A woman was killed this week in the U.S.

Virgin Islands after being attacked by a shark.

Officials say the attack occurred close to shore on western St.

Croix.

56-year-old Arlene Lillis of Minnesota was taken to a local hospital but died from her injuries.

Such attacks are quite rare.

It was the second such attack in the past 10 years.

Heisman winner Fernando Mendoza threw five scoring passes as the Big Ten's Indiana Hoosiers overwhelmed Oregon Friday night 56-22.

Miami beat Mississippi on Thursday night.
