Caroline Dubois floored a bloodied Terri Harper before outpointing her British rival to become the unified lightweight world champion in London.

Gabriela Jaquez scored 21 points, Lauren Betts added 16 and UCLA routed South Carolina 79-51 Sunday to win its first NCAA championship in women’s basketball.

Reaction and analysis as Caroline Dubois unifies the lightweight division by beating Terri Harper in London.

PHOENIX — With gold confetti falling from the rafters, Lauren Betts couldn’t hold back the tears. A magical run by UCLA ended in dominating fashion when Betts and the Bruins defeated South Carolina 79-51. It capped the best season in UCLA women’s basketball program history and gave coach Cori Close her first national championship. It wasn’t a massive surprise that the Bruins were in this position. UCLA was the most talented team in the country and came into the NCAA Tournament as the second No.

Once happenstance, twice coincidence, three times enemy action. Smoke/fire. Boy who cried wolf. Is Jon Jones, bullying victim, a believable tale?

WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — The Houston Astros placed ace right-hander Hunter Brown on the 15-day injured list Sunday with a right shoulder strain.

Brown, who won 12 games with a 2.43 ERA in 2025, pitched six strong innings to lead Houston to a 9-2 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday night. He earned the win by allowing only one hit with two walks and eight strikeouts.

Brown reported shoulder discomfort during a routine throwing session on Friday, according to manager Joe Espada. Brown then flew to Houston to be examined by team doctors.

Espada told MLB.com a timetable for Brown’s return is pending further examinations.

The Astros recalled right-hander Christian Roa from Triple-A Sugar Land in a corresponding roster move before Sunday’s game against the Athletics. The move with Brown was made retroactive to Thursday.

Brown, 27, has won 11 or more games in three consecutive seasons and has a 3.44 career ERA in 102 games, including 94 starts, over five seasons.
