NFL ROUNDUP: JARED GOFF, LIONS TORCH COWBOYS
Jared Goff passed for 315 yards and three touchdowns but Detroit lost top defensive player Aidan Hutchinson in a 47-9 thumping of Dallas in Arlington, Texas on Sunday.
Hutchinson suffered a serious left leg injury in the third quarter while sacking Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott and was carted off the field. After the game, Lions coach Dan Campbell said it was a tibia injury and that Hutchinson would remain in the Dallas area while the team flew back to Detroit.
David Montgomery rushed for 80 yards and two touchdowns for the Lions (4-1), who have won three in a row.
Prescott passed for 178 yards and was intercepted twice, both by Brian Branch, as the Cowboys (3-3) dropped to 0-3 in home games. Cooper Rush relieved Prescott and was 8-for-11 passing for 46 yards and an interception. CeeDee Lamb had seven catches for 89 yards for Dallas.
Bears 35, Jaguars 16
Rookie Caleb Williams tossed a career-best four touchdown passes to lead Chicago over Jacksonville at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. His four scoring tosses helped the Bears (4-2) win their third game in a row.
Williams continued to impress, completing 23 of 29 passes for 226 yards and an interception. He also ran for 56 yards on four attempts. It was Williams’ third multi-touchdown performance in his past four starts. He finished with a 124.4 passer rating.
Jacksonville (1-5) failed to put together back-to-back wins after snapping a four-game losing streak last week. Trevor Lawrence completed 23 of 35 passes for 234 yards and threw two touchdown passes and an interception. The pick led to a 1-yard touchdown by D’Andre Swift early in the fourth quarter to give the Bears their final points of the game.
Colts 20, Titans 17
Joe Flacco threw two touchdown passes, including the game-winner in the fourth quarter as Indianapolis rallied for a win over Tennessee in Nashville, Tenn.
Flacco, who was 22 of 38 for 189 yards and an interception, found Michael Pittman Jr. for a 5-yard strike on third-and-9 with 7:27 left as Indianapolis improved to 3-3. John Downs had seven catches for 66 yards and a score for the Colts, who won despite star running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) missing his second straight game.
In his first start since Sept. 30, Tennessee quarterback Will Levis hit 16 of 27 passes for only 95 yards with a touchdown and a fourth-quarter interception. Tony Pollard rushed for a game-high 93 yards and a touchdown for the Titans (1-4), who are 0-3 at home.
Eagles 20, Browns 16
A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith each caught a touchdown pass in their return to action as Philadelphia held off visiting Cleveland, handing the Browns their fourth straight loss.
Smith missed the previous game with a concussion, while Brown sat out the last three contests with a hamstring injury. In this one, they combined for nine catches for 180 yards from Jalen Hurts (16-of-25 passing, 264 yards, two TDs, no turnovers) as the Eagles (3-2) survived down the stretch.
Smith broke a 13-13 tie with 7:54 remaining when he caught a shallow cross and ran unobstructed down the right sideline for a 45-yard touchdown. Cleveland (1-5) settled for Dustin Hopkins’ 31-yard field goal with 3:54 left but the Eagles ran out the clock from there.
Texans 41, Patriots 21
C.J. Stroud threw for three touchdowns to lift Houston to a win over New England in Foxborough, Mass.
Stroud completed 20 of 31 passes for 192 yards and was picked off once as Houston (5-1) spoiled Drake Maye’s first career start. Maye, selected third overall by New England in this year’s draft, finished with 243 yards, three scores and two picks on 20-of-33 passing. His 40-yard strike to Kayshon Boutte before the first half was his first NFL TD pass.
Joe Mixon returned from a three-game absence to rack up 132 yards from scrimmage (102 rushing, 30 receiving) for the Texans. He rushed for a touchdown and caught another. Stefon Diggs was one of Stroud’s favorite targets, hauling in six catches for 77 yards and a score.
After seeing its first five drives end in four punts and a pick, New England (1-5) came to life just before the break, pulling within 14-7 on Maye’s 40-yard scoring strike to Kayshon Boutte with 11 seconds left in the first half. It was Maye’s first career passing TD.
Packers 34, Cardinals 13
Jordan Love matched his career best of four touchdown passes to lead Green Bay to an easy victory over visiting Arizona.
Love completed 22 of 32 passes for 258 yards with one interception to help the Packers (4-2) win their second straight game. Love has thrown 10 touchdown passes in three games since returning from a knee injury. Green Bay’s Romeo Doubs caught two touchdown passes one week after serving a suspension for conduct detrimental to the team.
Kyler Murray also was 22-of-32 passing while accumulating 214 yards and one touchdown for the Cardinals (2-4), who lost for the third time in four games. Michael Wilson caught a touchdown pass while Trey McBride had eight receptions for 96 yards. Arizona’s Marvin Harrison Jr. sustained a first-half concussion and missed the rest of the game.
Buccaneers 51, Saints 27
Baker Mayfield passed for 325 yards and four touchdowns and visiting Tampa Bay defeated New Orleans. Mayfield overcame three interceptions to complete a tumultuous week in which the Bucs (4-2) relocated to New Orleans on Tuesday to avoid Hurricane Milton.
Sean Tucker racked up 192 yards from scrimmage (136 rushing, 56 receiving) with two touchdowns, and Chris Godwin had 11 catches for 125 yards and two touchdowns as Tampa Bay squandered a 17-0 first-quarter lead before outscoring the Saints 27-0 in the second half and finishing with 594 yards.
Rookie Spencer Rattler made his NFL debut in place of the injured Derek Carr and passed for 243 yards and one touchdown with two interceptions for the Saints (2-4), who lost their fourth straight.
Ravens 30, Commanders 23
Lamar Jackson threw for 323 yards and a touchdown as Baltimore (4-2) earned a victory over Washington and rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels. Jackson was 20-of-26 passing with an interception and added 40 yards rushing on 11 carries, while improving to 22-3 against NFC teams.
Ravens running back Derrick Henry had 132 yards on 24 carries with two touchdowns while becoming the first player to rush for a touchdown in each of his first six games since LaDainian Tomlinson in 2005.
Daniels was 24-of-35 passing for 269 yards and two touchdowns, while also leading the Commanders (4-2) with 22 rushing yards on six attempts.
Steelers 32, Raiders 13
Justin Fields passed for 145 yards and rushed for 59 yards and two touchdowns, and Pittsburgh pulled away for a win over host Las Vegas.
Najee Harris had 14 carries for 106 yards and a touchdown for Pittsburgh (4-2), which snapped a two-game skid. Chris Boswell added four field goals. Russell Wilson was active for the first time this season but served as the backup to Fields.
Aidan O’Connell completed 27 of 40 passes for 227 yards, one touchdown and one interception in his first start of the season for Las Vegas (2-4). Alexander Mattison had a rushing touchdown and Kristian Wilkerson had a touchdown catch.
Chargers 23, Broncos 16
Justin Herbert passed for 237 yards and a touchdown and Cameron Dicker kicked three field goals as visiting Los Angeles defeated Denver.
Los Angeles (3-2) scored the first 23 points before holding on to stop the Broncos’ three-game winning streak. Denver fell to 3-3. Quarterback Bo Nix was 19-for-33 passing for 216 yards with two touchdowns and an interception.
Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh briefly exited the game in the first quarter with an illness, which Harbaugh revealed in his postgame press conference was arrhythmia. Harbaugh was examined in the team’s medical tent on the sideline before being taken to the locker room for further evaluation. He returned to the sideline soon after.
Falcons 38, Panthers 20
Bijan Robinson ran for two touchdowns, Tyler Allgeier gained 105 yards on the ground and Atlanta fended off Carolina to win in Charlotte, N.C.
Kirk Cousins threw for 225 yards and a touchdown without an interception as the Falcons (4-2) won their third game in a row — all against NFC South rivals. Allgeier, who posted a touchdown and a two-point conversion run, had 18 carries and Robinson picked up 95 rushing yards on 15 attempts.
Andy Dalton threw for 221 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions as the Panthers (1-5) remained winless in three home games. Chuba Hubbard rushed for 92 yards.

OREGON MOVES TO NO. 2, PENN STATE NO. 3 IN AP TOP 25 POLL
After pulling off thrilling victories on Saturday, Oregon and Penn State both moved up a spot, to No. 2 and No. 3, respectively, behind No. 1 Texas in the AP Top 25 college football poll Sunday.
In quarterback Quinn Ewers’ return, Texas dominated then-No. 18 Oklahoma 34-3 in the Red River Rivalry game, bouncing the Sooners from the rankings and solidifying its hold on the top spot. The Longhorns (6-0, 2-0 Southeastern Conference) garnered four more first-place votes (56) than last week, with the other six going to Oregon.
The Ducks (6-0, 3-0 Big Ten) fended off visiting Ohio State 32-31 in a wild conference matchup — featuring seven lead changes — and dropped the Buckeyes (5-1, 2-1) to No. 4.
Oregon had not been ranked this high since losing to Ohio State in the inaugural College Football Playoff championship game and finishing the 2014 season at No. 2.
Penn State (6-0, 3-0 Big Ten) is enjoying its highest ranking in seven years after overcoming a 14-point, second-half deficit and edging host Southern California 33-30 on Ryan Barker’s overtime field goal.
Georgia topped visiting Mississippi State 41-31 to remain No. 5, followed by Miami, Alabama, LSU (up five spots after beating then-No. 9 Ole Miss 29-26), Iowa State and Clemson to round out the top 10.
Ole Miss (5-2, 1-2 SEC) experienced the poll’s biggest fall, dropping nine spots to No. 18 with its second loss in three weeks.
Army (6-0) and Navy (5-0) made their season debuts in the poll at Nos. 23 and 25 and are ranked together for the first time since 1960.
Upset 27-19 by unranked Arizona State for its second straight loss, then-No. 16 Utah fell out of the Top 25.

DODGERS POUND METS TO OPEN NL CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES
LOS ANGELES — Jack Flaherty went seven scoreless innings, Shohei Ohtani had two hits and scored twice, and the Los Angeles Dodgers rolled to a 9-0 victory over the visiting New York Mets in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series on Sunday.
Daniel Hudson and Ben Casparius each pitched an inning for the Dodgers, who extended their scoreless streak to 33 consecutive innings to tie a postseason record. Los Angeles has not allowed a run since the second inning of Game 3 in the NL Division Series against the San Diego Padres.
Mookie Betts had a three-run double, Max Muncy had a two-run single and Freddie Freeman had two hits with an RBI while playing on a sprained right ankle as the Dodgers won their fifth consecutive game over the Mets going back to the regular season.
Flaherty (1-1) gave up two hits with two walks and six strikeouts.
Right-hander Kodai Senga (0-1) gave up three runs with four walks and lasted just 1 1/3 innings for the Mets, who lost an opener for the first time in three series this postseason.
New York had just three hits, all singles.
The Dodgers turned three consecutive walks in the first inning into two runs on Muncy’s single before taking advantage of Senga’s generosity again in the second inning. Gavin Lux walked to lead off the inning and scored on a single by Ohtani for a 3-0 lead.
Ohtani was then thrown out by Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez trying to steal second base, ending his streak of 36 consecutive successful attempts going back to July 22.
The Dodgers took a 4-0 lead in the fourth inning when Enrique Hernandez singled and scored on a Tommy Edman single. Ohtani followed with a single off the right-field wall for a 5-0 advantage, with Edman scoring after right fielder Starling Marte bobbled the ball. Freddie Freeman made it 6-0 on a single to left.
Flaherty did not allow a hit until the Mets’ Jesse Winker opened the fifth with a single. The hit ended the Dodgers’ streak of 28 consecutive batters retired, going back to the third inning of Game 5 in the NLDS.
The Los Angeles scoreless streak is an NL record and tied the Baltimore Orioles major league-best run of 33 consecutive innings in the 1966 World Series that ended in a sweep of the Dodgers.
YANKEES, GUARDIANS EXPRESS MUTUAL RESPECT AHEAD OF ALCS
NEW YORK — The New York Yankees and Cleveland Guardians are well-acquainted with each other in the postseason, but rarely when an American League pennant is on the line.
After finishing with the top two records in the AL, the Yankees and Guardians open up the ALCS Monday night with Game 1 in the best-of-seven series.
“They do it a lot of different ways,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said of the Guardians. “A tremendous bullpen, athletic, they defend really well. They’re pretty balanced in their attack. Obviously, they have a couple of guys that can really hurt you in the middle of the order (with) a superstar player in (Jose) Ramirez.”
New York left-hander Carlos Rodon (0-1, 9.82 ERA) opposes Cleveland right-hander Alex Cobb (0-1, 6.00) in the opener.
The teams are playing each other in the postseason for the seventh time and third time in the past five seasons. The only time they met in the ALCS occurred in 1998, when the Yankees won the final three games to take the series in six.
The Yankees claimed the past three postseason encounters, but those were short series. They won the AL Division Series in 2017 and 2022 and the 2020 wild-card series when the sport expanded the playoffs to 16 teams on account of the 60-game season.
New York earned home-field advantage in the series by going 94-68 and edging Cleveland by 1 1/2 games in the race for the best record. The Yankees are slightly better rested after closing out the ALDS in four games thanks to a 3-1 win at Kansas City on Thursday.
The Yankees hit .220 in the series, where each game was decided by two runs or fewer. While Giancarlo Stanton was 6-for-16 and Juan Soto went 4-for-14, Aaron Judge was 2-for-13.
Cleveland needed five games to get past the Detroit Tigers and is in the ALCS for the first time since 2016. Ramirez was 3-for-16 in the series but Steven Kwan batted .524 (11-for-21) and Lane Thomas batted .316 (6-for-19), including a grand slam off Tarik Skubal in Saturday’s 7-3 win.
The Guardians dropped four of six meetings in the regular season with the Yankees due to inconsistent offense. Cleveland scored 17 runs across the two wins but was outscored 25-5 in the four losses.
“We know the Yankees are good,” Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt said. “They played us tough. This is a really good team we’re about to go up against but we’re confident in who we are, and that’s all we can control is us. It is going to be a fun series, and we’re really looking forward to it.”
Rodon was in line to start Game 5 of the ALDS on Saturday and to avoid giving him a longer layoff, the Yankees opted to start the series with him over Clarke Schmidt, who pitches Game 3 on Thursday.
After winning a career-high 16 games during the regular season, Rodon allowed four runs on seven hits in 3 2/3 innings in a 4-2 loss in Game 2 against Kansas City a week ago. Rodon started quickly and got seven strikeouts but struggled to command his slider during a four-run fourth.
Rodon did not face Cleveland during the regular season and is 8-5 with a 2.81 ERA in 21 career appearances (19 starts) against them, including a no-hitter for the Chicago White Sox on April 14, 2021.
Ramirez has faced Rodon the most of any current Guardian. The third baseman is 10-for-43 (.233) with five RBIs against him.
“It’s a formidable lineup,” Rodon said. “It is very good. They wouldn’t be in the LCS for no reason. It’s going to be a fun challenge, and a lot of respect for that Cleveland team.”
Cobb took the loss in Game 3 against Detroit on Wednesday when he allowed two runs on three hits in three innings while throwing 41 pitches in a 3-0 defeat. He made that start after various injuries limited him to three starts with Cleveland after being acquired from the San Francisco Giants at the trade deadline.
Since Cobb spent 2011 to 2020 in the AL East with the Tampa Bay Rays and Baltimore Orioles, he has plenty of experience against the Yankees. In 20 regular-season starts against New York, he is 7-5 with a 3.19 ERA.
“They’ve seen me plenty over the years, most of the guys have at least,” Cobb said Sunday. “I think the positive is that you’ve gone through all these adversities throughout the year, and you’re sitting here and getting the ball in Game 1 of the ALCS.”

NASCAR NEWS
ALEX BOWMAN DQ’D, PUTTING JOEY LOGANO INTO ROUND OF 8
Joey Logano is moving on in the playoffs, after all. The same cannot be said for Alex Bowman.
Shortly after the checkered flag dropped on the Bank of America ROVAL 400 at the Charlotte Motor Speedway Road Course in Concord, N.C., Bowman’s No. 48 Chevrolet failed post-race inspection, disqualifying Bowman and dropping him from his 18th-place finish to last in 38th.
The loss in points dropped Bowman from nine points to the good of the cutoff between eighth and ninth place in the standings to well below the line. It also elevated Logano from ninth to eighth, making him the last man in the Round of 8.
“Unfortunately, the 48 had an issue (and) did not meet minimum weight,” Brad Moran, managing director of the NASCAR Cup Series, said after inspection. “We put the car to the side. We continued on. We … gave them the opportunity to fuel the car as well as purge the water system and add water. So we gave them every opportunity to make minimum weight. We ran them back through. Unfortunately, they were light again.”
“All the other cars cleared inspection,” Moran continued. “The 48 didn’t, and that ends up in a disqualification.”
Hendrick Motorsports, owner of the 48 team, can appeal the decision.
“If the appeal happens, it’ll be expedited, so it’ll probably happen in the next couple of days,” Moran said. “So really can’t get into all the details of the information, but the car was light, and that’s where we ended up.”
Joining Bowman as drivers eliminated on Sunday are Austin Cindric, Daniel Suarez and Chase Briscoe.
The Round of 8 begins next Sunday in Las Vegas, followed by Homestead-Miami and Martinsville (Va.). The final four drivers will then race for the championship in the NASCAR Cup Series Championship at Phoenix Raceway in Avondale, Ariz., on Nov. 10.

MATT MCCARTY WINS INAUGURAL BLACK DESERT TITLE IN SECOND START
Matt McCarty wasted no time making the most of his rookie season on the PGA Tour, as the newcomer won the inaugural Black Desert Championship on Sunday in Ivins, Utah.
McCarty held the 54-hole lead and was clinging to a one-shot edge when he reached the short par-4 14th hole at Black Desert Resort. An incredible tee shot set up a short eagle putt that tripled his lead.
He wrapped up at 4-under-par 67 that put him at 23-under 261 for the week, three strokes better than Germany’s Stephan Jaeger (68).
McCarty, a lefty-swinging 26-year-old from Arizona, clinched instant promotion to the PGA Tour earlier this year by winning three times on the Korn Ferry Tour. Sunday’s victory, in just his second start of the fall, gave him a two-year exemption on the PGA Tour.
Early in the final round, Lucas Glover and Germany’s Matti Schmid posted matching scores of 9-under 62 to rocket up the leaderboard. Glover rose to 19 under to apply pressure on McCarty before ultimately tying for third with Kevin Streelman (69). Schmid finished fifth at 18 under.
McCarty — who posted a 62 Thursday and a 64 Saturday — birdied two holes on the front nine and bogeyed No. 12 before reaching the 310-yard 14th hole. His tee shot took two hops before rolling gently onto the green, stopping inside 4 feet of the pin.
McCarty then went birdie-bogey-birdie over his final three holes before celebrating with his caddie and family.
The Black Desert Championship, the latest addition to the FedEx Cup Fall series, was the PGA Tour’s first stop in Utah since 1963.
JERRY KELLY HANGS ON TO WIN SAS CHAMPIONSHIP
Jerry Kelly shot a 5-under-par 67 and held on to win the SAS Championship by one stroke on Sunday at Prestonwood Country Club in Cary, N.C.
Kelly made his only bogey of the day at the par-4 18th hole to settle for 13-under 203, and Ireland’s Padraig Harrington moved to 13 under at around the same time with a birdie at the par-5 17th. But Harrington also proceeded to bogey No. 18 after missing both the fairway and the green on his first two shots.
Harrington’s par attempt to force a playoff hit the edge of the cup and lipped out.
It marked Kelly’s 12th win on the PGA Tour Champions and his first since August 2022.
“It’s a long time coming,” Kelly said on the Golf Channel broadcast. “You wonder if you’re even going to do it again when the injuries start piling up.”
Kelly began the day tied for second, three shots off the pace of Harrington, who has won eight times since joining the tour in 2022. Kelly birdied Nos. 1, 3 and 5 to make his move up the leaderboard.
Kelly passed Harrington on the leaderboard with another trio of birdies at Nos. 10, 12 and 13, while the Irishman had just two birdies and a bogey through 12 holes. Harrington missed birdie chances at the 13th through 16th holes before finally getting one to go at the penultimate hole.
Sunday marked the end of the PGA Tour Champions regular season, and the top 72 players in the points standings qualified for the Charles Schwab Cup playoffs. That included Woody Austin, who despite posting a 3-over 75 on Sunday finished T17 at 4 under par. He moved from No. 73 to No. 71 in points.
“That’s what I tried to do coming in this week,” Austin said of making the playoffs. “To have to hit it that good just to finish in the top-20 (of the tournament), that’s ridiculous. I’m glad that I get to at least play one more tournament.”
RUONING YIN SETS TOURNAMENT RECORD IN WIN IN SHANGHAI
Ruoning Yin capped a scintillating week in her hometown, shooting a 64 to win the Buick LPGA Shanghai and set the tournament scoring record.
Yin made the Qizhong Garden Golf Club course her personal playground with rounds of 70-66-63-64 for a 25-under 263. She entered play Sunday one stroke behind rookie Mao Saigo of Japan, whose 71 in the final round left her six strokes back and in a tie for second with South Korea’s Sei Young Kim (68).
Paired in the final group, Yin tied Saigo at 18-under with a birdie on hole No. 1. Another birdie at the fifth hole gave her a one-shot lead at the turn.
But the Shanghai native wouldn’t be caught. She recorded six birdies on the back nine in a dominant showing to win her fourth career LPGA event and pocket $315,000.
Back-to-back birdies on the final two holes resulted in her career-best 72-hole score. Her 263 obliterated the tournament scoring record of 272, set by Danielle Kang in 2019.
“It’s amazing to be able to win at home,” Yin said. “This tournament really mean a lot to me, and to be able to have this trophy, to keep this trophy in China it’s just, I mean, phenomenal.”
Saigo couldn’t muster any momentum. A birdie on No. 8 followed a bogey on the previous hole, and she didn’t birdie again until No. 17.
Her top-10 finish was her seventh of the season without a victory.
Kim, who led after the first round, was three shots off to begin the day and rang up six birdies and two bogeys. She now has three top-10 finishes in her four appearances in Shanghai.
Yealimi Noh shot a 68 to finish fourth at 18-under.
“Very solid week. My best finish of the year, so it’s been really nice,” she said. “I just hit it really well, which was really surprising and I was grateful for, because I had some back problems coming into the week.”
Hye-Jin Choi shot 62 to move from 26th place to a tie for fifth, and she tied the course-record for 18 holes, set in the first round by Kim. Joining her in the T5 was Jeeno Thitikul of Thailand.

COLTS FOOTBALL
COLTS DEFENSE ANSWERS TITANS’ CHALLENGE TO DRIVE WEEK 6 WIN
NASHVILLE – As the celebrations died down in the moments following Michael Pittman Jr.’s go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter, Colts head coach Shane Steichen delivered a mission to his defense.
It was time to play complementary football, Steichen emphasized. If the Colts were going to beat the Tennessee Titans, it was going to take at least one stop.
The Colts’ defense got three stops, smothering Tennessee’s veteran receivers and securing a 20-17 win over the Titans on Sunday at Nissan Stadium.
“The game of football keeps you humble,” cornerback Kenny Moore II said. “We’ve been through a lot this year already. Just being able to make that count late in the game, earning it in (when they passed) in general — it puts a badge of honor on your shoulders. Because for them to win the game, they gotta try to pass it through the secondary. So when they can’t do that, it’s everything you want. That’s what you dream of.”
Moore and fellow cornerbacks Jaylon Jones and Sam Womack III were targeted seven times on the Titans’ final three drives as the Colts nursed a three-point lead late in the fourth quarter. Those three cornerbacks allowed just two receptions for 11 yards; Womack forced a pair of incompletions while Jones’ tight coverage generated another.
And the Titans receivers who were targeted on those throws – DeAndre Hopkins, Calvin Ridley and Tyler Boyd – entered Week 6 having combined for 361 games, 23,083 yards and 147 touchdowns in their careers. Those veterans had made plenty of game-shifting, clutch receptions in the NFL.
The Colts didn’t let them make any of those plays on Sunday.
“They were all over,” Steichen said of his team’s cornerbacks. “They were playing aggressive with tight man coverage on a lot of those situations and made big time plays. Credit to those guys. They put in the work during the week. Ridley’s a hell of a player, we knew that going in, and they got some talented weapons over there. And credit to those guys, I mean, shoot, they had a hell of a game. Defense played a hell of a game. It was great.”
Ridley, notably, finished Sunday with no catches on eight targets. He became only the 13th player since 1993 to have no catches on at least eight targets in a single game. Levis, meanwhile, completed 16 of 27 passes for 95 yards, making the fourth time in Colts history they’ve held an opposing quarterback to under 100 yards on 25 or more attempts.
The Titans had trouble moving the ball through the air entering Week 6, but this wasn’t just the Colts’ secondary feasting on a struggling opponent. The Colts’ secondary – Moore, Jones, Womack, Julian Blackmon (who picked off Levis in the fourth quarter) and Nick Cross – dominated, especially as the game went on and the Titans needed to throw the ball to win.
“Jaylon, he’s becoming one of those guys in this league, one of those dudes you can trust over there,” linebacker Zaire Franklin said. “… Sam, man, he’s been taking advantage of the opportunities he’s got. He’s definitely been a big boost for our defense since he came in. Kenny coming back settles all that down, and Julian catching picks, it just feels right. I’m glad the secondary had a good bounce back this week but we gotta be more consistent. It’s further to go for this defense.”
Added Moore: “We got the right guys out there. We got the right guys.”
The Colts’ defense, too, on Sunday had to rebound from one of its lowest moments of 2024.
With the Titans facing a third-and-19 at the Colts’ 23-yard line midway through the third quarter, Levis handed off to running back Tony Pollard – the kind of play-it-safe call teams will go with on third-and-long designed to gain a few yards and lead to a field goal attempt. Instead, Pollard broke several tackles and scythed his way into the end zone for a 23-yard touchdown.
“I’m gonna be honest, I’m tired of being on people highlight tape,” Franklin said. “I’m tired of that (stuff). Pollard getting that run on a third and long in the high red, like, that’s bad ball on our part. That’s not coaching, that’s not nothing — we gotta be better than that.
“I’m proud of how the boys responded but the challenge is on myself, (Grover Stewart), Kenny leading these dues and making sure that we gonna be that type of defense every single snap for an entire game.”
Tennessee’s defense – which entered Week 6 top five in the NFL in several categories – was unlikely to let Sunday’s game turn into the kind of high-scoring fourth quarter duel the Colts got caught in last week against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Colts were going to have to step up on defense after Pollard’s touchdown.
From that point on, the Titans ran 15 plays. The Colts held them to 39 yards – 10 of which came on Tennessee’s lateral-based desperate final play of the game. Steichen’s challenge was met: The Colts’ defense played the kind of complementary football the team needed to beat the Titans on Sunday.
Now the challenge will be to take this momentum and build on it throughout the rest of the season.
“We just gotta continue to know that we can make those plays, we can close out games and we can get those stops,” defensive end Kwity Paye said.
There will come another game when the Colts need their defense to have a repeat performance of what they did in Week 6. And for the Colts to get to where they want to go in 2024, their defense will have to again be up for the challenge.
“We gotta keep stacking them — three and out, takeaway, three and out, takeaway,” Moore said. “And once you do that, once you get that momentum going, that’s how you create an identity.”

INDIANA VOLLEYBALL
HOOSIERS’ UPSET BID FALLS SHORT
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The Indiana Volleyball team (9-7, 2-4 B1G) threw everything it had at No. 3 Penn State on Sunday (Oct. 13) afternoon in Wilkinson Hall. Late leads slipped away from IU in sets three and four, falling 3-1 to the visiting Nittany Lions (25-22, 22-25, 30-32, 22-25) in Bloomington.
After a strong opening set, Penn State responded in set two to tie things up. The Hoosiers had five set points in game three but were hurt by a trio of late service errors. Sophomore Ramsey Gary had a serve, up 28-27, that hung on the net and fell back onto IU’s side for an error. The Nittany Lions closed out games three and four, finishing off the Hoosiers’ push for a signature win.
Junior outside hitter Candela Alonso-Corcelles had a team high 18 kills while senior setter Camryn Haworth finished one kill away from her fourth career triple-double (36 assists, 11 digs, 9 kills). The Hoosiers had a productive afternoon from the middle, getting 15 combined kills from junior Madi Sell and sophomore Ava Vickers.
IU out blocked Penn State (13.0-10.0) with Sell (7.0) matching a career high along the way. It was the fourth match this season that the Hoosiers finished with 13 total team blocks. Gary had 17 digs to pace the back row efforts. Five different IU players had at least seven digs.
Penn State All-American outside hitter Jess Mruzik found her groove in the fourth set, effectively carrying her team to victory with seven kills on eight swings. She had a match high 21 kills. Outside hitter Camryn Hannah (17) and Maggie Mendelson (11) were also in double figures.
The Hoosiers have a quick turnaround this week as they prep for a pair of nationally televised matches. IU heads to Illinois on Wednesday night (7:00 PM ET, Big Ten Network) and No. 10 Purdue on Saturday (7:00 PM ET, Big Ten Network).
Set Breakdown
Set 1: Indiana 25, Penn State 22
Two days after a frustrating night in Minnesota, Indiana responded with a strong opening set to kick start its day in Wilkinson Hall. The Hoosiers hit just .225 but held Penn State to an offensive clip of .143 (15-9-42). Camryn Haworth had 10 assists and two kills in set one while IU had 18 digs as a team.
• IU eventually broke away after the two teams exchanged early points. Avry Tatum had a pair of kills, sandwiched around a Penn State attacking error, as the Hoosiers opened a 16-13 advantage.
• Penn State got back on level terms at 17-all following a 3-0 run with libero Gillian Grimes at the service line. IU was denied by a double block before Nittany Lion middle blocker Maggie Mendelson converted on a kill to force IU into a timeout.
• The Hoosiers took the lead back for good out of the timeout with Candela Alonso-Corcelles and Ava Vickers combining on the first block of the night. IU closed on an 8-5 run to win the opening set. Madi Sell denied Penn State on a quick set to take the 25-22 win in game one.
Set 2: Penn State 25, Indiana 22
As expected, Penn State punched back in game two to even the match. Both blocks came alive with each team recording five in set two. Alonso-Corcelles had seven kills in game three while Sell had four blocks. Penn State found a few more points offensively to seal the deal. Jess Mruzik had five kills and two blocks for the Nittany Lions.
• Penn State opened a lead of four points at the 11-7 and 15-11 intervals. Mendelson had consecutive kills to carry Penn State into the media timeout. After exchanging service errors out of the break, Mendelson and setter Izzy Starck combined on a block to take a five-point advantage.
• IU had its chances to get back into the set. Camryn Hannah was called for a blocking error to close the deficit to three points. Alonso-Corcelles and Ava Vickers had kills out of an IU timeout to get back within three. IU couldn’t get the deficit any smaller through the remainder of the set.
• A solo block from Mady Saris and a double block from Sell and Haworth denied Penn State on its first two set points. After a long rally on the third set point, Mruzik finished off the frame with a fantastic cut shot just inside the line. IU challenged but failed to overturn the call. That proved to be a big moment as the Hoosiers burned both challenges in set two.
Set 3: Penn State 32, Indiana 30
Reminiscent of a long set against Minnesota in 2023, Sunday’s game three against Penn State will be one that haunts the Hoosiers. IU had a chance at five set points, failing to convert three of them because of service errors. The Hoosiers had four blocks in the set and 13 kills but gave away five points at the service line. Penn State won the set 32-30 on 13 combined kills from their left side attackers.
• After commanding most of set two, Penn State repeated that in the early portion of set three. Ava Falduto aced IU on a miscommunication before Mruzik terminated a kill to take a 10-6 lead. Aird took his first timeout before the momentum got out of hand.
• IU continued to battle back, going on an 8-3 run to retake the advantage. A big swing from Haworth, going on second contact, handed IU the 14-13 lead. It was IU’s first lead since 5-4 in the set.
• The first sign of cracks from Penn State came on consecutive attacking errors from Mruzik. She failed to get the first ball over the net on a back row swing before her next attempt sailed out of bounds. The Nittany Lions called timeout, trailing by three (19-16) in game three.
• Aird showed some veteran coaching composure, standing next to the official with Penn State back to serve. He acted as if he would take a timeout but neglected not to. Mruzik sent her serve into the net before Avry Tatum stepped back to the line and aced Penn State. That ace handed IU a 21-19 lead.
• On the second set point, Haworth went back to the service line with a chance to be the hero. Her serve sailed long and began a chain reaction. IU’s next two serves, all on set point, were errors. Penn State finally pulled ahead and got back-to-back kills from Taylor Trammell to finish off the set win.
Set 4: Penn State 25, Indiana 22
Another chance to continue the match fell out of the grasp of IU down the stretch. Mruzik proved her value as an All-American attacker, finishing the set with seven kills on eight swings. IU got four kills and a block from Sell but six service errors put the final touches on a four-set loss.
• IU jumped out of the gates, quickly opening a 9-5 lead. Penn State responded with three points, all kills from Hannah, but IU took the advantage back to four on a kill from Alonso-Corcelles. Katie Schumacher-Cawley took her first timeout with IU leading 12-8.
• The Hoosier lead got as big as five with Haworth and Sell combining on a massive block to get Wilkinson Hall on its feet. IU had every chance to close out the set but Penn State refused to go away. The Nittany Lions quickly added three points before Aird took his first timeout.
• Service errors from Delaynie Maple and Ramsey Gary halted any chance to open up another lead. Vickers sided out with a big kill out of the middle but Penn State closed on a 5-1 run from there. Mruzik provided a pair of impressive kills before Mendelson closed out the match, terminating past the outstretched arms of IU.

Notes to Know
• After Sunday’s tight loss, IU falls to 1-62 all-time against Penn State. The Hoosiers are now 0-38 against top-three teams in program history following the defeat to the No. 3 Nittany Lions.
• Senior setter Camryn Haworth came one kill away from her fourth career triple-double. This is the second time in her career she’s come two-or-fewer kills from recording a triple-double. She had 45 assists, 16 digs and 8 kills in a win at No. 5 Ohio State in 2022. She had 36 assists, 11 digs and 9 kills in today’s defeat to No. 3 Penn State.
• The Fishers, Ind. native has 10 matches with 7+ kills in her career. Today’s effort was the 29th double-double of her fantastic college career. She moves into a tie for second (Victoria Brisack) for the most double-doubles in IU history during the 25-point rally era (since 2008).
• Haworth had another multi-ace effort at the service line against Penn State. That takes her to 195 for her collegiate career. She needs just two more to tie the all-time IU record and three to break the program record for service aces.
• Junior outside hitter Candela Alonso-Corcelles has had 10+ kills in 27 of her 46 career Big Ten matches since arriving in Bloomington. In her last four games, she’s averaging 4.47 kills per set. Twice this year, including today’s contest against Penn State, she’s had 18 kills.
• Junior middle blocker Madi Sell had a productive afternoon, calling for the ball offensively down the stretch. She matched career highs in blocks (7.0) and attacks (17) while hitting at a .353 clip (7-1-17) on Sunday.
• Set three in Sunday’s match went a total of 62 points between the two sides. Over the past two seasons, IU has had four different sets go over the 30-point threshold on both sides. The Hoosiers are just 1-3 in those four games. The lone set win came at Northwestern (34-32 – Set 2, Oct. 29, 2023). Three of those set losses came in Wilkinson Hall.

PURDUE WOMEN’S SOCCER
BOILERS DROP PENULTIMATE HOME GAME TO #8 OHIO STATE
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The Purdue Soccer team fell to No. 8 Ohio State in a windy 4-2 bout at Folk Field on Sunday afternoon.
Chiara Singarella and Abigail Roy provided the Boilermakers’ (6-7-2, 2-5-1 Big Ten) highlight reel plays, knocking in their 15th and fifth career goals, respectively.
Singarella, the junior transfer who followed head coach Richard Moodie from South Alabama to Purdue, improved on her team-best tally with her fifth score of the season.
In the 30th minute, Singarella took a perfect centering pass from Gracie Dunaway and headed the ball to the back of the net to get the Boilers on the board.
It came just after Ohio State (9-2-3, 4-1-2 Big Ten) had taken a 2-0 lead, but Purdue refused to go down easy, answering just 20 seconds after the Buckeyes’ second goal to cut the lead to one.
Additionally, Zoie Allen got credited for a “hockey assist” to set up the scoring play. The fifth-year midfielder from Smithfield, Rhode Island, also placed a perfect pass to set up Roy’s goal later in the contest.
Ohio State took advantage of a penalty kick opportunity to take back a two-goal lead in the 35th minute.
Just before halftime, with 48 second on the clock before the break, Allen made a shifty move just outside the Buckeyes’ 18-yard box and pushed a beautifully placed pass that to set up Roy’s scoring shot.
Ohio State scored the only goal after halftime, when Ella Giannola found a crease and rolled a ball to the back left corner of the net in the 52nd minute.
Despite being outshot 15-6, Purdue found ways to stay in the game and frustrated the Buckeye offense, which was unable to capitalize on 11 of its attempts.
Sophomore goalkeeper Emily Edwards logged three saves to put her over 50 on the season. She now has 51 saves with a percentage of 76.1%.

Purdue stays home for its final home contest of the season this week against Rutgers. For Hammer Down Cancer night, kickoff from Folk Field is set for 7 p.m. on Thursday.

WOMEN’S SOCCER TURNED AWAY BY NORTHERN KENTUCKY IN 2-1 DEFEAT
HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. – The IU Indianapolis women’s soccer team got a late strike from junior Emma Frey, but it wasn’t enough as the Jaguars fell short on the road at Northern Kentucky, 2-1. All of the game’s scoring came after halftime as the two sides entered play with identical 3-1-1 marks in Horizon League play. However, it was the hosts who earned the full three points on goals from Meghan Belrose and Lydia Self.
Frey pumped life into the Jaguars in the closing minutes, but it wasn’t enough.
NKU (7-6-1, 4-1-1 HL) scored the game’s first goal in the 62nd minute when Belrose finished off a nice combination and redirected a shot in close past senior keeper Ashton Kudlo. The Norse took a commanding 2-0 lead in the 86th minute when the Jaguars were unable to clear a ball inside their own penalty area, allowing Self to get a finishing touch for her third score of the year.
Frey, who was featured on ESPN SportsCenter’s Top 10 Plays earlier in the week, waited just 12 seconds to cut the lead in half when she blasted a strike from over 30 yards out off the underside of the crossbar and over the line for her fourth tally of the year.
That came on the heels of both Hannah Roberson and Lindsey Castillo testing NKU goalkeeper Tristen Cross in the moments leading up to the Norse’s second goal.
NKU finished the game with a decisive 17-5 margin in shot attempts, putting six on frame to the Jaguars’ two. Castillo paced the IU Indy attack with two shot attempts while Kudlo made four saves.
The Jaguars return to action on Thursday, Oct. 17 when they travel to Dayton, Ohio, to face Wright State at 7:00 p.m. on ESPN+.

BALL STATE WOMEN’S SOCCER
SOCCER FALLS TO OHIO ON PAIR OF SECOND HALF GOALS
MUNCIE, Ind. – Avery Fenchel’s goal in the 12th minute against Ohio solidified her spot as the second-highest goal scorer in program history, but it was not enough to get the edge over the Bobcats Sunday afternoon, who scored two second half goals to win 2-1 at the Briner Sports Complex.
The Cardinals (7-5-2, 2-3-2 Mid-American Conference) got on the board first with Fenchel’s 28th career goal, as she knocked in a shot off a deflection from Addie Chester. Ball State and Ohio (9-1-4, 4-0-3 MAC) went into the halftime break with the hosts leading 1-0.
With the Cardinals down 2-1 late in the second half, Fenchel recorded her game-high fourth shot attempt, sending the ball into the bottom left of the net, but her goal would be called off due to an offside call from the official.
The Cardinals defended Ohio well in the first half, holding the Bobcats scoreless with a single shot on goal. Ohio brought more aggression in the second half, recording a total of 11 shots against Ball State’s four.
Overall, Ohio took more shots (17-8) and more on goal (6-3) to remain unbeaten in conference play. The Bobcats earned more corner kicks (4-2) and were called for more fouls in the match.
Grace Konopatzki made four saves on the day for the hosts, while Ohio’s goalkeeper Celeste Sloma registered two. Jaimason Brooker scored both goals for the Bobcats, which came in the 58th and 71st minutes.
Ball State returns to action at 7 p.m. on Friday at Miami (OH).
BALL STATE FIELD HOCKEY
JOHNSTON TURNS IN CAREER HIGH 22 SAVES IN LOSS AT NO. 5 MICHIGAN
ANN ARBOR, Mich. – The Ball State field hockey team (3-8) played some top-notch defense against the No. 5 Michigan Wolverines (10-1) Sunday afternoon, but it wasn’t enough as the Cardinals dropped a 4-0 decision to the Maize & Blue at Ocker Field today.
The Cardinals were able to hold the Wolverines scoreless in the opening 15 minutes of action a feat no Mid-American Conference school has done against Michigan thus far this season which includes Kent State, Central Michigan, Ohio, and Miami.
Really the story of today’s contest was about the outstanding display of toughness by the Cardinals’ goalkeeper Hannah Johnston who faced 43 shots and 17 penalty corners while turning in a career best 22 save performance to bring her career saves total to 450.
Eventually, Michigan was able to score in the second stanza to take a 1-0 edge over Ball State at intermission. The Wolverines would tack on three more goals in the remaining 30 minutes of play to go up 4-0 over the Cardinals.
Unfortunately, Ball State struggled to connect offensively throughout the entirety of today’s contest.
The Ball State field hockey team remains on the road when it plays at Appalachian State Friday at 6 pm ET.

VALPARAISO, Ind. – The University of Evansville women’s soccer team overcame three separate one-goal deficits on Sunday afternoon to earn a point in a 3-3 draw with the Valparaiso Beacons.
The Purple Aces may have gone down a goal early in Sunday’s match at Valparaiso, but it didn’t stop them from coming back multiple times to earn their second road result. Sophomore forward Taylor Johnson (Evansville, Ind. / Reitz HS) scored UE’s first brace since 2021 with Evansville’s first two goals of the afternoon. While senior forward Hailey Autenrieb (Cincinnati / Seton HS) became the Aces leading offensive player with UE’s third goal in the 89th minute.
The start of the match was all Valparaiso as they challenged fifth-year goalkeeper Myia Danek (Laingsburg, Mich. / Laingsburg HS) early. The Beacons took an early one-goal lead in the 16th minute on a long shot from the 18. But Evansville answered back quickly only 75 seconds later. Johnson scored her first goal in the 18th minute as sophomore midfielder Ella Hamner (Evansville, Ind. / Memorial HS) found her in the middle of the penalty area. Johnson smacked the ball into the middle of the net with her right foot for her first goal of 2024.
The match didn’t stay tied for long, as Valpo scored again in the 21st minute, playing with the wind at their backs. The Aces’ offense didn’t back off for the last 24 minutes, taking three more shot attempts but couldn’t find the back of the net. UE’s offense took the start of the second half by storm with three quick shots in the first three minutes.
In those first minutes, Johnson scored her second goal of the match off a long cross from graduate defender Rachel Rosborough (Mt. Brydges, Ontario). Johnson’s second goal in the 49th minute came in close range from the six hitting the far right side of the net. But the Beacons found an answer again in the 57th minute to retake a one-goal lead.
Down by a goal again, the Aces attacked the net with two quick shots following the score. The teams traded back-to-back shot attempts in the middle of the second half. But UE took control on offense in the final nine minutes of the match. After five attempts it was Autenrieb that broke through for Evansville’s third goal in the 89th minute. Running up the left side of the field after an Aces throw-in, Autenrieb fired from the 10 to place the ball in the bottom right corner and earn UE another point in the MVC standings.
Autenrieb was Evansville’s offensive leader with a career-high five shots with two on goal. Two Aces had three shots in the match as Johnson and senior midfielder Reece Simmons (Las Vegas / Shadow Ridge HS) were effective on the attack. Defender Kaylee Woosley (Evansville, Ind. / North HS) and Hamner also had multiple shots for a season-high 18 shots against Valpo.

MOREHEAD, Ky. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Soccer claimed its first road win of the season Sunday afternoon when the Screaming Eagles used a late second-half goal toward a 1-0 victory at Morehead State University.
Southern Indiana (3-8-4, 2-2-2 OVC) was looking to get back on track Sunday following a two-game skid in Ohio Valley Conference play. The match started with offensive opportunities coming at a premium. Junior midfielder Emerson Grafton had both of Southern Indiana’s first-half shots on goal within five minutes before the 20-minute mark.
Morehead State (6-6-3, 3-3-0 OVC) generated more shots down the stretch of the first half, but USI’s defensive unit was solid, holding Morehead State to only one shot on goal out of six attempts in the opening 45 minutes. The defensive battle led to a 0-0 score at halftime.
After halftime, Grafton took two more shots on goal as USI threatened to score early in the second half. However, defense continued to be the theme of the match, as neither side recorded a shot for 20 minutes in the middle of the second half.
In the 77th minute, USI won possession on a 50-50 ball out of the air. Going into the box, redshirt freshman forward Eva Boer turned and played a square ball to the middle where sophomore midfielder Pilar Torres found space and buried a shot into the low corner of the goal to give USI a 1-0 lead at the 76:23 mark.
Southern Indiana recorded four more shots in the final 13 minutes while the Screaming Eagles’ defense stayed strong. Morehead State took a last-second shot at the goal, but USI redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Anna Markland snagged the save to close out the win.
USI put six of eight shot attempts on goal Sunday. Grafton placed all four of her shots on target, marking the first time a Screaming Eagles put at least four shots on goal since August 2022 when Jill DiTusa put four shots on frame against Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. Meanwhile, Southern Indiana’s defense held Morehead State, one of the top shooting teams in the OVC going into Sunday, to only nine shots and two shots on goal.
Through Sunday’s early slate of matches in the OVC, Southern Indiana remained tied for fifth in the conference standings with eight points but closed the gap on Morehead State in fourth place.

VALPARAISO WOMEN’S SOCCER
LATE GOAL KEEPS SOCCER FROM WIN SUNDAY
The Valpo soccer team looked poised to claim all three points from its MVC matchup against Evansville at Brown Field Sunday afternoon, but the Purple Aces found the back of the net with less than two minutes to play to make the final result a 3-3 draw.
How It Happened
Valpo opened the scoring in the 16th minute on Sunday. Freshman Kaleigh Shafer (Shelby Township, Mich./Eisenhower) gained control of a loose ball about 35 yards from goal and found senior Abby White (Commerce Township, Mich./Walled Lake Central) coming down the left. White cut inside and hit a strike from 20 yards out with her right foot, burying it into the lower-left corner of the goal.
The Beacons’ lead was short-lived, however, as Evansville’s Taylor Johnson scored in the 18th minute.
The 1-1 scoreline proved to be short-lived as well, though. Less than three minutes after the Purple Aces’ equalizer, Valpo’s press created a turnover from the Evansville back line. Freshman Ashlyn Cohen (Cooper City, Fla./Cooper City) picked it up and shot from about 20 yards out, and her right-footed strike got through Evansville goalkeeper Myia Danek and into the corner of the net to make it 2-1 Valpo.
The game went into halftime with the Beacons on top, 2-1, but the Purple Aces evened things up less than four minutes into the second half when Johnson found the back of the net.
Valpo took the lead for the third time on Sunday in the 57th minute. With possession on the left side in the attacking third, freshman Landyn Wessels (Maple Hill, N.C./Jacksonville) hit a beautiful cross-field ball to senior Sam Gountounas (Tinley Park, Ill./Andrew) on the right flank. After a few touches, Gountounas took a sharp-angle shot from 10 yards out and rifled it into the top of the net to make it 3-2 Valpo.
The Beacons maintained the one-goal edge for over 30 minutes, keeping the Purple Aces at bay. But Evansville’s Hailey Autenrieb got loose on a run down the left and scored with 1:39 remaining to close out the scoring.
Inside the Match
The draw was Valpo’s first of the season, coming in its 14th match.
It was just the second 3-3 draw in program history. The only such previous result came on Oct. 9, 2009 against Indiana State.
The end result fit with how the series between the two in-state foes has gone recently. Since Valpo joined the MVC, it has met Evansville on 10 occasions, with the series in that stretch even at 3-3-4.
White’s goal was her first of the season and the fourth of her career, while Shafer’s assist on it was the first of her collegiate career.
Cohen found the back of the net for the second time this year, both of which have come in the last three matches.
Gountounas tallied her third goal of the season and the sixth of her career, while Wessels’ assist was her second of the year.
Evansville ended the afternoon with an 18-15 advantage in shots, but the Beacons put eight on goal to the Purple Aces’ five.
Thoughts From Coach Marovich
“I felt like we played some real proper football today. We were patient in a lot of moments, we found spaces which needed to be found, we did a lot of really positive things when we had the ball and we were rewarded by scoring three goals. That’s fantastic progress, and came out of some really good ideas from a great week of training.”
“The hard part is that we then didn’t get the full three points for that kind of work. The game is telling us that we have to be better in critical moments. We’re trying to do too much, we’re not having the same kind of patience, and at the end of the day, those moments have come back to hurt us in terms of getting points.”
“The way we tried to play today is great progress to me. We’re not happy with where the conference season is and the results we’ve had, but I love the development of these players and that’s what we’re going to keep our focus on — continuing to develop repeatable actions and stay true to them.”
Next Up
Valpo (4-9-1, 0-5-1 MVC) faces a two-match road trip next week, starting Thursday night at Belmont. Kickoff is slated for 6:30 p.m.
UNIDY MEN’S SOCCER
GREYHOUNDS WIN 3-0 AFTER DOMINATE SECOND HALF PERFORMANCE
INDIANAPOLIS – The UIndy men’s soccer team had an offensive explosion in the second half today to give the Greyhounds the 3-0 win over Missouri S&T.
The Hounds have won 10 of the last 13 matches against the Miners, with UIndy’s only loss during that stretch coming in their meeting on Oct. 23, 2022. UIndy also extends their win streak at home to four straight games.
HOW IT HAPPENED
Much of the first half was a defense stalemate, with only one shot on goal combined between both teams.
The one big chance came early in the first half when Missouri S&T’s, Julian Arsaether’s breakaway chance was denied by Ionas Giovanidis to keep the score all knotted at zero.
The second half was a much different story, as the Hounds scored three goals in less than 10 minutes to get the Hounds out to a convincing 3-0 lead.
The first of the three goals was scored by Alvaro Sanchez, after a through ball from Jona Hogle to a streaking Sanchez, who tucked it away finishing a counter attack to give the Hounds the 1-0 lead after 47 minutes.
The second goal came less than four minutes later when Jakob David scored a low driven one timer shot from outside the 18-yard box that beat the diving Cavitt Bruhn to double the Hounds lead.
But UIndy wasn’t done, three minutes later, a poor clearance from Bruhn found the feet of Sanchez, who then played a cross to Landen Montfort for a one-on-one chance against the Miner’s goalkeeper and eventually scoring to extend the lead to 3-0.
The rest of the second half was full of more chances for UIndy, the majority of them coming from Lucas Bedleg, who racked up five shots in the final 37 minutes.
The Miners defense was strong for the final stretch of the second half, but it wasn’t enough as the Hounds came out on top with a 3-0 home win.
INSIDE THE BOX
– Montfort recorded his second goal of the season today vs. Missouri S&T.
– Sanchez picked up his first assist of the season, and also his career.
– Hogle moved into second on the team in assists with his two today.
– Jake Plant made his third consecutive start of the season today.

HOW IT HAPPENED
The Greyhounds didn’t waste time getting on the board early, as Sarah Wegener connected with Antiya Sidibe on a pinpoint through ball. Sidibe made a nifty move to split the defenders and fired a ball past Anastasia Barcom for give the hounds a 1-0 lead in the third minute of the match.
The Hounds registered three more shots on Barcom before the game was significantly changed. A red card shown to Missouri S&T’s Sarah Henze in the 22nd minute left the Miners down a player for the rest of the match. UIndy only needed minutes to take advantage of the booking, as Sidibe found the back of the net for the second time in the 25th minute, this time set up by Sukhmani Shergill. The goal gave the Hounds a comfortable 2-0 lead heading into halftime.
In the second half, UIndy continued to press but couldn’t extend their lead. With only playing with 10 on the pitch, the Miners landed six shots in total, but goalkeeper Jenna Taghikhani kept them at bay with three crucial saves in the effort toward the team’s third straight shutout.
IN THE BOX

The mission of the BBWAA will be to improve working conditions for writers, promote uniformity of scoring methods, and limit the press box to working reporters, telegraphers, and other professional personnel who need to be there.
1908 In front of the smallest crowd in World Series history, Chicago, behind the strong pitching of Orval Overall, beat the Tigers in just 85 minutes to capture the Fall Classic. The 6,210 fans witnessing the fifth and final World Series game at Detroit’s Bennett Park have no idea it will be the last time the Cubs will win a World Championship in the next 100+ years.
1952 The Reds obtain outfielder Gus Bell from the Pirates in exchange for Cal Abrams, Gail Henley, and Joe Rossi. The newest Cincinnati flychaser, considered one of general manager Gabe Paul’s best acquisitions for the team, will become a fan favorite and hit .288 during his nine-year tenure in the Queen City.
1969 Thanks to two great catches by Tommie Agee at Shea Stadium, the Mets beat the Orioles to take a 2-1 game lead in the World Series. The center fielder’s outfield heroics save at least five runs in the 5-0 victory over Baltimore.
1972 In Game 1 of the World Series, Gene Tenace, who went 1-for-17 in the ALCS, becomes the first player in history to hit two home runs in his first two at-bats in the Fall Classic. The catcher’s round-trippers in the second and fifth inning account for all of the A’s runs in the team’s 3-2 victory over the Reds at Riverfront Stadium and earn the Oakland backstop a $5,000 bonus from the usually tight-fisted owner of the club, Charlie Finley.
1973 The contest in which Willie Mays gets his last hit, an RBI single that plates the decisive run in the 12th inning of the Mets’ 10-7 victory over the A’s in the second game of the World Series. The game, best remembered for the aging superstar’s misadventures in the outfield when he loses two fly balls in the sun at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, takes four hours and 13 minutes to complete, making it the longest Fall Classic contest ever played.
1976 The Yankees dramatically win their 30th pennant on Chris Chambliss’ home run in the bottom of the ninth inning. The first baseman’s walk-off solo shot beats the Royals in Game Five and deciding contest of the ALCS, 7-6.
1978 In the sixth inning of Game 4, Dodger manager Tommy Lasorda argues unsuccessfully that the umpires should call interference on Reggie Jackson when a throw from Dodger shortstop Bill Russell caroms off his hip near first base, allowing Thurman Munson to score from second. New York eventually overcomes a three-run deficit with a 4-3 walk-off victory in ten innings at the Bronx ballpark, tying the World Series at two games apiece.
1983 At Veterans Stadium, Jim Palmer pitches two innings of scoreless relief, getting credit for the win when the Orioles beat the Phillies in Game 3 of the World Series, 3-2. The Hall of Famer becomes the only pitcher in baseball history to win a Fall Classic game in three decades.
1984 The Tigers’ 8-4 clinching victory over the Padres marks the last time the World Series is played outdoors in sunlight. A scheduled daytime Fall Classic game will occur in 1987, but the contest is played indoors at the Metrodome in Minnesota.
1984 With the Tigers leading 5-4 in the eighth inning of Game 5 of the World Series, Kirk Gibson hits his second home run of the game, a three-run blast to the upper deck in right field, putting the game out of reach to give the Motor City its fourth World Championship in franchise history. Padres manager Dick Williams had ordered his pitcher to walk the Detroit right fielder intentionally, but after ignoring the walk sign at first, Goose Gossage convinces his skipper he can get the slugger out, only to be proven wrong two pitches later.
1985 “Go crazy, folks, go crazy.” – JACK BUCK, Cardinals broadcaster’s reaction to Ozzie Smith’s unlikely home run during the 1985 NLCS against Dodgers. Ozzie Smith provides one of the most memorable moments in Cardinal history by hitting a dramatic homer to win Game 5 of the NLCS. The round-tripper was the first left-handed home run of the Wizard’s career, which spans 3,009 major league at-bats.
1986 After their dramatic come-from-behind 7-6 extra-inning win to stave off elimination in California, the Red Sox defeat the Angels again. Boston’s 10-4 victory at Fenway Park evens the ALCS at 3-3.
1992 Canada gets its first pennant when the Blue Jays clinch the American League crown with a 9-2 victory over the A’s in Game 6 of the ALCS. Toronto captures the World Series, beating the Braves in six games.
1992 Francisco Cabrera’s ninth-inning, two-out pinch-hit single drives in two runs, giving the Braves a stunning comeback victory, 3-2, over the Pirates in Game 7 of the NLCS. The backup catcher had only three hits during the regular season.
1997 At Turner Field, Kevin Brown tosses an 11-hit complete game to capture the Marlins’ first National League pennant. The flag, captured in only the fifth year of the team’s existence, is clinched in Game 6 of the NLCS when Florida beats Tom Glavine and the Braves, 7-4.
2000 Roger Clemens strikes out a record-setting 15 batters and one-hits the Mariners, 5-0, giving the Yankees a 3-1 lead in the ALCS. Al Martin’s seventh-inning double broke up the Rocket’s bid for a no-hitter in the Safeco Field contest.
2002 Japan’s Seibu Lions, ending the regular season with a record of 90-46-1, post the Pacific League’s highest win total in 46 years. Alex Cabrera fails to hit a home run in the team’s last five games and has to settle with tying the single-season home run record with 55, along with Sadaharu Oh (1964) and Tuffy Rhodes (2001).
2003 Holding a 3-0 lead over the Marlins and needing only five more outs to go the World Series for the first time since 1945, the Cubs give up eight runs on five hits, three walks, and an error. The team appears to come apart after a fan, later identified as Steve Bartman, sitting along the left-field line at Wrigley Field, tries to snag a foul ball that was about to be caught by Chicago outfielder Moises Alou for the second out of the inning.
2003 The Giants announced the renaming of Pac Bell to SBC Park. The new moniker will change again after the 2005 season due to the SBC merger with AT&T.
2005 After negotiations break down with their skipper, the A’s interview five candidates to replace outgoing manager Ken Macha, apparently a top choice for many other teams. GM Billy Beane and his former field boss agree to a surprising new three-year deal a week later.
2006 With a 6-3 victory in Game 4 of the ALCS, Jim Leyland’s Tigers sweep the A’s to win the American League pennant for the first time since 1984. Magglio Ordonez’s dramatic walk-off three-run homer sets off a wild celebration at Comerica Park by the fans, who suffered through a historic 119-loss season just three years ago.
2006 Silas Simmons, the oldest former professional baseball player of all time, celebrates his 111th birthday. The 17th-oldest person in the country, born the same year as Babe Ruth, is joined by former players of the Negro Leagues and receives a 1913 Homestead Grays jersey with No. 111 stitched beneath his name from Steve Henderson of the Devil Rays at his home in the Westminster Suncoast retirement community in St. Petersburg.
2010 In a widely anticipated hiring, the Braves sign Fredi Gonzalez to replace their long-time legendary manager Bobby Cox, who retired at the end of the season. Atlanta’s new skipper, who served as the team’s third-base coach from 2003-06, was unexpectedly fired in June by the Marlins, a move thought to be prompted by the benching of Hanley Ramirez for not hustling.
2015 In a game that includes the benches-clearing twice, the Blue Jays advance to the ALCS, defeating the Rangers, 6-3, in the decisive game 5. Toronto overcomes a one-run deficit, thanks to Texas’s three straight errors to start the bottom of the seventh inning, followed by a three-run homer hit by Jose Bautista, who annoys his opponents with an exaggerated bat flip while admiring his third-deck shot at the Rogers Centre.
2020 In the Dodgers’ 15-3 victory in Game 3 of the NLCS, the team put together the highest-scoring inning ever in a postseason game, scoring 11 runs against the Braves, collecting seven hits, three walks, and a hit batter during the 32-minute first frame at Globe Life Field. LA surpasses the mark the Cardinals established last season of deciding Game 5 of the NL Division Series, crossing the plate ten times in the first inning against Atlanta.
