TOP 25 ROUNDUP: NO. 3 MICHIGAN PREVAILS WITHOUT JIM HARBAUGH
Blake Corum rushed for 145 yards, scored two touchdowns and helped No. 3 Michigan overcome the absence of head coach Jim Harbaugh to defeat No. 10 Penn State 24-15 on Saturday at University Park, Pa.
Harbaugh was suspended by the Big Ten on Friday for the remainder of the regular season amid an in-person scouting scandal. Michigan filed for a temporary restraining order, but the hearing was delayed until Friday. Assistant Sherrone Moore filled in for Harbaugh.
Donovan Edwards rushed for 52 yards and a touchdown for the Wolverines (10-0, 7-0 Big Ten), while J.J. McCarthy had only eight pass attempts, all in the first half, and completed seven for 60 yards.
Drew Allar completed 10 of 22 passes for 70 yards and a touchdown for the Nittany Lions (8-2, 5-2). He also rushed for 49 yards on 10 carries and a touchdown. Kaytron Allen had 72 yards rushing for the Penn State.
No. 1 Ohio State 38, Michigan State 3
Marvin Harrison Jr. scored three touchdowns and Kyle McCord passed for 335 yards and three scores as the Buckeyes routed the Spartans in Columbus, Ohio.
Harrison rebounded from a subpar performance against Rutgers (four catches for 25 yards and TDs of 4 and 2 yards) to help the Buckeyes (10-0, 7-0 Big Ten) to a 35-3 halftime lead.
Katin Houser was 12 of 24 for 92 yards for Michigan State (3-7, 1-6), which has lost eight straight games to the Buckeyes since its last win in 2015.
No. 2 Georgia 52, No. 9 Ole Miss 17
Kendall Milton rushed for 127 yards and two touchdowns, Daijun Edwards added two touchdown runs and the Bulldogs clinched the Southeastern Conference East division title by routing the Rebels in Athens, Ga.
Carson Beck passed for 306 yards and two touchdowns for the Bulldogs (10-0, 7-0 SEC), who will face No. 8 Alabama for the SEC title on Dec. 2 in Atlanta. Georgia outgained Ole Miss 611-352 and held Jaxson Dart to 112 passing yards.
Quinshon Judkins rushed for both touchdowns for the Rebels (8-2, 5-2), who saw their five-game winning streak end.
No. 4 Florida State 27, Miami 20
Trey Benson ran for two touchdowns — including the go-ahead 38-yarder in the third quarter — as the Seminoles defeated the Hurricanes in Tallahassee, Fla.
Jordan Travis passed for 265 yards and one touchdown for Florida State (10-0, 8-0 Atlantic Coast Conference), which won its 16th consecutive game. Travis became the first quarterback in Seminoles history to beat Miami three straight years.
Miami (6-4, 2-4) benched quarterback Tyler Van Dyke for the first time in his career. True freshman Emory Williams started instead. Williams completed 8 of 23 passes for 175 yards and two TDs.
No. 5 Washington 35, No. 18 Utah 28
Michael Penix Jr. passed for 332 yards and two touchdowns, both to Rome Odunze, as the Huskies outlasted the Utes on a windy and wet afternoon in Seattle.
Dillon Johnson added 104 yards rushing and a score for the Huskies (10-0, 7-0 Pac-12). Grady Gross kicked two field goals for Washington, but his third attempt, a 32-yarder with 1:38 remaining, was blocked, giving the Utes one last chance.
The Huskies’ Dominique Hampton intercepted a fourth-and-10 pass at Utah’s 43-yard line with 44 seconds left to seal the victory. Bryson Barnes completed 17 of 30 passes for 267 yards, with two TDs and two interceptions, and Ja’Quinden Jackson rushed for two scores, but Utah (7-3, 4-3) saw its chances for a third consecutive Pac-12 title come to an end.
No. 6 Oregon 36, Southern California 27
Bo Nix passed for a season-high 412 yards and threw four touchdowns, and the Ducks held off the Trojans’ late rally in Eugene, Ore.
The Ducks (9-1, 6-1 Pac-12) built a 22-point lead early in the fourth quarter when Bucky Irving ran for 19 of his game-high 118 rushing yards on a touchdown carry. USC (7-4, 5-3) battled back when Caleb Williams found Brenden Rice for a 9-yard touchdown and Austin Jones capped a 77-yard drive with a 13-yard touchdown run.
But that was the closest the Trojans would get. Oregon jumped ahead early with first-half touchdowns on Nix passes of 77 yards to Tez Johnson, 84 yards to Troy Franklin and 15 yards to Terrance Ferguson.
No. 7 Texas 29, TCU 26
Quinn Ewers passed for 317 yards and a touchdown and Jonathon Brooks amassed 178 all-purpose yards and two TDs as the Longhorns dominated the first half and then held on for a win over the Horned Frogs in a key Big 12 Conference game in Fort Worth, Texas.
The Longhorns (9-1, 6-1 Big 12) are now alone atop the conference standings with two regular-season games to play. Texas led by 20 at the half but sputtered thereafter. The Horned Frogs (4-6, 2-5) made things interesting in the fourth quarter when Josh Hoover hit JP Richardson with a 3-yard TD pass and then found Savion Williams from 14 yards out, the latter with 3:28 to play.
It took a sterling catch on his back from the Longhorns’ Adonai Mitchell on a third down during the final drive to secure the win for Texas.
No. 8 Alabama 49, Kentucky 21
Jalen Milroe became the first player in Crimson Tide history to pass for three touchdowns and run for three scores in the same game while leading his team to a comfortable victory over the Wildcats in SEC play at Lexington, Ky.
Milroe completed 16 of 23 passes for 240 yards with one interception and added 36 yards on the ground. Amari Niblack, Kobe Prentice and Roydell Williams caught touchdowns passes for the Crimson Tide (9-1, 7-0 SEC), who clinched a spot in the conference title game against No. 2 Georgia.
Alabama improved to 39-2-1 all-time against Kentucky. Ray Davis rushed for two touchdowns for the Wildcats (6-4, 3-4), who have lost four of their past five games. Davis had just 26 yards on 12 carries.
No. 12 Oregon State 62, Stanford 17
Damien Martinez ran for four first-half touchdowns and DJ Uiagalelei threw for 240 yards as the Beavers walloped the Cardinal in a Pac-12 mismatch in Corvallis, Ore.
Martinez, who rushed for 146 yards on just 15 carries, scored on runs of 7, 59, 15 and 5 yards as the Beavers improved to 8-2 overall and 5-2 in the conference. Uiagalelei completed 12 of 19 passes in an efficient performance, finding Jermaine Terry II and Deshaun Fenwick for touchdown strikes of 40 and 13 yards, respectively.
Stanford (3-7, 2-6) upset Washington State last week and nearly upset Washington last month but was no match for Oregon State’s physicality on both sides of the ball. Quarterback Ashton Daniels completed 10 of 16 attempts for 200 yards and a 75-yard touchdown to Elic Ayomanor but also mixed in three interceptions.
No. 14 Missouri 36, No. 13 Tennessee 7
Cody Schrader accumulated 321 yards of total offense and rushed for a touchdown as the Tigers defeated the Volunteers in Columbia, Mo.
Schrader rushed for 205 yards on 35 carries and caught five passes for 116 yards for Missouri (8-2, 4-2 SEC).
Joe Milton III completed 22 of 34 passes for 267 yards, one touchdown and one interception for the Volunteers (7-3, 3-3).
UCF 45, No. 15 Oklahoma State 3
The Knights’ R.J. Harvey stole the show from FBS rushing leader Ollie Gordon II, rolling for a career-high 206 yards to lead UCF to a stunning upset of the Cowboys in Orlando, Fla.
A week after gaining its first conference victory in its first season in the Big 12, UCF (5-5, 2-5 Big 12) won its second straight game in dominant fashion as John Rhys Plumlee threw three touchdown passes, all to Kobe Hudson. Harvey ran for three scores, including a 92-yard back-breaking touchdown sprint in the third quarter.
It was a crushing defeat for Oklahoma State (7-3, 5-2), which was riding a five-game winning streak, including last week’s 27-24 upset of rival Oklahoma in the Bedlam Series.
Texas Tech 16, No. 16 Kansas 13
Gino Garcia drilled a go-ahead 30-yard field goal as time expired to lift the Red Raiders over the Jayhawks in Lawrence, Kan.
Behren Morton wasn’t spectacular until Texas Tech (5-5, 4-3 Big 12) needed him to be, and he delivered by engineering a drive in the closing 26 seconds that ended with Garcia’s game-winning kick. Morton was 3-for-3 for 63 yards on the decisive march, with a huge 33-yard connection to Jerand Bradley.
Kansas kicker Seth Keller connected on a 22-yard field goal with 25 seconds to go, the last of 13 consecutive Jayhawks points in the fourth quarter. Kansas fell to 7-3 overall, with a 4-3 mark in conference play.
No. 17 Oklahoma 59, West Virginia 20
Dillon Gabriel threw for a season-high 423 yards along with five touchdowns while running for three more as the Sooners beat the Mountaineers in Norman, Okla.
Gabriel’s eight combined passing/rushing touchdowns set a school record, besting the previous record of seven set by Kyler Murray and Baker Mayfield. The win snapped a two-game losing streak and kept the Sooners (8-2, 5-2 Big 12) in the hunt for a berth in the Big 12 championship game with two games remaining, though Oklahoma still doesn’t control its destiny.
West Virginia (6-4, 4-3) had its two-game winning streak snapped. Garrett Greene was 10-for-27 for 154 yards and two touchdowns.
No. 19 LSU 52, Florida 35
Jayden Daniels passed for 372 yards and rushed for 234 in a milestone performance to lead the Tigers over the Gators in SEC play at Baton Rouge, La.
Daniels passed for three touchdowns and scored on two long runs as the Tigers (7-3, 5-2 SEC) defeated the Gators for the fifth straight time and 11th in the past 14 meetings. Daniels is the first player in FBS history to pass for 350 yards and rush for 200 in the same game. He also is the second SEC player to pass for 200 yards and rush for 200 in the same game.
Trevor Etienne rushed for 99 yards and three touchdowns for the Gators (5-5, 3-4), who lost their third consecutive game.
No. 21 Arizona 34, Colorado 31
Jonah Coleman ran for a career-high 179 yards and Tyler Loop kicked a 24-yard field goal on the final play of the game to lift the Wildcats over the Buffaloes in Boulder, Colo.
The Wildcats (7-3, 5-2 Pac-12), who won their fourth consecutive game for the first time since early in the 2019 season, never led Saturday until there was no time left. Colorado (4-6, 1-6) lost its fourth game in a row and needs to win its final two to be bowl eligible.
Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders was 22 of 35 for 262 yards and two touchdowns, also rushing for a team-high 42 yards on 13 attempts. Neither quarterback was intercepted.
No. 22 Iowa 22, Rutgers 0
The Hawkeyes got the best of a defensive showdown with a 16-point fourth quarter to beat the Scarlet Knights in Big Ten Conference play in Iowa City, Iowa.
Drew Stevens provided all the offense Iowa (8-2, 5-2 Big Ten) would need with a 32-yard field goal in the second quarter and a 43-yarder in the third, but Iowa wasn’t content with a six-point lead.
Gavin Wimsatt threw for 93 yards and one interception on 7-for-18 passing as Rutgers (6-4, 3-4) ended up being outgained 402-127.
No. 23 Tulane 24, Tulsa 22
Makhi Hughes rushed for 131 yards with a touchdown and the Green Wave stopped a two-point conversion pass to hang on for a victory over the Golden Hurricane in an American Athletic Conference game at New Orleans.
Hughes had his sixth consecutive 100-yard game and Michael Pratt passed for 194 yards and a touchdown for the Green Wave (9-1, 6-0 AAC).
Kirk Francis completed 22 of 34 passes for 345 yards and Kamdyn Benjamin finished with eight receptions for 157 yards and two touchdowns to lead Tulsa (3-7, 1-5), which lost its fifth consecutive game.
No. 24 North Carolina 47, Duke 45 (2OT)
Drake Maye scored on a 5-yard quarterback keeper and threw for a two-point conversion in the second overtime as the Tar Heels, who needed a field goal on the last play of regulation to extend the game, beat the Blue Devils at Chapel Hill, N.C.
North Carolina (8-2, 4-2 ACC) lost its previous two ACC games when it was unable to protect double-digit leads, but Saturday night’s result kept the Tar Heels in contention for a spot in the league championship game. Duke (6-4, 3-3) has lost three of its last four games, all to ranked teams.
Drake Loftis, a freshman making his second start because of injuries to other Duke quarterbacks, was 16-for-28 passing for 189 yards. Jordan Waters ran for 113 yards on 20 attempts.
No. 25 Kansas State 59, Baylor 25
Will Howard threw three touchdown passes and ran for another as the Wildcats defeated the Bears in Manhattan, Kan.
Kansas State (7-3, 5-2 Big 12) added scores on a fumble return and an interception. Howard was 19-of-29 passing for 235 yards, while moving past Josh Freeman for the most career TD passes in K-State history with 45. It was the fifth time this season that Howard threw for at least three TDs, tying Freeman for the team’s single-season mark.
Kansas State remained undefeated at home (6-0), scoring at least 40 points in all six games. Blake Shapen was 22-of-45 passing for 253 yards and four touchdowns for Baylor (3-7, 2-5).
MEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL NEWS
TOP 25 ROUNDUP: UCONN OFF TO 2-0 START IN TITLE DEFENSE
Tristen Newton poured in 22 points as all five starters scored in double figures to propel No. 6 UConn to a 107-67 victory over Stonehill on Saturday afternoon in Hartford, Conn.
Newton made 7 of 11 shots from the field and finished with seven rebounds and five steals for the Huskies (2-0), who have started their national title defense with back-to-back victories. Stephon Castle supplied 17 points and eight boards, while Donovan Clingan (16 points), Alex Karaban (15) and Cam Spencer (12) rounded out the starting five.
UConn made up for a poor performance from beyond the arc (10-for-31) by sinking 21 of 23 free-throw attempts.
Stonehill’s Jackson Benigni, an East Hampton, Conn., native, gave family and friends something for which to cheer after sharing game-high honors with 22 points on 9-for-14 shooting. Chas Stinson chipped in 10 points, but the Skyhawks (1-2) did not receive more than eight points from anyone else.
No. 7 Houston 82, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi 50
J’Wan Roberts and L.J. Cryer combined for 32 points as the Cougars rolled to a victory over the visiting Islanders on Saturday.
Roberts paired 17 points with nine rebounds while Cryer added 15 points to carry Houston (2-0), which delivered the knockout blow almost immediately out of the locker room, opening the second half with two dunks from Ja’Vier Francis, a third from Roberts and a Cryer 3-pointer that yielded a 50-30 lead.
Texas A&M-Corpus Christi shot 24.3 percent in the second half, coming undone against the Cougars’ defense. Lance-Amir Paul led the Islanders with 10 points.

NBA ROUNDUP: MAGIC’S BALANCED ATTACK TOO STRONG FOR BUCKS
Paolo Banchero scored 26 points, Franz Wagner added 24 and the Orlando Magic weathered a 35-point, 10-rebound effort from Giannis Antetokounmpo to beat the visiting Milwaukee Bucks 112-97 on Saturday night.
Orlando took the lead late in the first quarter and never looked back, building an advantage of as many as 21 points behind a balanced offensive attack. Antetokounmpo carried the load for Milwaukee, which was playing a second straight game without Damian Lillard, who was out due to right calf soreness.
Jalen Suggs supplied 20 points as five Orlando scorers finished in double figures, including Moritz Wagner, who had 19 points off the bench. Moritz Wagner scored 12 points in the first half to help ignite the pivotal, second-quarter surge that gave Orlando the lead for the rest of the game.
Jonathan Isaac chipped in 10 points off the bench and grabbed three of his five rebounds on the offensive glass — part of an overall theme for Orlando on the night. The Magic enjoyed an emphatic 22-4 advantage in second-chance points, a byproduct of their 15 offensive rebounds to just five for the Bucks.
Cavaliers 118, Warriors 110
Caris LeVert came off the bench to lead a balanced attack with 22 points, Dean Wade buried a pair of key 3-pointers to open the fourth quarter and Cleveland completed a season-series sweep over Golden State with a win in San Francisco.
Donovan Mitchell (21 points), Darius Garland (19) and Evan Mobley (19) led all five starters in double figures for the Cavaliers, who had lost 12 straight regular-season games to the Warriors before a 115-104 home win last Sunday. The sweep was Cleveland’s first over Golden State since 2010.
Stephen Curry led all scorers with 30 points but shot just 4-for-14 on 3-pointers. The Warriors went 13-for-38 (34.2 percent) from beyond the arc. Klay Thompson had 14 points and Andrew Wiggins 13 for Golden State, which was playing just its third home game. Kevon Looney was the game’s leading rebounder with 13.
Celtics 117, Raptors 94
Jaylen Brown scored a game-high 29 points and Jayson Tatum finished with 27 as Boston improved its home record to 4-0 by beating visiting Toronto.
Brown was 12 of 20 from the field and scored 21 points in the second half. He also finished the game with five rebounds. Tatum was 10-for-18 from the field and added five rebounds and four assists. Boston also received 21 points, seven rebounds and three assists from Kristaps Porzingis.
Pascal Siakam tossed in a team-high 17 points and was one of five Raptors who scored in double figures. Siakam also had seven rebounds, three assists and three steals. Dennis Schroder finished with 14 points, Jakob Poeltl and Malachi Flynn each had 12 and Scottie Barnes netted 10.
Heat 117, Hawks 109
Bam Adebayo collected 26 points and 17 rebounds, and rookie Jaime Jaquez Jr. added a season-high 20 points to lift visiting Miami to a victory over Atlanta.
Adebayo made 9 of 12 shots from the floor and all eight of his attempts from the free-throw line to send the Heat to their fourth straight victory. Jaquez played in place of injured Tyler Herro, who is sidelined for at least two weeks because of a Grade 2 ankle sprain. Jaquez made 8 of 17 shots from the floor and added four assists.
Miami forward Jimmy Butler sat out because of an undisclosed personal family issue. He could return Sunday against the host San Antonio Spurs. Atlanta’s Trae Young collected 27 points and 11 assists, and Dejounte Murray added 23 points. Bogdan Bogdanovic finished with 15 points and joined Murray by sinking five 3-pointers.

EMILY KRISTINE PEDERSEN ENJOYING STRONG SHOWING AT THE ANNIKA
Denmark’s Emily Kristine Pedersen shot a 6-under 64 on Saturday and holds a three-shot lead after three rounds of The Annika in Belleair, Fla.
Pedersen’s bogey-free round
Pedersen’s bogey-free round leaves her at 18-under 192 at Pelican Golf Club, matching the LPGA record through 54 holes first set by tournament host Annika Sorenstam at the 2003 Mizuno Classic. It was later matched by Japan’s Nasa Hataoka (2018), South Korea’s Sei Young Kim (2018) and Danielle Kang (2021).
Amy Yang of South Korea and Lilia Vu are tied for second, three shots behind Pedersen. Yang carded a 61 and Vu shot 62 on Saturday.
Pedersen set the 36-hole event record on Friday when she was at 12-under 128.
On Saturday, she made consecutive birdies on Nos. 2 and 3 and later made four more on the back nine.
“My short game was pretty good today,” Pedersen said. “I got up and down every time I missed a green, and I holed a chip, so that definitely kept me in the game, especially early in the round.
“It’s not been great the last couple days, but today was good. That’s kind of what kept the bogeys off the card and kept the momentum going, I think.”
Yang eagled the par-4 No. 5 also had seven birdies in her bogey-free round. She made four birdies on the front nine and three on the back and said she tried to simplify her mental approach.
“I was thinking about what did I do so well to play low score,” Yang said. “It was just, you know, I committed. I was really committed to each shot.”
Vu birdied seven of the last 12 holes and had eight overall during her bogey-free round. She finished strong with three birdies in the final four holes.
“This week I made a point to have fun,” Vu said. “I really enjoy this type of golf course, playing one shot at a time. This course is not easy by all means. It’s kind of difficult, so just helps me be disciplined and play one shot at a time.”
Alison Lee (62 on Saturday), Thailand’s Patty Tavatanakit (62), Spain’s Azahara Munoz (64) and Mexico’s Gaby Lopez (65) are all tied for fourth place at 13-under 197.
Lexi Thompson (66) is part of a three-way tie for 12th at 10-under 200.
Two-time defending champion Nelly Korda (67) and Canada’s Brooke Henderson (65) are part of a tie for 17th at 8 under.
MEN’S GOLF
ALEX NOREN OUT TO GO THE DISTANCE AT BERMUDA
Sweden’s Alex Noren has his eyes set on a wire-to-wire victory, remaining in the lead of the Butterfield Bermuda Championship through three rounds Saturday with a 4-under-par 67.
Noren is at 19-under 194 for the tournament and will have a one-shot lead overnight heading toward Sunday’s final round at Port Royal Golf Course.
Camilo Villegas moved into sole possession of second place with a 6-under 65 on Saturday and is at 18 under for the tournament. The 41-year-old, who last won in 2014, had an early lead at last week’s World Wide Technology Championship in Mexico before tying for second.
Villegas is among the players trying to work their way into the top 125 of the FedEx Cup Fall standings with two events left. Villegas was No. 223 before last week but now stands at No. 147, with a good chance to move even higher by the end of the day Sunday.
Ryan Moore (67 on Saturday) and Matti Schmid of Germany (65) were tied for third place at 17 under. Stewart Cink (66) was another shot back at 16 under.
Noren was a steady even par through six holes in the third round before birdies at Nos. 7 and 8. He had two more birdies on the back nine to maintain his lead, including one at the par-5 17th hole.
“This is what you dream of, having a chance to win and being up in the final group on a Saturday, Sunday,” said the 41-year-old Noren, who has won 10 times in Europe but has not won on the PGA Tour. “I really enjoyed it today. I came off maybe a little colder start, but I played good enough to kind of get that 4 under in the end. I’m happy to be in the lead still.”
Villegas traded a birdie and a bogey over the first four holes before catching fire. He had six birdies over the final 12 holes to move into second place.
Noren, Villegas and Moore will not have to introduce themselves to each other Sunday.
“Alex and Ryan Moore, we played college golf together,” Villegas said. “That’s good, we’ve got a good group (Sunday).
“It’s nice to be in the final group for a second consecutive week. That tells me that I’m doing the right thing, that all the work that I’ve been putting in is heading on the right track. But we’ve only played three rounds. Golf tournaments are four.”

COLTS FOOTBALL
GAME PREVIEW
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) In the past, playing a regular-season game abroad would bring a sense of festivity for a New England Patriots team that is unbeaten in three previous international appearances.
This time, it has the feeling of a team and its long-celebrated coach reluctantly stepping into a bigger spotlight as they trudge through one of their most difficult seasons in decades.
After a 24-year run in New England that has included six Super Bowl rings and two decades of dominance in the AFC, the Patriots are 2-7 – Bill Belichick’s worst start since his first season in 2000.
It led to a pointed question from a reporter this week: Does Belichick think he’ll be coaching for his job this week when New England travels to Frankfurt, German for its matchup with Indianapolis on Sunday?
“I’m going to control what I can control and get ready for the Colts,” Belichick responded.
Inquiries about Belichick’s job status reached all the way to Colts coach Shane Steichen who was asked later in the week if he could envision having Belichick’s championship credentials and being posed a similar question.
“No, I couldn’t imagine that. I think Bill Belichick is the best to ever do it,” Steichen said.
He may be, but his job security continues to be the central topic trailing a team that entered the week at the bottom of the AFC standings.
But Belichick said his approach in unchanged as he focuses on trying to turn things around.
“I do the same thing I always do. I try to do the best I can to help our team every week,” he said.
INTERNATIONAL HISTORY
The Patriots are 3-0 in regular-season games played internationally.
They defeated Tampa Bay in 2009 in London, the St. Louis Rams in 2012 in London and the Oakland Raiders in 2017 in Mexico City. New England has allowed only one touchdown in each of those games, while scoring 30-plus points in all three.
The Colts are playing their second regular-season game overseas. They lost to Jacksonville 30-27 in London in 2016.
TAYLOR-MADE
All-Pro running back Jonathan Taylor sat out last season’s 26-3 loss to the Patriots. The next day, team owner Jim Irsay fired coach Frank Reich and hired Jeff Saturday as interim coach.
But Taylor played a key role in 2021. He rushed 29 times for 170 yards and one score in a 27-17 victory that ended Indy’s eight-game losing streak in the series. It was his third-best total during a season in which he won the league’s rushing title.
RICHARDSON’S RETURN
Steichen said he expects injured rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson, the No. 4 overall draft pick, to return to Indianapolis later this week.
Richardson had season-ending surgery to repair a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder in Los Angeles on Oct. 24. He’s expected to continue his rehab in Indianapolis when he returns to the city where he now lives.
Could he join the Colts in Germany?
“We’ll have those conversations (Wednesday) and (Thursday) and we’ll make that decision,” Steichen said. “But yeah, he’ll be back this week.”
FIELD OF DREAMS?
Steichen went to London when he was with the Los Angeles Chargers and decided not to have the team fly into Germany until Friday.
The reason: He wanted to keep this week’s schedule as normal as possible.
But he has been doing some homework on the field conditions in Frankfurt.
“Just talking to other teams, obviously Miami and Kansas City went over there, seeing the surface, we’ll go over there and look at it,” he said. “We’ll just make sure we have the right cleats on when we’re over there and we’ll go from there.”
NO JACKSON
Cornerback J.C. Jackson hasn’t had the most productive reunion with the Patriots.
Now he isn’t expected to travel with the team to Germany after reportedly being late to the team hotel before last week’s game against Washington. Jackson didn’t start against the Commanders, but did play 53 snaps and recorded one tackle.
“I think we all try to do the right things. J.C. has done a lot of good stuff,” quarterback Mac Jones said of Jackson’s reported infraction. “Obviously, I’ll let him speak about that, but I have a lot of respect for J.C. and what he does.”
Jackson did not participate in practices Wednesday or Thursday for what the team listed as personal reasons.
Jackson was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Patriots in 2018, intercepting 25 passes over four seasons and earning second-team All-Pro honors in 2021. But he has struggled after signing a five-year, $82.5 million contract with the Chargers last year and was traded back to New England in October.
In five games since his return, he has just three pass breakups and 14 total tackles.
- New England is 9-1 against Indianapolis over their last 10 meetings (including playoffs). Last season, the Patriots scored a 26-3 win over the Colts despite having only 203 yards of offense, their fewest net yards in a win by at least 20 points in team history.
- Indianapolis’ defense has forced 33 different non-kneel down rushes to go for negative yards this season, which leads the NFL. Last season, the Colts finished second in the category (52).
- Kenny Moore II had two interception returns for a touchdown in the win over Carolina to go with his eight total tackles. He became the first NFL player to have multiple pick-sixes and at least eight tackles in a game since Aaron Glenn did so for the Texans in Week 14 of 2002.
- The Patriots have had an average time of possession of 26:30 this season, which ranks last in the NFL. Last season, the lowest average time of possession by any team for the whole seasons was 28:20 (Carolina).
- Against Washington, Rhamondre Stevenson scored a 64-yard touchdown for the longest run of his NFL career. It was the longest TD run for the Patriots in a home regular-season game since Curtis Martin had a 70-yarder in 1997 (Week 4 against Chicago).
- New England’s Brenden Schooler leads the NFL in special-teams solo tackles this season with nine. Indianapolis’ Nick Cross has the second-most solo tackles on special teams in 2023 with seven.
INDIANA FOOTBALL
OVERTIME UNKIND AT ILLINOIS
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Indiana found its offense Saturday afternoon at Illinois.
It wasn’t enough.
IU scored 15 points on its final two possessions in regulation to force overtime.
It wasn’t enough in a 48-45 overtime defeat.
The loss ended IU’s bowl hopes. The Hoosiers (3-7) will finish with next Saturday’s home game against Michigan State and a road trip to Purdue.
“This was one we had to have for the postseason,” coach Tom Allen said on his post-game radio show. “It really hurts.”
Quarterback Brendan Sorsby threw for 289 yards and three touchdowns, including the tying score with 22 seconds left. He also rushed for 53 yards and two touchdowns.
“He continues get better every week,” Allen said on the radio show. “He showed toughness on some key runs and had some high-quality throws when we needed it most. He’s going to be a special one.”
Receiver Donaven McCulley caught 11 passes for 137 yards and two touchdowns.
The Hoosiers set Big Ten season highs for points and total yards (451).
Safety Louis Moore led IU with 10 tackles and an interception.
“It’s very frustrating,” Allen told Voice of the Hoosiers Don Fischer on the radio show. “The defense let us down. Let’s be honest.
“The offense did a lot of great things. Turning it over in the second half hurt us. Those were two drives that should have given us points.
“We didn’t do a good enough job defensively from start to finish, so very disappointing.”
Illinois quarterback, John Paddock threw for 507 yards and four touchdowns. The Illini had 662 total yards.
“We couldn’t get to him,” Allen told Fischer. “They were getting the ball out quick and max protecting. That made it difficult. We were having difficulties with man coverage and tried to play zone. We were mixing it up and trying different things. We didn’t get the job done.”
Both teams started with three and outs. On its second possession, Illinois drove inside the IU 5-yard line before settling for a field goal and a 3-0 lead.
The Hoosiers capitalized on linebacker Jared Casey’s recovery of an Illinois fumbled punt with running back Trent Howland’s 1-yard power TD run late in the first quarter for a 7-3 lead.
The Illini needed less than a minute to score a touchdown for a 9-7 lead after a missed extra point.
Sorsby responded with completions of 41, seven and 13 yards. Running back Josh Henderson followed with a powerful 10-yard run before Sorsby’s six-yard TD pass to McCulley put IU ahead early in the second quarter.
An Illinois field goal cut the lead to two points. IU came back with a second Sorsby-to-McCulley touchdown pass for a 21-12 score.
Moore’s interception set up a chance for Sorsby to thrive by pass (converting a first-and-20 situation) and by run (that 18-yard, tackle-busting TD) for a 27-12 lead.
The Illini ended the half with a pair of touchdowns for a 27-26 score. A 42-yard, third-quarter touchdown pass gave them a 33-27 lead. A fourth-quarter run made it 39-27.
Gut check time.
Sorsby’s tackle-busting 5-yard touchdown run cut the lead to five with 12 minutes left. Illinois responded with a field goal for a 42-34 score with five minutes left.
A huge Aaron Casey third-down tackle gave Indiana a final chance. With just over two minutes remaining, IU delivered an 85-yard tying touchdown drive. Sorsby’s 26-yard scoring pass to receiver DeQuece Carter was followed by his conversion toss to receiver E.J. Williams Jr.
Overtime.
Chris Freeman’s 41-yard field goal gave the Hoosiers a three-point lead. Illinois won it on a third-down touchdown pass.
“Right now, we’re hurting pretty bad,” Allen told Fischer, “but we’ll get this team back competing and get ready to win two trophy games.”

PURDUE FOOTBALL
BOILERS DEFEAT GOPHERS WITH OFFENSE ERUPTION
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Behind a dominant performance of 604 yards of total offense, the Purdue football team downed Minnesota 49-20 on Saturday afternoon at Ross-Ade Stadium.
Purdue’s season-high offensive output came with 251 yards through the air and 353 on the ground. Hudson Card accounted for a career-best four touchdowns (three passing, one rushing), as the redshirt junior threw for 251 yards on 17-of-25 passing and rushed for 44 yards on eight carries.
The Boilermakers’ 353 rushing yards were the team’s most since Sept. 15, 2012, vs. Eastern Michigan. Purdue had two rushers go for 100-plus for the first time since Sept. 8, 2018, also against Eastern Michigan.
Devin Mockobee ran for a season-best 153 yards on 17 carries. Tyrone Tracy Jr. set career highs in rushing yards (122) and touchdowns (two), with a season-best 52 yards receiving.
Mockobee set team highs for longest rushes of the year with a 65-yard carry in the second quarter, before a 32-yard scamper in the third. Prior to Saturday night, Purdue’s longest run of the season went for 25 yards. Tracy took the ball for 33 yards in the fourth quarter for his career long.
Garrett Miller led the team in receiving with 65 yards on six catches, also scoring his second touchdown of the season on a 20-yard dot from Card. TJ Sheffield and Deion Burks also found paydirt, scoring on 24-yard and 42-yard receptions, respectively.
Defensively, Kydran Jenkins and Nic Scourton continued their terror in the defensive backfield. Jenkins notched a tackle-for-loss in his ninth game of the year. Scourton stonewalled a third quarter drive for Minnesota with his eighth sack of the year, moving him into a tie for 14th on Purdue’s single-season charts.
The defense allowed just four third down conversions on 14 tries, a rate of 28.6%. The Boilermakers held Minnesota quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis to a completion percentage of 42.8, finishing 18-of-42 through the air. Dillon Thieneman again paced the team with nine tackles, five solos.
Purdue’s offense found its stride in the first half with a touchdown on each of its first four possessions, a feat the Boilermakers last accomplished in a 59-7 win over Ball State in 2004.
Card’s first two touchdown passes went to Miller and Sheffield, respectively, in the first quarter. The Boilermakers added to their scoring tally in the second quarter when Tracy ran in from six yards, before Card pushed in from one yard out.
After Minnesota found the end zone on its opening drive, Purdue’s defense gave up just two field goals on the next four Golden Gopher possessions. The Boilermakers carried a 28-20 lead into the break after Minnesota scored a touchdown with 20 seconds to play in the first.
The Boilermakers added to the lead with a trio of touchdowns in the second half. Card found Burks wide open down field for a 42-yard score early in the third, before Mockobee scored on a six-yard touchdown rush early in the fourth. Tracy punched in a one-yard score, his second of the game, with five minutes to play.
A late 12-play scoring drive for the Gophers was too little, too late, as Purdue prevailed on the back of its offensive explosion.
4-FOR-4 TO START
• Purdue’s opening drive covered 75 yards in nine plays, before Card hit Miller down the middle of the field for a 20-yard score.
• The Boilermakers took seven plays to march 75 yards down the field, capped by a 24-yard connection by Card to Miller. Card was 3-for-3 with 43 yards on the possession.
• Tracy accounted for all 75 yards of Purdue’s third drive. The fifth-year senior opened with a 17-yard carry, before a 52-yard catch-and-run pass from Card. Tracy found the end zone on the next play with a six-yard rush.
• Devin Mockobee set a new Purdue season-long rush for 65 yards on the third play of Purdue’s final possession of the first half. Three plays later, Card punched in a quarterback keeper from one yard out.
• Mockobee recorded the Boilermakers’ longest run of the season on a 65-yard carry down to the Minnesota 1-yard line in the second quarter.
• The Boilermakers’ 75 rushing yards in the first quarter were their most in a quarter since amassing 89 rushing yards in the third quarter vs. Wisconsin on Sept. 22. The Boilers bested those 75 yards with 100 rushing yards in the second quarter, and again with 108 yards in the fourth.
STING LIKE A MOCKOBEE
Devin Mockobee notched his sixth career 100-yard rushing game, joining Mel Gray, Joey Harris, Jeff Hill and Corey Rogers for ninth on Purdue’s all-time list.
In two games against Minnesota, Mockobee has rushed for 265 yards on 28 carries with two touchdowns. The redshirt sophomore has never lost a yard rushing against the Golden Gophers.
NOTES
• The Boilermakers scored touchdowns on their first four offensive drives for the first time since Sept. 11, 2004, a 59-7 win over Ball State.
• Purdue totaled its largest offensive output of the season with 604 total yards, the first time it’s eclipsed 600 yards since Oct. 15, 2022, vs. Nebraska.
• The Boilers’ 353 rushing yards were the team’s most since Sept. 15, 2012, vs. Eastern Michigan.
• Purdue had two 100-yard rushers (Devin Mockobee, 153, and Tyrone Tracy Jr., 122) for the first time since Sept. 8, 2018, also against Eastern Michigan.
• Card accounted for a career-high four touchdowns (three passing, one rushing), finishing 17-of-25 passing (68%) for 251 yards and rushing eight times for 44 yards.
• The Boilermakers amassed five pass deflections, with Jenkins, Scourton, Sanoussi Kane, Cam Allen and Markevious Brown each nabbing one apiece.

NOTRE DAME WOMEN’S SOCCER
IRISH DIM LIGHTS ON BEACONS’ SEASON WITH 2-0 WIN
SOUTH BEND, Ind. – The third-seeded Notre Dame women’s soccer team outshot Valparaiso 33-1 on Saturday night in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. With a huge shot disparity on their side, the Fighting Irish (12-3-4) advanced via a 2-0 victory over the Beacons (11-6-6).
With the victory, the Irish improved to 51-4-1 at home in the NCAA Tournament. In addition, they earned their 50th all-time clean sheet in NCAA Tournament history.
Both goals came in the second half with Ellie Ospeck netting the first and the official game-winner. Her marked her fifth goal of the season and third game-winner, as the latter ties Maddie Mercado for the team lead. Ospeck now boasts a career best 17 points, which ranks second on the team. The senior forward also netted her first career NCAA Tournament goal.
Both Morgan Roy and Charlie Codd registered assists on the goal on a solid buildup down the right side of the field.
The second goal arrived in the 83rd minute with Codd finding the back of the net, ending her night with three points. Kiki Van Zanten notched the assist.
Now, the Irish will travel to Fayetteville where the No. 2 seeded Arkansas Razorbacks will host a four-team regional starting next Friday. First Notre Dame will challenge the winner of LSU/Memphis in the second round.
HOW IT HAPPENED
There were plenty of chances it could have been 1-0 Notre Dame in the first half. First, there was a cross on the ground from Leah Klenke on the left side which found Charlie Codd wide open and alone on the far right side of the six-yard box. Yet, she pushed her shot wide and to the right. Two minutes later, Kiki Van Zanten hit a missile from distance in which Valpo’s goalkeeper needed to make a diving save to her right.
In the 18th minute, Ellie Ospeck flashed her speed and blew by two defenders to get a left-footed shoot from inside the box, forcing the keeper to make another tough diving save.
In the 29th minute, Van Zanten fired off a left-footed shot from the top of the 18 and Valpo’s Nikki Coryell made a save but couldn’t hold on. The rebound almost found Kristina Lynch who just subbed into the game.
When the clock hit zero for halftime, it was still 0-0 inside Alumni Stadium as the frustrated Irish boasted an 18-0 shot differential, including a 7-0 shots on goal advantage.
The goal finally arrived in the 49th minute. It started with Codd finding Morgan Roy streaking down the right side. Roy then crossed to the middle of the box to Ospeck who one-timed it in between the goalie’s legs for the goal.
Mercado was searching for that third straight game with a goal and nearly had it in the 65th minute. The graduate hit a left-footed shot that struck off the right post.
Codd came close again in the 79th minute. With a step on her defender in the box, Codd’s shot hit off the left post as the Beacons then cleared the rebound. Codd, who had six shots in the match, finally found it in the 83rd minute to give the Irish some cushion and the eventual 2-0 win.
NOTRE DAME HOCKEY
IRISH SWEEP BUCKEYES WITH SHUTOUT WIN
SOUTH BEND, Ind. – The University of Notre Dame hockey team skated to a 3-0 victory over visiting Ohio State Saturday to complete the weekend sweep of their Big Ten foe. Ryan Bischel picked up his nation-leading third shutout of the season behind a 26-save performance to earn his sixth win of the season and improve the Irish to 6-3-2.
Similar to that of game one, the two teams looked to be heading to the first intermission scoreless but Patrick Moynihan had other plans and tapped home the loose puck with 2.8 seconds on the clock for the 1-0 lead.
Notre Dame extended their lead halfway through the second period, a tight angle shot off the stick of Moynihan for his second of the night.
With the two-goal lead heading into the third period, the Irish continued to pepper the Buckeyes’ net with shots but were unable to capitalize on any opportunity and the scored remained 2-0 until late in the frame. With 3:07 to play in regulation, a timeout was called and OSU opted for the extra attacker when they returned to the ice.
It did not take long for the Irish to take advantage of the empty net on the opposite end of the ice as Cole Knuble scored his first with the Irish to give Notre Dame the 3-0 victory.
GOALS
The Irish entered the offensive zone on an odd-man rush as Landon Slaggert, Cole Knuble and Patrick Moynihan outnumbered the Buckeye defenders to set up the eventual game-winning play. Moynihan’s shot from the top of the circle sailed wide where Knuble gathered it along the halfwall and fired it back towards the net. Moynihan’s second shot trickled into the crease where a sprawled out Terness frantically felt around for the puck. The graduate forward beat him to it and buried one last shot for the 1-0 tally. With the primary assist on the play, Knuble scored his first collegiate point while it was Moynihan’s first in an Irish sweater.
Moynihan scored again, this time just over halfway through the second period with a shot off the backhand from a tight angle. Danny Nelson won the draw at the far faceoff dot where Moynihan picked up the puck and fed it over to Landon before getting the puck again behind the net and sending a backhand shot off the netminder for the 2-0 score.
After picking up his first collegiate point with less than five seconds remaining in the first period, Knuble closed out the scoring Saturday night with an empty net goal at 17:48 of the third for the 3-0 final. Landon picked up the lone assist on the play for his first three-point night of the season and ties his career high, also recorded against Ohio State (Jan. 14, 2022).
KEY STATS
Ryan Bischel’s 26- save night gives him his third shutout of the season which leads the nation. He now boasts 10 career shutouts.
The Irish outshot the opposition 31-26 Saturday night and saw two Irish forwards net their first career goals for the Blue and Gold.
With the game-winning goal in the final minute of the first period, Patrick Moynihan scored his first goal in a Notre Dame sweater before Cole Knuble iced the game with his first collegiate goal at 17:48 of the third.
Landon Slaggert’s three assists marks a career high for the senior and ties his all-time best point total for a single game.
With an assist on the second goal of the night, Danny Nelson is now tied for the team-lead in the category.
Drew Bavaro fired eight shots on goal Saturday night for a team high.
UP NEXT
The Irish continue Big Ten play with a road trip north to Minnesota to face the Golden Gophers November 17-18. Puck drop for both games is set for 8 p.m. ET and will be streamed on B1G+.
NOTRE DAME MEN’S BASKETBALL
IRISH 2ND HALF RALLY FALLS SHORT IN 71-61 LOSS TO WESTERN CAROLINA
SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Game two of the Coach Shrewsberry era almost followed a similar script as the season opener. The Notre Dame men’s basketball team (1-1) fell down by double-digits in the first half and clawed its way back into the game late in the second. In fact, the Irish trailed by as much as 17 points to rally within three, but Western Carolina (2-0) produced one final push late to take it 71-61.
The game standout was freshman Carey Booth. The 6-11 forward came off the bench and poured in a team high 20 points, shooting 6-of-12 from the field and an impressive 4-for-8 from beyond the arc.
Freshman point guard Markus Burton followed up his 29-point record breaking debut with 17 on Saturday on 6-of-15 shooting. Julian Roper II was the third and final Irish player in double figures with 12 points on 5-of-12 shooting from the floor. Roper also came one rebound shy of tying his career best with eight. Lastly, Logan Imes may have finished with just two points, four rebounds and three assists but he was the lone Irish player with positive plus-minus on the final stat sheet at +7.
HOW IT HAPPENED
It was a first half in which Notre Dame just couldn’t sink in and find a rhythm. Western Carolina started 8-for-17 versus Notre Dame’s 4-of-15 and jumped out to a double-digit lead up 23-12 at 9:24.
Next, the Irish showed some life with a 10-2 run over the next several minutes, cutting it to one possession, down 25-22. Burton, Imes, Zona and Booth all contributed baskets during this stretch.
However, a few short moments later, the Catamounts got hot and fired off 11 unanswered points over a two-minute 24-second stretch. They maintained that 13-point advantage at the half, up 42-29.
Burton and Booth led the Irish at the midway point with 10 and 9 points, respectively. Together, they were 7-of-13 from the field while the rest of the squad was 4-of-17.
Around the 16-minute mark in the second half, the Irish offense got a little boost and it started with Matt Zona getting offensive rebounds. That ignited second-chance points on back-to-back possessions which led to three-pointers from Roper and Burton. Ultimately, an 8-0 Irish run to cut it to single digits at 46-37.
Yet, the momentum was instantly stymied with an unfortunate media timeout then ensuing Western Carolina 6-0 run.
What came next though was nothing but fight from the home squad as they held the Catamounts scoreless for over a six-minute stretch. Notre Dame cut a 17-point deficit to just three points with 4:48 remaining. The highlight of the 15-3 Irish run – freshman Carey Booth.
In three straight offensive possessions, Booth caught fire with back-to-back-to-back three-pointers. Tae Davis also came up big to make it five straight made Irish field goals.
Yet, the Irish just couldn’t get over that final hump as Western Carolina retaliated with an 8-0 run, with six of those points coming from the free-throw line. WCU then rode that to the 71-61 final.
UP NEXT
The Fighting Irish hit the road for the first time this season when they head to the bright lights of New York. The Irish will compete in next week’s Legend’s Classic emanating from the Barclays Center. Notre Dame will challenge Auburn first on Nov. 16 at 9 p.m. ET, then either Oklahoma State or St. Bonaventure the next day depending on results.

Five current Irish hail from within 115 miles of the Joel & Diane Bloom Wellness and Events Center in Newark: Sonia Citron (Eastchester, N.Y.), Hannah Hidalgo (Haddonfield, N.J.), Nat Marshall (Queens, N.Y.), Olivia Miles (Phillipsburg, N.J.) and Kylee Watson (Linwood, N.J.). While Anna DeWolfe is from Maine, she spent her undergrad years at nearby Fordham.
“It’s going to be a collective homecoming for a lot of players on our team,” Karen and Kevin Keyes Family Head Coach Niele Ivey said this week. “All of them are really excited that they get to play in front of family, friends and former high school teammates and coaches. It’s going to be a special moment for everyone.”
The Irish are seeking their first win of the 2023-24 season after falling to No. 6 South Carolina on Monday. Freshman phenom Hidalgo put the country on notice with her 31 points, which is tied for the most that any ACC player has scored in a single game this season. She also made it to the charity stripe 12 times, which is atop the conference.
“It was great for the world to see what I see every day,” Ivey said of Hidalgo’s performance.
On Sunday, Notre Dame will look to set the tone on defense from the jump. The Gamecocks came out hot in Paris, shooting 50 percent from the floor in the first quarter and only getting better each frame.
The Irish bigs struggled against South Carolina, but Watson and Marshall will have the clear height advantage at NJIT; the Highlanders do not have a player taller than 6-2 on the roster. Notre Dame will also get forward Becky Obinma back for Sunday’s game after she missed Game 1 with a non-COVID illness.
NJIT has played two games this season, first topping Army on Nov. 6 then downing Merrimack on Friday night. Head coach Mike Lane is in his sixth year with the program and holds a 44-94 record.
Against the Black Knights, Alejandra Zuniga and Kenna Squier combined for 39 points. The Highlanders played stout defense as well, notching 8 steals and 7 blocks. Madilyn Dogs and Trinity Williams had 3 blocks each. NJIT held Army to just 15 first-half points.
Friday’s game was much more of a defensive slog, as no player in the game — on either side — had more than 12 points. Trinity Williams led NJIT in scoring and also recorded 5 more blocks to total 8 on the year.
Sunday’s contest begins on ESPN+ at 2 p.m. Notre Dame and NJIT have never played each other.

MUNCIE, Ind. – The Ball State men’s basketball team used a career day from guard Jalin Anderson for a 73-68 win over Old Dominion on Saturday at Worthen Arena.
The Cardinals (2-0) handed the Monarchs (1-1) their first loss of the year in the game between Mid-American Conference and Sun Belt Conference foes (MAC-SBC Challenge). Anderson’s 29 points and nine rebounds were both career highs.
Anderson, a junior transfer from Loyola Marymount, dropped 18 points in the first half to propel Ball State to a 38-36 advantage at the break. He scored six points in the final minute-plus of the game, including an and-1 at the 1:04 mark to put the Cardinals back in front 64-63.
The hosts had the lead for the majority of the contest, with the edge being 10 points at multiple points midway through the first half, but the Monarchs charged back to tie the score at 32 late in the opening period. Old Dominion’s largest lead was four points at 53-49 with 9:14 to play, but a jumper by Anderson and a 3-pointer by Davion Bailey quickly erased the deficit for Ball State
Basheer Jihad (15 points, five rebounds), Mickey Pearson Jr. (13 points, four rebounds) and Davion Bailey (10 points) also scored in double figures for the Cardinals in their first battle against an NCAA Division I opponent of the regular season. Zane Doughty (six points) was the only other player to score for the hosts.
Old Dominion’s Chaunce Jenkins (20 points), Vasean Allette (15) and Tyrone Williams (11 and 10 rebounds) led the Monarch offense. The visitors travel to Arkansas for an SEC game at the Razorbacks on Monday.
The visitors outrebounded Ball State 34-33 and won points in the paint by a wide margin (44-18), but the Cardinals overcame that by making six more 3-pointers (10 to 4) and 15 more free throws (21-6). Old Dominion shot 50.9 percent (29-57) from the field to Ball State’s 39.6 percent (21-53).
The MAC-SBC Challenge will continue for the Cardinals on Feb. 10 with a trip to play a yet-to-be-determined Sun Belt Team.
Ball State is scheduled to host Oakland City at 7 p.m. on Tuesday at Worthen in the final game of its season-opening homestand before traveling to Evansville on Saturday to play the Aces.

DEFENSE & OFFENSE SHINES IN WBB’S ROAD WIN AT TROY
TROY, Ala. – The Cardinals proved to be road warriors today as the Ball State women’s basketball team defeated Troy by a score of 86-71 Saturday evening at Trojan Arena.
The Cardinals (2-0) succeeded in a lot of areas in today’s game but the one that struck out the most was Ball State’s first half scoring over the Trojans (0-1).
Ball State started the game off strong in the first stanza opening the game with a 21-5 run that was capped off by a 3-pointer from Madelyn Bischoff. It set the tone as the Cardinals finished the first half outscoring Troy 47-32 in the first 20 minutes of action and were able to take a 15-point advantage over the Trojans into halftime.
The Cardinals remained in control the remainder of the contest leading by 19 points (70-51) with under a minute remaining after a layup in the paint from Hana Mühl heading in the final quarter of play. The fourth quarter mimicked the third, Troy picked up its defense and were able to come within 11 (75-64) at the 7:01 mark but that was as close as the Trojans could come within reach of the Cardinals the remainder of the contest.
For the game, Madelyn Bischoff had a season high 22 points while Annie Rauch finished the game with 17 points. Ana Barreto scored a personal best 13 points and Nyla Hampton rounded out the double figure scoring with 12 points.

BALL STATE VOLLEYBALL
WVB CELEBRATES SENIOR NIGHT WITH 3-2 WIN OVER NIU
MUNCIE, Ind. – – In another thrilling finish at Worthen Arena, the Ball State women’s volleyball team celebrated its six-member 2023 senior class with an epic 3-2 (25-14, 21-25, 25-11, 19-25, 15-11) victory over Northern Illinois Saturday evening.
“Sending our seniors out with a win is certainly a really special piece,” head coach Kelli Miller Phillips said. “This group has meant so much. It’s an emotional day and an emotional weekend. You really want to put all your energy and all your joy to play for them. While a 3-0 sweep would have been great, we found a way to win and that is what’s most important.”
With the win, the Cardinals (16-12; 13-4 Mid-American Conference) improved to 37-3 in Worthen Arena over the last three seasons (Fall 2021 – 2023) and have now won its last 27 MAC regular season home matches.
” This group has been a huge part of building a winning culture,” Phillips added. “Each person has had a little different touch that they have added, and they have continued to help us in different ways on-court, off-court, with the culture in general and with the behavior. It’s an everyday standard and each of them bring a little something different that is so important to our whole. It’s something that will continue for years on out because of the touch they had on the program.”
More importantly, with the win and a Buffalo loss at Bowling Green, Ball State has moved into second in the league standings and can secure a first-round bye in next weekend’s MAC Women’s Volleyball Championship with a win Wednesday at Toledo.
While it may have looked easy in sets one and three Saturday, with the Ball State never trailing in either frame, it was anything but in a second consecutive back-and-forth battle with the Huskies (8-21; 6-11 MAC).
With NIU winning the second and fourth frames, the Senior Night thriller came down to a race to 15 points. The Huskies would even take an early 6-3 advantage in the final set before kills from sophomore opposite Madison Buckley and fifth-year middle Marie Plitt helped even the score at six.
Northern Illinois would take the lead again, at 7-6, before senior outside Cait Snyder shifted the momentum back to the home side of the court. Plitt would follow with a solo block, leading into the court switch, then add a kill to force a Huskies timeout at 9-7.
NIU would battle back one more time, scoring two straight to even the score at nine, before back-to-back blasts from redshirt freshman outside Aniya Kennedy, who led all players with 22 kills, gave Ball State the lead for good.
Buckley would put the Cardinals up 13-11 with her career-best 16th kill of the night and followed a Huskies attack error by combining with freshman middle Camryn Wise for a match-winning block assist.
Plitt finished her senior night with 10 kills and five total blocks, including three solo stuffs. Snyder, who will be returning for the 2024 season, chipped in eight kills and two digs.
In the backcourt, fifth-year libero Havyn Gates added 20 more digs in her final regular season home match, giving her six matches with 20-or-more digs this season. Junior defensive specialist Kendall Seimet also reached double figures for the sixth time this season with 13.
In addition, senior defensive specialist Kate Vinson added eight digs on her senior night, while senior defensive specialist Zoe Conway was also able to aid in the victory.
Back on the offensive front, junior Megan Wielonski set Ball State to a .237 (66-26-169) hitting percentage, tying her season high with 57 assists. She also collected 12 digs for her 15th double-double of the season. The offensive effort also included five kills from Wise and five from freshman outside Kendall Barnes.
On the other side of the net, Ball State limited NIU to a .144 (48-25-160) hitting mark. Nikolette Nedic and Emily Dykes led the Huskies with 14 kills each, while Crew Hoffmeier was credited with 34 digs.
The Cardinals close the 2023 regular season Wednesday with a 6 p.m. serve at Toledo.

Sunday’s matchup can be seen with a subscription to ESPN+ and heard on 95.7 FM The Spin.
USI (1-0) welcomes the Mighty Oaks (1-2) for the middle game of a three-game homestand to begin the 2023-24 season. Southern Indiana started the season and the homestand with a 67-63 victory on Monday against Wright State University.
After USI built a lead as big as 15 in the third quarter against the Raiders on Monday, Wright State came back to tie the game with minutes remaining. USI came out ahead in the final minute after a basket by senior forward Meredith Raley (Haubstadt, Indiana) and two late free throws. The Eagles shot nearly 45 percent overall, nearly 55 percent from three, and pulled down 45 rebounds.
On Monday, senior forward Madi Webb (Bedford, Indiana) led the team with 13 points in her USI debut, scoring nine points after halftime toward her second career double-figure performance. She also had eight rebounds. Raley and junior guard Takiya Howard (Chicago, Illinois) each had nine points. Junior guard Vanessa Shafford (Linton, Indiana) scored eight points with a team-best nine rebounds. Redshirt senior guard Addy Blackwell (Bloomington, Indiana) had a nice return to USI’s lineup after missing last season with an injury, recording six points. Freshman forward Chloe Gannon (Manchester, Tennessee) had a solid debut with six points and six boards. Eight USI players played 10 or more minutes and scored at least five points in a balanced scoring effort.
The Screaming Eagles’ top returning scorers heading into 2023-24 were Raley and Shafford, who both averaged 13 points per outing last year. Shafford was the team’s top rebounder with 7.1 rebounds per game last season, and she was the nation’s fourth-best three-point shooter at a 46.8 clip. Both Raley and Shafford were 2023-24 Preseason All-OVC selections.
Oakland City is an NAIA program from just up the road north of Evansville. Last season, the Mighty Oaks went 22-10 overall and 14-4 in River States Conference play. Despite falling in the semifinals of the RSC Tournament, OCU earned bids into the NAIA National Tournament and the NCCAA National Tournament.
This year, the Mighty Oaks have received votes in the early season NAIA Women’s Basketball Coaches Top 25 Rankings. OCU began its season with a narrow 81-77 loss at the University of Evansville on November 2. Recently, Oakland City won at Cumberland University, 68-49, on Friday before falling to Lindsey Wilson College, 75-61, on Saturday. Mighty Oaks senior forward Jalaya Dowell led OCU in Friday’s win with 19 points and in Saturday’s loss with 13 points.
Through three games, Dowell paces Oakland City at 13.3 points per game. She also has a team-best five rebounds and 2.3 blocks per contest. Senior guard Marissa Austin is averaging 12 points in three games played, posting 15 points against Evansville and 13 points against Cumberland on Friday. Austin had a team-high 11 points in last year’s meeting against USI. Senior guard Emilee Hope has registered nine points per game and leads the team with 3.7 assists per outing. She poured in 19 points against Evansville to open the season. Hope surpassed 1,000 career points last season.
USI leads the all-time series against OCU, 26-11. The Eagles defeated the Mighty Oaks 87-39 in last year’s season-opening contest for the Screaming Eagles’ first win as an NCAA Division I program. Southern Indiana had three players score double digits in that game, including 14 points from Raley and 12 from Shafford. USI has won five straight in the series, which dates back to 1975-76. Oakland City’s last win in the series history was a six-point victory in the 1991-92 season.
On Sunday, Southern Indiana will be looking for another 2-0 start like last season when the Screaming Eagles captured consecutive home wins against Oakland City and Western Illinois University to begin the 2022-23 campaign.

VALPO WOMEN’S SOCCER
RUN COMES TO END IN NCAA TOURNAMENT FOR SOCCER SATURDAY
Buoyed by tremendous fan support from a large contingent, the Valpo soccer team brought a valiant battle to the pitch Saturday evening in first-round NCAA Tournament action at #9 Notre Dame, as the match was deadlocked past halftime before the Fighting Irish scored a pair of second-half goals for a 2-0 victory over the Beacons. The loss ends Valpo’s tremendous season with an 11-6-6 overall record.
How It Happened
Behind the stellar goalkeeping of senior Nikki Coryell (Aurora, Ill./Metea Valley), the Beacons kept the Irish off the scoreboard over the opening 45 minutes. Coryell made seven saves in the first half, with highlights including a leaping punch over the bar in the seventh minute, a diving stop in the 18th minute and a save laying out to her left in the 28th minute.
Valpo’s best chance of the opening half came courtesy of junior Addy Joiner (Chesterton, Ind./Chesterton) in the 27th minute on a set piece. Joiner took a free kick from about 25 yards out and sent it towards the far post along the ground, but it scooted wide of the post.
Notre Dame got on the board with its first shot of the second half, as Ellie Ospeck finished from close range in the 49th minute.
The Irish got an insurance tally in the 83rd minute, as Charlie Codd’s shot ricocheted off the far post and in.
Fifth-year Allie Anderson (Wheaton, Ill./Wheaton Warrenville South [Xavier]) hit a shot from distance in the 86th minute in an effort to halve the deficit, but it went over the bar.
Inside the Match
The NCAA Tournament appearance was the third in program history. All three times (2005, 2014, 2023), Valpo has played at Notre Dame in the first round.
Coryell ended up making a season-high nine saves in limiting Notre Dame to the two goals.
Inside the Season
The Beacons finished the campaign with 11 wins, tied for fourth-most in a single season in program history.
Valpo won its third conference tournament in program history by claiming the MVC Tournament title, in the process becoming the first Valpo Athletics program to win an MVC Tournament championship.
Valpo finished nonconference play with a 4-2-2 record, the program’s best record in nonconference play in a season since 2014.
Coryell and the Beacons posted nine clean sheets on the season — Coryell ranks fourth on Valpo’s single-season chart and tied for fourth on the MVC single-season chart, while the nine shutouts are tied for fourth in a season as a team in program history.
Coryell played 2,090 minutes in goal, the most by a goalkeeper in a season in program history and second in MVC history. She also ranked sixth in a single season in program history in both GAA (0.86) and save percentage (.831), and 10th in saves (98) as well.
Senior Lindsey DuSatko (Plainfield, Ill./North) tallied a team-high five assists on the season, tied for fourth in a single season in program history. Joiner scored a team-high nine goals this year to move into ninth in program history in that category.
Inside the Careers
Three members of this year’s roster were in their fifth season of collegiate soccer.
Nicole Norfolk (Menomonee Falls, Wis./Divine Savior Holy Angels) played all five years at Valpo, setting program records for matches played (88) and matches started (87) as an integral center back. A three-time All-MVC honoree, including First Team recognition each of the last two years, Norfolk finished with five career goals and six assists.
Anderson appeared in 56 matches, starting 52 times, over her three years at Valpo. A two-time All-MVC honoree, she tallied three goals and nine assists in the Valpo uniform.
While Abbey Hillman (Naperville, Ill./Naperville Central [Loyola]) was sidelined due to injury this year, she was an MVC Scholar-Athlete First Team choice last year and appeared in 35 matches in the Brown and Gold, starting 25 times.
All six members of the Beacons’ senior class will have the option to potentially return for a fifth season, as their freshman campaign coincided with the COVID-affected season, but inevitably at least some of their collegiate careers came to an end on Saturday.
Coryell matched Valpo’s program record for matches played by a goalkeeper with 71. The four-time All-MVC honoree and three-time MVC Goalkeeper of the Year, Coryell is first in program history with an .830 save percentage, first in MVC history and second in Valpo history with 28 clean sheets, and third in program history and eighth in MVC history with an 0.87 GAA.
DuSatko has appeared in 67 matches over the last four years, starting 58 times. A three-time All-MVC honoree, she is tied for fifth all-time at Valpo with 11 career assists and also has scored 11 goals.
Cassidy Eckstein (Carmel, Ind./Carmel) has appeared in 69 matches in the midfield over the last four years, starting on 32 occasions. She tallied a match-winning goal as a sophomore at Chicago State.
Kelsie James (Carmel, Ind./Carmel) saw action in 67 matches on Valpo’s front line over the last four years, starting 41 times. A First Team All-MVC selection in 2021, James has scored 13 goals, ranks third in program history with 12 assists and is 10th in program history with 38 points.
Aubrey Ramey (Jacksonville, Fla./The Bolles School [DePaul]) started all 23 of her appearances this year in her first season at Valpo, the first field player in program history to start 23 matches in a season. She was a key part of the Beacons’ back line this year, tallied a pair of assists and was named to the MVC All-Tournament Team.
Chase Ray (Bellevue, Ohio/Bellevue) appeared in 71 matches in the midfield over the last four years, starting 41 times. She picked up three goals and an assist this year as a senior, including a match-winner in MVC play against Indiana State.
Thoughts From Coach Marovich
“Great fight by our group. I think all year we’ve been disciplined, we try to stay really organized defensively, and we did that. We kept the game in front of us and did a really great job for 49 minutes. To their credit, they’re a really good side, they’ve got very talented players – some of their uniqueness came out in those moments and got them a result. That doesn’t take away from our effort – every player that stepped out there tonight left their heart on the field, and I have the utmost respect for that.”
“This group has meant so many things to me – I don’t know if I can put into words all the things they mean. Maybe all you need to know is the number of people who came out here tonight. This group has done so many things on our campus – not just in athletics, but in their sororities, with The Torch, with everything on campus relating to their particular majors. They’re just so invested in this University. I told them in the circle, what they did was they have a light that they have burnt with our program and in our athletic department that will never be extinguished. It will always shine that bright, because they brought that energy, they brought that passion to the game, but they also brought fun to the locker room, they brought intensity to the classroom, they brought friendships across campus. To me, that is everything that our University stands for. When I think of Valparaiso University, I will think of this special group.”
“It made me extremely proud to see the amazing turnout. Thank you to Valparaiso University, the community – all we heard all week was how proud people were of us, how much they were behind us. This is what our campus and University needs, we need this kind of support. That level of support makes such an impact on our players – it was so impressive, and just moved me to see that support.”
VALPO FOOTBALL
VALPO FOOTBALL CELEBRATES SENIORS WITH OVERTIME VICTORY OVER STETSON
Two individual redemption tales helped lead the Valparaiso University football team to one story of team celebration on Saturday.
Max Samuel (Edina, Minn. / Edina) was called for a costly roughing the punter penalty that turned a Stetson fourth-and-21 into an automatic first down. Ryan Hawk (Columbus, Ohio / Bishop Hartley) missed a key extra point. But it’s not those moments from a 23-20 overtime win over Stetson at Brown Field on Senior Day that defined their day, but instead how they responded when adversity struck. Samuel went on to block two punts – perhaps the two biggest plays of the game – while Hawk’s redemption moment was just as crucial in the game’s outcome, as he had plenty of leg on a 34-yard field goal in overtime that proved to be the game winner.
How It Happened
Both teams punted on their first drive, but Stetson recovered a muffed punt after their initial drive stalled. The Valpo defense picked up the special teams unit by forcing another three-and-out and a punt.
Stetson made a defensive interception to take over at the Valpo 43, but the Beacon defense again stepped up by forcing a three-and-out.
Quarterback Rowan Keefe (Park Ridge, Ill. / Maine South) had a pair of completions on the next drive, but it still resulted in a punt. The biggest offensive play of the first quarter by either team came on the final play as Stetson completed a 44-yard pass to finally climb into positive yardage for the game in total offense.
The Hatters struck first with a 25-yard field goal early in the second quarter. After a Valpo interception, a four-yard touchdown run by Devon Brewer extended the lead to 10-0 with 5:20 on the second-quarter clock.
Valpo’s third interception of the half allowed Stetson to take over, but the Beacons overcame that turnover thanks to Samuel’s blocked punt, which was recovered in the end zone by Micah Mackay (Zionsville, Ind. / Lutheran) for a touchdown to make it 10-7 with 34 seconds left in the second quarter.
The Valpo defense forced two punts early in the second half, and the Beacons found paydirt when Jeffery Vercher’s (Nashville, Tenn. / Franklin Road Academy) 36-yard run set up a 1-yard go-ahead scoring plunge by Ryan Mann (Vernon Hills, Ill. / Vernon Hills [Northern Illinois]) to make it 13-10 Valpo. The PAT was missed.
The Hatters responded with an 11-play, 75-yard TD drive to go back ahead at 17-13.
Valpo turned it over on downs early in the fourth, but the ensuing Stetson possession resulted in a punt and Samuel’s second block of the day. This one was picked up by Vercher and taken 51 yards to the Stetson 6.
Valpo converted on the short field when Jeffrey Jackson (San Diego, Calif. / Bishop’s [San Diego]) pushed into the end zone for a 1-yard TD to make it 20-17 Valpo.
Stetson tied it with a 41-yard field goal with 1:25 to go, in essence sending the game to OT.
Valpo started OT with possession and Hawk drilled his 34 yarder before the defense got a game-winning stop highlighted by an Evan Annis (Hilliard, Ohio / Hilliard Davidson) sack on third-and-11. The fourth-down play was a heave into the end zone that fell incomplete.
Inside the Game
Valpo outgained Stetson 318-263 and managed to overcome a minus-four disparity in the turnover margin to win the game. Valpo threw three interceptions and muffed a punt, while Stetson did not turn it over.
Samuel has three blocked kicks this season, including two on Saturday. He is now tied for fifth in program history for blocked kicks in a season, joining Brett Bittner (Fall 2021) and Adam Rundh (2008).
Samuel is only the eighth player in the FCS nation to block multiple kicks in a single game this season. He is only the 11th in all of Division-I football (FCS and FBS). Owen Goss of Colgate is the only player nationally to block three kicks in one game this year.
This marked Valpo’s second OT game of the season and sixth one-score game. Four of the five home games this season were decided by one score including a pair that went to overtime.
Mann ran for a personal-best 121 yards on 25 carries. The touchdown was the third of his career, all this season.
Jackson had his first rushing touchdown of the season and the second of his Valpo career.
Mackay’s recovery of the block for a punt-return TD was his first collegiate score. He also had a 33-yard catch.
Colin Graves (Seattle, Wash. / Bishop Blanchet) and Austin Chilton (Windermere, Fla. / West Orange) had 10 tackles apiece to lead the team. Chilton boasted seven solos. Annis contributed nine tackles including three tackles for loss and two sacks.
The team notched 10 tackles for loss and five sacks, both season highs.
The defense was credited with nine pass breakups including three by Tyler Geiman (Zion, Ill. / Zion-Benton Township [Dubuque]).
Valpo’s stellar rushing defense was evident again on Saturday. The Hatters could muster only 60 yards on the ground, the seventh time in 10 games that Valpo’s rushing defense has kept the opposition under 80 rushing yards.
The Beacons recognized 25 seniors in a pregame Senior Day ceremony.
UINDY FOOTBALL
HOUNDS EARN CONFERENCE TITLE WITH LOPSIDED WIN AT SOUTHWEST BAPTIST
BOLIVAR, Mo.—The 22nd-ranked UIndy football team capped the 2023 regular season Saturday with a convincing 41-3 win at Southwest Baptist. The Greyhounds moved to 9-1 on the year while earning their ninth outright GLVC title since the league began sponsoring football in 2012.

INS & OUTS
The action started with an eventful first few minutes. After SBU took the opening kickoff, the Greyhound defense looked to have a stop but a successful fake punt kept the Bearcat drive alive. They quickly earned a 1st-and-goal situation but a timely interception by KJ Roudebush flipped the script.
Two offensive snaps later, sophomore quarterback Gavin Sukup hit a streaking Markez Gilllam in stride for a 79-yard touchdown play, and the Greyhounds were off and running.
They tacked on with a pair of rushing TDs from the Lewis boys before halftime. Jon Lewis punched it in from three yards late in the first quarter, while Cobi Lewis (no relation) capped the first half with a four-yard score.
The game-clinching sequence came in the back half of the third quarter when the deficit quickly snowballed to 35 points. In a matter of three minutes of game time, UIndy strung together a 77-yard TD reception (Kaleb Carver), a defensive takeaway (forced fumble by KJ Roudebush, recovered by San Flowers), and a 17-yard touchdown catch (Cobi Lewis) to put it out of reach.
The final Greyhound score came on a 45-yard scamper by senior Kellen Porter early in the fourth. Later, the shutout was finally came to an end on a 48-yard field goal against the UIndy reserves with 1:03 to go.
INSIDE THE BOX
-Sukup carved up the SBU defense, finishing a deadly 18-for-20 for a season-high 357 and three touchdowns.
-The Bearcats, meanwhile, managed just 90 yards through the air and were more than doubled up in total yards (535-245).
-Flowers led the Hounds with seven tackles, while Roudebush forced both SBU turnovers and added two tackles for a loss.
-Ten UIndy ball carriers combined for 176 rushing yards, with Porter (58 yds) and Jon Lewis (53) leading the way.
MORE NOTES
UIndy is now 8-1 all-time versus SBU. The Hounds’ average margin of victory in the last six matchups versus the Bearcats is a healthy 39.5 points.

MARIAN ERUPTS FOR 95 POINTS IN WIN OVER ST. FRANCIS (ILL.)

Ella Collier started off the game with a 3-pointer to put the Knights in the lead. After a layup by Abbey McNally, the Knights found themselves in a scoring drought. St. Francis took their first and only lead of the game with 6:23 left to play. The Knights reclaimed the lead a little over a minute later as Allison Bosse found Collier to make the score 7-6. Marian went on a scoring spree to end the first quarter adding 14 points, while holding the Saints to an additional seven points, ending the quarter at 21-13.
After a strong start to the game, Aliyah Evans got things moving for the Knights to start off the second quarter with a layup off the hands of Tamia Perryman. St. Francis answered with a three but that did not stop Perryman from returning the favor with an and one. The two teams traded buckets for the next few minutes with Marian maintaining the lead. Josie Trabel and Kinnidy Garrard combined for the next 12 points to boost the Knight’s lead to 48-23. The Saints added five more points before the end of the half, with Collier putting an end to their streak with a jumper assisted by Jayla Wehner.
Marian continued to build upon their lead after back-to-back buckets from McNally extended their lead to 29 with 6:30 to play in quarter three. A three-pointer and free throw from the Saints ended the run, but the Knights kept their foot on the gas as they erupted for an 11-0 spurt that was capped off by a Bosse triple. St. Francis tried to shift the momentum in the final minutes of the quarter, but it was Marian holding the 77-39 advantage going into the final quarter of play.
Kiley McNally fueled the Marian offense to begin the fourth quarter with four straight points, before Eva Fisher scored a pair of baskets and Oliva Faust canned the three ball to put the Knights on top by 38.

MARIAN FOOTBALL
SEVENTH-RANKED KNIGHTS DEFEAT SIENA HEIGHTS 24-14 FOR SENIOR DAY VICTORY
INDIANAPOLIS – The Marian football team rebounded into the win column on Saturday after suffering their first defeat a week ago, taking down Siena Heights 24-14 for a senior day victory. The Knights end the regular season with a 9-1 overall record and 6-1 mark in the MSFA Mideast League, as they earn a share of the MSFA regular season championship.
Marian wasted little time putting the first points of the game on the board, as they marched the the field in five plays for a touchdown after a strong kickoff return from David Badescu. A 17-yard run from Zach Bundalo highlighted the 45-yard scoring drive, as the quarterback capped the series with a touchdown pass to Jalen Jennings from 22-yards out. Marian’s 7-0 lead would hold for the remainder of the quarter, as the defense made play after play, forcing an early three-and-out while following with a turnover on downs.
The Knights had possession of the ball at the end of the first quarter as they looked to tack on to their lead, but their third possession of the game ended in a turnover as Bundalo was dropped for a loss on fourth and three, with a fumble going to the Saints. Siena Heights capitalized on the turnover, and responded with a 53-yard scoring drive of their own, with the Saints running back Ethan LoPresto scampering in from two yards out.
Bundalo and the offense wasted little time responding with a score of their own, as the senior quarterback connected with Tirae Spence for a 74-yard score, taking 10 seconds for the Knights to find the end zone for a second time and reclaim the lead. The Marian defense responded after the score and forced a three-and-out when returning to the field, and a missed field goal on the next Siena Heights offensive possession kept the home team in front by seven. A Tyler Bukur sack helped stall out the final Saints drive of the first half as Marian took over pinned at their four with less than one minute on the clock, as they ran out the clock to take a 14-7 lead to the half.
In the third quarter Marian called on their defense early to get stops, with Deon Pettiford and Nate Frey helping lead the unit to prevent Saints scores on their first two possessions. Marian’s first possession of the second half chewed up over five minutes of clock but ended with a long missed field goal attempt, but on their second crack they found the end zone. The five-play series following a Saints punt was highlighted by a 39-yard completion to Drew Byerly, with a 29-yard rushing touchdown from Keagan La Belle capping the 79-yard drive.
La Belle’s score put Marian on top 21-7 to double the lead, but the Saints quickly found an answer as they benefited from a holding penalty to set up a 49-yard touchdown pass. Siena Heights’ score with 33 seconds remaining in the third quarter set the score at 21-14 in favor of the home team entering the final quarter.
The Knights’ defense was tasked with finishing the game strong, and they answered the call as Joe Apata pounced on a fumble on Siena’s opening possession of the final period. Marian scored off the fumble with a 28-yard connection from Bundalo to CJ Young setting up a 33-yard field goal for Marlon Pomili, driving the score to 24-14.
The Saints would touch the ball one final time, but their five-play series was ended by Deon Pettiford and Jake Paris sack and incomplete pass, giving the ball to Marian with 5:53 remaining on the clock. Senior William Gibson ensured that the Knights would end the game with the ball, as he picked up 20 yards on the series, and a 23-yard gash from Keagan La Belle gave Marian their final first down of the afternoon. Three kneels from Bundalo closed the victory, as Marian claimed a share of the MSFA Mideast Championship.
Bundalo ended the game throwing for 230 yards and a pair of touchdowns, with his long throw of 74 yards to Tirae Spence going for one of his two scores. La Belle led the team in rushing with 81 yards and a score, while Gibson ran for 71 yards on his 18 carries. Young finished the game with four snags for 56 yards, and Byerly had 47 yards receiving.
Paris led the Marian defense in tackles with seven, and Jayshawn Underwood finished with six including his two pass break ups. Joe Owens and Nate Frey each had six tackles, and Tyler Bukur led Marian with two tackles for loss including a sack as part of his six stops. Joe Apata also recorded a sack and recovered a fumble, making two tackles for loss in the win.
The Knights will learn their NAIA Football Championship Series destiny on Sunday night, as the NAIA will announce the bracket for the 2023 Championship. The selection show will air on the NAIA YouTube Channel at 7 p.m.
