Wide receiver Savion Williams rushed for a pair of touchdowns to lift TCU to a 20-13 victory over host Cincinnati on Saturday night.

Williams opened the scoring with a 2-yard scamper to the end zone just 3:42 into the game and later provided the Horned Frogs (8-4, 6-3 Big 12) with a 17-7 lead when he once again scored from 2 yards out with 7:34 to go in the second quarter.

A pair of first-half field goals from Kyle Lemmermann — a 27- and 35-yarder — allowed TCU to take a commanding 20-7 advantage into the break.

It wasn’t until the 5:15 mark of the fourth quarter that the Bearcats (5-7, 3-6) got any closer, doing so at the end of a 12-play, 94-yard drive. Quarterback Brendan Sorsby rushed for an 8-yard TD, but the point after was no good, leaving Cincinnati behind 20-13.

After eventually getting the ball back with one minute left in the game, the Bearcats managed to work their way to the TCU 40, where Sorsby let a deep ball fly that fell incomplete as the clock hit zeros.

Josh Hoover completed 18 of 35 passes for 212 yards and was picked off once as the Horned Frogs ended the regular season on a three-game winning streak. Hauss Hejny had 48 yards on eight carries to headline the rushing attack.

Sorsby was 21-for-34 passing for 160 yards and an interception. He also had 93 yards and the score on the ground on 12 touches.

Cincinnati rushed for 213 yards in all, getting 110 on 23 carries from Corey Kiner, who also found the end zone.

Kiner cut the Bearcats’ deficit to 10-7 with 11:12 remaining in the first half, punctuating a seven-play, 75-yard march with a 1-yard plunge over the goal line.

Despite losing, Cincinnati outgained the Horned Frogs 373-336.

Anton Forsberg made 29 saves for the Los Angeles Kings in a 2-0 win against the visiting Calgary Flames on Saturday afternoon.

Forsberg, who had allowed 16 goals while losing his previous four starts, posted his second shutout of the season and 10th in his 11-year NHL career.

Alex Laferriere and Adrian Kempe scored for the Kings, who had lost five in a row, most recently an 8-1 drubbing against the visiting Edmonton Oilers on Thursday.

Dustin Wolf made 35 saves for the Flames, who had won two in a row and three of four.

The Kings took a 1-0 lead at 15:36 of the second period.

Brandt Clarke started the play by making a diagonal pass from the neutral zone to Trevor Moore at the Calgary blue line. He skated in on Wolf before taking a wrist shot from the left circle that hit the near post.

Moore re-collected the puck in the corner, passed it to Quinton Byfield behind the net and he passed it out front to Laferriere. His initial shot from just below the right hash marks was saved, but Moore pulled the puck away from Wolf before he could cover it and Laferriere slapped in the puck from the side of the net for his 14th goal of the season.

The Flames went nearly 12 minutes without a shot on goal in the third period, helping the Kings maintain the one-goal advantage until Kempe scored into an empty net with 38 seconds left to make it 2-0.

Kempe has nine goals in his past 12 games against the Flames.

The Kings played without defenseman Drew Doughty (lower body) and forward Joel Armia (upper body), who were injured in the loss to Edmonton.

The Kings also announced on Saturday that winger Andrei Kuzmenko had surgery on a torn meniscus and is week-to-week.

The teams were tied after 20 minutes despite Ottawa holding a 16-2 advantage in shots on goal.
