Korpivaara, a 6-foot-2 senior from Finland, scored eight points in the final 3:56 as the Pirates broke open a close game. She also led Seton Hall with seven rebounds. Ela Mukosiej came off the bench to add nine points.

Rams lose left tackle for remainder of season
SEATTLE - The St. Louis Rams lost Pro Bowl left tackle Orlando Pace for the season after he
tore his left triceps Sunday against Seattle.

"I felt something snap a little bit," Pace said. "I thought my elbow might have been dislocated or something like that, but when I got to the sideline, they told me it was a torn triceps."
Pace left in the second quarter of the Rams' 24-22 loss to the Seahawks, dropping them two games back in the NFC West. The Rams announced the injury at halftime as a torn biceps muscle, but afterward Pace and coach Scott Linehan said he tore his triceps. Pace's arm was wrapped and immobilized and said he'll have an MRI on Monday.
Linehan ruled Pace out for the year.

Pace, who has been selected to seven consecutive Pro Bowls, was injured while pass blocking with about five minutes remaining in the first half. After a seven-yard pass, he held his limp left arm at his side and called for trainers to assist him off the field.

Cornerback Travis Fisher left in the second half with a right forearm injury and did not return. Fisher said X-rays were inconclusive and he'd be further examined Monday.

"Sometimes on that, you reach out and the guy hits it just right," Linehan said.

WICHITA — Sean Ogirri scored 12 points as Wichita State beat Rockhill 71-47 Saturday night in the Shockers' season opener.
Ogirri, who missed Wichita State's two exhibition games because of a strained right knee and hip, hit two three-point shots as the Shockers pushed that advantage to 26-6. The Division II

Shockers defeat Rockhurst
It has been three seasons since Missouri's last winning team, a drought mixed with controversy that prompted the school to dump Quin Snyder and hire Mike Anderson as coach. And despite any excitement about coach Mike Anderson's debut this weekend, the Tigers still played their first two home games in a less-than-half-full Mizzou Arena.
The Shockers ended the first half with a 45-19 lead on 59.3 percent shooting. Five Wichita State players had at least six points by the break, led by Ogirr's nine.
"If you build it," center Kalen Grimes said, "they will come."
Hawks, who were officially playing an exhibition, made only two field goals in the first 12 minutes.
After having more turnovers (nine) than baskets (eight) in the first half, Rockhurst had its best stretch immediately following half-time. Three-pointers from Aaron Hill, John Torson and Joey Deas

But Wichita State answered in highlight fashion. Phil Thomasson's dunk off a Gal Mekel pass and another Ogirri three-point shot capped a quick 7-0 run and the Shockers recaptured the moment.
— a 22-footer on the backboard
— cut Wichita State's lead to 49-32 with 15:22 remaining in the game.
Deas led the Hawks with 12 points, and Torson had 11 points.
PJ. Couisnard and Wilson each had 11 points for Wichita State.
The last of Snyder's seven seasons at Missouri resulted in a 12-16 record and an average of 9,951 people per home game, which ranked sixth in the Big 12 Conference. In Anderson's first game Friday, a 101-80 win over North
Carolina A&T, the announced attendance was 6,230. More people were in the seats for Saturday's 67-58 win against Army, but at 7,386 that meant the arena was still less than half of its capacity of 15,061.

Grimes said Anderson has mentioned to the players that winning games will create plenty of excitement.
Marshall Brown played to a half-empty home crowd for much of his first two seasons at Missouri. Though he agrees that winning will put fans in the seats, a less-than-full stadium doesn't bother him too much right now.
"That's what were playing for," he said. "We're playing to win, we're playing for ourselves and we're playing for Mizzou."
"I think it helps if you have that support really backing you," he said. "But if not, you know, we practice by ourselves every day, so I don't think the crowd has an effect on how hard we play."
Fans began to trickle in during the second half as Missouri's game with Army neared, yet fewer than 1,000 were watching at the finish.
"Those games should be the ones that test your mental toughness," he said. "Anybody can get up for a big rivalry game or a conference game or whatever. These are the ones you have to qrit out."
"You play because of the spirit of the game. You don't play because there are people there or not." North Carolina A&T coach Jerry Eaves said. "There will be people in the gym when the games mean something."
Following Stetson's 72-69 win over North Carolina A&T, played earlier Saturday, Stetson coach Derek Waugh guessed about 31 fans were watching. He was pretty close. Twenty-two seats were actually filled at the tip-off.
The three visiting teams in the John Thompson Foundation Classic have had it much worse.
Waugh said he expected the low turnout and he was proud of how his team handled it.
