Football College additions

Some players and coaches were inadvertently omitted from the small college roundup that appeared in our football supplement.

Laurel Highlands graduate Brian Mason is a redshirt freshman center at West Liberty State College. Mason is battling for a starting job. Also, Uniontown graduate Bill McLee might be playing for West Liberty State this season.

Albert Gallatin graduate Jared Plisko has been hired as running backs coach at Waynesburg College. Plisko just finished a four-year stint as a player for the Yellow Jackets.

Uniontown graduates Andrew Rossi and Brian Liptock are involved with the Bethany College team. Rossi is a defensive coach and Liptock is a freshman guard for the Bison.

Logjam atop LPGA event

DUBLIN, Ohio (AP) – Defending champion Catriona Matthew was one of five players tied for the lead Thursday – in the biggest first-round logjam this year on the LPGA Tour – at the Wendy’s Championship for Children

Matthew shot a shot 6-under-par 66, a score matched by Paula Marti, Soo-Yun Kang, Heather Daly-Donofrio and Marisa Baena. Another nine players were a shot back as the 144-player field took advantage of soft greens and a short course to post 69 subpar scores.

The five leaders make up an international team all by themselves, representing Scotland (Matthew), Spain (Marti), South Korea (Kang), the United States (Daly-Donofrio) and Colombia (Baena).

Quigley shares lead

ALOHA, Ore. (AP) – Dana Quigley could hardly believe he made a 451/2-foot eagle putt to close out the first round of the Tradition on Thursday.

“Seemed like 25,” he said, joking. “I must be putting well.”

The putt on No. 18 gave Quigley 5-under 67 and a share of the lead at the Tradition, the final major of the year on the Champions Tour. Loren Roberts, John Harris and D.A. Weibring also were at 5 under at the Reserve Vineyards & Golf Club in the suburbs west of Portland Thursday.
