NFL ROUNDUP: CHIEFS EDGE BENGALS ON LAST-SECOND FG
Harrison Butker converted a 51-yard field goal as time expired to lift the Kansas City Chiefs past the visiting Cincinnati Bengals 26-25 on Sunday.
Patrick Mahomes completed 18 of 25 passes for just 151 yards. He tossed two touchdowns, including a 44-yarder to Rashee Rice, but added two interceptions.
Isiah Pacheco rushed for a team-high 90 yards on 19 carries for the Chiefs (2-0), who outgained the Bengals 149-74 on the ground.
Joe Burrow was 23-of-36 for 258 yards and a pair of touchdown passes to Andrei Iosivas for the Bengals (0-2). The game was another installment of one of the NFL’s most riveting rivalries of the last four years. Burrow is 3-2 lifetime against Mahomes.
Saints 44, Cowboys 19
Alvin Kamara scored four touchdowns, including one of Derek Carr’s two scoring passes, and New Orleans routed Dallas to end the Cowboys’ 16-game home winning streak in the regular season.
Rashid Shaheed caught a 70-yard touchdown from Carr, who finished 11 of 16 for 243 yards with an interception to go along with his two scores. The Saints (2-0) scored touchdowns on their first six possessions to open a 41-19 lead late in the third quarter.
Dak Prescott passed for 293 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions to lead Dallas (1-1). CeeDee Lamb caught a 65-yard touchdown pass and Brandon Aubrey made all four of his field goal attempts.
Chargers 26, Panthers 3
Justin Herbert threw two touchdown passes to Quentin Johnston, J.K. Dobbins rushed for 131 yards and a touchdown and Los Angeles controlled most of the game in a victory against Carolina in Charlotte.
Herbert was just 14-for-20 for 130 yards with an interception, but the Chargers (2-0) didn’t need many flashy plays to pick up their first road win under new head coach Jim Harbaugh. Dobbins averaged 7.7 yards on his 17 carries and scored on a 43-yard run that made it 20-0 in the second quarter.
Panthers quarterback Bryce Young generated little offensively. He finished 18-for-26 for 84 yards and an interception. Chuba Hubbard picked up 64 yards on 10 carries. The Panthers (0-2), who lost 47-10 in Week 1 at New Orleans, had only two first downs and 54 yards of total offense by the break.
Raiders 26, Ravens 23
Davante Adams caught nine passes for 110 yards with a touchdown, Daniel Carlson made a 38-yard field goal with 27 seconds left and visiting Las Vegas rallied to beat Baltimore.
Carlson converted a 25-yard field goal before the Raiders (1-1) pulled even at 23 on Adams’ 1-yard touchdown catch from Gardner Minshew with 3:54 left to play. The Ravens’ next drive stalled, and a poor punt coupled with a penalty situated Las Vegas at the Baltimore 43-yard line with 2:21 to go. Minshew drove the Raiders 23 yards on six plays to set up Carlson’s go-ahead kick. Minshew was 30 of 38 for 276 yards with an interception.
Derrick Henry finished with 84 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries, and Lamar Jackson was 21 of 34 for 247 yards with a touchdown and an interception. The Ravens are 0-2 for the first time since 2015.
Packers 16, Colts 10
Malik Willis threw for a touchdown and host Green Bay benefited from a strong rushing attack to beat Indianapolis.
Josh Jacobs had 32 carries for 151 yards and Willis rushed for 41 for the Packers (1-1), who won their 12th straight home opener.
Anthony Richardson completed 17 of 34 passes for 204 yards with a touchdown and three interceptions. Jonathan Taylor, who played collegiately at Wisconsin, rushed for 103 yards on 12 carries and Alec Pierce reeled in a 4-yard touchdown grab for the Colts (0-2).
Buccaneers 20, Lions 16
Baker Mayfield went 12-of-19 passing for 185 yards and a touchdown and added a rushing score to lead visiting Tampa Bay past Detroit.
Chris Godwin caught seven passes for 117 yards and a touchdown for the Buccaneers (2-0), who lost to the Lions in last season’s NFC Divisional Playoff in Detroit. Tampa Bay won Sunday despite being outgained 463-216 in total yards.
Aidan Hutchinson had 4.5 sacks for the Lions (1-1), falling one sack short of the franchise record for sacks in a game. Jared Goff went 34-of-55 passing for 307 yards and two interceptions for Detroit.
Vikings 23, 49ers 17
Sam Darnold completed 17 of 26 passes for 268 yards, two touchdowns and one interception, and Minnesota held on to beat San Francisco in Minneapolis.
Justin Jefferson caught four passes for 133 yards, including a career-long 97-yard touchdown, to lead the Vikings (2-0). Jalen Nailor also had a touchdown reception.
Brock Purdy completed 28 of 36 passes for 319 yards, one touchdown and one interception for the 49ers (1-1). Jordan Mason rushed 20 times for 100 yards and a touchdown in his second game in place of injured starter Christian McCaffrey.
Seahawks 23, Patriots 20 (overtime)
Jason Myers nailed a 31-yard field goal with 4:37 remaining in overtime to lift Seattle over New England in Foxborough, Mass.
Myers also came through in the clutch in regulation, putting home a 38-yard field goal that tied the score at 20-all with 55 seconds left. Geno Smith completed 33 of 44 passes for 327 yards and a touchdown for the Seahawks (2-0). His favorite targets were Jaxon Smith-Njigba (12 catches, 117 yards) and DK Metcalf (10 catches, 129 yards, TD).
Running back Antonio Gibson went for 96 yards on the ground for the Patriots (1-1), who got 149 yards and a TD on 15-of-27 passing from Jacoby Brissett.
Jets 24, Titans 17
Braelon Allen scored two touchdowns, including the go-ahead score late in the fourth quarter, as visiting New York rallied in the second half to defeat Tennessee in Nashville, Tenn.
Aaron Rodgers shrugged off a slow start to complete 18 of 30 passes for 176 yards with two touchdowns for the Jets (1-1). Breece Hall added 62 yards on 14 rushes.
Will Levis finished 19-of-28 for 192 yards with a touchdown — a 40-yard strike to a diving Calvin Ridley with 3:22 left in the third quarter — and an interception. Ridley scored both Titans (0-2) touchdowns.
Browns 18, Jaguars 13
Deshaun Watson rushed for a touchdown and passed for 186 yards to help Cleveland notch a road victory over Jacksonville.
Dustin Hopkins kicked three field goals and Alex Wright registered a key safety for the Browns (1-1), who converted all three fourth-down opportunities on a muggy afternoon.
Travis Etienne Jr. rushed for a touchdown for the Jaguars (0-2). Trevor Lawrence was 14-of-30 passing for 220 yards for Jacksonville, which has dropped seven of its last eight regular-season contests.
Commanders 21, Giants 18
Austin Seibert kicked a team-record seven field goals, including the game-winner from 30 yards out as time expired, giving Washington the win over New York in Landover, Md.
Commanders rookie Jayden Daniels completed 23 of 29 passes for 226 yards and directed the game-winning drive, which covered 65 yards in the final 2:04. Brian Robinson added a career-high 133 yards on 17 carries as Washington (1-1) snapped an NFL-high nine-game losing streak that dated to last season.
Daniel Jones completed 16 of 28 passes for 178 yards and two touchdowns for the Giants (0-2). Rookie Malik Nabers had 10 receptions for 127 yards and a touchdown, but he dropped a pass on a fourth-down play with 2:04 left, which gave the Commanders their final possession.
Steelers 13, Broncos 6
Justin Fields passed for 117 yards and a score, Darnell Washington caught the game’s lone touchdown and visiting Pittsburgh beat Denver.
Chris Boswell kicked two more field goals for the Steelers (2-0), giving him eight in the first two games of the season. Rookie quarterback Bo Nix was 20-for-35 passing for 246 yards and two interceptions in his first home game for the Broncos (0-2).
There was little fanfare for the return of quarterback Russell Wilson to Denver, where he played for two mostly forgettable seasons before signing with the Steelers. Wilson was inactive for the second straight week with a calf injury.
Cardinals 41, Rams 10
Kyler Murray completed 17 of 21 passes for 266 yards and three touchdowns, including two to rookie wideout Marvin Harrison Jr., and Arizona cruised past Los Angeles in Glendale, Ariz.
Harrison finished with four catches for 130 yards for Arizona (1-1), which won its home opener. James Conner had 21 carries for 122 yards and a touchdown. The Cardinals outgained the Rams 489-245.
Matthew Stafford completed 19 of 27 passes for 216 yards for Los Angeles (0-2). Kyren Williams scored the Rams’ lone touchdown but was held to 25 yards on 12 carries. Rams wideout Cooper Kupp injured his left ankle in the second quarter and did not return.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL NEWS
TEXAS ON TOP! LONGHORNS TAKE OVER AT NO. 1 IN AP TOP 25 FOR FIRST TIME IN 16 YEARS, JUMPING GEORGIA
Texas is No. 1 in The Associated Press Top 25 college football poll for the first time in 16 years, replacing Georgia on Sunday after the Bulldogs struggled to remain unbeaten.
The Longhorns moved up a spot from No. 2 and received 35 first-place votes and 1,540 points. The Bulldogs, who have been No. 1 since the preseason poll, received 23 first-place votes and 1,518 points.
Ohio State received five first-place votes and stayed at No. 3 during an off week. No. 4 Alabama and No. 5 Mississippi held their places and Tennessee moved up a spot to No. 6, flip-flopping with Southeastern Conference rival Missouri.
The last time the Longhorns were No. 1 was the middle of the 2008 season, when they spent three weeks at the top of the polls before losing a memorable game at Texas Tech in early November. The Longhorns are likely to settle into the top spot for at least another week with a home game against Louisiana-Monroe up next, possibly with Arch Manning as the starting quarterback.
Manning, the nephew of Peyton and Eli Manning, stepped in Saturday night against UTSA when Quinn Ewers went out with an abdomen injury that coach Steve Sarkisian said was not serious.
“There’s nothing like being in the game. Playing in front of 105,000 people is not the easiest thing to do. I’m really proud of Arch,” Sarkisian said.
A week after the SEC became the first conference to hold six of the first seven spots, the league repeated the feat.
There was some shuffling at the back of the top 10, with No. 8 Oregon and No. 9 Miami each moving up a spot and Penn State slipping back to No. 10.
Poll points
Winning and dropping from No. 1 is not unusual. This is the 94th time it has happened since the poll started in 1936, and first time since Georgia and Alabama swapped No. 1 back and forth for a few weeks in 2022.
The Bulldogs needed a second-half rally to squeak by 13-12 at Kentucky — the same Kentucky team that was buried at home a week earlier by South Carolina. That was the fewest points scored by a No. 1 team in a victory since Alabama beat LSU 10-0 in 2016.
“I don’t know much about this team, but I found out more tonight than I’ve known to this point,” coach Kirby Smart told reporters after the game.
Georgia has dominated the top spot in the AP poll since 2021, with 39 appearances.
In its first season as a member of the SEC, Texas keeps No. 1 in the conference where it has resided for 50 of the last 52 polls, dating to the start of the 2021 season. Only Michigan of the Big Ten in the final two polls of last season has interrupted the streak of No. 1 rankings by the SEC, which includes 10 appearances by Alabama.
Looking ahead, both the Crimson Tide and Bulldogs are off next week to prepare for a likely top-five matchup in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, on Sept. 28 that should have voters thinking about who’s No. 1 again.
In and out
Boston College joined fellow Atlantic Coast Conference member Georgia Tech in the brief-stay-after-a-long-drought club. The Eagles lost at Missouri and fell out of the rankings after moving in last week for the first time since 2018.
Arizona is also out for the first time this season after getting thumped by Kansas State.
Moving in for the first time this season was Illinois at No. 24. Texas A&M jumped back into the rankings at No. 25.
Conference call
The 18-team Big Ten matched a conference record (reached 11 times previously) with seven ranked teams.
SEC — 9 (Nos. 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 15, 16, 25).
Big Ten — 7 (Nos. 3, 9, 10, 11, 18, 22, 24).
Big 12 — 4 (Nos. 12, 13, 14, 20).
ACC — 3 (Nos. 8, 19, 21).
MAC — 1 (No. 23).
Independent — 1 (No. 17).
Ranked vs. ranked
No. 24 Illinois at No. 22 Nebraska, Friday. The last time the Cornhuskers hosted a game with both teams ranked was 2013 when No. 16 UCLA beat No. 23 Nebraska 41-21.
No. 6 Tennessee at No. 15 Oklahoma, Saturday. The Volunteers welcome the Sooners to the SEC.
No. 11 USC at No. 18 Michigan, Saturday. The Trojans’ first Big Ten game is exactly what the executives at Fox hoped for.
No. 12 Utah at No. 14 Oklahoma State, Saturday. The first big game between Big 12 teams that actually counts in the conference standings.
MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL
MLB ROUNDUP: D-BACKS WIN WILD 10-INNING AFFAIR WITH BREWERS
Eugenio Suarez smacked a bases-loaded single off the right field wall as the final hero as the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Milwaukee Brewers 11-10 in 10 innings in a wild back-and-forth thriller Sunday in the finale of a three-game series in Phoenix.
Milwaukee went ahead 10-8 on a two-run triple by Jackson Chourio in the top of the 10th before Arizona scored three runs off Jared Koenig in the bottom of the inning. Adrian Del Castillo opened it with an RBI single and Koenig loaded the bases with nobody out before hitting Christian Walker with a pitch to tie the score at 10. Suarez followed with the decisive hit.
Chourio also homered and was 3-for-6 with a career-high five RBIs for Milwaukee. Eric Haase had a two-run homer for the Brewers, who scored eight straight runs after falling behind 5-0.
Suarez had three RBIs and Pavin Smith added a three-run double for the Diamondbacks.
Tigers 4, Orioles 2
Riley Greene blasted a pair of home runs and drove in three runs as host Detroit defeated Baltimore.
Detroit starter Keider Montero (6-6) allowed five hits in five scoreless innings, one start after tossing a shutout against Colorado. Jason Foley recorded his 23rd save. Colt Keith added an RBI single for the Tigers, who have won six of their last eight.
Adley Rutschman hit a two-run homer for the Orioles. Starter Cade Povich (2-9) gave up two runs and two hits in five innings. He walked two and struck out eight.
Padres 4, Giants 3 (10 innings)
David Peralta singled in a run and scored the eventual game-winner in a two-run 10th inning and as San Diego rode its pitching to complete a three-game sweep of host San Francisco.
The Padres (85-65) remain atop the National League wild-card race with just two weeks remaining in the regular season. After the Giants (72-78) had tied the score in the ninth on a leadoff home run by Heliot Ramos, Peralta led off the 10th with a single to left off former San Francisco closer Camilo Doval (5-3) to drive in automatic runner Jake Cronenworth, then scored on Donovan Solano’s RBI groundout.
Adrian Morejon retired all three men he faced in the last of the 10th, allowing a sacrifice fly to Michael Conforto along the way, to record his second save. Despite blowing his save opportunity, the win was credited to Robert Suarez (9-3), who served up Ramos’ 21st homer.
Yankees 5, Red Sox 2
Aaron Judge clubbed his major-league-leading 53rd home run of the season as host New York beat Boston in the finale of a four-game set.
Judge’s two-run blast came during a three-run third for New York (87-63), which took three games in the series. Gleyber Torres opened the frame with a solo shot before Juan Soto singled and Judge cleared the center field wall (445 feet) to put the Yankees up 4-0.
Kutter Crawford (8-15) got the start for Boston and gave up four runs and six hits in 4 1/3 innings. He walked two and fanned seven. Connor Wong went 3-for-4 with two doubles as Boston fell for the fourth time in six games.
Phillies 2, Mets 1
J.T. Realmuto delivered a walk-off single with two outs in the ninth inning, guiding host Philadelphia to a low-scoring win over New York.
Realmuto’s heroics capped off an entertaining pitchers’ duel between Cristopher Sanchez and David Peterson. Sanchez only gave up an eighth-inning homer to Tyrone Taylor, while Peterson put up zeros until Buddy Kennedy’s RBI double in the bottom of the eighth.
Philadelphia (90-59) moved a season-high 31 games over .500 and built its National League East lead to nine games over New York (81-68). The Phillies took two of three in the series and have won 11 of their last 14 games.
Blue Jays 3, Cardinals 2
Nathan Lukes hit a go-ahead RBI double in the eighth inning and Toronto completed a three-game sweep of visiting St. Louis.
Davis Schneider blasted a two-run home run among his two hits for the Blue Jays (72-78). Lars Nootbaar hit a solo homer for the Cardinals (74-75) to tie the game in the seventh.
Toronto right-hander Yariel Rodriguez allowed one run, three hits and one walk with two strikeouts in 4 1/3 innings. Cardinals right-hander Miles Mikolas allowed two runs and three hits with four strikeouts in five innings. Neither starter factored into the decision.
Guardians 2, Rays 0
Ben Lively pitched five strong innings and four relievers didn’t yield a baserunner as host Cleveland beat Tampa Bay Rays to split their four-game set.
Lively (12-9) showed no ill effects of taking a liner off the thigh against the Chicago White Sox earlier this week, allowing four hits — all singles — and one walk. Jose Ramirez notched two hits and Brayan Rocchio had an RBI single for the American League Central-leading Guardians (86-64).
Lowe had two hits for the Rays (73-77), who totaled one run in the last two games after scoring a combined eight to win the first two contests of the series.
Pirates 4, Royals 3
Isiah Kiner-Falefa finished 3-for-5 with two runs and an RBI, helping lead Pittsburgh past visiting Kansas City.
Pirates starter Jared Jones went four innings, allowing two earned runs on six hits while striking out five and walking three. The Pittsburgh bullpen allowed just two hits over five scoreless innings as the Pirates (71-78) snapped a two-game skid.
Brady Singer (9-11) pitched five innings of four-run, six-hit ball, striking out six and walking four for Kansas City. Maikel Garcia went 2-for-4 with an RBI and Michael Massey also had two hits, as the Royals (82-68) had their two-game winning streak snapped.
Nationals 4, Marlins 3
Rookie James Wood hit two solo home runs to lead host Washington past Miami for its third straight win.
It was the first multi-homer game of Wood’s career as Washington rallied to capture the four-game series. The Nationals also won the season series from Miami 11-2.
Jonah Bride homered and had two hits and two runs for Miami, which lost for the sixth time in its past seven games. Adam Oller (1-4) suffered the loss, allowing three runs on six hits over five innings. He walked two and struck out two.
White Sox 4, Athletics 3
Gavin Sheets and Bryan Ramos each homered and Sean Burke pitched five innings for his first major league victory as Chicago earned its first series win since the last weekend of June, beating visiting Oakland.
The White Sox have won consecutive games for the first time since winning three straight on June 27-29.
Pinch hitter Shea Langeliers hit a solo homer with two outs before Fraser Ellard retired Nick Allen on a fly ball for his first career save. Brent Rooker also homered for the Athletics, who lost for the third time in their past four games.
Cubs 6, Rockies 2
Michael Busch notched his first career multi-home run game, fellow rookie Pete Crow-Armstrong also went deep and Chicago beat Colorado in Denver.
Busch finished with three hits and three RBIs, while both Nico Hoerner and Ian Happ had two hits for the Cubs.
Jacob Stallings homered for the Rockies, who managed just four hits on the day. Colorado had its three-game winning streak snapped.
Mariners 7, Rangers 0
George Kirby allowed just one hit over seven scoreless innings as Seattle defeated visiting Texas.
Mitch Garver and Randy Arozarena homered for the Mariners, who won their third consecutive game — all while wearing their City Connect uniforms. The M’s are 15-1 when donning their rush blue jerseys and black pants this season.
Rangers lefty Andrew Heaney (5-14) gave up three runs on seven hits in five innings, with one walk and three strikeouts. Texas lost for the fifth time in its past six games.
Astros 6, Angels 4
Jason Heyward went 3-for-3 with a home run and two RBIs to help Houston sweep Los Angeles with a win in Anaheim, Calif.
Houston starting pitcher Ronel Blanco (11-6) held Los Angeles scoreless on four hits and struck out five over six innings. The Astros have won four straight, while the Angels dropped their fifth in a row.
Los Angeles trailed 6-0 in the eighth before Taylor Ward got the Angels on the board with a solo home run in the bottom of the frame, mashing his 24th home run of the season 420 feet off Kaleb Ort to the center field seats.
Twins 9, Reds 2
Rookie Brooks Lee went 2-for-4 with a triple and a career-high five RBIs, and Minnesota pulled away to beat visiting Cincinnati.
Carlos Santana finished 3-for-4 with a two-run homer and three runs for Minnesota (79-70), which avoided a three-game sweep. Ryan Jeffers went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI.
Spencer Steer hit an RBI triple for Cincinnati (73-78). Ty France hit a sacrifice fly to account for the Reds’ other run.
Dodgers 9, Braves 2
Mookie Betts drove in the go-ahead run with a single to ignite a seven-run top of the ninth that also featured three consecutive homers as Los Angeles rallied to defeat host Atlanta.
Atlanta (81-68) remained tied with the New York Mets for the final wild-card spot in the National League. Los Angeles (88-61) improved to 4-2 against the Braves this season.
The ninth-inning uprising started against Atlanta closer Raisel Iglesias (5-2), who had not allowed an earned run over his previous 30 appearances.

PATTON KIZZIRE WINS PROCORE FOR FIRST VICTORY IN SIX YEARS
Patton Kizzire had his most uneven round of the tournament Sunday, but it ended up being more than enough for him to secure his first PGA victory of the season at the Procore Championship in Napa, Calif.
Entering the day with a four-stroke advantage, Kizzire made that lead stick by shooting a 2-under-par 70 to finish the tournament 20-under 268, five strokes ahead of his nearest pursuer.
Kizzire, who had last taken home a tournament victory at the 2018 Sony Open in Hawaii, fired an eagle on the par-5 No. 5, increasing his edge. Bogeys on Nos. 9 and 11 might have opened the door, but Kizzire recovered to score birdies on Nos. 12, 13 and 15 to effectively shut the door.
Sunday’s victory represented a remarkable turnaround for the 38-year-old, who at one point earlier this season missed the cut in six straight events. It also boosted Kizzire’s “FedEx Cup Fall” standings position from No. 132 all the way up to a projected No. 70, a rise of 60 spots and a position that secures him full status for the 2025 PGA Tour season as part of a two-year exemption.
He also earned slightly more than $1 million for the victory.
David Lipsky provided his biggest competition on Sunday, shooting a 1-under 71 to finish in second place with a 15-under 273.
Patrick Fishburn (71) was third at 14 under.
Three golfers finished tied for fourth at 13 under: Greyson Sigg (72) and Canadians Ben Silverman (71) and Mackenzie Hughes (72).

AFTER 4-HOLE PLAYOFF, STEVE STRICKER 3-PEATS AT SANFORD INTERNATIONAL
Steve Stricker hadn’t won a tournament all year, but there was no place like the Sanford International for him to fix that.
Stricker defeated Australian Richard Green on their fourth playoff hole to win the Sanford for the third year running Sunday in Sioux Falls, S.D.
Stricker became the first player to pull off a three-peat at an event on the PGA Tour and one on the PGA Tour Champions, according to the tour. Stricker won the 2009, 2010 and 2011 John Deere Classic.
But Minnehaha Country Club has been especially good to Stricker, who has now won there four times in seven seasons. He captured the 2018 Sanford International during his first full year on the 50-and-older circuit.
Stricker, 57, took home six trophies in 2023 but hadn’t broken through in 2024 until Sunday. It marked the first time he won an event since his father passed in January.
“I was trying to win one so bad,” Stricker said through tears during his Golf Channel interview. “He was the guy who showed me the game, and I owe him everything, really. We miss him a lot.
“I was putting some extra pressure on myself to try to win one and just dedicate a win to him and finally did … This one’s for my dad.”
Stricker shot a 3-under-par 67 Sunday to finish 72 holes in 8-under 202. But he bogeyed his final hole, opening the door for Green to force a playoff by birdieing the last.
Green did just that, making a mid-length uphill putt at the par-4 18th to polish off his round of 1-under 69.
They replayed No. 18 again and again until Stricker finally one-upped Green. Hitting his second shot out of the rough, Stricker put it on the perfect line and watched his ball speed toward the cup and hit the flagstick. That left him just a few feet to clean up for birdie, and Green could not match it.
Germany’s Bernhard Langer and South Africa’s Ernie Els each shot 67 Sunday and tied for third at 7 under, one back of Stricker and Green. Steven Alker of New Zealand (67) and Michael Wright of Australia (72) tied for fifth at 6 under.

JON RAHM SWEEPS TOURNAMENT, SEASON-LONG POINTS TITLES IN CHICAGO
Jon Rahm captured two titles on Sunday, winning the 2024 LIV Golf League individual championship with his victory at LIV Golf Chicago at Bolingbrook (Ill.) Golf Club.
The Spaniard, in his first year on the tour after leaving the PGA Tour in December, collected his second tournament victory this season with a bogey-free, 4-under 66 in the third round for 11-under 199. He earned $4 million and collected the $18 million prize for the season points crown.
He won by three strokes over his main competition for the season-long title, Chile’s Joaquin Niemann (bogey-free 66 on Sunday), and fellow Spaniard Sergio Garcia (bogey-free 68).
“Today was a special day in many ways,” Rahm said. “I woke up really nervous today, as I thought I would, and even warming up, I told Adam (Hayes, his caddie), man, I’m nervous. But then I started thinking, playing with Sergio and Brooks (Koepka), last time both me and Sergio played good, it was a good Sunday in Valderrama; Sergio ended up winning. Last time I went up against Brooks, he ended up beating me. I wanted to, hopefully, do a really good showing this time and maybe get it over the line.”
Rahm entered the tournament leading Niemann by 2.97 points in the season standings.
He had a one-shot lead starting the day and birdied Nos. 3, 6, 10 and 17.
Garcia, who was in second going into the final round, birdied the sixth and 14th holes but couldn’t keep pace.
Niemann, tied for fourth and three shots off the pace after two rounds, started strong with birdies on the par-4 first hole and par-5 third but couldn’t gain ground with only birdies at Nos. 11 and 15.
“It wasn’t very difficult to keep an eye up because (Niemann) was right up there on the leaderboard,” Rahm said. “I said yesterday in my presser, I like to know where I stand. I wasn’t always looking directly, but anytime I saw the leaderboard, it was very noticeable that his name was there, amongst many others because Tyrrell (Hatton) started great, Sergio was also on my heels. I’m glad that once I took that two-shot lead on 3, it never got any closer than that.”
England’s Hatton was alone in fourth place at 7 under following a round of six birdies and a bogey at No. 16 for a 65.
Crushers led the team competition by four shots after Friday and were tied with Cleeks at 10 under through two rounds. Crushers emerged at 14 under for a one-shot victory over Legion XIII and team captain Rahm.
India’s Anirban Lahiri carded a 67 on Sunday, while team captain Bryson DeChambeau shot 68, Great Britain’s Paul Casey 70 and Charles Howell III 71.
“I couldn’t be more proud of Paul, Ban and Charles for sticking through it,” DeChambeau said. “When Charles was not here for quite a while (leg injury), it was tough for us, but John (Catlin) filled in nicely, and once we had ol’ Chucky back here, he delivered for us today. He didn’t do his best here, but we’re all a team here, and that’s why we play LIV Golf.”
Legion XIII with Rahm, Hatton, Kieran Vincent and Caleb Surratt, was at 13 under. Fireballs was third at 12 under, with Cleeks falling to seventh at 8 under.
The tour’s team championship is Sept. 20-22 at Maridoe Golf Club near Dallas in Carrollton, Texas.

AUTO RACING
ALEX PALOU CAPTURES THIRD INDYCAR SERIES TITLE
Alex Palou of Spain captured his third IndyCar Series championship after finishing 11th on Sunday in the Big Machine Music City Grand Prix in Nashville, Tenn.
Colton Herta won Sunday’s race after he passed Mexico’s Pato O’Ward on Lap 202 with four laps left to capture his first victory on an oval track. Josef Newgarden, the two-time Indy 500 champion, finished third, Kyle Kirkwood was fourth and New Zealand’s Scott McLaughlin rounded out the top five.
Palou all but sealed the title just 13 laps into the race because his closest competitor, Will Power of Australia, had trouble early in the race with a disconnected seat belt and finished 24th.
Palou, who also secured the title in 2021 and 2023, is the 13th driver to win at least three IndyCar championships and the seventh to do so in a four-year span. The last driver to reel off three championships in four years was Dario Franchitti, who won three in a row from 2009 to 2011.
At 27 years, 5 months, 14 days, Palou became the second-youngest driver to win three IndyCar titles, trailing only Sam Hornish Jr., who won his third title in 2006 at 27 years, 2 months, 8 days.
Herta, who won his second race this season and eighth in his career, finished second in the season-ending IndyCar standings. McLaughlin took third, Power fell to fourth and O’Ward was fifth.

CHRIS BUESCHER PREVAILS IN OVERTIME AT WATKINS GLEN
Chris Buescher made a dramatic last-lap pass of road-course ace Shane van Gisbergen at Watkins Glen International Sunday afternoon, winning the NASCAR Cup Series’ Go Bowling at the Glen in overtime in Watkins Glen, N.Y.
In the second race of the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs and one of two postseason road configurations, Buescher’s No. 17 RFK Ford led as the race went to extra laps, but van Gisbergen nudged by in Turn 1.
However, Buescher rallied, slid underneath the New Zealand SuperCars champ and won for the first time in 2024 by 0.979 seconds.
Carson Hocevar, Ross Chastain and Zane Smith completed the top five.
Competing in NASCAR for the first time since 2014, two-time Cup race winner Juan Pablo Montoya finished 32nd.
In all, 11 of the 16 playoff drivers had some difficulties in the 90-lap race.
Shortly after polesitter Chastain led them to green, an eight-car melee ensued halfway through the first lap when Corey LaJoie turned Kyle Busch’s No. 8 and put him sideways in traffic. Denny Hamlin tagged Busch’s Chevrolet, and Ryan Blaney’s No. 12 Ford hit the cars driven by Brad Keselowski and John Hunter Nemechek.
Hamlin and Blaney (broken steering column) received the most damage, with the reigning Cup champion’s car being towed back to the garage and retired. Blaney finished last.
Most of the field pitted as the 20-lap Stage 1 neared its end, and Martin Truex Jr. took the top spot and gained all 10 bonus points. Alex Bowman and Chase Briscoe followed, respectively.
Chastain led again when it went back to green, but van Gisbergen’s No. 16 Kaulig Racing Chevrolet hounded the No. 1 in the segment. At the end, playoff contender Daniel Suarez, Chastain’s teammate, looped his No. 99 in Turn 6 and got stuck in the gravel with three laps left.
The day worsened for Hamlin on Lap 47 when the Joe Gibbs Racing driver went three-wide with Keselowski and Kyle Larson. Hamlin’s Toyota smacked the guardrail hard and created the fourth caution.
Debris sprayed from Harrison Burton’s blown tire with 10 laps to go, and the final caution flew when Keselowski and William Byron crashed hard with seven to go.

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS FOOTBALL
COLTS FALL TO 0-2 WITH LOSS TO GREEN BAY PACKERS
GREEN BAY, Wisc. – The Colts were able to withstand an early ground onslaught but were unable to mount enough offensive momentum on Sunday, losing 16-10 to the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field.
The Colts went into halftime down just 10-0 despite a first half in which Green Bay – which was without starting quarterback Jordan Love due to a knee injury – held a significant advantage in total yards (262-80) and time of possession (23:05 to 6:55). Running back Josh Jacobs accounted for most of that damage, with the veteran running back churning out 128 yards on 20 carries (6.4 yards/attempt) in the first half.
The Packers had over 100 rushing yards a little over nine minutes into the first quarter, and in the first 15 minutes Green Bay rushed for 164 yards on 20 carries. Those 164 rushing yards were the most any team has had in the first quarter of a game since the Denver Broncos had 167 rushing yards in the first quarter of a game in 2011.
Green Bay was consistently able to stay ahead of the chains on first down with their first-half run game. The Packers totaled 16 carries for 137 yards on first down in the first half, with Jacobs carrying 10 times for 72 yards on those plays. Wide receiver Jayden Reed gained 37 yards on two first down rushes as well.
The biggest play of the first half for the Colts came when linebacker Zaire Franklin knocked the ball out of Jacobs’ hands just before the goal line, with defensive end Laiatu Latu recovering the fumble in the end zone. The forced fumble and recovery kept Green Bay’s lead from ballooning to three scores in the first half.
Richardson was intercepted to end the Colts’ lone drive into Packers territory in the first 30 minutes, and wide receiver Adonai Mitchell had a drive-ending drop on a third down throw from Richardson just after the two-minute warning.
The Packers and Colts traded field goals in the third quarter.
Running back Jonathan Taylor looked to give the Colts a spark in the third quarter with three runs of 10-plus yards, including a 29-yard dash that sent the Colts in Packers territory. Kicker Matt Gay, though, missed a 50-yard field goal that would’ve made things a one-score game early in the fourth quarter.
An 39-yard third down completion from quarterback Malik Willis to wide receiver Romeo Doubs sparked the Packers – who struggled to move the ball early in the second half – into a field goal that pushed the score to 16-3 with just under 11 minutes left.
Richardson was picked off by linebacker Eric Wilson on the ensuing possession.
An 11-yard fourth-down scramble by Richardson set up a four-yard touchdown throw to wide receiver Alec Pierce, cutting things to 16-10 with 1:47 left.
Green Bay recovered the ensuing onside kick, and the Colts’ defense got the stop they needed to get the ball back to the offense. Richardson got the Colts into position for a Hail Mary, but it was picked off just shy of the goal line to end the game.
Defensive tackle DeForest Buckner sustained an ankle injury late in the third quarter and did not return. Defensive end Laiatu Latu also sustained a hip injury in the second half and did not return.

INDIANA FEVER
FEVER GUARD TANDEM LEADS INDIANA PAST DALLAS IN STUNNING DISPLAY OF OFFENSE
By Madie Chandler | FeverBasketball.com
Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell saved the best for last in Gainbridge Fieldhouse as they combined for 75 of Indiana’s 110 points in the Fever’s home finale on Sunday.
A pair of 30-point scoring outings from the guard tandem had Fever fans erupting in downtown Indianapolis as Indiana shot its way to a 110-109 win over the Dallas Wings. The Fever drained 16 3-point shots in the matchup, the most they’ve made in a game this season. Clark and Mitchell made six each.
“When both of us are on from the one and two positions, that just puts the defense in a really tough spot,” Clark said. “We just really read and understand each other a lot better from where we were at the beginning of the season…The amount of backdoor cuts that girl has got, just because we make eye contact and she knows to go back doors, it’s incredible.”
Sunday’s win marks the 20th tally in the W column for Indiana, and secures a .500 record for the Fever for the first time since 2016, just two years before Mitchell was drafted. As a seven-year veteran, Mitchell will enjoy her first .500 season in Indiana as part of a transcendent group in WNBA history.
“I think that the process is something that you take for granted,” Mitchell said after the game. “You’ll never understand it until you’re in it. And I think the process for me was having to see what that was. And now, on the flip side of things, I get to deal with a special group. And so I’m very grateful to be able to do it with such a young and vibrant group. And I think that for us, the sky’s the limit, because no one thought we’d be here.”
The Indiana Fever’s home finale was yet another sellout, a fitting end to a historic regular season for the franchise. After Sunday’s game, Indiana’s recorded attendance for home and road contests exceeded 620,000 fans – a new WNBA single-season record.
“It’s just incredible where we are right now, where the league is with the fan support,” coach Christie Sides said. “And it does make a huge difference to have the fans, both home and away. You hear them on the road as well for us and they’re that extra push sometimes.”
Indiana needed that push on Sunday as they entered the locker room at the halftime break down two points to the Wings – the WNBA’s 11th ranked team. Dallas, already eliminated from playoff contention, hit Indiana’s defense with an eye-opening 34 first quarter points – the Wings’ best first quarter total all season.
The result was an offensive explosion from both Clark and Mitchell, with Clark setting a new career high as she coasted past the WNBA single-season rookie scoring record.
The announcement that informed Fever fans of Clark’s scoring record earned a standing ovation from Gainbridge Fieldhouse, and fans from the floor to the rafters belted out their appreciation for the Iowa product’s on-court production. Her 35 points surpassed her previous WNBA career high of 31 that she set in Chicago on August 30th.
Indiana’s offense ranks third in the league, trailing only New York and Las Vegas in offensive efficiency. The Fever have defeated every other WNBA team this season except for the Las Vegas Aces. Entering the WNBA Playoffs, they’ll have confidence in their ability to dismantle their opponents.
“We’re not just happy to be there,” Clark said. “We really feel, like we believe, we can compete with every single team that’s going to be in the playoffs…We have confidence in the fact that whoever our first round matchup is, we have beat that team before. That doesn’t mean they’re not really, really talented and really, really skilled, but that does give you a little bit of confidence going into those games.”
Confidence remains a key part of Indiana’s game plan as a historic regular season run comes to a close in Washington D.C. on Thursday. The Mystics, who are fighting for the eighth and final playoff spot, will be a worthy competitor for the Fever as they look to remain in good form before postseason basketball commences.
“We still expect to win that too,” Clark said of the final regular season game of her rookie year. “And we know that Washington is going to be fighting for that last playoff spot…Our goal has been one at a time. I thought we’ve done a really good job with that.”
The Fever will attack the final hurdle of a whirlwind season poised to continue their race into playoff basketball the following week. As a record-breaking season comes to a close on the road, the WNBA Playoffs lurk just around the corner.
INDIANAPOLIS INDIANS
INDIANS DROP HOME FINALE FOLLOWING THREE-RUN COMEBACK, 6-3
INDIANAPOLIS – The Indianapolis Indians mounted a three-run comeback to tie the game in the bottom of the ninth inning but fell to the Rochester Red Wings, 6-3, in 10 innings on Sunday afternoon at Victory Field. Indy finished the 2024 season with a 44-30 record at the Vic for its best home record since going 44-27 in 2017.
Trailing 3-0 entering their final offensive half inning, the Indians (40-28, 73-68) used a pair of RBI doubles by Jack Suwinski and Jake Lamb – the latter coming with two outs – to tie the game. The Red Wings bounced back with a three-spot in the 10th inning on an RBI single by Trey Lipscomb, double by Joey Meneses and run-scoring error to score the game-winning runs.
Rochester (36-33, 74-68) jumped out to a 3-0 lead with an RBI single by Jake Alu in the fourth and a two-run knock by Trey Lipscomb in the fifth. Relievers Michael Plassmeyer, Josh Walker and Aaron Shortridge (L, 2-4) then held the Red Wings without a hit until the 10th frame.
Jackson Rutledge tossed 7.0 shutout innings with eight strikeouts for Rochester to start. As the second arm out of the bullpen, Jordan Weems (W, 2-0) blew the three-run lead in the ninth. Tim Cate (S, 3) then shut down the Indians offense in the bottom of the 10th.
Jake Lamb went 2-for-4 with two doubles and an RBI to lead the Indians offense.
The Indians travel to St. Paul to begin their final six-game series of the season on Tuesday at 7:37 PM ET. RHP Caleb Boushley (9-5, 4.98) will take the mound for the Saints while the Indians have yet to name a starter.

NOTRE DAME, Ind. – The Notre Dame men’s tennis team completed the first weekend of competition in Louisville today highlighted by an unblemished doubles record.

SOUTHERN INDIANA WOMEN’S SOCCER
OHLWEIN SCORES TWICE, USI EARNS FIRST WIN OF SEASON
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Soccer earned its first victory of the season Sunday afternoon at Strassweg Field, winning 2-1 with a second-half comeback against Bellarmine University.
Southern Indiana (1-6-2) and Bellarmine (1-5-1) renewed their old rivalry from when the two schools were at the D-II level in the Great Lakes Valley Conference. Sunday’s match was the first meeting of the D-I era for both schools, as the two sides have not faced off since 2019.
In the early minutes of Sunday, it looked like USI would strike first. Just over five minutes into the contest, the Screaming Eagles were inside the Knights’ six-yard box, merely feet away from the goal. However, the ball bounced off a swarm of players from both sides and was eventually blocked away.
Following a stretch of exchanged opportunities, Bellarmine scored the game’s first tally to take a 1-0 lead at 23:22 of the opening half. USI looked to answer near the 30-minute mark when sophomore midfielder Pilar Torres fired a shot that was saved by the Knights’ goalkeeper.
USI senior goalkeeper Zoe Lintner, who made her first start of the season on Sunday, came through with a pair of big saves in the latter stages of the first half to keep the match a one-goal difference heading into halftime.
The Eagles came out of the break on the offensive with pressure and making the most out of their first two shot attempts of the second half.
Southern Indiana equalized the contest, 1-1, in the 57th minute. Junior midfielder Emerson Grafton crossed a ball to freshman midfielder Josie Pochocki who flicked it toward sophomore midfielder Greta Ohlwein at the back post. Ohlwein one-timed it into the top side of the netting for her first goal this season.
Nearly two minutes later, Ohlwein received a pass from junior midfielder Peyton Murphy and beat Bellarmine’s goalkeeper one-on-one, burying her second goal of the game and giving USI a 2-1 advantage. The two-goal game by Ohlwein was USI’s first multi-goal performance since August 2022.
From there, the Screaming Eagles played from in front with energy and confidence, as Bellarmine’s frustrations mounted. The USI defense finished the job, holding the Knights to three shots in the final 30 minutes with Lintner snagging another save in the process to preserve Southern Indiana’s 2-1 victory.
Shot totals were fairly even in the match. Southern Indiana took nine shots with four on goal, while Bellarmine recorded 10 shots and five on goal.
In addition to two goals scored, Ohlwein led USI with three shots and two on target. Between the posts, Lintner totaled four saves in the win.
Sunday’s victory was Head Coach Eric Schoenstein’s 75th career win at the helm of the Screaming Eagles and it was USI’s first win since October 8, 2023, when the Eagles defeated Lindenwood University. Additionally, USI’s first goal on Sunday afternoon snapped a scoreless streak of 339-plus minutes.
Coming off a tie and a win this past week, the Screaming Eagles will get some extra time to recover and prepare for the opening of Ohio Valley Conference play. USI begins the conference slate next Sunday, September 22 on the road at Southeast Missouri State University. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. from Cape Girardeau, Missouri.

VALPO FOOTBALL
JOHNSON NAMED PFL SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Valparaiso University football redshirt senior Sam Johnson (Birmingham, Ala. / Oak Mountain [Jackson State / Alabama]) was tabbed the Pioneer Football League Special Teams Player of the Week on Sunday for his role in Valpo’s 20-17 victory over Indiana Wesleyan, a team ranked fifth nationally in NAIA, on Saturday night at Brown Field.
Johnson averaged 42.7 yards per punt and had a long of 49 while pinning four of his six attempts inside the 20. Serving as the holder, he also recovered a blocked 50-yard field goal attempt and completed a 25-yard pass to Ryan Mann for a first down, extending a drive that resulted in a crucial field goal that was eventually the difference in the three-point win.
Johnson ranks 11th nationally in FCS with a punting average of 45.3. He becomes the first Valpo player to garner a PFL Weekly Award this season. In addition, Nic Lendino was the league’s nominee for national freshman of the week honors for his interception with 5:05 remaining that helped the Beacons wrap up the victory. He also had six tackles including five solos. This marks the second straight week Valpo has provided the league’s freshman nominee for national honors after Caron Tyler earned that nomination in Week 2. The PFL does not officially award a Freshman of the Week.
The Beacons will look to make it back-to-back wins when they host Roosevelt at 1 p.m. on Saturday at Brown Field. For tickets, visit tickets.valpoathletics.com.
VALPO VOLLEYBALL
PICKETT, SWISTEK EARN ALL-TOURNAMENT ACCOLADES
A senior and a freshman represented the Valpo volleyball team on the Popcorn Classic All-Tournament Team, as Elise Swistek (LaPorte, Ind./New Prairie) and Jessica Pickett (Carmel, Ind./Carmel) earned the accolades for their respective performances last weekend.
Swistek posted double-doubles in all three tournament matches, starting with match highs of 11 kills and 27 digs in the sweep of Miami — the latter mark the high by a non-libero in a three-set D-I match this season. The senior posted a team-best 14 kills and a match-high 21 digs Friday night against Cornell before finishing the tournament by leading all players with 13 kills on .357 hitting and 18 digs in the sweep of Purdue Fort Wayne.
Pickett stood out in the middle on both sides of the net throughout the weekend. The freshman opened the tournament by racking up a season-best 11 kills on .500 hitting and three blocks in the sweep of Miami. Pickett followed with six kills and a team-best six blocks against Cornell and closed the weekend with seven kills on just 12 swings and a match-high six blocks in the sweep of Purdue Fort Wayne.
For the weekend, Swistek averaged 3.80 kills/set and 6.60 digs/set, both team-high marks. Along the way, she cracked Valpo’s top-20 in career digs. Pickett posted 2.40 kills/set on .404 hitting and a team-best 1.50 blocks/set.
The seven-player All-Tournament Team was highlighted by tournament MVP Mackenzie Parsons from Cornell. The Big Red also placed Eliza Konvicka and Jaida Sione on the All-Tournament Team, while Purdue Fort Wayne was represented by LonDynn Betts and Miami by Sophie Crawford.
VALPO WOMEN’S SOCCER
SOCCER FALLS AT NIU IN NONCONFERENCE FINALE
The Valpo soccer team wrapped the nonconference portion of its 2024 campaign on Sunday afternoon, falling 2-1 at Northern Illinois. The Beacons, who open MVC play Thursday evening at Brown Field, concluded the nonconference slate with a 4-4-0 record.
How It Happened
The Huskies grabbed an early lead in the fifth minute on an unassisted effort from Kelsi McLaughlin.
NIU’s lead was 1-0 at halftime.
NIU added a second goal in the 68th minute, as Amber Best found the back of the net following a scramble in the box off of a free kick.
Senior Addy Joiner (Chesterton, Ind./Chesterton) pulled a goal back for the Beacons in the 71st minute with an impressive strike, lining up a free kick from about 35 yards out and hitting a laser which the NIU goalie got her hands on, but was unable to keep out of the back of the net.
Valpo was unable to find the equalizer, however, despite getting a pair of clean looks at goal in the final five minutes of play.
Inside the Match
Valpo finished nonconference play at or above .500 for the fourth time in the last five seasons.
This is the first season Valpo has not had a draw in the nonconference schedule since 2017. It is also the second time in program history all of its nonconference matches have been decided in 90 minutes — in other seasons without a nonconference draw, at least one such contest went to extra time.
Joiner’s goal was her fourth of the season. With 22 career goals, she now sits alone in fourth place in program history, while her 50 career points are just two shy of a tie for fourth all-time at Valpo.
Freshman Hailey Wade (Fishers, Ind./Hamilton Southeastern) started in goal and made a pair of saves.
Backs Anna Cup (Bartlett, Ill./South Elgin) and Ashley Trippeer (Mokena, Ill./Lincoln-Way Central) played the full 90 minutes on a warm Sunday afternoon.
Thoughts From Coach Marovich
“We had a good nonconference schedule which challenged us in a lot of different ways, giving our group the chance to learn from each match.”
“One thing we have to be on guard about going into MVC play is how we start matches. That’s something we got caught on early today, which forced us to start to have to chase the game early on.”
“We responded in a really positive way, especially with a much better second half. We had some really good chances in the last 45 and it was just unfortunate we didn’t score them.”
“The nonconference schedule provided the opportunity to grow and get ready for MVC play. We prepare now as we get to start that next journey of our season on Thursday.”

UINDY MEN’S SOCCER
SANCHEZ’S LATE GOAL LIFTS THE HOUNDS PAST TRUMAN
INDIANAPOLIS – The Hounds ended their two-game skid when Alvaro Sanchez’s 82nd minute goal lifted the team to a 1-0 win over Truman on Sunday.
Head coach Gabe Hall and company were able to extend the team’s win streak against Truman to six straight wins. UIndy was able to find some offense in the match as well, for the first time this season, as they had 15 total shots compared to Truman’s six shots.
HOW IT HAPPENED
The Hounds started the match strong with early chances from Bobby Turner and Vincent Montoya. But their first real scoring chance came when Lucas Bedleg hit the crossbar in the 33rd minute.
UIndy started the second half strong with another chance by Bedleg in the 51st minute which forced a save from Truman’ goalkeeper Justin Olwig. And a chance just under four minutes later by substitute Kabiru Gafar, missed just to the right of the goal, keeping the score all level at 0-0.
Much of the second half was played in the Hounds attacking half as they put continuous pressure on the Bulldogs defense. Their pressure finally paid off in the 82nd minute when Alvaro Sanchez corralled a loose ball at the top of the box, and hit a shot low to the left side of the goal beating the outstretched arm of Olwig to give the Hounds the 1-0 lead and eventually the win.
INSIDE THE BOX
– Lucas Bedleg led the team in total shots for the Hounds with four.
– Bobby Turner made his 23rd consecutive start today for the Hounds.
– All four substitutes; Gafar, Abrahamsen, Longo and Hogle, all recorded one shot in the game.
– Ionas Giovanidis made his first career start in goal for the Hounds today.

The Hounds will look to continue the momentum in their next GLVC match on Friday, Sept. 20, when they take on Quincy.

GREYHOUNDS DRAW 0-0 IN STALEMATE AT TRUMAN
INDIANAPOLIS – In its GLVC opener, the UIndy women’s soccer team drew 0-0 on the road against Truman on Sunday, Sept. 15.
The stalemate brought a defensive battle to the match, with the Greyhounds’ back-line holding the Bulldogs to just three shots on goal. The Greyhounds were challenged with seven corner kicks throughout the match and shut down all threats.
HOW IT HAPPENED
The first half started out with both teams feeling out the pace of the match, each driving chances on goal. Stephanie Brady, Lyza Shamy, and Dejanae Butler each put shots on target but couldn’t put one past Tatumn Damron in net for Truman. The Hounds limited Truman to just one shot on goal in the first half, but the Bulldogs held most of the possession in the first.
The second half began with Truman testing the UIndy keeper Jenna Taghikhani early, when Aubrey Kaupas sent a chance low and left on frame at the 48-minute mark. The Hounds almost found a breakthrough late in the match, when Brady missed a penalty kick high in the 80th minute mark after being fouled in the box by Damron.
INSIDE THE BOX
– Tagihkhani recorded her first shutout in 2024, with three saves on the day. It was her second career clean sheet.
– Brady recorded a shot on goal, her fourth consecutive game landing a shot on target.
– Zy’Aire Parker played the entirety of the match, extending her streak of playing all 90 minutes to four games.

COACH DIJON KNIGHT’S COMMENTS
I’m extremely proud of the guys. We knew coming into this season with our returners and the talent coming in that were capable of scoring in the low 300’s. This weekend, we went out and did so for two consecutive rounds proving it. Not just to ourselves, but also to the league that Anderson Golf is for real. The growth and consistency in our game is a tribute to how hard our guys have worked over the summer and since they have been back on campus. The guys aren’t content and neither are we coaches. We know we can cut down on a few more strokes here and there. We recognize that the program hasn’t had this type of success in recent years, which is great, but we need to hunker down, focus in practice and continue to improve.

COACH SCOTT GREVE’S COMMENTS
Another great weekend for Raven Tennis. We had two athletes participate in the second and third flights of singles, which meant that six Raven athletes played above their position in our lineup with great results. It was an all Raven third-place matchup in both the No. 2 and No. 3 singles flights – both matches going to third-set tiebreakers. I couldn’t be prouder of these young ladies. They continue to play great tennis and improve every time we get on the court. Now we will get some much-needed rest and prepare for our match with Trine on Wednesday.

FOOTBALL HISTORY
1937 Redskins first game in DC
September 16, 1937 – The Redskins franchise plays it’s first game in Washington DC at the old Griffith Stadium. In the game they defeated the New York Giants 13-3. The franchise actually had its start in Boston, Mass. in 1932 under the guise of the Boston Braves after George Preston Marshall established the franchise and purchased the right to play in the NFL. George was a larger than life showman, who thrived on attention. He named the team after the Boston Braves baseball team that played there but after very little support he knew he had to change things up a bit. Prior to the 1933 season the nickname was changed to the Redskins to give his team their own identity. The team had limited success in Boston, and didn’t get much support from the community. The lack of support by both the fans and the media really came to a head when Marshall noticed that a local field hockey team was getting more press coverage than his beloved Redskins. This infuriated Marshall so a change of surroundings seemed to be in order and the move to the Nation’s Capital changed the course of the franchise as they were crowned the NFL Champions in their inaugural year in DC. This 1937 team was led by rookie quarterback ‘Slinging” Sammy Baugh. The Redskins were the champs once again in 1942 and have also been victorious in Super Bowls in 1892, 1897 & 1991 and took home NFL titles.
The Cleveland Browns First NFL game
September 16, 1950 – The Cleveland Browns played their first regular season game as part of the NFL. The club was formerly in the All American Football Conference where they started playing in 1946. Cleveland businessman Arthur McBride purchased and created the franchise and they had almost immediate success. The Browns dominated the AAFC and some think that this was the main reason for the Conference’s demise and closure after the 1949 season ended. Three teams from the former AAFC moved into the NFL in 1950, the Browns, the Baltimore Colts and the San Francisco 49ers. The early Cleveland Browns teams were talented and had great players such as Marion Motley, Otto Graham and Lou Groza on their roster. The schedule makers wanted to show the dominance of the NFL so they scheduled the Browns, champs of the AAFC in 1949 to open up against the 1949 Philadelphia Eagles who were the reigning title holders of the NFL in 1949. The NFL expected the Browns to struggle when they entered the League in 1950 but boy were they wrong. The Cleveland squad in fact crushed the Philadelphia Eagles by the score of 35-10 in this game played on September 16, 1950. Not only did the Browns under Head Coach win all four titles in the AAFC, but they won Championship games in the NFL in 1950, 1954, 1955 and 1964.
NFL records set on September 16
September 16, 1973 – Buffalo’s O.J. Simpson rushes for a then NFL record 250 yards in Buffalo’s 31-13 win at New England
September 16, 2018 – Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes set an NFL record for the first two weeks of a season by tossing 10 touchdowns. The second year QB under the tutelage of offense genius, Andy Reid torched the Pittsburgh Steelers secondary with 6 TD passes leading the upstart Chiefs to a 42-37 victory at Heinz Field.
HOF Birthdays
September 16, 1895 – Charles Bidwill was a former owner of the Chicago Cardinals franchise. Charley purchased the Cards in 1933 and made the predictive statement of his confidence in the League that the NFL was a guiding light during the Depression years. Bidwill was born and raised in Chicago and became a successful lawyer and businessman with rumored ties to the notorious gang of mobster Al Capone. Prior to purchasing the team he had a connection with the League. In 1932, the Chicago Bears and George Halas were facing some financial woes as Halas needed to buy out co-owner Edward “Dutch “ Sternaman. Sternaman was a teammate of Halas in college and the first player Papa Bear signed when he took over ownership of the newly acquired Decatur Staleys. Sternaman was one of the Staleys/Bears early stars and when the team relocated to Chicago Halas offered Sternaman a 50 percent stake in the franchise. During the Great Depression Sternaman lost almost everything and offered to have Halas buy him out. George Halas really didn’t have the liquid assets to do so between a $5000 loan from Halas mother, a $5000 bank loan set up by Bidwill and Charley Bidwill that stepped in buying in with $5000 of his own is what saved the Bears. About a year later Charley Bidwill had the owner of the Chicago Cardinals, Dr. David Jones on his private yacht for a dinner party. A discussion arose between the two men with Jones complaining about the poor state of his team financially. Jones’ wife, Violet, in jest suggested that Bidwill buy the Cardinals from her husband. The good Doctor then replied that everything is for sale for a price and Bidwill offered Jones $50,000 , handed him $2000 cash as a deposit and the sale was final a short time later after Bidwill was able to sell his stake in the Bears. Even though Charley had a very enthusiastic opinion of the NFL it did not translate into successful seasons for the Cardinals. In his first 13 seasons at the helm Bidwill’s Redbirds they had but one winning season. Some claimed the woes of the franchise was a curse for Bidwill taking credit for the Cardinals taking the 1925 NFL Title. They had had only been given the title after the Pottsville Maroons had been stripped of if after the Maroons had finished with the best record but played an illegal game after the season was over which subsequently nullified their championship claim per the NFL brass’ decision in an effort to keep parity in the League. In late 1946, with the AAFC’s Chicago Rockets drawing attendance away from his team Bidwill decided to take drastic action to have his team become a winner. Bidwill in an unprecedented move outbid the Rockets and signed All-American Charley Trippi to a contract. It would be what Bidwill described as the “Dream Backfield” consisting of Paul Christman, Trippi, Marshall Goldberg, Elmer Angsman and Pat Harder. It was a solid backfield. But Charley Bidwill would never see them play together as the 51 year old owner died of pneumonia shortly after he signed Trippi. Ironically almost in tribute to the man that invested so much effort to win, the Chicago Cardinals won the 1947 NFL Championship Title. The Pro Football Hall of Fame enshrined Charley Bidwill as a contributor in 1967. Sports History Network Joe Ziemba is an expert on the Cardinals and Charley Bidwill so for more on these subject get a copy below and read Joe’s book and listen to his great podcast by Arnie Chapman the Football History Dude.
September 16, 1927 – Bob Ward was a former guard from the University of Maryland. The National Football Foundation selected him to enter into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1980.
September 16, 1954 – Wilbert Montgomery was a running back from Abilene Christian. A starter at running back for four years, Wilbert Montgomery set the NAIA record of career touchdowns at 76 trips to paydirt. After a successful collegiate career Montgomery entered into the NFL where he played for nine seasons for the Philadelphia Eagles and later for the Detroit Lions. The National Football Foundation enshrined Wilbert into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1996.
TODAY IN BASEBALL HISTORY
1903 In their 14-7 victory over Cleveland at the Huntington Avenue Baseball Grounds, the first-place Americans score in every inning, making it 11 consecutive frames that at least one player has crossed the plate. The fledgling American League team will also tally in the first six innings of its next game to extend the scoring streak to 17 straight frames.
1914 The Yankees hire shortstop Roger Peckinpaugh to replace Frank Chance as the team’s skipper. During his 20-game tenure as the player-manager, the 23-year-old infielder will finish the season with a 10-10 record for the sixth-place club.
1922 After listening to excessive bench jockeying from the Giants dugout, Reds’ hurler Adolfo Luque becomes so enraged he throws down his glove and bolts into the New York dugout. The Cuban native, known for his fiery temper, punches Casey Stengel on the jaw and is ordered to return to his bench by the police, who are busy trying to prevent the Polo Grounds overflow crowd from rioting.
1924 Cardinal first baseman Jim Bottomley goes 6-for-6, including two homers, driving in a record twelve runs when the team beats the Dodgers at Ebbets Field, 17-3. The previous mark of 11 RBIs in one game was established in 1892 by today’s opposing Dodger manager, Wilbert Robinson.
1926 En route to a 23-3 rout of the Phillies at the Baker Bowl, the Cardinals cross home plate 12 times during the third inning. The dozen runs establish a franchise record for the Redbirds.
1931 At Rickwood Field, Birmingham Barons starter Ray Caldwell outduels Dizzy Dean to beat the Texas League’s Houston Buffaloes, a Cardinals farm team, 1-0, in Game One of the Dixie Series. The 43-year-old right-hander posted a 19-7 record with an ERA of 3.45 during the regular season for the Southern Association team.
1938 Johnny Rizzo becomes the first Pirates player in franchise history to hit 20 home runs in a season. The 25-year-old rookie outfielder from Texas, who becomes hurt next season and never playing regularly for the Bucs again, finishes the campaign batting .301 with 23 round-trippers and 111 RBIs.
1940 In a 16-4 Browns rout of the Yankees at Sportsman’s Park, Johnny Lucadello becomes the first player in big-league history to hit his first two career home runs from different sides of the plate in the same game. The 21-year-old second baseman, who joins Wally Schang as only the second player in American League history to accomplish the feat, will hit just three more home runs during his six-year career.
1942 The Phillies, bowing to the Cubs in the nightcap of a twin bill, 4-1, become the first major league team to have five consecutive 100-loss seasons. From 1938 to the end of this season, the team will compile a 227-532 (.299) record under three different managers.
1948 Joe DiMaggio’s 300th career homer is the lone run that Detroit starter Fred Hutchinson gives up in his 2-1 complete-game win over New York at Briggs Stadium. The ‘Yankee Clipper’ joins Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Mel Ott, Jimmie Foxx, Rogers Hornsby, Chuck Klein, and Hank Greenberg as the eighth major leaguer to reach the milestone.
1948 At Cleveland Stadium, Larry Doby’s first-inning grand slam off Sid Hudson proves to be the difference when the Indians hand the Senators their 16th consecutive defeat, 6-3. The four-run homer extends the 24-year-old sophomore outfielder’s hitting streak to 21 games.
1952 Pacific Coast League’s Sacramento manager, former major league All-Star second baseman Joe Gordon, pinch-hits homers in both ends of a doubleheader. The first one, a grand slam, wins the game, 4-1.
1953 A fact-finding committee appointed by the American League approves the relocation of the St. Louis Browns but does not specify any city for the new home for the franchise. In March, by a 5-2 vote, the Junior Circuit thwarted Bill Veeck’s plan to shift the club to Baltimore, eventually approving the transfer when the controversial owner agreed to give up his interest in the team.
1955 In the eighth inning of the A’s 13-7 victory over Chicago, Kansas City infielder Alex George makes his major league debut at Municipal Stadium. The 16-year-old shortstop handles two chances cleanly and strikes out in his only at-bat.
1960 Warren Spahn pitches a no-hitter, beating the Phillies at County Stadium, 4-0. The 39-year-old southpaw sets an all-time Braves record with 15 strikeouts en route to his 20th victory of the season, marking the tenth time he has reached the plateau.
1963 After winning 19 of their last 20 games, the Cardinals face the first-place Dodgers, needing a victory to tie their opponent in the standings. In front of an enthusiastic Busch Stadium crowd, Stan Musial’s seventh-inning home run, the 475th and last big-league round-tripper of his career, ties the game at 1-1, but LA scores two runs in the ninth to win the game en route to sweeping the three-game series to clinch the pennant.

1965 In front of only 1,247 fans at Fenway Park, Red Sox right-hander Dave Morehead, the league leader in losses this season with 18, no-hits the visiting Indians, 2-1. On the same day, ninth-place Boston, who will lose 100 games, fire their general manager, Pinky Higgins.
1966 Bob Gibson notches his 20th victory when he goes the distance to beat Chicago at Wrigley Field, 3-1. The Cardinal right-hander becomes the first pitcher in over forty years to have consecutive 20-win seasons for a second-division team.
1967 In the 11th inning at Connie Mack Stadium, Rick Joseph hits a walk-off grand slam in the Phillies’ 8-4 victory over the Dodgers. Two batters are walked intentionally by Ron Perranoski to face the weak-hitting Philadelphia pinch-hitter, who responds with his first career home run and his only round-tripper this season.
1968 American League President Joe Cronin fires umpires Al Salerno and Bill Valentine, citing their incompetency for their dismissal. The veteran men in blue claim the firings were due to their efforts to organize the Junior Circuit arbitrators after the pair met with their National League counterparts who had formed a union in 1963.
1969 The Red Sox fire skipper Dick Williams with one year left on his contract due to several things, including a lack of communication with the players, according to General Manager Dick O’Connell. As a rookie manager in 1967, Williams led Boston to their Impossible Dream American League pennant.
1972 Phillies’ rookie third baseman Mike Schmidt hits his first career home run, breaking Expos’ Balor Moore’s 25 consecutive scoreless inning streak. Michael Jack Schmidt will finish his 18-year career with 548 round-trippers.
1972 Glen Beckert goes 0-for-6 in the Cubs’ 18-5 victory over the Mets at Wrigley Field, leaving 12 men on base to set a new major league mark. The Chicago second baseman strands the bases loaded in the first and seventh, leaves two runners on twice when he bats two times in the team’s seven-run third and fails to plate other teammates in the fifth and seventh, the first of his two plate appearances in the frame.
1975 Rennie Stennett ties a major league mark established in 1892 with his 7-for-7 performance in a nine-inning game. The Pirates’ second baseman gets two hits in one inning twice, the first and fifth frames, in the Bucs’ 22-0 rout of the Cubs at Wrigley Field, the most one-sided shutout since 1900.
1975 Mike Vail fails to break the major league rookie record for consecutive games with a hit shared by Richie Ashburn (1948, Phillies) and Alvin Dark (1948, Braves). The 23-year-old freshman left fielder has plenty of opportunities to hit safely in his 24th straight game, coming to the plate eight times in the Mets’ 18-inning marathon with Montreal, a 4-3 victory over the Expos at Shea Stadium.
1979 At Yankee Stadium, the Bronx Bombers hold Catfish Hunter Day to honor their future Hall of Fame pitcher, who will retire at the end of the season at 33. A 20-year-old left-hander named Dave Righetti makes his major league debut for the hometown team, giving up three runs on three hits while issuing six walks in five innings against the Tigers.
1980 Mike Norris, en route to a 22-9 record with the second-place A’s, gets his 20th victory of the season when Oakland beats Texas at Arlington Stadium, 4-2. The 25-year-old right-hander will compile a 58-59 career mark during his ten years in the major leagues with Oakland.
1987 Indian first baseman Joe Carter, swiping his career-high 30th base, becomes the tenth major leaguer to hit 30 home runs and steal 30 bases in the same season. Four players, including Mets teammates Howard Johnson and Darryl Strawberry and A’s slugger Jose Canseco, become the newest members of the 30/30 club this season, an accomplishment previously attained only eleven times.
1988 On a wet, dreary night in a game delayed by two hours and 27 minutes, Tom Browning pitches the first perfect game in Reds’ history, striking out eight and allowing only eight balls to leave the infield in his 1-0 victory against the Dodgers. Over three starts, including the perfect game, the 28-year-old southpaw retires 40 consecutive batters – one shy of the major league record established in 1972 by Giants’ right-hander Jim Barr.
1991 Darren Lewis scores four runs and steals three bags without getting a hit. In four of his five plate appearances, the Giants’ leadoff hitter reaches base via a walk in San Francisco’s victory over the Braves at Candlestick Park, 8-5.
1993 At the age of 41, Twins’ Dave Winfield becomes the 19th major leaguer to collect 3000 hits when he singles to left off A’s ace Dennis Eckersley in the bottom of the ninth of a 5-4 extra-inning victory over Oakland at the Metrodome. Joining Al Kaline, the Minnesota DH becomes the second player to reach the milestone, having never played a day in the minors.
1996 A fifth-inning triple off Royal southpaw Jose Rosado gives Twins Paul Molitor his 3000th hit, becoming the first major leaguer to accomplish the feat with a three-bagger. The ‘Ignitor’ reaches this milestone in the same season in which he also collects 200 hits, making him the only player to accomplish both feats in the same campaign.
1996 Benito Santiago hits a trio of home runs in his three first at-bats in the Phillies’ 6-1 victory over the Cubs at Wrigley Field. The 31-year-old native of Ponce, Puerto Rico, also went deep in his last at-bat in yesterday’s contest in Chicago, giving the Philadelphia backstop four consecutive homers in four at-bats.
1997 Phillies hurler Curt Schilling, in a 3-2 victory at Veterans Stadium, whiffs nine Mets to become the thirteenth pitcher in major league history since 1900 to record 300 strikeouts in a season. The right-hander also reaches the milestone next year with Philadelphia and in 2002 with the Diamondbacks.
1998 Tom Gordon ties Jose Mesa’s major league single-season record established in 1995 with his 38th consecutive save. The 30-year-old right-handed closer also set a franchise mark with his 41st save when the Red Sox beat Baltimore, 4-3.
1998 Cleveland’s Manny Ramirez ties a major league record with homers in four straight at-bats and five in two games. The Indian right fielder, who homered in his final three at-bats last night, goes deep in the first off Twin Bob Tewksbury and takes a 3-2 pitch to left in the fifth for his fifth homer in six at-bats.
1998 Four batters strike out in one inning for only the 30th time in major league history, marking only the 12th time the feat occurs consecutively. Thanks to Randy Knorr’s passed ball, Marlin rookie Kirt Ojala accomplishes the deed in the fourth inning of the Marlins’ 3-2 defeat to the Expos.
1998 In front of 49,891 patrons at San Diego’s Jack Murphy Stadium, Sammy Sosa ties Mark McGwire by hitting his record-setting 63rd home run. The 434-foot eighth-inning two-out blast off Brian Boehringer is a tie-breaking grand slam, with ‘Slammin’ Sammy collecting all six RBIs when the Cubs beat the Padres, 6-3.
1999 Doug Glanville collects five hits, including a double and a home run, in the Phillies’ 8-6 victory at the Astrodome, ending Houston’s win streak at 12, a franchise record. The 29-year-old center fielder will enjoy another five-hit performance next season against Cincinnati.
2000 With a sixth-inning blast in a 7-6 loss to the hometown Cardinals, Cub outfielder Sammy Sosa joins Mark McGwire (1997-99) as the only major leaguer to hit 50 home runs in three straight seasons. Babe Ruth had three 50+ homer seasons but did not accomplish the feat in consecutive years.
2002 Giant left fielder Barry Bonds walks three times, breaking his own record for bases on balls in a season with 178. Approximately one-third of the free passes given to the San Francisco slugger have been intentional (60 out of 178).
2004 The Red Sox become the fourth team in big league history to sell out an 81-game home season. The Indians (1996-2000), Rockies (1996), and Giants (2000) are the other clubs that have accomplished the feat.
2005 Youppi!, who got his start at Olympic Stadium, is named the first official mascot of the Montreal Canadiens, becoming the first to switch from Major League Baseball to the NHL. The acquisition, reportedly at the cost of six figures, is made possible when the Expos leave the hairy orange arm-waving giant behind in favor of an eagle called “Screech” when they moved to Washington, D.C. to become the Nationals.
2006 Angels center fielder Chone Figgins, in a 12-6 loss to the Rangers in Texas, triples in the ninth inning to become the fifth player in franchise history to hit for the cycle. ‘Figgy’ joins Jeff DaVanon (2004), Dave Winfield (1991), Dan Ford (1979), and Jim Fregosi (1964, 1968) to accomplish the feat for the Halos.
2006 The Boys and Girls Clubs of Boston’s grand reopening ceremony for its Roxbury facility, which underwent a $7-million renovation, has some community leaders upset with its new name unveiled at the event. The previous Red Sox owner, Tom Yawkey, created the foundation that donated $3 million to renovate the facility, but some in the minority neighborhood believe it’s wrong to name the clubhouse after him because of his racially motivated policies, including not signing Jackie Robinson and the team becoming the last to integrate.
2006 Stealing second base in the first inning in an 8-5 victory over the Brewers at RFK, Alfonso Soriano becomes the fourth player in major league history to hit 40 homers and steal 40 bases in a single season. The Nationals’ outfielder joins Jose Canseco (1988), Barry Bonds (1996), and Alex Rodriguez (1998) as the only players to record 40-40 seasons.
2007 Todd Jones becomes the 21st major leaguer to record 300 career saves. The milestone doesn’t come easy as the Tigers’ closer gives up three hits and a run in Detroit’s 6-4 win over the Twins at the Metrodome.
2007 David Wright, homering in the seventh inning of a 10-6 loss to Philadelphia at Shea Stadium, becomes the 30th member of the 30-30 club. The New York third baseman, returning to the dugout, is greeted by hitting coach Howard Johnson, who, along with Darryl Strawberry, are the other Mets to have stolen thirty bases and hit 30 homers in the same season.
2007 In a dramatic at-bat, Jim Thome becomes the third major leaguer this season and the 23rd overall to hit 500 career home runs. The historic homer comes in the bottom of the ninth on a full count as the White Sox DH strokes a two-run walk-off round-tripper to beat the Angels at U.S. Cellular Field, 9-7.
2007 Washington announces that the press box in Nationals Park, the team’s new home scheduled to open next season, will be named the “Shirley Povich Media Center,” in honor of the late Hall of Fame Baseball writer. The Washington Post’s long-time sports columnist and reporter covered the Senators’ first World Series championship in 1924 and continued to write for the paper until he died in 1998.
2008 Derek Jeter becomes the all-time hits leader at the soon-to-be-demolished Yankee Stadium. The team’s shortstop and captain surpass Lou Gehrig’s record with a first-inning single in a 6-2 loss to the White Sox, bringing his total to 1,270 at the 85-year-old ballpark.
2009 The Tigers pay tribute to 91-year-old Ernie Harwell, their long-time broadcaster (1960-2002), who recently revealed he has inoperable cancer. During the 4-3 victory over Kansas City, a ceremony in the third inning includes a three-minute video tribute followed by the Hall of Fame announcer thanking the admiring and supportive fans attending the game at Comerica Park.
2010 Nyjer Morgan, following appeals, will serve an eight-game suspension in place of the two original bans that totaled 15 games. Nationals outfielder, initially given a seven-game suspension for deliberately throwing a ball into the stands, is suspended for another eight games the following week for instigating a brawl with Florida.
2012 The Orioles, with their 9-5 victory over Oakland, are assured of having their first winning season since the team finished first in the AL East in 1997. The Birds will finish the campaign with a 93-69 record for a second-place finish but will earn a spot in the postseason as the play-in Wild Card team.
2014 With an 8-2 win over the Blue Jays, the Orioles cop their first AL East crown since 1997, when Davey Johnson managed the club to 98 victories. The Camden Yards victory marks the earliest Baltimore has clinched a division title (151st game) since 1971 and the first time the Birds had captured the flag at home in 35 years.
