EVANSTON, Ill. (AP) - For a team that was all but out of it not
too long ago, Northwestern isn't in such a bad spot these days.
Beat Minnesota today and the Wildcats become bowl-eligible.
Northwestern (5-5, 2-4 Big Ten) is on a three-game winning streak
after dropping five in a row and will try to keep it going against
one of the conference's worst teams in the Golden Gophers (2-8,
1-5).
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - The Minnesota Twins plan to add another
bronze statue of a former player outside Target Field next year.
Twins spokesman Kevin Smith says the player has yet to be named. He
would join statues of Harmon Killebrew, Kirby Puckett, Rod Carew,
Tony Oliva and the late Twins owner Carl Pohlad and his wife
Eloise. Smith says the Twins hope to unveil the new statue at the
April 9 home opener against the Los Angeles Angels.
ST. CLOUD, Minn. (AP) - St. Cloud State freshman Ryan Faragher
made 40 saves to lead the Huskies to a 4-3 Western Collegiate
Hockey Association win over top-ranked Minnesota yesterday.
Faragher was the difference as the Golden Gophers (10-3-0, 7-2-0)
outshot St. Cloud State 43-18. He made 28 saves in the first two
periods as the Huskies (6-5-2, 4-2-1) took a 4-1 lead.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - The Minnesota Twins and versatile catcher
Ryan Doumit have agreed to a one-year, $3 million contract. Doumit
is a career .271 hitter who can also play first base and right
field, skills that fit with what the Twins are seeking this
offseason. They need a backup for catcher Joe Mauer who can produce
at the plate.
