SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) - Chris Conner scored his first goal of the
season with 7:04 remaining in the third period to lift the Penguins
to a 3-2 victory over the Florida Panthers last night. Kris Letang
and Sidney Crosby had power-play goals for the Penguins, who came
into the game ranked 25th in the league with the man advantage.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - James van Riemsdyk snapped a third-period
tie with his first goal of the season and the Flyers rallied to
beat the Canadiens 3-2 last night. Claude Giroux and Ville Leino
also scored for the Flyers, who trailed 2-0 after the first period.
Philadelphia has won consecutive games after dropping the previous
two.

NEW YORK (AP) - Oakland Raiders defensive lineman Richard
Seymour has been fined $25,000 for striking Pittsburgh quarterback
Ben Roethlisberger in the helmet. Seymour is being fined for
unnecessary roughness in the second quarter of the Steelers' 35-3
victory on Sunday.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Eagles cornerback Ellis Hobbs, who was down
on the field for 11 minutes during Sunday night's 27-17 win over
the Giants, suffered a disc injury in his neck, an MRI revealed
yesterday, and will be out at least one week. Hobbs was injured
during the kickoff return to open the second half, when he was
involved in a helmet-to-helmet collision with Giants defensive
lineman Dave Tollefson.

CHICAGO (AP) - Stopping Eagles quarterback Michael Vick may be
the best way for the Chicago Bears to get people to believe they
are for real. Beating Minnesota, Detroit, Dallas, Buffalo and
Carolina helped supply the Bears with a winning record, but not an
impressive resume.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. (AP) - Jeff Brooks scored 21 points and
Taran Buie added 14 as Penn State used a hot start in the second
half to pull away from Central Connecticut State 77-61 on Monday
night. Brooks was a perfect 7 of 7 from the field and 6 of 6 from
the foul line.

HARRISONBURG, Va. (AP) - Darryl Shazier scored 16 points and
Bucknell routed Presbyterian 71-47 in the O'Reilly Auto Parts CBC
Classic last night. The Bison led 40-20 at halftime after shooting
15 of 29 from the floor, including 8 of 15 from 3-point range in
the first half.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (AP) - Villanova has won the women's team
title at the NCAA championships in Indiana. Villanova's Sheila Reid
overtook Oregon sophomore Jordan Hasay to win the 6,000-meter race
in 20 minutes, 6.9 seconds. Villanova won the women's competition
with 120 points, followed by Florida State and Texas Tech.
