UND HOCKEY

 

MINNEAPOLIS (UND) – Top-ranked Minnesota erased a late deficit before striking just 21 seconds into overtime to rally past No. 7 North Dakota, 3-2, on Friday night from 3M Arena at Mariucci from Minneapolis, Minn. UND (2-2-1) carried a 2-1 lead late into the final period, but Mason Nevers came off the bench as an extra attacker and fired one past goaltender Drew DeRidder with just 1:24 to play to send the game into an extra session. In the overtime period, Matthew Knies was able to slip by a defenseman and tuck it through the legs of DeRidder to give the Golden Gophers (4-1-0) their second win over North Dakota in their last seven tries.

 

DeRidder was outstanding in net for the Fighting Hawks, stopping 35-of-38 shots tossed his way. The Fenton, Mich., native saw 15 shots in the second period and 14 in the final frame to tally his most saves in a North Dakota uniform. Jake Schmaltz finished with two points, scoring the game’s opening goal before adding an assist on Riese Gaber’s power play goal late in the second period for his eighth multi-point game of his career. Gaber wired home his fourth goal of the season, third on the power play, to extend his scoring streak to three straight games.

 

North Dakota and Minnesota will close out the series tonight from 3M Arena at Mariucci at 7 p.m.

TIMBERWOLVES-JAZZ

 

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Rudy Gobert grabbed the pass from Karl-Anthony Towns in the paint and soared to a wide-open basket for what would’ve given Minnesota the tying dunk with 34 seconds left in overtime. Mike Conley stopped his close friend and former teammate short of the rim, producing another promising sequence for the upstart Utah Jazz. Jordan Clarkson scored 29 points on 7-for-12 shooting from 3-point range to lead the rally, and the Jazz outlasted Gobert and the Timberwolves 132-126 on Friday night. Lauri Markkanen had 24 points and 13 rebounds and got a leaner in the lane to fall with 12 seconds left in the extra period to put the Jazz up by four. Conley gave the Jazz the lead for good with a 3-pointer with 1:01 left. Then he foiled Gobert’s dunk, and Gobert — who finished with nine points and 23 rebounds — missed both free throws to leave the Jazz lead at 128-126. Anthony Edwards scored 30 points for Minnesota, Karl-Anthony Towns had 27 points and D’Angelo Russell added 23 points including the tying jumper with 4.4 seconds left in the fourth quarter. Jaylen Nowell had 18 points for the Timberwolves, who led by as many as 17 points in the first half.

MLB PLAYOFFS

 

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Kyle Schwarber homered and Jean Segura hit a two-run single to lead the Philadelphia Phillies to a 4-2 win over the San Diego Padres for a 2-1 lead in the National League Championship Series. Segura had made an error earlier in the game that cost the Phillies a run and also got picked off first base. Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins committed a two-base error that led to an unearned run for the Padres.
