci was a radio and TV broadcaster and businessman.<\/p>\n NHL …<\/p>\n<\/div>\n VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) \u2014 Matt Dumba scored his first goal of the season midway through the third period, leading the Minnesota Wild to a 3-2 victory over Vancouver on Tuesday night, spoiling the Canucks’ home opener. Mats Zuccarello and Jonas Brodin also scored for the Wild. Cam Talbot made 22 saves for Minnesota. Alex Chiasson scored on a power play, and Bo Horvat added a goal for the Canucks, who had their two-game win streak halted. Thatcher Demko stopped 27 shots. Vancouver\u2019s home opener was the first game with full capacity at Rogers Arena in 595 days.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u2014 Reilly Smith scored a short-handed goal, Robin Lehner stopped 26 shots and the injury-plagued Vegas Golden Knights snapped a four-game slide with a 3-1 win over the Colorado Avalanche. It was Smith\u2019s seventh short-handed goal for Vegas. Chandler Stephenson also scored and Keegan Kolesar added an empty-netter to seal the win in the matchup between two of the top teams in the West who have hardly been playing at their best. Cale Makar had the only goal for Colorado.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n UNDATED (AP) \u2014 Andrew Mangiapane had two of Calgary\u2019s four goals in the first period, and the Flames extended their winning streak to four games with a 5-3 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n Milan Lucic, Elias Lindholm and Matthew Tkachuk also scored for the Flames. Calgary backup goalie Dan Vladar made 27 saves. Pavel Zacha had two goals and Dawson Mercer also scored for the Devils.<\/p>\n In other action on the ice:<\/p>\n \u2014 The Seattle Kraken got their first home win in franchise history, a 5-1 victory over the Montreal Canadiens. Brandon Tanev scored twice and Jordan Eberle scored his first of the season for Seattle. Tanev has become an unlikely goal-scoring leader for the Kraken with five in seven games. For Montreal, Mike Hoffman scored for a second straight game and Jake Allen had 21 saves, but it was an ugly start to the Canadiens\u2019 West Coast trip.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u2014 Juuse Saros made 28 saves to lead the Nashville Predators to a 3-1 win over the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday night. Matt Duchene, Filip Forsberg and Mikael Granlund scored for Nashville, winners of two straight. Timo Meier had a goal and James Reimer made 23 saves for the Sharks, which have lost two in a row following their season-opening four-game winning streak.<\/p>\n \u2014 Ondrej Palat and Ryan McDonagh scored 10 seconds apart in the second period and the Tampa Bay Lightning picked up their first regulation victory of the season with a 5-1 win over Pittsburgh. Jason Zucker scored Pittsburgh\u2019s lone goal late in the third as the Penguins fell in regulation for the first time in six games this season.<\/p>\n NHL-BLACKHAWKS-INVESTIGATION<\/p>\n Blackhawks GM Bowman resigns after sexual assault probe<\/p>\n CHICAGO (AP) \u2014 Chicago Blackhawks general manager and president of hockey operations Stan Bowman has resigned after an investigation found he was among a group of leaders who failed to respond promptly to allegations that an assistant coach sexually assaulted a player in 2010.<\/p>\n The results of an independent review commissioned by the team were handed over to the Blackhawks on Monday. Team CEO Danny Wirtz called the report released Tuesday \u201cboth disturbing and difficult to read.\u201d The NHL responded by fining the team $2 million for mishandling the sexual assault allegations.<\/p>\n In other NHL moves:<\/p>\n \u2014 The Chicago Blackhawks put captain Jonathan Toews and Henrik Borgstrom in the NHL\u2019s COVID-19 protocol, giving the winless team five players on the list. Toews and Borgstrom missed practice after they joined fellow forwards Patrick Kane and Jujhar Khaira and defenseman Riley Stillman in the protocol. Assistant coaches Marc Crawford and Tomas Mitell are away from the team for the same reason. The use of the COVID-19 list doesn\u2019t necessarily mean any of the players or coaches tested positive. They could have been deemed a close contact of someone who tested positive. The team was 100% vaccinated at the start of training camp.<\/p>\n \u2014 The New York Islanders have signed tough guy forward Ross Johnston to four-year contract extension. Johnston has seven goals and eight assists in 87 games with the Islanders. The Islanders signed him as a free agent during his final season of junior hockey in 2014-15.<\/p>\n SOCCER-SOUTH KOREA-US<\/p>\n Carli Lloyd plays final match for US in rout of South Korea<\/p>\n ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) \u2014 The U.S. women sent Carli Lloyd into retirement with a 6-0 rout of South Korea.<\/p>\n Lloyd didn\u2019t score in her final match, but it hardly mattered because the night was all about her. She was subbed out in the 65th minute and sobbed as she left to a standing ovation by the crowd of 18,115 at Allianz Field in St. Paul, Minnesota. Lloyd\u2019s final match was her 316th with the national team, the second-most international appearances of any player. She scored 134 goals for the United States, third most in team history, along with 61 assists.<\/p>\n GENDER EQUITY REPORT<\/p>\n Second NCAA gender equity report shows spending disparities<\/p>\n UNDATED (AP) \u2014 The NCAA has fallen short of upholding its commitment to gender equity, spending more on male athletes on average than female ones.<\/p>\n That\u2019s according to a second report by a law firm, which released its 153-page report Tuesday night. The report includes a series of recommendations to improve the gap among all sports tournaments, going beyond the first set of recommendations regarding men\u2019s and women\u2019s basketball tournaments. Spending per Division I and national championship participants, excluding basketball, was about $1,700 less for women than men.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n In world and national news…<\/p>\n WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Senate Democrats are unveiling a new billionaires\u2019 tax proposal to help pay for President Joe Biden\u2019s sweeping domestic policy package. The tax proposed Wednesday would be on the gains of those with more than $1 billion in assets or incomes of more than $100 million a year. And the tax could begin to shore up the big social services and climate change plan Biden is racing to finish this week. Biden needs to win over key Democrats, including Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, who had rejected earlier tax plans. Biden says his package will be fully paid for and won’t raise taxes on anyone earning less than $400,000 a year.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n BEIJING (AP) \u2014 Global stock markets are lower after Australian inflation rose to a six-year high and a Chinese newspaper warned more property developers might default on bonds. Investors looked ahead to U.S. economic growth data due out this week. London and Frank opened lower, shrugging off strong U.S. corporate profits. Shanghai, Tokyo and Hong Kong declined. The Australian inflation report highlighted investor fears central banks might feel pressure to cool rising prices by rolling back stimulus that is pushing up stocks. The Chinese newspaper Global Times cited industry analysts as saying more developers were likely to default amid pressure from regulators to cut their debt levels.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) \u2014 Investigators plan to discuss their initial findings in the fatal movie-set shooting in which Alec Baldwin fired a prop gun, killing a cinematographer and wounding the director. The news conference scheduled for Wednesday by Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza and District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies promises the first detailed public comments by investigators about the killing of 42-year-old Halyna Hutchins during a rehearsal at a New Mexico ranch. The shooting has baffled Hollywood professionals and prompted calls to better regulate firearms of sets or even ban them in the age of seamless computer-generated imagery. Court records say that an assistant director grabbed the gun from a cart and indicated the weapon was safe by yelling \u201ccold gun.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n LONDON (AP) \u2014 The U.S. government has asked Britain\u2019s High Court to overturn a judge\u2019s decision that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange should not be sent to the United States to face espionage charges. A lower court judge who refused extradition in January ruled Assange was likely to kill himself if held under harsh U.S. prison conditions. But a lawyer for the U.S. said American authorities have given binding assurances that Assange would be able to serve any sentence he received in his native Australia and wouldn’t be held before trial in a top-security U.S. \u201cSupermax\u201d prison. Assange missed the first part of Wednesday’s hearing but then appeared by video link from prison later Wednesday.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) \u2014 Iran\u2019s president is saying that a cyberattack that shut down gas stations across the nation aimed to get \u201cpeople angry by creating disorder and disruption.\u201d Ebrahim Raisi\u2019s comments, the first since Tuesday\u2019s attack, did not blame anyone specifically for the incident. However, he suggested anti-Iranian forces were behind the cyberattack. He said: \u201cThere should be serious readiness in the field of cyberwar and related bodies should not allow the enemy to follow their ominous aims to make problem in trend of people\u2019s life.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" CSi Weather… REST OF TODAY…Cloudy.
