PIESTANY, Czech Republic -- Canada has a chance to win its sixth straight gold medal at the Ivan Hlinka Memorial under-18 mens hockey tournament. Spencer Watson and Sam Bennett scored first-period goals and Clark Bishop added an empty-netter as Canada defeated Russia 3-1 in Fridays semifinal. Canadian head coach Dale Hunter praised his penalty killers for preventing the Russians from scoring with a 5-on-3 man advantage in the third period. "They played very well and killed it off and that was the difference in the game," Hunter said. Watson beat Russian netminder Sergei Korobov just 39 seconds into the game. Later in the frame, Watson found Bennett for a tap-in power-play goal to give Canada a two-goal edge. Russias Damir Sharipzyanov cut into the lead with a power-play goal in the second period. Bishop iced the victory with 62 seconds left in the third. The United States defeated the Czech Republic 5-3 in the late semifinal. Ryan Wagner scored the go-ahead goal midway through the third period and Cody Milan added an empty-netter. "The guys really dug down deep to get the win," said American head coach Bob Corkum. "It was really hot and humid in the arena, but they battled through everything and got the job done when it mattered. "Now its important for them to get rest and fluids with the quick turnaround, and then well get ready for tomorrow." The Americans last appeared in the title game in 2010. Hunter said his team has displayed plenty of character throughout the tournament and hes confident theyll be ready for the championship game. "Theyre sacrificing," Hunter said. "I put some kids into certain roles and theyre all buying in." Canada was first in the Group A standings despite finishing tied with the Swiss and Czech Republic with five points apiece. The Canadians beat the Czechs and Switzerland during the preliminary round. Canada claimed a semifinal berth with a 4-3 win over Switzerland on Wednesday. Bobby Hebert Jersey .

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- A pair of seven-footers ended up having a big night for Florida State.Michael Ojo recorded the first double-double of his career -- 13 points and 10 rebounds (both career highs) -- and Christ Koumadje had a career high 14 points as Florida State defeated Winthrop 100-86 on Friday.It makes it so much easier. When Ojo and Christ play big-time like that, it opens up so much for us, said guard Xavier Rathan-Mayes, who had seven points and nine assists.Ojo, a 7-foot-1 senior center, missed last season due to a knee injury. Nine of his points came from the line, where he has struggled in the past. Ojo made only 40.2 percent of his foul shots his first three years but was 9 of 12 on Friday and is making 75 percent (12 of 16) for the season.When I came back after my rehab this is one of the things Ive been working on consistently, Ojo said.
