NFL ROUNDUP: CHIEFS HARASS NINERS, STAY UNBEATEN
Kareem Hunt rushed for two touchdowns in the first half on Sunday and the Kansas City Chiefs stayed unbeaten with a 28-18 victory over the San Francisco 49ers in Santa Clara, Calif.
Patrick Mahomes completed 16 of 27 passes for 154 yards with two interceptions for Kansas City (6-0) in a rematch of last season’s Super Bowl, won by the Chiefs. He also ripped off a career-high 33-yard run to set up a key fourth-quarter touchdown.
The Chiefs outrushed San Francisco 184-101 and possessed the ball for more than 35 minutes.
Brock Purdy hit on 17 of 31 passes for 212 yards but tossed three interceptions, two of them ending potential scoring drives in the second half. The 49ers (3-4) were missing three offensive starters by the time the game ended. Wide receivers Deebo Samuel (illness) and Brandon Aiyuk (knee) left before halftime, and tackle Trent Williams was ejected late in the fourth quarter for throwing a punch.
San Francisco pulled within 14-12 with 10:29 left in the third when Purdy rushed for the first of his two touchdowns from 1 yard out, but the 49ers failed to make the ensuing two-point conversion. They were later driving for a possible go-ahead score when Purdy was picked off by Chris Roland-Wallace at the Kansas City 21-yard line.
Lions 31, Vikings 29
Jake Bates drilled a go-ahead, 44-yard field goal with 15 seconds remaining and Detroit held on in Minneapolis to defeat previously unbeaten Minnesota.
Jared Goff completed 22 of 25 passes for 280 yards and two touchdowns for Detroit (5-1). Jahmyr Gibbs had 15 carries for 116 yards and two touchdowns, and Amon-Ra St. Brown recorded eight catches for 112 yards and a score.
Sam Darnold completed 22 of 27 passes for 259 yards, one touchdown and one interception for Minnesota (5-1). Aaron Jones had 93 rushing yards and a touchdown, and Justin Jefferson led the team’s receivers with seven catches for 81 yards and a touchdown.
Packers 24, Texans 22
Newly signed Brandon McManus kicked a game-winning 45-yard field goal as time expired to lift host Green Bay over Houston.
McManus, who joined the Packers (5-2) on Tuesday after the team released inconsistent rookie Brayden Narveson, drilled the game-winner after the Packers drove 44 yards in the game’s final 1:44. The Texans (5-2) had taken a 22-21 lead on the previous possession on Ka’imi Fairbairn’s third field goal of the game, a 35-yarder.
Packers quarterback Jordan Love completed 24 of 33 passes for 220 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions. Josh Jacobs had 76 yards on 12 carries, and Romeo Doubs finished with eight catches for 94 yards. Houston running back Joe Mixon rushed 25 times for 115 yards and two TDs. C.J. Stroud was 10-for-21 passing for 86 yards.
Eagles 28, Giants 3
Saquon Barkley rushed for 176 yards and a touchdown against his former team and Jalen Hurts was responsible for three scores, lifting Philadelphia over New York in East Rutherford, N.J.
Barkley, who spent his first six seasons with the Giants, received a chorus of boos from the crowd at MetLife Stadium. He scored on a 3-yard run in the first quarter and rolled off long runs of 55, 38 and 41 yards. Hurts completed 10 of 14 passes for 114 yards and a touchdown and rushed for two scores to send the Eagles (4-2) to their second straight victory.
Daniel Jones completed 14 of 21 passes for 99 yards and took seven sacks before being replaced by Drew Lock early in the fourth quarter. Lock fared no better and was sacked once as the Giants (2-5) fell to 0-4 at home this season.
Commanders 40, Panthers 7
Dante Fowler Jr. returned an interception for a touchdown and Washington overcame the loss of quarterback Jayden Daniels to roll past Carolina in Landover, Md.
Brian Robinson Jr. rushed for 71 yards and a touchdown and Austin Seibert made field goals of 23, 49, 31 and 29 yards, helping the Commanders (5-2) stay unbeaten in three home games. Daniels left with a rib injury in the first quarter.
Andy Dalton threw for 93 yards for the Panthers (1-6), who had 180 yards of total offense with 10 first downs while losing their fourth game in a row. Former starter Bryce Young played in Carolina’s last series, which had minus-1 yard.
Seahawks 34, Falcons 14
Geno Smith completed 18 of 28 passes for 207 yards and two touchdowns as visiting Seattle strolled past Atlanta to snap a three-game losing streak.
Kenneth Walker III rushed for a team-high 69 yards and a touchdown and DK Metcalf caught four passes for 99 yards and a score for the Seahawks (4-3). Seattle forced three fourth-quarter turnovers to ice the win.
Kirk Cousins completed 24 of 35 passes for 232 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions as the Falcons (4-3) had their three-game winning streak snapped. Bijan Robinson rushed for 103 yards and a touchdown in the loss.
Bills 34, Titans 10
Josh Allen threw for 323 yards and two touchdowns as Buffalo shrugged off a slow start to rout Tennessee in Orchard Park, N.Y.
Allen completed 21 of 33 passes, putting Buffalo (5-2) ahead for good when he hit new target Amari Cooper for a 12-yard score less than five minutes into the third quarter. Cooper caught four passes for 66 yards in his Bills debut.
Mason Rudolph hit on 25 of 40 pass attempts for 215 yards with a touchdown and an interception for Tennessee, which fell to 1-5. Rudolph got the start when Titans coach Brian Callahan decided to deactivate starter Will Levis (shoulder) on Saturday.
Bengals 21, Browns 14
Charlie Jones took the game’s opening kickoff 100 yards to the end zone and Cincinnati never looked back, knocking off host Cleveland for its third win in four games.
Cleveland (1-6) entered Sunday on a four-game losing streak but had star running back Nick Chubb active for the first time this season. However, the Browns watched quarterback Deshaun Watson get carted off the field with 1:22 left in the second quarter because of a non-contact Achilles injury.
Watson completed 15 of 17 passes for 128 yards prior to exiting. Dorian Thompson-Robinson took over under center and totaled 82 yards and two picks on 11-for-24 passing. Joe Burrow hit on 15 of 25 passes for 181 yards and touchdowns to Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins for Cincinnati (3-4).
Rams 20, Raiders 15
Kyren Williams ran for 76 yards and two touchdowns and Kamren Curl returned a fumble 33 yards for a score as Los Angeles pulled off a victory over Las Vegas in Inglewood, Calif.
The Rams won despite quarterback Matthew Stafford throwing for just 154 yards with an interception. Los Angeles (2-4) gained 259 total yards in the victory, while the Raiders gained 317, but with four turnovers. Jaylen McCollough had two interceptions for the Rams, and Daniel Carlson made five field goals for Las Vegas.
Gardner Minshew threw for 154 yards with three interceptions for the Raiders after he replaced Aidan O’Connell (thumb) late in the first quarter. Rookie Brock Bowers had 10 receptions for 93 yards. Alexander Mattison had 92 rushing yards for Las Vegas (2-5).
Jaguars 32, Patriots 16
Tank Bigsby rushed for 118 yards and two touchdowns to lead Jacksonville past New England in London.
Trevor Lawrence threw for 193 yards and a touchdown for the Jaguars (2-5), who fell behind 10-0 before scoring 25 unanswered points. They prevailed for the second time in their past three games after an 0-4 start.
The Patriots (1-6), in turn, lost their sixth game in a row after recording an opening week victory. In his second career start, rookie quarterback Drake Maye completed 26 of 37 passes for 276 yards and threw a pair of touchdown passes, including a 16-yarder to JaMycal Hasty to open the scoring.
Colts 16, Dolphins 10
Anthony Richardson passed for 129 yards and rushed for 56 to help Indianapolis squeeze out a victory over visiting Miami.
Richardson missed the previous two games with an oblique injury but helped the Colts (4-3) win their second straight contest. Tyler Goodson ran for a score, Grant Stuard racked up 18 tackles and Matt Gay kicked three field goals for Indianapolis.
Miami quarterback Tyler Huntley exited midway through the third quarter with an injury to his right throwing shoulder. Huntley completed 7 of 13 passes for 87 yards and one touchdown before exiting. Tim Boyle went the rest of the way, completing 8 of 13 passes for 74 yards. Jonnu Smith had seven receptions for 96 yards and a touchdown for the Dolphins (2-4).
COLLEGE FOOTBALL NEWS
AP TOP 25: OREGON IS NO. 1 FOR FIRST TIME SINCE 2012; VANDERBILT ENTERS POLL AND MICHIGAN DROPS OUT
Oregon became the fourth team this season to hold the No. 1 ranking in The Associated Press college football poll, moving into the top spot on Sunday for the first time in 12 years after Texas lost at home to Georgia.
Vanderbilt made its first appearance since the 2013 season, at No. 25, and defending national champion Michigan fell out after a second straight loss dropped it to 4-3.
Unbeaten Oregon followed its one-point home win over Ohio State with its first road shutout in 32 years, a 35-0 rout of Purdue, and received 59 of 61 first-place votes.
Georgia, which has won three straight games since its loss to Alabama, made a three-spot jump to No. 2 on the strength of its 30-15 win at previously No. 1 Texas. The Bulldogs got the other two first-place votes.
No. 3 Ohio State and No. 4 Penn State were idle Saturday and held their spots. Texas dropped to No. 5 after Georgia held it 28 points under its scoring average.
Miami prevailed in a wild game at Louisville and remained No. 6, and Tennessee rose four spots to No. 7 following its win over Alabama. LSU, Clemson and Iowa State rounded out the top 10.
No team this season has held the No. 1 spot for more than three straight weeks. Georgia topped the poll in the preseason but a one-point win at unranked Kentucky in Week 3 bumped the Bulldogs out. Texas took over for two weeks, then gave way to Alabama following the Crimson Tide’s win over Georgia.
Alabama lasted one week at No. 1, getting upset at Vanderbilt after its win over Georgia. That allowed Texas to return to the top for two weeks.
Chip Kelly was coach of the only other Oregon teams to reach No. 1. The 2012 Ducks, led by Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota, were in the top spot for one week in November 2012 after following a 10-0 start with a loss to Stanford. The 2010 team, which lost to Auburn in the BCS title game, spent six weeks at No. 1.
Poll points
This marks the first time since 2012 that four teams will play a game as the No. 1 team in the same season. Oregon was among the four that year. The others were Southern California, Alabama and Notre Dame. The other seasons since 2000 with four or more No. 1 teams were 2007 (4), 2008 (6) and 2010 (4).
Tennessee’s 24-17 win over Alabama produced the biggest moves in the poll. The Volunteers jumped from No. 11 to No. 7. The Crimson Tide dropped eight spots to No. 15, their lowest ranking since 2010.
Texas’ loss to Georgia was the first by a No. 1 team at home against a top-five opponent since Miami beat Florida State 17-16 in 1991.
In-and-out
Vanderbilt’s previous ranking was No. 24 in the final poll of the 2013 season. The Commodores, who beat Ball State to improve to 5-2, are off to their best start since opening 5-0 in 2008. That also was the last time Vandy was ranked in the regular season.
Michigan, which scored its fewest points in a game since 2014 in its 21-7 loss at Illinois, had been ranked in 54 consecutive polls since 2021.
Conference call
SEC 9 — (Nos. 2, 5, 7, 8, 14, 15, 18, 21, 25).
Big Ten — 5 (Nos. 1, 3, 4, 13, 20).
ACC — 4 (Nos. 6, 9, 19, 22).
Big 12 — 3 (Nos. 10, 11, 16).
American — 2 (Nos. 23, 24).
Mountain West — 1 (No. 17).
Independent — 1 (No. 12).
Ranked vs. Ranked
—No. 20 Illinois at No. 1 Oregon. The Illini play the top-ranked team for the first time since 2007. They won 28-21 at Ohio State that year.
—No. 5 Texas at No. 25 Vanderbilt. First matchup since these teams met 12 times between 1899-1928. Commodores haven’t beaten two Top 25 opponents in the same season since 2008.
—No. 8 LSU at No. 14 Texas A&M. This has become one of the SEC’s better series lately. The teams have split their last three meetings.
—No. 12 Notre Dame at No. 24 Navy. This will be the 11th time in 97 meetings, and first since 2019, that both teams are ranked when they meet.
—No. 21 Missouri at No. 15 Alabama. Nothing comes easily for either team this season. The two-loss Crimson Tide haven’t dropped three games before November since 2006.
WNBA NEWS
NYARA SABALLY HELPS LIBERTY CAPTURE TITLE IN OT VS. LYNX
Nyara Sabally picked a good night to play one of the best games of her life.
In the first overtime winner-take-all Finals game in WNBA history, Sabally had 13 points and seven rebounds off the bench — and connected on a breakaway layup in overtime that proved to be crucial game-sealing points — as the host New York Liberty defeated the visiting Minnesota Lynx 67-62 in Sunday night’s Game 5 to win their first championship in franchise history.
It was the first double-digit scoring performance of the postseason for Sabally. Her steal and fast-break bucket with 3:14 to play put the Liberty ahead 65-60. The Lynx would knock down two free throws to trim the deficit to three points, but never got any closer. Sabally blocked Napheesa Collier’s layup attempt with 1:18 to play, and Breanna Stewart later padded the Liberty lead with a pair of free throws.
The Lynx had the ball with 18.4 seconds to play in overtime with a chance to tie, but Bridget Carleton’s 3-point attempt missed the mark.
Stewart, who never came out of the game, finished with 13 points, 15 rebounds and four assists. Two free throws from her at the end of regulation sent the game into overtime. The Liberty also got 17 points from Jonquel Jones, 13 points from Leonie Fiebich, and five points, eight assists and seven rebounds from Sabrina Ionescu.
Jones was named Finals MVP after averaging 18 points and eight rebounds per game throughout the series.
The Liberty won despite Stewart and Ionescu — its two Olympians — combining for 5-of-34 shooting from the floor.
Collier, who fouled out with 13 seconds left in overtime, powered Minnesota with 22 points and seven rebounds, while Kayla McBride had 21 points, five rebounds, five assists and four steals.
Minnesota opened the decisive final game of the season with a 6-0 run and finished the first quarter ahead 19-10. Collier scored eight points in the opening frame and six more in the second. At halftime, the Lynx maintained a seven-point lead.
The momentum of the game seemed to swing in the Liberty’s favor midway through the third quarter when Sabally entered the game. When the third-year forward out of Oregon checked in, the Liberty trailed by five points. At the end of the third quarter — and after Sabally piled up nine points and two rebounds in about four-and-a-half minutes — New York led Minnesota by three points. Each of Sabally’s three field goals in the third frame were assisted by her former Oregon teammate, Ionescu.
“I feel like we just had to settle in, honestly,” Sabally said. “I’m blessed. Look at this arena. This is what I’ve been dreaming off.”
While Sabally soared, Ionescu struggled mightily, missing each of her first 14 shot attempts from the floor. According to ESPN, it marked the most consecutive misses in a winner-take-all game in WNBA history. Ionescu didn’t make her first field goal until there was 3:10 left to play, as she connected on a 3-pointer from 28 feet out on an assist from Stewart that put the Liberty ahead by four points.
A late surge from Minnesota, capped off by back-to-back baskets from Collier, gave the Lynx a two-point lead with 1:04 to play. With less than six seconds left, Stewart tied the game up after being fouled and then knocking down a pair of free throws. McBride’s late look from 3-point land didn’t connect for Minnesota as the game went to overtime.
For a team that plays in the New York borough of Brooklyn, the championship won by the Liberty is the first for a Brooklyn-based team since Major League Baseball’s Dodgers won the World Series in 1955.
NHL NEWS
NHL ROUNDUP: JETS RALLY PAST PENGUINS TO STAY UNBEATEN
Mason Appleton had a goal and an assist in the third period and the Winnipeg Jets beat the visiting Pittsburgh Penguins 6-3 on Sunday.
Mark Scheifele scored his fifth goal for the Jets, who have won five straight to start the season. Nikolaj Ehlers, Josh Morrissey and Colin Miller had two assists apiece, and Eric Comrie made 39 saves in his first start of the season.
Lars Eller scored twice for the Penguins and Alex Nedeljkovic made 31 saves in his first start of the season. Rookie Joel Blomqvist was the backup and Tristan Jarry was a healthy scratch.
Adam Lowry, Appleton and Nino Niederreiter scored in the third period to help Winnipeg pull away late.
Avalanche 4, Sharks 1
Ross Colton scored twice and Cale Makar added one goal and two assists as visiting Colorado defeated San Jose.
Joel Kiviranta scored the other goal for the Avalanche, who won back-to-back games for the first time this season after snapping a four-game losing streak with a 4-3 win over the Anaheim Ducks on Friday.
William Eklund scored the lone goal and Vitek Vanecek stopped 18 shots for the Sharks, who are winless in six games this season (0-4-2).
Kings 4, Ducks 1
Adrian Kempe and Alex Laferriere scored goals early in the third period to help lead visiting Los Angeles to a victory over Anaheim in the first game of the season in the Freeway Faceoff Series.
Kevin Fiala and Mikey Anderson added two empty-net goals to cap the four-goal third-period and seal it for Los Angeles, which won its second straight game. David Rittich finished with 14 saves for the Kings, who were playing the sixth game of a season-opening seven-game road trip necessitated by renovations at Crypto.com Arena.
Ryan Strome scored a goal and Lukas Dostal made 33 saves for Anaheim.
J.T. POSTON HANGS ON TO WIN SHRINERS CHILDREN’S OPEN
J.T. Poston had a strong back nine and returned to the winner’s circle at the Shriners Children’s Open on Sunday in Las Vegas.
Poston’s 4-under-par 67 pushed him to 22-under 262 for the week at TPC Summerlin, giving him a one-shot win over playing partner Doug Ghim (final-round 65).
The tournament had fallen behind schedule due to a lengthy wind delay Friday morning. The third round was not completed until Sunday morning, when Poston birdied Nos. 14, 15 and 18 to build a three-shot lead over the hard-charging Ghim.
During the final round, the par-5 ninth hole represented a two-shot swing as Ghim sank an 11-foot eagle putt and Poston settled for par. But Poston’s birdies at Nos. 12, 13 and 15 — the first coming on a 21 1/2-foot putt — gave him the cushion he needed to absorb his lone bogey at No. 17.
It is Poston’s third win on the PGA Tour and his first since the 2022 John Deere Classic. He was competing this week despite finishing the main FedEx Cup race inside the top 50.
Ghim, though, made a nice stride from No. 93 in the FedEx Cup Fall points standings to No. 70. If he finishes the fall in the 51-60 range, he will qualify for the first two signature events of 2025.
Matti Schmid of Germany and Rico Hoey of the Philippines each shot 66 for their final rounds to tie for third at 19 under. Michael Kim carded a 62 to leap into a tie for fifth at 18 under with Davis Thompson (66) and South Korea’s K.H. Lee (66).
TIM O’NEAL FIRES 65, WINS DOMINION ENERGY FOR FIRST CHAMPIONS TITLE
Tim O’Neal shot the best round of the week, a 7-under-par 65, and won for the first time on the PGA Tour Champions at the Dominion Energy Charity Classic on Sunday in Richmond, Va.
At the first leg of the tour’s Charles Schwab Cup Playoffs, O’Neal not only earned his long-awaited win but also rocketed from No. 55 in the points standings to No. 13. Only the top 54 players after Sunday’s results qualify for the second playoff event, the Simmons Bank Championship.
O’Neal went 13-under 203 for the week at the Country Club of Virginia, two shots better than Argentina’s Ricardo Gonzalez (final-round 69). David Brandson of Australia (67) finished third at 10 under.
“It’s been a long season,” a tearful O’Neal told the Golf Channel broadcast. “For me to get it done when I had to, it means a lot.”
O’Neal, 52, never played his way onto the PGA Tour but racked up eight career wins on smaller tours in the U.S., Latin America and Europe. Prior to Sunday, he had just four top-10 finishes in his brief PGA Tour Champions career.
“I don’t know. It was how it was supposed to happen, I guess,” O’Neal said of his journey. “I’ve been playing well in the past few weeks but just giving too many shots back. The last two days were really solid. It only takes one week, right, and this was my week.”
O’Neal, who began the day three shots off the pace set by Ken Duke, started hot with six birdies and a bogey over his first 10 holes. He stuck a pair of great approaches at the par-5 16th and 18th holes to give himself short birdie putts, which proved to be critical in the final stretch.
Gonzalez birdied No. 15 to get within two strokes but parred the next two holes. He missed the fairway off the 18th tee and could not produce the eagle necessary to force a playoff, finishing with one final par.
“I didn’t really scoreboard-watch,” O’Neal said. “I just kept telling myself, just keep hitting greens and giving myself birdie looks.”
Tim Petrovic (70) placed fourth at 8 under. Duke struggled to a 2-over 74 and slipped into a tie for fifth at 7 under with Stewart Cink (71), Paul Goydos (70), Kenny Perry (70), Rod Pampling of Australia (68) and Thomas Bjorn of Denmark (66).
Ernie Els of South Africa (T20 at 4 under par) gained a slight lead in the points race over second-place Steven Alker of New Zealand (T37, 1 under par).
Chris DiMarco (from No. 51 to No. 55), Kirk Triplett (No. 53 to No. 56) and Argentina’s Angel Cabrera (No. 54 to No. 59) fell onto the wrong side of the cut line.
HANNAH GREEN’S LATE BIRDIE PROPELS HER TO WIN AT BMW LADIES CHAMPIONSHIP
Australian Hannah Green carded a crucial birdie at hole No. 17 and finished with a 71, good enough to hold off a pair of hard-charging competitors to capture the BMW Ladies Championship in a wire-to-wire win in windy Paju, South Korea, on Sunday.
She entered the final round at Seowon Hills course at Seowon Valley Country Club at 18-under par and with a two-stroke lead but was tied with Thailand’s Chanettee Wannasaen as she made the turn onto the back nine. Wannasaen, who began Sunday five shots back, narrowed the gap on the front nine, with four birdies and an eagle to finish the front nine with a 6-under par 30 and move to 19-under.
Green also made the turn at 19-under after two birdies and a bogey.
But Wannasaen couldn’t maintain her momentum on the back side, with two bogeys to finish the round at 68 and at 17-under for the tournament.
That didn’t mean Green, who was seeking her third win of the season, could cruise to the title.
France’s Celine Boutier shot the day’s low round (66), making a charge on the back nine with five birdies in the final seven holes to take the clubhouse lead at 18-under 270 for the tournament.
A bogey on the par-5 No. 11 dropped Green to 18-under, and she played the next five holes at even par as Boutier watched from the clubhouse. Green’s second shot on the par-4 hole No. 17 rolled to just a few feet from the pin, giving her a makeable putt to record a birdie. A par at No. 18 gave Green her sixth career win and left Boutier in second place and Wannasaen in third.
“Yeah, it was a crazy finish, I guess,” Green said. “My caddie said to me at the start of the day, ‘Let’s try and get a lead and have a bit of a cushion coming in.’ I did not do that and made it very interesting. But the putt on 17, I was very nervous. I was just very happy to see that one go in and on the last hole I was hoping I would have more of a tap-in but I like to make things interesting.
“But yeah, just super proud of myself for hanging in there because today conditions were very tough. The wind was very swirly, and I think everyone was trying to battle the wind. Yeah, it was tough. I haven’t experienced a wind direction change like that before.”
Green joins Nelly Korda and Lydia Ko as the only women with at least three wins in 2024.
For Boutier, it was her second straight top-10 finish on the Asia swing, coming in T9 last week at the Buick LPGA Shanghai.
“I think my long game has been really solid for a while now. I just haven’t been able to score very much, and then the last two weeks, I was able to hit a few rounds really low,” Boutier said. “So I think that’s helped me a lot.”
Wannasaen was the only player this week to record all four rounds in the 60s and was pleased with her result.
“I think this week is perfect. I really like Korea,” she said. “Korea is my favorite country, and you know, like last year, I played this course not good. But this year, I played really well.”
A pair of South Koreans rounded out the top five, tied for fourth at 16-under. Hye-Jin Choi shot a 67 while tour rookie Yu Jin Sung followed Saturday’s 63 with a 72.
Defending champion Minjee Lee’s 77 left the Australian at 5-under with a T33 finish.
NASCAR NEWS
JOEY LOGANO WINS IN VEGAS, LOCKS UP CHAMPIONSHIP BERTH
Joey Logano had his second great week in a row, hitting the jackpot in Las Vegas, Nevada, by holding off Christopher Bell to win Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series’ South Point 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and advancing into next month’s championship race.
Using a fuel strategy and older tires, the No. 22 Team Penske Racing driver passed Daniel Suarez with five laps to go and beat Bell, who had fresher tires and a faster car, by 0.662 seconds to become the first of four drivers to move to Phoenix in three weeks for the Championship 4 weekend.
Logano only made the Round of 8 opener after Hendrick Motorsports driver Alex Bowman was disqualified after last week’s race at the Charlotte Roval.
Following second-place Bell, who led 155 laps, were Suarez, William Byron and Bowman.
Among title contenders, Denny Hamlin finished eighth, while Kyle Larson rebounded from losing two laps to come in 11th.
In the 267-lap race, six of the eight title seekers started in the top 10. Chase Elliott started 18th, while reigning series champion Ryan Blaney began in 37th after wrecking early in practice Saturday and unloading a backup car.
With 16 laps to go in Stage 1, Daniel Hemric shoved Austin Dillon near Turn 3, and Dillon’s No. 3 Chevrolet crashed hard into the wall. That set multiple strategies in place on pit road as drivers opted for track position or new tires.
After running hard at the end last week at the Roval to secure a spot in the round, Tyler Reddick drove his No. 45 around fellow Toyota driver Martin Truex Jr. to pocket Stage 1’s 10-point bonus over Bell.
Lap 90 proved to be Reddick’s undoing, as contact between his car and Elliott’s left them both sliding down the front stretch’s slight banking.
As Reddick’s 23XI Racing car crossed the quarter-mile track sideways, it rolled over once, but the regular-season champion who led nine Vegas laps was retired from the race in 35th.
Blaney, the third championship driver to have problems, looped his No. 12 Ford at the rear of the field with a broken toe link and had to make repairs, as did Elliott.
With five of the eight title contenders having troubles — only Byron and Logano avoid issuesed — Bell added to his day by winning all 10 points in Stage 2 with Truex and Byron right behind him, giving him 19 of a possible 20 bonus points.

COLTS FOOTBALL
QB RICHARDSON’S LATE SCORING DRIVES SEND COLTS PAST DOLPHINS 16-10
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Anthony Richardson didn’t even bother to look at the stats on Sunday.
All he cared about was the win.
After missing almost three full games with an injured right hip, the Indianapolis Colts quarterback returned to action, took advantage of Tyler Goodson’s first NFL touchdown and led the Colts to two fourth-quarter field goals to get past the Miami Dolphins 16-10.
“We expected to come into this game and get the win, that was our whole mindset,” Richardson said. “It makes me feel good that we got the ‘W’ even though the offense was struggling a little to find consistency.”
It was more than a little.
Whether it was rust, the Dolphins stingy defense or a combination of both, Richardson went just 10 of 24 with 129 yards through the air and rushed 14 times for 56 yards on a day the Colts (4-3) produced just 284 total yards and one TD, Goodson’s 7-yard run to tie the score at 10 early in the third quarter.
Still, Indy managed to take the lead on Matt Gay’s 22-yard field goal with 8:41 left, extended the lead on Gay’s 38-yarder with 1:51 to go and got a fourth down stop at the Indianapolis 33-yard line to seal its fourth win in five weeks. The Colts have won three straight home games to pull within one game of AFC South-leading Houston (5-2).
“Obviously, we want to finish with touchdowns down there,” Colts coach Shane Steichen said. “We’ve got to be better, I’ve got to be better (on play calls), but we found a way to win the game and that’s what matters.”
Miami (2-4), again, couldn’t overcome its miscues while losing yet another quarterback, Tyler Huntley, to an injury in the third quarter. Huntley did not return and Tim Boyle finished the game.
Huntley was 7 of 13 with 87 yards, one TD and ran five times for 20 yards before leaving midway through the third quarter after hurting his throwing shoulder.
Boyle was 8 of 13 with 74 yards and while Devon Achane had 15 carries for 77 yards and Jonnu Smith caught seven passes for 96 yards and the Dolphins lone touchdown, Tyreek Hill had only one catch for 8 yards and Jaylen Waddle caught only one pass for 11 yards.
The NFL’s lowest-scoring team knows Hill and Waddle must be more involved.
“They were phenomenal all game. They’ve looked at their role in an expansive way,” coach Mike McDaniel said after losing the fourth time in five weeks. “When you run the ball 40 times, it does minimize your opportunities.”
And yet the Dolphins still had a chance to tie the score on a 54-yard field goal with 5:14 to go. But Jason Sanders’ kick clanked off the upright, keeping the Dolphins in a 13-10 deficit.
Miami and Indy combined for just one score in the first 29 minutes — Huntley’s 10-yard TD pass to Smith on third-and-goal midway through the first quarter.
Sanders made a 33-yard field goal with 22 seconds left in the first half and Gay matched it with a 52-yarder on the final play of the second quarter to get the Colts within 10-3.
Things didn’t change much in the second half.
Indy converted Raheem Mostert’s fumble into Goodson’s TD run with 9:08 left in the third quarter and it stayed that way until Indy converted Alec Ingold’s fumble into the second of Gay’s three field goals with 8:41 left in the game.
“My team has to trust in me to just go out there and make plays and just do what I do,” said Richardson, who had a new haircut for his return. “It’s just about keep doing me, keep doing what I’m doing despite struggling a little bit in the first half and a little bit in the second, they still trusted me to to call plays and make some plays.”
Clark honored
Former tight end Dallas Clark became the newest member of the Colts Ring of Honor during a halftime ceremony. His name and the years he played, 2003-11 now appear above the south end zone.
Clark played 11 seasons in the NFL, the first nine with Indy after the Colts drafted him in the first round. He finished his Colts career with 649 receptions, 4,887 yards, 46 TDs, two Super Bowl appearances and one All-Pro selection. Hall of Famers Peyton Manning, Marvin Harrison and Edgerrin James were among the attendees.
Rough start
The Colts had planned to have the retractable roof and the window in the north end zone open on a warm, sunny day. But mechanical problems forced the team to keep the roof closed.
“Roof closed due to operational issues,” team owner Jim Irsay posted on Twitter before the game. “Very disappointing. Apologies to our fans.”

NOTRE DAME VOLLEYBALL
IRISH FALL TO THE DEMON DEACONS
SOUTH BEND, Ind. – The Notre Dame Fighting Irish (9-7, 2-5) battled Wake Forest (11-8, 3-5) at home, falling in three sets (24-26, 25-27, 12-25). Freshman Morgan Gaerte led the way with 15 kills while freshmen Anna Bjork and Grace Langer recorded a team-best five blocks a piece.
It was a close set one as the Irish led by one before a 3-0 run that included a solo block from Langer and a kill from Gaerte made it 12-8. The Demon Deacons responded with a run of their own as they took the lead 18-16 to force an Irish timeout.
A block from Langer and Gaerte kept it within two at 22-20. At set point 24-21, the Irish went on another 3-0 run as a block from Avery Ross and Bjork tied it up at 24-all. The Demon Deacons would send home two final points to take set one 26-24
It was another close battle in set two. The Irish led 13-9 in set two until a 4-0 Wake Forest run tied it up at 13-all. It was back and forth as there were six ties from 20-all to final set two score of 27-25 as the Demon Deacons took the 2-0 advantage heading into set three.
Tied at 6-all to start the third, the Demon Deacons started to pull away with a 5-0 run. The Irish had it within six at 18-12, but Wake Forest would go on to take set three 25-12.
The Irish hit the road as they travel to face No. 12 SMU on Friday, Oct. 25 and No. 1 Pitt on Sunday, Oct. 27.
NOTRE DAME WOMEN’S SOCCER
#12 IRISH MAKE STATEMENT IN 3-0 WIN OVER #6 STANFORD
SOUTH BEND, Ind. – What a week for the No. 12 Notre Dame women’s soccer team. They returned to Alumni for the first time in several weeks, hosted two top-25 ranked teams and then stood on business. After dominating No. 25 Cal, 5-2, on Thursday, the Fighting Irish (10-1-3, 4-0-3) came out flying against No. 6 Stanford on Sunday, scoring three goals in the second half for the 3-0 shutout.
The Irish not only earned their highest-ranked victory on the season but also improved to 4-1 against ranked opposition.
Freshman Izzy Engle got the ACC goal monkey off her back with a tremendous afternoon. She was first responsible for drawing the penalty kick in the 50th minute, which led to Notre Dame’s first goal. Leah Klenke scored the PK. Then Engle scored off a cross from Morgan Roy in the 66th minute.
Just 2.5 minutes later, Ellie Hodsden put the exclamation mark on the game. Lily Joseph and Ellie Ospeck connected on a great passing combo on the left side, as the latter crossed into Hodsden who tucked it away from the six-yard box.
Speaking of great weeks, how about Hodsen, who should be up for ACC/National POTW honors. Hodsden recorded a hat trick in the victory over Cal, then picked up her fourth goal in two games this afternoon. Hodsden now has eight goals on the season – second most on the team behind Engle’s 11.
HOW IT HAPPENED
In the first half the Irish came out flying, applying immense pressure to the Cardinal. Notre Dame recorded four near chances – all of which could have been goals.
First, in the 26th minute, Engle hit a bending left-footed shot that looked like it was curving in perfectly. However, Stanford’s goalkeeper had other plans with a tremendous diving save to her right. Minutes later, Joseph shot a screamer that missed just inches to the right of the far post.
Near the end of the first half, Leah Klenke took a direct kick that led to a loose ball in the box but no goal. Then the last good chance came from the head of Chayse Ying who directed a corner kick into the crossbar.
Despite the 0-0 halftime score, you felt the momentum on Notre Dame’s side to start the second half. The break finally came in the 50th minute after Engle dribbled into the box and was taken out from behind. Doug & Lisa Jones Family Head Coach Nate Norman called on Leah Klenke’s number to score the game-winner and she delivered. It marked her first goal of the 2024 season and fifth of her career.
Next, Morgan Roy arguably had the best heads-up play of the game in the 66th minute. Coach Norman often speaks about applying pressure and chaos in the opposing team’s half of the field. Roy pushed up and caused a turnover from Stanford’s left defensive back. Roy then crossed to Engle who one-timed it in.
Roy, who had two assists against Cal, earned her third of the week today and fifth of the season.
Then it went all downhill for Stanford and all up for the Irish in the next couple of minutes. Stanford went down to 10 players after a red card, and then Hodsden supplied the finishing touches on the game with the third goal.
Ospeck and Joseph both registered assists on the play. Joseph recorded four points on the week and Ospeck had three. Both were tremendous contributors in ND’s best week of the season.
Freshman Sonoma Kasica started in net and improved to 6-1-2 on the year. She earned her sixth shutout. As a team, Notre Dame has recorded 10 shutouts in 14 games.
UP NEXT
You’d think the schedule would get easier after playing the No. 6 team in the country, but this is ACC women’s soccer. Up next, the Irish travel to No. 1 Duke on Thursday, Oct. 24. That match will kick off at 7 p.m. ET on ACCNX.

IU INDY WOMEN’S SOCCER
KUDLO MATCHES HER CAREER-HIGH WITH 12 SAVES AGAINST MILWAUKEE
INDIANAPOLIS – Senior goalkeeper Ashton Kudlo matched her career-high with 12 saves, but it wasn’t enough as the IU Indianapolis women’s soccer team fell to the league’s top team, Milwaukee, 2-0 at Carroll Stadium on Sunday (Oct. 20). Kudlo was brilliant, repeatedly stonewalling Milwaukee attacks behind a strong effort from defenders Sarah Henson, Katie Hoog and Kailyn Smith. However, the Panthers solved the Jaguars defense just before halftime and tacked on some insurance early in the second half.
“I liked (Kudlo)’s effort out there. I thought Katie and Smitty and Sarah in the back and Shannon (Ott) in the back in the first half for sure, all did a really great job,” head coach Chris Johnson said. “I thought Frey did a great job of keeping No. 13 on their team under control – kind of in front of her alot. It was a big task for some of them to go out and do and they delivered for a long time and kept us in the game for awhile.
“We had a couple looks at their goal during that time period and couldn’t put one away and they got (a goal) right before the end of the first half.”
Milwaukee’s Emily Petring tallied the game-winner in the 43rd minute, flaring a shot just over Kudlo from inside the top of the 18. In the 54th minute, Kayla Rollins capped a nifty combination with a sliding strike from the right side, just under the crossbar for her tenth score of the year.
Milwaukee (8-6-2, 7-0-1 HL) stepped on the gas from the opening kickoff, keeping possession deep in IU Indy territory for much of the half. Kudlo repeatedly answered the bell until Petring arched a shot just over her head for her second tally of the year. The Jaguars only two shot attempts of the opening half came off the foot of Maia Ransom, both from long distance. The first went harmlessly right on a transition attempt and the second was a rifle shot just wide of target in the 29th minute.
Kudlo also benefited from Rollins hitting the left post from point blank range in the 30th minute after getting open in deep.
Smith cleared a Milwaukee shot off the back line in the 47th minute to keep it a one-goal margin before Rollins doubled the lead off an assist from Molly O’Regan early in the second half.
The Jaguars had chances, largely from Keilah Muldrow, in the second half. IU Indy’s lone shot on target came from Muldrow on a redirect in the 80th minute that Milwaukee Parker Donahugh handled easily. Emily Keck polished off the final 13-plus minutes in goal for the Jaguars, also registering a save.
Milwaukee finished with a 30-6 shot advantage and 16-1 edge in shots on goal.
The Jaguars will close out the home slate on Saturday, Oct. 26 when they host Oakland University at 1:00 p.m. on ESPN+.
BALL STATE WOMEN’S GOLF
GREGSTON’S E (72) LEADS WOMEN’S GOLF ON DAY 1 OF DIAMANTE INTERCOLLEGIATE
HOT SPRINGS VILLAGE, Arkansas – – Led by an even-par 72 from sophomore JJ Gregston, the Ball State women’s golf team got off to a solid start Sunday at the Diamante Intercollegiate.
However, it was perhaps the final putt from junior Jasmine Driscoll that provided the day’s biggest moment and will look to set the tone for the Cardinals heading into Monday’s second round at the Diamante Country Club.
“We managed to post a solid team score today even though we didn’t have our best stuff,” head coach Cameron Andry said. “That’s what a mature team does and that’s what we are becoming which is very encouraging.”
Driscoll would exemplify that maturity on her final hole, landing her second shot on the green of the par-4, 361-yard ninth hole, only to see it stop about 45-feet out with a monster slope between her and the pin. That did not deter her from putting the perfect touch on the ball to have it ride the slope right into the bottom of the cup to end her day at +2 (74).
Those two efforts, combined with a +2 (74) from junior Sarah Gallagher and a +3 (75) from freshman Sophie Korthuijs, have the Cardinals tied for sixth among the 18-team field at +7 (295) after the first 18 holes.
“JJ played a very steady round and continues to show progress,” Andry said. “Jasmine, Sarah and Sophie all fought until the last putt was holed and got the most out of their rounds today. That’s all you can as for.”
Gregston, who is currently tied for 12th among the 98-golfer field, would card four of the Cardinals’ nine birdies on the day, including two of her first three holes. Korthuijs and Driscoll added two birdies each, while Gallagher echoed Driscoll and closed her day with a birdie.
Sunday’s round saw the Cardinals turn in their best effort on the courses’ four par-3 holes, playing them at a combined +3 (3.15) to tie for fourth among the field’s 18 teams.
Also competing for the Cardinals were sophomores Madelyn Young as an individual and sophomore Madelin Boyd. Young finished her round at +9 (81), while Boyd carded a +12 (84).
“Madelyn and Madelin neither had even close to their best today, but they both showed a lot of grit, and I know they will work to get ready for tomorrow,” Andry added. “Overall, we stayed within striking distance today. Tomorrow is moving day.”
The second round of the Diamante Invitational is set to begin at 9:30 a.m. ET / 8:30 p.m. CT Monday, with tee times announced later this evening.

EVANSVILLE WOMEN’S SOCCER
ACES WOMEN’S SOCCER EARNS A POINT AT INDIANA STATE
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The University of Evansville women’s soccer team ended the last road match of the season in a 2-2 draw with the Indiana State Sycamores.
The Purple Aces added another point as the 2024 season winds down at Memorial Stadium on Sunday afternoon. UE scored two goals in the first 30 minutes of the match as sophomore forward Taylor Johnson (Evansville, Ind. / Reitz HS) became Evansville’s goal-scoring leader with three. Graduate defender Rachel Rosborough (Mt. Brydges, Ontario) also added her first goal since 2021 in the tie.
The first half of the match was all Aces as they controlled the pace of play across the pitch. While the Sycamores had the first shots of the afternoon, UE scored on only the team’s second shot. In the 15th minute after an Evansville blocked shot, sophomore midfielder Ashlyn Koutsos (Cumming, Ga. / West Forsyth HS) corralled the rebound at the three and knocked it over to Johnson. Johnson quickly tapped the ball with her right foot to give the Aces an early lead.
UE’s second goal of the match came only 15 minutes later. Sophomore midfielder Ella Hamner (Evansville, Ind. / Memorial HS) had a shot blocked from the top of the penalty arc. The ball went out to the right side of the field by Rosborough who maneuvered her way around an Indiana State defender and split two other Sycamores to score her second career goal. For the final 15 minutes of the first half, Evansville kept the ball away from Indiana State allowing just one shot in the final seven minutes.
The momentum of the match switched in the second half as the Sycamores came out of halftime on the offensive. Indiana State had the first three shots in five minutes, but the Aces had the best chance in the 54th minute. Senior forward Hailey Autenrieb (Cincinnati / Seton HS) crossed to Hamner at the top of the offensive third and forced a diving save left from the Sycamores goalkeeper. UE’s next shot didn’t come until 17 minutes later as junior forward Crysta Vasquez (Las Vegas / Coronado HS) put a chance on goal at the middle of the net.
Only two minutes later Indiana State cut into Evansville’s lead with a goal in the 73rd minute. Spurred by the goal, the Sycamores’ offense pressured the Aces with five shots in under two minutes. UE countered with its final shot on goal in the 79th minute as Autenrieb had the ball at the eight, shooting toward the middle of the net.
Evansville kept the ball in the offensive zone for the next five minutes as Rosborough got a second opportunity in the 82nd minute. Her shot from out in the offensive third went high and to the right as the Aces shifted back to defense to try and win their first game since August. But Indiana State found the equalizer in the 87th minute as UE picked up its seventh tie of 2024.
Autenrieb, Hamner, and Rosborough all had two shots each to lead Evansville on offensive opportunities while five separate players registered a shot on goal. Fifth-year goalkeeper Myia Danke (Laingsburg, Mich. / Laingsburg HS) made six saves in the draw while the Aces also had a team save. UE will play its final game of the regular season on Sunday, October 27th against Southern Illinois at home. Kick-off from Arad McCutchan Stadium is set for 12 p.m. next week.
SOUTHERN INDIANA WOMEN’S SOCCER
BEA’S LATE EQUALIZER EARNS USI ROAD POINT AT SIUE
EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Soccer fought through adversity late in Sunday’s match at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville before scoring an equalizer with a couple of minutes remaining to earn a 1-1 draw and an Ohio Valley Conference point on the road.
Southern Indiana (4-8-5, 3-2-3 OVC) once again found itself in a competitive, defensive battle against SIUE (2-7-6, 1-3-4) on Sunday. The two sides had played to scoreless draws in the previous two meetings in the last two seasons.
USI had an early look at goal with a free kick in the sixth minute, but SIUE’s goalkeeper saved the ensuing kick by junior defender Brynn Quick. USI redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Anna Markland also collected a pair of saves in the first 20 minutes. However, SIUE scored in the 24th minute off a corner kick to take a 1-0 advantage. It was the first goal scored in the head-to-head series since 2007.
USI and SIUE exchanged possession down the stretch of the opening 45 minutes, but the score remained 1-0 SIUE into halftime.
In the second half, the Screaming Eagles continued to make trips into the attacking third, but optimal shot attempts toward goal came at a premium against a tough defensive unit from SIUE. USI’s defense was also strong, clearing multiple corner kicks and keeping the Cougars out of the net.
Southern Indiana ran into some adversity near the 73rd minute when a double-yellow red card dropped USI down to 10 players on the field. Despite trailing 1-0 and down a player in the contest, the Eagles continued to fight into the final minutes.
After thwarting a couple of SIUE attacks late, USI mustered a late push of its own. Seconds after a saved shot on goal by junior midfielder Peyton Murphy, Southern Indiana scored a short-handed equalizer to tie the match, 1-1, in the 88th minute. A long cross from near the sideline by junior midfielder Emerson Grafton was missed by SIUE’s defense and goalkeeper, allowing sophomore defender Kamryn Bea to step up and put away the loose ball for the game-tying goal and her first career goal. The assist by Grafton tied a team-best five helpers on the season.
The Eagles’ defense halted two more attacks from the Cougars in the final two minutes to close out the draw.
For the game, Southern Indiana totaled six shots with three on goal. Markland finished with six saves in net. SIUE took 16 shots and seven on target Sunday.
Following a pair of wins earlier this past week and Sunday’s tie, USI had already locked up its third consecutive berth in the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament. With one regular-season match to go and through Sunday’s results, USI sits fifth in the conference standings with 12 points. Southern Indiana could potentially finish as high as third.
The Screaming Eagles conclude the regular season at Strassweg Field next Sunday at 1 p.m. for Senior Day against Western Illinois University. Match coverage links can be found at usiscreamingeagles.com.

Freshmen trio Camryn Luthy, Zhana Navato and Jade Blakeley tied their matches after 18 holes to earn half-points for the Eagles.
Southern Indiana finished eighth in its last tournament at the Bradley University Coyote Creek Classic two weeks ago. Freshman Fernanda Vera led USI with a 239 (81-78-80) toward a top-25 finish.

VALPO WOMEN’S SOCCER
SOCCER DROPS ONE-GOAL DECISION AT MURRAY STATE
The Valpo soccer team jumped on top of host Murray State inside of two minutes Sunday afternoon, but the Racers came from behind with two second-half goals as the Beacons fell by a 2-1 final.
How It Happened
It took just 102 seconds of action for the Beacons to strike Sunday. Redshirt freshman Carly Stewart (Granite Bay, Calif./Granite Bay) fed senior Addy Joiner (Chesterton, Ind./Chesterton) on the left-hand side. Joiner ran past one defender, and one step inside the top of the box, let loose a right-footed shot along the ground in between a pair of backs that slid inside the near post to give Valpo the lead.
Freshman Hailey Wade (Fishers, Ind./Hamilton Southeastern) made five first-half saves, while a Beacon back cleared a ball off the line as well to keep Murray State off the board heading into halftime.
The Racers’ Sydney Etter found the back of the net five minutes into the second half to even the match.
Murray State’s Morgan Bodker scored in the 67th minute to close out the scoring.
Inside the Match
Joiner’s goal was the 24th of her collegiate career, one shy of April Cronin for third place in program history. She also moved into fourth place alone with 54 career points.
Joiner is one match played away from cracking the program’s top-10 for career appearances.
Stewart’s assist was her first collegiate point.
Murray State held a 24-8 advantage in shots and an 8-2 edge in corner kicks.
Wade ended the afternoon with eight saves in goal to limit the Racers to two goals.
Thoughts From Coach Marovich
“Our team battled today for sure, we competed. We started out well —we were very composed, we were really good in open pockets and we scored a very nice goal.”
“We withstood Murray State’s pressure and directness well in the first half. Unfortunately, in the second half, you have a crazy play, we get stuck in a bad spot and give away a tying goal. Then you give up a goal off a corner, and we end up chasing the game.”
“We’re going to keep doing the things we’re doing to progress as a group and get better. This team has made a lot of progress and we’re going to keep an eye on the positive things that they’re doing.”
Next Up
Valpo (4-11-1, 0-7-1 MVC) returns home for its final match of the season on Brown Field Thursday night at 7 p.m. against UIC.
UINDY MEN’S SOCCER
GREYHOUNDS BATTLE TO A DRAW ON THE ROAD AGAINST UMSL
INDIANAPOLIS – The UIndy men’s soccer team earned a 1-1 draw against Missouri-St. Louis away from home on Sunday.
This marks the first time since the 2020 season that the Greyhounds were unable to beat UMSL. The game was very chippy from the jump, as there were 27 combined fouls between both teams, and six total yellow cards, three for each team, to go along with all those fouls.
HOW IT HAPPENED
The first half was a slow moving first half with only seven total shots on goal between both teams, but the Hounds had the better of those chances.
Alvaro Sanchez’s shot inside the first four minutes forced a save from UMSL’s Austin Reid to keep the score all level at zero.
The next best chance for UIndy came in the 22nd minute when Lucas Bedleg found himself in a one-on-one situation against Reid, but found his shot wide of the mark after he attempted to beat Reid with a near post shot from the left side of the six yard box.
The Tritons best effort came in the 42nd minute on a direct free kick by Jon Campbell, which forced a comfortable save by Ionas Giovanidis to keep the score 0-0 headed to the half.
UMSL found the game’s breakthrough goal in the 52nd minute after Vincent Montoya committed a foul in the box, and Campbell’s penalty kick effort clipped the underside of the crossbar to give the Tritons a 1-0 lead.
August Abrahamsen almost responded to the Tritons goal in the 57th minute when his shot was saved by Reid to deny the Hounds, and keep the score 1-0 UMSL.
But the Hounds would not be denied for long after a handful of chances in the second half.
Jona Hogle’s high driven near post shot from outside the 18-yard box got UIndy level at 1-1 with USML with 19 minutes remaining. Hogle’s effort was the last real chance for either side, making the final score 1-1 for UIndy against UMSL.
INSIDE THE BOX
– Hogle scored his first goal of the season today for the Hounds.
– Nikolas Karnesis made his first career start today against UMSL.
– Kabiru Gafar picked up his second assist of the season on Hogle’s goal.
– Demetris Giannakopoulos recorded his second career assist today, his only other career assist coming on Oct. 27, 2023 against Quincy.

HOW IT HAPPENED
UMSL took the lead in the 14th minute when Jada Holloman netted her ninth goal of the season, assisted by Aubree Wallace and Kayley Judy. Holloman’s goal put her in a four-way tie for first in the GLVC in goals scored this season. Mia Winters looked to find the tying goal in the 38th minute with a shot on goal, but was denied by Mary Kate Neal.
The next best chance for the Greyhounds came late in the second half. Sarah Wegener sent a shot on frame at the 87:46 mark, but Neal made a crucial save to preserve the shutout for the Tritons. UIndy’s defense held strong after the early goal, limiting UMSL to just two shots on goal for the match.
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE

FOOTBALL HISTORY
Scrimmage Downs Established
October 21, 1882 – Major Rules revision occurred per historian Parke H. Davis in his book ‘Football: The American Intercollegiate Game”. The game was changed from the “Block Game” which since there was not a set number of downs and distance, teams like Princeton developed the style of play where they could snap the ball and gain no ground and keep the ball for an entire half of a game to keep an undefeated record. Walter Camp proposed that the offensive team be required to advance the ball at least five yards in three scrimmage downs and these down-and-distance rules, combined with the establishment of the line of scrimmage, transformed the game from a variation of rugby football into the very different and unique game of American football.
Dryer gets a deuce … twice
October 21, 1973 – Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum – Fred Dryer of the then Los Angeles Rams became the first player in NFL history to score two safeties in the same game. In an article on barstoolsports.com it is found that going into the 1973 Week 6 matchup with the Pack the LA Rams were 5-0, while the Packers were 2-1-2. By the fourth quarter, the Rams were comfortable, taking a 20-7 lead. As the game was winding down, Fred Dryer took down quarterback Scott Hunter in the end zone. On the next possession, Dryer sacked backup Jim Del Gaizo for another safety for a final score of 24-7. A few days later, Fred Dryer was named NFL Defensive Player of the Week.
Newsome Starts Streak
October 21, 1979 – Ozzie Newsome begins his NFL streak of 150 consecutive games with a reception. In a UPI article by Thomas M. Burnettrich dated October 29, 1989, about the game when the streak ended on October 29, 1989. The story goes that Newsome was injured after the first Cleveland offensive play in the second half and had not had a reception in the first half against the Oilers. Newsome, by his own choice, decided not to go back into the game to try and preserve the streak with a short reception. The Browns prevailed without their star receiver contributing on the stat line as they cruised to a 28-17 victory over the Houston Oilers.
Cox Boots a Franchise Record
October 21, 1984 – Riverfront Stadium, Cincinnati, Ohio – Cleveland Browns’ Steve Cox sets club record with a 60-yd field goal. The amazing thing was that Cox was the punter and kick off guy on the Brown’s roster that season, Matt Bahr was the field goal and extra point kicker. Bahr had booted a 50 yarder earlier in the first quarter, but with time waning in the 2nd stanza, the Brown’s faced a fourth down and were just out of the range of Bahr’s accuracy. Since Cox had a powerful kick off leg Cleveland decided to trot him out there for the attempt. The NFL rule for placing the ball at the spot it was kicked from after a missed field goal was not present in that era, so with 28 seconds left on the clock, the worst that would probably occur on a miss would be a touchback. Cox’s kick went through and knotted the game at the half 6-6. The Bengals however managed to come on in the second half and won the game 12-9.
Biggest NCAA Comeback Ever!
October 21, 2006 – Ryan Field, Evanston, Illinois – The Michigan State Spartans set an NCAA record when they staged a comeback victory after being down by 35 points. According to Enacademic.com the Spartans scored 38 unanswered points after trailing the Wildcats of Northwestern by the score of 38-3 at the 9:54 left in the 3rd quarter. Michigan State back-up quarterback Bryan Hoyer came off the bench to help his team escape with a 41-38 ‘W”.
Bironas Nails 8
October 21, 2007 – Reliant Stadium, Houston Texas – Tennessee Titans kicker Rob Bironas sets NFL record for most points scored in a game without a TD by a player, with 26. Everyone of Bironas’s 8 field goals were needed as the Titans defeated the Houston Texans by the close score of 38-36 win.
TODAY IN BASEBALL HISTORY
1957 With major league baseball coming to the Bay Area, the Giants buy the single-A minor league team in Arizona to move the San Francisco Seals to the nearby desert. The transplanted team name their new farm club, the Phoenix Giants.

Isn’t this great?” – PETE ROSE, sharing his enthusiasm with teammates, opponents, and umpires. In the bottom of the 12th inning of Game Six at Fenway Park, Red Sox’s backstop Carlton Fisk hits one of the most dramatic home runs in major league history, forcing a seventh game with the Reds. In 2002, this event, seen by 75.9 million viewers, will be chosen as one of baseball’s most memorable moments.
1976 At Yankee Stadium, the Reds beat New York, 7-2, to complete the World Series sweep over the Bronx Bombers for their second consecutive World Championship. Johnny Bench’s two-run and three-run home runs power the Big Red Machine to their fourth Fall Classic title in franchise history.
1980 In front of 65,838 fans at Veterans Stadium, the Phillies win their first World Series ever in the 98-year history of the franchise by defeating the Royals, 4-1, in Game 6. Winning pitcher Steve Carlton limits Kansas City to four hits in seven innings, and Tug McGraw hurls the last two frames to pick up the save.
1981 The Yankees trade their 1977 first-round (15th overall) pick Willie McGee to the Cardinals for southpaw Bob Sykes, who will never again appear in a major league game. New York’s former 22-year-old farmhand will go on to have a stellar career with the Redbirds, winning the NL MVP (1985), capturing two batting crowns (1985, 1990), and earning three Gold Gloves (1983, 1985, 1986).
1982 An estimated 150,000 people line Wisconsin Avenue on a chilly day in Milwaukee to cheer for their Brewers, who suffered a crushing defeat in Game 7 of the World Series last night. Following the parade, the fans show their support at County Stadium by chanting “M-V-P! M-V-P!” when shortstop Robin Yount appears in the left-field corner on his motorcycle, which he rides around the warning track, acknowledging the admiration.
1986 After losing the first two World Series games at home, the Mets beat the Red Sox at Fenway Park, 7-1. Lenny Dykstra’s first-inning home run off Oil Can Boyd marks the third time in history the Mets’ leadoff hitter has homered in the initial inning of Game 3 of the Fall Classic. Tommie Agee (1969) and Wayne Garrett (1973) also accomplished the feat in the first frame of Fall Classic’s third game.
1993 In Game 5, Curt Schilling becomes the first Phillies’ hurler to pitch a World Series shutout, blanking the Blue Jays at Veterans Stadium on five hits, 2-0. The game is the franchise’s 20th Fall Classic contest, having played for the world championship in 1915, 1950, 1980, and 1983.
1996 After being awarded one of the two expansion franchises for Triple-A by the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues, Durham (NC) officially becomes the home of the Devil Rays’ top farm club in 1998. Tampa Bay and Capitol Broadcasting Co., Inc. own the new North Carolina franchise, but the team will continue to be called the Bulls.
1998 In the bottom of the ninth inning at Qualcomm Stadium, Ruben Rivera, in his only major league appearance against cousin Mariano, legs out an infield single. The future Hall of Fame closer gets the next batter to ground into a double play, quickly erasing the hit before retiring Mark Sweeney for the final out of the contest, saving Game 4 to complete the Yankees’ World Series sweep of the Padres.
1998 After spending 135 days in first place and winning their division and league titles, the Yankees, with a 3-0 victory at Qualcomm Stadium, sweep the Padres to capture their 24th World Series championship. The Bronx Bombers’ 125 wins, combining regular season (114) and playoffs (11) victories, are the most by a championship team, surpassing the 116 established by the Mets in 1986.
2000 In the longest World Series game ever played, the Yankees take Game 1 of the Subway Series, thanks to Jose Vizcaino’s 12th inning two-out single, defeating the Mets, 4-3, in four hours and fifty-one minutes. The victory surpasses the streak established by the Murderers’ Row clubs, as the present Bronx Bombers win their 13th consecutive World Series game.
2002 Florida team president David Samson, to get fans “falling back in love with the Marlins,” announces plans that include free hot dogs and a cozier atmosphere at Pro Player Stadium. The average crowd of 10,038 per home game, more than a third less than the previous season, was next-to-last in the major leagues in attendance this year.
2004 At Busch Stadium, the Cardinals advance to the World Series for the first time in 17 years. The Redbirds capture the National League pennant, beating Roger Clemens and the Astros in Game 7 of an exciting NLCS, 5-2.
2005 On the eve of the World Series beginning in Chicago, Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) and Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) sponsor a resolution in the U.S. Senate calling for ‘Shoeless’ Joe Jackson to be “appropriately honored for his outstanding baseball accomplishments.” The former White Sox outfielder, considered one of the greatest players in the game’s history, was banned from baseball for life by commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis for his role in the 1919 ‘Black Sox’ Fall Classic fix.
2006 In the first matchup of rookies to start Game 1 of the World Series, Anthony Reyes bests Justin Verlander as the visiting Cardinals beat the Tigers at Comerica Park, 7-2. The 25-year-old right-hander allows two runs and four hits, striking out five Redbirds in eight innings.
2006 After being the site of Super Bowl XL at Ford Field in February, Detroit becomes just the second city to host both a Super Bowl and a World Series in the same calendar year. San Diego was the site of the NFL Championship game and Fall Classic in 1998.
2009 In Game 5 of the NLCS, the Phillies defeat the Dodgers, capturing their second straight pennant. With their 10-4 victory at Citizens Bank Park, Philadelphia becomes the first National League team to repeat the feat since the Braves won consecutive flags in 1995-96.
2009 Chase Utley ties a postseason record by reaching base in 25 consecutive contests after receiving a first-inning walk by L.A.’s starter Vicente Padilla in Game 5 of the NLCS. The slugging second baseman, who has reached base in every postseason game he has participated in except for his first in 2007, equals Boog Powell’s mark established from 1966-1971 playing for the Orioles.
2010 Pleased to stay in Detroit, Brandon Inge signs an $11.5 million, two-year deal to remain with the Tigers. The 33-year-old infielder, prone to striking out, is better known for his defensive prowess at third base than for his hitting.
2014 During Game 1 of the World Series, Laurence Leavy, known as the Marlin Man, is approached by a Royals representative, who informs him that the Kansas City owner is upset with his bright orange Miami jersey diverting attention from the home team on national television. After being offered various inducements, including autographed memorabilia and an opportunity to sit in the luxury boxes at Kauffman Stadium, the workers’ comp attorney refuses to remove his colorful garb, choosing to remain in his $8,000 seat behind home plate.
2015 In a series they never trailed, the Mets sweep the Cubs, 8-3, in Game 4 of the NLCS, capturing their fifth National League crown in franchise history. Daniel Murphy homered for a record sixth consecutive postseason game in the Wrigley Field contest, going deep off Fernando Rodney in the 8th inning, surpassing the mark set by Carlos Beltran with the Astros in 2004.
2018 David Bell, agreeing to a three-year deal with the last-place Reds, replaces Jim Riggleman to become the franchise’s 63rd skipper. The 46-year-old former infielder and his dad, Buddy, join Bob and Joel Skinner, George and Dick Sisler, and Bob and Aaron Boone as the fourth father-son managerial duo in major league history.
