Turner Sports announced that the first Winter Goodwill Games will be held at Lake Placid, N.Y., next Feb. 17-20. There will be competition in seven sports--bobsled, figure skating, luge, skiing, ski jumping, snowboarding and short-track speedskating.

UC Irvine center Stan Divranos said doctors have recommended that he not play next year because of a lower back strain, which limited him to five games last season. Divranos, a 6-foot-8 sophomore, will retain his scholarship. Irvine officials probably will petition the NCAA for a medical hardship, which would give the team an extra scholarship. It would leave Coach Pat Douglass with three scholarships to offer.

Colby Jackson and Duncan Oughton scored and goalkeeper Sean Rockwell stopped six shots as Cal State Fullerton beat the Galaxy, 2-0, at Titan Field. The Galaxy is 7-1-2 in the preseason.

Randy Harvey is on assignment.
