DULUTH — Minnesota Duluth senior goaltender Tindra Holm picked up her 19th collegiate shutout Saturday by making just 12 saves in a 2-0 win for the No. 4-ranked Bulldogs against Bemidji State in WCHA play at Amsoil Arena. Junior defenseman Tova Henderson and fifth-year senior wing Olivia Mobley scored the Bulldogs' goals to complete the series sweep following an 8-1 win on Friday. ADVERTISEMENT Beavers sophomore goaltender Eva Filippova, who came on in relief Friday, finished with 37 saves, but no offensive support from her teammates. “I thought they did a really good job of blocking a lot of the shots that we were taking today,” Bulldogs coach Laura Schuler said. BSU was credited with 18 blocked shots on UMD’s 70 shot attempts. “We really had to work to get the two goals that we got.” Highlights Schuler wasn’t willing to call Friday’s 8-1 win perfect because of some defensive lapses by the Bulldogs. UMD got away from “Bulldog hockey” at times on Friday, she said. “That’s playing honest hockey and defense first, and staying true to our habits,” Schuler said. Saturday was much closer to “Bulldog hockey,” according to Schuler, who is always thinking of the big picture instead of just the short-term joy an 8-1 dismantling might bring. “It’s awesome to get another two wins under our belt,” Schuler said. “And for us it’s about cultivating good habits — good habits that are going to help carry us through every game we play.” The Bulldogs were confident on Saturday. That was Schuler’s biggest positive from Saturday’s game. It’s easy to be confident when you’re leading by five, six or seven goals. It’s a different story when you’re up by one or two goals. ADVERTISEMENT “They were still playing with that confidence and that poise versus panicking,” Schuler said. “I didn’t think we panicked at all today, even though it was a close game on the scoreboard. I was super, super happy with the girls and how they were playing.” Henderson finishes with three goals in the series and now has five through 14 games in 2024-25 after scoring just two in her first 77 games as a Bulldogs freshman and sophomore. Henderson gave the Bulldogs a 1-0 lead 12:47 into the game, scoring on UMD’s one and only power play of the game. After scoring twice on Friday, Henderson heaped credit for the uptick in offense on her defensive partner, fifth-year senior Nina Jobst-Smith, in her postgame interview. Henderson said playing with Jobst-Smith gives her confidence, and Jobst-Smith said that’s exactly what has stood out to her about Henderson this year. “She’s always had the skill set in college and I feel like her and I have taken similar paths in that sense, having a slower start to our careers,” Jobst-Smith said. “Once we get going, we’re hot. Tova is hitting that point in her career where she is going to be producing for us all night long.” The Olivias lead the Bulldogs in goals scored through 14 games with Mobley getting her sixth on Saturday after fellow fifth-year senior Olivia Wallin got a hat trick on Friday. Wallin assisted on a snipe by Mobley in the second period to put the Bulldogs up by two. Mobley credited her teammates, and good habits from the previous shift for setting up the score. ADVERTISEMENT “(Wallin) gave me a nice breakout pass, we had speed coming through,” Mobley said of her goal, that came on a two-versus-one rush with senior center Jenna Lawry. Mobley kept the puck and took the shot herself. “Jenna drove back door, which was huge. It pushed the goalie back. “It starts in the (defensive) zone, with those little habits. That was a whole play before, a shift before setting it up. I was just able to execute on that one and get it done.” Holm picked up her second shutout as a Bulldog on Saturday after posting 16 in three seasons at Long Island University. Holm only had to make two saves in the opening 20 minutes before the Beavers started getting a few more pucks on her during a power play in the second period. Saturday’s 12 saves were not the fewest Holm has had to make to get a shutout. She stopped 9-of-9 for the Sharks on Jan. 27, 2023, against St. Michael as a sophomore and 6-of-6 on Oct. 29, 2021 as a freshman, also against St. Michael. Up next The Bulldogs will host Vermont for a nonconference series at 6:01 p.m. on Friday and 3:01 p.m. Saturday over Thanksgiving weekend. It’s the second of three nonconference series on this year’s schedule. Box score Bemidji State 0-0-0—0 Minnesota Duluth 1-1-0—0 First period 1.

ADVERTISEMENTOTTAWA — Canada's financial intelligence agency says it is modernizing with the aim of providing valuable information to police and security officials in real time — or as close to that goal as it can get. In its newly released annual report, the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada says it is working with businesses and federal partners to move more quickly in the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing. The agency, known as Fintrac, identifies money linked to illicit activities by electronically sifting millions of pieces of information each year from banks, insurance companies, money services businesses, real-estate brokers, casinos and others. In turn, it discloses intelligence to police and security agencies about the suspected cases. In 2023-24, Fintrac produced more than 4,600 financial intelligence disclosure packages for recipients including the RCMP, municipal and provincial police, the Canada Border Services Agency and the Canada Revenue Agency. In a message in the report, Fintrac director Sarah Paquet says the agency aims to harness modern skills, tools and technologies to analyze data and produce intelligence in real time. Paquet said such swiftness could be a game-changer, for example, in the agency's efforts to track financial transactions related to human trafficking for sexual exploitation. "It will allow us to proactively identify and assist law enforcement in disrupting networks much quicker," she said. "This will mean rescuing victims sooner, saving them from prolonged abuse. It will mean supporting survivors sooner, getting them the assistance they need in a more timely fashion. And it will help law enforcement target, arrest and charge the traffickers sooner, preventing the abuse of new victims." Fintrac's digital strategy includes advancing automation, analytics and the use of artificial intelligence, Paquet said. In a bid to "stay ahead of the bad actors," Fintrac has created a digital acceleration and modernization team "to experiment with, and exploit, the latest technologies." Transnational organized crime groups and professional money launderers are the most prominent threats to Canada when it comes to illicit cash transactions, the report said. "At the same time, while the threat of terrorist financing is not as pronounced in Canada as it is in other regions of the world, there are networks operating in our country that are suspected of raising, collecting and transmitting funds abroad to various terrorist groups." This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 26, 2024. Jim Bronskill, The Canadian PressThe Cincinnati Bearcats men's basketball team has gotten off to a fast start this season in more ways than one. The No. 16 Bearcats have raced to a 5-0 record while outscoring their opponents by more than 31 points per game, with just one team (Northern Kentucky) coming within 16 points. Cincinnati is averaging a robust 87 points per game with one of the more efficient offenses in college basketball. Cincinnati will look to continue that hot streak when it plays host to Alabama State in nonconference action Wednesday evening. Cincinnati has punished opposing defenses in a variety of ways this season. Despite being the No. 14 offense in the nation in Ken Pomeroy's efficiency ratings, the Bearcats aren't among the nation's leaders in pace. Still, they take advantage of those opportunities when they are there. "Us playing fast is something we want to do," Cincinnati forward Dillon Mitchell said. "When I was being recruited here, that was something Coach (Wes) Miller wanted to do. "There could be games where we're not making shots or something is off, but one thing is we're gonna push the ball, play hard and play fast. That's something he preaches. We'll be in shape and get rebounds." Mitchell is fresh off a double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds in Cincinnati's 81-58 road win at Georgia Tech Saturday. He is one of four Bearcats to average double figures in scoring this season. That balance was on display once again against the Yellow Jackets, with Connor Hickman and Jizzle James also scoring 14 points each and Simas Lukosius contributing 12 points. In that game, Cincinnati sank 51.6 percent of its shots while regularly getting out into transition with 16 fastbreak points, while winning the rebounding battle 36-29. "Any time you get a road win over a quality, Power 4 team, you're gonna feel good about it," Miller said. "I was pleased with our effort." Lukosius is scoring 16.6 points per game, while James is at 14.0 points, followed by Mitchell at 12.4, while he also grabs a team-best 8.6 rebounds. Alabama State (3-3) has a tough task ahead, especially when considering its 97-78 loss at Akron Sunday, which ended a three-game winning streak. The Hornets allowed the Zips to shoot 46.4 percent from the field and were 53-32 in the rebounding battle. Alabama State gave up a season high in points, after playing the likes of LSU and UNLV earlier this season. Akron standout Nate Johnson lit up Alabama State for 25 points, as the game got away from the Hornets in the second half to keep them winless in true road games. Alabama leading scorers CJ Hines and TJ Madlock still got theirs against Akron, scoring 19 and 17 points, respectively. They were joined in double figures by reserve Tyler Mack (18 points), but recent history says they'll need more help to keep up with the Bearcats. Hines leads the Hornets with 15.7 points per game, while Madlock contributes 14.5 points. In previous Akron Basketball Classic wins last week against Omaha and Lamar, Alabama State featured at least four double-digit scorers in each game. --Field Level Media

Betty White Forever: New stamp will honor the much-beloved 'Golden Girls' actor

WASHINGTON — As several of President-elect Donald Trump’s choices for high-level positions in his incoming administration face scrutiny on Capitol Hill, a poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research shows that Americans have their own doubts. Relatively few Americans overall approve of Pete Hegseth, Trump’s choice to lead the Department of Defense, or Tulsi Gabbard, his pick for intelligence chief, although a substantial share doesn’t know who those figures are. The other selections who were included in the poll, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for health secretary and Marco Rubio for secretary of state, are more well-known but not much more popular among Americans overall. Trump and his allies are pushing Republican senators to confirm his picks, who are meeting with lawmakers before Trump returns to the White House next month. Given the Republicans’ slim majority in the Senate, the stakes are high for each Trump pick. An Army veteran and former Fox News commentator, Hegseth has been trying to make his case amid allegations of excessive drinking and the revelation that he made a settlement payment after being accused of a sexual assault that he denies. Trump has reiterated his support for Hegseth, who appears to have won over some of the senators who were once critical of his selection. Hegseth is still an unknown quantity for many Americans. About 4 in 10 don’t know enough about him to give an opinion, according to the poll. But his selection is viewed more negatively than positively among Americans who do know who he is. About 2 in 10 U.S. adults approve of Hegseth being picked for Trump’s Cabinet, while 36% disapprove and about 1 in 10 don’t know enough to have an opinion. He has higher support among Republicans, but it’s not overwhelming. Many Republicans do not have an opinion of Hegseth: About 4 in 10 say they don’t know enough about him. About one-third of Republicans approve of him as a pick, and 16% disapprove. Another 1 in 10 Republicans, roughly, are neutral and say they neither approve nor disapprove. Those approval numbers among Republicans are at least slightly lower for Hegseth than any of the other names included in the poll. Gabbard, who represented Hawaii in the House for four terms as a Democrat, sought the 2020 presidential nomination before leaving her party. She was one of Trump’s most sought-after surrogates in the 2024 campaign. Gabbard has faced new questions about her proximity to Syria amid the sudden end of Syrian President Bashar Assad’s long hold on power. Gabbard is as unknown as Hegseth is, but Americans are a little less likely to disapprove of her nomination. About 2 in 10 Americans approve of Trump’s pick of Gabbard, while about 3 in 10 disapprove. The rest either do not know enough to say — about 4 in 10 said this — or have a neutral view. Approval is slightly higher among Republicans than Hegseth’s, though. About 4 in 10 Republicans approve of the choice, while very few disapprove and 16% have a neutral view. Similar to Americans overall, about 4 in 10 Republicans don’t know enough to say. A scion of a famous Democratic dynasty, Kennedy made a name in his own right as an environmental attorney who successfully took on large corporations. In recent decades, he has increasingly devoted his energy to promoting claims about vaccines that contradict the overwhelming consensus of scientists. Trump has said he would give Kennedy free rein over health policy — from drug, vaccine and food safety to medical research and the social safety net programs Medicare and Medicaid. Only 14% of Americans say they don’t know enough to have an opinion about Trump’s move to name Kennedy, but that greater name recognition doesn’t translate into warmer feelings. About 4 in 10 Americans disapprove of Trump’s selection of Kennedy, while about 3 in 10 approve and 14% are neutral. Once a contender for the Democratic presidential primary, Kennedy has become something of a GOP darling, with a strong majority of Republicans approving of him joining the Trump administration. About 6 in 10 Republicans approve, and only about 1 in 10 disapprove. About 2 in 10 are neutral, and about 1 in 10 don’t know enough about him to say. In his third Senate term from Florida, Rubio has gone from a Trump rival for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination to one of his staunchest congressional allies. Rubio is seen as having the incoming president’s ear on foreign policy issues, particularly related to Latin America. Americans are divided about Rubio being elevated to a key Cabinet role: About 3 in 10 approve, and a similar share disapprove, while about 2 in 10 don’t know enough to say and 15% neither approve nor disapprove. Most Republicans, nearly 6 in 10, approve, making his selection nearly as popular with this group as Kennedy’s. Only about 1 in 10 Republicans disapprove, while 14% are neutral and about 2 in 10 don’t know enough to say. Rubio, who is Cuban American, earns higher approval among Hispanic adults than some of Trump’s other high-profile choices, but more still disapprove than approve.

What happened Greg Schiano gave Illinois a second chance at a game winner on Saturday afternoon at SHI Stadium. Then the Rutgers’ coach’s decision to ice Illini kicker Ethan Moczulski backfired spectacularly. Moczulski had missed the 57-yard field goal as the timeout was called. Given one last opportunity, Luke Altmyer connected with Pat Bryant (again) for a 40-yard touchdown to give Illinois an improbable Big Ten road win. What it means Turns out this Illinois team has some real late-game chops. Saturday’s dramatic come-from-behind victory against Rutgers was simply the latest to go with a pair of overtime wins (Nebraska and Purdue) and another fourth-quarter rally (Kansas). Give Altmyer a 2-minute drill, and the Illini quarterback has shown he can deliver. Bret Bielema’s primary purpose was to build a consistent winner in Champaign. A win like Saturday’s is a clear step in that direction. What’s next Bowl eligibility was secured more than a month ago. Illinois is simply building toward as good of a postseason berth as possible with an 8-3 record going into next weekend’s regular season finale against Northwestern at Wrigley Field. So more than the hat is on the line. Three losses is likely one too many for the Illini to secure a spot in the College Football Playoff, but a trip to Orlando for the Citrus Bowl isn’t a terrible consolation. Especially given the program’s history. What was said “He’s still not on the Bileniikoff (Award), so if we can have a write-in campaign. Holy Jesus? He’s literally one of the best receivers in the country, and we can’t get him on the Biletnikoff. Biletnikoff, please here me. Just a really, really intelligent player. Pat is so aware of his surroundings. That last play, I thought he was going to the sidelines, and then he saw that corner and took off and knew he could get there.” — Bielema after Bryant’s game winner
