Staff and wire reports
USC football Coach Lane Kiffin, who had three openings on his coaching staff, now has only one.
Scottie Hazelton, defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at North Dakota State, will replace Joe Barry as linebackers coach, and Marvin Sanders, Florida Atlantic's defensive coordinator, will coach defensive backs.
Barry left the Trojans two weeks ago to become linebackers coach for the San Diego Chargers. USC has been without a full-time defensive backs coach since Willie Mack Garza resigned on the eve of the 2011 season.
Graduate assistant Sammy Knight coached defensive backs last season.
Kiffin must still hire a receivers coach to replace Ted Gilmore, who left to join the Oakland Raiders' staff.
Kiffin, who briefly attended USC's basketball game against Stanford at the Galen Center on Sunday, declined to comment.

Korda wins Women's Australian Open

The 18-year-old Korda completed a two-sport, father-daughter Australian double with the breakthrough victory in the LPGA tour opener.
Petr Korda won the 1998 Australian Open tennis tournament, also in Melbourne.
Korda closed with a one-over-par 74 and finished at three-under 289 in the first women's professional event at Royal Melbourne.
