EL PASO — Don Haskins, credited with helping break color barriers in college sports in 1966 when he used five black starters to win a national basketball title for Texas Western, died Sunday. He was 78.

Texas-El Paso spokesman Jeff Darby said the Hall of Fame coach died Sunday afternoon at his home. UTEP was previously known as Texas Western.

Haskins was an old-time coach who believed in hard work and was known for his gruff demeanor. That attitude was portrayed in the 2006 movie "Glory Road," the Disney film that chronicled Haskins' improbable rise to national fame in the 1966 championship game against Kentucky.

The University of Arizona soccer team lost 2-1 in double overtime to host Texas on Sunday night.

Longhorns freshman Courtney Goodson headed in winner in the 105th minute.

She netted both goals for Texas, which extended its home unbeaten streak to 19 games, the longest stretch in program history.

Arizona opened the scoring in the 29th minute when freshman Renae Cuellar, who was alone at the top of the arc, fired the ball into the upper right corner. The goal was just the second allowed by the Longhorns this season.

PHOENIX — Diana Taurasi scored 33 points, her ninth 30-plus outing of the season, to lead the Phoenix Mercury past the Houston Comets 99-74 Sunday.

The defending WNBA champions avoided elimination and are still in the hunt for the last playoff spot in the Western Conference. The Mercury moved into sole possession of fifth place, two games behind fourth-place Sacramento.

RIETI, Italy — Tucsonan Bernard Lagat, who failed to win a medal in the Beijing Olympics, got a measure of revenge Sunday by winning the 1,500 meters at the Rieti Grand Prix in 3 minutes 32.75 seconds — not far off Daniel Komen's leading time this year of 3:31.49.
