Augusta State wins first NCAA
men's golf championship

Augusta State won its first NCAA Division I men's golf national championship after Oklahoma State's Kevin Tway missed a 3-foot putt on a playoff hole to hand Mitch Krywulycz the match and the Jaguars a 3-1-1 victory Sunday in Ooltewah, Tenn.

Tway had a 4-up lead after 11 holes but bogeyed the 12th. Krywulycz then had birdies on the next three to make the match all square at the 15th hole. The pair matched par for par the rest of the match, sending it to the 19th hole, where Krywulycz made par and Tway bogeyed.

Also: Samantha Camuso crushed a three-run homer and B.B. Bates had a two-run shot as UCLA continued slugging its way through the College World Series with a 5-2 win over Georgia in Oklahoma City.

The Bruins (48-11) earned a spot in the best-of-3 championship series starting tonight against Arizona, which beat Tennessee twice Sunday to advance, winning 8-0 and 5-2.

Former Louisiana-Lafayette football coach and athletic director Nelson Stokley died Saturday at age 66 from complications brought on by Alzheimer's disease, university officials confirmed.

Among the players he guided to success in the NFL were his son, Brandon Stokley, a wide receiver with the Denver Broncos, and quarterback Jake Delhomme, who led the Carolina Panthers to the Super Bowl after the 2003 season.

Packers players upset at being
linked to assault investigation

Teammates staying in a condo with an unidentified Green Bay Packers player who faces sexual assault allegations said they're frustrated that their names have been linked to the incident.

The NFL is watching the case after Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger wound up suspended over a similar claim this offseason.

Authorities in Lake Delton, Wis., said no additional information would be released involving the claims of two women against a player staying at a resort condo early Saturday. Six other players were cleared of criminal activity.

Authorities, team officials and Packers teammates declined to name the player involved. Police chief Tom Dorner said he'd turn over results of the investigation to the district attorney today or Tuesday to consider charges.

"I am upset that we didn't do anything, and our names get thrown out there," backup quarterback Matt Flynn told reporters. "We went and answered as many questions as possible and tried to get it rectified as quickly as possible. There is nothing that I or we did that I am embarrassed about."

The other players cleared were linebackers Clay Matthews and Brad Jones, fullback Korey Hall, guard Josh Sitton and safety Khalil Jones. Several of those players participated in a celebrity softball game Sunday, two days after Matthews hosted a charity golf event in Wisconsin Dells before being questioned early Saturday by police.
