ESPN Events has announced its first-ever ESPN Collegiate Esports Championship, which will be held in Houston, Texas this May.

Hundreds of schools across North America will soon compete in qualifiers hosted by Tespa and the Collegiate Star League, which will give winners the chance to compete in the live LAN semi-finals and championship that will take place May 10-12 at the George R Brown Convention Center Comicpalooza weekend, held by ESPN Events.

Games announced for the event include Overwatch, Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition, Hearthstone, StarCraft II and Heroes of the Storm. Finalists will compete for scholarships, and portions of the qualifying rounds and the LAN championship will be streamed globally on various platforms.

“As universities continue to grow their esports programs at the varsity, non-varsity and club levels, we’re proud to be providing a platform for national exposure and recognition of some of the most talented players in the collegiate space,” said John Lasker, ESPN’s VP of digital media programming. “Through our collaboration with top publishers in the industry, players will be able to showcase their talent in high-level competition on some of the most prominent esports titles.”

“ESPN has been a terrific collaborator with Blizzard Esports over the years, having created monumental esports moments together, and we couldn’t be more excited to team up again to provide our collegiate players the opportunity to finish out the spring Tespa season on the big stage,” said Todd Pawlowski, Blizzard’s SVP of live experiences. “It’ll be a first for Blizzard to have four collegiate championship events under one roof, which should make for an awesome show for the fans.”

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Fifty outstanding softball players have been chosen for the 2017 Schutt Sports/NFCA Division III National Player of the Year watch list, which will be paired down in the coming weeks until just one player remains at the conclusion of the season.

Twenty-two returning NFCA All-Americans top the list, including six first-team honorees, seven second-team selections and nine from last year’s third team. The remaining 23 members of the group all earned first team NFCA All-Region recognition last season.

Three teams have three players each on the initial list — Manhattanville, Otterbein and Worcester Polytechnic Institute, while six others — Aurora, Carthage, East Texas Baptist, Tufts and Washington (Mo.) — have two apiece and 37 others have one selection.

There are 22 seniors, 18 juniors and 10 sophomores in the group.

The list is a collaborative effort between the NFCA’s Division III Head Coaches and All-America committees. The list will subsequently be cut to 25 and 10, before the winner is chosen.

The list will be adjusted to assure the best players during the season are considered, with the eventual winner coming from the group of 25.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Following another dominant week, Florida strengthened its hold the No. 1 ranking in the USA Today/NFCA Division I Top 25 Coaches Poll. The Gators (44-3) collected 30 first-place votes and 798 of a possible 800 points.

Florida put together a 4-0 week, which saw its NCAA-best pitching staff allow one run over the course of 26 innings. After a 9-1 mid-week win over in-state foe UCF, the Gators’ pitching staff surrendered just seven hits as they shutout then-No. 18 Ole Miss in a Southeastern Conference sweep by the scores of 2-0, 3-0 and 5-0. With three more shutouts, UF has posted 28 on the season, including 14 over Top 25 competition, and lowered its NCAA-best ERA to 0.70.

Florida State also picked up four wins last week and remained at No. 2 with 754 points. The Seminoles (43-3-1) swept a mid-week twinbill at Troy (9-3, 2-0) and opened their road ACC series at Louisville with two triumphs over the Cardinals (11-0, 4-3 in 10 inn.).

Arizona, which earned a first-place vote, also stayed put, holding on to the No. 3 ranking following a 4-1 week. The Wildcats (45-4) took care of business in a mid-week doubleheader at New Mexico State (8-0, 11-1) and claimed the first two games in home a Pac-12 matchup versus No. 6 Oregon (2-0, 10-7) before dropping the finale, 4-3.

Minnesota and Texas A&M switched positions as the Gophers (43-3) took over the No. 4 ranking, their highest in program history. Minnesota, who picked up the final first-place vote, won five Big Ten contests, topping RV Wisconsin (6-0 in 12 inn., 12-1) on the road and taking all three at home from Iowa (5-0, 9-1, 3-0). The Aggies (40-5) slipped up in mid-week action, coming up short in a comeback bid against then-No. 17 Louisiana (9-11) before sweeping No. 22 Georgia (10-3, 1-0, 2-0) in SEC action.

Oregon did not move from No. 6 after dropping a Pac-12 series at No. 3 Arizona. No. 7 Oklahoma and No. 8 Washington each moved up one position. The Sooners (41-8) enjoyed a 3-1 week, which included a crucial Big 12 series win over No. 15 Baylor. OU grabbed a 3-2 10-inning triumph in game one and clinched the series with a 6-0 shutout in the finale. The Bears (36-9) 4-3 victory in game two snapped the Sooners’ 17-game winning streak as well as their 25 consecutive victories in conference play and 33-game home winning streak.

Washington had a successful cross-country trip to the Heart of Dixie, defeating UAB (8-0) and trumping No. 13 Alabama (3-2, 3-0) in a two-game series at Rhoads Stadium. It was the Huskies (34-10) first sweep of the Tide since a 2007 Super Regional matchup. 

Auburn slipped to No. 9 after a 3-1 week, while Utah remained at No. 10. The Tigers (39-8) knocked off Kennesaw State at home and claimed a SEC series win on the road, taking the first two games from RV South Carolina (2-0, 2-0). In a closely-contested Pac-12 series, the Utes (30-9) rebounded from a 9-8 loss in the opener to claim the series with 7-6 and 2-1 victories at No. 23 Arizona State. 

Making its first appearance of 2017 is Marshall at No. 25, replacing Illinois, who appeared for the first time last week.

RADISSON, Sask. — Police have laid a murder charge against a convicted contract killer in the 2007 disappearance of a 15-year-old British Columbia teenager in Saskatchewan.

Katelyn Marie Noble was last seen on Aug. 27, 2007, in the Radisson area, northwest of Saskatoon.

Eduard Viktorovit Baranec, a 41-year-old man who is serving time at a federal prison in B.C., was arrested Tuesday. He is charged with first-degree murder.

RCMP Cpl. Rob King says he hopes the arrest will bring some level of closure or measure of comfort for Noble’s family.

“Hopefully the long ordeal that they’ve been going through is hopefully coming to an end,” King said.

Baranec is serving a life sentence for the murder of a Surrey, B.C., mother of three.

In 2016, a B.C. court heard Baljinder Bahia paid Baranec $15,000 to kill Bahia’s wife. Amanpreet Kaur Bahia was stabbed to death in 2007. Her in-laws found her body lying on the kitchen floor with her one-year-old daughter crying next to her.

It was information from the Noble investigation in Saskatchewan that helped police crack the Bahia case.

King wouldn’t confirm the relationship between Baranec and Noble, but media reports have said Noble had lived with Baranec.

He said the cause of death along with motive will be presented in court.

“Investigations are complex, investigations take time,” King said. “The number of officer hours on this and the number of kilometres travelled is well into the thousands.”

After Noble’s disappearance, a number of searches were conducted in the Radisson area.

Her mother, Leona Noble, made multiple trips to Saskatchewan to help look for any sign of her daughter.

The Elder Scrolls: Blades, the upcoming mobile entry into the long-running action-RPG franchise, officially enters Early Access today.

Announced in a tweet from the official The Elder Scrolls Twitter account, Bethesda is bringing players to Blades in waves vie e-mail invitations.

The official FAQ for Blades confirms Early Access is available on iOS and Android devices, that it is not under NDA, all progress and purchases will carry over to the final game, and that players can still sign up for Early Access.

Blades was announced during Bethesda’s E3 2018 press conference and was originally slated for a 2018 release. By November, it had been delayed until “Early 2019.”

For fans of the main franchise, The Elder Scrolls VI was also announced during E3 2018, though it will likely be coming to next-generation consoles.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — With many teams finished for the season, there was just one change in the top 10 behind leader Los Alamitos in this week’s USA Today Sports/NFCA High School Super 25 poll.

Last week’s No. 8 team, Oshkosh North, dropped out in favor of new No. 14 Kaukauna (28-2), who defeated the Spartans in the state quarterfinals. In the only other action among the first 15 teams, No. 3 Oak Park-River Forest (38-1) wrapped up its season with Chardonnay Harris’ three-hitter (16 strikeouts) in the Illinois state 4A final, while No. 7 Crown Point (30-2) rolled to the Indiana state 4A title behind Alexis Holloway’s 66 strikeouts over six straight victories.

No. 17 Immaculate Heart Academy (30-4) returned to the poll for the first time since week 3 of the rankings — March 30 — after winning its third straight Non-Public School A title and defeating Lodi Immaculate in the inaugural New Jersey Tournament of Champions. Similarly, Madisonville-North Hopkins joined the ranking at No. 24, just ahead of the Male team it beat, 5-3, for the Kentucky state championship.

State rankings submitted by NFCA member coaches are used to compile the USA Today Sports/NFCA High School Super 25.

LETHBRIDGE, Alta. — The head coach of the University of Lethbridge Pronghorns women’s rugby team says he’s making it a habit to wear his seatbelt on the team’s bus.

Other coaches and at least half of the players on his team at the southern Alberta school are also buckling up.

“We haven’t made it policy so we haven’t forced anybody,” said Neil Langevin, who took his second-ever selfie and posted it on Twitter to set an example. “We’re just raising awareness and making it a challenge on our team.”

Langevin said his decision was clear after speaking to his friend and the team’s manager Toby Boulet, who has made a point of wearing his seatbelt on the bus this season.

Boulet’s son, Logan, was one of 16 people who died after a bus carrying the Humboldt Broncos junior hockey team collided with a semi-truck in rural Saskatchewan. Thirteen others were injured.

“It really hit home,” said Langevin, who was Logan’s godfather.

The parents of two other players who died have also called for mandatory seatbelt use on buses since the crash in April.

A lawsuit filed by the parents of Adam Herold in July asked for a court order requiring all buses carrying sports teams in Saskatchewan to be equipped with seatbelts.

Earlier this month, the mom of Stephen Wack wrote an opinion piece that ran in newspapers across the country asking for shoulder harness belts on all coach buses, along with the need for legislation making it compulsory to wear those seatbelts.

“If the wearing of shoulder belts on coach buses can be implemented successfully in the UK and some other European countries, then I believe that we, as Canadians, are capable of accomplishing the same,” Tricia Wack said in an email.

“With the Humboldt Broncos bus crash bringing this issue to the forefront, many Canadians are acknowledging the need for bus belts. Now is the time to make it happen.”

She concluded her opinion piece by asking people to buckle up for the Broncos and the hashtag #buckleupforthebroncos was born.

Officials with Hockey Canada, the national governing body for most ice hockey teams in the country, said they haven’t brought in any changes for this season.

“At this time, Hockey Canada’s membership has not put forward any recommendations or new regulations as a result of the Humboldt Broncos tragedy on April 6,” said spokeswoman Lisa Dornan in an emailed statement.

“We continue to monitor the information about the accident as it becomes publicly available in order to ensure we review any and all learnings that come from the incident.”

Transport Canada announced in June that the department will require all newly built highway buses to have seatbelts by September 2020.

Charter companies have said a lot of the newer buses already have seatbelts, but it’s tough for drivers to make sure people wear them for the duration of the trip.

Seatbelt use falls under the jurisdiction of the provincial and territorial governments, and is enforced by police in each area.

Many provinces and territories — including Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia — require motorists and passengers to wear seatbelts when they are provided.

Langevin said the legislation and policies help, but he said people can also make a choice to buckle up when they get on the team bus.

“We thought we’d tackle it in terms of habits,” he said.

Langevin said he doesn’t believe it will change the culture of being on the bus as a sports team.

“This won’t diminish the great times on the bus, but it will definitely make sure the bad times aren’t as bad.”
