WWE champ arrested
Wrestler Rich Swann is being held without bail in a Florida jail after he was arrested and charged with battery and false imprisonment.
Swann, who is 26 and a former WWE cruiserweight champion, was arrested Saturday.
WWE released a statement about Swann on Sunday.
"WWE has zero tolerance for matters involving domestic violence, and per our policy, Rich Swann has been suspended indefinitely following his arrest," it said.
According to Gainesville Police, Swann was arguing with his wife, who is also a wrestler. His wife -- whose name is Vannarah Riggs but goes by Su Yung -- had wrestled earlier in the evening in the northwest Florida city. The couple lives in Orlando.
A police report said Swann "critiqued" her performance and the pair began arguing.
A witness told police that Riggs jumped out of Swann's slowly moving car.
The report says the witness also saw Swann put Riggs in a headlock and dragged her back to his vehicle.
Riggs "screamed for help as (Swann) put her back in the car," the officer wrote in the report.
The car drove off and a witness saw Riggs exit the vehicle a second time. Riggs told officers that "she was afraid of (Swann) because he has a temper sometimes." She added that she was trying to get away from him so the argument wouldn't escalate into physical violence.
Swann told officers that he didn't touch his wife and that she got into the car on her own.
Swann will appear in court Monday. No attorney is listed in county records.
Wolverines top Kent
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) -- Hailey Brown and Hallie Thome each scored 11 points and No. 24 Michigan overcame a slow start to get past Kent State for a 54-41 win Sunday.
Michigan (8-2) got the first bucket of the game, a quick layup from Brown, but then went scoreless until the end of the first quarter when Kayla Robbins sank a 3-pointer to cut the gap to 12-5.
Kent State's Alexa Golden responded with a 3 to stretch the margin back to double figures as the opening quarter ended but then the Wolverines dug in, erasing the deficit with a 14-4 second quarter to tie it at 19 at halftime, and broke away at the end of the third with a 7-0 spurt to go up 38-28 with just over 10 minutes left in the game.
Thome and Deja Church each went 2 for 2 from the line during the late third-quarter run, which was capped with Nicole Munger's 3-pointer to give Michigan a double-digit advantage it protected the rest of the way.
Munger finished with 10 points and Jillian Dunston had seven rebounds to go with five assists for the Wolverines.
Kent State (6-5) got 15 points from Golden and Jordan Korinek had 10.
Man City builds huge lead
MANCHESTER, England (AP) -- Chants of "Ole!" rang out from a boisterous corner of Old Trafford as Manchester City saw out a record 14th straight Premier League win by keeping possession right in front of its jubilant fans.
Manchester United just couldn't get the ball off City near the corner flag in those painful last few minutes. One final humiliation on a day when City's players opened up a close-to-unassailable 11-point lead and again highlighted the gulf between them and the rest of the league.
All at the home of their biggest rival, too.
City won the Manchester derby 2-1 on Sunday to set an English record for consecutive top-flight victories in a single season and hand United its first loss at Old Trafford in any competition since September. City was the winner then, too.
With 16 games gone, City is unbeaten in the league -- having dropped only two points against Everton -- and looking unstoppable as it goes for its first league title under Pep Guardiola. Third-place Chelsea is 14 points off the pace, with its coach Antonio Conte having already given up on defending the trophy.
United manager Jose Mourinho, whose team remains City's closest challenger, said the title race was "probably" over, too, despite the season not having reached the halfway stage
Stanford wins NCAA title
CHESTER, Pa. (AP) -- Sam Werner ripped off his shirt, raced the length of the field and was smothered by a swarm of Stanford teammates.
Even for a budding dynasty, that championship feeling isn't getting old.
Werner scored in the second overtime to lead Stanford to its third straight NCAA men's soccer title with a 1-0 win over Indiana on Sunday.
The goal was blasted over goalkeeper Trey Muse's head from close range and sneaked just under the crossbar after an Indiana turnover in the box, setting off a wild celebration.
"I honestly need to watch the tape -- I'm not really sure what happened," Werner said.
Stanford coach Jeremy Gunn then leaned over and whispered something in the midfielder's ear during the postgame news conference.
"Oh yeah, you're right, I scored a bike," Werner said with a laugh.
The golden goal wasn't quite as pretty as a bicycle kick, but it sure was dramatic.
Before the College Cup final, Indiana (18-1-6) was the only team in the country without a loss. The Hoosiers were denied their first undefeated season in program history and their ninth national championship.
"Our guys had a special year," Indiana coach Todd Yeagley said. "We often say the best mark you can leave is putting a star on your jersey and we came really close today. But I do know this team will be talked about not only this year or next year but for many years to come."
The Cardinal (19-2-2), who came into the NCAA tournament as the No. 9 seed, is just the second men's soccer program to win three straight titles. Virginia, under former U.S. national team coach Bruce Arena, won four in a row from 1991 to 1994.
The Cardinal women won the national championship last weekend, making Stanford the first school to win both soccer titles in the same season.
"I don't think what it means to us and what it means to the university and program will sink in for a few weeks," said senior defender Tomas Hilliard-Arce, a key part of all three men's championship teams.
Anchored by Hilliard-Arce and Indiana's Grant Lillard, both teams' defenses limited scoring chances and controlled the flow of the game on a cold day at Talen Energy Stadium, home of Major League Soccer's Philadelphia Union. Hilliard-Arce and Lillard are finalists for the MAC Hermann Trophy, given to college soccer's best player, and Hilliard-Arce is expected to be one of the top picks in next month's MLS draft after ending his college career with three straight titles.
"I could do it again if you guys let me stay another year," the center back said.
With the defenses playing clean and organized soccer, the best first-half scoring chance came 10 minutes into the game, but Muse made a diving save on Stanford's Bryce Marion. The freshman goalie had another big stop to keep the game scoreless midway through the second half and snagged a deep shot in overtime.
Muse, who posted an NCAA record 18 shutouts this year and led the country in goals-against average, finished with five saves.
"He gave our group a lot of composure and consistency," Yeagley said. "I can't say enough about how good he was this year, and today was no different."
Both teams were coming off shutouts in Friday's semifinal matchups, with Stanford beating Akron 2-0 and second-seeded Indiana knocking off North Carolina 1-0.
Before their run of titles began in 2015, with U.S. national team forward and Seattle Sounders star Jordan Morris leading the way, the Cardinal had never won a men's soccer championship.
"The journey's been amazing," Gunn said. "We've been fortunate enough with hard work to be celebrating and standing at the end of the season three times."
