She is the happiest, friendliest goalie I have ever played against, which makes it hard,” Neubauer said. “I think her spirit is definitely what gets her. Her skills, obviously, too, but I just think how she goes about the game, lifts her teammates up and everything.”Corniea has been a stalwart for the Hornets all season, serving as a massive reason Edina (16-2) reached its first state tournament as the No. 2 seed. She also played a large role in ensuring the Hornets would play for a state title on Saturday.Corniea stumped the Pon...

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 16:13:09 GMT

PHILADELPHIA — A group of women who accused Bill Cosby of sexual assault and were dismayed when he had his conviction overturned and left prison are trying again to seek justice in the courts, by urging states to give them more time to pursue civil damages.More than a dozen women have sued the actor and comedian since his June 2021 release, including nine who brought cases Wednesday in Nevada, weeks after successfully lobbying to eliminate the statute of limitations for adult survivors in the state.They join advocates who battled the Catholic Church, the Boy Scouts and other institutions in the debate over how long adult victims should have to file suit. That debate has intensified in the years since the #MeToo movement exploded onto the national scene, as some states extend deadlines for lawsuits, eliminate them altogether or enact so-called lookback laws establishing windows of a year or two to sue.Nevada dropped its statute of limitations on May 31. In New York, lawmakers e...
