ST. CLOUD — Much like it was on Friday, No. 4 Minnesota Duluth women's hockey found itself playing from behind for much of Saturday's game against St. Cloud State. However, UMD improved upon Friday's result, scoring not once, but three times in the third period on Saturday to finish off a 3-1 victory and five of a possible six points from the weekend WCHA series at the Herb Brooks National Hockey Center. ADVERTISEMENT With the victory, the Bulldogs will go into the holiday break no worse than tied for second in the WCHA standings pending the outcome of a Minnesota-St. Thomas game later Saturday. The Gophers will match UMD's 27 league points if they achieve a regulation win. Like Friday, St. Cloud scored in the first period, this time as Taylor Larson followed a rebound of an Alice Sauriol shot on the rush at 11:17. The second period was scoreless for the second game in a row. Olivia Mobley got the Bulldogs going again, this time shorthanded. The fifth-year forward collected a loose puck at the blue line, skating around one SCSU defenseman, cutting in front of a second and firing a shot on goal past goalie Sanni Ahola before a third arrived, tying the contest at 1 with 4:29 elapsed in the period. This time, UMD found an answer to the deadlock from captain Clara Van Wieren, who skated into the offensive zone alone and released a shot from the blue line that fooled Ahola for a go-ahead goal with 3:27 to play. The goal puts Van Wieren even with Mobley for the team lead in goals with nine, and in the team lead in points with 18. Mary Kate O'Brien added an empty-netter with 38.1 seconds left. Eve Gascon made 27 saves for UMD, while Ahola finished with 26. The Bulldogs (11-5-2, 8-4-2 WCHA) will take a six-game unbeaten streak into a 26-day holiday break. Their next six games are at home, starting with a rescheduled non-conference series vs. Syracuse on Jan. 2-3 and followed by a rematch with SCSU in Duluth on Jan. 10-11. ADVERTISEMENT
Maura Higgins has put an end to the swirling dating rumours linking her with Pete Wicks. On tonight's episode of I'm A Celebrity, the Love Island favourite cleared the air while chatting with campmate GK Barry. As they washed their clothes in the creek, Maura recalled being quizzed by the media about her relationship status with Pete, to which she firmly replied: "You know more than me! No, I'm single. People can date and not be in a relationship and take things slow." She also expressed her views on involving the press early on, questioning: "What's the point in getting them involved too soon, when you just don't know where it's gonna go, you know?" Grace shared her own experiences of keeping her relationship with footballer Ella Rutherford under wraps, prompting Maura to reveal that she and Pete had already been caught by paparazzi. She admitted: "Well we've already been papped, tongues down each other's necks and we had no idea!" This isn't the first time Maura has spoken about her personal life on the show; in Sunday night's episode, she disclosed that she was seeing someone before heading to Australia, clarifying, "I am but I was seeing someone before I came in, but I'm not in a relationship." When Dean McCullough inquired if her romantic interest was also a public figure, she confirmed: "Yeah." Speculation about Maura and Pete began in August after they were seen looking close in London, and again in October at the National Television Awards, fuelling further speculation about their relationship. Both have repeatedly denied the rumours, insisting they are just friends. Pete has been publicly supporting Maura on social media during her time on the show, posting stories with encouraging messages of support. Maura joined the jungle a week into the show alongside fellow latecomer Reverend Richard Coles, and they were sent to the jungle junkyard. They had to trick the main camp into believing they were living in poor conditions, but in reality, they had access to luxuries including a fridge, a double bed and a gas cooker.

PARIS >> President-elect Donald Trump, French President Emmanuel Macron and Ukraine’s leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy held talks in Paris today, brought together by a grand ceremony to mark the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral. Macron convened the trilateral meeting ahead of an evening event he was hosting to celebrate the cathedral’s restoration five years after it was ravaged by fire. Zelenskyy and European leaders have been concerned that Trump, who takes office next month, could withdraw U.S. military aid to Ukraine at a crucial juncture in Kyiv’s battle to repel Russia. Zelenskyy said the meeting was “good and productive” and that the three men agreed to continue working together. “President Trump is, as always, resolute. I thank him,” Zelenskyy wrote on social media platform X. “We all want this war to end as soon as possible and in a just way.” Trump was on his first trip overseas since winning last month’s presidential election and the visit to Paris was seen as offering Macron an early opportunity to play the role of mediator between Europe and the incoming president, a role the French leader has relished in the past. Macron is a strong supporter of the NATO alliance and Ukraine’s fight, while Trump feels European nations need to pay more for their common defense. He has said a negotiated settlement is needed to end the Ukraine war. Arriving at the Elysee Palace, Trump told Macron they had enjoyed “really great success” working together during his first term in office. “And it certainly seems like the world is going a little crazy right now. And we’ll be talking about that,” Trump added. Trump gave Zelenskyy a firm handshake and patted him on the back before Macron stood between them and Trump smiled for the camera. The meeting between the three men lasted about 20 minutes. By inviting Trump to the reopening of Notre Dame, Macron was repeating a personalized approach that had some limited success during Trump’s first term, said Heather Conley, senior adviser to the board of the German Marshall Fund, which promotes U.S.-European ties. “Mr. Macron knows Mr. Trump greatly appreciates the pomp, circumstance and grandeur of state and he provides it to him in abundance,” Conley said. Trump later joined world leaders, royals and business tycoons for a ceremony that got underway with the tolling of Notre Dame’s great bourdon bell. Trump, who will be sworn in on Jan. 20, has already held discussions with a number of world leaders and members of his team are trying to get up to speed on a number of world crises, including Ukraine and the Middle East. Trump, a Republican, was in power when Notre Dame was devastated by fire in 2019 and visited France four times while president from 2017-2021, including D-Day anniversary ceremonies in 2019. “Symbolically, both Mr. Trump’s presidency and Notre Dame have been restored in approximately the same time period. His visit to Paris is also the opening salvo of his return to the world stage, further diminishing the final days of the Biden administration,” Conley said. President Joe Biden’s wife, first lady Jill Biden, was representing the United States at the Notre Dame event. Republican strategist Doug Heye said Trump would convey a statesman-like position in Paris. “It’s not images of him at Mar-a-Lago,” Heye said, referring to Trump’s Florida home where he has spent the bulk of his time since the election. “This is the biggest event of the world and he’ll be peer-to-peer with other leaders.” Macron, who is grappling with a deep political crisis at home after his government was ousted by parliament this week, pursued a non-confrontational approach toward Trump during the latter’s first term, hoping that by engaging with him he could win concessions. But as the years passed, policy decisions on climate, taxation and Iran in particular caused friction between the two leaders. By the end it was a more fractious relationship. There could well be disputes in Trump’s second administration, fueled by Trump’s desire to impose sweeping tariffs on Europe and other U.S. trade partners, and disagreement over how to handle the Ukraine-Russia conflict. Macron invited Trump to the annual Bastille Day military parade in Paris in July 2017, a spectacle that inspired Trump to order up his own military parade in Washington to mark America’s Independence Day in 2019. Trump hosted Macron at a White House state dinner in 2018, but a year later the two quarreled over comments Macron made about the state of NATO. “Trump coming to Paris is a ‘good coup’ by Emmanuel Macron,” said Gerard Araud, a former French ambassador to Washington. “It is indispensable to have a direct relationship with the only man who counts in the Trump administration, Trump himself.”
