Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Rookie Fernando Tatis Jr. and Hunter Renfroe homered as the San Diego Padres overcame another home run by Paul Goldschmidt and beat St. Louis 5-3 in the Cardinals’ home opener. Goldschmidt drew a standing ovation in his first at-bat at Busch Stadium since being traded to St. Louis. He later hit his fifth home run in seven games this season. Tatis, whose father _ Fernando Sr. _ played three seasons for the Cardinals, hit a two-run drive in the seventh.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Kansas forward K.J. Lawson says he plans to transfer for the second time. This time it would be as a graduate transfer, leaving him with two years of eligibility remaining. Lawson and his brother, All-Big 12 forward Dedric Lawson, sat out last season after transferring from Memphis. K.J. Lawson appeared in 35 games and averaged 3.1 points and 2.0 rebounds.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — New Nebraska basketball coach Fred Hoiberg will be required to pay the university between $5 million and $11 million if he leaves to take a college coaching job in the first five years of his contract. The terms of Hoiberg’s agreement are in a memorandum of understanding. Hoiberg will be paid $2.5 million in the first year of his seven-year, $25 million contract. That rises to $3 million next year and to $3.5 million for each of the following five years.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Rookie Fernando Tatis Jr. and pinch-hitter Hunter Renfroe homered as the San Diego Padres overcame another home run by Paul Goldschmidt and beat St. Louis 5-3 Friday in the Cardinals’ home opener.

Goldschmidt drew a standing ovation in his first at-bat at Busch Stadium since being traded to St. Louis. He hit his fifth home run in seven games this season, connecting in the eighth inning off Trey Wingenter.

The 20-year-old Tatis, whose father — Fernando Sr. — played three seasons for the Cardinals, hit a two-run drive in the seventh off Alex Reyes (0-1). Tatis’ second homer of the year helped the Padres score three times in the inning for a 5-2 lead.
Padres starter Nick Margevicius allowed one hit over five innings, striking out one and walking one. In his major league debut, he gave up three hits and one run over five innings last weekend against San Francisco.

St. Louis starter Jack Flaherty tossed five shutout innings. He gave up six hits, but stranded eight runners. Reliever Robert Stock (1-0) picked up the win despite giving up the tying run on an RBI single by Marcell Ozuna in the sixth. Kirby Yates closed for his fourth save. Paul DeJong also homered for St. Louis. The Cardinals have lost their road opener and home opener each of the last two seasons.

IOWA CITY, Iowa – University of Iowa senior Megan Gustafson has been named the U.S. Basketball Writers Association National Player of the Year, the USBWA announced Friday.

Gustafson will be formally presented with the award at the USBWA College Basketball Awards Dinner at the Missouri Athletic Club in St. Louis on Monday, April 15.

Gustafson is the first Hawkeye and first Big Ten women’s basketball student-athlete to win the Ann Meyers Drysdale Award. The USBWA has named a National Player of the Year since the 1987-88 season and the award was named for Meyers Drysdale, four-time All-American at UCLA from 1975-78, in 2012.

Yesterday, Gustafson earned AP National Player of the Year honors, becoming the first Big Ten women’s basketball student-athlete to receive national player of the year recognition of any kind since Purdue’s Stephanie White won the Wade Trophy and the Honda Sports Award in 1999.

This season, Gustafson led the nation in five categories, including points per game (27.9) and field goal percentage (69.6). She ended her career with 2,804 points and 1,460 rebounds. On Monday, Gustafson became just the fourth NCAA women’s basketball student-athlete and the first ever post player to score 1,000 or more points in a single season.

Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Iowa’s Megan Gustafson has won The Associated Press women’s basketball player of the year award. Baylor’s Kim Mulkey is the AP women’s coach of the year. Gustafson led the nation in scoring for the second straight season averaging 27.9 points and tied the NCAA mark for double-doubles in a single season. Mulkey also earned coach of the year honors in 2012. She has led Baylor to a 35-1 record, a No. 1 ranking and a spot in the Final Four.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State sophomore Lindell Wigginton is declaring for the NBA draft for the second year in a row. He withdrew from last year’s draft at the last minute but says this time he intends to stay in. Wigginton’s numbers dipped a bit last season after a foot injury cost him 10 games. But Wigginton still averaged 13.5 points and 4.1 rebounds a game off the bench while shooting 40 percent on 3-pointers.

DETROIT (AP) — Spencer Turnbull struck out 10 in six innings, and the Detroit Tigers drew four straight walks to start the bottom of the seventh, taking the lead for good in their 5-4 victory over the Kansas City Royals. Josh Harrison stole two bases and scored three times for the Tigers in their home opener.
