Preserving Christmas magic with the HHFHASTINGS, Neb. — Behind a stout defensive stand in the second half, the Dakota Wesleyan women’s basketball team returned to the win column on Saturday. The No. 17-ranked Tigers pulled away from Great Plains Athletic Conference rival Hastings 65-53 at Lynn Farrell Arena, outscoring the Broncos 30-17 in the second half and holding them to only 5-of-28 shooting during that span. ADVERTISEMENT Out of the break trailing by one, Rylee Rosenquist put the Tigers in front to start the third quarter, beginning a quick 7-2 scoring run. However, early foul trouble kept Hastings (6-1, 3-1 GPAC) in the game, as Kiernan Paulk sank a pair of free throws to reclaim the lead for the Broncos. Not deterred, DWU went on a 10-4 run to close out the quarter, capped by the second of Taliyah Hayes’ made three-point baskets. In the fourth, Avery Broughton and Shalayne Nagel blocked a pair of shots, as Hastings only made three baskets total, despite forcing five Tigers turnovers in the quarter and 16 for the game. DWU edged Hastings in the turnover battle 18-16, while posting higher shooting percentages from the field, 3-point line and foul line. Emma Yost had a game-high 16 points with seven rebounds, followed by Broughton with 14 points. Mya Wilson tallied 13 points and Rosenquist finished with 10 points and a game-best eight rebounds. Macy Bryant and Adyson Mlnarik topped the Broncos scoring with eight points each. Bryant also recorded three steals. Rachel Goodon had seven points and eight rebounds, and Paulk finished with seven points, four rebounds and an assist off the bench.

After months of anticipation and speculation, the long-awaited hearing on Manchester City's 115 allegations has finally come to a close. The club, known for its success on the pitch, has been under scrutiny for alleged violations of financial fair play regulations. The hearing, held in front of an independent panel, was a crucial moment for both the club and football fans around the world.
In the wake of the arrest, the victim's family, colleagues, and the larger healthcare community mourn the senseless attack and rally together in support of the victim's recovery. The incident has sent shockwaves through the industry, prompting a reexamination of security measures and safety protocols to ensure the well-being of healthcare professionals.COPPER MOUNTAIN, Colo. — For a pair of lower-level downhill events, this sure had plenty of Olympic medal-capturing and World Cup-winning ski racers. The stage belonged to Lindsey Vonn, the 40-year-old who took another step on her comeback trail Saturday with her first races in nearly six years. Vonn wasn't particularly speedy and finished in the middle of the pack on a cold but sunny day at Copper Mountain. Times and places weren't the mission, though, as much as getting used to the speed again and gaining the necessary points to compete on the World Cup circuit this season. Vonn accomplished both, finishing 24th in the first downhill race of the day and 27th in the second. She posted on social media after the FIS races that she had enough points to enter World Cup events. The timing couldn't be more perfect — the next stop on the women's circuit is Beaver Creek, Colorado, in a week. Vonn, who used to own a home in nearby Vail, hasn't committed to any sort of timetable for a World Cup return. People are also reading... “Today was a solid start and I had a blast being in start with my teammates again!” Vonn wrote on X. “While I’m sure people will speculate and say I’m not in top form because of the results, I disagree. This was training for me. I’m still testing equipment and getting back in the groove.” Lindsey Vonn reacts after her run at a downhill skiing race at Copper Mountain Ski Resort on Saturday in Copper Mountain, Colo. John Locher, Associated Press Her competition — a veritable who's who of high-profile ski racers — applauded her efforts. “I don't expect her to come back and win — just that she comes back and she has fun,” said Federica Brignone of Italy, a former overall World Cup champion and three-time Olympic medalist. “She's having fun, and she’s doing what she loves. That’s the best thing that she could do.” In the first race on a frigid morning, Vonn wound up 1.44 seconds behind the winning time of 1 minute, 5.79 seconds posted by Mirjam Puchner of Austria. In her second race through the course later in the morning, Vonn was 1.53 seconds behind Cornelia Huetter of Austria, who finished in 1:05.99. Huetter is the reigning season-long World Cup downhill champion. “It’s really nice to compare with her again, and nice to have her (racing) again,” Huetter said. “For sure, for the skiing World Cup, we have a lot of more attention. It's generally good for all racers because everyone is looking.” Also in the field were Nadia Delago of Italy, who won a bronze medal in downhill at the 2022 Beijing Olympics, and Puchner, the Olympic silver winner in super-G in Beijing. In addition, there was Marta Bassino of Italy, a winner of the super-G at the 2023 world championships, and two-time Olympic champion Michelle Gisin of Switzerland. “For me, it was really a training, but it was fun to have a World Cup race level right here,” Gisin said. “It was a crazy race.” Vonn remains a popular figure and took the time after each run to sign autographs for young fans along with posing for photos. When she left the sport, Vonn had 82 World Cup race victories, which stood as the record for a woman and within reach of the all-time Alpine record of 86 held by Swedish standout Ingemar Stenmark. The women’s mark held by Vonn was surpassed in January 2023 by Mikaela Shiffrin, who now has 99 wins — more than any Alpine ski racer in the history of the sport. Shiffrin is currently sidelined after a crash in a giant slalom event in Killington, Vermont, last weekend. Vonn’s last major race was in February 2019, when she finished third in a downhill during the world championships in Sweden. The three-time Olympic medalist left the circuit still near the top of her game. But all the broken arms and legs, concussions and torn knee ligaments took too big a toll and sent her into retirement. She had a partial knee replacement last April and felt good enough to give racing another shot. “It's very impressive to see all the passion that Lindsey still has,” Gisin said. Also racing Saturday was 45-year-old Sarah Schleper, who once competed for the United States but now represents Mexico. Schleper was the next racer behind Vonn and they got a chance to share a moment between a pair of 40-somethings still racing. “I was like, ‘Give me some tips, Lindsey,’” Schleper said. “She’s like, ‘Oh, it’s a highway tuck, the whole thing.’ Then she’s like, ‘It’s just like the good old days.’" Sports Week in Photos: NBA Cup, NFL snow game and more Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, foreground right, dives toward the end zone to score past San Francisco 49ers defensive end Robert Beal Jr. (51) and linebacker Dee Winters during the second half of an NFL football game in Orchard Park, N.Y., Sunday, Dec. 1, 2024.

Tonight: Unexpected guests? This week: Past secrets might be revealed. (Oops.)  Keep an eye on issues related to shared property, inheritances, insurance matters and banking. Know what’s happening. Very likely, something you didn’t expect could impact these areas, and if you are not aware of it, it could cost you money. Or it might be a windfall. Tonight: Propaganda? This week: It’s good to see old friends again.  This is a tricky day, because people who are closest to you are quite unpredictable. They might be charming, or they might not be. They might be moody. It’s also possible that you will be introduced to someone who is unusual or highly individualistic. Tonight: Check your finances. This week: Parents and authority figures from the past.
