USA thumps Grenada 3-0 in opening Cup qualifier

The Enquirer and wire reports

The U.S. soccer team opened 2006 World Cup qualifying with a 3-0 victory over Grenada Sunday at Columbus Crew Stadium.

DaMarcus Beasley scored twice and Greg Vanney scored once. The U.S. will play at Grenada next Sunday in the second leg.

The winners of four home-and-home, total-goals series, which conclude next weekend, advance to one of three semifinal groups in the North and Central American and Caribbean region.

Tennis

GERRY WEBER OPEN: Wimbledon champ Roger Federer beat Mardy Fish 6-0, 6-3 to retain his title in Germany and run his winning streak on grass to 17 matches. The top-ranked Swiss won his fifth title this year.

DFS CLASSIC: Russian Maria Sharapova won her first singles title of the year, topping fellow teen Tatiana Golovin 4-6, 6-2, 6-1 in the grass-court event in England.

• Martina Navratilova doesn't know whether she will play Wimbledon singles.

Diving

OLYMPIC TRIALS: Laura Wilkinson, a surprise winner of the 10-meter platform at Sydney four years ago, earned a chance to defend her gold medal at the Athens Olympics. High schooler Brittany Viola finished second at St. Peters, Mo.

IOC rules limit the number of spots for each country, so Viola won't be on the Olympic team. The second spot in platform will go to the highest-scoring member of the winning synchro team, Sara Hildebrand.

Rowing

OLYMPICS: Five U.S. crews, including the lightweight men's double sculls with Wyoming High graduate Greg Ruckman, will try to earn berths to the Olympics at the Olympic Qualification Regatta this week in Lucerne, Switzerland.

Colleges

UC TRACK: Senior Chris Wineberg broke his own school record in the decathlon (7,584 points) for eighth place at the NCAA Championships on Saturday. He became the first UC decathlete to earn All-America honors.

Senior David Payne's sixth-place finish in the 110-meter hurdles meant UC produced two All-Americans for the first time since 1973.

Boxing

WBC BANKRUPT: The World Boxing Council plans to initiate bankruptcy liquidation proceedings today. The WBC filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2003 to keep from paying a $31 million judgment awarded to Graciano Rocchigiani, who had his light heavyweight title taken away.

HALL OF FAME: Former welterweight champion Carlos Palomino was among seven living boxers and ring personalities inducted Sunday.

Horse racing

KEEPING WITH JONES: Smarty Jones may still be racing next year, but the colt's owners are planning his retirement. Pat and Roy Chapman toured breeding farms in Kentucky, looking for a place for the Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner to embark on his career as a stallion. They will choose from nine finalists.

QUARTER HORSES: All About Ease closed strong on the outside to win the $500,000 Ruidoso Futurity for 2-year-old quarter horses.

Football

ARENA LEAGUE: Sherdrick Bonner's touchdown pass to Siaha Burley with 17 seconds lifted Arizona to a 45-41 win over the Colorado Crush and into the June 27 Arena Bowl against San Jose.

Hockey

HOCKEY: Former Miami University coach Mark Mazzoleni, 45, coach at Harvard the past five seasons, has been offered the job as coach of the United States League's Green Bay Gamblers.
