By USSA

ST. MORITZ, Switzerland — Slovenia’s Tina Maze mastered incredibly flat light to stretch her Audi FIS Alpine World Cup overall lead to 187 points over reigning champion Lindsey Vonn (Vail) with a super combined victory Friday in St. Moritz, her third win of the season.

Vonn, who stood fourth after the opening leg of super G, skied out in the slalom portion and dropped to fourth in the overall standings.

Julia Mancuso of Squaw Valley posted the top U.S. finish with 11th and Laurenne Ross of Bend, Ore., was 25th.

Stacey Cook (Mammoth Mountain) went out in the slalom.

The race was one of only two scheduled World Cup super combined events this season and will not award a discipline title, however it will be a medal event at the World Championships.
