Troy Terry scored twice, including the game-winner at 1:29 of overtime in a 6-5 win for the Anaheim Ducks against the visiting Buffalo Sabres on Sunday.

Beckett Sennecke, Chris Kreider and Jackson LaCombe each had a goal and an assist for the Ducks (39-27-4, 82 points), who have won three of their past four games. Ville Husso made 24 saves.

Zach Benson and Owen Power each had a goal and an assist, and Alex Lyon made 27 saves for the Sabres (44-20-7, 95 points), who had won four straight.

Down by two after two periods, Buffalo’s Jack Quinn narrowed it to 4-3 when he fired a snap shot from the top of the right circle that went far side with 15:20 left in the third.

Power’s point shot off a face-off deflected of an Anaheim player in front to tie it 4-4 at the 10:05 mark.

Benson then put Buffalo ahead 5-4 at 11:37 expired. Husso was at the left of the crease when Rasmus Dahlin (two assists) sent a backhand centering feed out front to Benson, who put it into the open net.

With Husso pulled for the extra attacker, Anaheim’s Mikael Granlund tied it 5-5 from the slot on the power play at 18:16.

Sennecke had put Anaheim ahead 3-2 at 2:35 of the second period. He took the puck at the Buffalo blue line and went unimpeded to the net before putting it past Lyon’s left skate.

Terry gathered a rebound off the right wall and brought it to the slot to beat Lyon with a backhand, pushing it to 4-2 at 15:40.

Alex Tuch gave Buffalo a 1-0 lead at 3:36 of the first period. Power collected the puck behind the net and sent a no-look backhand feed to Tuch, who quickly snapped it past Husso.

Kreider tied it 1-1 on the power play at 9:27 with a one-timer that went high glove side on Lyon.

LaCombe’s shot from the blue line through traffic on the power play made it 2-1 at 12:23.

Josh Doan tied it 2-2 off the rush at 17:14, taking a pass through the slot from Noah Ostlund and quickly roofing it short side.

Hyo Joo Kim never loses grip on lead, captures Fortinet Founders Cup

South Korea’s Hyo Joo Kim went wire to wire, holding off Nelly Korda to win the Fortinet Founders Cup by one stroke Sunday in Menlo Park, Calif.

Kim became an eight-time winner on the LPGA Tour, including this event in 2015 in Phoenix, with a 1-over-par 73 for a total of 16-under 272 at Sharon Heights Golf & Country Club, which hosted the event for the first time.

The 30-year-old had led by two shots after the opening round, four through Friday’s play and five after three rounds.

Ranked No. 8 in the world, Kim saw her five-stroke lead evaporate after 10 holes. She bogeyed Nos. 2, 8, 12, 16 and 18 to make for a dramatic finish. She countered with birdies at Nos. 6, 7, 11 and 14.

“I don’t think I was necessarily shaken up or my emotions were all over the place,” Kim said through a translator. “I was just trying to keep my focus on my shots and what I was doing. So I think was just trying to keep and lock in on that.”

Kim hit nine of 14 fairways and 12 of 18 greens in regulation, taking 30 putts.

“I think just in the back nine my two par saves were probably the things I’m proudest about today,” Kim said. “Just because my shots weren’t playing as well.”

Korda, ranked No. 2 in the world, entered the day in second place and stayed there after firing a 3-under 69 for 15 under for the tournament.

She bookended birdies at Nos. 2 and 17 with birdies at Nos. 3, 5, 6, 7, 9 and 10 to tie for the lead at 17 under, then carded a bogey at No. 12.

Korda missed a 3-footer on No. 17 for a three-putt bogey to drop to 15 under, which provided Kim with a two-stroke cushion as they went to the 18th hole.

“The front nine was great,” Korda said. “Kind of battled a little bit more on the back nine. Wasn’t really kind of producing as much as I was on the front nine. Obviously, something like 17 stings, so it is what it is. It’s golf. It’s a quick turnaround. There is next week. So, just going to take all the positives.”

Korda hit 12 of 14 fairways and 14 of 18 greens in regulation while totaling 32 putts.

South Korea’s Jin Hee Im (69 on Sunday) and Sei Young Kim (67) tied for third at 11-under.

World No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul of Thailand shot 73 and tied for 14th at 8-under.

Kenyon Giles pours in 28 points as Wichita State rolls over Oklahoma State

Kenyon Giles put on a show as he connected on eight 3-pointers and scored 28 points, leading Wichita State to a dominant 96-70 victory over Oklahoma State in the second round of the NIT Sunday night in Stillwater, Okla.

Giles shot 8-of-16 from long range while four others finished in double figures. Karon Boyd and Michael Gray Jr. scored 13 points apiece, Dillon Battie added 12 points and 10 rebounds and Dre Kindell chipped in 11 for the Shockers (24-11), who are in the NIT for the 15th time in program history.

Christian Coleman’s double-double of 22 points and 10 rebounds wasn’t enough for the Cowboys (20-15), who also got 19 points out of Kanye Clary.

Any thoughts of the Cowboys getting a boost from the return of three of their top players from a suspension in the opening round, including leading scorer Anthony Roy, didn’t pan out.

Roy, the team’s leading scorer, was limited to seven points, well below his average (17.2), Vyctorius Miller tallied eight points and Isaiah Coleman managed two.

Oklahoma State didn’t score in the 3:05 of the first half but took its first lead of the day at 47-46 on a layup by Coleman with 17:07 remaining.

Tied at 48-48, Giles hit a 3-pointer to ignite a 6-0 run as the Shockers pulled in front 54-48 with 14:40 left.

Battie’s layup at the 11:25 mark stretched the Wichita State lead to double digits at 61-51. Giles all but sealed the deal for the Shockers when he connected from 3-point range for the fifth time, extending the lead to 68-53 with 9:21 left.

The two teams were meeting in the NIT for the second year in a row after the Cowboys won last year’s matchup 89-79.

Giles did his best to make sure history didn’t repeat itself, drilling back-to-back 3-pointers in the span of 29 seconds to propel the Shockers to a 10-2 lead with 15:21 to go, the first of the two going down on a shot from the OSU logo.

The Cowboys did themselves no favors in trying to erase the deficit, missing eight consecutive shots from the floor before Benjamin Ahmed ended the drought to cut the Wichita State lead to 15-6 with 13:31 to play.

The Shockers held a lead of 24-10 midway through the first half but the Cowboys were only down 32-26 with 5:13 to go after Roy drilled a 3-pointer.

A 12-2 run for the Cowboys got them within 34-31 with 3:42 left but the Shockers weathered the storm and led 44-37 at the half thanks to a 3-pointer from Boyd with 14 seconds left.
