Connacht claimed their first ever Guinness PRO12 title after a 20-10 victory over Leinster in the Murrayfield final. The determination of Pat Lams men to attack paid off with first-half scores from Tiernan OHalloran and Niyi Adeolokun and they wrapped up victory when Matt Healy crossed after the break.Leinster were looking to claim their fifth crown but they could only muster a Jonny Sexton penalty and a late Sean Cronin try as they failed to rise to the occasion in front of a record final crowd of almost 35,000. Connacht booked their place in the play-offs by topping the league table but before kick-off few gave Irelands least successful province much hope against the Dublin powerhouse.While the Edinburgh face-off was Leinsters ninth appearance in the final, their Galway rivals were making their first appearance in the competitions showpiece climax. Connachts Tiernan OHalloran beats Rob Kearney of Leinster to score a try However, the only nerves on show came from the pre-match favourites, who fumbled their way through the first 40 minutes.Connachts underdogs by contrast were ice cool as they took just 13 minutes to carve out the opener.Centre Bundee Akis break did enough to disrupt the Blues defence before OHalloran turned Rob Kearney inside out as he sprinted home. AJ MacGinty nailed the conversion.With Ireland lock Devin Toner absent for Leinster following the unexpended death of his father on Friday, the last thing Blues coach Leo Cullen needed to see was Mick Kearney being forced off with concussion. Connachts Niyi Adeolokun beats Eoin Reddan of Leinster to score But Connacht were in no mood to show compassion and struck again after 22 minutes.Leinster could not cope with the speed with which the Galway men put the ball through their hands and were unzipped when Adeolokun found himself up against the flatfooted Luke Fitzgerald out wide. The Nigerian winger was by no means clean through but his chip-and-chase was perfectly executed as he darted home for the score.MacGinty pulled his attempt at the extras wide but made amends with a penalty soon after.The half-time break offered Leinster a chance to finally catch their breath and Sextons penalty three minutes into the second period was a welcome sight. Connachts Tiernan OHalloran beats Rob Kearney of Leinster to score a try However, the green waves continued to crash forward. Hooker Tom McCartney almost danced home for the unlikeliest of tries, only to be held up after Sextons last-gasp tackle.But that only delayed the inevitable, with Connachts third touchdown coming after 57 minutes when MacGinty saw the space in behind the ragged Leinster defence and measured his grubber kick with precision for Healy to run onto and dot down.MacGintys goal-kicking, though, was not quite as accurate as he smashed the conversion against the upright. Connachts John Muldoon with Leinsters Dave Kearney and Jamie Heaslip Leinster substitute wing Zane Kirchner thought he had given his side hope when he dived over in the corner but had his celebrations cut short by referee Nigel Owens after spotting Ben Teos forward pass in the build-up.The Dubliners finally grabbed a try when Cronin ran in with 12 minutes left but even then it came in controversial style as Owens refused to stop play despite seeing OHalloran knocked clean out following a brutal collision with Kirchner.Legs were tiring in the Connacht camp but the composure which served them so well in the early stages never wavered as they held out for their maiden PRO12 triumph.

LOS ANGELES -- UCLA guard Jordin Canada was focused on grabbing the rebound she needed for her first triple-double.So when teammate Monique Billings flung away the rebounded ball they both held, Canada glared at her. Players and coaches on the UCLA bench all knew what was at stake and collectively groaned in disbelief.Everyone finished with smiles because Canada notched her 10th rebound with 48 seconds left.Canada had 11 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists to lead No. 9 UCLA to a 95-47 win over Southern University on Friday night.Its the sixth triple-double in school history, and Canada also crossed the 1,000-point mark, a milestone she didnt know about until after the game.Its also an honor. Its a great feeling to know that Ive put in the work, Canada said. Im very proud of myself, but its not all about points. Yes, its a great honor, but its not everything.Kennedy Burke led the Bruins with 23 points, including a career-high five 3-pointers. UCLA finished with a school-record 14 3-pointers, breaking the 12 set against Hawaii in 2009.Billings had a double-double with 22 points and 15 rebounds, her fifth consecutive since last season. She also set a career high with six steals.But she drew the ire of her point guard.We have goals that we have to meet. Mo was one rebound away from getting 15 rebounds, which was her goal, Canada said. I was one rebound away from getting a triple-double. At the time, I thought she already met her goal. When the ball went up we both had it, and I was screaming because I wanted it. She took it away. I was mad.I didnt realize she hadnt met her goal until afterward, so I felt bad. Were just really passionate about getting our goals.UCLA had just nine players available for the game. Four players arre injured and have yet to play this season.ddddddddddddCanada prides herself on passing, defending and, when a milestone is on the line, rebounding.Ive never seen Jordan so mad at me running down the court, said Billings, with a laugh. She got her rebound, too. So its all good.Skylar OBear scored 14 points and Briana Green added 12 for Southern (1-2).BIG PICTURE:Southern got the experience of playing one of the best teams in the country on the road and will have plenty of learning opportunities in a postgame film session.UCLA has its sights set on a national championship. With an 84-70 loss to No. 2 Baylor on the road four days ago, it showed theres work to be done. UCLA dominated Southern at home, where it plays so well, but hasnt won a road game against a ranked opponent in its last 13 consecutive games. After the loss to Baylor, UCLA likely will fall out of the top 10.QUOTABLE:I think were still not playing anywhere close to what were going to become. Thats a good news-bad news. Its bad news because we missed an opportunity at Baylor. The good news is that theres no danger this group is going to peak early. We have so many things we still need to work on. On the other hand, were shooting the ball great. Were a selfless team. -- UCLA coach Cori Close on ways to improve after a 48-point win.UP NEXT:Southern University returns home to play Bethune-Cookman on Thursday. Its a one-game stint in New Orleans, with the Jaguars playing six of their first eight games on the road.UCLA hosts Cal Poly on Sunday before traveling to Mexico to play Iowa in the Cancun Challenge, which starts on Thanksgiving.
