(STATS) -- Several Northeast Conference teams had reason to smile after season-opening wins, a few more were left looking for answers following losses and one should be more than happy about its performance despite a defeat.Those victories could be harder to come by in Week 2.Bryant, Wagner and Sacred Heart were the conferences opening week winners, but Bryants victory came against Merrimack, a member of the Northeast-10 Conference affiliated with Division II. Any positive outcome for Wagner is big considering it opened 0-9 last season en route to a 1-10 finish, but the Seahawks 38-16 home win came against Saint Anselm, also a member of the Northeast-10.Great to get a win, Wagner coach Jason Houghtaling said. I think we played extremely hard, which was great to see.There was nothing cheap about Sacred Hearts 18-14 road win against Stetson as the Pioneers scored 12 unanswered points and limited the Hatters to 35 total yards in the second half. The Pioneers received outstanding work from tailback Ose Imeokparia and linebacker Kevin Barry. Imeokparia carried 13 times for 112 yards and produced the deciding touchdown on an 80-yard run, while Barry made a triumphant return to the field with a career-high 13 tackles after losing the final eight games last season due to injury.Sacred Heart opposes Valparaiso on Saturday in its home opener for the second of three consecutive contests against Pioneer League teams. Valparaiso has dropped 10 of its last 11 games, including a 56-3 loss to the Pioneers last season.Central Connecticut State was extremely sloppy in its 24-10 loss to Lafayette, turning the ball over on its first four possessions. The Blue Devils, though, did rally from a 10-0 deficit and were tied heading into the fourth quarter only to have the Leopards score 14 unanswered points.No Northeast team has a bigger challenge this week than CCSU, which has to travel to face James Madison -- ranked 12th in the STATS FCS Top 25 -- with the Dukes coming off an 80-7 annihilation of Morehead State last weekend. James Madison set several offensive records in the rout, piling up a school-record (for Division I) 607 yards of total offense, 498 on the ground, with a program-record 10 rushing TDs.The Blue Devils run defense was excellent in the opener, allowing just 22 yards on 34 attempts but the Dukes attack is far more formidable and varied.Also facing difficult assignments this weekend are Robert Morris and Bryant. Robert Morris would seem to be staring at a third consecutive 0-2 start with a visit to Dayton up next. The Flyers, who are 16-2 in the all-time series, won their 2016 opener after going 10-2 last season and will be facing a Colonials team that finished with 149 total yards in a 14-7 loss to Division II Alderson-Broaddus last Saturday.We lost the game because we didnt execute, said Robert Morris coach John Banaszak.Bryant will visit perennial power Montana State for the programs first-ever game against a Big Sky opponent and first-ever trip west of Pittsburgh. This will also be only the second time the Bulldogs have flown to a game.Defending conference champion Duquesne allowed Youngstown State to score on four of its first five possessions and was outgained 610-222 in a 45-10 loss. The Dukes try to regroup Saturday at home against Bucknell seeking their fourth win in the past five meetings.Theres little doubt that the Northeasts most impressive season-opening effort came courtesy of Saint Francis in a 41-31 loss at then-No. 14 Montana. The Red Flash, playing in front of the largest crowd in its FCS program history, held a 17-13 lead in the third quarter before the powerful Grizzlies reeled off the next 21 points.Montana coach Bob Stitt had high praise for Saint Francis.Theyre going to win a lot of games, Stitt said. They gave us everything we wanted. It was a struggle.To the surprise of nobody, Lorenzo Jerome shined again for the Red Flash. The senior defensive back totaled 196 yards on four kick returns, including a 73-yard touchdown, while also adding two interceptions. Jerome was named STATS FCS National Special Teams Player of the Week for his efforts.Saint Francis plays the second of four straight road games to open the season Saturday with a matchup against a Towson team that has won all four previous meetings, including a 35-20 victory last Sept. 12.

The former world No 1 and five-time Grand Slam champion announced in Los Angeles on Monday night that she had tested positive for a drug called meldonium, which was recently added to the banned list.Sky Sports tennis expert Annabel Croft told Sky Sports News HQ: The last 24 hours everybody has been gearing up for Maria retiring, thinking about her career and her utter ruthless determination shes shown towards her sport. Now this has thrown a spanner in the works. Its come as a complete shock. Knowing the character she is, she will fight it all and go about her business in an utterly professional way like she has done in her tennis.There will be discussions and meetings and a lot of waiting time. But in terms of the world of tennis it will be a massive shock. She is such a huge name in the world of tennis. Annabel Croft is blown away by Maria Sharapovas admission Sharapova, who became Wimbledon champion as a 17-year-old in 2004, admitted she does not know the possible sanctions she will face, although the Russian will be provisionally suspended by the International Tennis Federation from March 12.She is the highest-paid female athlete in world sport over the last 11 years, according to Forbes, having earned a large part of her income through sponsor endorsements and her own sweet business, Sugarpova.Asked whether a ban could curtail her career due to how old she would be when she returns, Croft added: When you look at what Serena Williams has achieved - shes 34 and still going strong - depending how long the ban will be, knowing the injuries shes had to face and how shes come back, I dont think it would be.

If its a longer ban then it could be difficult.Her career has been perfect up until now. Shes one of the highest paid athletes and her contracts are worth so much and shes a major global star. Anything like this is not good for a brand but lets wait for more details of the case.Sky Sports tennis expert Barry Cowan was equally stunned and stated it was a valuable lesson for other athletes to learn that you are responsible for what you put in your body. Cowan said: Im shocked. Its an amazing sequence of events. Her attention to detail on and off the court is why Ive held her in such high esteem, but its been her undoing on this occasion and she will pay the consequences for it.I dont think it will tarnish her image or the sports image. Its right she will serve a ban but I think things will move quite quickly because she hasnt denied it.
