MADISON, Wis. (AP) ? Wisconsin's Justin Schultz had two goals and two assists to lead the Badgers to a 6-3 win over Rochester Institute of Technology in men's college hockey yesterday. The win by the Badgers (8-9-2) gave head coach Mike Eaves his 200th career win at Wisconsin.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) ? Green Bay Packers vice president Jason Wied resigned yesterday, citing his addiction to an herbal remedy he was using to treat sleep-related health issues. Wied, the Packers' vice president of administration/general counsel, took an indefinite leave of absence from the team in November. In a statement issued Friday by the Packers, Wied says he has been dealing with sleep apnea and insomnia.

NEW YORK (AP) ? Green Bay Packers linebacker Erik Walden has been fined $15,000 by the NFL for roughing the passer, and San Diego Chargers linebacker Antwan Barnes was docked $25,000 for unnecessary physical contact with an official. Walden was penalized by the league yesterday for striking Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford in the head and neck area. He was whistled for a penalty in the third quarter of Green Bay's 45-41 victory last weekend.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) ? The Oakland Raiders have reached an agreement with Green Bay Packers director of football operations Reggie McKenzie to become the Raiders' general manager. The Raiders will hold a news conference on Tuesday to discuss the hiring. McKenzie played linebacker for the Raiders from 1985-88. He joined the Packers as a pro personnel assistant in 1994.
