ANTIGONISH, N.S. -- The St. FX X-Women avenged their shutout loss to Guelph in last years national final with a convincing 37-0 victory over the Gryphons in the gold-medal match of the 2012 Canadian university womens rugby championship Sunday. Playing in front of a partisan home crowd of over 5,000 blue-and-white-clad fans, the X-Women led 5-0 at halftime but exploding for 32 points after the break en route to the third CIS title in school history. The 15-time AUS conference champions were playing in a remarkable fifth straight CIS final, and their sixth in the last seven years. The X-Women were defeated 28-0 by Guelph in the 2011 title match. St. FX captain Asya Bartley scored the lone try of the first half in the 17th minute before Tyson Beukeboom, Lisa Gauthier, with two, Tina Hansen, Amanda Thornborough and Allie Munroe added second-half tries, while Magali Harvey contributed a convert. Beukeboom, a three-time AUS player of the year and three-time all-Canadian from Uxbridge, Ont., was named tournament MVP, while Thornborough earned game-MVP honours. St. FX head coach Mike Cavanagh, named CIS coach of the year before the tournament, said the final score was deceiving. "It was tough. I dont think the score shows how good Guelph really played. The first half was touch-and-go right until the break," said Cavanagh, whose team finished the season a perfect 13-0. "Guelph played like the champions they are, so it was a tough game." In the bronze-medal game, the Alberta Pandas defeated the Concordia Stingers 34-15. wholesale jerseys from china . -- The Washington Capitals have signed free agent defenceman Jack Hillen to a one-year contract worth $650,000. cheap jerseys . -- The Florida Panthers have acquired centre Casey Wellman from the New York Rangers in exchange for a fifth-round pick in the 2014 draft. http://www.chinanfljerseyswholesal... . 3, 2012.

Bartolo Colon (7-8) gave up seven hits and a walk with five strikeouts over 5 2/3 innings. FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Stephen Gostkowski lay face down on the field after missing a shot at a winning field goal. On the sideline, Kevin Kolb and the Arizona Cardinals celebrated their victory. The most accurate kicker in New England Patriots history sent a 42-yard attempt wide to the left on the next to last play -- after making three longer field goals -- and the Cardinals held on for a 20-18 win on Sunday. "Nobody really gave us a chance," said Arizona coach Ken Whisenhunt, whose team was a two-touchdown underdog, "but our guys believed they could do it and its great to see them operate that way." Backup quarterback Kolb did his part by throwing for one touchdown and running for another. Arizonas defence contributed by sacking Tom Brady four times. And the special teams came through with a blocked punt that set up a touchdown. "We knew what kind of game this was going to be," said Kolb, filling in for John Skelton, who sat out with a sprained right ankle. "Weve been kind of stressing it all week, stay patient, dont get greedy." The Patriots began their final possession after Vince Wilfork recovered a fumble by Ryan Williams at the Cardinals 30-yard line with 1:01 left. A 30-yard run into the end zone by Danny Woodhead was nullified by a holding penalty against Rob Gronkowski. New England then moved to the 24 before Tom Brady spiked the ball to stop the clock with 6 seconds remaining. But Gostkowski sent his kick to the left, just as Billy Cundiff did facing the same goal post on a 32-yard attempt with 11 seconds left in the Patriots 23-20 AFC championship win over Baltimore last season. They visit the Ravens next Sunday. "I had a chance to win and it came down to me and I didnt pull through, and it stinks," said Gostkowski, who had been 3-for-3 in his career on field goal attempts in the final two minutes with a chance to tie or win a game. Coach Bill Belichick placed the blame on the entire team. "There are a lot of things we could have done better today all the way around, all of us," he said. "Plenty of mistakes out there." The Cardinals (2-0) have won nine of their last 11 games. The Patriots (1-1) suffered a big loss when tight end Aaron Hernandez, their most versatile offensive player, hurt his right ankle in the first quarter. He left Gillette Stadium wearing a walking boot and carrying crutches. The Patriots gave no update on the injury. "Aarons in there almost every play," wide receiver Wes Welker said, "so it changes quite a bit." Kolb overcame a shaky start and then threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Andre Roberts 6 minutes into the third quarter after Quentiin Groves blocked a punt.dddddddddddd Then Kolb ran for a 5-yard score on the third play of the fourth as the Cardinals took a 20-9 lead. "Its not like we played the perfect game. So, we have a lot to improve on," Kolb said. "If you can get those ugly wins checked off in the win column, thats big." With the Patriots trailing 20-12 after Gostkowskis 53-yard field goal, Brady led his best drive of the game. He completed eight of 10 passes for 82 yards, capped by a 5-yard touchdown throw to Gronkowski, making it 20-18 with 2:06 left. But his pass to Gronkowski for a 2-point conversion was broken up by Kerry Rhodes. The loss was the first in 11 home openers since the Patriots moved into Gillette Stadium in 2002. The Cardinals ended a five-game losing streak against the Patriots, beating them for the first time since Sept. 29, 1991. The Patriots made numerous uncharacteristic mistakes. Patrick Peterson intercepted Brady on the Patriots first offensive play and the Cardinals blocked a punt by Zoltan Mesko, the first time that happened to him in 122 punts as a pro. That block gave Arizona the ball at the Patriots 2. After Williams ran for no gain and Kolb threw an incompletion, the quarterback hit Roberts on a quick slant for the touchdown. The teams were tied at 6 after a lacklustre half in which Jay Feely kicked field goals of 38 and 47 yards before Gostkowski tied it with kicks of 46 and 34 yards. Brady completed 28 of 46 passes for 316 yards and extended his streak to 34 games with at least one touchdown pass, fourth-best in NFL history. But the Patriots were content to let Gostkowski try a 42-yarder at the end as Brady took a knee on two straight plays to run time off before spiking the ball. "Its just a decision that coach (Belichick) makes," Brady said. "We shouldnt have been leaving it up to that particular situation. We were fortunate to get that defensive turnover there late. We just came up short." Kolb completed 15 of 27 passes for 140 yards with one sack and no interceptions, and that was good enough to pull off the upset. "Coming down here to get a W can definitely propel our season to the next level," Peterson said. "Some guys in the locker room described it as a statement game. But well have to wait and see what the rest of the season has for us." NOTES: Welker became the Patriots all-time leading receiver with 562 catches after making five on Sunday. He began the day tied with Troy Brown at 557. ... Brown was honoured at halftime after being named to the Patriots Hall of Fame. ... The Cardinals won despite being outgained 387 yards to 245. ... The Patriots held Larry Fitzgerald to one catch for 4 yards. ' ' '
