NCAA hockey
*GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Jack Skille scored 11:13 into the third overtime to give Wisconsin a 1-0 victory over Cornell Sunday night in the second-longest game in NCAA hockey tournament history.
Skille took a pass from Josh Engel from the point and beat goalie David McKee from close range to set off a wild celebration as Wisconsin advanced to the Frozen Four for the first time since 1992.
The Badgers (28-10-3) will face Maine April 6 in Milwaukee, while Boston College and North Dakota will play in the other semifinal at the Bradley Center.
*ALBANY, N.Y. -- John Hopson scored twice, Derek Damon had a goal and an assist and Greg Moore's empty-netter in the final minute ended up being the winner for Maine in a 5-4 decision over Michigan State.
Maine (28-11-2), an at-large selection after losing to Boston College in the Hockey East semifinals, advanced to its 10th Frozen Four. The Black Bears have won two national titles, in 1993 and 1999.
Matt Duffy also scored and Ben Bishop made 33 saves for Maine.
Tim Crowder had two goals and Jim McKenzie and Drew Miller added goals for the Spartans (25-12-8).
*MINNEAPOLIS -- Jessie Vetter and Jinelle Zaugg teamed to help Wisconsin win its first NCAA women's hockey title Sunday with a 3-0 win over Minnesota
Vetter made 32 saves for second straight shutout in the Frozen Four and Zaugg had two power-play goals.
Vetter, who beat St. Lawrence 1-0 in the semifinals on Friday, was selected the tournament's most valuable player. She finished the season with five shutouts.
The Badgers (36-4-1) claimed the school's first women's NCAA title since the cross country team won in 1985.
Williams ties PBAvictory record
INDIANAPOLIS -- After Walter Ray Williams Jr. hoisted the large silver trophy aloft to the cheers of the crowd, he said moving into a tie with the late Earl Anthony for the PBA Tour victory record Sunday was just a matter of catching the breaks.
Williams seemed to catch most of them, beating Pete Weber 236-213 in the final round of the Denny's World Championship for his 41st win in a major PBA tournament. The 46-year-old Williams earned $100,000 and a four-year exemption.
Weber, who was shooting for a record-tying eighth career major, earned $50,000.
Mauresmo keeps rolling
KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. -- The lone American woman left at the Nasdaq-100 Open is Jill Craybas, which says something about Amelie Mauresmo's title chances.
With several top players absent or already eliminated, the No. 1-ranked Mauresmo eased into the fourth round by beating hobbled Marion Bartoli 6-4, 6-0 Sunday.
Craybas knocked off a seeded opponent for the second day in a row, sweeping No. 27 Klara Koukalova 6-1, 6-2. That wasn't quite as monumental as her upset Saturday of defending champion Kim Clijsters, but it was pretty sweet for a 31-year-old tour veteran with one career title.
While the 5-foot-3 Rhode Island native is still standing, fellow Americans Serena and Venus Williams and Lindsay Davenport withdrew before the tournament. Two-time champion Martina Hingis was beaten Sunday by Svetlana Kuznetsova, and No. 2-seeded Clijsters and No. 3 Justine Henin-Hardenne lost their opening matches.
The depleted draw leaves Mauresmo as a heavy favorite to reach the final for the first time.
Also avoiding the upset trend was No. 4 Maria Sharapova, who erased eight set points in the second set and beat Maria Elena Camerin 6-2, 7-6 (2).
The 12th-seeded Kuznetsova overcame a match point to beat No. 24 Hingis 3-6, 6-1, 7-6 (9). Hingis lost before the quarterfinals for only the second time in eight events since returning from a three-year layoff.
