PIONEERS SHUT OUT DARTMOUTH IN NONLEAGUE GAME
Tanner Jaillet posted his second shutout of the season with 23 saves as the second-ranked University of Denver defeated Dartmouth College 1-0 Friday night in a nonleague game at Magness Arena.
The Pioneers (10-3-4) got the lone goal when Jaakko Heikkinen scored on a power play at 16:00 of the second period.
The play was set up after Kohen Olischefski slipped a pass to Colin Staub, who fed Heikkinen for a onetimer from the left circle.
“Dartmouth came out a much better-prepared team than we were,” DU coach Jim Montgomery said in a team release. “I did like the way we responded in the second period and the way we played in the third period.”
Dartmouth fell to 2-8-1.
Former employee calls out ESPN.
CONN.» A former ESPN personality BRISTOL, has accused the network of trying to silence her and other women who assert they were subjected to a sexually hostile work environment.
Adrienne Lawrence made the accusation in a tweet Friday after ESPN published a friendly text message exchange between her and an anchor she had accused of misconduct.
Lawrence, who served a fellowship at ESPN, filed a complaint this past summer with the Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities.
She alleges, among other things, that she was not offered a permanent job at ESPN after complaining that anchor John Buccigross sent her unsolicited shirtless photos and used inappropriate nicknames for her.
Those accusations and others were detailed Thursday by The Boston Globe. Buccigross said in a statement to the newspaper that he considered her a friend and was sorry if he offended her.
ESPN said it investigated Lawrence’s complaints and found them without merit.
The Globe said Lawrence asked the Connecticut commission to withdraw her complaint so she could pursue a lawsuit instead. No lawsuits have been filed in the case.
