MICHIGAN GETS NOTICE OF ALLEGATIONS REGARDING SIGN-STEALING INVESTIGATION
Michigan has received the final version of a notice of allegations from the NCAA related to an investigation into an in-person scouting and sign-stealing operation being run by a football staffer, the NCAA and the school said Sunday.
Michigan previously received a draft of the NOA that included allegations of violations by former head coach Jim Harbaugh, current head coach Sherrone Moore, former recruiting analyst Connor Stalions and several other members of the staff.
“The NCAA can confirm that a Notice of Allegations has been distributed to the school and involved parties in the Michigan investigation,” the NCAA said in a statement. “To protect the integrity of the infractions process as the case progresses forward, the NCAA will not provide any further comment on the specifics included.”
According to NCAA rules, Michigan will have 90 days to respond. The school could then be assigned a hearing in front of the NCAA’s committee on infractions, though a negotiated resolution is still possible.
The NCAA investigation into impermissible in-person scouting and sign stealing by Michigan hung over the second half of the team’s unbeaten season in 2023 but did not stop the Wolverines from winning their first national title since 1997.
In-person advanced scouting is banned by the NCAA, which investigated to determine how organized it was and who knew about it. Records from other Big Ten schools show Stalions bought tickets to numerous games involving future opponents, sending people to digitally record teams when they signaled plays.
Stalions initially was placed on leave by the school and later resigned. He did not participate in the investigation. Stalions is expected to break his silence Tuesday on Netflix when the documentary “Sign Stealer” makes its debut on the streaming service.
Harbaugh, now coach of the Los Angeles Chargers, has denied any knowledge of impermissible scouting while he was with the program, though he could face Level 1 violations along with Stalions.
The Big Ten suspended Harbaugh for the final three games of the 2023 regular season to punish Michigan for violating the conference’s sportsmanship policy after its investigation of the sign-stealing scheme.
The NCAA recently released the results of a recruiting violations investigation into Michigan under Harbaugh. The coach was given a show-cause order that effectively bans him from coaching in college for four years.
No. 9 Michigan begins its first season under Moore on Aug. 31 at home against Fresno State.

2024 NFL PRESEASON, WEEK 3: WHAT WE LEARNED FROM SUNDAY’S TRIPLEHEADER
TENNESSEE TITANS 30, NEW ORLEANS SAINTS 27
Levis and Co. showcase Brian Callahan’s offense. After sitting last week’s exhibition, Will Levis and the Titans’ first-team offense were rolling against the Saints’ second-team defense. Levis came out firing, completing passes for 8, 22, 22 and 13 yards to begin the game and led Tennessee to an opening-drive touchdown after nine plays and 82 yards. The second-year QB went right back to work on the next possession, finding Calvin Ridley on the first play for 33 yards and driving the Titans toward the red zone once again (field goal) before his day was done. It was an exciting showing from Levis (7-of-8 passing for 118 yards), albeit against Saints backups, but it should provide confidence going into the season opener for the 25-year-old. That said, the Titans offense as a whole continued to hum with backup Mason Rudolph (11-of-15 passing, 114 yards) under center. So much so that punter Ryan Stonehouse’s long-awaited return to the field didn’t come until the third quarter. He boomed a 53-yarder in his first game back since suffering a season-ending knee injury last December, signifying his return to health. By all accounts, the Titans are grasping rookie head coach Brian Callahan’s offensive system, but the real games begin two weeks from today.
Rattler states his case; Nacua nearly scores wild TD. The Saints’ backup quarterback battle might have been decided by Spencer Rattler’s performance in the preseason finale. The rookie fifth-rounder jump-started the Saints offense upon entering the game in the second quarter, punctuating his first drive with a perfectly lofted ball to Equanimeous St. Brown for a 21-yard touchdown, which came on a third-and-12. Remarkably, that was the first and only TD pass thrown by a Saints QB all preseason, and Rattler proceeded to make a good case for himself as he and Jake Haener, who started the game, were interchangeably put in the game every two series. While Saints wideouts didn’t help either’s cause with multiple drops throughout, Rattler-led drives resulted in points on all four occasions (three TDs, field goal) and his final throw on the day — a 43-yarder to A.T. Perry, which was stopped at the 1-yard line — might have sealed the deal. Elsewhere, wide receiver Samson Nacua nearly scored on what would’ve been one of the wildest TDs in recent preseason memory after returning a short FG for 106 yards to end the first half. The undrafted rookie was tackled three yards short thanks to the hustle of Titans tight end Thomas Odukoya, but Nacua might have earned himself a spot on the roster with one wild play.
DENVER BRONCOS 38, ARIZONA CARDINALS 12
Zach Wilson puts his best preseason performance together. It wasn’t the best start for Wilson, but the 2021 No. 2 overall pick eventually had some of his better moments from the past few weeks. Wilson, who played three quarters after relieving Jarrett Stidham, statistically outperformed his previous two preseason outings. The quarterback launched his best throw of the afternoon in the fourth quarter when, with no pressure around him, he delivered an absolute dime to Brandon Johnson for a 46-yard touchdown. Wilson completed 16 of 25 passes for 251 yards and two touchdowns, plus two carries for 22 yards and another score. Head coach Sean Payton will have to decide if his squad will roster three QBs to begin the season, and it appears Wilson might have made Denver’s decision a bit harder heading into Tuesday’s 53-man roster deadline.
Cardinals show depth on defense in the preseason finale. Against the backdrop of 2024 first-round defensive lineman Darius Robinson dealing with a calf injury and possibly going on injured reserve to start the season, Sunday’s game was highlighted by the Cardinals defense smothering Denver’s quarterbacks early on. Defensive tackle Phil Hoskins set the tone for Arizona’s D, but the linebackers were the brightest spots at Mile High. Jesse Luketa logged two tackles, two QB hits, one sack and a forced fumble during his stint on the field. Meanwhile, fellow LB Cameron Thomas recorded three tackles, two QB hits, one tackle for loss and one sack. Robinson’s availability being in question in the coming weeks put a damper on this weekend, but Arizona can still be happy with the depth and flashes it saw from its young defensive core.
WASHINGTON COMMANDERS 20, NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS 10
Trace McSorley provides spark to Washington’s offense. With Jayden Daniels and Marcus Mariota sitting, Jeff Driskel initially took the reins and struggled against New England’s defensive starters. Washington punted the ball four times in the first half, and its only other possession during that span ended with a Driskel interception. In the second half, McSorley entered and keyed the Commanders to four scoring opportunities (two field goals and two touchdowns) in five drives. The veteran journeyman QB not only showcased his accuracy on a number of plays, but extended several others with his legs. McSorley’s best moment came in the fourth quarter, when he lowered his shoulder on defensive back Azizi Hearn and knocked him over near Washington’s sideline with a staredown that had Commanders players going crazy. McSorley finished the game 12 of 21 for 125 yards and one touchdown, and also added four carries for 40 rushing yards. A big question mark to make the 53-man roster, McSorley gave everything he had in the final preseason game of 2024.
Patriots’ QB1 competition gets interesting. New England’s preseason finale featured Jacoby Brissett and Drake Maye taking snaps at Commanders Field on Sunday night. Brissett kicked off the first drive for New England by completing a few dink-and-dunk passes. However, things took a turn after a sack by KJ Henry, after which Brissett was seen grimacing and grabbing his right shoulder. He did take two more snaps to finish 2 of 4 for 19 yards before an eventual punt, but his night ended after that opening drive. Fortunately, head coach Jerod Mayo noted postgame that Brissett could have stayed in had it been a regular-season contest. Maye took over and had some rookie moments on the next Patriots possession when he bobbled two snaps from his center, but the No. 3 overall pick quickly recovered and responded like a seasoned vet by completing the 11-play drive with an 18-yard TD pass to Kevin Harris. Maye finished 13 of 20 for 126 yards, the one score and a 99.2 rating. Mayo has a tough quarterback decision to make before New England is on to Cincinnati for its Week 1 game.
BENGALS WR JA’MARR CHASE RETURNS TO PRACTICE AMID CONTRACT DISPUTE
With the 2024 regular-season opener two weeks away, Joe Burrow got some meaningful practice time with his No. 1 wideout for the first time this summer.
Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase, who’s been the subject of a hold-in as he seeks a new contract, participated in team practice for the first time during training camp on Sunday, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported, per sources.
Pelissero added that there is no new contract yet for Chase, who is in the fourth year of his rookie deal.
The Bengals all but announced Chase’s return to practice with a photo posted on social media.
BASEBALL NEWS
MLB ROUNDUP: AARON JUDGE BELTS 2 MORE HRS IN YANKEES’ ROUT
Aaron Judge hit his 50th and 51st homers of the season to lead the New York Yankees to a 10-3 victory over the visiting Colorado Rockies on Sunday afternoon.
Judge joined Hall of Famer Babe Ruth along with Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa and Alex Rodriguez as the fifth player to reach 50 homers at least three times.
Judge’s 50th homer came two batters after Gleyber Torres opened the bottom of the first inning with a walk. Judge lifted an 0-2 changeup from Colorado starter Austin Gomber (4-9) and sent it into the visiting bullpen beyond the left-center-field fence to give the Yankees a 2-1 lead.
He then hit his 51st long ball in the seventh, sending a first-pitch fastball from reliever Jeff Criswell into the right field seats.
Gomber allowed four runs on six hits in six innings. Drew Romo had an RBI single in the fourth and Ryan McMahon produced a run-scoring double in the fifth for the Rockies.
Nationals 5, Braves 1
Jacob Young had two hits, including an RBI double to highlight a three-run seventh inning, helping visiting Washington beat Atlanta to salvage the finale of a three-game series.
Nationals starter DJ Herz allowed only one hit — a second-inning single by Orlando Arcia — in five scoreless innings. Jacob Barnes (8-2) earned the win.
Atlanta, which was limited to three hits, tied the game at 1-1 in the sixth when Matt Olson hit a 429-foot homer to center field, his 22nd long ball of 2024.
Pirates 4, Reds 3
Yasmani Grandal hit a walk-off two-run home run to lift Pittsburgh to a win against visiting Cincinnati in the finale of a four-game series.
Grandal knocked a fastball into the seats in right-center field against Reds closer Alexis Diaz (1-4) to give Pittsburgh its third victory of the series. Aroldis Chapman (5-4) threw a scoreless top of the ninth to earn the win.
Cincinnati struggled to capitalize on having a handful of baserunners through the first six innings against Pirates starter Luis L. Ortiz, who held the Reds scoreless on four hits. The visitors scored all three of their runs in the seventh.
Phillies 11, Royals 3
Garrett Stubbs went 4-for-4 with three runs and an RBI to help visiting Philadelphia pound Kansas City in the rubber match of their three-game series.
Kyle Schwarber and Alec Bohm each had two hits and three RBIs, Brandon Marsh had two hits and scored twice and Nick Castellanos hit a two-run homer for the Phillies, who went 3-3 on a six-game road trip.
Bobby Witt Jr., Maikel Garcia and MJ Melendez homered for the Royals, who went 0-for-11 with runners in scoring position. Kansas City starter Seth Lugo (14-8) allowed six runs (five earned) and a season-high 11 hits in 5 1/3 innings.
Astros 6, Orioles 3
Alex Bregman and Yainer Diaz hit back-to-back home runs in the seventh inning to lift Houston to a win over host Baltimore, allowing it to salvage a split of a four-game series.
Four Houston pitchers held the Orioles to two total hits, but it took some late offense to pull out the victory after the Orioles rallied from a multi-run deficit for the third day in a row.
Ramon Urias’ three-run blast in the fifth knotted the score at 3-3 for the Orioles. Hector Neris (9-4) was the winning pitcher with 1 1/3 innings of relief. Josh Hader notched his 28th save of 2024 despite issuing a leadoff walk in the ninth.
Tigers 9, White Sox 4
Detroit took the lead with three runs in the fifth inning and kept adding on in a victory over host Chicago.
The White Sox scored two runs in the first inning but could not avert their second consecutive 100-loss season. Jonathan Cannon (2-8) mostly escaped early difficulties, but his luck ran out in the fifth inning. In four-plus innings, the right-hander yielded five runs on eight hits and four walks.
Andy Ibanez homered and drove in three runs for Detroit, which has won 10 of its last 13 games. Colt Keith added to his big series with three hits, a walk and three RBIs, and Jace Jung, Kerry Carpenter and Trey Sweeney added two hits apiece for the Tigers, who outhit the White Sox 14-9. Rookie left-hander Bryan Sammons (1-1) picked up his first major league win in his sixth game.
Cardinals 3, Twins 2
Lars Nootbaar ripped a go-ahead, two-run single during the top of the ninth inning, and St. Louis held on for a win over Minnesota in Minneapolis.
Victor Scott II added a solo homer for St. Louis, which won the rubber match of the three-game series. Scott’s blast marked the only extra-base hit for the Cardinals. Right-hander Shawn Armstrong (3-2) earned the victory out of the bullpen with two-thirds of an inning. He was one of four relievers to follow starter Erick Fedde, who allowed one run on two hits in six innings. Fedde struck out seven.
Willi Castro hit a solo homer to lead the Twins. Royce Lewis added an RBI double. Twins right-hander Jhoan Duran (6-7) blew the save in the ninth. He gave up a pair of unearned runs on three hits in one inning.
Padres 3, Mets 2
Jackson Merrill cracked a solo homer in the bottom of the ninth inning, lifting San Diego to a comeback win over visiting New York and a split of the teams’ four-game series.
Merrill got a 2-0 count against reliever Edwin Diaz (5-2) and lined a hanging slider an estimated 379 feet into the right field seats for his 19th homer. Robert Suarez (8-1) pitched a clean ninth for the win as the Padres ended their seven-game homestand at 4-3 and stayed 1 1/2 games behind Arizona for the National League’s first wild-card spot.
The Mets were in position to win the series, leading 2-0 in the bottom of the eighth. But Jose Butto walked rookie Mason McCoy with one out and then fed Jurickson Profar ripped a homer to right field, tying the score with his career-high 21st homer. That swing no-decisioned Jose Quintana, who allowed just four hits and two walks, striking out none in 6 1/3 innings.
Diamondbacks 7, Red Sox 5
Eugenio Suarez hit a three-run home run to help visiting Arizona complete a three-game sweep of Boston.
The Diamondbacks trailed 4-3 until Suarez hit his 20th home run of the season in the sixth inning. Suarez, who had four hits Sunday, collected eight hits and 10 RBIs in the series. The Diamondbacks also received a solo home run from Geraldo Perdomo (No. 3 of the year) in the ninth. The victory stretched Arizona’s winning streak to six games.
Boston starter Tanner Houck (8-9) allowed six runs on seven hits in six innings.
Blue Jays 8, Angels 2
Kevin Gausman struck out a season-high-tying 10 over seven innings and Toronto defeated visiting Los Angeles.
It was the fourth 10-strikeout game of the season for Gausman (12-9). He allowed one run, two hits and no walks and retired his final 12 batters. Addison Barger and Alejandro Kirk hit two-run home runs for the Blue Jays, who swept the seven-game season series against the staggering Angels. Toronto has homered in 14 straight games.
Brandon Drury hit a solo homer for the Angels. Los Angeles left-hander Tyler Anderson (10-12) allowed two runs, four hits and four walks with three strikeouts in five innings.
Guardians 4, Rangers 2
Matthew Boyd allowed one run over six strong innings and Jhonkensy Noel and David Fry homered as Cleveland beat visiting Texas.
In his third start since debuting with Cleveland after elbow surgery, Boyd (1-0) yielded just a fifth-inning run, three hits and a walk while striking out four. Emmanuel Clase struck out the side in the ninth for his 38th save as the American League Central-leading Guardians won the final two of the three-game set.
Texas’ Cody Bradford (4-2) allowed two early runs (one earned), then settled down, giving up three total hits and two walks over six innings.
Marlins 7, Cubs 2
Connor Norby and Jesus Sanchez each homered as host Miami snapped a five-game losing streak with a win over Chicago.
Norby went 3-for-4 with three runs scored, and Sanchez had a game-high two RBIs. Adam Oller (1-1) allowed one run on four hits and two walks with six strikeouts to earn his first win as a Marlin. Three Miami relievers combined to hold Chicago to just one run on two hits over 3 1/3 innings.
Chicago had its three-game win streak snapped as Javier Assad (6-4) took the loss. The right-hander allowed three runs on six hits and a walk with three strikeouts over seven innings.
Athletics 4, Brewers 3
Daz Cameron and Zack Gelof capped a four-run fourth inning with consecutive sacrifice flies, Mason Miller retired all four batters he faced for his 21st save and Oakland snapped visiting Milwaukee’s interleague winning streak at 12.
Oakland did all of its scoring in the fourth against former A’s pitcher Frankie Montas (6-9), who had taken a 2-0 lead into the inning. Consecutive singles by Lawrence Butler, Brent Rooker and JJ Bleday loaded the bases with no outs. Montas then walked Shea Langeliers and served up an RBI single to Seth Brown, tying the score, before the run-scoring flyballs by Cameron and Gelof.
Making his first Oakland start after having spent six seasons (2017-22) with the A’s, Montas worked six innings, allowing four runs and five hits.
Dodgers 3, Rays 1
Mookie Betts hit a go-ahead two-run home run in the eighth inning and host Los Angeles pulled out a victory over Tampa Bay to win for the sixth time in its last seven games.
Gavin Stone went seven strong innings and Enrique Hernandez also hit a home run as the Dodgers maintained their three-game lead on the hard-charging Arizona Diamondbacks in the National League West.
Jonny DeLuca hit a home run for the Rays, while left-hander Jacob Lopez gave up one run on two hits over five innings with two walks and six strikeouts.
Mariners 4, Giants 3
Bryan Woo pitched seven strong innings as Seattle defeated visiting San Francisco to take two of three games in the interleague series.
Woo (6-2), who grew up as a Giants fan in the Bay Area, allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits. The right-hander didn’t walk a batter and struck out seven. Andres Munoz worked the ninth for his 19th save of the season, striking out Mark Canha with runners on the corners to end the game.
Heliot Ramos and Grant McCray homered for the Giants.

LITTLE LEAGUE WORLD SERIES
FLORIDA BEATS TAIWAN IN EXTRAS TO WIN LLWS TITLE
Lathan Norton scored the winning run from second base on a throwing error, and Lake Mary, Florida, defeated Taiwan 2-1 in eight innings for the Little League World Series title Sunday in Williamsport, Pa.
Florida was down to its final out in the bottom of the sixth but avoided a shutout loss. DeMarcos Mieses found the gap in left field and drove in Chase Anderson for the tying run to force extra innings.
Norton was Florida’s automatic runner in the eighth inning, starting on second base. Hunter Alexander laid down a bunt, and the throw to uncovered first base sailed into right field, letting Norton sprint home.
Florida, which won the Southeast regional championship to advance to the main U.S. bracket, won the state’s first Little League World Series in nine appearances. Lake Mary lost its initial meeting with Boerne, Texas, and dropped into the elimination bracket but rallied for a stunning 10-7 win in a rematch with Texas in the U.S. championship game.
Taiwan, which sailed through the International bracket undefeated, scored Chiu Wei-Che in the first inning after two walks, a bunt and a hit that bounded off Florida’s third baseman.
Venezuela 4, Texas 3
Samuel Carrasquel drew a bases-loaded walk from a full count to push across the eventual game-winning run, earning Venezuela third place over Texas in the LLWS consolation game.
Venezuela fell into a 3-0 hole after one inning but scored two runs in each of the next two frames. Diego Biarreta (double) and Simon Vicheria (fielder’s choice) drove in runs in the second inning, and in the third, Beiker Zarraga reached on a bunt and a throwing error to tie the game 3-3 before Carrasquel’s walk.
Willian’s Mora pitched 5 1/3 innings for Venezuela, scattering four hits, striking out eight and walking none. Mora yielded three unearned runs to Texas due to two errors.
Mora overthrew third base on Doc Mogford’s grounder with runners on, allowing two to score. Mogford came home on a passed ball.
Texas had just four hits, the only extra-base hit a double by Jett Matthews. Starter Caden Guffey threw 3 2/3 innings and gave up four runs (one earned) with six hits, four walks and two strikeouts.

KEEGAN BRADLEY CAPTURES BMW, LEAPS TO FOURTH IN FEDEX CUP RACE
CASTLE ROCK, Colo. — Keegan Bradley rode patriotic cheers to victory at the BMW Championship as he shot even-par 72 in the final round Sunday for a 12-under-par 276 at Castle Pines Golf Club.
It capped a dramatic resurgence for Bradley, who was named the 2025 U.S. Ryder Cup captain last month and was the last man in the field this week.
Yet, his seventh PGA Tour win means Bradley will enter the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta next week in fourth place at 6 under based on the staggered start used at the season’s final tournament.
Bradley, who was not selected as a captain’s pick on the 2023 Ryder Cup team, heard cheers from the gallery of “Let’s go captain” and “U-S-A” everywhere he went. Bradley took a lead he would not relinquish with a par on the 537-yard, par-4 10th hole that broke a tie with Australian Adam Scott (72), who had a three-putt bogey on the hardest hole on the course.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler (72) tied for 33rd at the BMW, but he enters East Lake as the top seed and will start at 10 under par. Xander Schauffele (71, tied for fifth) will be second at 8 under par and Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama, who withdrew with a back injury from the BMW, will be third at 7 under.
Sam Burns shot a final-round-best 7-under-par 65 to finish tied for second with Scott and Sweden’s Ludvig Aberg (71) at 11-under 277. It’s the fourth career runner-up finish for Burns, who had eight birdies in his round and narrowly missed a bunker shot on the par-4 18th hole that would have tied the lead.
Burns’ lone bogey on the par-5 14th slowed his rally, but he bounced back with consecutive birdies on Nos. 16 and 17 to enter the Tour Championship ninth in FedEx Cup points.
Australian Cam Davis (66) led the field with 24 birdies on the week and tied for fifth at 8-under 280 with Tommy Fleetwood of England (69) — who played his way into the Tour Championship as he moved from 31st to 22nd in the FedEx Cup standings — plus Schauffele and South Korea’s Si Woo Kim (70).
Chris Kirk (69) played his way into East Lake as he rose from 32nd to 26th after a tie for ninth with Sweden’s Alex Noren (75).

STEWART CINK WINS ALLY TO CLINCH FIRST PGA TOUR CHAMPIONS TITLE
Stewart Cink shot a 6-under-par 66 and ran away with the Ally Challenge for his first win on the PGA Tour Champions on Sunday in Grand Blanc, Mich.
The highlights of Cink’s bogey-free round included a lengthy downhill birdie putt at No. 5 and three short birdie putts on the back nine (Nos. 11, 13 and 16) at Warwick Hills Golf & Country Club. Cink played the final 36 holes of the tournament without a bogey.
After starting the day with a three-shot lead, Cink finished the tournament 17-under 199, four strokes ahead of South Korea’s K.J. Choi (final-round 67).
Cink, 51, made his PGA Tour Champions debut in May 2023 after he turned 50. He captured his first title in his 10th start on the 50-and-older circuit.
“It’s nice to be one of the younger players for a change and be able to use some power,” Cink told the Golf Channel broadcast, “and (I) still can hit it pretty far, and the golf course was giving up some rolls.”
In March, Cink led the Cologuard Classic in Tucson, Arizona, after each of the first two rounds but fell to a T7 finish after a final-round 73.
“I’m not gonna lie: I definitely had the memories from Tucson earlier this year. I think any human being would,” Cink said. “But I was really proud of myself, the way I stayed in the present. I stuck to my game plan. This course — it can be had, but you need to be in play and that’s a key on this golf course and I did a really great job on that.”
Cink has won on the PGA Tour as recently as April 2021, but he said he will focus more on the Champions Tour moving forward.
“I love playing on the PGA Tour. It’s been an awesome career and I won’t completely stop, but I feel at home and comfortable playing PGA Tour Champions golf mostly going forward, I believe,” Cink said.
Canadian Mike Weir shot the round of the day — an 8-under-par 64 with an opening eagle and six birdies — to rocket into third place at 12 under.
“I made a nice putt on 17 from about 25 feet. Outside of that, there were a couple 12-footers and a bunch of tap-ins,” Weir said. “Had a lot of chances, a lot, a lot of chances. Fun to have a round like that. They don’t come around very often like that.”
Northern Ireland’s Darren Clarke (67) placed fourth at 10 under. David Duval and Germany’s Bernhard Langer each fired rounds of 65 and finished in a five-way tie for fifth at 9 under with Bob Estes (70), David Branshaw (71) and Australian Steve Allan (71).

LYDIA KO MAKES PRESSURE PUTT AT 18 TO WIN WOMENS OPEN
Lydia Ko birdied the final hole to finish with a 3-under-par 69 and win the AIG Women’s Open at the Old Course at St Andrews on Sunday.
Ko, who won the gold medal at the Paris Olympics earlier this month, finished with a 7-under 281 at the historic course in Fife, Scotland.
It was her first win in a major since the 2016 ANA Inspiration. On the back nine, the New Zealander fought off rain, wind and a who’s who of women’s stars to capture her third major and 21st career LPGA victory.
Ko entered the final day three shots back of third-round leader Jiyai Shin, a two-time Women’s Open champion. And the South Korean was in position for a potential win until a trio of bogeys on the back nine led to a 74 and a 5-under finish.
Shin was one of four women tied for second, with China’s Ruoning Yin, Nelly Korda and Lilia Vu — each of them former major winners who have been ranked No. 1 in the world.
As the holes dwindled, the only player with a chance to tie Ko was Vu, who stood 6 under as she hit her tee shot on No. 18. Her drive left her 32 yards to the pin, but her chip shot was off target, giving her a 15-foot putt for a birdie.
Her effort was about a foot short, giving Ko the win. Vu missed the short putt, leading her to a bogey, a round of 73 and a spot in the second-place tie.
Current No. 1 Korda has won six tournaments this season, including the Chevron Championship (the major formerly called the ANA Inspiration).
After a disappointing 75 on Saturday following a pair of 68s, Korda found her stroke, firing 3 under through the first 10 holes to take the lead at 8 under. But a double bogey at the par-5 14th led to a four-way tie at 6 under with Ko, Shin and Lilia Vu, and Korda never recovered.
After a bogey at No. 17, Korda finished at 72 for the day and 5 under for the tournament.
“Overall, I think I putted really well this week. I hit the ball really well with the conditions,” Korda said. “It will be interesting to see when I don’t play in 30-, 40-mile-an-hour winds what my ball flight is going to be like, finally seeing it go straight.”
Korda also stumbled on the back nine in Saturday’s third round, with three bogeys and a double bogey.
“Listen, it’s golf. I’m going to mess up and unfortunately I messed up over the weekend twice in two penalizing ways coming down the stretch,” she said. “Theoretically that’s what kind of cost me the tournament, but I played well. I played solid. I even fought after that. I’m going to take that into the next coming events.”

PRESIDENTS CUP QUALIFIERS LOCKED IN FOR U.S., INTERNATIONAL TEAMS
Half of the U.S. Team and half of the International Team for the 2024 Presidents Cup are now secured while some Americans are making a late push for their captain’s consideration.
Six players for both the U.S. and International teams qualified for the biannual team event Sunday following the conclusion of the BMW Championship.
To no one’s surprise, World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler led the U.S. Team qualifying standings by more than 4,000 points over Xander Schauffele. Collin Morikawa, Wyndham Clark, Patrick Cantlay and Sahith Theegala rounded out the top six. It will be the first Presidents Cup appearances for Clark and Theegala.
The International Team will be led by Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama, a veteran of five previous Presidents Cups. Joining him among the qualifiers were Tom Kim of South Korea, Sungjae Im of South Korea, Jason Day of Australia, Adam Scott of Australia and Byeong Hun An of South Korea in the Nos. 2-6 positions.
U.S. captain Jim Furyk and International captain Mike Weir of Canada will announce their captains’ picks on Sept. 3. The event will be played Sept. 26-29 at Royal Montreal Golf Club.
Furyk will have plenty to consider when making his six selections. Sam Burns tied for second at the BMW Championship and rose four spots to seventh place in the qualifying standings. It wasn’t enough to unseat Theegala, but Burns made one of his final auditions for the team count.
Then there’s Keegan Bradley, who last month was named the captain of the 2025 U.S. Ryder Cup team. At just 38 years old, he was an unexpected choice, as the job usually goes to an older player who will not play in the competition. On Sunday, Bradley showed he can still hang with the best of them, as he won the BMW Championship by a single stroke to cap off a stellar week of golf.
Bradley flew up eight spots to 10th in the U.S. points standings and now may garner a look by Furyk. Other options on the American side include Tony Finau, Russell Henley, Brian Harman, Max Homa, Chris Kirk and Justin Thomas.
For the International team, Weir can choose any non-European players, and he’s highly likely to select one or more Canadian players as his country plays host to the event. Corey Conners, Nick Taylor, Adam Hadwin, Taylor Pendrith and Mackenzie Hughes are Canadians all likely to be under consideration for a captain’s pick. Australians Min Woo Lee and Cam Davis, South Africa’s Christiaan Bezuidenhout and South Korea’s Si Woo Kim are also options.

WILL POWER IS THICK IN THE INDYCAR CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHT AND NOT EVEN CONSIDERING RETIREMENT
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Will Power, soaked in victory champagne and still buzzing from a win that kept him in the IndyCar championship fight, leaned in to do a microphone check in a most unusual way.
The 43-year-old Australian sang a verse of “Dead or Alive” by Bon Jovi to test the sound level on his news conference microphone in a fitting post-win tribute. His Sunday victory at Portland International Raceway cut into points leader Alex Palou’s margin and made the title fight a two-driver competition with three races remaining.
“If he had finished ahead of us, it would be over,” Power said of beating Palou. “This just kept it alive.”
When he won his second IndyCar title in 2022, Power was rewarded in early 2023 by Team Penske with a two-year contract extension. That deal runs through next season, but with Power still at the top of his game, he used Portland to emphasize he’s not planning to leave IndyCar anytime soon.
“I want to continue. I’m not retiring. I’m not. I’m just simply not retiring,” he said. “I know people probably like to spread that around, rumors or whatever, in the hope that they can take my seat. Yeah, I’m staying here for a while. I get better every year, man. I get better every year. I feel like that.”
He’s shown it this year in a bounce-back season in which he’s won three races for the first time since 2018. Power struggled mentally most of last year as his wife battled a near fatal staph infection that left him distracted at the racetrack.
Now that Liz Power has healed and is back attending races with him, his race craft is back to its 2022 level. And his win at Portland cut Palou’s lead in the championship race from 66 to 54 points.
Although four drivers remain mathematically eligible to win the title, it’s really down to Palou and Power as each is seeking a third IndyCar championship. Palou won at Portland last year to wrap up his second title, but he finished nearly 10 seconds back of Power on Sunday.
“It’s going to be the same for the rest of the year. You’ve got no choice but to be ahead of him,” Power said of his strategy the remaining three races.
IndyCar closes out the year with a doubleheader next weekend at the Milwaukee Mile, followed by the September season finale at Nashville Superspeedway. Power has raced Nashville once before and has one victory in six previous starts at Milwaukee Mile.
Palou has never won on an oval or even raced at the two remaining venues on the schedule. Power, who has 10 career victories on ovals, is salivating over the opportunity in front of him.
“To win in this series, at this time, it’s so difficult. You get a third championship from a deficit of 54 points at this point, come back from a deficit like that, that would be amazing,” Power said. “To finish on all ovals, as well, kind of going back to my early days, sort of unfinished business there. It’s a tough climb from here, but not impossible.”
Although he wasn’t emotional about it Sunday, Power took a moment to reflect on his first opportunity in America when Walker Racing flew him to Portland from Australia in 2005 to test in what was then called the Champ Car Series.
Power impressed the team so much that he got two races that year and a full season in 2006. So he considers Portland his launching pad of sorts, and a fitting spot Sunday to ensure he doesn’t let Palou run away with the title.
“It’s the first track I ever drove at in the U.S, first time I ever drove an Indy car,” Power said. “I still remember it, driving down the back straight, I had the thought, ‘Man, I could be paid to do this.’ I remember that day, I do. I remember driving that car. It was good memories. A long time ago.”
It made him reflective and again reiterate that he doesn’t want to retire, he loves his job and racing in IndyCar, and doesn’t have any idea what he’d even do if he walked away at the end of next season.
“I love all the tracks. It would be really tough for me to walk away from this sport. It really would,” Power said. “The feeling of being a part of something, trying to accomplish something with a group of people, I think you’d be pretty lost. If I stopped, I’d be very lost with what to do.
“No way that I thought I would have driven for the best team in the U.S., won on ovals, won the Indy 500. All those things. Won a championship,” he continued. “I worked very hard always, was very determined. It’s something that unfolds very slowly. It’s not a big shock that it happened now. When you reflect on it when you came here all those years ago, it was a dream. What I’ve done, I’ve lived out my dream, absolutely. I’ve just lived it out.”

INDIANAPOLIS INDIANS
INDIANS DROP SERIES FINALE IN COLUMBUS, 5-2
COLUMBUS, Ohio – A three-run bottom of the fourth inning was the difference on Sunday afternoon at Huntington Park, as the Indianapolis Indians fell to the Columbus Clippers in the series finale, 5-2.
The Clippers (33-17, 65-59) jumped in front against Indians starter Luis Cessa (L, 4-5) in the bottom of the first on a solo home run from Juan Brito. The Guardians No. 10 prospect (per MLB Pipeline) also plated a run in the fifth with an RBI single after doubling in the fourth. His double came just one pitch before Chase DeLauter’s RBI double, and DeLauter was driven in on a two-run home run from George Valera in that three-run fourth inning against Cessa.
The Indians (26-23, 59-63) jumped out to a 2-1 lead in the top of the second against Clippers opener Zak Kent on a fielding error and an RBI single from catcher Dylan Shockley, who was playing his first game with the Indians since June 30. However, Indianapolis’ bats fell silent against southpaw Doug Nikhazy (W, 5-2), who worked 4.2 scoreless innings in long relief after starting the series opener on Tuesday. Andrew Misiaszek and Franco Aleman finished the job for the Clippers, recording the final five outs of the game.
Both rehabbing relievers appeared for the Indians in the series finale, with right-hander Carmen Mlodzinski firing 1.2 scoreless innings before Ryan Borucki struck out the side in a scoreless eighth. Second baseman Nick Gonzales, rehabbing from a groin strain, went 1-for-4 as the Indians leadoff man.
The Indians went 1-for-7 with runners in scoring position on Sunday afternoon. In the 4-2 series loss to Columbus this week, the Indians hit just .135 (10-for-74) with runners in scoring position.
After a scheduled off day on Monday, the Indians return home to start a seven-game series with the Reds-affiliated Louisville Bats on Tuesday evening at 7:05 PM ET. Tickets are still available for all six game days at indyindians.com/tickets.
PURDUE WOMEN’S SOCCER
BOILERMAKERS SHUT OUT FLAMES
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Goals by a pair of seniors helped send the Purdue soccer team to a 2-0 victory over UIC on Sunday afternoon at Folk Field.
On a hot and sun-soaked day, senior midfielder Cloey Uddenberg scored in the 44th minute to give the Boilermakers (2-1-1) a 1-0 lead going into halftime and fellow senior midfielder Abigail Roy added an insurance goal in the 78th minute.
Purdue had 15 shots, seven on goal, and the Flames (1-2-0) were limited to five shots, one on target. The home side held an 8-5 advantage in corners.
Uddenberg’s goal is the first of her NCAA D-I career and her third overall, along with two at University of Guelph in 2022. It’s her first collegiate game-winning goal and the first points in her inaugural campaign as a Boilermaker. Junior forward Kayla Budish’s assist is the fifth of her career and her first in 2024. Roy’s goal is the second of her career, along with one in 2021.
Senior forward Lexi Fraley posted a game-high six shots and two shots on goal and junior forward Chiara Singarella had three shots, one on frame. Sophomore goalkeeper Emily Edwards made one save and earned her second clean sheet in three starts this season. Her UIC counterpart made five saves.
Sunday’s game was Purdue’s third at home and first day game of the young campaign. UIC took to the road for the first time in 2024. It was the first time the Boilermakers and Flames had ever faced each other.
Fifth-year defender Mackenzie Jones and senior midfielder Lauren Meeks made their Boilermaker debuts when they came in as a first-half sub. Meeks totaled 49 minutes in the contest and Jones saw 34 minutes on the pitch.
The Boilermakers controlled possession for much of the opening third of the first half, and Singarella had the team’s first chance that was saved in the ninth minute. Less than 90 seconds later, the Boilermaker defense blocked the Flames’ first chance.
Singarella had another great opportunity in the 21st minute, on a centering cross in from senior midfielder Zoie Allen, but her shot from just outside the top of the 18 was barely above the crossbar. Three minutes later, a UIC shot went wide.
In the 30th minute, Fraley nearly found the back of the net from the left side on a chip over the keeper. However, the ball was deflected just enough and it hit off the post. Fraley’s chance came three minutes after she subbed into the game, and she had another opportunity saved two minutes after she hit the post.
Uddenberg’s goal gave Purdue a 1-0 lead two minutes before halftime at 43:00.
Budish had the ball on the right side outside the penalty area, dribbled around a defender towards the goal line and sent a perfectly-placed cross into the center of the six-yard box. The ball found Uddenberg, who headed it in from five yards out into the right side of the net. She beat the UIC keeper who had stayed on her line and had no time to react.
Purdue out-shot UIC 8-2 in the opening 45 minutes, with a 3-0 edge in shots on target. The Flames had three corners to the Boilermakers’ two.
The Flames had the first chance of the second half, which was wide in the 62nd minute, and senior forward Gracie Dunaway had a shot saved in the 65th minute as she tried to extend the advantage.
Two minutes after a UIC shot was forced wide, sophomore forward Lauren Omholt had a great opportunity in the 74th minute, but that was saved to set up a corner kick. Purdue could not find a shot on goal off the free kick.
The Boilermakers made it 2-0 at 77:09, as Roy scored on the counter-attack. Off a UIC corner kick, Omholt pressed the Flames defender inside the center circle. While UIC regained possession, Roy quickly came in and stole the ball and began her run from the visitors’ side of the halfway line. With Omholt to her left and two defenders trailing behind, Roy took the ball into the 18-yard box for a one-on-one opportunity against the goalkeeper. Just to the right of the penalty spot, Roy slotted the ball past the UIC keeper, who was six yards out, and into the left corner of the goal.
With a 2-0 lead, Purdue did not let up, and Fraley had two chances to make it 3-0 in the 80th and 81st minutes, but the first shot was high and the second saved.
Edwards made her only save of the contest in the 83rd minute, on a chance which ended up being the last for either team in the contest.
The home side had seven shots, four on goal, and the visitors had three shots, one on frame in the final 45 minutes. Purdue earned six corners and UIC had two.
After hosting a pair of teams from Chicago, the Boilermakers head to the Windy City to play another, as they face DePaul on Thursday, August 29, at 5 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. CT. Then, Purdue is back home to conclude weekend No. 3 of the season against Dayton on Sunday, September 1, at 1 p.m. ET, for Senior Day and Alumnae Reunion Weekend at Folk Field.

44′ | At the end of the first half, Macie Mietz receives the ball in the center of the field. She pushes forward, uncontested, and then passes forward to Whittaker.

IU-INDY WOMEN’S SOCCER
FREY TALLIES LATE SCORE IN JAGUARS’ 3-1 ROAD LOSS AT SIU
CARBONDALE, Ill. – The IU Indianapolis women’s soccer team was on the wrong side of a 3-1 outcome on Sunday (Aug. 25), yielding the game’s first three scores before Emma Frey provided a late bright spot. Frey registered her first goal of the season (fourth of her career) in the 89th minute to break up the shutout bid.
Sophia Schlicklin powered the SIU (2-0-2) offense with a goal and an assist and Marta Forne and Brooklyn Maier also tallied for the victors.
Forne scored the game’s first goal in the 22nd minute off SIU’s first corner kick of the day, staking the hosts to a 1-0 lead. The Jaguars threatened to knot the score early in the second half as Caroline Kelley had a pair of shot attempts blocked, each resulting in a corner kick.

Maier made it 2-0 with her first goal of the season in the 65th minute and Schlicklin added insurance in the 72nd minute.

PURDUE FT. WAYNE WOMEN’S SOCCER
FRESHMEN LIFT ‘DONS TO 1-0 VICTORY AT EIU
CHARLESTON, Ill. – Purdue Fort Wayne women’s soccer team tallied their first road win of the season with a 1-0 victory over Eastern Illinois on Sunday (Aug. 25). Newcomers played a key role in the win with a freshman netting the game-winning goal and another earning a shutout in her first collegiate start.
Both sides started off the night with similar plays, a scrum in the box that resulted in blocked shots for each team. Eastern Illinois applied pressure with a barrage of shots around the 25 minute mark, but freshman goalkeeper Sam Christle turned down each of the Panthers’ chances.
Freshman Maci Toporcer responded immediately with back-to-back shots on goal for the ‘Dons. Neither found the back of the net.
The Mastodons opened the second half with several close looks at the goal. Within six yards of the goal, Gigi Ricciardi found Scarlett Webster with a shot that was saved. Just a possession later, Ricciardi sent a shot off the crossbar after freeing herself from a defender.
With 10 minutes remaining on the clock, Kailey Hansen found a streaking Hailey Hoskins right in front of the goal for the game-winning strike. Hoskins scored the game-winning goal on her first collegiate shot on goal.
Christle earned a shutout in her collegiate debut, finishing the match with eight saves.
Purdue Fort Wayne advances to 2-1-1 and Eastern Illinois falls to 1-2-1. The Mastodons travel to Eastern Michigan on Thursday (Aug. 29) to play at 4:30 p.m.
EVANSVILLE MEN’S SOCCER
ACES MEN’S SOCCER COMES UP BIG IN WIN AGAINST MEMPHIS
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – An early lead helped the University of Evansville men’s soccer team cruise to a 3-0 win over the Memphis Tigers on Sunday evening.
Senior forward Nacho Diaz Barragan (Almeria, Spain) added goals two and three of the year in the second half to help the Purple Aces to their second win in as many games. Junior defender Nacho Diaz Caneja (Coruña, Spain / Oregon State) also put up a goal for UE in Sunday’s 3-0 victory over the Tigers, helping Evansville to an early lead with a goal in the seventh minute. Freshman goalkeeper Michal Mroz (Elk Grove, Ill. / Elk Grove HS) picked up the first clean sheet of his career, making six stops in the win.
The Aces got off to a hot start as senior midfielder Jose Vivas (Teruel, Spain) took the first shot of the game in less than 30 seconds. And UE kept the pressure going as Diaz Caneja found the back of the net in the seventh minute. Through traffic, Vivas poked out a cross to Diaz Caneja in front of the net that Diaz Caneja buried into the left side of the goal.
While Evansville wouldn’t find the back of the net again in the first half, the team did take the lead in shots five attempts to the Tigers two. It was a slower start to the second half for both teams after some fireworks near the end of the first half resulted in a yellow card for players on both sides. But it wasn’t long until the Aces found their offense again in the 62nd minute.
Diaz Barragan found his way around the Tigers goalkeeper after an initial blocked shot. The second attempt went into the top left corner of the net for his first unassisted goal of the season. Just 11 minutes later Diaz Barragan scored his third goal of the season for his first brace of the year.
In the 73rd minute of the game, fifth-year forward Kai Phillip took a free kick from the right line of the penalty area that found Diaz Barragan just past the penalty arc. Diaz Barragan then buried the cross with his right foot into the bottom right corner of the net. In the final 17 minutes of the game, Mroz faced nine shots with three saves to keep it a shutout for UE.
Evansville is currently off to its best start since the 2017 season when the Aces began the year with four straight wins. UE will try to add win number three in a week against Southern Indiana on Sunday, September 1st. Along with hosting the Mayor’s Cup, Evansville will celebrate the program’s 50th season next weekend. Kickoff for Sunday’s match is set for 7 p.m.
SOUTHERN INDIANA WOMEN’S SOCCER
USI COMES UP JUST SHORT IN FRONT END OF ROAD SWING AT EKU
RICHMOND, Ky. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Soccer came up just short in the front end of its two-game road swing Sunday afternoon, falling 1-0 at Eastern Kentucky University.
Southern Indiana (0-2-1) caught an unlucky break early on, as an Eastern Kentucky (1-3-0) shot near the penalty spot tipped off the glove of redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Anna Markland (Hoover, Alabama), off the post, and into the goal.
The Colonels, a high-volume shooting squad on Sunday, continued to pressure and challenge USI. The Screaming Eagles’ defense stood up to the challenge to keep the score a one-goal difference.
USI gained possession and flipped the field position into the attacking third in the 25th minute. Senior midfielder Maggie Duggan (Defiance, Missouri) put up USI’s first shot of the game just before the hydration break, which was saved by EKU’s senior goalkeeper Marah Krick.
Later, the Screaming Eagles had another good opportunity when junior defender Brynn Quick (Cottage Grove, Minnesota) sent a free kick from near midfield that went straight toward the goal and forced the Colonel’s netminder to make a diving save. Following an impressive save on the other end by Markland deep into the first half, Quick had another free kick on target and saved. Sunday was the second consecutive match that Quick recorded two shots on goal.
Looking to build on its 1-0 halftime advantage, Eastern Kentucky continued its aggressive attack with many shots in the second half. USI’s defense continued to be stout by blocking several shots.
Markland and senior keeper Zoe Lintner (Wildwood, Missouri), who entered the match in the middle of the second half for the last 26-plus minutes, also continued to stand in the way of EKU’s attempts toward any insurance with multiple saves.
Despite the solid defensive effort to keep the Screaming Eagles within reach of the 1-0 difference, a breakthrough reward would not come for USI. Southern Indiana had another potential tying chance on a corner kick in the middle of the second half when a header by junior midfielder Peyton Murphy (Bargersville, Indiana) could not find an opening across the goal line.
Southern Indiana faced 22 shots on the defensive end from Eastern Kentucky but held the Colonels to eight shots on goal. USI finished with eight shots and four on target. Junior forward Payton Seymour (Louisville, Kentucky) tied Quick with a team-high two shot attempts in the match. The combination of Markland and Lintner between the posts totaled six saves, four and two, respectively.
USI will play the backside of its two-game road swing with a trip to DeKalb, Illinois on Thursday to square off against Northern Illinois University. Kickoff Thursday is at 4 p.m. Coverage links of the match can be found at usiscreamingeagles.com
VALPO WOMEN’S SOCCER
SOCCER RALLIES LATE, EARNS 2-1 WIN OVER MILWAUKEE
It would be tough to script a more thrilling way to open the 2024 home campaign for Valpo soccer than what took place on Brown Field Sunday, as trailing 1-0 through 70 minutes, the Beacons found the back of the net twice late to reverse the result and pull out a 2-1 victory over visiting Milwaukee.
How It Happened
Milwaukee claimed the lead in the 14th minute on its first shot on goal of the match, as Lainey Higgins found the back of the net off a Jenni Andjelic assist.
A corner kick in the 20th minute provided not one, but two quality opportunities for Valpo to level the scoreline. But a header towards the far post and a subsequent follow effort on the rebound were both headed off the line by Milwaukee’s Kayla Rollins.
Less than four minutes later, it was Valpo’s turn for a team save, as sophomore Daisy Boardman (Warrington, Cheshire, England/Bridgwater) did her job at the post to clear a header away.
Redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Kate Sheridan (Grand Rapids, Mich./East Grand Rapids) came up with a sprawling save to her left on a shot from the edge of the six-yard box in the 37th minute to keep the Panthers from adding to their lead.
Less than 12 minutes into the second half, it was senior left back Abby White (Commerce Township, Mich./Walled Lake Central) who came up with a stop on the line, making herself big on the far post off a corner to deny an in-close effort. Sheridan smothered the follow-up effort as it remained 1-0.
A 10-pass sequence off a goal kick eventually resulted in the equalizer in the 72nd minute. The key portion of the buildup was freshman Landyn Wessels (Maple Hill, N.C./Jacksonville) playing White on the left side, who proceeded to run a give-and-go with freshman Carly Stewart (Granite Bay, Calif./Granite Bay) to get into the attacking half.
White played in senior Addy Joiner (Chesterton, Ind./Chesterton), who ran down the ball at the top-left corner of the box. Joiner was able to get around her defender and cut the ball back across the top of the six-yard box with a sliding effort. On the other end was senior Sam Gountounas (Tinley Park, Ill./Andrew), who shot first time with her left foot from 10 yards out and snuck it inside the near post to make it a 1-1 game.
It took just one more moment of magic from Joiner to turn the draw into a win, and it came with less than three minutes to play. Sophomore Anna Cup (Bartlett, Ill./South Elgin) took a quick free kick from the defensive half and sent it 40 yards downfield towards Joiner. The senior ran onto it about 25 yards from goal, got past one defender, cut inside with another defender angling towards her and sent a sliding, hard, right-footed effort from 15 yards out inside the right-hand post for the go-ahead.
Inside the Match
Both of Valpo’s victories this season have occurred in come-from-behind fashion, as the Beacons conceded first in the Chicago State match as well before scoring three unanswered. Last season, Valpo was winless in eight matches (0-5-3) when conceding first.
Sunday was the home opener for the Beacons, who won in their debut on Brown Field for a third straight season. The victory comes on the heels of one of the best home seasons in program history last year, as Valpo was 4-1-3 on Brown Field in 2023.
Valpo improved to 3-16-0 in the all-time series against Milwaukee, with all three of Valpo’s wins coming in the last four matchups against its former Horizon League counterpart.
Sunday’s win was over a Milwaukee squad which finished last season with an RPI of 36 and has won the Horizon League regular season title in 22 of the last 24 years.
Joiner just keeps scoring. The senior forward’s late strike was her second goal of the season and the 20th of her Valpo career, making her one of just six players in program history to reach the 20-goal mark. She currently sits in a tie for fifth place in the Valpo uniform with Kendall Brown and is just one goal out of fourth.
It was the seventh match-winning goal of Joiner’s career, also moving her in a tie for fifth in Valpo history. Coming with just 2:36 to play, it was the latest match-winner in regulation by a Valpo player since Kelsey Jahn struck with 27 seconds remaining in the 90 minutes in the 2017 MVC opener at Missouri State.
For the first time in her career, Joiner tallied a goal and an assist in the same game, as she recorded the helper on Gountounas’ equalizer. Joiner now owns five career assists and 45 career points, tied for sixth in program history with Luisa Desario in the latter department.
Joiner’s goal moved her back into a tie on the team’s season goals chart with Gountounas, whose 72nd-minute effort was her second goal of the season. After scoring three goals in her first three seasons, Gountounas has two in the first three games of her senior campaign.
Sheridan earned the win in goal, making six saves for the second consecutive contest.
Valpo utilized 19 field players on Sunday, including the first start in the Valpo uniform for fifth-year Ella Schad (Prairie du Sac, Wis./Sauk Prairie [Coastal Carolina]) and the collegiate debut of freshman Kate Jeffery (Southampton, Hampshire, England/Barton Peveril Sixth Form College).
White was the only Beacon to play the full 90 minutes, meaning that three games into the season, no field players have gone the distance every time out.
Milwaukee held a 23-9 advantage in shot attempts and a 7-2 edge in corners. The Panthers put nine shots on target to the Beacons’ seven. Milwaukee goalkeeper Parker Donahugh made three saves, while both sides had a pair of shots cleared off the line by opposing defenders.
Thoughts From Coach Marovich
“I’m really excited about our team being able to come from behind and get a result today. It was a hot day, Sunday games are always a grind, and we played a really good, really well-coached side in Milwaukee. We’ve talked about our team growing into the identity we’re trying to find with this group, and this result shows part of that identity is that willingness to grind it out and fight until the very end.”
“They’ve got a history of going to the NCAA Tournament, we’re coming off an NCAA last year — when you match up teams which have been the tournament, you expect them to make plays like you saw today — defenders clearing balls off the goal line, making important tackles in the box.”
“When you look at the moments when we needed players to make that one play late, you saw the seniors come up with those moments. Addy gets a cross to Sam on the back post, and Sam has found those goals on the back post a number of times in her career. Then late, Addy put in a great shift and was pretty gassed, but found that last run, that one last sprint and finished it off.”
“I felt like we had some very good performances from newcomers today. Kate Jeffery came in and was really committed to that battle in trying to get across someone’s face and being a good defensive presence as a 6 — it was a really good performance by her to lead in that space. Kaleigh Shafer did a really good job working in the midfield, grinding — a Molly-esque kind of approach to her performance. Towards the end of the game, once we took the lead, we’re thinking 5-6 more head balls to kill off the game. We had 4-5 good opportunities to do that inside the 18 and we did that. Those are the moments I see as special things, important things to do as we went up against a quality side.”
“Valpo Nation was awesome today. Thanks to all the students who came out — you brought great energy to the game and helped carry us to the end of the game. We’re glad we were able to give you the result you deserved for your support!”
Next Up
Valpo (2-1-0) will play just one match next week, hitting the road to play at Ohio next Sunday at noon CT. The match can be seen live on ESPN+.
VALPO FOOTBALL
KEARSTIN SCHWEITZER NAMED VALPO RUNNING BACKS COACH, BECOMES FIRST FEMALE POSITION COACH IN PFL
The Valparaiso University football program and head coach Landon Fox have announced the addition of Kearstin Schweitzer as the team’s running backs coach.
Schweitzer, who comes to Valpo after a stint working with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the National Football League, becomes the first female position coach in Valpo and Pioneer Football League history. She joins St. Thomas’ Anna Caruso (Quality Control: In-Game Strategy and Data Research) as females with on-field coaching responsibilities in the PFL.
“For me, it’s exciting to hire a young, up-and-coming coach,” Fox said. “I had a chance to interview Kearstin and knew right away that she is creative and has a plan. She believes in herself and the things that she can accomplish in this profession. We hired the best person for the job, and it’s awesome that it gives us the opportunity to have the first female football coach at Valpo. We are excited to have her on staff.”
Schweitzer spent this summer as part of the National Coaching Academy Fellowship with the Buccaneers, serving as an offensive fellow. She previously spent time with the Bucs as an NFL National Coaching Academy Finalist in May, working as part of the offensive staff during minicamp. She was chosen as one of the five individuals from the coaching academy who were invited to return to the Bucs for training camp.
“Valparaiso is close to home for me; it’s about an hour away from where I live in Illinois,” Schweitzer said. “Being close to home is not something that I’ve been able to experience, coaching in Wisconsin for the last six years and being in Florida with the Bucs. The opportunity to join Valparaiso’s program is super exciting to me.”
Schweitzer served as the Director of Football Operations, Chief of Staff and Assistant Wide Receivers Coach during her time at the University of Wisconsin Platteville, which spanned from 2021 to May 2024. She was part of the NFL Nunn-Wooten Scouting Fellowship with the Pittsburgh Steelers during the summer of 2023 after getting her start as the wide receivers coach at Lakeland University in 2020-2021.
Schweitzer was the first female coach in the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference while at Lakeland and was one of three in the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference while at UW-Platteville. She began as a student manager at Lakeland before she realized that she was picking up on football strategy and tactics throughout the season and asked the coaches if she could start attending film meetings to learn more about the game.
“Being a role model for young women is super important, and it’s something you don’t think about when you first take jobs,” Schweitzer said. “Today, there are 15 women who have coaching roles and are fully employed in the NFL. The number of women in football is growing. We are going to do our job and do it well, and in turn that is going to create future opportunities for women to get into the sport.”
During her time with the Bucs, Schweitzer worked closely with wide receivers coach Bryan McClendon and the widely-respected Skip Peete, who has been an NFL running backs coach for over 25 years. Peete’s 17-year-old daughter Gisele is one of the many young women who look up to Schweitzer, and the two had the opportunity to sit down and talk about what Schweitzer’s process was in terms of getting into football.
“I’ve had a few young women who are starting coaching reach out to me via Twitter asking me to be a mentor,” Schweitzer said. “Because I did a good job at Lakeland, the head coach didn’t hesitate to bring another female in to help his program after I left. It’s special to know that what I’m doing is affecting a future generation.”
Schweitzer earned her undergraduate degree in sports management and leadership from Lakeland University in December 2021 before going on to receive her master’s in sports administration from the University of Wisconsin-Platteville in May 2024. Her twin sister Madison is the head women’s volleyball coach at Kenyon College in Ohio.
What They’re Saying About Coach Schweitzer
Skip Peete, Tampa Bay Buccaneers Running Backs Coach: “First and foremost, Kearstin is a very motivated and determined young lady who wants to be the best possible coach that she can be. During the time she was here, she was always in the office and was diligent about looking as much into our offense as she could in a short period of time. I was very impressed with her preparation each and every day. When members of the fellowship come here, they are part of our staff, we treat them no differently than full-time staff members. Every day, we would talk about the scripts and different drills that we were running. Her knowledge, ability to communicate and the juice that she brings to the room was very special. That’s something everyone wants, especially in young coaches.”
Dan Colbert, Pittsburgh Steelers Director of Scouting: “Kearstin is the type of person who will never back down from a challenge. She brings a willingness to do the hard work required to achieve a desired outcome. She brings a team-first mentality, attacks every day with enthusiasm and is willing to learn to get better. She comes with unique experience and knowledge of the game. She’s a skilled communicator who can build and cultivate relationships with players and staff. Her future is bright and she is an asset to any program.”
Ryan Munz, UW-Platteville Head Coach: “We are excited to see Coach Kea in this position at a Division-1 program. Her experience and development the last two years has allowed her to be ready to take on this new role. Everyone in Platteville will be cheering for her. She is going to crush it!”
Michael Martin, UW-Platteville Assistant Athletic Director for Sports Performance: “Coach Schweitzer is a rising star in the profession. Her experiences in multiple roles at various levels of football including the highest levels is a tremendous asset. Her passion for the game, combined with her ability to connect with players, and her unyielding determination is what sets her apart. I am excited to see the positive impact that she will undoubtedly have.”
Brett Allen, UW-Platteville Offensive Coordinator: “Kearstin doesn’t sugar-coat anything. She holds her players to the highest of standards and won’t accept anything but her players’ highest of efforts.”

Southfield, Mich. – The Marian men’s soccer team landed in the win column for the first time in the 2024 season as four Knights combined to score five goals in a 5-2 victory over Lawrence Tech. Marian’s win gives them a 1-0-1 start on the season.
Lawrence Tech took the first offensive strike of the game after earning a corner kick in the first 30 seconds of play, following with a shot on goal that was smothered by Juan Torres. The Blue Devils would attack again in the third minute and take a corner in the 14th, however came up without a goal after strong defensive play. In the 18th minute, Marian received their first goal from the leg of Cameron O’Brien, who was able to get the ball in stride from Foslyn Grant, twisting a left-footed shot into the goal for the opening score. The chance was created by Yoshiaki Takeishi, who defended a throw in ahead to Grant to start the play.
Takeishi helped Marian’s second scoring chance in the 22nd minute, as a throw-in from the right side of the pitch found the feet of Grant, who quickly put away his second goal of the season to provide a 2-0 lead. Marian’s lead would stick as the game progressed to halftime, despite the Knights trailing in shot attempts by a 6-5 count.

NUMBERS IN SPORTS
4 – 23 – 15 – 23 – 26 – 32 – 9 – 33 – 16
August 26, 1912 – MLB pitcher Walter Johnson’s 16-game winning streak ends
August 26, 1930 – Chicago Cub’s Hack Wilson (who would eventually wear Number 4) hits his 44th HR, breaks Chuck Klein’s NL record
August 26, 1938 – Montreal Maroons dropped from NHL. The franchise started up in the league during the 1924-25 season when the Boston Bruins were added to the fold. The Maroons shared the city with the Canadiens for almost a decade. Their purpose was to be the team of the English speaking population of the City while the Canadiens appeased the French-speaking contingent. The Maroons filled a void left when a 1917 fire burned down the arena of a prior club called the Montreal Wanderers. At first, the Canadiens organization challenged the rise of the Maroons, but the NHL appeased them by handing over a good portion of the Maroon’s $15,000 League entrance fee. During their 14-year existence, the Maroons qualified for the playoffs in all but three seasons and won the Stanley Cup during the 1926 and 1935 seasons. In 1935 they went undefeated in the postseason but the writing was on the wall due mainly to economic reasons incurred due to the Great Depression and the two teams in one city.
August 26, 1947 – Dodgers’ Dan Bankhead, Number 23 who was MLB’s first African-American pitcher, tagged a home run in his very first MLB at-bat in a 16-3 loss to Pittsburgh, at Ebbetts Field, Brooklyn, NYC
