WINTERBERG, Germany -- Alex Gough slid just short of her second World Cup medal of the season after finishing fourth at the luge World Cup in Winterberg, Germany on Sunday. The 26-year-old from Calgary, who won the bronze medal at the season-opener in Norway, could not break Germanys domination of the podium and was forced into fourth with a two-run time of one minute 54.382 seconds. "We just werent quick enough on the start today," said Wolfgang Staudinger, the head coach of Canadas luge team. "To win medals it is a tough battle and you have to be on the ball every single day. Alex is in the mix and if we all do our job right I know we can do this." The Germans swept the womens luge podium for the second straight week. Natalie Geisenberger finished on top with a time of 1:53.457. Tatjana Hufner was second at 1:53.897, while Anke Wischnewski grabbed the bronze at 1:54.101. Two other Calgary-based Canadian women enjoyed their best results of the season. Kimberley McRae found her way into the top-10 for the first time this year. McRae clocked a 10th-place time of 1:54.733. Arianne Jones also had a solid outing, placing 16th at 1:55.028. Calgarys Jordan Smith rounded out the Canadian contingent in 23rd with a time of 1:59.676. The Canadian squad of Gough, Sam Edney and Tristan Walker and Justin Snith were leading the team relay event in the afternoon until they were disqualified after the doubles sled left the start gate too early. Geisenberger leads the standings with 300 points, ahead of Huefner (200) and Wischnewski (186). However, a mistake from Geisenberger at the start of the team relay later Sunday cost Germany the chance of making it a perfect 4-for-4 in gold medals from the weekend. Italys Sandra Gasparini, Dominik Fischnaller and Christian Oberstolz with Patrick Gruber took advantage and won in a track record combined time of 2:25.874. Hansen and American team mates Greg West, Christian Niccum and Jayson Terdiman were second, ahead of Austrias Nina Reithmayer, Daniel Pfister and Peter Penz with Georg Fischler. The Germans had to make do with ninth. On Saturday, Germanys Chris Eissler was the surprise winner of the mens singles race on his World Cup debut, and world champions Tobias Wendl and Tobias Arlt claimed their second doubles victory of the season.

Louis Cardinals continued their offensive tear with a 9-5 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in the opener of a four-game series. Alex Tuch Jersey . Louis, MO (SportsNetwork.Tempe, AZ (SportsNetwork.com) - The eighth-ranked team in the nation hits the road on Thursday, as the Runnin Utes of Utah challenge the Arizona State Sun Devils in Pac-12 Conference action at Wells Fargo Arena. Since losing to 10th-ranked Kansas by just three points a little over a month ago, the Runnin Utes have rattled off six consecutive victories. Eight days ago, the Utes posted a commanding 74-49 win over Colorado at the Huntsman Center, moving the program to 3-0 in conference play. Thanks to suffering just two defeats, the other coming against nationally- ranked and former Mountain West Conference foe San Diego State, the Utes find themselves with their highest ranking since finishing the 1998-99 campaign as the sixth-best team in the country. Over on the other side, the Sun Devils have managed to break even after 16 games, but there have been some unexpected bumps in the road. When it comes to conference play, ASU is still waiting to break through, having lost all three Pac-12 decisions. The latest setback took place last Saturday as the team bowed to Oregon, 59-56, in the last of a three-game conference road trip. Utah leads the overall series by a count of 28-20, but is just 9-13 in true road dates versus the Sun Devils. The most recent meeting took place last February with the Utes crushing ASU by a score of 86-63. Somehow Colorado managed to move out to a four-point lead in the first few minutes against the Utes last week, but that was only a temporary setback for thhe hosts as they surged ahead by double figures at the break, and then crushed the Buffs in the second half of the 25-point decision.dddddddddddd Brandon Taylor led three players in double figures with 14 points, followed by Delon Wright with 13, to go along with six assists and four steals. Off the bench, Dakarai Tucker checked in with 11 points for a squad that forced 18 turnovers and held Colorado to only 39.5 percent shooting from the floor. Wright, who was recently named to the Wooden Award Midseason Top-25, leads the Utes in scoring with 14.9 ppg, stemming from his impressive 56.9 percent shooting from the floor overall, and not so much his 28.6 percent effort out on the perimeter. But more than just a shooter, Wright is also keen on getting his teammates involved at the offensive end, and his 85 assists are proof of that. He is also responsible for 4.7 rpg and 36 steals, which shows that he is willing to do whatever it takes to make Utah successful. In a game that featured 12 ties and a staggering 18 lead changes, the Sun Devils didnt do themselves any favors by converting only eight field goals in the first half during the three-point setback at Oregon over the weekend. The visitors also made just 3-of-17 tries from 3-point range and turned the ball over 15 times, although leading scorer Shaquielle McKissc (18 points) was one of only two players not saddled with a miscue. Eric Jacobsen accounted for 13 points as he converted all six of his field goal tries. ' ' '
