EAGLES’ DEFENSE SHUTS DOWN PACKERS IN LOW-SCORING WIN
GREEN BAY, Wis. — Jalen Hurts turned consecutive big plays into Philadelphia’s only touchdown to back a dominant performance by the Eagles’ defense in a 10-7 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Monday night.
Green Bay’s Brandon McManus was short on a 64-yard field goal on the final play of the game.
Nursing a 3-0 lead early in the fourth quarter, the Eagles needed just four plays to cover 80 yards and go in front 10-0. The Packers answered with an 11-play, 75-yard march for a 6-yard touchdown run by Josh Jacobs to pull within 10-7.
The Packers got the ball back on their own 36 with 27 seconds left. Jordan Love passed to Bo Melton for 19 yards to the Philadelphia 46. Love spiked the ball to stop the clock, then was incomplete on a short pass, forcing the long field-goal attempt.
The Eagles (7-2), who lead the NFC East by 3 1/2 games over the Dallas Cowboys, won their third straight after back-to-back losses.
Green Bay (5-3-1), which fell a half-game behind the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears in the NFC North, has lost two straight, scoring just one touchdown in each defeat.
Hurts completed 15 of 26 passes for 183 yards and a TD. Saquon Barkley carried 22 times for 60 yards.
Love connected on 20 of 36 passes for 176 yards. Jacobs finished with 74 yards on 21 carries.
Philadelphia got back-to-back long pass plays to go in front 10-0 with 10:35 remaining. On third-and-7, Hurts hit Barkley with a quick toss to the left flat that he turned into a 41-yard gain to the Green Bay 36-yard line. Hurts then connected with DeVonta Smith, who made a leaping grab over a defender at the goal line.
Green Bay answered on its ensuing possession, capitalizing on a pass-interference call for a first down at the Philadelphia 13. Jacobs’ touchdown cut the deficit to 10-7 with 5:49 left.
The Eagles punted on their next possession, with Green Bay taking over on its own 10 with 2:18 remaining. On fourth-and-1, Jacobs fumbled, and Philadelphia recovered at the Green Bay 35 with 1:26 left.
After a scoreless first half, the Eagles got on the board on their opening possession of the third quarter on Jake Elliott’s 39-yard field goal.
Neither team generated much offense during a mistake-filled first half. The Eagles had 125 yards total offense, while Green Bay managed just 83 yards and was 0-for-5 on third-down conversions.
The Eagles wound up with a 294-261 edge in total yards.
RAHEEM MORRIS: NO STAFF CHANGES ON HORIZON AFTER FALCONS’ 4TH STRAIGHT LOSS
As the Atlanta Falcons flail through their second four-game losing streak in as many seasons under Raheem Morris, the second-year head coach maintains that there will be no staff changes coming, at least not this week.
“No, we’ve got a really good group here,” said Morris, whose team fell 31-25 in overtime to the Indianapolis Colts in Berlin on Sunday. “We have a really good group of guys. We’ve been in two tough games in back-to-back weeks versus two really good football teams.”
The Falcons fired wide receivers coach Ike Hilliard back on Sept. 22, but Morris’ answer Monday in a virtual press conference implies that offensive coordinator Zac Robinson and defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich are safe, among others.
Atlanta’s recent issues go further than allowing Indianapolis’ Jonathan Taylor to rush for 244 yards, which were 19th-most in a game in NFL history. Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. ranks 31st among qualified passers with a 58.8% completion percentage and Atlanta’s offense has converted just 3 of 29 (10.3%) third-down attempts across its last three games. Atlanta was 0-for-8 on Sunday.
As Morris’ seat continues to warm, the problems are piling up for the 3-6 Falcons.
“First of all, we’ve got to get shorter third downs,” Morris told reporters Monday. “We had a couple more long third downs yesterday. The other thing about it is we’ve got to execute better. We’ve got to execute what (Penix) is saying, what he’s telling us to do. … Mike’s got to play better. He wants to play better. He’s always going to be very hard on himself. But he’s a young man. He’s a first-year quarterback and we’ve got to play better for him and around him.”
With each passing loss, it’s becoming more likely that the Falcons will see their postseason drought extended to eight seasons. Atlanta is tied with the Carolina Panthers for the second-longest active streak. Only the New York Jets have waited longer for a return to the playoffs (they last made it in 2010).
If there is any glimmer of hope for the Falcons, it’s that their next three opponents (Carolina, the Jets and the New Orleans Saints) have a combined record of 9-20 and that Morris has experience with a pair of 3-6 teams that rallied to make the postseason.
Morris was the defensive backs coach for the 2012 Washington Redskins, who won their final seven games to clinch a playoff berth, before serving as the defensive coordinator for the 2023 Los Angeles Rams, who went 7-1 down the stretch to sneak in.
Even so, Morris dismissed the notion that he would use lessons from those teams with this year’s Falcons.
“I don’t like to, because every team has its own individual taste,” Morris said. “What you’d like to do is get better every single day. I don’t think when I was with the Rams or at Washington we ever said, ‘Hey, we’re going to make this run.’ It just kind of happened by getting better and better every day. It’s one step at a time and one day at a time. It’s got to start (at practice) on Wednesday.”
The 2020 Washington Football Team and the 2022 Jacksonville Jaguars are the only teams in league history to make the postseason after starting 3-7.
DAN QUINN TAKES OVER COMMANDERS DC DUTIES FROM JOE WHITT JR.
Commanders head coach Dan Quinn is adding defensive coordinator duties to his Week 11 tasks as Washington brings a five-game losing streak to Madrid, where the Miami Dolphins are the opposition on Sunday.
Defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. moved from the coaches’ box to the sideline on Sunday but the results were no different in a 44-22 loss to the Detroit Lions. Washington (3-7) lost by the same score at Dallas on Oct. 19, the first of four defeats in a row by at least 21 points.
“When something’s not working, we shift from the question of why isn’t it working to what do we need to do to get it right. And right now, that’ll call for some change,” Quinn told reporters Monday. “I’ll take over the role as the defensive coordinator, and all that entails.
“After watching and reviewing the tape, we felt off,” Quinn added later, when asked why the Commanders made the change. “And so I thought, this is the time to add into that and lean in.”
The Commanders are 30th in the NFL in total defense (394.6 yards per game) and 31st against the pass (260.2 yards per game).
Washington is 29th in the league in points allowed (28.0 per game) and has given up 280 total points in 10 games. The Commanders allowed 391 points in 17 games last season.
The Commanders finished the 2024 regular season on a five-game winning streak and reached the NFC Championship Game.
GIANTS COACH BRIAN DABOLL FIRED WITH TEAM AT 2-8 MIDWAY THROUGH HIS 4TH SEASON
NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Giants fired coach Brian Daboll on Monday, moving on from him midway through his fourth season after they dropped to 2-8 with a loss at Chicago.
Offensive coordinator Mike Kafka was named as the interim replacement. The move made by ownership came a day after the Giants blew another late lead and lost 24-20 to the Bears. General manager Joe Schoen remains in his role, and owners John Mara and Steve Tisch said he will lead the search for the next coach.
“We spoke this morning about the direction of our franchise on the field, and we have decided that, at this time, it is in our best interest to make a change at the head coaching position,” Mara and Tisch said in a statement. “The past few seasons have been nothing short of disappointing, and we have not met our expectations for the franchise. We understand the frustrations of our fans, and we will work to deliver a significantly improved product.”
The rest of Daboll’s staff was kept in place, including defensive coordinator Shane Bowen.
New York has lost four in a row since upsetting defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia at home in prime time early last month. That included becoming the first team since 2003 to lead by 18 points with six minutes to play and lose, which the Giants did at Denver on Oct. 19.
This is just the Giants’ third midseason coaching change over the past 95 years. It’s the first since 2017, when Ben McAdoo and general manager Jerry Reese were fired following a 2-10 start.
Daboll went 20-40-1 in his first head-coaching job in the league. He led the Giants to the playoffs in his first season and was named coach of the year, but has gone 11-33 since.
His .336 winning percentage ranks 154th out of 166 coaches with 50-plus games since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger. Daboll is the second coach to be fired this season; Tennessee dismissed Brian Callahan after the Titans started 1-5.
“These are difficult decisions, and John and I do not take them lightly,” Tisch said. “But we feel like this is the right thing to do at this time and will allow us to move forward.”
Daboll, who previously served as Buffalo’s offensive coordinator from 2018-21, had faced increasing pressure about his job security in recent weeks and repeatedly took responsibility for the Giants’ woes.
“Look, you put everything you’ve got into it,” Daboll said. “You look at the things that aren’t where they need to be and you try to fix them. Whether that’s changing things on the schedule, whether that’s different periods of practice, whether that’s changing little parts of the scheme, again, that’s where we’re at. We’re at where we’re at.”
Kafka takes over after another turn of uncertainty in a lost season, following quarterback Jaxson Dart’s concussion against the Bears that forced Russell Wilson back into action. Fellow rookie Cam Skattebo and No. 1 receiver Malik Nabers were already lost for the season because of injuries.
The 38-year-old former assistant joined the Giants after working under Andy Reid in multiple capacities since 2017. He has four games and 16 passes of playing experience from his time with Philadelphia in 2011 after being the starting QB at Northwestern.
Schoen, who is in his fourth season as GM since also being hired from the Bills, got a vote of confidence from Mara and Tisch. Selecting edge rusher Abdul Carter with the third pick, trading back into the first round to get Dart and drafting Skattebo likely played a significant role in Schoen sticking around longer than Daboll.
“We feel like Joe has assembled a good young nucleus of talent, and we look forward to its development,” Mara said. “Unfortunately, the results over the past three years have not been what any of us want. We take full responsibility for those results and look forward to the kind of success our fans expect.”
PANTHERS NOT GETTING ENOUGH OUT OF WR XAVIER LEGETTE, A 2024 FIRST-ROUND PICK
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The Carolina Panthers need someone to step up in the passing game, and that isn’t just quarterback Bryce Young.
While most of the blame has fallen on Young and coach Dave Canales — who calls the offensive plays — after the passing game flopped again on Sunday in a 17-7 loss to the last-place New Orleans Saints, there were plenty of others responsible for this latest offensive debacle.
That contingent includes starting wide receiver and 2024 first-round draft pick Xavier Legette, who pulled another disappearing act against the Saints, failing to catch a pass. Legette hasn’t been able to consistently separate from defensive backs and was targeted just once.
He has just three catches for 39 yards in the past three games.
Take away his career-best nine-catch, 92-yard, one-touchdown performance against New York Jets in Week 7, and Legette has 11 catches for 89 yards in his other seven starts for the Panthers.
When asked directly about Legette’s lack of production, Canales complimented his young wide receiver.
“I think X is running fast,” Canales said. “He’s doing everything we ask of him. I think if you just broaden it out a little bit and look at the full group, we need better execution in general and that starts with me. That starts with myself and making sure that we have the right schemes for our guys.”
Clearly, the Panthers don’t have the right scheme for Legette.
Or maybe it’s time to acknowledge that Legette — who had just one productive season at South Carolina before the Panthers traded up into the bottom of the first round in 2024 and took him 32nd overall — could be a bust.
What needs help
The Panthers’ offensive line, which has endured a series of injuries this season, was dominated by the Saints.
Carolina was outgained 388 yards to 175 on Sunday, and much of that had to do with the line’s inability to open holes or prevent breakdowns in pass protection, which allowed Saints defenders to come racing through the line for a free shot at Young.
He was only sacked twice but was pressured relentlessly and never got comfortable in the pocket.
Rico Dowdle, the league’s third-leading rusher, was held to 53 yards on 18 carries. The Panthers failed to score after Dowdle ran for a TD on the game’s first possession.
“It’s very deflating and not our brand of football and how we want to play,” Dowdle said. “So, we’ve got to come back and get back to work next week and make sure it doesn’t happen again.”
What else needs help
The Panthers continued to struggle against tight ends.
Juwan Johnson became the latest to torch Carolina’s defense, catching four passes for 92 yards, including a 30-yard touchdown catch when he got completely free along the left sideline.
Johnson joins Darren Waller, Jake Ferguson and Hunter Henry as tight ends who have put up big days against the Panthers and found the end zone.
Stock up
Rookie linebacker Nic Scourton is proving to a be a solid find for the Panthers.
He had four tackles, two QB pressures and a sack on fourth down in the second half on Sunday that gave the Panthers an opportunity to take the lead. Young and the offense couldn’t capitalize.
Stock down
CB Jaycee Horn. He is arguably the Panthers’ best defensive player, but Horn admittedly had a rough outing on Sunday, allowing Chris Olave to beat him for a 62-yard touchdown. Horn said after the game that he told his defensive teammates they played great, and that this loss was on him. Horn added that he felt Olave got away with a push-off on the long TD catch, but also said he needs to be more physical with receivers because officials aren’t calling offensive pass interference.
Injuries
TE Michell Evans (ankle) left in the first half on Sunday and linebacker Trevin Wallace (shoulder) exited in the second half. Both will be reevaluated this week.
Key number
8 — The number of games in which Young has failed to throw for more than 200 yards this season in nine starts.
Next steps
The Panthers visit Atlanta for an NFC South clash on Sunday. The Panthers pounded the Falcons 30-0 earlier this season.
THERE’S PLENTY OF BLAME TO GO AROUND FOR THE WASHINGTON COMMANDERS’ FAILURES THIS SEASON
Von Miller refused, not surprisingly, to publicly point a finger at Dan Quinn and his staff to explain what has gone wrong for the Washington Commanders during this failure of a season.
“What’s going on is definitely not on the coaches. They have us super prepared,” Miller said. “We’re physically prepared, mentally prepared, emotionally prepared. DQ does a great job of keeping the morale going and holding on to the standard that we set. I’m not sure where the disconnect is.”
No one, including Quinn, seemed prepared to explain what they think the biggest problems — and possible solutions — are for the Commanders after their latest embarrassing performance, a 44-22 home loss to the Detroit Lions on Sunday. That dropped Washington’s record to 3-7 entering next weekend’s game in Spain against the Miami Dolphins and extended the Commanders’ losing streak to five games.
They’re historically bad at the moment: Each of the past four defeats was by at least 21 points, the longest such skid within a single season by any NFL team since the 2002 Cardinals. No club has dropped five in a row by 21 or more — the record — since the 1965 Steelers.
“I don’t know what to say,” was how linebacker Frankie Luvu put it.
The truth is there’s plenty of blame to go around for this implosion one season after AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Jayden Daniels led the Commanders to a 12-5 record in the regular season and their first appearance in the NFC title game in more than three decades.
It hasn’t helped that Daniels has missed four games because of injuries, including the debacle against Detroit, and will not be available to face Miami, either, as he recovers from a dislocated left elbow. Plenty of other players, including No. 1 receiver Terry McLaurin, have missed time, too.
But every NFL team has to deal with injuries. It’s rare that a defense looks as unprofessional as the unit that Quinn and coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. are responsible for preparing and GM Adam Peters assembled.
“We got a lot of things to fix,” Quinn said Sunday night. “We all are baffled, frustrated, all of that.”
What’s working
Hard to find any silver linings or much that is positive at all with this group currently.
What needs help
The players’ composure. DT Daron Payne, ironically one of the three captains announced by Quinn for the game against Detroit, was suspended by the NFL on Monday for one game without pay after punching Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown during the first half. Payne was ejected for that. On the next play, another defensive lineman, Javon Kinlaw, drew his own unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. “We’ve got to find a way to channel our frustration better or different than that — penalties or in actions that hurt our team,” Quinn said.
Stock up
QB Marcus Mariota. Daniels’ backup played fine, completing 16 of 22 passes for 213 yards, two touchdowns and zero turnovers. (Mariota also had another failed attempt at hurdling a defender.) Washington’s offense was not particularly impressive, but it sure was nowhere close to as bad as the defense.
Stock down
Too many choices for this category, from Peters to Quinn to Whitt to various players up and down the roster, especially if one is comparing this season’s Commanders to last season’s version. It’s not just one play or one series or even one quarter. They just are not even close to competitive, game after game. “At the end of the day, in order to get things going in the right direction, you have to be transparent, you have to be honest,” Mariota said. “And I don’t think we are who we think we are.”
Key number
Zero — That is how many of the Lions’ first eight possessions failed to produce a touchdown or field goal. It’s also the number of sacks Washington’s defense registered.
Next steps
Here’s how bad things are for the Commanders: They are neutral-site underdogs against a bad Dolphins team next Sunday in Madrid. Miami (3-7) is favored by 2 1/2 points, according to BetMGM Sportsbook. The good news for Quinn and Co.? They can’t possibly lose the following week … because that’s when the Commanders get their bye.
QB TREVOR LAWRENCE AND DE JOSH HINES-ALLEN FAIL TO DELIVER IN THE JAGUARS’ HISTORIC COLLAPSE
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — It’s one thing to lose a close game. It’s another to stumble like Jacksonville did at Houston on Sunday.
The Jaguars blew a 19-point lead in the fourth quarter, were outscored 26-0 in the final frame and ended up on the wrong end of a 36-29 stunner. It was the biggest collapse in franchise history and easily one of the most embarrassing outcomes in the team’s 31 years.
Calling it an epic debacle wouldn’t even do it justice.
The Jaguars (5-4) had a chance to essentially eliminate the rival Texans (4-5) from playoff contention and needed to make one extra play down the stretch to get it done. One more completion. One more first down. One more pressure. One more sack.
But quarterback Trevor Lawrence and defensive Josh Hines-Allen — the team’s highest-paid players who are on the books for a combined $70.5 million in 2025 — failed to deliver. And the longtime captains should shoulder the blame.
Lawrence was sacked three times on six drop-backs in the fourth quarter. He also scrambled twice and threw incomplete once. He made a play that looked like it would give Jacksonville a chance late, but his completion to Parker Washington was nullified by offensive lineman Chuma Edoga’s penalty.
Allen, meanwhile, was ineffective in the fourth while going against rookie left tackle Aireontae Ersery and backup quarterback Davis Mills. Allen finished with one quarterback hit.
“I didn’t necessarily think we’re putting these guys in really bad positions,” first-year Jaguars coach Liam Coen said. “You’re trying to hold onto a lead and make them earn it. We let up too many explosive plays.”
The Jags have dropped three of four, with the lone victory coming at Las Vegas in overtime, and will try to regroup against the Los Angeles Chargers (7-3) this weekend.
“Unfortunately, this is what happened,” Lawrence said. “Can’t change it now. It’s over and done. We have to move forward and learn from it. I mean, let that be a chip on our shoulder and a little bit of fire under us for this week of practice. It should sting for a while.”
What’s working
Cam Little has made 12 consecutive kicks since missing three of four. The second-year pro hit all three of field-goal attempts against the Texans, including a 53-yarder, and was getting ready for an even longer one in the waning seconds. Little hit an NFL-record 68-yarder last week at the Raiders.
What needs help
Jacksonville is tied for last in the NFL with 12 sacks, a season-long problem and a head-scratching one considering the Jaguars have invested first-round picks in Hines-Allen and Travon Walker. Walker should have had two sacks against the Texans, but he was flagged for roughing the quarterback on one takedown and then whiffed trying to tackle Mills in the backfield on another. It was more bad luck for Walker, who continues to play with a wrap on his surgically repaired left wrist and was ejected last week for throwing a punch.
Stock up
Washington found the end zone twice in the first half. He made a toe-touching, 7-yard touchdown grab in the first quarter and then returned a punt 73 yards for a score in the second. He could end up being Lawrence’s No. 1 target in the second half of the season, even with the recent addition of veteran Jakobi Meyers.
Stock down
Left tackle Walker Little was no match for Danielle Hunter, who finished with 3 1/2 sacks. Little signed a three-year, $40.5 million extension last December but has struggled in recent losses to Seattle, the Los Angeles Rams and Houston.
Injuries
The Jags hope to get WR Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle), CB Jourdan Lewis (neck), TE Hunter Long (hip/knee) and LG Ezra Cleveland (ankle/knee) back this week. Look for TE Brenton Strange (hip) to be activated from injured reserve.
Key number
31-30 — The score of the Chargers’ last visit to Jacksonville. The Jaguars rallied from a 27-0 deficit to win the wild-card playoff game in January 2023.

FALCONS MUST FIX OFFENSIVE ISSUES, STARTING WITH MICHAEL PENIX JR., TO SNAP LOSING STREAK
ATLANTA (AP) — The Falcons’ losing streak has reached four games after Atlanta came up just short for the second consecutive week against one of the AFC’s top teams.
One week after losing 24-23 at New England, Atlanta fell 31-25 in overtime to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday in the NFL’s first game in Berlin.
The Falcons (3-6) appear to be far from a playoff-worthy team, with problems on third down and with their rushing defense. Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. has been slumping.
Still, the Falcons needed just one stop late in the fourth quarter to knock off the Colts. Atlanta led 25-22 with under two minutes remaining. After a sack, the Colts faced third-and-21 at their 41-yard line. But a 19-yard scramble by Daniel Jones and a 10-yard catch by rookie Tyler Warren bailed out the Colts, who kicked a tying field goal and won in OT.
“We had opportunities to win the game,” Falcons coach Raheem Morris said.
The Colts dominated the extra period, and now the Falcons return from Germany looking for answers.
What’s working
The Falcons recorded seven sacks — their most since 2018 — by seven players, including disruptive rookies James Pearce Jr. and Jalon Walker. Pearce forced a fumble by Jones on his 18-yard sack, and Walker recovered. The Falcons have 29 sacks through nine games, which ranks fifth in the NFL, and they are second in sack percentage. The Falcons had just 31 sacks last season, which ranked 31st in the league. Zach Harrison and Brandon Dorlus lead the team with 4 1/2 each.
What needs help
The Falcons were 0 for 8 on third down, continuing an alarming trend from their losses to the Patriots and Dolphins. During their last three games, the Falcons are 3 for 29 on third down, and while they converted two fourth downs against both the Patriots and Dolphins, they didn’t attempt one against the Colts. On Sunday, Penix was 1-of-5 passing for minus-4 yards on third down, and he took three sacks, one of which led to a lost fumble. Coordinator Zac Robinson’s third-down package needs a complete overhaul.
Stock up
Backup running back Tyler Allgeier did not lead the team in rushing, but he was outstanding on the Falcons’ touchdown drive that gave them the lead late in the fourth quarter. Allgeier finished with 57 yards on 11 carries with two touchdowns, the second of which gave Atlanta a 25-22 lead with 1:44 to play. He had runs of 7, 7, 10 and 8 yards before finishing the drive with a 1-yard plunge. Allgeier continues to be a strong complement to Bijan Robinson.
Stock down
Penix completed 12 of 28 passes for 177 yards and a touchdown. His 42.9% completion rate was the lowest of his 11 career starts and leaves him No. 31 in the league at 58.8% for the season (the league average is 65.3%). Penix took a season-high three sacks.
In addition to Penix’s struggles, the kick and punt coverage units were exposed. The Falcons gave up kickoff returns of 50 and 49 yards, the second of which set the Colts up for their game-tying field goal with under two minutes to play in the fourth quarter. The Colts’ Josh Downs also had a 24-yard punt return in the third quarter that led to a field goal.
Injuries
Slot cornerback Billy Bowman Jr. returned from a hamstring injury. … RG Chris Lindstrom (foot) started after being listed as questionable. … Starting CB Mike Hughes (neck) traveled to Berlin but was ruled out. … LG Matthew Bergeron (ankle), DE Leonard Floyd (hamstring) and OT Storm Norton (foot) did not travel to Berlin.
Key number
244 — Rushing yards by the Colts’ Jonathan Taylor, the most the Falcons have ever allowed to an opponent.
Next steps
The Falcons will host the Panthers this weekend. Carolina (5-5) is second in the NFC South and blew out Atlanta 30-0 in Week 3.
NFL’S WEEK 10 WAS FILLED WITH UPSETS, COMEBACKS, ROUTS AND STATEMENT WINS
Five underdogs won. Big leads weren’t safe. Several games weren’t close.
Sunday was filled with upsets, comebacks, routs and statements.
There were some impressive individual performances, too.
Jonathan Taylor had 244 yards rushing for the Colts. Miami’s De’Von Achane ran for 174. Patriots rookie TreVeyon Henderson had a pair of 50-plus yard touchdown runs.
DeMarcus Lawrence scored twice on fumble returns for Seattle.
Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford became the first player in NFL history with at least four touchdown passes and no interceptions in three consecutive games.
Upsets
The Miami Dolphins stunned the Buffalo Bills, rolling to a 30-13 victory. Josh Allen and the Bills were 8 1/2-point favorites a week after a win over Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.
But the reigning NFL MVP had two turnovers and Buffalo (6-3) was never close after falling behind 16-0 at halftime.
Tua Tagovailoa threw two TD passes and Achane had two scores for Miami (3-7). The Dolphins have won two of three and have a chance to start a streak. They face Washington (3-7) next week in Spain and then return from a bye to take on New Orleans (2-8) and the New York Jets (2-7).
Led by rookie quarterback Tyler Shough, the Saints went to Carolina and knocked off the Panthers, 17-7. Shough threw for 282 yards and two TDs in his second career start.
A week after beating the Packers at Lambeau Field, the Panthers had a chance to get to 6-4, which would’ve been their best start since 2017. They were 5 1/2-point favorites but Bryce Young struggled and the offense couldn’t do anything.
Comebacks
Down 19 to Jacksonville in the fourth quarter, the Houston Texans rallied behind backup QB Davis Mills. With C.J. Stroud inactive because of a concussion, Mills tossed two TD passes and ran for a score in the final 12:16.
The Texans (4-5) can even their record next week at Tennessee (1-8). The Jaguars (5-4) have lost three of four since defeating the Chiefs.
The Bears trailed the Giants 20-10 when they got the ball at their own 9 with 6:13 left. Caleb Williams tossed a 2-yard TD pass to Rome Odunze. After the defense sacked Russell Wilson twice to force a punt, Williams drove the offense 53 yards and scrambled 17 yards for the go-ahead TD.
Chicago (6-3) has won six of seven since starting 0-2 under first-year coach Ben Johnson. The Bears have a tough schedule upcoming. Only two of their final eight opponents currently have losing records and one of those games is next week on the road against the tough Vikings (4-5).
The Colts needed a rally to beat the Falcons in Germany. Daniel Jones led a drive in the final two minutes to set up Michael Badgley’s 44-yard field goal to force overtime. Taylor ended the game on an 8-yard TD run. He had an 83-yard score in the fourth quarter.
Indianapolis (8-2) heads into the bye tied for the best record in the NFL. The Colts face the Chiefs on the road on Nov. 23.
Routs
The average margin of victory in the three late-afternoon games was 20 points.
The Rams took a 21-0 lead over San Francisco before the 49ers came back to cut it to 28-20 early in the fourth quarter. Los Angeles then scored on consecutive possessions to put it out of reach.
The 37-year-old Stafford is having the best season of his career, helping the Rams to a 7-2 start. He has 25 TD passes and only two interceptions.
With Lawrence scoring after two strip-sacks by Tyrice Knight, Seattle jumped ahead of Arizona 35-0 and cruised to a 44-22 victory. Sam Darnold only threw 12 passes, completing 10 for 178 yards and one TD. The Seahawks (7-2) dominated the Cardinals again, beating them for the ninth straight time.
Next week, the Rams host the Seahawks in a battle for first place in the NFC West.
Entering this season, a 44-22 score had only occurred once in NFL history. It’s happened three times over the past month, including twice in Week 10 as the Lions also beat the Commanders by that score.
Jared Goff had 320 yards passing and three TDs and Jahmyr Gibbs ran for 142 yards and two scores with coach Dan Campbell taking over play-calling duties from offensive coordinator John Morton.
Detroit (6-3) can take over first place in the NFC North if the Packers (5-2-1) lose to the Eagles (6-2) on Monday night.
Statement wins
New England took another step toward going worst to first in the AFC East with an impressive 28-23 victory in Tampa Bay. The Patriots (8-2) beat the Bills 23-20 in Buffalo in Week 5 but racked up six wins against teams with losing records.
Their victory over the Buccaneers completed a sweep of the NFC South, leading first-year coach Mike Vrabel to greet players with an “NFC South champs!” proclamation in the hallway outside the locker room.
Drake Maye withstood pressure and tossed two TD passes, and Henderson ran for 147 yards, including scores from 69 and 55 yards.
The Patriots’ next three opponents are 7-21 before a rematch with the Bills in Week 15.
The Chargers delivered a dominant defensive performance in a convincing 25-10 victory over Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night. Los Angeles held Rodgers to 91 yards passing and the Steelers had just 151 total yards before the game was out of reach.
The Chargers (7-3) trail Denver (8-2) by one game in the AFC West and already beat the Broncos and Chiefs (5-4).
The Steelers (5-4) only lead Baltimore (4-5) by one game in the AFC North and will face the Ravens twice in the final five weeks.
COMMANDERS’ DARON PAYNE WAS SUSPENDED FOR A GAME FOR HITTING AMON-RA ST. BROWN
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Washington Commanders defensive tackle Daron Payne was suspended for one game without pay by the NFL on Monday for hitting Detroit Lions receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown during the teams’ game the night before.
Payne was ejected for unsportsmanlike conduct in the second quarter of Washington’s 44-22 loss to visiting Detroit on Sunday.
He will miss Washington’s game next Sunday in Spain against the Miami Dolphins.
The NFL said Payne was punished under a rule that applies to “any act which is contrary to the generally understood principles of sportsmanship,” including “throwing a punch, or a forearm,” and another rule that prohibits “striking, swinging at or clubbing the head or neck of an opponent with the wrist(s), arm(s), elbow(s), or hand(s).”
Payne is allowed to appeal the suspension.
The Commanders (3-7) have lost five games in a row.

NO. 1 HOUSTON LEAPFROGS PURDUE IN AP TOP 25 DESPITE FEWER FIRST-PLACE VOTES; ARIZONA UP TO NO. 5
The first regular-season AP Top 25 is typically an overhaul from the preseason poll as voters get a better sense how good teams might actually be.
This season certainly is no different.
Houston was No. 1 in the poll released Monday, swapping spots with Purdue by earning three more points overall. The Cougars received 18 first-place votes from a 61-person media panel and Purdue had 36, with four other teams also getting at least one.
UConn, Duke, and Arizona round out the top five in a chaotic poll that saw only four teams hold their positions from the preseason poll, yet no one moved in or out of the poll.
Houston, which lost to Florida in last spring’s national championship game, is No. 1 for the first time since a three-week stint in 2024.
The Boilermakers were ranked No. 1 in the preseason poll for the first time in program history and opened the season with a pair of wins. Purdue had a hard time shaking Oakland in an 87-77 win Friday and some Top 25 voters dropped the Boilermakers out of the top five on their ballots.
“Yeah, I mean, we just beat Oakland by 10 points. Credit to them, they played a great game,” Purdue guard Foster Loyer said. “But if we’re supposed to be the No. 1 team in the country, we’ve got to be better than that, and it starts at the defensive end.”
Houston had no trouble in its first two games, blowing out Lehigh and Townson by an average of 18 points.
Rising and falling
Arizona moved up eight places from No. 13 after an impressive win over reigning champion and then-No. 3 Florida in Las Vegas. No. 8 Alabama moved up seven places following Saturday’s 103-96 win over then-No. 5 St. John’s at Madison Square Garden.
No. 18 North Carolina also climbed seven spots after beating then-No. 19 Kansas and No. 17 Michigan State gained five places with its 69-66 win over then-No. 14 Arkansas.
The losses by Florida, St. John’s and Kansas sent all three tumbling. The Gators lost seven places (to No. 10), the Red Storm dropped eight (No. 13)and the Jayhawks fell six (No. 25).

The Southeastern Conference, Big Ten and Big 12 each had six ranked teams to make up 72% of the field. The Atlantic Coast Conference and Big East were next with three each, while the West Coast Conference had one with No. 19 Gonzaga. The Big 12 and SEC each have three top-10 teams.
Watch list
Indiana coach Darian DeVries has a history of producing quick turnarounds at previous stops and is hoping to pull another one off in his first season in Bloomington. The Hoosiers looked good in the first week of the season, blowing out Alabama A&M and Marquette to inch closer to being ranked. Indiana has two games that won’t exactly move the needle — against Milwaukee and Incarnate Word — but could find itself ranked if the early-season jumbling continues.
TOP 25 ROUNDUP: TAMIN LIPSEY, NO. 16 IOWA ST. HANDLE MISSISSIPPI ST.
Tamin Lipsey scored a career-high 25 points, Joshua Jefferson added 18 points and No. 16 Iowa State beat Mississippi State 96-80 on Monday night at the Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, S.D.
Virginia transfer Blake Buchanan had a strong all-around game for Iowa State (3-0) with 13 points, six rebounds, four assists and three blocks.
Utah Valley transfer Dominick Nelson chipped in 11 points and two steals off the bench for the Cyclones, who scored 29 points off 26 Mississippi State turnovers.
Josh Hubbard paced Mississippi State (1-1) with 25 points on 8-of-17 shooting, sinking four 3-pointers. Shawn Jones Jr. put up 11 points.
No. 3 UConn 89, Columbia 62
Solo Ball scored a team-high 23 points to lead the Huskies to a win over the Lions in Storrs, Conn.
Ball and Alex Karaban (20 points, six rebounds, four assists) combined for five of the 10 3-pointers for the Huskies (3-0), who led by as many as 29. UConn was up 50-27 at halftime before Tarris Reed Jr. scored 13 of his 19 points after the break while pulling down eight rebounds and recording two blocks and three steals.
Miles Franklin and Blair Thompson scored 10 points apiece and Mason Ritter pulled down seven rebounds for the Lions (1-1).
No. 15 UCLA 83, West Georgia 62
The Bruins overcame a slow start with standout guard Donovan Dent sidelined, running past the Wolves in the second half en route to a win in Los Angeles.
Tyler Bilodeau picked up the scoring slack, producing a season-high 21 points. Frontcourt mate Dailey added 14 points as UCLA outscored the Wolves in the paint 32-8. With Dent out and Clark missing his first five field-goal attempts, Trent Perry filled the backcourt scoring void with 17 points and nine assists.
The Wolves, making their first-ever visit to UCLA, hung with the Bruins for close to 30 minutes of game time. West Georgia (1-2) got 16 points from Shelton Williams-Dryden, 14 from Brady Hardewig and 13 from Chas Lewless.
HIGH-SCORING BUTLER LOOKS TO CONTINUE SUCCESS VS. CHICAGO STATE
The non-conference slate continues for Butler as they welcome Chicago State for a Tuesday night matchup in Indianapolis, Ind.
Butler (2-0) on Saturday defeated IU Indianapolis 112-80 to give the Bulldogs a second straight win to start the year. Butler’s 112 points were the Bulldogs’ most in a game since 2015 against The Citadel.
Jalen Jackson led the Bulldogs, who had all 12 players who played score points, with 17 on 6-of-10 shooting. Finley Bizjack and Azavier Robinson each had 13 while Michael Ajayi had 11 with 14 rebounds.
“We have preached defense from day one this summer … I thought for the most part we did a pretty decent job defensively in the half court,” said coach Thad Matta after the game Saturday. “We didn’t guard the ball once they got past half court. We never got squared back up. We gave him some layups on that, but we got to keep building [on that].
Butler was selected to finish 10th (second-to-last) in the Big East Preseason Coaches Poll. Matta brought in five transfers this season with Ajayi (Gonzaga) being the most notable given his time at Gonzaga and some NBA draft buzz.
Ajayi was named to the Big East weekly honor roll for his performances in Butler’s first two games, including his 24 points and 12 rebounds in their opener against Southern Indiana.
Chicago State (0-2) continues its run of tough midwest teams to start their season as they’ve fallen 92-62 at in-city rival DePaul and 108-86 at St. Louis on Thursday.
Four Cougars scored in double figures in Thursday’s loss led by 19 and eight rebounds from Dailliss Cox. Marcus Tankersley and Stephen Byard each had 15 along with 12 from Braelon Bush.
The Cougars were selected to finish sixth in the NEC preseason coaches poll after finishing with a record of 4-28 on the season a year ago, including 1-19 away from home.
“Our peers recognize the strides we’ve made. We’re hungry to prove ourselves and climb even higher,” head coach Landon Bussie said.
These programs have not matched up since the 1985-86 season when they played each other twice and split the two games, each decided by four points or less.
WELL-BALANCED NOTRE DAME RIDE HOT START INTO MATCHUP VS. EIU
Notre Dame certainly has tended to the business at hand to open the season.
The Fighting Irish appear in good shape to continue their early dominance when they host Eastern Illinois on Tuesday night in South Bend, Ind.
Notre Dame (2-0) outscored Long Island and Detroit Mercy by a combined 191-137 to easily win its first two games of 2025-26. The Irish have shot 50.8% overall, held their opponents to a combined 40.2% shooting and recorded 34 assists.
They posted 19 of those assists during a 102-70 rout of Detroit Mercy on Friday.
In addition, nine Notre Dame players have scored more than 10 points, with star Markus Burton leading the way averaging 18.5 on 11-of-21 shooting. Burton, Cole Certa, Ryder Frost and Braeden Shrewsberry are a combined 22-for-42 (52.4%) from beyond the 3-point arc.
“There’s no separation. … Just plug and play,” Irish coach Micah Shrewsberry said of his squad. “They’re all capable. They all play within themselves. … They enjoy competing together.”
Looking to start 3-0 for a second consecutive season, Notre Dame takes on Eastern Illinois for the first time.
“These are important games for us,” Micah Shrewsberry said. “Now, we got to keep doing it. … We’re going to keep playing the exact same way.”
The Panthers (1-1) opened with a 66-63 loss at Valparaiso, then rebounded to defeat visiting Nicholls 65-57 on Friday. Eastern Illinois has shot just 37.8% through its first two contests, but it held Nicholls to 29.5% shooting from the field and 4-of-26 success (15.4%) from long distance.
“(The victory) was big, an encouragement for our team and a step in the right direction,” Panthers forward Kooper Jacobi told The Daily Eastern News.
Eastern Illinois guard Zion Foster scored 25 points on Friday, and he owns a team-leading 18.5-point average through two games. Terry McMorris is contributing 10 points and a team-best 11 rebounds per contest.

The Bears began the season with a victory in Paris over then-No. 7 Duke to replace the Blue Devils in that spot Monday, climbing nine places. The Trojans edged then-No. 9 N.C. State by a point Sunday to move up 10 spots to eighth overall.
While USC will be missing star JuJu Watkins all season as she recovers from an ACL tear suffered last March, coach Lindsay Gottlieb’s team has a new young star in Jazzy Davidson, who hit the go-ahead shot with 8.2 seconds left.
UConn, South, Carolina, UCLA and Texas remained the top four teams in the poll after relatively easy opening week wins. The defending champion Huskies received 30 first-place votes from a national media panel while the Gamecocks got the other two.
LSU and Oklahoma stayed at fifth and six. The Sooners faced UCLA on Monday night in Sacramento, California, a site of one of the NCAA regionals next spring.
Maryland moved up one place to ninth. N.C. State, which besides falling to USC beat Tennessee by three points in the opener, dropped to 10th. The Lady Vols fell to 12th and the Blue Devils 15th.

Happy anniversary
The women’s basketball poll celebrates its 50th anniversary this month with the first rankings coming out in late November 1976. Founded by Mel Greenberg, the poll was a coaches’ poll until 1994-95 when it became one voted on by national media.
Games of the week
No. 2 South Carolina at No. 9 USC, Saturday. The Gamecocks will head west to face the Trojans in a home-and-home series dubbed “The Real SC”. Saturday’s game will be played at Crypto.com Arena and next year’s game will be played in Greenville, South Carolina.

========NBA NEWS========
NBA ROUNDUP: CADE CUNNINGHAM (46), PISTONS NIP WIZARDS IN OT
Cade Cunningham scored a career-high 46 points as part of a triple-double and the host Detroit Pistons rallied from a double-digit deficit in the final five minutes of regulation to pull out a 137-135 overtime win over the Washington Wizards on Monday night.
Cunningham attempted 45 field goals and made 14. He was 16-for-18 from the free-throw line and also had 12 rebounds, 11 assists and five steals in the Pistons’ seventh straight victory. The 31 shots Cunningham missed is an NBA record for most missed field goals (since that stat started getting tracked in 1983), breaking Kobe Bryant’s mark of 30 set on Nov. 7, 2002.
A last-second 3-pointer by Detroit’s Daniss Jenkins sent the game into overtime. Jenkins had 24 points and eight rebounds, and teammate Jalen Duren supplied 19 points and 14 rebounds.

Bucks 116, Mavericks 114
Visiting Milwaukee overcame a 13-point fourth-quarter deficit and a career night from rookie Cooper Flagg to stun Dallas.
The Mavericks had a chance to tie or win the game with 1.2 seconds left when P.J. Washington was fouled by Giannis Antetokounmpo while shooting a long 3-point attempt. Washington made the first free throw, and missed the second. He deliberately missed the third free throw, but the ball bounced away from a large crowd underneath the basket. Flagg had a career-high 26 points for Dallas and was brilliant in the closing stages.
Dallas led 92-79 with 10:35 left in the game and appeared to have things in hand, but the Bucks rallied behind Antetokounmpo, who finished with 30 points, eight rebounds and six assists, and Kyle Kuzma, who scored 26 points.

Mathew Barzal scored 1:17 into overtime in Newark, N.J., and New York, after blowing a late lead, regrouped to hand New Jersey its first home loss of the season.
The Devils forced OT with 4.7 seconds remaining in regulation when Simon Nemec’s shot from the point appeared to redirect off an Islander in traffic and by Ilya Sorokin, who was otherwise stout in making 33 saves.
Bo Horvat and Kyle Palmieri each had a goal and an assist for the Islanders. New Jersey’s Jacob Markstrom stopped 22 shots. Timo Meier also scored for the Devils, who had won seven consecutive home games to open the season.

=======MLB NEWS======
ANGELS RHP KYLE HENDRICKS, FORMER CUBS STAR, REPORTEDLY RETIRING
Kyle Hendricks, a key part of the Chicago Cubs’ 2016 World Series championship team, is set to retire after a 12-year major league career, multiple media outlets reported Monday.
The 35-year-old right-hander spent his first 11 seasons with the Cubs before pitching for his hometown Los Angeles Angels in 2025. He went 8-10 with a 4.76 ERA in 31 starts this year, striking out 114 and walking 43 in 164 2/3 innings.
In 307 career regular-season games (301 starts), Hendricks compiled a 105-91 record with a 3.79 ERA.
Hendricks will be remembered in Chicago for his 2016 performance, when he went 16-8 with a National League-leading 2.13 ERA in 31 regular-season games (30 starts). He finished third in NL Cy Young Award voting that year.
In the 2016 postseason, he went 1-1 with a 1.42 ERA, fanning 19 and walking seven in 25 1/3 innings over five starts. Hendricks pitched 7 1/3 shutout innings against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 6 of the NL Championship Series to send the Cubs to the World Series. He had no decisions and a 1.00 ERA two starts during the Fall Classic as the Cubs edged Cleveland in seven games.
Hendricks signed a one-year, $2.5 million deal with the Angels last November. He grew up in Orange County, Calif., before pitching in college for Dartmouth. The Rangers chose him in the eighth round of the 2011 draft, and he was traded to the Angels a year later in the deal that sent right-hander Ryan Dempster to Texas.

========INDIANA SPORTS NEWS AND RELEASES========
=========INDIANA PACERS BASKETBALL=========
GAME PREVIEW: PACERS AT JAZZ
The Indiana Pacers travel to Utah for the third game in a four-game road trip out west on Tuesday. After a loss in Golden State on Sunday, Indiana turns to a tired Jazz team on the second night of a back-to-back for its next shot at a tally mark in the win column.
The Pacers have struggled shooting the ball this season – they’ve recorded an average of 39.6 percent of their shots dropping through 10 games. Indiana made just 34 percent of its looks against the Warriors on Sunday, marking the club’s worst shooting performance since April of 2021.
They recorded 83 points in the contest – their lowest mark this season – which matches the 83 second-half points they scored against Utah last time these two teams met.
Injuries plague the Pacers, and expanded and diversified roles for the healthy few have caused much early season adversity. Pascal Siakam (rest) and Aaron Nesmith (forearm contusion) were added to the injury report on Sunday, bringing the total number of sidelined Pacers to nine.
The Utah Jazz are no strangers to injuries as they play without starting center, Walker Kessler, who will be sidelined for the remainder of the season following surgery to repair a torn labrum. Lauri Markkanen has shouldered the offensive load for Utah as he posts an average over 28 points per night in Kessler’s absence, but the Jazz offense remains one of the least productive in the league.
The Pacers and Jazz are the NBA’s bottom-two teams in terms of shooting – they rank 30th and 29th, respectively, in average field goal percentage – and both shoot under 30.5 percent from the 3-point line.
The Jazz host the Timberwolves on Monday before completing back-to-back contests when they host the Pacers on Tuesday. Indiana heads to Phoenix on Thursday following the clash with the Jazz for the final matchup of the road trip.
Probable Starters
Pacers: G – Andrew Nembhard, G – Ben Sheppard, F – Jarace Walker, F – Pascal Siakam, C – Isaiah Jackson
Jazz: G – Isaiah Collier, G – Keyonte George, F – Svi Mykhailiuk, F – Lauri Markkanen, C – Jusuf Nurkic
Injury Report
Pacers: Aaron Nesmith – TBA (right forearm contusion), Johnny Furphy – out (left ankle sprain), Tyrese Haliburton – out (right Achilles tendon tear), Quenton Jackson – out (right hamstring strain), Kam Jones – out (lower back stress reaction), Bennedict Mathurin – out – (great right toe sprain), T.J. McConnell – out (left hamstring strain), Obi Toppin – out (right foot stress reaction)
Jazz: Walker Kessler – out (left shoulder surgery), Georges Niang – out (foot)
Last Meeting
April 4, 2025: The Pacers boasted a trio of 20-point scorers and routed the Jazz, 140-112.
Myles Turner’s 26 points led the Pacers in scoring while Pascal Siakam and Bennedict Mathurin added 22 points and 20 points, respectively. Tyrese Haliburton’s 17-point, 11-assist double-double was the engine for a productive Pacers offense.
Indiana shot 57 percent from the field against the Jazz, including 38 percent from 3-point range. The Blue and Gold recorded 38 assists on 51 made baskets, and outscored Utah in the fast break 29-8. Indiana’s 83 points in the second half lifted the Pacers to a sizable victory.
Collin Sexton’s 27-point night for the Jazz couldn’t overcome the potency of Indiana’s offense, and the Pacers won their third straight game at home to round out a 3-0 homestand late in the season.
Noteworthy
The Pacers have a 51-49 record against the Jazz all-time.
The last time the Pacers played the Jazz, they scored 83 points in the second half alone – that matches Indiana’s point total for the entire game on Sunday at Golden State.
Aaron Nesmith was added to the injury report on Sunday for a forearm contusion caused by a hard fall in Saturday’s game at Denver.
Pascal Siakam was held out of Sunday’s game for rest purposes.

=========INDIANA VOLLEYBALL=========
VOLLEYBALL CENTRAL: OREGON AND MARYLAND
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The stretch run is fully underway for head coach Steve Aird and the Indiana volleyball team (19-5, 10-4 B1G). Just six regular season matches separate the eighth-year head man from the program’s first trip to the NCAA Tournament since 2010. Four of the final six regular season contests are set to be played in Bloomington at Wilkinson Hall.
IU’s four-game homestand begins this weekend as Oregon (Nov. 14) makes its first visit to Bloomington for a volleyball match. The Hoosiers will meet Maryland on Sunday (Nov. 16) as they look to sweep the season series and win a fifth-straight contest against the Terrapins. Both matches will stream on B1G+.
Senior outside hitter Candela Alonso-Corcelles is amidst a fantastic campaign as she closes out her collegiate career with the Hoosiers. With just one win this weekend, she will become the program’s winningest player in Big Ten contests. She tied the record (38) last Friday against Iowa and will look to take the mark outright on Friday.
The Madrid native also continues to climb the individual ranks as well. She moved into the top-10 (tied) in program history on Sunday afternoon with seven kills at Wisconsin. Her 1,283 kills in an IU uniform are tied for 10th best all-time in the school’s record books. One more kill will sit her solo in 10th place all-time in Bloomington.
Two wins this weekend will continue to raise the stakes on IU’s season as it looks to set a number of program records. If IU can beat Oregon and Maryland at Wilkinson Hall, it would match single-season school records (since the NCAA adopted volleyball in 1981) for regular season wins (21) and Big Ten wins (12). It’s been 30 years (1995) since the Hoosiers last won 12 conference games in a year.
Gameday Info
vs. Oregon (Friday, November 14th – 7 p.m.)
vs. Maryland (Sunday, November 16th – Noon)
Stat and Trends
• Freshman outside hitter Jaidyn Jager has enjoyed one of the best freshman campaigns in recent memory. She needs one more 10-plus kill outing to become the first player since Breana Edwards (2018) with at least 20 double-digit kill matches in a freshman campaign. Jager has gone for 14 kills in three-straight contests.
• Senior outside hitter Candela Alonso-Corcelles has played fantastic in her career against Maryland. She’s 6-0 against the Terrapins and has provided at least 10 kills in all six meetings. She averages 3.89 kills per set in her career against Maryland with a series high of 22 in a four-set win in 2023.
• IU’s floor defense has stepped up as the calendar flipped to November. In the last four matches, the Hoosiers are averaging 14.36 digs per set. That includes exactly 45 digs in three-set contests against Maryland, Penn State and Wisconsin. Freshman libero Avery Freeman is averaging 2.79 digs per set in this stretch while only playing when the team is serving.
Notable
CHASING 20: The Hoosiers will have a chance at a number of records this season. One of those is the search for the seventh 20-win season in program history – and the second under head coach Steve Aird. IU is just one win away from a 20-win campaign in Bloomington.
BALANCE ON THE PINS: Indiana is the only Power Four program who has three different players averaging at least 3.23 kills per set this season. On eight different occasions this year, all three of IU’s pin hitters have gone for 10+ kills each. Senior outside hitter Candela Alonso-Corcelles leads the team with 3.56 kills per set.
CANDE IS A WINNER: Senior outside hitter Candela Alonso-Corcelles has been a big winner during her time in Bloomington. The Hoosiers have 71 overall wins and 38 in conference play since she joined the team in 2022. She’s just one Big Ten win away from having the most Big Ten victories of any player in program history.
MAKING HISTORY: Indiana will have the chance to match history this season. With wins against Oregon and Maryland this weekend, IU will match two program records. Two victories this weekend at Wilkinson Hall would tie program single-season records for regular season wins (21) and Big Ten wins (12).
PICKING UP 50: The Hoosiers are one win away from recording their 50th win at Wilkinson Hall since the venue opened up in 2019. IU is 35-14 at its home venue since the beginning of 2022 and has won 19-straight contests against unranked opponents in Bloomington.
TOP-10: Senior outside hitter Candela Alonso-Corcelles moved into the top-10 in program history in kills on Sunday afternoon. She’s currently tied for 10th but will take full possession of the mark with one more kill. She has 1,283 kills over her four seasons in Bloomington – which is tied with Julie Flatley (1994-97) in IU history.
J MONEY: Freshman outside hitter Jaidyn Jager has been extremely impactful this season. She’s one of two Power Four freshmen to average 3.40 kills per set, 2.20 digs per set and 0.50 blocks per set this season. On top of that, she’s passing a 2.13 with a 53% good pass rating on 490 attempts this year.
TOUGH SCHEDULE: IU came in at No. 14 in the RPI this week, holding steady as one of the league’s elite teams. The Hoosiers have beaten six top-50 RPI teams this year. All five of IU’s losses are against teams currently in the top-40 – three of those on the road. IU still has four matches left against top-60 opposition this year.
Scouting the Opponent
Oregon (14-10, 5-9 B1G)
• Head coach Trent Kersten inherited a roster with just one returning player but has quickly gotten Oregon back to a competitive point in the Big Ten. The Ducks have five wins in the Big Ten this season and have pushed a number of powerhouses to the edge. They beat Minnesota on Oct. 17 for their first ranked win of the year.
• Oregon has played a high-flying style of volleyball behind its two electric pin hitters Valentina Vaulet and Alanah Clemente. Both players average at least 3.25 kills per set this season and have combined for 80 service aces. Clemente has turned into one of the best freshman players in the conference.
• Veteran setter Cora Taylor took the reins of a 5-1 offense midway through the season and has thrived. Oregon is hitting .247 on the season. Outside hitter Sophia Meyeres and middle blockers Iva Sucurovic and Holley McFadden round out the starting offensive options. Reese Sheppard has taken over the libero duties over the last month.
Maryland (8-16, 1-13 B1G)
• It’s been tough sledding for Maryland this season. The Terrapins have just one win over a Power Four opponent (Rutgers) and have lost seven-straight matches since that victory. They sit solo bottom of the conference with just six matches left to play.
• Opposite hitter Ajack Malual has been a big offensive option after transferring from Tennessee in the offseason. She is averaging 3.49 kills per set and has nearly 200 more attack attempts as the next highest player. She also has 79 blocks on the season, 37 aces and 146 digs.
• The block has been a focal point of Maryland’s identity under head coach Adam Hughes. Both middle blockers have over 105 blocks this season, led by 114 from Duru Gokcen. Junior middle blocker Eva Rohrbach was high school teammates with IU pin hitters Avry Tatum and Jaidyn Jager.
Inside the Series
Oregon
• The Ducks are the last Big Ten program that IU hasn’t beaten yet. The Hoosiers have gotten their first all-time victory over USC and Washington this year and will look to complete the 4-0 sweep of the west coast programs.
• In the only matchup all-time between the two schools, IU lost a tight contest out in Eugene against No. 11 Oregon. Avry Tatum had 24 kills on a .395 hitting percentage in the matchup last year.
Maryland
• The Terrapins own a slight advantage in the all-time series, 11-9, but IU has won four-straight contests overall. Head coach Steve Aird has been on the bench for one of the programs in 17 of the 20 all-time contests between the two sides.
• Senior outside hitter Candela Alonso-Corcelles has had at least 10 kills in all six of her career matches against Maryland. The Hoosiers are 5-1 since 2022 against the Terrapins.

She is the only freshman in the country to average better than 15 points, five rebounds, three assists and 2.5 3-pointers per game this season. Her 71.4% clip from behind the arc leads all freshmen nationally among qualified shooters.
In her debut for the Boilermakers against FDU, Karsh scored 12 points on an efficient 4-of-5 shooting with five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal.

INDIANAPOLIS – The Notre Dame Fighting Irish (14-1-3, 8-1-1) are dancing in the 2025 NCAA Tournament as the No. 1 seed in the top-left quadrant, announced by the NCAA on Monday afternoon.
This is the fifth straight year that Notre Dame has been a seeded team. Since the Irish are a seeded team yet again, they’ve earned the ability to host their First Round matchup.
The Irish welcome Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) Champion University of Illinois Chicago (8-7-6, 3-3-3) on Saturday, Nov. 15. The match will kick off at Alumni Stadium at 6 p.m. ET.

3. IRISH HOST PANTHERS IN HOMESTAND FINALE
SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Chapter three of the 2025-26 Notre Dame Men’s Basketball story is set to unfold on Tuesday, November 11, when Eastern Illinois visits Purcell Pavilion. The contest will tip off at 7:30 p.m. ET on ACCNX. The Fighting Irish enter the matchup 2-0 on the young season, averaging 95.5 points on 50.8 percent shooting.
Despite roughly 250 miles separating the two campuses, Tuesday night marks the first basketball encounter between Notre Dame and Eastern Illinois. The Panthers are 1-1 on the season after a 63-66 loss at Valpo, followed by a 65-57 victory vs. Nicholls State. Zion Fruster is 1-of-2 Panthers averaging double figures, leading with 18.5 ppg. He owns four of the team’s 7 made three-pointers. The second and final EIU player in double figures is Terry McMorris, who also averages a team best 11.0 rpg.
WHOSE NIGHT IS IT GOING TO BE TONIGHT
Eleven different Irish scored in the season opener and in game two, six different Irish finished in double figures. The depth has been on full display to start the year. The Irish are getting 46.0 points from its bench which ranks 11th nationally.
Coach Shrewsberry in the Game One Post-Game Presser:
“We have 11 guys that are capable. Sometimes in practice you’ll have separation, but there hasn’t been much separation in practice. Every day a different player plays great and we have so many guys. So we don’t have that ‘ok you’re doing this and this is your spot.’ We have options now so we can keep mixing. If it’s not your night, that’s fine, we can go with someone else and that’s ok. We are going to keep trying to press the right buttons.”
GAME 2 TAKEAWAYS
- The Irish recorded the first 30-point win of the Coach Shrews era in the 102-70 victory over Detroit Mercy.
- The last time Notre Dame had recorded consecutive 20+ point wins was the 2020-21 season, when they defeated Pitt (1/30/21) and Wake Forest (2/2/21) in large fashion.
- Notre Dame recorded 19 assists on 36 made field goals, shooting 52.2 percent from the floor.
IRISH OPEN 122ND SEASON
Notre Dame kicked off its 122nd season with an 89-67 victory over Long Island. Markus Burton did Burton things and led all Irish with 24 points on 7-13 shooting from the floor, plus 8-9 from the charity stripe. But what was ultimately great to see was the huge depth they flexed in the win. Sophomore Cole Certa exploded for a career high 22 points, draining six triples. Freshman Ryder Frost scored all 15 of his points in the second half.
REBOUNDING TRANSLATES
Graduate transfer Carson Towt picked up right where he left off as the country’s leading rebounder last season as he tied his career-high 19 rebounds in the win over LIU. That number set a new record for an Irish debut performance. He also becomes the 16th different Irish player all-time to record at least 19 rebounds in a game.
Towt followed that up with an 11-point, 10-rebound double double against Detroit Mercy.
Because of Towt’s prowess, the team is now averaging 20.5 second chance points, which ranks 16th in the country.
Towt’s 29 rebounds through two games leads the country.
“He’s energy personified. There have been a ton of transfers that transferred up and there scoring output doesn’t necessarily follow. Rebounding translates at every level. It’s heart and it’s effort. That’s what he does.”
Towt now has 1,107 career rebounds, which leads all active players. Towt’s 8.9 career rebounding average ranks 5th amongst active players.
SHARPSHOOTERS
Adding on to the depth note from earlier, the Irish have plenty of sharpshooters at their disposal and the threes have been raining in Purcell.
First up, Cole Certa. The sophomore guard exploded from beyond the arc in the opener, converting 6-9. His now eight made triples are tied for 15th most in the country.
Then there was Ryder Frost. The freshman didn’t miss a single shot in the second half of the season opener, going 4-4 from deep (5-5 FG overall). He then went 2-5 in game two and is now 6-10 on the season. Furthermore, Frost is averaging 12.5 points on 13.4 minutes.
In the Detroit Mercy win, it was Braeden Shrewsberry’s time. The junior recorded a team high 19 points behind 5-8 shooting from beyond the arc.
Overall, the Irish now have 28 made three-pointers over two games – tied for 9th most in the country. They are shooting 47.5 percent from three which ranks 17th in the nation.
PRESEASON ACCOLADES FOR BURTON
The collegiate landscape is starting to pick up on what Notre Dame fans already knew – Markus Burton is a special player. The junior guard picked up two major preseason accolades
- First Team Preseason All-ACC – last Irish player to garner Preseason First Team honors was senior forward John Mooney in 2019.
- Bob Cousy Award Watch List – recognizing the top-20 point guards in the country.
- Naismith Trophy Watch List – recognizing the top men’s collegiate player.
KNOW THE NAME – MARKUS BURTON
If you don’t know the name Markus Burton, you should. The 6-0 junior guard, who is playing in front of his home town, recorded a sensational sophomore season and is poised to have an even bigger junior campaign.
Burton averaged 21.3 ppg last year, which ranks third nationally amongst returners.
1. PJ Haggerty, Kansas State – 21.7
2. Jaron Pierre Jr., SMU – 21.6
3. Markus Burton, ND – 21.3
4. Terrence Brown, Utah – 20.6
5. Nick Martinelli, NW – 20.5
The last Irish player to average 20+ points in a season was Luke Harangody (21.8 ppg) in the 2009-10 season.
Burton continued to write his name in different areas of the record book, alongside the all-time Irish greats. Here’s one for example – Burton joined David Rivers as the only Irish players to average 20+ points and 3+ assists in a season. He averaged a team best 3.0 apg last season.
He averaged 23.5 ppg in conference play which led all ACC players. His 423 points in ACC play broke the program record he set his freshman season. He now boasts 722 career ACC points which already ranks him fifth all-time at ND.
MASTER OF THE MIDRANGE
Burton is most dangerous attacking the basket and utilizing his quickness. He shot 46.9 percent from two-point range overall. More specifically he was 44.6 percent from the midrange and 46.4 percent from the paint.
Burton’s true shooting percentage climbed to 54.8 percent and his turnover rate dropped to 14.7 percent.
And more likely than not, Burton will get fouled attacking the basket and last season he was the team’s best free-throw shooter. He converted 84.8 percent from the stripe, which ranked 6th in the ACC. He drew 5.3 fouls per 40 minutes.
If that wasn’t enough, Burton improved from beyond the arc from year one to year two. He went from a 30.0 percent shooter from three as a freshman to 37.5 percent as a sophomore. In ACC play, Burton converted 40.2 percent from deep.
BRAEDEN, YEAR ‘3’
Braeden’s sophomore campaign was shortened by seven games with a lower-abdomen injury, but he certainly showed the world that he added to his game. He averaged 14.0 ppg, which was up from his freshman year’s 10.2. He also shot 41.3 percent from the floor, which also marked an improvement.
The 6-4 guard connected on 2.8 threes per game on a .369 clip – both ranked third in the ACC. In ACC play, he knocked down 40.0 percent from deep which ranked fifth. Shrewsberry’s sweet spot? He converted 45.5 percent from corner threes (15-for-33).
Furthermore, Braeden shot 48.7 percent from two-point range. Specifically, he shot 43.2 percent from the midrange and 44.9 percent from the paint.
Like Burton, Shrewsberry ended on an extreme high note. He totaled 49 points over the last three games before his injury.
He netted 16 points at BC, 12 points vs Louisville and a team high 21 points vs. SMU. Braeden averaged 16.3 ppg over that three-game span on 16-39 shooting (.410), plus 11-24 from beyond the arc (.458).
BIG PRESENCE INSIDE WITH THE ADDITION OF TOWT
The nation’s top rebounder from last year transferred to South Bend and will be paired with a top-5 scorer in the country in Markus Burton. Transferring in from Northern Arizona, Carson Towt led the nation with 12.4 rebounds per game last season. Notre Dame is the only school in the country to have players on the top-10 returning scorers and rebounders list.
Towt was a 2025 Second Team All-Big Sky selection and a unanimous Big Sky All-Defensive Team member.
Towt set a Big Sky conference single-season rebounding record, grabbing 423 rebounds across 34 games. The 423 rebounds also led the country.
The 6-8 forward averaged a nation’s best 8.9 defensive rebounds per game and 3.5 offensive boards per game – latter ranked 14th nationally.
Towt broke a 63-year record reeling in a career 1,044 rebounds. He also amassed 1,199 career points.
Last season, Towt averaged 13.4 points per game and produced 20 double-doubles which ranked sixth in the nation. He shot .569 overall from the field which ranked second in the Big Sky and 26th nationally
A KEY FOR THE SEASON
One of the major keys for a turnaround season for the Irish, as stated by Coach – gotta be better in close games; being mentally tough down the final stretch.
Last season, the Irish were in 14 games that finished by six points or less (two possessions). They went 7-7 in those games. They were 5-5 in one-possessions and 0-3 in games decided by one-point.

HIDALGO EARNS ACC PLAYER OF THE WEEK HONORS
CHARLOTTE, N.C.— Hannah Hidalgo has started the season in style, claiming the first ACC Player of the Week honor of the 2025-26 campaign. The junior has now earned the award seven times in her career, which is tied for the fifth most in ACC history.
The guard led the Irish to two wins in the opening week of play, averaging 29.5 ppg, 7.0 rpg, 5.5 apg and 3.5 spg. Her 29.5 ppg leads the ACC by six points per game.
Hidalgo has two of the three top scoring performances of all ACC players over the week of play, scoring 32 points in the win over Chicago State and 27 points in the victory over FDU. Her combined 59 points are the most she has scored in her first two games of a season in her career.
The junior was one of just 13 players nationally to score 30 or more points in a game during the opening week of play.
Notre Dame is back at Purcell Pavilion at 7 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Nov. 12 as it takes on Akron in a non-conference matchup. The game will be streamed on ACCNX.

MEN’S BASKETBALL TO HOST IU COLUMBUS ON WNDY
INDIANAPOLIS – The IU Indianapolis men’s basketball team will continue its hectic start to the 2025-26 campaign on Tuesday (Nov. 11) when the Jaguars host IU Columbus inside Corteva Coliseum for the annual partnership with the NCAA, championed by Anthem. This year’s NCAA ‘Read to the Final Four’ event is expected to attract more than 5,000 elementary aged students from across Central Indiana and will be broadcast locally on WNDY as Greg Rakestraw (pxp) and Hall of Famer Bob Lovell (analyst) describe the action. Tuesday’s game marks the first of three IU Indy men’s basketball broadcasts on WNDY this season.
It also marks the Jaguars’ fourth game in just eight days to start the season.
Head coach Ben Howlett’s team is still seeking a first win as the Jaguars played true road games against traditional powers Ohio State and Butler and hosted NEC preseason favorite LIU in between.
The nation’s fastest offense is boasting 90.7 points per game, paced by fifth-year senior Matt Compas’ 18.3 points per contest. Compas also leads the Horizon League with 3.7 steals per game and is shooting 55.6 percent from the floor. Behind him, junior Kyler D’Augustino checks in at 14.0 points and a team-high 4.7 rebounds per game while Jaxon Edwards is scoring 11.7 points per game.
The Jaguars’ defense and rebounding has been problematic to start the season as IU Indy is yielding 108 points per game and being outrebounds by more than 17 rebounds per contest. The Jags have also been tortured by the whistle to start the year as opponents have lived at the charity stripe, making more than 27 fouls shots per game.
Through three games, the Jaguars have played one of the nation’s top non-conference schedules
QUOTABLE
“We want to play good teams. What we’re trying to do is get ready by March. This game is going to help us come Horizon League play and that’s what we’re looking to do. We’re looking to win the Horizon League and take steps to do that. Us playing Butler certainly doesn’t hurt us. It’s going to help us,” Howlett said following his team’s road loss at Butler on Saturday.
SCOUTING IU COLUMBUS
IUC is 2-4 on the season and has dropped four straight since opening the year with back-to-back wins over East-West University and Kuyper College. Collectively, IUC is scoring 78.7 points per game and outscoring opponents by two points per game. The Crimson Pride come in shooting 44.7 percent from the floor and 32.4 percent from three.
INSIDE THE SERIES
IU Indy is 1-0 all-time against IU Columbus with the first meeting being last year’s season opener inside the Coliseum. The Jaguars won that contest 100-44 in front of 3,716 fans inside the Coliseum.
UP NEXT
The Jaguars will travel to Michigan to face off with Eastern Michigan on Friday night (Nov. 14) at 6:30 p.m. on ESPN+. IU Indy is just 1-4 all-time against EMU and 0-1 in the lone meeting on the road.

=========BALL STATE FOOTBALL========
BALL STATE MOTIVATED TO FINISH STRONG AND STAY UNBEATEN AT HOME
MUNCIE, Ind. – As the Ball State football program prepares for Senior Day, and with just three games left in the 2025 season, head coach Mike Uremovich, along with Nathan Voorhis and Kiael Kelly, joined the media for the Cardinals’ weekly press conference Monday morning.
Uremovich said the Cardinals are excited to close their home schedule against a well-disciplined Eastern Michigan team, praising the Eagles’ experienced quarterback, Noah Kim, and physical defense.
“[Eastern Michigan] probably has the best quarterback in the [Mid-American Conference], who’s leading the conference in passing yards,” Uremovich said. “Their corners are going to challenge us and play press man coverage. They make a lot of plays on special teams, and they’re really well coached in that area.”
The Cardinals’ seniors will take the field at Scheumann Stadium one final time, but Uremovich said the focus is to stay grounded and compete.
“As much as I tell them it’s every other game, there’s a lot of emotion going into it,” Uremovich said. “They’ve put a lot into it. I want them to take a minute to enjoy it, but then we’ve got to go play.”
For Kelly, Saturday represents both a personal milestone and a team opportunity.
“I’ve played a lot of games here, and since I’ve been here, we’ve never been undefeated at home,” Kelly said. “That’ll be a good accolade to walk off with, and it’s something that teams in the future can build off of.”
Voorhis echoed a similar message, saying the team remains motivated to finish strong in MAC play.
“We just have a goal, and we’ve got to go reach it,” Voorhis said. “We’re playing meaningful games in November. That’s what we wanted. We still can go to a bowl game, and we can still win the MAC. Bodies hurt, but that’s every season. You’ve just got to keep going.”
Ball State hosts Eastern Michigan Nov. 15 at noon for the Cardinals’ final home contest of 2025. Tickets to the game are available here. The game will also be aired live on ESPN+ and WLBC 104.1 FM

==========INDIANA STATE MEN’S BASKETBALL==========
MEN’S BASKETBALL CLAIMS TOUGH ROAD WIN ON MONDAY OVER THE COUGARS
EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. – Indiana State men’s basketball picked up its first win against a Division I opponent this season with a 64-55 win on the road against SIUE to improve to 2-1 on the season.
Camp Wagner led the Sycamores’ offense with 16 points, and Sterling Young added 12. Ian Scott dominated the boards with 13 and added two blocks. Markus Harding also added three blocks on the defensive front, with Wagner chipping in three steals.
Indiana State started strong, jumping out to an early 11-4 lead within the first four minutes of play. SIUE attempted to close the gap, but two three-pointers by Wagner and field goals by Harding and Young gave the Trees a 13-point lead nearing the halfway point in the opening half.
Both teams would go on a scoring drought, with neither team scoring for nearly two and a half minutes. The Cougars would struggle to close the gap to less than 10, with the Sycamores holding at least a 10-point lead for six minutes.
Over the last 8:30 of the half, Indiana State recorded five turnovers that helped SIUE cut into the deficit. With five minutes left in the opening half, the Cougars began to find some momentum and scored 11 unanswered points to tie the game with just 1:38 left to play. They would take their first lead soon after, but it would just be a short-lived, 36-second lead. A field goal by Jayan Walker and a defensive stop to get a shot clock turnover allowed the Sycamores to head into the half tied at 32.
Both teams came out of the half fighting for the lead. In the first two minutes of play, there would be two more ties and two lead changes. The Sycamores would quickly respond with a 5-0 run thanks to a three-pointer by Wagner and a basket by Scott.
The Sycamores continued to hold a small lead over the Cougars for a majority of the half. Both teams would go on another two-minute scoring drought, but two Young free throws would break the drought and set up the Sycamores to go on a quick 4-0 run and cross the halfway mark of the half with the Trees up 50-39.
The Cougars attempted to close the gap; however, they would not get within five, as the Sycamores’ offense continued to find the hoop with just about four minutes remaining, leading 54-49. Throughout the rest of the game, the Sycamores scored only one field goal – a layup by Harding – and the other eight points came all from the free throw line.
With just one minute remaining in the game, the Sycamores held a seven-point lead, 58-51. The Cougars would score a quick three points, but with just 25 seconds remaining, they would repeatedly send the Sycamores to the line for a chance to regain possession. SIUE fell short, just scoring one point in the final 30 seconds, leading to the Sycamores’ victory.
News and Notes
Since the beginning of the 2015-16 season, Indiana State has won 18 games scoring 64 points or less, ranging from 64 points down to 53.
The true road win marked the first for any MVC team this season.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Indiana State plays its first home game of the 2025-26 season Tuesday night when it welcomes Eastern Illinois to Hulman Center for a 7 p.m. tip.
Tuesday’s game will be carried on ESPN+, with Chris Machado (play-by-play), Nyah Wilson (analyst) and Piper Watkins (reporter) on the call.
Last Time Out
Indiana State nearly overcame a 14-point deficit in its 2025-26 season opener Monday night, but the Trees’ valiant effort fell one possession short in a 67-64 defeat to IU Indy inside The Jungle.
Tierney Kelsey led all players with 15 points off the bench, while Amerie Flowers pulled down a game-high 15 rebounds. Samiyah Briggs and Jayci Allen also finished in double figures with 14 and 11 points, respectively, while Kelsey dished out a game-high five assists.
Indiana State dug itself a hole, largely due to turnovers and foul trouble, as the Sycamores played from behind for nearly the entirety of the game. IU Indy’s lead grew to as big as 14 by the end of the third, but the Trees rattled off an impressive scoring run to get right back in the game late. Indiana State opened the fourth with a 16-0 run to take its first lead of the game, as the Trees held IU Indy scoreless for the first six minutes of the final frame. In the end, IU Indy made enough plays down the stretch to go back in front, while Indiana State failed to score in the last two minutes in a season-opening defeat.
On The Run
Indiana State’s 2025-26 season opener at IU Indy saw the Sycamores nearly overturn a 14-point fourth quarter deficit on the road.
The Sycamores opened the fourth quarter with a 16-0 run, holding the Jaguars scoreless for the first six-plus minutes of the final frame. Indiana State shot 60 percent from the field during the scoring run, while forcing four IU Indy turnovers during that stretch.
Indiana State’s scoring run wasn’t a one-person show, with four different Sycamores scoring during the run. Samiyah Briggs had seven of the 16 points during the run, with Jayci Allen (five), Tierney Kelsey (two) and Da’Naria Washington (two) also scoring during the run.
Season-Opening History
Indiana State sophomore forward Amerie Flowers made a bit of program history in the Sycamores’ season opener at IU Indy. Flowers pulled down a game-high 15 rebounds against the Jaguars, the most by a Sycamore in a season opener in the program’s Division I history.
Flowers’ rebounding prowess showed on both ends of the floor. Her nine defensive rebounds were tied for the most by a Sycamore in a season opener in program history, while her six offensive rebounds were tied for the fourth most in a season opener in program history.
Through the opening week of the 2025-26 season, Flowers leads the MVC in rebounding while ranking fourth in Division I in rebounds per game. Flowers also ranks in the top 20 nationally in both offensive (17th) and defensive (13th) rebounds per game.
In addition to her rebounding, Flowers added six points in the season opener, with four of those six points coming in the second half as part of the Sycamores’ comeback attempt.
Sycamores Stepping Up
Indiana State received contributions all across the lineup in the season opener at IU Indy, including a pair of Sycamores coming off the bench to score in double-figures. The Trees finished with 33 bench points against the Jaguars, their most in a game since also scoring 33 against Northern Illinois on December 15, 2024. It was also the Sycamores’ first game with multiple double-digit scorers off the bench since that same game against NIU.
Tierney Kelsey led the charge for the Blue and White with a game-high 15 points off the bench. Kelsey set or tied career highs in points (15), assists (five) and field goals (six) in the season opener. Jayci Allen came off the bench to score 11 in her first game at the Division I level. Clemisha Prackett also came off the bench to add seven points for the Sycamores in less than 15 minutes of playing time.
Block Party
Indiana State was the top shot-blocking team in the MVC during the 2024-25 season, and the Sycamores continued that trend in their 2025-26 season opener at IU Indy.
The Sycamores recorded five rejections in the season opener against the Jaguars, with four different players registering at least one blocked shot for the Blue and White. Jayci Allen had two blocks, while Clemisha Prackett, Kayla Smith and Da’Naria Washington all had one.
Nothing Comes Easy
Despite coming out on the losing end, Indiana State’s defense made life difficult for IU Indy in the 2025-26 season opener. The Sycamores limited the Jaguars to a 29.4 percent clip from the field (20-for-68), with IU Indy connecting on just 14.3 percent of its 3-point attempts (4-for-28).
IU Indy shot below 35 percent in all four quarters against the Sycamore defense, with the Jaguars going just 2-for-21 from 3-point range across the last three quarters. Indiana State also forced IU Indy into 19 turnovers, with the Sycamores turning that into 18 points on the other end.
Indiana State ranks inside the top 10 nationally in 3-point defense through the opening week of play, with the Sycamores also sitting inside the top 50 nationally in field goal defense through the first week of games. The Trees are also among the MVC leaders in turnovers forced and scoring defense.

Last Meeting Against Eastern Illinois (Dec. 6, 2024)

The Sycamores’ deficit was as many as 19 in the first half, with turnovers and poor shooting plaguing the Blue and White early. Eastern Illinois’ lead grew to as many as 26 midway through the third quarter, but the Trees didn’t go down without a fight. Indiana State rattled off a 13-0 run in the fourth quarter to cut its deficit down to nine, but the Sycamores ultimately ran out of time to complete their comeback.

===========PURDUE FT. WAYNE VOLLEYBALL===========
CLAIRE GREGWER SIGNS WITH MASTODON WBB
FORT WAYNE, Ind. – Purdue Fort Wayne women’s basketball head coach Maria Marchesano announced the addition of Aquinas transfer Claire Gregwer on Monday (Nov. 10). Gregwer is a 6-foot-1 wing from Grandville, Michigan.
Gregwer is joining the Mastodon roster in January as a mid-year addition. She is not playing at Aquinas this season, but spent the 2023-24 and 2024-25 seasons with the Saints after her freshman year at Davenport. She has one season left to use with Purdue Fort Wayne.
“Claire’s situation is very unique, but extremely exciting for us,” Marchesano said. “Anytime we can add a skilled player with great size and athleticism we are pumped, but when you also add to that her years of experience in college basketball, it just makes so much sense for us. We’ve watched her play for two years and said over and over that she plays like a ‘Don. We are pumped to be able to coach her in our systems and see her grow!”
After averaging 12.3 points per game in her first year at Aquinas, Gregwer exploded for 19.3 points and 12.8 rebounds per game last season. In the game against the Mastodons last year, she scored 12 points and grabbed five rebounds. As a junior, she had a career-high of 28 points at Lourdes in a road game and recorded a career-high 21 rebounds against the Gray Wolves in the return game. Her 370 rebounds last season broke the Aquinas program record. She eclipsed the 20-point mark in 14 contests, shooting 46.3 percent from the floor and 37.7 percent from 3-point range. She had 22 double-doubles with 13 in a row in conference play last year.
Gregwer led Aquinas to a 20-9 record and 17-3 mark in the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference last season. She was named the WHAC Player of the Week five times, en route to First Team All-Conference and All-Defensive Team selections.
Gregwer is a native of Grandville, Michigan, where she graduated from Grandville High School. She was a First Team All-Conference pick as a senior.

Series Notes: Wednesday will be the first meeting all-time between Valpo and Iowa State.
@ValpoWBB…
…at Detroit Mercy
– The Titans opened the game on a 21-3 run over a stretch of nearly nine minutes.
– Valpo responded with a 17-2 run of its own spanning the first two quarters, pulling back to within 23-20 with 5:42 to play in the first half.
– The Titans maintained a lead in the mid-single digits for the remainder of the half, as Valpo went into the locker room trailing 33-27.
– The Beacons cut the deficit to four in the first minute of the third quarter and had six shots on their next two trips to make it a one-possession game, but were unable to convert.
– UDM took advantage, going on a 10-0 run to extend its lead to 43-29 and force a Valpo timeout approaching the midway point of the quarter. The margin fluctuated between nine and 15 points the rest of the period, with the Titans eventually taking a 53-41 lead with 10 minutes to play.
– Valpo was unable to get any closer than that 12-point spread in the fourth quarter, and the Titans went on to end the game on a 15-0 run to extend the final margin.
– Fiona Connolly tied for game-high honors with 19 points and led the Beacons with nine rebounds, both of which were career highs.
– Playing just her second collegiate game, Allia von Schlegell reached double figures in the scoring column with 10 points – including three 3-pointers – while not committing a turnover in 26 minutes of action.
– Mikayla Huffine tied her career best with six rebounds and also dished out a game-high four assists.
– Valpo shot just 28.6% (18-of-63) from the floor, hit just 25% (6-of-24) from 3-point range and was only 46.2% (6-of-13) from the foul line. The Beacons also committed 24 turnovers against their former Horizon League rivals while forcing just 13 UDM miscues.
…at DePaul
– Valpo led 8-6 just over three minutes into the game thanks to five early points from Mor Shabtai and a 3-pointer by Kayla Sullivan.
– An 8-0 run gave the Blue Demons the lead for good, but the Beacons closed to within 22-20 at the end of the first quarter.
– DePaul reeled off nine straight points over the opening 2:30 of the second quarter to extend its lead to double figures, but Valpo eventually erased most of that deficit and only trailed 38-32 at halftime.
– DePaul scored eight points within one minute on its first three trips of the third quarter to push its lead to 46-32. The margin remained right around that 14-point mark for most of the period, until the Blue Demons scored the final eight points of the period to make it 63-41 with 10 minutes to play.
– While the Beacons scored on each of their first three trips of the fourth quarter, DePaul connected on its first six shots of the period to prevent Valpo from cutting into the lead.
– Valpo shot just 36.7% (18-of-49) from the field, while DePaul hit at a 44.3% (39-of-88) clip. The Blue Demons grabbed 18 offensive rebounds and were a +25 in the turnover department, committing just 10 miscues while forcing 35 Valpo turnovers.
– Fiona Connolly paced Valpo with 12 points.
– Eight of Valpo’s newcomers saw action in the season’s first game, with Mikayla Huffine and Kamryn Winch debuting in the starting five – the latter grabbing a team-best 11 rebounds.
– Sophomore Kylie Waytashek also made her first start in a Beacon uniform.
…looking ahead
– The Beacons play their first home game next time out, welcoming Milwaukee to the ARC next Sunday at 4 p.m.
– Valpo then returns to the road, playing at South Dakota Friday, Nov. 21.
…on the road
– Wednesday’s game is the third of six nonconference true road games for the Beacons, who will play 10 road games in MVC play as well.
– Valpo is currently 0-2 in true road games.
– Valpo will play 18 games in all away from home, as it has a pair of neutral-site games in Cleveland.
– Last season’s squad posted a 3-11 mark in true road games.
…and @ValleyHoops
– Valpo is in its ninth season as a member of the Missouri Valley Conference.
– Valpo was picked outside the top-four of the MVC preseason poll, as the Valley released only the top four selections.
– The Valley finished last season ranked seventh in the NET, matching the conference’s highest NET/RPI ranking in Valpo’s time as an MVC member (2020-21).
…looking back at last year
– Valpo finished last season with a 13-19 overall record and went 9-11 in MVC play to finish in eighth place.
– Among the Beacons’ 13 victories were a thrilling rally from a 20-point deficit for a home win over Drake which entered the game ranked 69th in NET, the program’s highest-ranked win since a win over #54 UNI in 2021-22.
– Leah Earnest was tabbed a First Team All-MVC honoree as she concluded a decorated career that saw her finish first in program history in career rebounds and third in career scoring.
– The 2024-25 Beacons hit 245 3-pointers, third-most in a single season in program history, and tallied 314 steals, seventh on the program’s single-season chart and the most since 2001-02.
@CycloneWBB
– Iowa State enters Wednesday’s game at 3-0 on the season, most recently beating Sacred Heart on Sunday, 99-34.
– The Cyclones went 23-12 last year, including a 12-6 mark in Big 12 play. They won a First Four game in the NCAA Tournament before dropping their first-round game.
– A Third Team All-American last season, Audi Crooks paces ISU with 23.3 points/game on .700 shooting through its first three games.
Facing Ranked Opposition
– Wednesday marks the 49th time in program history that Valpo will face a team ranked in the top-25 of one of the two major national polls (AP and/or Coaches).
– Valpo owns one win over a nationally-ranked team in program history – a 71-60 home victory over #21/23 Purdue Dec. 10, 2008.
– It is the program’s first nationally-ranked opponent since the Beacons hosted #22/23 Notre Dame Dec. 8, 2021.
– The Cyclones are Valpo’s highest-ranked opponent since the program played at #1/1 Notre Dame Dec. 4, 2016.
Taking on the Big 12
– Valpo is 0-7 all-time against current Big 12 programs – 0-3 versus Cincinnati and 0-1 apiece versus Colorado, Houston, Kansas State and Texas Tech.
– Of those, only the Texas Tech (Nov. 27, 2002) and Kansas State (March 21, 2004 – NCAA Tournament) games were played when those programs resided in the Big 12.
Road Warriors
– Wednesday is Valpo’s third straight road game to open the season, while in all, the Beacons will play seven of their first eight games of the year away from home.
– The last time Valpo played this many consecutive road games to start a season came in 2020-21, when it opened with four straight road contests.
– The last time Valpo had a stretch like this in terms of games away from home to open the season came in 2013-14, when it started with eight of its first nine games away from home.
Plenty of Time on I-80
– This trip is the first of three visits Valpo will make to the state of Iowa this year.
– While the Beacons play Drake and UNI back-to-back in February within Missouri Valley Conference play, the games are separated by a full week, necessitating two more trips.
Career Bests
– Of Valpo’s five players with previous D-I experience who played in the season opener at DePaul, three of them set career highs in the scoring department.
– Leading the way was Fiona Connolly with 12 points, topping her previous best of 10 points last season against Illinois State.
– Connolly went on to easily top that mark last time out at Detroit Mercy, scoring 19 points while also grabbing a career-best nine boards.
– With eight points at DePaul, Mor Shabtai edged past her previous best of seven points last season against Goshen.
– Milana Nenadic doubled her previous career best of four points, coming off the bench with eight points at DePaul.
– Nenadic also tripled her previous career best in the rebounding department by grabbing six boards at DePaul, while Kamryn Winch also set a career high with a team-best 11 boards.
– At Detroit Mercy, Mikayla Huffine matched her career best with six rebounds.
Hitting From Deep
– Freshman Allia von Schlegell has seen her shooting form translate to the collegiate game early in her career.
– von Schlegell went 2-for-3 from deep at DePaul and followed with a 3-for-4 effort from downtown last time out at Detroit Mercy.
– Her .714 3-point percentage is tops among MVC players and tied for 19th nationally, while she is tied for fifth in the Valley with 2.5 made triples per game.
Who’s Back
– The Beacons return seven players from their 2024-25 squad for the 2025-26 campaign.
– While seven players are back for another season in the Brown and Gold, Valpo has to replace its four leading scorers as it lost 73.8% of its scoring and 66.9% of its rebounding from last season’s team.
– A pair of seniors who played big roles as incoming transfers last season highlight the group of returnees: Maci Rhoades and Fiona Connolly.
– Raeven Raye-Redmond, Mor Shabtai, Kayla Preston, Kylie Waytashek and Bella Swedlund round out the returning group.
Who’s New
– Boyd is blending a diverse group of nine newcomers with the seven returnees to fill out the 16-player roster.
– The group of newcomers includes four true freshmen and five transfers – one Division I, two Division II and two junior college.
– Senior Mikayla Huffine spent the last two years playing under Boyd’s tutelage at Quincy.
– A pair of redshirt junior posts enter their first season as Beacons: Milana Nenadic (Idaho State/Maine) and Kamryn Winch (Maryville).
– Valpo also brings in junior college transfers Kayla Sullivan (State Fair C.C.) and Kennedy Sproule (Bay College).
– Four freshmen will be getting their first taste of college basketball this year: Isabella Anderson, Nuala Connolly, Autumn Dibb and Allia von Schlegell.
International Flavor
– Valpo has a trio of international players on its 2025-26 roster: sophomore Mor Shabtai (Israel) and transfers Milana Nenadic (Ontario, Canada) and Kennedy Sproule (Manitoba, Canada).
– Prior to Shabtai’s arrival last year, the Valpo program hadn’t had an international player since Sharon Karungi (Uganda) roamed the paint from 2013-15.
Sister Act
– For the third straight season, the Beacons have a pair of sisters on their roster, as freshman Nuala Connolly joins senior sister Fiona on this year’s squad.
– The last two years featured identical twins Nevaeh and Saniya Jackson.
– Before that, the last set of sisters to suit up together in the Brown and Gold were the trio of Hamlet sisters: Annemarie (2013-16) overlapped with both older sister Elizabeth (2013-14) and younger sister Meredith (2015-19).

========VALPO FOOTBALL=======
FOOTBALL TO HOST STETSON FOR SENIOR DAY ON SATURDAY
Stetson (3-7, 2-4 PFL)
at Valparaiso (1-9, 0-6 PFL)
Game #11 Saturday, Nov. 15, Noon CT
Brown Field (5,000) – Valparaiso, Ind.
This Week in Valpo Football: The Valparaiso University football team will close out the home portion of the season on Saturday as the Beacons recognize their senior class with a pregame Senior Day ceremony slated for 11:34 a.m. Fans are encouraged to arrive early to support the seniors prior to the contest against Stetson, which kicks off at noon.
Previously: Valpo engaged in a back-and-forth battle with PFL preseason favorite San Diego that featured four lead changes, but the Toreros prevailed 43-27 last week at Brown Field. Rowan Keefe passed for 234 yards, setting a career high for the second straight week. He completed 19 passes, also a personal best. Ryan Ricketti had 198 kickoff return yards including his second 100-yard kickoff return touchdown of the season and finished with 256 all-purpose yards. Anthony Feltrinelli led the defense with 12 tackles and has 25 over the last two games.
Celebrating Seniors: The following 26 players are classified as seniors and have elected to participate in the pregame Senior Day ceremony. Some who have eligibility remaining may still return for an additional season. The seniors who will be celebrated on Saturday are Rowan Keefe, Jay Melchiori, Hunter Nabers, Dawaiian McNeely, Michael Mansaray, Chris Gundy, Jacardon Hardemon, De’Andre Wilborn, Shawn Fester, Devin Yeats, Christian Hilton, Justin Jurmu, Silas Mathis, Frank Bartell, Connor Dickson, Matthew Molnar, Alex Goworowski, Ace McKinnis, Nate Hillenburg, Dawson Rye, Niko Paic, Ryan Pauley, Bryce Koteles, Max Carter, Jake Paulline and Liam Shepherd.
Glancing Ahead: Valpo will have something to play for in a big way next week, as the season concludes with the Pioneer Football League’s oldest rivalry as Valpo visits Butler on Nov. 22 for the Battle for the Hoosier Helmet.
Series Notes: Valpo and Stetson were scheduled to meet last season on Oct. 12, 2024 in DeLand, Fla., but that contest was canceled due to Hurricane Milton. The teams will meet for just the second time since 2019 and first time since 2023 on Saturday. That lone recent matchup saw Valpo prevail 23-20 in overtime on Nov. 11, 2023. Valpo is 4-2 overall against Stetson including wins in four of the last five showdowns with three of the wins coming in three-point games.
Following the Beacons: Saturday’s game will air on ESPN+ with Todd Ickow (play-by-play) and Eli Conklin (analyst) on the call. The radio call of the game will air on WVUR, 95.1 FM Valparaiso with Jack Hutter and CJ Perez. For in-game updates, follow @valpoufootball on X. Links to live video and stats can be found on ValpoAthletics.com.
Scouting the Hatters
Looking to stop a three-game losing streak with defeats against Presbyterian (42-7), St. Thomas (52-10) and Marist (41-13).
Own a pair of wins in PFL play over Morehead State (21-14) and Davidson (35-32) after an earlier loss to Dayton (48-14).
Seeking their first road win of the season.
Picked to finish 11th of 11 in the PFL preseason poll but are in position to exceed those expectations.
Under the direction of head coach Mike Jasper, who spent three seasons as an offensive lineman in the National Football League.
Ricketti Does It Again
Ryan Ricketti had his second 100-yard kickoff return touchdown of the season on Nov. 8 vs. San Diego.
He was named the PFL Special Team’s player of the Week on Nov. 9, becoming the second Valpo player to earn a league weekly award this season (Gabriel Batres, defense, Week 1). Ricketti was previously recognized as the league’s top freshman in Week 4 and earned FCS Special Teams Player of the Week honorable mention that same week after his first 100-yard kickoff return TD of the season against Western Illinois.
Valpo ranks third nationally with a kickoff return average of 29.15. Ricketti ranks third in the nation and leads the PFL with 681 combined kick return yards and ranks fifth in FCS in kickoff return average at 30.4. He is one of four players nationally in FCS with multiple kickoff return touchdowns this season.
Ricketti’s 100-yard return marked the team’s third kickoff return touchdown of the season. This is the first time in program history that Valpo has returned three kickoffs for scores in a single season.
That marked Ricketti’s second kickoff return touchdown of the season, making him just the second different Valpo player with multiple kickoff return touchdowns in a season and the third time total that the feat has been achieved in program history. Bailey Gessinger had two kickoff return touchdowns in 2016 and again in 2018.
There have only been nine 100-yard kickoff returns in the FCS nation this season, and Ricketti owns two of them. He is the only player in the FCS nation and one of two players in the Division-I nation with multiple 100-yard kickoff return touchdowns this season, joining Notre Dame’s Jadarian Price.
Ricketti became the first FCS player nationally with multiple 100-yard kickoff returns in the same season since 2022, when Weber State’s Abraham Williams remarkably had four of them.
Ricketti finished the game with 198 kickoff return yards, the most of any player nationally in FCS this season and the second most in all of Division-I in a single game this season, behind only Western Michigan’s Devin Miles, who had 218 on Oct. 25 vs. Miami (Ohio).
Ricketti finished with 256 all-purpose yards, the 13th most nationally in FCS in a single game this season. He paced the team with six catches for 58 yards, with the six receptions marking a single-game career best.
Other Notes Wrapping Up Week 11 – San Diego 43, Valpo 27
Valpo led at halftime for the second time in league play, both coming in the last three weeks (Oct. 25 vs. Morehead State) and for the third time overall this season.
QB Rowan Keefe passed for 234 yards, setting a career high for the second straight week. He completed 19 passes, also reaching a career best in that category for the second consecutive outing. Valpo’s top two outputs this season in terms of team passing yards have come in the last two weeks.
Saturday marked the team’s highest total number of passing yards since also throwing for 234 on Sept. 23, 2023 vs. Marist. This tied the team’s highest number of passing yards since 323 on Oct. 29, 2022 at Dayton.
Devin Yeats and Michael Rumoro both scored their first career touchdowns. Noah Long’s TD was his second overall and first through the air.
Valpo’s nine touchdown receptions this season have come from nine different players, with no Beacon owning multiple TD grabs.
With his three passing scores on Saturday, Keefe is up to seven this season and 13 in his career.
Colin Hayes had three catches for 52 yards after entering his career day with three catches for 48 yards through the first nine games of the season.
The Beacons were shorthanded once again with WR Chris Gundy, RB Michael Mansaray and LB Max Samuel among the numerous key players out with injuries.
Redshirt freshman Anthony Feltrinelli topped the team’s tackle chart, posting 12 tackles for his third double-figure output of the season and second straight. Mark Johnson secured a season-high nine stops and De’Andre Wilborn a career-high eight.
A 3-0 deficit in the turnover battle was one factor that plagued the Beacons in a strong effort.
Avoiding Penalties Like the Plague
The Beacons committed only two penalties for 25 yards on Nov. 1 at No. 25/22 Presbyterian.
That came after just one penalty for 10 yards on Oct. 25 vs. Morehead State. That marked Valpo’s first game with a single infraction since Nov. 12, 2022 at Marist.
Valpo has been tagged with 315 penalty yards this season, the fifth fewest nationally in FCS and fewest in the PFL. The team is third nationally with just 31.5 penalty yards per game and seventh with 4.20 penalties per outing.
Valpo has committed more penalties than the opponent just once in 10 games this season.
In six different games, the Beacons were flagged three times or fewer (vs. Adrian, at North Dakota, vs. Dayton, at St. Thomas, vs. Morehead State, at Presbyterian).
Top Tacklers
Redshirt freshman Anthony Feltrinelli and redshirt sophomore Nic Lendino are the team’s top tacklers this season.
Feltrinelli leads the way with 82 tackles through 10 games, a total that ranks third in the Pioneer Football League, while Lendino has 69.
Feltrinelli has seven tackles or more in six out of 10 games including double figures vs. Adrian (14), at Presbyterian (13) and vs. San Diego (12).
Lendino notched 21 of his tackles in the first two PFL games against Drake and Dayton. He has five stops or more in nine straight contests and has at least eight on four occasions this season.
Lendino reached a career milestone at St. Thomas, recording his 100th tackle. He is also the lone Beacon with multiple interceptions this season, owning two of the team’s five picks.

Melchiori reached the 100-reception milestone for his collegiate career in the Oct. 11 game vs. Dayton. He made 85 catches during the 2023 and 2024 seasons at Marietta.
Ricketti redshirted and played in four games last season, but has enjoyed a breakout surge in 2025 after not having a collegiate catch prior to this year.
Nine different players have caught touchdown passes but none have multiple.
Taking It Away Twice
In the Nov. 1 game at No. 25/22 Presbyterian, defensive back Mark Johnson had an interception, forced fumble and fumble recovery.
He became the first Valpo player to force a fumble and make an interception in the same game since Kohlton Sherman on Oct. 29, 2022 at Dayton.
He became the first Beacon to make an interception and recover a fumble in the same game since Caleb Rao on Sept. 19, 2022.
Johnson became the first Valpo player in over 20 years to have an interception, forced fumble and fumble recovery all in the same game.
The interception was the second of his career, both this season. The forced fumble and fumble recovery were both career firsts. He and Nic Lendio are the two Valpo players with multiple picks this year.
Keefe’s Comeback
After being knocked out of the previous game with an injury and being doubtful to play earlier in the week, quarterback Rowan Keefe returned to action on Nov. 1 at No. 25/22 Presbyterian with one of his best statistical performances of the season.
Keefe went 17-of-26 through the air for a career-high 225 yards and a touchdown. He completed passes to eight different players, and the 17 total completions were also a personal best.
The 225 passing yards marked a season high for the Beacons and tied the team’s highest total since 234 on Sept. 23, 2023 vs. Marist.
Keefe threw his second career touchdown pass in the contest.
