LOS ANGELES — The man who stalked ESPN reporter Erin Andrews and shot nude videos of her through a hotel room peephole videotaped 16 other women and ran background checks on 30 people, including female sports reporters and TV personalities, according to court documents.

A sentencing memo filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles says Michael Barrett uploaded videos of 16 other women to an online account. Barrett also allegedly conducted 30 Internet background checks that can produce birthdays and home addresses, the document said.

The filing did not name the other alleged victims or say what information he obtained or how he may have used it.

Barrett has pleaded guilty to interstate stalking and agreed to a 27-month prison sentence.

Basketball

The Harlem Globetrotters have found a new way to beat the Washington Generals — on ice. The famed basketball barnstormers played on a hockey rink for the first time in their 84-year history Tuesday, putting on a show in New York's Central Park. Players wore ice cleats over their shoes, headbands outside their hockey helmets, and no one on either team took off his warmups. The Globetrotters were up to their usual antics. Twice, the Globetrotters' Kris "Hi-Lite" Bruton came out of a timeout wearing a goalie mask and carrying a hockey stick. He batted down shots, drawing a whistle. "Hey!" the referee admonished Bruton. "This is basketball!" "I know," Bruton said. "But I can't play defense without it." ... Hall of Fame coaches Pat Riley and Jody Conradt are among seven people chosen for the Hall's Board of Governors.

Tennis

In Paris, Melanie Oudin of the United States beat Sorana Cirstea of Romania 6-3, 6-0 to reach the Open GDF Suez's second round. Oudin, a U.S. Open quarterfinalist last year, next plays Patty Schnyder of Switzerland, who beat seventh-seeded Virginie Razzano of France 6-3, 7-6(3) at Stade Pierre de Coubertin.

Soccer

The U.S. national team will open its domestic schedule next month with a pair of matches against Mexico. The first is scheduled for March 28 at Torero Stadium at the University of San Diego. The two teams meet again March 31 at Rio Tinto Stadium. ... Ronaldinho was omitted from Brazil's 22-man roster for a March 2 exhibition against Ireland in London. The 29-year-old midfielder hasn't played for the national team since a World Cup qualifier in April 2009, but his improved recent performances with AC Milan have prompted calls for his return.

Boxing

Junior lightweight titleholder Robert Guerrero has withdrawn from his scheduled fight against interim titleholder Michael Katsidis to spend more time with his wife, who has been battling cancer. Guerrero was scheduled to fight Katsidis on March 27.
