SOCCER

Lisa Silwinki scored off a free kick in the 107th minute to give Baylor a 2-1 overtime win over Kansas on Sunday in Waco, Texas. Emily Cressy scored the Jayhawks' only goal. KU dropped to 10-6-1 overall and 2-5 in Big 12 play.

* The Newman women battled back for a 1-1 tie against No. 18 Incarnate Word in Wichita. Heather Baloga scored the only goal for the Jets.

BASKETBALL

The New York Knicks' 106-91 exhibition victory over Maccabi Tel Aviv in New York was delayed for about 8 minutes in the third quarter when the visiting coach refused to leave the floor after being ejected.

In a bizarre scene, a rabbi even came onto the court to ask the referees to let Pini Gershon remain. Gershon eventually left after a discussion with the officials, his assistant coaches and NBA security personnel.

Gershon was hit with two quick technical fouls in the third quarter, the second coming on a play that went against the Knicks. New York's Al Harrington was called for an offensive foul right in front of the Maccabi bench, and Gershon quickly started screaming at replacement referee Ben Taylor, who ejected him.

When Gershon didn't seem to be listening to any of the basketball officials, Rabbi Yitchak Dovid Grossman, founder and dean of Migdal Ohr, tried to get involved by talking to the referees. But rules say anyone who is ejected must leave the court, and eventually Gershon did.

Migdal Ohr, the world's largest orphanage, received the proceeds from the exhibition game between the Knicks and the Euroleague team from Israel.

FOOTBALL

Former St. Louis Rams running back Marshall Faulk said he hasn't been contacted about joining the group headed by Dave Checketts that is bidding to buy the team. But he said he'd welcome the chance to become a co-owner of that club.

"I don't have any involvement as of today," he said Sunday on "NFL Gameday Morning," which airs on NFL Network. "I have not been contacted by Dave Checketts' group. I have not talked to Dave Checketts at all about this."

A report surfaced on ESPN.com last week that Faulk might be considered to replace Rush Limbaugh, who was dropped from the Checketts group amid much controversy last week. Faulk said he would be interested in having an ownership stake in the Rams.

"I would say yes, I would love to be a part owner," he said."... That would be a great honor, but I haven't talked to them at all."
