SEVEN FROM SUNDAY – WEEK 3
A look at seven statistical highlights from games played during the 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. ET windows on Sunday, September 21, the third week of the 2025 season.
- With two games remaining in Week 3, eight games were within one score in the fourth quarter and seven games were decided by one score (eight points or fewer), all by teams – Cleveland, Jacksonville, the Los Angeles Chargers, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, San Francisco and Tampa Bay – that recorded the game-winning score in the final three minutes of the fourth quarter.The seven games with a game-winning score in the final three minutes of regulation or in overtime ties for the most such games in a single week since 1970 (most recently: Week 15, 2022).
Tampa Bay is the first team in the Super Bowl era (since 1966) to record a game-winning score in the final minute of the fourth quarterback in each of its first three games of a season. The Buccaneers are also the third team since 1970 to record a game-winning score in the final minute of regulation in three consecutive games at any point in a single season, joining the 2017 Pittsburgh Steelers (Nov. 26-Dec. 10) and 1994 New York Giants (Dec. 4-18).
Six teams – Buffalo, Indianapolis, the Los Angeles Chargers, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Tampa Bay – improved to 3-0.
With divisional wins over Kansas City (Week 1), Las Vegas (Week 2) and Denver (Week 3), the Chargers became the third team since realignment in 2002 to defeat division opponents in each of their first three games of a season, joining the 2006 Chicago Bears and 2003 Minnesota Vikings.
- Philadelphia overcame a 19-point second-half deficit to win while Cleveland overcame a 10-point deficit in the final four minutes to earn their first win of the season. The Eagles are the first team to overcome a second-half deficit of 19-or-more points since Denver in Week 4 of the 2023 season (overcame 21-point deficit to win at Chicago).Eagles defensive tackles Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis each blocked a field goal in the fourth quarter in the team’s Week 3 win over the Los Angeles Rams. Philadelphia is the first team since at least 1978 to block two field goals in the fourth quarter of the same game.
Per Next Gen Stats, Davis – who blocked a potential game-winning field goal and returned it 61-yards for a touchdown as time expired – is the heaviest player (336 pounds) in NFL history to return a blocked kick 50-or-more yards for a touchdown and reached a top speed of 18.59 mph on the return, the fastest speed by a player over 330 pounds since at least 2017.
With Davis and the New York Jets’ Will McDonald (50-yard blocked field goal return for a touchdown against Tampa Bay) each returning a blocked field goal for a touchdown, it marks the third week since 2000 with multiple blocked field goal return touchdowns of 50-or-more yards, joining Week 5 of the 2024 season and Week 16 of the 2012 season.

- Seattle rookie wide receiver Tory Horton (95 yards) and Washington rookie wide receiver Jaylin Lane (90 yards) each recorded a punt return for a touchdown in Week 3, marking the first week in NFL history with multiple rookies recording punt return touchdowns of 90-or-more yards.It also marks the first time in 42 seasons (Week 5, 1983) that there were two punt returns of 90-or-more yards in the same week.
Horton’s 95-yard punt return for a touchdown is the longest by a rookie in nine seasons, since Tyreek Hill with Kansas City on Jan. 1, 2017 (95-yard punt-return touchdown).
- The Indianapolis Colts defeated Tennessee, 41-20, as running back Jonathan Taylor rushed for 102 yards and three touchdowns in the win.The Colts are the sixth team since 2002 to begin 3-0 and score at least 28 points in each win the season after missing the playoffs, joining the 2021 Arizona Cardinals, 2016 Philadelphia Eagles, 2011 Buffalo Bills, and 2008 and 2003 Denver Broncos.
Taylor has 7,535 scrimmage yards and 60 scrimmage touchdowns in 70 career games and is the fourth player since 2000 with at least 7,500 scrimmage yards and 60 touchdowns in his first 70 career games, joining Arian Foster, Adrian Peterson and Pro Football Hall of Famer LaDainian Tomlinson.
- Minnesota cornerback Isaiah Rodgers recorded two forced fumbles, an 87-yard interception return for a touchdown and a 66-yard fumble return for a touchdown in the Vikings’ 48-10 win over Cincinnati.Rodgers became the first player in NFL history with an interception return touchdown of 85-or-more yards and a fumble return touchdown of 65-or-more yards in the same game.
Rodgers is the first player since 2000 with two forced fumbles and two touchdowns in the same game.
- Pittsburgh quarterback Aaron Rodgers passed for 139 yards and two touchdowns while linebacker T.J. Watt had two sacks in the Steelers’ 21-14 win at New England.Rodgers has 510 career regular-season touchdown passes and surpassed Pro Football Hall of Famer Brett Favre (508 touchdown passes) for the fourth-most in NFL history.
Rodgers has 63,538 career regular-season passing yards and surpassed Philip Rivers (63,440 passing yards) for the sixth-most in NFL history.
Watt has 110 sacks in 124 career games and joined Pro Football Hall of Famers Reggie White (125.5 sacks) and DeMarcus Ware (110.5) as the only players since 1982, when the individual sack became an official statistic, with at least 110 sacks in his first 125 career games.
- Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford had two touchdown passes while wide receiver Puka Nacua had 11 receptions for 112 yards at Philadelphia in Week 3.Stafford has 382 career regular-season touchdown passes and surpassed Matt Ryan (381 touchdown passes) for the ninth-most in NFL history.
Nacua became the fifth player all-time with at least 10 receptions and 100 receiving yards in six games within his first three career seasons, joining Ja’Marr Chase (seven games), Justin Jefferson (seven), Michael Thomas (seven) and Odell Beckham Jr. (six).

Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts scored a rushing touchdown on the opening drive and threw his first three touchdown passes of the season in the second half to erase what was a 26-7 Los Angeles lead less than a minute into the second half. A.J. Brown caught six passes for 109 yards and a TD.

MIAMI RISES TO NO. 2, OKLAHOMA ENTERS TOP 10 IN AP POLL
The top four teams in the AP Top 25 poll underwent some reshuffling Sunday, as Miami rose two spots to No. 2 after a thorough win over rival Florida.
Idle Ohio State remained No. 1, but the Hurricanes moved past Penn State and LSU for the second spot. Penn State also had the weekend off and LSU defeated FCS opponent Southeastern Louisiana 56-10.
Miami (4-0) held the Gators to 141 total yards, seven first downs and an 0-for-13 rate on third-down conversion attempts. The Hurricanes also relied on their running game, with Mark Fletcher Jr. and CharMar Brown combining for 196 yards and three touchdowns.
Georgia and Oregon remained Nos. 5 and 6, and Oklahoma jumped four places to No. 7 after defeating Auburn 24-17. Auburn dropped from the No. 22 ranking last week to the first team out of this week’s poll.
Rounding out the top 10 were Florida State, Texas A&M and Texas. Florida State slipped one spot despite beating Kent State 66-10; Texas dropped from No. 8 to No. 10 after a 55-0 win over Sam Houston.
The biggest riser and faller were Indiana and Illinois, respectively. The Hoosiers steamrolled the Fighting Illini 63-10 in one of the few ranked-versus-ranked matchups of the week.
That pushed Indiana up eight spots to No. 11, while Illinois plummeted 14 spots to No. 23, thanks to its first loss of the season.
Similarly to Indiana, Texas Tech enjoyed a big bump in the poll after earning its fourth win of the season in convincing fashion, 34-10 at then-No. 16 Utah. The Red Raiders climbed five spots to No. 12 this week.
The two teams to enter the top 25were TCU (No. 24) and BYU (No. 25), both 3-0. The Horned Frogs took down SMU 35-24, and the Cougars won 34-13 at East Carolina. Utah and Auburn dropped out.
The full top 25 is as follows:
1. Ohio State (3-0)
2. Miami (4-0)

SEC: REFS MISSED ‘UNFAIR TACTIC’ ON OKLAHOMA TD IN WIN OVER AUBURN
The Southeastern Conference criticized one of its officiating crews for missing a “hideout tactic” used on a touchdown pass by No. 11 Oklahoma in its 24-17 victory over No. 22 Auburn on Saturday afternoon in Norman, Okla.
The Sooners should have been assessed a 15-yard penalty for team unsportsmanlike conduct, according to an SEC statement late Saturday night. Instead, wide receiver Isaiah Sategna III was wide open when he scored on a 24-yard pass from John Mateer for a 10-3 lead with 10:45 left in the second quarter.
Sategna had jogged along the line of scrimmage toward the Sooners’ bench, seemingly headed out of the game — as if he was getting replaced with a substitution on second down. But Sategna stopped short of the sideline and lined up for the snap.
“No simulated replacements or substitutions may be used to confuse opponents,” the SEC statement said, citing NCAA football rule 9-2, article 2, which is labeled “unfair tactics.”
“No tactic associated with substitutes or the substitution process may be used to confess opponents,” the statement continued. “This includes any hideout tactic with or without a substitution. The officiating crew did not properly interpret the action as a hideout tactic. If properly officiated, the second down play should have resulted in a team unsportsmanlike conduct penalty of 15 yards assessed from the previous spot.”
The SEC added that “appropriate accountability will be applied” and that the conference will not make additional comments.
Auburn coach Hugh Freeze had a comment after the game, contending that the Tigers had tried to call timeout when they saw Sategna stay on the field but the officials said they didn’t hear them.
“We were instructed all offseason about deception plays and things. We’ll see what’s said. I really don’t know what will be said about that,” said Freeze, who added that “I better be quiet” to avoid getting a fine from the league for criticizing officials.
ESPN reported that Oklahoma coach Brent Venables said afterward that there was not deception and said the Sooners confirmed with an official that Sategna had properly lined up for the snap and that “everything was good and legal.”
Sategna had nine receptions for 127 yards in the teams’ conference opener, including the one touchdown as the Sooners improved to 4-0 overall and the Tigers dropped to 3-1.

MLB ROUNDUP: DESPITE LOSS, BREWERS REWARDED WITH NL CENTRAL CROWN
The Milwaukee Brewers may have lost Sunday’s game to the St. Louis Cardinals 5-1 in St. Louis, but they won an even bigger prize: the National League Central.
Milwaukee clinched its third straight division title after the second-place Chicago Cubs lost 1-0 to the Cincinnati Reds. The Brewers’ divisional triumph came despite them being unable to do much against the Cardinals. Joey Ortiz had two hits, including a triple, while Jackson Chourio drove in Milwaukee’s only run of the game with a sacrifice fly.
Robert Gasser (0-1) served as the Brewers’ opener, allowing two runs on two walks and a hit over three innings. Erick Fedde struggled versus his former team, giving up three runs off three walks and a hit during his four frames.
Jose Fermin led the charge for the Cardinals with three RBIs, while Ivan Herrera hit a two-run homer to help St. Louis take two of three games from Milwaukee. Matthew Liberatore (8-12) excelled over five innings of work, giving up just one run on five hits.
Blue Jays 8, Royals 5
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Andres Gimenez each had two RBIs, four relievers held Kansas City to one run and Toronto clinched its fourth postseason berth in six seasons with a road victory.
Guerrero and Gimenez joined George Springer and Ernie Clement with two hits apiece for the Blue Jays, who broke out to snap a four-game skid in which they totaled three runs. Brendon Little, Seranthony Dominguez (4-4), Eric Lauer and Jeff Hoffman (32nd save) helped keep the Royals from sweeping this three-game set.
Salvador Perez recorded career RBI No. 1,012 to match Hal McRae for second on the all-time list for Kansas City, which finished 43-38 at home. Michael Wacha (9-13) allowed a trio of runs in both the second and fifth innings, allowing six earned runs on eight hits over five innings.
Reds 1, Cubs 0

Cincinnati won its fifth straight and is tied with the New York Mets, five games behind San Diego for the No. 2 wild card. for the NL’s third and final wild-card spot. Andrew Abbott threw 4 2/3 innings, allowing five hits while striking out two and walking one. Nick Martinez (11-13) threw 2 1/3 perfect frames in relief.
Jameson Taillon (10-7) pitched seven quality innings for the Cubs, allowing a run on five hits while striking out four and walking none. Chicago has dropped four straight since clinching a postseason berth on Wednesday.
Twins 6, Guardians 2
Brooks Lee blasted a go-ahead two-run homer in the sixth inning and Royce Lewis added a pinch-hit three-run homer in the seventh to help Minnesota end Cleveland’s 10-game winning streak with a win in Minneapolis.
Kody Clemens contributed two hits, an RBI and run scored for the Twins, who ended a five-game skid. Minnesota starter Simeon Woods Richardson allowed two runs and three hits over five innings, striking out three and walking two.
Steven Kwan swatted a leadoff homer for the Guardians, but they collected just three singles the rest of the way, missing an opportunity to move into a tie for first in the American League Central after trailing the Detroit Tigers by 15 1/2 games in early July.
Yankees 7, Orioles 1 (10)
Ben Rice hit a grand slam before an out was recorded in the 10th inning as New York pulled out a victory against host Baltimore.
The Yankees had five hits and scored six runs in the 10th, most notably Rice’s 24th homer of the season. He went 4-for-5 with five RBIs, accounting for nearly half of the team’s 10 hits. New York won three of four games in the series as it stayed in the AL East race, two games behind the first-place Toronto Blue Jays.
Samuel Basallo homered for the Orioles, whose offense let down starter Kyle Bradish. He worked six innings, allowing one run on two hits. Kade Strowd (0-1), who began the 10th on the mound, took the loss. David Bednar (6-5) was the winning pitcher after throwing a scoreless ninth, improving to 4-0 since joining the Yankees this summer.
Pirates 11, Athletics 0
Joey Bart hit a three-run home run and Jared Triolo added a two-run shot as each finished with four hits in host Pittsburgh’s blowout win in its home finale.
Carmen Mlodzinski (5-8) pitched three innings for the win after Mike Burrows opened the game by giving up five hits with three strikeouts over four innings. The Pirates recorded their MLB-best 19th shutout of the season and their second straight following a five-game losing streak.
Brent Rooker had two hits for the Athletics, who were held scoreless in the final 22 innings of the series. Starter Mitch Spence (3-6) seven runs (six earned) on nine hits over 3 1/3 innings to take the loss.

Houston starter Jason Alexander (4-2) failed to make it out of the second inning after surrendering seven runs on seven hits and a walk.

Rays 7, Red Sox 3

GOLF NEWS
DOUG BARRON’S WILD RALLY, BUNKER SHOT, LAND HIM PURE INSURANCE TITLE
Doug Barron closed with three straight birdies — the last one coming after he hit into a pair of bunkers — to cap a final charge up the leaderboard and stun the field Sunday, winning the PGA Tour Champions’ Pure Insurance Championship in Monterrey, Calif.
Barron, who began the day four strokes off the lead and tied for sixth, carded a 6-under-par 66 in the final round and finished at 12-under 204 for the tournament. Fiji’s Vijay Singh finished second, one stroke back at 11 under after a final-round 69.
The $2.4 million event used both the Pebble Beach and Spyglass Hill par-72 courses for Friday and Saturday. Only Pebble Beach was played on Sunday.
Sitting at 11 under heading to par-5 18, Barron hit his tee shot into a bunker to the right of the fairway. From there, he sent his ball down the fairway but to the left edge, where his ball bounced straight left and into another fairway bunker.
His third shot then landed pin-high on the green, bounced to the back of the green and rolled back a bit toward the hole. With the hole placed near the back of the green, Barron tapped his ball and let it run down the hill, finding the left edge of the cup before slowly falling in.
Barron pumped his fist repeatedly and gave out a yell after making what turned out to be the tournament-winning putt.
“The nerves got me off the tee, I (hit the ball right),” Barron said after the tournament about 18. “I was just chipping driver (out of the first bunker), I wasn’t worried about getting in trouble … but the second shot bothered me because I hit it in the bunker (again).
“But I told my caddie, I said I’m just going to play a really thin shot, but the air’s heavy and the ball’s not going anywhere, and if I got to the back of the green, I’m fine with that. … Our goal all week, just get a putt somehow, and it was cool.”
Barron dedicated the win to his father, who died in January and played in the Monterrey Peninsula for years, he said.
The win is fourth of the 56-year-old Barron’s career and his first this season.
New Zealand’s Steven Alker, tied for the 36-hole lead entering the day, shot an even-par 72 and finished tied for third at 10 under. South Africa’s Retief Goosen also finished at 10-uner 206 after shooting the low round of the tournament, a 7-under 65.
A quartet of golfers rounded at the top five tied at 8-under 208: Justin Leonard (70 on Sunday), Fred Couples (70), Y.E. Yang of South Korea (70) and Stewart Cink (72).
Canadian Mike Weir, tied for the lead with Alker after two rounds, shot a 3-over 75 on Sunday to finish tied for ninth at 209.
RAIN FORCES CANCELLATION OF WALMART NW ARKANSAS CHAMPIONSHIP
The Walmart NW Arkansas Championship has been canceled due to heavy rain this weekend and a less-than-desirable forecast, the LPGA announced Sunday morning.
Dangerous weather conditions suspended play in the second round at 3:25 p.m. local time on Saturday at Pinnacle Country Club in Rogers, Ark.
“The course received 3.25 (inches) of rain last night and after having assessed the golf course and consulted with our meteorologist and superintendent, the golf course is unplayable,” the LPGA said in a statement. “Based on the weather forecast for the remainder of today and all-day Monday and Tuesday, it is highly unlikely that 36 holes could be completed to make it an official event.
“As a result, the decision has been made to cancel the remainder of the tournament, with only [each] player’s 18-hole score counting.”
With scores reverting to 18 holes, the scheduled 54-hole event will be unofficial with no CME points awarded. The LPGA will later announce how the purse will be distributed.
Sarah Schmelzel and Minami Katsu of Japan each carded an 8-under-par 63 in the first round, while Alison Lee had improved to 8 under after playing her first three holes Saturday in 1 under. Lee, however, will return to 7-under, along with Lilia Vu, Spain’s Carlota Ciganda, Japan’s Nasa Hataoka, Ireland’s Leona Maguire and South Korea’s Somi Lee.

JONATHAN TAYLOR’S 3 TDS KEEPS COLTS UNDEFEATED WITH 41-20 THUMPING OF WINLESS TITANS
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Jonathan Taylor ran for 102 yards and three touchdowns and the Indianapolis Colts continued their best start since 2009 by beating the hapless Tennessee Titans 41-20 Sunday.
The Colts are now 3-0 and off to their best start since 2009 when Peyton Manning led them to the AFC championship.
Kenny Moore put the Colts ahead to stay on the third offensive play of the game. He picked off rookie Cam Ward and went 32 yards for the pick-6.
Tyquan Lewis had two of the Colts’ four sacks in a game they outgained Tennessee 145-34 and led 17-3 after the first quarter in a game Indy controlled throughout.
Daniel Jones now has as many victories this season as he had in his last 16 starts over two seasons with the New York Giants. Jones also has yet to have a pass intercepted as he threw for 228 yards and a touchdown to Michael Pittman.
The Titans (0-3) have lost nine straight going back to last season. They played without three starters, including right tackle JC Latham and right guard Kevin Zeitler.
Cam Ward bounced back from his first interception of the season by throwing for 219 yards and a TD.
Tennessee’s best success came in finally forcing the Colts to punt for the first time this season with 9:19 left in the second quarter. Rigoberto Sanchez had to punt after the Colts went three-and-out. Spencer Shrader also missed his first field goal of the season wide right after making his first 10.
Shrader’s miss followed the Titans allowing Joey Slye to try a 64-yarder after making his first two field goals Sunday and first 10 of the season. Slye’s try had the distance but was wide right. Grover Stewart blocked Slye’s 62-yarder just before halftime, and Shrader hit from 36 yards for a 20-6 halftime lead.
The Colts went up 27-6 when Jones found Michael Pittman for a 20-yard touchdown to start the third quarter. Taylor made it 34-20 with a 46-yard TD run in the third.
Tennessee finally turned in its longest scoring drives of the season when it was too late to matter.
Ward led the Titans on a 13-play, 73-yard drive before Tony Pollard finished with a 1-yard TD plunge. They topped that with a 16-play drive for 77 yards capped by Ward’s 8-yard TD pass to Elic Ayomanor midway through the fourth.
Injuries
Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce was evaluated for a concussion after his head bounced off the turf trying to haul in a pass from Jones late in the third. He was ruled out early in the fourth quarter. CB Charvarius Ward Sr., who just cleared the concussion protocol Saturday, was hurt in the fourth quarter.
And Moore was ruled out with about 12 minutes left with an injured calf.
Up next
The Colts visit the Los Angeles Rams, and the Titans start a three-game swing at Houston.

INDIANA FEVER
GAME RECAP: MITCHELL SCORES 34 AS FEVER WIN IN LAS VEGAS IN GAME 1
Kelsey Mitchell went off for 34 points to lead the sixth-seeded Indiana Fever to an 89-73 road win over the second-seeded Las Vegas Aces on Sunday afternoon in Game 1 of the WNBA Semifinals.
Mitchell’s 34 points were the second-most by a Fever player in a playoff game in franchise history, as the All-Star guard and 2025 WNBA MVP finalist went 12-for-23 from the field, 4-for-6 from 3-point range, and 6-for-6 from the free throw line.
The Fever got off to a fast start on Sunday, jumping out to a 19-10 lead. The Aces rallied, scoring the final eight points of the first quarter and first five of the second quarter to take a brief lead, but Indiana was back in front 41-36 at halftime.
The Fever had pushed the margin to 57-43 midway through the third quarter before Las Vegas used a 12-1 run to get back within three. But the Fever scored the final 11 points of the frame to get back up by double digits and the Aces never seriously threatened in the fourth quarter.
Odyssey Sims tallied 17 points and three steals for the Fever, while Natasha Howard recorded a double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds. Aliyah Boston added six points, 11 boards, and five assists.
The Fever defense limited A’ja Wilson, who was named the 2025 WNBA MVP earlier on Sunday, to 16 points on just 6-of-22 shooting. Wilson did pull down 13 rebounds.
Jackie Young added 19 points and seven rebounds for Las Vegas, while Chelsea Gray finished with 13 points, five boards, and four assists.
The Fever and Aces will meet again for Game 2 in the best-of-five series on Tuesday night in Las Vegas at 9:30 PM ET. The series will then shift to Gainbridge Fieldhouse for Game 3 on Friday at 7:30 PM ET.

INDIANAPOLIS INDIANS
VELÁZQUEZ VANQUISHES STRIPERS, 6-4, IN SEASON FINALE WITH GO-AHEAD HOMER
LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. – Nelson Velázquez flipped the scoreboard with a two-run shot in the eighth inning to grant the Indianapolis Indians a 6-4 victory over the Gwinnett Stripers in the 2025 season finale on Sunday afternoon at Coolray Field. The Indians finished the campaign with a 87-62 record, marking their second-most wins in a season in the Victory Field era behind a 89-55 record in 2012.
With a 4-3 deficit in the eighth, Nick Solak got aboard to represent the tying run with a lead-off single, setting up Velázquez for a go-ahead, two-run blast off Amos Willingham (L, 1-1) to seal the victory for Indy (45-30, 87-62).
Sammy Siani led off the contest for the Indians with a single, moved over to second on a stolen base and scored on a Velázquez double to open the scoring. Gwinnett (34-41, 63-87) responded in their half of the first with their own lead-off single and a one-out walk before Carlos Rodríguez tied the game with an RBI double.
The Indians retook the lead in the second when Ryan Kreidler knocked a lead-off double, Mike Jarvis was hit by a pitch and Siani drove them both in with his second single of the day to make it a 3-1 game.
The Stripers worked back to tie the game with an RBI single from Rodríguez in the third and a solo home run from Connor Capel in the fourth. They finally eclipsed the Indians with a solo homer from David McCabe before Velázquez’s game-winning blast.
Indy added an insurance in the top of the ninth when Jase Bowen reached on a walk and scored on a fielding error following a single from Solak.
Drake Fellows and Jarod Bayless each tossed 3.0 innings before giving way to Eddy Yean (W, 8-5), Ryan Harbin and Cam Sanders (S, 5), who each tossed 1.0 inning to close out the win.
The Indians have won three straight regular season finales for the first time since at least 2005. Indy opens the 2026 season at Victory Field on March 27 against the St. Paul Saints.

INDY ELEVEN
RECAP
Indianapolis – Indy Eleven scored two second-half goals in a six-minute span to rally to a key 2-1 victory over USL Championship Eastern Conference opponent Birmingham Legion FC in front of 10,375 at Carroll Stadium. The win moves the Boys in Blue to one point out of playoff position behind Rhode Island FC with five games remaining in the regular season.
Indy Eleven tied the match at 1-1 in the 54th minute off a well-executed free kick. Defender Brian Schaefer started the sequence from midfield with a long ball to the edge of the area, where forward Romario Williams headed it down to captain Aodhan Quinn. That duo then executed a give-and-go with Quinn giving it to Williams on the edge of the area and getting it back inside the six. Quinn then centered it to forward Edward Kizza who finished it into the bottom right corner.
It is Kizza’s third goal this season and the 20th of his USLC regular season career. For Quinn, it is his team-high eighth assist of the campaign and the 58th in the USLC regular season, good for a tie for second on the USLC all-time list with former Indy Eleven player Solomon Asante.
Quinn recorded a hockey assist on the game-winning goal in the 60th minute. After a Birmingham hand ball, Quinn took the ensuing free kick from just inside the right sideline and played it to the edge of the six, where Schaefer went high to flick it to defender Ben Ofeimu, who volleyed it home. It is Ofeimu’s career-best third this season and it is the first Indy Eleven point for Schaefer, who joined the Boys in Blue on September 3 on loan from FC Cincinnati 2.
The Indy Eleven defense limited Birmingham to just one shot on target, a free kick goal by Peter-Lee Vassell in the 12th minute.
Indy Eleven hosts Western Conference leader FC Tulsa on Saturday at 7 pm on Oktoberfest at Carroll Stadium.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. – The Notre Dame volleyball team fell Sunday on the road at Michigan in three sets, 23-25, 22-25, 21-25. The Irish are now 3-5 on the season.
Maya Baker notched a career-high 26 assists in just her second true road game. The freshman now has four games with 20 or more assists.
Morgan Gaerte finished the afternoon with 11 kills. The 2025 Preseason All-ACC Selection has finished with double-digit kills in every match this season. Sydney Helmers added seven herself, four in the second set, while Chichi Nnaji totaled seven kills on just twelve attempts.
Notre Dame got five service aces, two each from Lucy Trump and Anna Bjork. Trump now has 12 aces on the season, a team-high.
How it happened
After falling behind early, the Irish used a 4-0 run, highlighted by kills from Morgan Gaerte and Chichi Nnaji, to take a 16-14 lead in the first set. Later in the set, two consecutive Michigan service errors gave the Irish a 20-19 lead, forcing the Wolverines to call a timeout.
Out of that timeout, Michigan ripped off a 4-1 run to make it 23-21. The Wolverines would register a pair of kills after that to win the first set close, 25-23. Michigan tallied 17 kills on a .351 hitting percentage in the first set to claim the early lead.
The Irish got Gaerte going more to start the second set. The sophomore started the second set a perfect 3-for-3 on attacking attempts, but it was the Wolverines with an 8-6 lead at the first timeout. An 8-1 shortly after that made it 17-9 Michigan.
Notre Dame didn’t back down. A 3-0 run forced a Wolverines timeout, capped off by Grace Langer’s first kill of the afternoon. The Irish got within two before Michigan’s defense got back-to-back blocks that led to an eventual 25-22 second set win. Gaerte and Sydney Helmers combined for nine kills in the set.
The Wolverines continued their impressive play over the weekend, jumping out to a 7-1 lead to open the third set. The Irish clawed back with a service ace from Anna Bjork and multiple kills from Grace Langer to get back within three. But Michigan would never surrender the lead in the set, even after a late Irish push, and take it 25-21 to win the match.

INTERNATIONAL BIG MAN KEVIN NDZIE JOINS BUTLER BASKETBALL PROGRAM FOR UPCOMING SEASON
Kevin Ndzie has signed with the Butler men’s basketball program and will join the Bulldogs beginning with the upcoming 2025-26 season. He has been enrolled at the university throughout the fall semester.
A 7-1 center with a nearly 7-4 wingspan from Yaounde, Cameroon, Ndzie has played in several leagues throughout Italy over the past few years. Earlier in 2025, Ndzie played with the Cameroon Senior National Team in qualifying games for 2025 FIBA AfroBasket.
“Playing in Europe and representing Cameroon in international competition has given Kevin tremendous experience that he will bring to our program,” said Butler head coach Thad Matta. “His length really stands out and will be impactful in our league. We are excited he’s a Bulldog.”
He most recently played for Urania Milano in Italian Serie A2. He averaged 3.5 points and 4.0 rebounds per game during the 2024-25 season. He shot 58 percent from the field and 82 percent from the free throw line during the season.
He had a season-best 15 rebounds in the Jan. 24 win over Pallacanestro Cantu. It was one of 10 games where he pulled down seven or more rebounds. He scored a season-high 13 points against UCC Piacenza Jan. 29.
The Bulldogs will have 19 games on the Hinkle portion of the 2025-26 schedule, beginning with a Friday, Oct. 17 exhibition against Notre Dame. Butler welcomes Boise State to Hinkle for a Saturday, Dec. 6 tip in a game that begins a home-and-home series with the Broncos. The Bulldogs will host all 10 BIG EAST conference foes this season, starting with a game against Providence Saturday, Dec. 13.
Butler enters the 2025-26 season off an appearance in the inaugural College Basketball Crown. Coach Thad Matta’s Bulldogs have added five impact transfers in Michael Ajayi (Gonzaga), Yame Butler (Drexel), Jalen Jackson (Purdue Fort Wayne), Drayton Jones (South Carolina State), and Yohan Traore (SMU). That group joins returners Finley Bizjack, who averaged 10.3 points per game for the Bulldogs last season; Jamie Kaiser Jr., who missed the entire 2024-25 season with an ankle injury; and Evan Haywood, who started both College Basketball Crown games. Butler also welcomes a Top 25 recruiting class.

CARDINALS CAPTURE TEAM TITLE AT E.Y. INVITE, AND JOHNSTON OUTLASTS HARRIS IN FOUR-HOLE PLAYOFF FOR INDIVIDUAL TITLE
MUNCIE, Ind. — Luke Johnston and Samuel Harris, freshmen whose college careers began just a month ago, dueled through a four-hole playoff Sunday afternoon at Delaware Country Club before Johnston birdied Hole #11 for the individual title at the Earl Yestingsmeier Invitational.
Johnston had led the tournament through 36 holes on Saturday, tying a Ball State record for the lowest 36-hole score at 129 (65-64), though Harris was only two strokes behind at 131 (65-66). Sunday, after early rains dampened the par-70 track just east of Muncie, Harris regained those two strokes and finished the 54-hole event with another program record with a 54-hole low score of 198. Moments after Harris finished his final round at 3-under-par 67, Johnston shot par on #18 also to finish his final round at 1-under and set up a playoff between the pair of freshman.
While Johnston and Harris battled for individual supremacy, Ball State (813, -27) outdistanced Butler (816, -24) for the team championship. Butler’s Derek Tabor shot the tournament’s best round on Sunday with a 65 (-5), to finish tied in third place behind Johnston and Harris. Titus Boswell of IU Indy and Shane Ochs of Wright State shared the third-place tie, and Ball State’s Carter Smith tied for sixth. Two more Butler golfers, Logan Sutto and Marius Reierson, tied in 10th place as Ball State and Butler eached placed three golfers in the tournament’s top 11 finishers.
Johnston and Harris battled head-to-head over four final playoff holes, each firing par on the 1st, 18th and 1st greens before Johnston distanced himself with a birdie on #11. It was a hole he knew well, firing birdie on #11 in all three regulation rounds, then again for the playoff and individual crown.
Johnston and Harris finished as co-medalists before Johnston won the playoff round — both finishing with the program record for individual scores (198). It was Smith’s 2023 mark of 199 that stood as the previous record. As a team, the Cardinals also broke their program record for a 54-hole low score (813), beating a prior record of 818.
Ball State returns to its home course at DCC on Oct. 6-7 while hosting its Golfweek “Put Me In Coach” individual event.

SYCAMORE VOLLEYBALL SWEEPS TIGER INVITATIONAL IN NASHVILLE
Nashville, Tenn. – Indiana State volleyball took a 3-0 sweep on Sept. 18-19 at the Tiger Invitational, hosted by Tennessee State. The Sycamores move to 6-6 on the season before the start of conference play.
Indiana State opened play with a win versus TSU (25-14, 25-12, 25-18) on Thursday. On Friday, they closed with two big wins versus Idaho (22-25, 25-15, 25-20, 25-23) and Chattanooga (18-25, 27-25, 25-14, 25-27, 15-13).
Match One: Indiana State 3, Tennessee State 0
Set 1 | Indiana State 25, Tennessee State 14
The Sycamores opened the set with a kill by Ella Scott; however, Tennessee State quickly bounced back. In the first half of the set, it was back and forth with kills on both sides.
A kill by Emily Weber and several strong serves from Ava Robart began to build the Sycamores’ lead. The Trees and Tigers were going two-for-one in points before a 7-1 run led by kills from Kira Holland and Ava Robart extended Indiana State’s lead before taking the set 25-14. Indiana State ended the set on five-straight kills. The Sycamores came out hitting a 0.372% with Ava Robart hitting a 0.636%.
Set 2 | Indiana State 25, Tennessee State 12
Building on the momentum of the first set, the Sycamores opened with a kill by Kira Holland. Tennessee State attempted to get its offense going; however, the Sycamores’ offense kept pace. An early 5-1 run on the back of errors from TSU gave the Trees all the edge needed to hold for the rest of the set. The Sycamores went on to score three-to-four points for every point that the Tigers were able to score. Capped off with a kill by Kimora Whetstone, the Sycamores were looking to put the match away. The Sycamores improved their offense, hitting a 0.429% and recorded a total of eight blocks.
Set 3 | Indiana State 25, Tennessee State 18
With the match on the line, the Sycamores bounced back from a service error with a Curry Kendall kill. The Tigers battled to keep this set within reach. The duo of Ava Robart and Kira Holland had the hot hands and continued to put the ball away. A 14-5 run for the Sycamores on the backs of kills by Ava Robart, Ella Soctt, Curry Kendall, and Kimora Whetstone allowed them to build an eight-point lead late into the set. This proved too difficult for the Tigers to bounce back from, and a kill by Kira Holland closed the deal for the Trees. The Sycamores finished their impressive hitting match with a .425% with Curry Kendall hitting .600%.
Match Two: Indiana State 3, Idaho 1
Set 1 | Idaho 25, Indiana State 22
The Sycamores didn’t come out as hot as the first match but still held pace with Idaho through the early stages of the first set. The early part of the set was back and forth, with neither team earning more than two points in a row. It was not until Idaho went on a 6-0 run to take a 17-10 lead that the Trees ultimately could not recover from, but came close bringing the set within two, 24-22.
Set 2 | Indiana State 25, Idaho 14
An early 7-2 lead for the Trees came from two back-to-back kills by Ava Robart and Curry Kendall, which made the difference in the set as the closest margin from here was only four points. Idaho tried to fight back, but the Trees exploded to take a 10-point, 17-7 lead, with contributions from Emily Weber, Kira Holland, Curry Kendall, and Ella Scott.
Set 3 | Indiana State 25, Idaho 20
The Sycamores carried their momentum into set three, going on an early 4-1 lead thanks to kills by Ava Robart and Ella Scott. The Vandals quickly tied the set at four apiece before battling point for point for a majority of the set. It was not until a late ace by Ava Robart that gave the Sycamores a three-point, 19-16 lead. Idaho attempted to battle back, but kills from Robart, Kira Holland, and Scott late in the set helped send the Sycamores into the fourth with a 2-1 lead in the match.
Set 4 | Indiana State 25, Idaho 23
With the match on the line, both teams came out looking to win and continued the back-and-forth match trend. The Vandals took control, jumping ahead 16-10 from three-straight Sycamore attack errors. After a quick timeout, the Trees ignited and battled all the way back. After Idaho went ahead 19-12, Indiana State closed the match with a 13-4 run to secure the victory. Kills by A block from Ella Scott and Emily Weber, plus an error by Idaho, brought the Sycamores within two, 19-17. Indiana State took the late lead from a kill by Ava Robart, an ace by Kira Holland, and a kill by Curry Kendall.
Match Three: Indiana State 3, Chattanooga 2
Set 1 | Chattanooga 25, Indiana State 18
The Sycamores found themselves down quickly, falling to an early 7-1 deficit to Chattanooga. Multiple Sycamores found ways to score moving through the set, eventually cutting into the lead and trailing only 14-12 following a kill by Curry Kendall. That small deficit didn’t last long, as the Mocs jumped ahead 20-14 mostly from recording kills. UTC in set one hit at a .469 clip compared to the Sycamores at .178.
Set 2 | Indiana State 27, Chattanooga 25
In set two, both teams were trading runs of two-to-three points, keeping the score close much of the set, with neither team having a lead larger than 3 points at a time. The largest lead came at 14-10 in favor of the Trees following a pair of UTC errors and an Ava Robart kill, but that was erased after a kill from the Mocs and three-straight attack errors by Indiana State. The set remained close the rest of the way. Being tied 25-25, back-to-back kills by Ella Scott and Curry Kendall led the Sycamores to the set win.
Set 3 | Indiana State 25, Chattanooga 14
The trend continued to hold true – early in the set, neither team could take an advantage. Finally, it was Indiana State that sparked the first run of the set and took control with a 17-9 lead following kills by Ella Scott, Curry Kendall, and Kimora Whetstone, only for Ella Scott to record a pair of aces. An ace by Avery Hales and kills from Holland put the nail in the coffin for the set, but it was Indiana State’s hitting that proved the main difference. The Sycamores hit .630 in the set without a single attack error.
Set 4 | Chattanooga 26, Indiana State 24
The Sycamores’ momentum from set three carried into set four, but it didn’t last. UTC slowly took the momentum, taking a 15-10 lead midway through the set. The Sycamores battled closely, tying the match at 17-17 with an ace by Avery Hales, a kill by Curry Kendall, and a big block by Kendall and Ella Scott. The match remained tight the rest of the way, but the difference in the set were three kills by the Mocs and two attack errors by Indiana State.
Set 5 | Indiana State 15, Chattanooga 13
The start of the set was all Chattanooga. Two attack errors by Indiana State and an UTC kill put them up 4-1, and eventually that grew to a 7-3 lead in the shortened fifth set. That lead held, despite all efforts by Indiana State, until the score reached 12-10. The Sycamores took over. Three-straight kills from Kira Holland, Ella Scott, and Holland again gave Indiana State the lead. Finally, back-to-back kills from Holland sent the Sycamores to the 3-2, five-setter victory and clinched the undefeated tournament in Nashville.
