COLLEGE ATHLETICS

Hawaii QB Alexander lost for rest of season

Hawaii quarterback Greg Alexander will miss the rest of the season after injuring his left knee Wednesday in a loss at Louisiana Tech.

The school said Alexander will have surgery today to repair "major ligament damage."

Entering the Louisiana Tech game, the senior led the nation in total offense (446 yards) and ranked second in passing (411.3 yards).

Alexander threw for 199 yards and two interceptions before being knocked out of the game late in the third quarter. After scrambling out of the pocket, Alexander took a jarring hit from Adrien Cole near the sideline.

Also: Notre Dame basketball's hopes of bouncing back after a disappointing finish last year took a hit when forward Scott Martin learned he will miss the season because of a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.

The 6-foot-8-inch Martin, a transfer from Purdue expected to start after sitting last season, injured the knee Thursday during a preseason workout when he drove into the lane and crumpled to the court, coach Mike Brey said.

The Irish had been counting on Martin to provide an offensive spark. Brey has called Martin "one of the most gifted offensive guys" he has had in his time at Notre Dame.

Forward Jenna Larkin scored the winning goal with 38 seconds left as the UNLV women's soccer team beat Seattle 2-1 in the San Diego State Classic.

Katherine Orellana also scored for the Rebels (4-3-4).

Thompson, 14, shares lead in LPGA tourney

Ninth-grader Alexis Thompson shot a 3-under-par 69 for a share of the lead with top-ranked Lorena Ochoa and three others after the second round of the Navistar LPGA Classic in Prattville, Ala.

The 14-year-old Thompson, from Coral Springs, Fla., is trying to become the second-youngest winner in LPGA Tour history -- and the youngest in a full event.

Marlene Hagge won the 1952 Sarasota Open 14 days after her 18th birthday and took the Bakersfield Open two months later, but both were 18-hole events. Paula Creamer won the 2005 Sybase Classic at 18 years, 9 months to become the youngest winner of a full tournament.

Ochoa (68), Laura Davies (65), Yani Tseng (63) and Giulia Sergas (65) matched Thompson at 10-under 134.

Also: Vaughn Taylor shot his second straight 67 to take a one-shot lead after two rounds of the Turning Stone Resort Championship in Verona, N.Y.

Taylor was at 10-under 134 after another cold, wet day at Atunyote Golf Club.

Tied for second were Matt Kuchar (68), rookie Leif Olson (69) and Nicholas Thompson (67), whose 14-year-old sister, Alexis, was tied for the lead at the Navistar LPGA Classic in Alabama.

Rookie Scott Piercy (66), a Bonanza High School product, Fredrik Jacobson (67) and Bo Van Pelt (66) were tied for fifth at 136.

Tom Watson shot a bogey-free 68 to take a two-shot lead over four players at the halfway point of the Senior Players Championship in Timonium, Md..

Watson made two birdies, the second with a 50-foot putt on No. 13. Seeking his first win of the year on the Champions Tour, the 60-year-old Watson completed 36 holes at 6-under 134.

The foursome behind Watson at 136 included Craig Stadler, who fired a 65, Jay Haas (70), Bob Tway (68) and Mark Wiebe (67).

Rory McIlroy birdied the last two holes on the Old Course at St. Andrews, Scotland, for a 7-under 65 and a share of the lead at the halfway point of the Dunhill Links Championship.

The 20-year-old from Northern Ireland made a 15-foot birdie putt at the "Road Hole" 17th, then drove the green at the famous 357-yard closing hole and two-putted from 40 feet.

He was at 11-under 133 with Richie Ramsay (66) of Scotland and Michael Hoey (66) of Northern Ireland.

Forbes says Tiger Woods has become the first athlete to surpass $1 billion in career earnings.

The magazine estimates that golf's top-ranked player crested the plateau when he made $10 million for winning the FedEx Cup on Sunday.

Kenny Perry's mother died after a long battle with blood cancer. He plans to play in the Presidents Cup next week in San Francisco at his family's request.

Mildred Perry, 79, died Thursday in Franklin, Ky., of multiple myeloma.

Chicago man arrested in Andrews video case

A Chicago-area man accused of taking surreptitious nude videos of ESPN reporter Erin Andrews in a hotel room was arrested at Chicago's O'Hare airport, the FBI said in a statement.

Michael David Barrett, 48, faces federal charges of interstate stalking for taking the videos, posting the videos online and trying to sell them to celebrity Web site TMZ.com, the FBI said. He's scheduled to make an initial court appearance today in U.S. District Court in Chicago.

The charges were filed in Los Angeles, where TMZ.com is based. Andrews is identified in the federal complaint as E.A.

Barrett, of Westmont, Ill., was arrested after returning from a trip to Buffalo, N.Y., authorities said.

Seven of the eight videos posted online were taken through a modified door peephole while Andrews was alone and undressed in hotel rooms in Nashville, Tenn., in September 2008. Investigators think the eighth video was taken in a hotel in Milwaukee in July 2008.

Also: NBA referees will be able to use instant replay on shot-clock and out-of-bounds calls this season.

Referees will be allowed to check replay to see if the 24-second clock expired before a successful shot or a foul.

They can also consult video during the last two minutes of regulation and any overtime period to determine which player last touched the ball prior to it going out of bounds.

Maria Sharapova won her first tournament since returning from a 10-month injury layoff when Jelena Jankovic retired because of an arm injury in the first set of the Toray Pan Pacific final in Tokyo.

Sharapova led 5-2 at Ariake Colosseum when the seventh-seeded Serb took a timeout to have her right arm examined by the trainer. Jankovic returned to the court and lost the first two points of the eighth game before retiring.

Just 15 months after they were married, golf star Greg Norman and tennis great Chris Evert announced they have separated.

The announcement came three days before Norman leads the International team at the Presidents Cup in San Francisco, where wives of the captains take on a visible role.

Norman and Evert did not say whether they planned to divorce.
