KONIGSSEE, Germany - Noelle Pikus-Pace of the United States won the final World Cup skeleton race of her career Friday, her fourth victory of the season. Pikus-Paces time was 52.92 seconds, 0.44 seconds ahead of Janine Flock of Austria and a half-second up on Shelley Rudman of Britain. Snow forced the cancellation of the second heat. Jane Channell of North Vancouver, B.C., was the lone Canadian in the field. She finished 18th. Elizabeth Yarnold of Britain finished ninth, clinching the overall World Cup title. She finished 152 points ahead of Pikus-Pace in the standings, benefitting from the Americans disqualification and loss of 225 points in the opening race of the year after British officials complained about the way tape was applied to one of Pikus-Paces sled handles. Pikus-Pace is retiring after next months Sochi Olympics, where she will be a medal favourite. Didi Gregorius Yankees Jersey . "Yeah, [I heard them]," he said. "They made me miss the free throw."

Combined with Buffalos win over Green Bay earlier Sunday, the Seahawks moved into a position where a No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs is now possible.The Niners came out really going for it. They did a great job planning, Carroll said. They did a lot of new stuff and some things that challenged us on defence today, early in the game. Fortunately, our guys settled down and figured some stuff out and did a really good job of adjusting, and just really didnt give up anything in the second half.Marshawn Lynch rushed for 91 yards and a touchdown and Russell Wilson added a 10-yard TD pass to Paul Richardson in the fourth quarter as Seattle rallied from a 7-3 halftime deficit.The 49ers (7-7) played better than they did during their 19-3 loss to Seattle on Thanksgiving night, but the result was the same.Its definitely tough. Especially for me. Im very competitive. I always feel like Im supposed to win, 49ers wide receiver Anquan Boldin said. I cant tell you the last time I didnt make the playoffs.Here are some other things that stood out from Seattles win:INJURY LIST: In a season filled with key injuries, the 49ers lost two more players late in the first half and another in the third quarter. Running back Frank Gore, who scored on a 10-yard run in the second quarter, left with a concussion. Middle linebacker Chris Borland, the NFC defensive rookie of the month in November, hurt his ankle on the final play of the first half. He attempted to return, but was mostly a spectator and repplaced by Nick Moody.ddddddddddddGores backup, Carlos Hyde, was bent backward and appeared to injure his right leg late in the third quarter. And that was on top of San Francisco being without starting offensive linemen Marcus Martin and Anthony Davis, and cornerback Chris Culliver.They played as tough as you could want them, and they were right there the whole time, Carroll said. They had a lot of guys stepping in. A lot of credit goes to those guys.BRING THE HEAT: Because of San Franciscos banged-up offensive line, Seattles defensive line was consistently successful in getting pressure on Colin Kaepernick. Seattle finished with a season-high six sacks. Second-year defensive tackle Jordan Hill had a pair of sacks, while Bobby Wagner, Bruce Irvin, K.J. Wright and Kevin Williams were all credited with one.SECOND-HALF SHUTOUT: San Francisco had 178 total yards in the first half after gaining 164 for the entire game in the first meeting. San Francisco had only six plays of 10 yards or more in the first meeting and none longer than 16 yards. They had eight plays of 10 or more yards in the first half Sunday.Those plays disappeared in the second half. San Francisco had 6 total yards in the third quarter and 67 for the second half.It was a position that we thought we could put our running backs, myself and offensively in a positive situation to have good plays, we did move the ball well at the beginning of the game, but we have to be able to sustain that for 60 minutes, Kaepernick said.COLIN ON THE RUN: For the first time in four career games in Seattle, Kaepernick did not commit a turnover and had a passer rating of 81.3. But unlike the NFC championship game last January, Kaepernicks running was not a factor. After Kaepernick was unable to be a threat in the run game on Thanksgiving night, Seattle expected more designed run plays this time.They were right. But aside from a 22-yard run, Kaepernick was mostly corralled and had only one other run longer than 5 yards.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
