SHANNON GETS FOUR YEAR EXTENTION AT THE U

After months of negotiating, the University of Miami and football coach Randy Shannon finally have come to an agreement.

Shannon, 44, signed a new four-year contract on Wednesday. Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but it ends any uncertainty about the program's confidence in Shannon.

"There's no other place I'd rather be than coaching Hurricanes football," Shannon said in a statement. "I'm excited about the momentum we continue to build and our strong recruiting classes."

PLEASE STOP. For some reason the Olympics just can’t help themselves when it comes to stupid mascots. Evidently, London felt the need to pay homage to the Teletubbies and the Cyclops all at the same time…

VIRGINIA LAX WOMEN ADVANCE

The University of Virginia’s women’s lacrosse team, playing for the first time since their teammate Yeardley Love was murdered, surged past Towson to win 14-12 advancing to the quarterfinals of the NCAA tournament.

The UVA players wore shirts under their jerseys with the phrase “One Team. One Heart. One Love.” They had black patches on the front of their jerseys with the word “LOVE” in white letters.

Towson wore orange wristbands with “Y.L.” in dark blue. The Towson players gave their counterparts pins of an angel carrying a lacrosse stick and wished them well the rest of the tournament.

The Cavaliers (14-5) will play at ACC rival North Carolina this weekend.

HEELS SNEAK BY HENS

Fourth-ranked North Carolina got three goals each from Marcus Holman and Sean DeLaney to advance past No. 12 Delaware 14-13 in the first round of the 2010 NCAA Division I at Fetzer Field Sunday night. The game was delayed at the start for one and a half hours because of lightning. The game featured 10 ties and four lead changes.

The Tar Heels advance to the NCAA quarterfinals for the third time in the last four seasons and will face Duke again as they did in 2007 and 2009. That game will be played on Saturday, May 22 at Princeton, N.J. at 2:30 p.m and televised nationally on ESPNU.

Fifth-seeded Duke advanced to the quarterfinals Saturday with a lambasting of Johns Hopkins 18-5. Duke has won the previous two quarterfinal matchups against the Tar Heels. UNC won this year's regular season meeting 13-7 in Durham on March 10.
