WINNIPEG -- Corey Chamblin watched his Roughriders fight for a Grey Cup victory last year, but the Saskatchewan coach said Thursdays 23-17 win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers was a gutsy performance hell never forget. "It was tougher than any Grey Cup Ive been in and all the other things, in terms of us just battling," Chamblin said. "This team battled. I mean, they had us on the ropes." "Just happy for us to win that game," he added. "Thats huge, thats probably the biggest of my career." Saskatchewan cornerback Terrell Maze intercepted Drew Willy and ran 28 yards for a touchdown with 2:20 left in the game. Saskatchewan (4-2) tried a two-point passing play following Mazes TD, but Darian Durants pass was incomplete and the score stayed 22-17. With his teammates yelling around him in the locker-room -- calling him "amazing" -- Maze said the defence never lost hope. "Everybody stuck together, we never gave up," Maze said. "We were in the zone, I was the lone man. I wouldnt want to say I baited (Willy), but I was hoping he threw it." Willy blamed himself for the costly mistake. "Cant throw in the flat like that late, thats the reason we lost," Willy said. "Bad read." And he says hell take full responsibility and try to improve. "It stings to let the guys down like that," Willy said. The turnover came after the Bombers (5-2) had gained the upperhand when receiver Rory Kohlert got behind a defender and hauled in a 12-yard pass from Willy in the end zone to go ahead 17-16 with 5:25 left. His two-point convert attempt was unsuccessful in front of Winnipegs first sellout crowd of the season of 33,234 loud fans at Investors Group Field. On Winnipegs next series after the Maze TD, Willy was intercepted by defensive back Mark Legree, who also intercepted him in the first quarter. Chamblin praised his defence. "That was a game from the soul," Chamblin said. "They were all out. They left everything on that field. "Theyre going to be tired, coaches are tired. We had a lot against us, but we made it." Riders kicker Chris Milo attempted a 32-yard field goal with 30 seconds left in the game, but missed and added a single for the final 23-17 score. Willy completed 23 of 39 pass attempts for 303 yards, three interceptions and one TD. Durant was 13-of-21 for 115 yards, with no interceptions and no TDS. Bombers head coach Mike OShea said the turnovers were costly, but they did have time to try to pull out another late victory as theyve done twice before this season. "Were down with (some) time on the clock, weve got the ball back and weve still got the chance to possibly win it," OShea said. "So a couple other games we did that and this one we didnt." But he wasnt coming down hard on Willy. "Drew is committed to be being the best quarterback he can possibly be so this doesnt change," OShea said. Winnipeg had led 10-3 at half-time, thanks in part to Saskatchewans eight penalties for 83 yards (they finished with 17 for 173 yards), but then luck turned the Riders way. With Willy at his own 28-yard line, Riders George Tearrius forced him to fumble and teammate David Lee picked up the ball and ran seven yards for the touchdown at 12:51 of the third quarter. Winnipeg defensive back Demond Washington then fumbled the kickoff when he tried to run through some defenders and Saskatchewan receiver Chaz Schilens recovered the ball. The turnover led to Milo booting a 10-yard field goal 15 seconds into the fourth quarter for the 13-10 lead. Winnipeg kicker Lirim Hajrullahu added a punt single and Milo booted a 40-yard field goal to up Saskatchewans lead 16-11 with just over seven minutes remaining in the game. Milo was also good on a field goal from 42 yards and missed a 48-yard attempt. Willy scored a touchdown on a seven-yard run in the second quarter and Hajrullahu also made a 41-yard field goal and added a 50-yard punt single for Winnipegs other points. The rookie Hajrullahu has now connected on 16 of 17 field-goal tries this season. Saskatchewan has won 11 of the last 13 games between the clubs heading into the match. The teams play each other two more times this season, next in the Labour Day Classic in Regina and a week later in Winnipeg for the Banjo Bowl. .

"Her knee was swollen again after Val dIsere," U.S. womens head coach Alex Hoedlmoser told The Associated Press.ST. MORITZ, Switzerland -- Sarah Reid started off slowly but finished with a bang Friday. The Canadian sat eighth after her first run at the skeleton world championship but put together three strong subsequent efforts to capture a bronze medal. The Calgary native posted a time of four minutes 40.01 seconds to earn her first career world championship medal. "Im absolutely thrilled. I have no words," she said. "To be truthful, I thought about a medal before the race, but being eighth in the first run I thought it wasnt possible. "Then I put down three good runs and I am just so happy." Shelley Rudman of Britain won her first skeleton world championship after fending off a strong challenge from American Noelle Pikus-Pace. Rudmans one-second lead from the opening two runs Thursday was cut to 0.57 seconds by Pikus-Pace, who was fastest in the final two runs and took silver. Following her slow start, Reid found herself .10 seconds out of third place heading into the final run. "Even after the first day it was so tight that I knew I could climb up, but I didnt know if I could medal," she said. "Duff (coach Duff Gibson) and I had a chat between the third and fourth run and he said `The person who has the best run will get the medal." Mellisa Hollingsworth of Eckville, Alta., a two-time World Cup champion and Olympic bronze medallist, was fifth in 4:40.36. "I was happy to have a final good run, but it is extremely obvious to me that I have to focus on skeleton and get training this summer," said Hollingsworth, who has also been competing in rodeo during thhe off-season.dddddddddddd "I missed the medals because of my start. "The coaches are extremely supportive, and we are getting my new sled in the lineup. I was getting used to it, but I just wasnt confident enough on it yet." Cassie Hawrysh of Brandon, Man., was 12th in 4:42.59. Reid has enjoyed a solid campaign, kicking off the pre-Olympic season with her first career World Cup medal by winning the season-opener in Lake Placid, N.Y. She finished second two weeks later in Whistler, B.C., and added another silver medal in La Plagne, France. And on Friday she reached the podium at Temple, the worlds lone non-refrigerated track that has hosted the 1928 and 1948 Olympic Winter Games. "It is super cool to win a medal here," she said. "This is where the sport was born and it is such a special track. "This year really feels surreal. I always felt I could medal at worlds, but I didnt expect it at the beginning of the year." Pikus-Pace, the 2007 world champion in St. Moritz, got silver in her comeback season after a two-year competitive break from the sport. "What a great day," Pikus-Pace said. "I felt so much better today and I am excited to be on the medal stand." One course record was broken by junior world champion Elena Nikitina of Russia, who got the fastest start on the historic course at 5.20 seconds to the first time check. Racers now head to Sochi, Russia, to complete the World Cup season in two weeks on the new sliding track built for the 2014 Winter Olympics. The final two runs of the mens skeleton will be held Saturday. [url=http://www.wholesalejerseysnfl.top/]cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys cheap jerseys cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
