NEW BRITAIN, Conn. (AP) — Jordan Jones scored 18 points to lead Central Connecticut to a 100-51 victory over Johnson & Wales (RI) on Sunday. Jones went 7 of 7 from the field (4 for 4 from 3-point range) for the Blue Devils (9-4). Joe Ostrowsky scored 14 points and added six assists and three steals. Darin Smith Jr. shot 4 for 6 from beyond the arc to finish with 14 points. Roel Figueroa led the way for the Wildcats with 13 points. Azariah Harrison had nine points and RJ Jones scored eight. The Associated Press created this story using technology provided by Data Skrive and data from Sportradar .It's the same old story for women's tennis in New Zealand. The crowd at today's women's ASB Classic draw left bitterly disappointed, as Kiwi hopeful Lulu Sun crashed out in the first round, despite coming in as a genuine contender for the overall title. The world number 40 and fourth seed went down 6-3 3-6 6-3 against Canadian Rebecca Marino in an admittedly entertaining match, albeit one punctuated by a lengthy rain delay. Sun - who switched allegiance from Switzerland to New Zealand earlier this year - started the match strongly with two aces, but found trouble from then on finding the mark with her forehand. Marino broke to lead 3-1 and played the more consistent tennis to take out the first set. The rain came just after the start of the start of the second set and the break seemed to favour Sun, who fought back to take the second set 6-3 and looked to be on course to take the match easily. But Marino came firing back with a love game to open the third set, then three break points off Sun's serve to take a 2-0 lead. Sun broke back but a bad double fault set up another break for Marino to make it 3-1, which became 5-1. Despite some late Sun heroics that kept the big crowd on the edge of their seats when she saved two match points, it was just a matter of time before the Canadian closed out the match. The result will be a very hollow feeling for NZ tennis fans, who have been waiting a generation for a contender in the women's singles. Sun will go on to bigger and better things, unfortunately we'll have to wait another year to see if she can do it on home soil. In the day's earlier match on centre court, Danish fifth seed Clara Tauson advanced safely with a 6-2 6-3 win over Italian Lucrezia Stefani.David D. O’Keefe, PhD, has been named vice president of research development at Sanford Burnham Prebys. His duties will include working with scientists to maximize research funding and increase research capacity at the Institute by nurturing a culture of grant writing and collaboration. He officially joined Sanford Burnham Prebys December 16, 2024. “I’m extremely excited to join the Sanford Burnham Prebys team and work with our visionary scientists to help launch and support bold new research programs,” said O’Keefe. “Sanford Burnham Prebys has a long history of translating scientific innovation into improved patient outcomes, and I look forward to helping build upon this discovery pipeline.” O’Keefe will oversee a team responsible for advancing the Institute’s mission by identifying research trends, developing diverse and sustainable funding strategies, and helping faculty craft compelling grant proposals. His initial focus will be to support nearly one dozen new assistant professors recruited to Sanford Burnham Prebys over the past 18 months, thanks to a transformational gift from philanthropist T. Denny Sanford. “Part of Dave’s portfolio will be to help ensure these new, amazing scientists, all still in the early stages of their careers, have strong strategies for obtaining funding from federal, state, private and philanthropic sponsors,” said Kurt Marek, PhD, who was appointed the institute’s first chief research development officer in August. In addition, O’Keefe will spearhead development of large, complex projects and manage proposals for scientific efforts that span disciplines, including the institute’s four disease-focused centers and two enabling technology centers. He will also provide guidance and hands-on mentorship to graduate students and postdoctoral scholars at Sanford Burnham Prebys as they begin to secure their own training grants and funding support. O’Keefe comes to Sanford Burnham Prebys from the Salk Institute where he served most recently as senior director of research development, helping to devise funding strategies to support both individual investigators and Salk’s scientific priorities. Prior to his tenure at Salk (2014-2024), O’Keefe was a freelance science writer and a postdoctoral fellow and staff scientist at the Fred Hutch Cancer Center in Seattle, where he conducted independent research characterizing the genes and signaling pathways that control tissue morphogenesis in fruit flies, a model organism in science. Morphogenesis is the biological process by which a cell, tissue, or organism adopts a particular shape during development. O’Keefe received his doctorate in neurosciences from the University of California San Diego and Bachelor of Sciences degree in biological sciences from Stanford University.

Nebraska will be trying to preserve its perfect in-state record when it hosts South Dakota on Wednesday night in a nonconference game in Lincoln, Neb. The Cornhuskers (4-1) are 3-0 at home and also won Friday at then-No. 14 Creighton, beating their in-state rivals on the road for the second straight time. But the last time they did that, in 2022, they followed that win with a 16-point loss at Indiana to open Big Ten Conference play. "Believe me, we've addressed a lot of things," Nebraska coach Fred Hoiberg said. "A lot of people are saying some really positive things. You've got to find a way to put that behind you. I've liked how our team has responded and come back to work after that great win at Creighton." Brice Williams leads the Cornhuskers with 18.2 points per game and was one of five players in double figures against Creighton. Juwan Gary topped the list with 16. South Dakota (6-2) comes to town off a 112-50 home win Monday night over Randall, the third non-Division I school it has beat. The Coyotes' last game against a D1 opponent was Friday at Southern Indiana, resulting in a 92-83 loss. This will be South Dakota's second nonconference game against a Big Ten opponent, after a 96-77 loss at Iowa on Nov. 12. In December, the Coyotes also visit Santa Clara, hovering near the top 100 in KenPom adjusted efficiency, before jumping into Big Sky play. "The schedule is very good and that should help us," third-year South Dakota coach Eric Peterson said before the season. "We have some good nonconference games that should help prepare us for the end of the season." Nebraska has held four of its opponents to 67 or fewer points, with Saint Mary's the only one to top that number in the Cornhuskers' lone loss. Opponents are shooting 38.1 percent this season. South Dakota shot below 40 percent in its two previous games before shooting 62 percent against Randall. Isaac Bruns, who scored 20 to lead South Dakota in the Randall game, paces the Coyotes with 12.9 points per game. --Field Level MediaiShares MSCI South Korea ETF (NYSEARCA:EWY) Position Reduced by OneDigital Investment Advisors LLC
