Tessa Janecke scored the winner as the United States prevailed in overtime over defending champion Canada 4-3 to win the women’s ice hockey world championship on Sunday.

Janecke struck with 2:54 left in overtime for the Americans to claim the 11th title at the worlds.

Abbey Murphy and Taylor Heise scored a goal and had an assist, and Caroline Harvey also scored for the U.S.

“Shock and awe,” U.S. goalie Gwyneth Philips said after the drama. “I’m ecstatic.”

The U.S. cruised through the tournament, winning the preliminary group with four wins from four, including a 2-1 win over Canada, and eliminating Germany in the quarterfinals and Finland in the semifinals.

The 12-day, 10-nation tournament in the southern Czech city of Ceske Budejovice represented the final major international tune-up before the 2026 Winter Games.

Former Tennessee QB Iamaleava commits to UCLA >> Nico Iamaleava says he’s heading to UCLA, a week after Tennessee announced the quarterback who helped the Volunteers reach last season’s College Football Playoff was no longer with the program.

Iamaleava issued an Instagram post of himself in a UCLA uniform.

Iamaleava completed 63.8% of his passes for 2,616 yards with 19 touchdowns and five interceptions last year in his lone season as Tennessee’s starter while helping the Volunteers go 10-3. He also rushed for 358 yards and three touchdowns on 109 carries.

He went 14 of 31 for 104 yards and rushed for 47 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries in Tennessee’s 42-17 first-round playoff loss to eventual national champion Ohio State.

Baseball

Marlins’ Conine placed on 60-day IL >> Miami Marlins outfielder Griffin Conine was placed on the 60-day injured list after dislocating his left shoulder during an 11-10 loss against the Philadelphia Phillies.

The injury occurred in the sixth inning when Conine dove headfirst into second base on an RBI double, his team-leading seventh of the season. He immediately clutched his left arm and left the game with a trainer.

Conine, 27, had emerged as a key contributor in the Marlins’ lineup, leading the team in slugging percentage (.438) and OPS (.790) over 71 plate appearances.

Golf

Thomas wins RBC heritage >> Justin Thomas ended nearly three years without a victory by making a birdie putt from just outside 20 feet in a playoff at Harbour Town to beat Andrew Novak in the RBC Heritage.

Thomas played bogey-free in dry, fast conditions for a 3-under 68, making a 25-foot birdie putt on the 16th that looked like it might be the winner until Novak, who grew up in South Carolina, matched him with a big birdie of his own for a 68.

Novak, who has had three good chances to win in his last 14 tournaments, had an 8-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole in regulation that was left all the way.

In the playoff, Novak missed from just inside 35 feet, setting the stage for Thomas.

Higo wins puntacana championship >> Garrick Higgo took advantage of Joel Dahmen’s late meltdown to win the windy Corales Puntacana Championship for his second PGA Tour victory.

Higgo got an unexpected share of the lead when Dahmen missed a 1-foot par putt on the par-3 17th for his second straight bogey, and won when Dahmen couldn’t get an 8-foot par attempt to fall on the par-4 18th.

Playing in the group ahead of Dahmen, Higgo also bogeyed the 17th, then parred the 18th for an even-par 72 and a 14-under 274 total. Dahmen shot 76 after leading after each of the first three rounds in the event he won in 2021 for his lone tour title.

Linblad wins JM EAGLE LA Championship on LPGA Tour >> Ingrid Lindblad won the JM Eagle LA Championship in her third start as an LPGA Tour member, avoiding a playoff when fellow rookie Akie Iwai bogeyed the final hole at El Caballero Country Club.

Playing a group ahead of Iwai, Lindblad shot a 4-under 68 to finish at 21-under 277. The 25-year-old former LSU star from Sweden made the last of her six birdies on the par-5 11th and parred the final seven holes. She had two front-none bogeys.

Iwai followed a third-round 64 with a 69 to fall a stroke short. The 22-year-old Japanese player’s twin sister, Chisato, tied for 11th at 15 under after a 68.

top amateur Sigel dies at 81 >> Jay Sigel, who was widely viewed as America’s best amateur since Bobby Jones, has died of pancreatic cancer, the U.S. Golf Association.

The USGA said Sigel died Saturday at age 81. Along with his two U.S. Amateur titles and three U.S. Mid-Amateur victories, Sigel played in nine Walker Cup matches, twice as a playing captain.

Sigel was low amateur in the Masters three times, and once each at the U.S. Open and British Open during his sterling career.

His intention was to turn pro when he starred at Wake Forest on an Arnold Palmer scholarship. But his left hand went through a pane window on a swinging door that required 70 stitches.

Tennis

Zverev wins BMW Open >> Top-seeded Alexander Zverev beat second-seeded Ben Shelton 6-2, 6-4 to win his third Munich title.

Shelton was playing in his fourth career final and second on clay after winning in Houston last year.

The No.1-ranked Sabalenka has conserved some energy in the tournament. The 26-year-old Belarussian got a bye through the first round and a walkover in the second.

Sabalenka looked sharp against the fifth-seeded Paolini, last year’s French Open runner-up, breaking her serve six times.

Soccer

Liverpool move within 1 win of EPL Title >> The Premier League title is so close Liverpool can almost touch it.

Trent Alexander-Arnold’s second-half strike against Leicester pushed the Merseyside club to within one more win of a record-equaling 20th English league crown.

It would not even take that if second-placed Arsenal loses to Crystal Palace on Wednesday. But regardless of any other result, Liverpool knows victory against Tottenham at Anfield next Sunday will be enough to seal the title.
