Southern defeats UC San Diego women 68-56 for its first NCAA Tournament win in seven appearances

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Soniyah Reed came off the bench to score 19 of her 24 points in the first half when Southern built a big lead that it was able to ride to a 68-56 NCAA Tournament First Four win over UC San Diego on Wednesday night.
The 16th-seeded Jaguars (21-14) won for the first time in seven tournament appearances and go up against overall No. 1 seed UCLA in the round of 64 on Friday.
Reed, who came in averaging under 11 points a game, made 8 of 10 shots including three 3-pointers. Aniya Gourdine shot 7 of 14 and added 17 points and seven rebounds. Tionna Lidge scored 12 points on 6-of-8 shooting. The Jaguars shot 49%.
Sumayah Sugapong led UCSD (20-16) with 19 points, making three 3-pointers, and had six assists. Parker Montgomery hit four 3-pointers and added 15 points. The Triton duo combined for 25 second-half points. UCSD, which reached the tournament in its first year of eligibility, shot 34%.
A 3-pointer by Sabrina Ma and a bucket from Junae Mahan got the Tritons within six with a minute to go before Southern's free throws accounted for the remainder of the scoring.
Montgomery and Sugapong hit a pair of 3-pointers apiece and combined for all but two of UCSD's 20 third-quarter points to cut a 20-point deficit to nine heading into the final period.
The game was tied only at 2-2. Reed, who entered midway through the first quarter, made a trio of 3-pointers and added another bucket in leading the Jaguars to a 19-11 first-quarter edge. Gourdine had a pair of 3-pointers and Reed eight straight points in the second quarter when Southern outscored UCSD 21-9.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence wears arm sleeve while practicing with 'general soreness'

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence wore a protective sleeve on his throwing arm during the start of a three-day, mandatory minicamp Tuesday because of 'general soreness.' Lawrence took all the repetitions with the first-team offense and looked sharp at times. He also wore the sleeve last Thursday for the final practice of organized team activities.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence wears arm sleeve while practicing with 'general soreness'

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence wore a protective sleeve on his throwing arm during the start of a three-day, mandatory minicamp Tuesday because of 'general soreness.' Lawrence took all the repetitions with the first-team offense and looked sharp at times. He also wore the sleeve last Thursday for the final practice of organized team activities. But it raised eyebrows when Lawrence had it on again five days later. 'He just had a little bit of just general soreness,' new Jaguars coach Liam Coen said. 'We threw a lot of balls last week and really leading into (minicamp) he feels good. He said it wasn't really an issue. 'It was more sometimes when you just have something (on) to keep it warm, just helps any type of thrower. I think that was more just a maintenance than anything that's really bothering him.' Lawrence has missed eight games over the past two seasons, including seven in 2024. He sat out two games because of an injury to his non-throwing shoulder and then the final six following a violent, concussion-inducing hit. He also missed a game in 2023 because of a sprained right shoulder and significant practice time that season because of a sprained left knee, a sprained right ankle and a concussion two weeks later. ___ AP NFL:
