NFL ROUNDUP: DOWN 21-0, COWBOYS RALLY TO BEAT EAGLES ON FINAL PLAY

Brandon Aubrey converted a 42-yard field goal as time expired and the Dallas Cowboys rallied from a 21-0 second-quarter deficit to beat the visiting Philadelphia Eagles 24-21 on Sunday.

Aubrey’s kick, the second game-winner of his career, capped a nine-play, 49-yard drive in the final 1:35. The big play was Dak Prescott’s 24-yard completion to George Pickens that got Dallas (5-5-1) to the Philadelphia 22 with 35 seconds left, forcing the Eagles to use their final timeouts and setting up the clutch field goal.

Prescott hit on 23 of 36 passes for 354 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. His 8-yard scramble with 11:40 left, complete with a somersault into the end zone, tied the game at 21. Pickens grabbed nine passes for 146 yards and a touchdown, while CeeDee Lamb had four receptions for 75 yards.

Jalen Hurts completed 27 of 39 throws for 289 yards and a touchdown while also running for two scores for the Eagles (8-3). A.J. Brown hauled in a season-best eight receptions for 110 yards and a touchdown. Saquon Barkley was held to a season-low 22 yards on 10 carries.

Chiefs 23, Colts 20 (OT)

Harrison Butker kicked five field goals, including the decisive 27-yarder with 1:57 left in overtime, to give host Kansas City a victory over Indianapolis.

Patrick Mahomes completed 29 of 46 passes for 352 yards and one interception as Kansas City (6-5) prevailed in a one-score game for the first time in six opportunities this season. Last season, the Chiefs went 12-0, including a postseason victory, in such situations. Kareem Hunt rushed for 104 yards and a touchdown on 30 carries and Rashee Rice caught eight passes for 141 yards for Kansas City, which overcame an 11-point, fourth-quarter deficit to end a two-game losing streak.

Daniel Jones completed 19 of 31 passes for 181 yards and two touchdowns for the Colts (8-3). Michael Pittman Jr. and Drew Ogletree caught touchdown passes and Laiatu Latu had an interception. Indianapolis star Jonathan Taylor was held to 58 yards on 16 carries, with 27 yards coming on one handoff.

Packers 23, Vikings 6

Injury replacement Emanuel Wilson ran for a career-high 107 yards and two touchdowns to pace host Green Bay to a victory over Minnesota in an NFC North matchup.

Wilson, filling in for injured starter Josh Jacobs, was the first 100-yard rusher this season for the Packers. Green Bay (7-3-1) remains a half-game behind division-leading Chicago and a half-game ahead of defending division champion Detroit. The game against the Vikings was the first of five against division rivals in a seven-game span.

Minnesota (4-7) managed just 145 yards of total offense in its fifth loss over the last six games. J.J. McCarthy, making his sixth career start, completed 12 of 19 passes for 87 yards and two interceptions with a passer rating of 34.2. McCarthy was under near-constant pressure and sacked five times.

Lions 34, Giants 27 (OT)

Jahmyr Gibbs totaled 264 yards and three touchdowns, including a 69-yard TD run in overtime, as host Detroit turned aside New York’s upset attempt.

Gibbs also had a 49-yard scoring run and a 3-yard touchdown reception for the Lions (7-4). Jared Goff passed for 279 yards and two scores, while Amon-Ra St. Brown caught nine passes — including his 500th career reception — for 149 yards and a touchdown.

Detroit kicker Jake Bates’ 59-yard field goal in the final minute sent the game to OT. Jameis Winston threw for 366 yards and two scores and also caught a TD pass for the Giants (2-10), who have lost six straight. Wan’Dale Robinson caught nine passes for 156 yards and a score.

Ravens 23, Jets 10

Derrick Henry ran for two third-quarter touchdowns and Baltimore posted its fifth straight win, stopping visiting New York.

Baltimore (6-5) moved into a tie with Pittsburgh for first place in the AFC North, after the Steelers fell to the Bears in Chicago. New York (2-9) suffered its second straight loss.

Lamar Jackson completed 13 of 23 passes for 153 yards for the Ravens, while Tyrod Taylor was 17 of 28 for 222 yards with a touchdown and an interception for the Jets. New York running back Breece Hall accounted for 119 yards from scrimmage, although he was held to 44 yards on 16 rushes.

Patriots 26, Bengals 20

Drake Maye completed 22 of 35 passes for 294 yards, one touchdown and one interception, and New England held on for a win over host Cincinnati.

Hunter Henry caught seven passes for 115 yards and a touchdown for the Patriots (10-2), who won their ninth game in a row. Andy Borregales made four field goals.

Joe Flacco completed 19 of 37 passes for 183 yards, one touchdown and one interception for the Bengals (3-8). Chase Brown had 19 carries for 107 yards.

Jaguars 27, Cardinals 24 (OT)

Trevor Lawrence passed for 256 yards and three touchdowns while overcoming three interceptions and four turnovers, and Cam Little’s 52-yard field goal on the first possession of overtime gave Jacksonville a victory over Arizona in Phoenix.

Quarterback Jacoby Brissett, who threw for 317 yards and a touchdown, advanced the Cardinals to the Jaguars’ 42-yard line on their final drive before throwing two incompletions. Michael Wilson had 10 receptions for 118 yards and Trey McBride had nine for 79 yards for Arizona (3-8).

Travis Etienne had 86 yards rushing and scored on a 15-yard pass on the Jaguars’ first drive of the game, which covered 97 yards. Parker Washington and Jakobi Meyers also caught touchdowns for Jacksonville (7-4).

Browns 24, Raiders 10

In his first career NFL start, highly publicized rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders did just enough to push Cleveland to its first road win of the season with a victory over Las Vegas.

Sanders mostly stayed out of trouble in his debut, completing 11 of 20 for 209 yards with a touchdown and an interception for the Browns (3-8). The 23-year-old threw his first career touchdown pass with 8:18 remaining in the fourth quarter, connecting with running back Dylan Sampson on a screen pass that Sampson promptly ran 66 yards into the end zone.

The star of the show, however, was Cleveland’s defensive front. The Browns tallied 10 sacks, completely stifling the Raiders (2-9). Las Vegas quarterback Geno Smith completed 30 of 44 passes for 285 yards and a touchdown toss to rookie running back Ashton Jeanty, who gained just 50 yards on 17 carries for an average of 2.9 yards per carry.

Bears 31, Steelers 28

Caleb Williams passed for 239 yards and three touchdowns and Kyle Monangai rushed for a score to lift surging Chicago past visiting Pittsburgh.

The NFC North-leading Bears (8-3) stretched their winning streak to four, with each victory coming by one score. D.J. Moore led the team with five receptions for 64 yards and two touchdowns. Monangai rushed 12 times for 48 yards.

Chicago withstood a late rally from the Steelers (6-5), who fell into a tie with Baltimore atop the AFC North. Mason Rudolph started in place of Aaron Rodgers, who was unable to play with a left wrist fracture that forced him from last week’s win against Cincinnati. Rudolph finished 24 of 31 for 171 yards with a touchdown and interception. Kenneth Gainwell gained 92 yards on 10 carries, and Jaylen Warren and DK Metcalf rushed for scores.

Falcons 24, Saints 10

Kirk Cousins passed for two touchdowns and visiting Atlanta ended a five-game losing streak by defeating New Orleans.

Cousins completed 16 of 23 passes for 199 yards for the Falcons (4-7) as he filled in for Michael Penix Jr., who suffered a season-ending knee injury a week earlier. Star running back Bijan Robinson had 107 total yards on 16 touches for Atlanta.

Tyler Shough passed for 243 of the 293 total yards for the Saints (2-9), who did not score an offensive touchdown. Running back Alvin Kamara left the game after injuring a knee in the first quarter and did not return. Chris Olave led New Orleans with 70 yards on nine receptions.

Seahawks 30, Titans 24

Sam Darnold threw a pair of touchdown passes to Jaxon Smith-Njigba as Seattle defeated Tennessee in Nashville.

Smith-Njigba, the NFL’s leading receiver, had eight catches for 167 yards for the Seahawks (8-3). Darnold, who threw four interceptions in a 21-19 loss last week to the Los Angeles Rams, was 16 of 26 for 244 yards. Kenneth Walker III rushed for a game-high 71 yards on 11 carries.

Cam Ward, the No. 1 overall pick in this spring’s draft, was 28 of 42 for 256 passing yards and a touchdown and rushed for a team-high 37 yards and a score for the Titans (1-10), who suffered their sixth straight defeat. Ward threw a 1-yard TD pass to Chimere Dike with 43 seconds remaining, but the ensuing onside kick didn’t go 10 yards and Seattle ran out the clock.

SEVEN FROM SUNDAY – WEEK 12

A look at seven statistical highlights from games played during the 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. ET windows on Sunday, November 23, the 12th week of the 2025 season.

• With two games remaining in Week 12, there have been 10 games within one score (eight points) in the fourth quarter and eight games decided by seven points or fewer, including comeback overtime victories by Dallas (overcame 21 point deficit to win), Kansas City (overcame 11 point deficit to win) and Detroit (overcame 10 point deficit to win), the most overtime games in a week since Week 9, 2024.

There have been 47 games decided by a game-winning score in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter or in overtime this season, the most through Week 12 in NFL history.

The 2025 NFL season has seen eight made field goals of 60-or-more yards, including a career-long 63-yard field goal by Cincinnati’s Evan McPherson today, the most in any season in NFL history.

The New England Patriots (10-2) recorded their ninth-consecutive win in Week 12 and became the first team this season to reach 10 wins.

Cleveland defeated Las Vegas, 24-10, in rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders’ first career start as the Browns became the first team in the Super Bowl era with five rookies each recording 40-or-more scrimmage yards in the same game.

• Cleveland defensive end Myles Garrett had three sacks, four tackles for loss and two forced fumbles in the Browns’ 24-10 win at Las Vegas.

Garrett has 75 career games with a sack since entering the NFL in 2017 and is the fourth player since 1982, when the individual sack became an official statistic, with at least 75 games with a sack in his first nine career seasons, joining Pro Football Hall of Famers DeMarcus Ware (79 games) and Reggie White (79), as well as Von Miller (77).

Garrett has 18 sacks this season, surpassing Mark Gastineau (17.5 sacks) for the second-most sacks in a player’s first 11 games of a season since 1982, when the individual sack became an official statistic, trailing only Pro Football Hall of Famer Reggie White (19).

Garrett, who has 18 sacks this season and had 16 sacks in 2021 and 2022 is third player since 1982, when the individual sack became an official statistic, with at least 16 sacks in three career seasons, joining J.J. Watt (four seasons) and Pro Football Hall of Famer Reggie White (four).

Garrett has 26 tackles for loss this season, the most by a player in his team’s first 11 games of a season since 2000, surpassing Von Miller (24 tackles for loss in 2012 with Denver) and J.J. Watt (24 in 2012 with Houston).

THERE ARE MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS AFTER NFL GAMES SUNDAY

The Kansas City Chiefs saved their season. The Philadelphia Eagles gave critics more fuel. The Los Angeles Rams made a dominant statement.

There are more questions than answers Sunday in the NFL.

Patrick Mahomes did just enough to rally the Chiefs to a 23-20 overtime victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Kansas City’s dominant defense gave him the opportunity.

Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo’s unit forced the Colts to go three-and-out on their final four possessions. The Chiefs shut down the NFL’s leading rusher, holding Jonathan Taylor to 58 yards on 16 carries. Colts coach Shane Steichen inexplicably gave Taylor the ball only once on the last three drives of regulation.

Mahomes threw for 352 yards but didn’t have any touchdowns. He looked skittish at times under pressure, rushing his reads and hurrying his passes.

The Chiefs (6-5) couldn’t afford another loss as they fight to make the playoffs after winning nine straight AFC West titles, reaching eight consecutive conference championship games and winning three Super Bowls.

They’ve got a long way to go and a tough game at Dallas (5-5-1) coming up on Thanksgiving Day. Mahomes and the offense need to get in sync for Kansas City to have a shot.

“We’re still not where we want to be at but this was big,” Mahomes said. “Getting that win against a really good football team and kind of proving it to (ourselves) that we can play this kind of football game where it’s not always pretty. I think now we just have to build off that momentum. It’s going to be a short week. We’re playing a good team in the Cowboys, and they can score some points and they have a lot of great players. It’s about rebounding fast, trying to be better, even better this next week going into a big environment, big game and trying to get that win.”

The Colts (8-3) have gone from 7-1 to a team that is going to have to battle to win the AFC South. They’ll face division rivals Jacksonville (7-4) and Houston (6-5) four times over the remaining six games. Their other two opponents are Seattle (8-3) and San Francisco (7-4).

Steichen trusted Daniel Jones to win the game in Kansas City, electing to put the ball in his hands down the stretch instead of giving it to Taylor to protect a lead. Jones couldn’t deliver. He was 3 for 9 for 17 yards on the final four possessions.

“I felt there was a lot of stuff that I wanted to get called that I felt good about in the pass game and we just weren’t efficient doing it and it starts with me,” Steichen said.

Eagles collapse

The reigning Super Bowl champions built a 21-0 lead in Dallas and looked like they were on their way to snapping Dak Prescott’s 18-game winning streak at home against NFC East opponents.

Jalen Hurts was connecting with A.J. Brown and it seemed Philadelphia would quiet some of the drama surrounding the two superstars.

But the offense regressed, giving Prescott and the Cowboys an opportunity to come back and win 24-21.

The Eagles (8-3) have a comfortable lead over Dallas (5-5-1) and are in position to become the first repeat champion in the division in two decades. But Philadelphia fell behind the Rams (9-2) in the race for the No. 1 seed.

A sluggish offense isn’t playing up to its standard. Saquon Barkley ran for only 22 yards on 10 carries, and the passing attack just hasn’t found its rhythm.

Rams dominate

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were no match for Matthew Stafford and the Rams.

Stafford continued his MVP-caliber campaign with another stellar performance against an overmatched defense and Los Angeles cruised to a 34-7 victory over Tampa Bay.

The 37-year-old Stafford has thrown 30 touchdown passes and only two interceptions this season.

“I got great teammates. I get to throw to a bunch of great players, stand behind a good o-line and watch these guys hunt on defense,” Stafford said.

That defense overwhelmed the Buccaneers, knocking Baker Mayfield out of the game.

Jared Verse and Kobie Turner each had two sacks and Los Angeles is playing the team to beat in the NFC.

First to 10

Drake Maye and the New England Patriots are the first team to reach 10 wins this season after holding on for a 26-20 victory in Cincinnati.

The Patriots have a 2 1/2-game lead over Buffalo (7-4) in the AFC East with eight of their wins coming against teams that have a losing record.

With three of their last five games against teams that are currently 8-26 combined, New England is position to win its first division title since Tom Brady left and has an inside track to earning the No. 1 seed in the AFC.

But the Patriots still have a lot to prove, especially against more experienced playoff teams.

RAIDERS FIRE OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR CHIP KELLY

The Las Vegas Raiders fired offensive coordinator Chip Kelly, the team announced on Sunday night after a 24-10 home loss to the Cleveland Browns.

Kelly lasted just 11 games in his return to the NFL.

“I spoke with Chip Kelly earlier this evening and informed him of his release as offensive coordinator of the Raiders,” head coach Pete Carroll, in his first season with Las Vegas, said in a statement after team fell to 2-9. “I would like to thank Chip for his service and wish him all the best in the future.”

Las Vegas ranked 30th in points, total yards, rushing yards, offensive EPA and red-zone efficiency entering Week 12 under Kelly. Veteran quarterback Geno Smith has regressed with the Raiders after his resurgence in Seattle, throwing 13 interceptions along with 13 TDs through 10 games this year after tossing 15 picks in 17 contests last season. Smith was 30 of 44 for 285 yards with one TD and no picks, but he also was sacked 10 times.

Kelly, who turns 62 on Tuesday, talked to NFL reporter Jay Glazer after the game that the team has not won enough for him to keep his job.

“I am grateful for the opportunity with the Raiders; bottom line in this league you have to win,” Kelly said. “I really loved those players. I’m a huge, huge Geno Smith fan. That was one of the best parts of this experience for me, working with Geno and those guys every day.

“But hey, we gotta win. I get it.”

Prized rookie running back Ashton Jeanty has averaged just 3.6 yards per carry. He had 17 rushes for 50 yards, a 2.9 average, on Sunday.

Kelly landed in Las Vegas after last appearing on an NFL sideline with the San Francisco 49ers in 2016. The Niners went 2-14 with Kelly at the helm. He also coached the Philadelphia Eagles during a near-three-season stint, which ended in 2015 with the Eagles sitting at 6-9. His overall NFL head coaching record is 28-35.

But Kelly regained his footing in the collegiate ranks, spending six seasons as UCLA’s head coach before helping Ohio State win a national title last campaign as the Buckeyes’ offensive coordinator.

Kelly parlayed that success into a reported $6-million average annual salary with Las Vegas, which would make him the highest paid offensive coordinator in the NFL. But Kelly couldn’t make it past Week 12 as Las Vegas compiled just 268 total yards in the setback to Cleveland.

The move comes less than two weeks after Carroll said he and Kelly are “always working to continue to grow together as much as we can and be representative,” and after he credited the soon-to-be 62-year-old for having “a world of experience that I’ve counted on throughout.”

Kelly isn’t the first of Carroll’s assistants to fail to make it through a nightmarish season for the Raiders, who now sit at 2-9. Special teams coordinator Tom McMahon got the boot on Nov. 7.

OREGON NEW NO. 5 IN AP TOP 25, OHIO STATE STAYS NO. 1

Oregon moved back into the top five of the Associated Press Top 25 poll, while the first four spots remained unchanged Sunday.

Oregon (10-1) moved up one spot to No. 5 following a dominating 42-27 home victory over Southern California on Saturday. The Ducks leapfrogged Ole Miss (10-1), which fell one spot while on its bye week. Oregon was ranked as high as No. 3 in early October.

Ohio State (11-0), Indiana (11-0), Texas A&M (11-0) and Georgia (10-1) remained the first four teams in that order.

With Oregon jumping two spots, Texas Tech (10-1) also dropped a spot to No. 7 while on a bye week. Oklahoma (9-2), Notre Dame (9-2) and Alabama (9-2) round out the top 10 in that order. Notre Dame crushed Syracuse 70-7 on Saturday, while Alabama was a 56-0 winner over Eastern Illinois.

Michigan (9-2) made the most forward progress this week, jumping three spots to No. 15 following a 45-20 victory over Maryland. Georgia Tech (9-2) tumbled eight spots to No. 23 following a 42-28 home loss to Pittsburgh.

Missouri and Houston dropped out of the Top 25, while Pittsburgh entered at No. 24 and SMU entered at No. 25.

CAL FIRES COACH JUSTIN WILCOX AFTER NINE YEARS

Cal fired coach Justin Wilcox on Sunday, one day after the Golden Bears were routed by fierce rival Stanford in the “Big Game.”

Wilcox compiled a 48-55 record in nine seasons with Cal. The Golden Bears are 6-5 overall and 3-4 in Atlantic Coast Conference play entering Saturday’s regular-season finale against visiting SMU.

Cal general manager Ron Rivera announced Wilcox’s dismissal.

“I want to thank Justin for all of his contributions to our football program, our athletic department and our university,” Rivera said in a news release. “He has always comported himself with class and professionalism. After careful consideration, we believe the time has come for new leadership. We wish Justin the best of luck in his future endeavors.”

Rivera is a former Golden Bears star linebacker and was a player and head coach in the NFL. He was hired to run the football program in March.

Wilcox is reportedly owed $10.88 million on a contract that ran through the 2027 season.

Senior offensive assistant Nick Rolovich will serve as interim coach.

Rolovich has a 33-33 record as a head coach at Hawaii (2016-19) and Washington State (2020-21). He was dismissed from the latter school during the 2021 campaign because he refused to get a COVID-19 vaccine.

Offensive coordinator Bryan Harsin also has head-coaching experience. He has an 85-36 record at Arkansas State (2013), Boise State (2014-20) and Auburn (2021-22).

Wilcox’s top season was an 8-5 mark in 2019 when the Golden Bears beat Illinois 35-20 in the Redbox Bowl. That was Wilcox’s lone bowl win in four opportunities.

This season, Cal started 3-0 before being smashed 34-0 by host San Diego State. The Golden Bears were also routed 45-21 at home by Duke and were badly outclassed by host Stanford on Saturday when they committed three turnovers and were flagged for 13 penalties for 123 yards.

The Golden Bears’ highlight victory of the campaign came on Nov. 8 when they won 29-26 at then-No. 15 Louisville.

Freshman quarterback Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele has displayed promise with 2,787 yards and 13 touchdowns against nine interceptions. That was a big development for the program after standout Fernando Mendoza transferred to Indiana after last season.

COLORADO STATE SUSPENDS 2 PLAYERS AFTER SPITTING INCIDENTS IN LOSS TO BOISE STATE

Colorado State has suspended quarterback Darius Curry and offensive lineman Liam Wortmann for the season finale for spitting at Boise State players during a road loss on Saturday night, the school announced on Sunday.

Redshirt freshman Curry, who was making his first career start in the 49-21 setback in Boise, Idaho, and redshirt senior Wortmann, who started all 11 games at right guard for the Rams (2-9, 1-6 Mountain West Conference), will miss the home game Friday against Air Force in Fort Collins, Colo.

The incident with Curry, caught on video and shared on social media but not resulting in a penalty, occurred in the second half when the Broncos appeared to recover a fumble that was later ruled an incomplete pass. Curry spat at Boise State pass rusher Jayden Virgin-Morgan at the end of the play after the Broncos player had given him a one-handed shove during the return.

Any incident involving Wortmann during the game was left unclear.

“After having a chance to review the film following the game, I want to apologize to the Boise State football players, Coach (Spencer) Danielson, and everyone at Boise State University,” CSU interim head coach Tyson Summers said in a statement on Sunday.

CSU athletic director John Weber also apologized to the Boise State program for the “unacceptable” actions in the statement, which concluded, “While no penalties were assessed, these actions did not meet the Athletics Department’s and football program’s vision, mission, and standards of sportsmanship.”

The Mountain West also issued a statement supporting the suspensions and commending Colorado State “for acting swiftly and decisively to uphold the values of respect and sportsmanship that define our Conference.”

Danielson had said after the game that he didn’t see the spitting incident but had talked with referees, according to the Idaho Statesman.

Curry posted a statement on his X account on Sunday night, apologizing to Virgin-Morgan and the Boise State football program.

“What I did was unacceptable, disrespectful and completely against the values I’m expected to represent as a student-athlete,” he wrote. “I also want to apologize to my Colorado State teammates, coaches and our fans. I let you down. I allowed my emotions to get the best of me, and I crossed a line that should never be crossed.”

Curry also apologized to his parents and family.

“They raised me better than what I showed last night, and my actions didn’t reflect who I am or the values they taught me,” Curry wrote. “I take full responsibility. There’s no justification and no excuse. I will use this as a moment to grow, learn and make sure my actions reflect the standard of Colorado State University and the game of football.”

Curry, from Long Beach, Calf., has completed 70 of 107 passes for 740 yards and five touchdowns with seven interceptions. He began the season as the third-string QB behind Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi, who left the program after his benching, and Jackson Brousseau, who was injured a week earlier against New Mexico.

Wortmann, from Piedmont, Okla., transferred to Colorado State this year after four seasons at Division III Central Missouri.

Howard couldn’t contain Duke’s interior presence as Boozer and Ngongba II ruled in the lane. The Blue Devils poured in 58 points in the paint.

The game was set up as part of the Brotherhood Run, featuring teams coached by Duke alums. Howard is coached by Kenny Blakeney, while Jon Scheyer’s Duke team defeated Greg Paulus-coached Niagara on Friday night.

Duke’s 52-18 halftime lead on Howard was accompanied by 67.7% shooting from the field. The Blue Devils were only 4-for-12 on 3-pointers, but they racked up 34 points in the lane and held a 12-0 edge in points off turnovers.

NHL ROUNDUP: AVALANCHE BLANK BLACKHAWKS FOR 9TH STRAIGHT WIN

Cale Makar scored in the second period to back Scott Wedgewood’s 22-save shutout as the visiting Colorado Avalanche edged the Chicago Blackhawks, 1-0, for their ninth straight victory Sunday night.

Colorado tallied the game’s lone goal at 18:21 of the second period, capitalizing on a rare puck-handling miscue by Chicago goaltender Spencer Knight, which led to a Tristen Nielsen shot from the right circle. Trailing the play, Makar corralled a long rebound in the left circle and beat Knight with a wrist shot.

Wedgewood shined for the Avalanche on the way to his first shutout of the season and Colorado’s second in as many nights. He was especially solid in the first period, making 11 saves while shutting down multiple scoring chances.

Chicago was blanked for the first time this season but stayed afloat behind a 25-save effort from Knight. Ryan Donato and Ryan Greene paced the Blackhawks with four shots on goal each.

Sabres 4, Hurricanes 1

Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen made 29 saves and four different players scored goals as surging Buffalo earned a home victory over Carolina.

Alex Tuch, Jack Quinn, Beck Malenstyn and Tage Thompson each scored a goal to give the Sabres their fourth victory in the past five games. Luukkonen stopped all 24 shots he faced in the second and third periods.

Shayne Gostisbehere was the only Hurricane to sneak a puck past Kuukkonen, burying a shot in the slot late in the first period. Netminder Frederik Andersen recorded just 17 saves as East-leading Carolina saw its five-game point streak come to an end.

Wild 3, Jets 0

Jesper Wallstedt made 32 saves to record his third shutout of the season and fourth in 13 career starts, fueling visiting Minnesota to a victory over Winnipeg for the team’s fifth straight win.

Danila Yurov tallied in the second period for the Wild. Defenseman Brock Faber also scored in the second period, and Kirill Kaprizov added his team co-leading 13th goal of the season in the third. Wallstedt’s shutout was his third of the season and Minnesota’s league-leading fifth.

Eric Comrie turned aside 27 shots and Mark Scheifele played in his 900th career NHL game for the Jets, who have lost six of their last nine games.

Islanders 1, Kraken 0 (shootout)

Kyle Palmieri scored the decisive goal in the shootout for host New York, which edged Seattle in Elmont, N.Y., for its seventh win in nine games.

It was the first NHL game this season to remain scoreless through regulation and overtime. The 1-0 shootout win was the first for the Islanders since a win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Nov. 24, 2014. Bo Horvat also scored in the shootout as David Rittich made 19 saves before stopping one shot in the shootout.

The scoreless tie through 60 minutes was the first in the history of the Kraken, who began play in 2021-22. Freddy Gaudreau opened the shootout with a goal but was the only one to beat Rittich. Joey Daccord recorded 34 saves as Seattle finished 2-1-1 on a four-game road trip.

Sharks 3, Bruins 1

Macklin Celebrini recorded a goal and an assist and Yaroslav Askarov made 34 saves to lead San Jose to a win over visiting Boston.

Celebrini’s goal midway through the second period stood as the eventual game-winner and it extended the 19-year-old’s point streak to five. Shakir Mukhamadullin and Collin Graf also lit the lamp as the Sharks recorded their third victory in the last four games.

Morgan Geekie scored for the Bruins, and Jeremy Swayman stopped 28 shots. Boston had a 35-31 advantage in shots but still fell to 2-4-0 in its last six games.

Flames 5, Canucks 2

Blake Coleman collected one goal and one assist, while Rasmus Andersson recorded three assists to lead visiting Calgary to a victory over slumping Vancouver.

Morgan Frost, Connor Zary, Kevin Bahl and Yegor Sharangovich also scored to help the Flames win three consecutive games for the first time this campaign. Nazem Kadri and Mikael Backlund contributed to the effort with a pair of assists each, while goaltender Dustin Wolf made 28 saves.

Filip Hronek and Quinn Hughes scored for the Canucks, while goalie Kevin Lankinen stopped 16 of 21 shots. Vancouver is now on a three-game skid and is 1-4-2 in its last seven games.

GOLF NEWS

JEENO THITIKUL SETS LPGA SEASON RECORD WHILE WINNING TOUR CHAMPIONSHIP

World No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul had a pedestrian — by her standards — 4-under-par 68 at the CME Group Tour Championship, but it was more than enough for her to set an LPGA record and coast to victory on Sunday in Naples, Fla.

Thitikul had built a six-stroke lead on the field coming into the day and finished the final round four strokes ahead of Thai countrywoman Pajaree Anannarukarn.

Thitikul previously won the Buick LPGA Shanghai on Oct. 9 before tying for fourth at the Maybank Championship a day before Halloween. She now has three wins this season to go along with 12 top-five finishes, giving her the lowest scoring average for a season in the history of the LPGA at 68.68, surpassing Annika Sorenstam (2002).

“Back then when I was six years old I’m just really young kids that had no idea what LPGA was, what a world No. 1 looked like,” Thitikul said. “But as I’m stepping here on the LPGA Tour, I know our part is playing golf, but like also inspiring the next generation is part of our job as well.”

Thitikul had her highest score of the event Sunday, yet she still sank five birdies while suffering a single bad hole (a bogey 5 on No. 2) to card a 26-under 262 for the tourney. The result underscored just how dominant she had been in building her lead at Tiburon Golf Club.

“I mean, I love this golf course,” Thitikul said. “To be honest, playing here at CME, our last tournament of the year, give me a really good energy.”

The victory made Thitikul a back-to-back winner at the event, the first person to do so since Jin-young Ko of South Korea in 2020 and 2021. It also netted her a $4 million check, one of the biggest prizes on the tour.

She also did it while nursing a previous wrist injury.

Asked about her motivation, Thitikul laughed in responding, “I think maybe $4 million got motivation then.”

Among her closest competitors in this event, only her friend Anannarukarn could make up ground on Thitikul Sunday. Anannarukarn fired a 6-under 66 to finish second at 22 under.

Anannarukarn’s day included seven birdies and a bogey. Five of her birdies came across the first seven holes.

“Just been an awesome week. Just no complaints,” Anannarukarn said. “I mean, gratitude. I’m just really happy with how I was able to perform well and to celebrate my friend for back-to-back wins, so that was pretty cool.”

World No. 2 Nelly Korda (68) finished alone in third place at 20 under. Rounding out the top five were Mexico’s Gaby Lopez (65) at 19 under and Japan’s Nasa Hataoka (66) at 17 under.

SAMI VALIMAKI ENDS ’25 SEASON WITH BIG WIN AT RSM CLASSIC

Sami Valimaki wrapped up the PGA Tour season Sunday by becoming the first player from Finland to win a tour event at the RSM Classic in St. Simons Island, Ga.

The solo third-round leader, Valimaki birdied the par-5 15th hole at Sea Island Golf Club’s Seaside Course to break a tie with Max McGreevy, who went out early and posted a 7-under 63 to get to 22-under 260.

Valimaki, 27, proceeded to par his way home and sign for a 66, a four-round score of 23-under 259.

“It has been a long road, of course,” said Valimaki, who missed a number of cuts over the summer but tied for second two weeks ago at the World Wide Technology Championship.

“I feel like kind of how the last year taught me, I feel like it’s a really tough year even when I kind of played decent golf, and then to keep pushing and find some good grooves in the last few tournaments, so it feels amazing.”

Just as crucial as Valimaki’s go-ahead birdie at No. 15 was his par save at the very next hole. In the greenside rough after two shots, he used his putter from 50 feet away to get onto the green and leave himself 19 feet for par. The putt moved slightly left to right and dropped center-cup.

“Chipping hasn’t been my kind of favorite shot and I haven’t used this week much about it,” Valimaki said. “I just felt like today only comfortable was with my putter, so I thought, ‘OK, let’s give it a go outside the green and just give me the chance to make a 4.’”

Not only did the win secure Valimaki a two-year exemption on tour, it catapulted him 23 spots to No. 51 in the FedEx Cup Fall points standings. Nos. 51-60 in points qualify for the first two big-money signature events of 2026.

That was also reason to smile for McGreevy, whose Sunday surge into second place was projected to push him to No. 60 in the standings.

“I maybe projected to get in the top 60. I didn’t even think a second place would get in the top 60. Really was just kind of trying to win,” McGreevy said. “I knew my game was feeling really, really good. Putter’s just been struggling this year in general. Had a couple little minor tweaks I feel like that just made it feel really good out here, and these greens are so good. Luckily, kind of got a couple to roll in early this week and it just kind of snowballed into a good week.”

Ricky Castillo did McGreevy one better by firing a final-round 62, rocketing him to third at 21 under. However, he was projected to finish the points race No. 102, just outside the top 100 who are guaranteed to retain full tour status for next season.

Colombia’s Nico Echavarria fired a 65 to get to 19 under for the week, and his tie for fourth with Lee Hodges (66) and South Korean Si woo Kim (66) boosted Echavarria from 62nd to 55th in points, entering him into those first two signature events.

“I’m very happy,” Echavarria said. “To be honest, I didn’t have my best this week and having a result like that with your B-game, I was kind of uncomfortable with the irons all week. The putter obviously got hot. So I’m very proud of the way I battled.”

SCOTT VINCENT, YOSUKE ASAJI SECURE LIV GOLF BERTHS IN INTERNATIONAL SERIES FINALE

Zimbabwe’s Scott Vincent secured his return to LIV Golf on Saturday after finishing atop the International Series rankings, with Japan’s Yosuke Asaji also earning promotion as the season-long race concluded at the Saudi International in Riyadh.

Vincent, 33, entered the week with a narrow lead in the standings but survived a shaky final round to clinch the year-long title. His four-over-par finish Sunday left him well off the pace at Riyadh Golf Club, yet his closest challengers failed to produce the high finishes required to threaten his position. The result returns Vincent to the LIV circuit one year after his relegation.

Vincent, who won in Morocco earlier this year, said the pressure of securing a spot on the breakaway tour made for a restless night before the final round.

“Obviously not knowing and not trying to look at leaderboards, you don’t know how much of a cushion you have,” he said. “You don’t want to be the guy who is ahead and loses, all those things.

“Once I got moving and got into my routine, putting and range work, I definitely settled down. I just didn’t play great today, but obviously my performance over the season was enough.”

Asaji, 32, claimed the second automatic berth, becoming the first Japanese player to graduate under the expanded qualification system. Though he missed the cut in Riyadh, his victory in Singapore earlier this month proved decisive. The Asian Tour veteran will make his LIV debut when the 2026 season opens in February.

COLTS GO AWAY FROM TAYLOR LATE, BLOW 11-POINT LEAD IN 23-20 OVERTIME LOSS TO CHIEFS

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Indianapolis Colts had the Kansas City Chiefs on the ropes — both their game Sunday and potentially their season — until late in the matchup, when some odd play-calling and poor execution by the NFL’s top-ranked offense let them down.

The Colts went three-and-out on their final four possessions, spanning the end of the third quarter and the start of overtime. The last of them proved to be decisive, allowing Patrick Mahomes to march Kansas City downfield for the winning field goal.

Harrison Butker knocked it through from 27 yards for a 23-20 victory.

It was a strange turn of events for the Colts, who had played so well in building a 20-9 lead over the reigning AFC champs.

They went almost entirely away from running back Jonathan Taylor, who is in the midst of one of the best seasons in franchise history, and placed the game instead in the hands of Daniel Jones, who seemed unable to handle the pressure inside Arrowhead Stadium.

Jones finished with a season-low 181 yards and two touchdowns. He was just 8 of 18 for 83 yards in the second half.

“We just didn’t execute today at the level we usually do,” said Michael Pittman, who had one of the Colts’ two touchdowns. “We put our defense out there a ton. They were probably on the field for 40-plus minutes and we can’t do that. They held strong and played great. On offense, we’ve got to pick it up. They had a good plan for us.”

As for Taylor, he carried just 16 times for 58 yards, his second-lowest output of the season. Only three carries came over their final four possessions, netting a single yard — including a 2-yard loss on third-and-1 in overtime that forced Indianapolis to punt.

“He’s a great player. One of Wisconsin’s finest,” Kansas City coach Andy Reid said. “He’s a heck of a football player. Our guys did a nice job of wrapping him up. He’s had quite a few of those this season, and this game — yards after contact. You have to focus on wrapping him up and getting him on the ground, and I thought our guys did that, and did it well.”

It was a dramatic turn from Taylor’s previous game, when he led the Colts to an overtime win over the Falcons. Taylor ran for 244 yards, set a franchise record with 286 yards from scrimmage, and reached the end zone three times in that game in Berlin.

Sunday’s game was a dramatic letdown for a team whose lead in the AFC South became just a bit slimmer.

“Credit to Kansas City. They did a great job,” Colts coach Shane Steichen said, “but we’ve got to do a better job. I’ve got to be better.”

Indeed, the Colts had won five of their past six, thanks to an offense that was averaging a league-best 32.1 points and 396.9 yards. The Chiefs held them 20 points — the exact same total Indianapolis has had in every loss this season — and 255 yards of total offense.

Throw in 11 penalties and it was little wonder that the Colts had the ball nearly 17 minutes less than Kansas City did Sunday.

“We had opportunities to win this game,” Colts linebacker Germaine Pratt said. “They made more plays than us.”

Now the pressure is on Indianapolis.

Up next are the Texans and Jaguars, its two closest pursuers in the division race. Then come games against San Francisco and Seattle, before the Colts get Houston and Jacksonville again.

All told, their final six are against teams with winning records.

“We’ve got to do better,” Steichen said. “It starts with myself.”

INDIANA PACERS BASKETBALL NEWS

GAME PREVIEW: PACERS VS PISTONS

After a quick trip to Cleveland, the Pacers (2-14) return to Indianapolis for another Central Division matchup, welcoming the Detroit Pistons (14-2) to Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Monday night.

The Blue & Gold snapped an eight-game skid with a win over Charlotte on Wednesday, but were unable to string together two wins in a row, as they fell to the Cavs, 120-119.

All three of the Pacers’ top scorers had good nights in Cleveland. Point guard Andrew Nembhard scored a career-high 32 points and dished out eight assists while going 11-for-20 from the field, 3-for-5 from 3-point range, and 7-for-7 from the field. All-Star forward Pascal Siakam added 26 points, nine rebounds, and four assists. Bennedict Mathurin tallied 21 points and seven boards.

But the Pacers didn’t get much production from the rest of the lineup. T.J. McConnell (10 points) was the only other player to reach double figures as the players not named Nembhard, Siakam, and Mathurin shot just 10-for-38 (26.3 percent).

The Pistons bring a 12-game win streak into Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Monday. Detroit has not lost since Oct. 27 while surging to the top of the Eastern Conference standings. One of those 12 victories was a 127-112 win over the Pacers in Detroit last week, a game that the Pistons won without starters Cade Cunningham, Ausar Thompson, and Tobias Harris, all of whom are expected to be back for Monday’s rematch.

After making his first All-Star and All-NBA teams last season, Cunningham is in the early-season MVP conversation after an outstanding first month. The 6-foot-6 point guard has played in 13 of 16 games and ranks 13th in the NBA in scoring (27.4 points per game) and second in assists (9.9 per contest).

Probable Starters

Pacers: G – Andrew Nembhard, G – Bennedict Mathurin, F – Ben Sheppard, F – Pascal Siakam, C – Isaiah Jackson

Pistons: G – Cade Cunningham, G – Duncan Robinson, F – Ausar Thompson, F – Tobias Harris, C – Jalen Duren

Injury Report

Pacers: 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), Aaron Nesmith – out (left knee MCL sprain), Obi Toppin – out (right foot stress fracture)

Pistons: Jaden Ivey – probable (return to competition reconditioning), Caris LeVert – probable (sore left foot), Isaac Jones – out (G League assignment), Bobi Klintman – out (left ankle sprain), Marcus Sasser – out (right hip impingement)

Last Meeting

Nov. 17, 2025: The Pistons used a 21-4 run in the first half to open up a 21-point lead and cruised to a 127-112 victory over Indiana in Detroit.

Jalen Duren had 31 points and 15 rebounds to lead the way for the Pistons, who won their 10th straight game despite missing starters Cade Cunningham, Ausar Thompson, and Tobias Harris. Daniss Jenkins added 26 points and eight assists, while Javonte Green scored 20 points off the bench.

Pascal Siakam led Indiana with 29 points and seven rebounds in the loss, going 10-for-12 from the free throw line. Bennedict Mathurin scored 23 of his 25 points in the second half — including 14 in the fourth quarter — in his first game back from a toe injury that had sidelined him for 11 games. Isaiah Jackson recorded a double-double against his hometown team, tallying 16 points and 10 boards.

Noteworthy

The Pacers will wear their 2025-26 Nike City Edition uniforms and play on their City Edition court on Monday.

Prior to last week’s loss in Detroit, the Pacers had won seven of their last eight games against the Pistons over the last two seasons.

The two Central Division rivals are scheduled to meet twice more in the regular season after Monday, on Jan. 17 in Detroit and on April 12 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on the final day of the regular season.

Pistons guard Caris LeVert played for the Pacers from 2021-22. He was acquired from Brooklyn in a four-team trade that sent Victor Oladipo to Houston and then traded to Cleveland a year later in exchange for draft picks Indiana later used to select Andrew Nembhard and Ben Sheppard.

Pacers forward Jarace Walker and Pistons guard Marcus Sasser were teammates at the University of Houston in 2022-23.

INDIANA FALLS IN NCAA TOURNAMENT SECOND ROUND

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — No. 6-seeded Indiana (12-6-1) outshot Saint Louis (12-2-7) 16-3 in their NCAA Tournament Second Round match on Sunday (Nov. 3) and dominated possession, but the visitors took advantage of a chance against the run of play to survive and advance on Jerry Yeagley Field at Bill Armstrong Stadium.

KEY MOMENTS

• 10′ – Indiana seemed destined to score in the early moments of the match. Senior forward Palmer Ault fired a pair of dangerous shots in the second minute and another in the ninth.

LATE GOAL ENDS NOTRE DAME’S SEASON IN NCAA TOURNAMENT

AKRON, Ohio — Notre Dame went toe-to-toe with No. 14 Akron on the road in the NCAA Tournament second round on Sunday but were defeated by a score of 1-0 due to an 88th minute goal.

The Irish end the season with a record of 9-7-4.

HOW IT HAPPENED

The Irish absorbed some early pressure in the opening minutes from the Zips, as Blake Kelly made a big early save to keep the match scoreless.

Notre Dame’s first good chance came in the 12th minute, as Nolan Spice played Wyatt Borso into the box and the senior fired an effort on frame but the Akron keeper managed to parry it away.

The Zips put a shot just wide of the near post in the 42nd minute and then Notre Dame had a great look at goal in the final 30 seconds of the half. Burton had a shot from a tight angle that hit the side netting after the Akron keeper was out of the play.

The match was scoreless at the half and each team had three shots on target over the opening 45 minutes of play but neither team was able to score the breakthrough.

Notre Dame nearly had the opener in the 59th minute, as Ren Sylvester sprang into the open field but the Akron keeper came off his line and got a touch as Sylvester tried to round the keeper, sending it out for an Irish corner.

In the 84th minute the Irish had a great chance. Freshman Karson Baquero fired a shot that was redirected from an Akron defender just wide of the near post for a Notre Dame corner.

On the ensuing corner Ferguson fired a shot off the crossbar and then the followup effort from Baquero was pushed just over the bar.

Moments later the Zips found the winner in the 88th minute, taking advantage of a deflection in the box off a corner that dropped right to Matthew Paiva who scored what turned out to be the match-winning goal.

McFARLAND FAMILY MEN’S HEAD SOCCER COACH CHAD RILEY’S TAKE

On the match…

“Obviously I want to give credit to and congratulate Akron, we knew they were a good team and we wish them the best in the next round. With that said I couldn’t be prouder of the way they handled the season and I think it was summed up today against a good team.

“We knew they had a little more rest than us on the road. We competed so well. Our guys are such competitors and they competed with class and quality. On another day maybe we get the goal off the corner but today we didn’t. I couldn’t be prouder to be the coach of this team.”

On the seniors…

“I just want to thank the seniors for unbelievable leadership both on and off the field. Both the guys that played a lot and the ones that didn’t just really led this team so well this fall and I’m really going to miss them. I want to thank them for everything they have given this program and Notre Dame.

IU INDY MEN’S BASKETBALL NEWS

JAGUARS DROP FINALE AT AIR FORCE CLASSIC TO FALCONS, 98-85

USAFA, Colo. – The IU Indianapolis dropped a nip-and-tuck affair on the road to Air Force on Sunday night (Nov. 23) to conclude play at this year’s Air Force Classic inside Clune Arena. The host Falcons steamed ahead down the stretch to claim a 98-85 home victory.

The game featured 19 lead changes with Air Force (3-4) taking the final advantage with just over nine minutes remaining.

The Falcons shot 59 percent overall and 54 percent from three-point range while outrebounding the Jaguars 37-33. Lucas Hobin led all players with 27 points on 8-of-13 shooting and Caleb Walker added 21 points off the bench for the victors. Junior guard Kyler D’Augustino led four Jaguars in double-digits with 20 points and Kameron Tinsley contributed 17 points, including four treys, off the bench.

Matt Compas added 16 points and Maguire Mitchell finished with 11.

The first half was equal parts nip-and-tuck and cat-and-mouse as the Jaguars reluctantly sped up the typically plodding Air Force squad. The Falcons used a 16-4 run midway through the first half to build a 34-24 lead and later pushed the lead to 11 on an Ethan Greenberg three at the 6:53 mark. However, IU Indy (2-6) outscored the hosts 23-11 down the stretch to take a 49-48 halftime lead, capped by Mitchell’s three on the final possession.

IU Indy crafted a seven-point lead in the early stages of the second half as whistled piled up on both teams, limiting any rhythm for either side. However, as the half wore on, Air Force continually slowed the pace, limiting possessions and easy opportunities.

The Jags went in front 71-70 with 9:35 to play when Finley Woodward made both ends of a one-and-one, but Air Force fired back with a 7-0 run, keyed by a Hobin three. The Jags closed within four on a D’Augustino three-point play at the 5:34 mark, but were unable to muster defensive stops to get any closer.

Air Force shot 63 percent in the second half and outscored the Jaguars 50-36 after intermission.

Woodward closed with eight points, six rebounds and three assists and Micah Davis had five points and three assists, but fouled out midway through the second half. Sophomore Aiden Miller added four points, eight rebounds and two steals off the bench.

The Jaguars will return home to host Morehead State after Thanksgiving on Saturday, Nov. 29 at 2:00 p.m. inside the Jungle.

IU INDY WOMEN’S BASKETBALL NEWS

JAGS FALL TO THUNDERING HERD ON THE ROAD

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – The IU Indy Jaguars put together a strong offensive second half and saw multiple players step up with balanced scoring, but a fast start from Marshall and late execution by the Herd proved the difference Sunday evening at the Cam Henderson Center. The Jags ultimately fell to the Herd, 81-70.

Marshall set the tone from the opening tip, capitalizing on IU Indy turnovers and scoring 12 fast-break points in the first quarter. The Jaguars struggled to find rhythm offensively, shooting 4-for-17 from the field. Olivia Smith provided the early spark with six points, but the Herd’s transition pace created a 12-point deficit after one at 22-10.

IU Indy responded with its most disruptive defensive stretch of the first half, generating five steals and turning them into nine points in the second quarter. Nevaeh Foster drilled a three early in the quarter, and Hailey Smith and Denali Craig-Edwards fueled an 8–0 run that brought the Jaguars back within single digits. Marshall hit four threes in the frame to maintain its lead, taking a 10-point advantage into the break.

Both teams traded punches in a balanced third quarter. Foster and Olivia Smith each knocked down threes, while Craig-Edwards continued to produce inside. IU Indy dominated the offensive glass with eight second-chance rebounds, but Marshall answered each push, preserving a 10-point lead heading into the fourth.

IU Indy produced its best offensive quarter of the game, dropping 26 points behind hot shooting from Foster, who finished with a team-high 19, and strong drives from both Smith guards. Hailey Smith capped off her 12-point, six-rebound night with key buckets late, and the Jaguars cut the deficit to single digits multiple times. But Marshall’s consistent free-throw shooting (19-of-21) and timely threes held off the comeback effort.

Nevaeh Foster led the Jaguars with 19 points on 7-for-12 shooting with three assists and three rebounds. Olivia Smith added 13 points and six rebounds while Hailey Smith finished with 12 points, six rebounds and six assists.

IU Indy outscored Marshall 44–41 in the second half and won the battle in the paint (42 points), but Marshall’s early burst and 10 made threes ultimately carried the Herd to an 81-70 victory.

The Jags will now return to Indy to host Anderson in the Jungle on November 26 for a 1:00 PM tip.

UNDEFEATED CARDINALS HOST UIC MONDAY FOR “HOOPS-GIVING” GAME

It’s GAMEDAY:

The Cardinals and the Flames haven’t met since the 2000-01 season when  Ball State defeated UIC in Chicago by a score of 93-58. The Cardinals lead the all-time series record 4-1. The lone loss to the Flames came on December 10, 1999 in Worthen Arena as UIC defeated BSU by an 82-75 ledger.

INDIANA STATE WOMEN’S BASKETBALL NEWS

SYCAMORES OPEN THREE-GAME HOMESTAND WITH EDUCATION DAY AGAINST SMWC

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Indiana State opens a three-game homestand Monday morning when it welcomes fellow Wabash Valley school Saint Mary-of-the-Woods to Hulman Center for Education Day presented by RJL Solutions.

The game tips at 11 a.m. and will be carried on ESPN+. Brendan King has the play-by-play call, with Piper Watkins reporting.

Last Time Out

Indiana State faced an early double-digit deficit Wednesday morning and never fully recovered, as the Sycamores fell 81-71 to SIU Edwardsville inside First Community Arena.

Tierney Kelsey tied her career high of 22 points to lead the way for the Blue and White, while Kennedy Claybrooks added season highs of 15 points and eight rebounds. Clemisha Prackett tacked on 11 points and seven rebounds off the bench.

The home side scored the first six points and never looked back, leading wire-to-wire. Indiana State went into the half down 35-21, but the Trees show resiliency in battling back. The Sycamores went on a 13-2 run, sparked by Prackett and Samiyah Briggs, to cut SIUE’s lead down to two possessions by the end of the third quarter. Prackett and Claybrooks kept the momentum going early in the fourth for the Sycamores, but the Blue and White couldn’t find the late run it needed in a defeat to close their three-game road trip.

Let’s Get Loud

Monday’s game between Indiana State and Saint Mary-of-the-Woods will feature a lively crowd inside Hulman Center for Education Day presented by RJL Solutions.

More than 1,300 sixth-grade students from Vigo and Clay County middle schools will be in attendance for the Wabash Valley battle between the Sycamores and Pomeroys.

Monday’s game is the second straight 11 a.m. tip for the Sycamores, who played in an Education Day game at SIU Edwardsville last week. The Sycamores will also play in an Education Day at Valparaiso later in the season.

First-Time Foes

Monday’s game against Saint Mary-of-the-Woods is the first of two straight against first-time opponents for Indiana State. The Sycamores have never faced SMWC or Eureka prior to the 2025-26 season.

Indiana State has had at least one first-time opponent on its schedule in 11 of the last 13 seasons, including each of the last three.

On The Attack

Indiana State averaged its most points per game in a 15-year span during the 2024-25 season, and the Sycamores have shown no signs of slowing down in the early stages of the 2025-26 campaign.

Through five games this season, Indiana State is averaging 72.6 points per game, a mark which ranks in the top half of the MVC. Indiana State also ranks among the top three in the conference in field goal percentage and 3-point percentage. The Trees have hit the 70-point mark in three of the first five games, including a 90-point showing in their last home game against Eastern Illinois.

The Sycamores are currently averaging eight points per game more than their 2024-25 non-conference average, with Indiana State’s attack being a collective effort. Five different Sycamores are averaging at least nine points per game, including three in double-figures, while six different Trees have produced a double-digit scoring effort this season.

Second Half Surge

Indiana State has made a habit of producing strong second halves from the offensive side, with the Trees averaging 44.0 second half points per game through the first five games. The Sycamores have scored at least 40 points in the second half in four of the first five games this season.

Indiana State has scored 20-plus points in nine different quarters this season, with eight of those 20-point quarters coming in the second halves of games. The Sycamores are shooting 48.1 percent from the field in the second half of games this season, and are outscoring opponents by a 220-185 margin in the second half this season.

Sycamores Scoring

Indiana State’s second half at SIU Edwardsville was the Sycamores’ highest-scoring half in the Marc Mitchell era, with the Trees putting up 50 points in the final 20 minutes of their game against the Cougars.

The Sycamores had gone 234 games without a 50-point half prior to Wednesday’s second-half outburst at SIUE. Indiana State’s last 50-point half came against Missouri S&T on Nov. 28, 2017.

Tierney Kelsey scored 18 of her team-leading 22 points against the Cougars in the second half, while five different Sycamores scored six or more points in the final 20 minutes of Wednesday morning’s game in Edwardsville. As a team, the Trees shot 14-for-29 (48.3 percent) from the field and 4-for-8 from 3-point range in the second half. Indiana State also converted on 18 of its 24 second-half free throws, going 75 percent from the charity stripe in the last 20 minutes.

UE will face the College of Charleston in Monday evening’s 3rd-place game at 4:30 p.m. CST.

“Akron is a very talented team and program that we strive to emulate.

With the Zips up 23-18 just past the midway point of the period, Casey’s third field goal of the night made it a 3-point game. That is when Akron knocked down consecutive triples while scoring eight in a row to take their first double figure lead at 31-20. A pair of Casey free throws got the Aces back on track, however, the Zips would take their largest lead of the period at 36-24 inside of the 5-minute mark.

Today is the first time the Tigers have beaten the Greyhounds, with the Greyhounds previous two wins over Fort Hays coming in the NCAA Tournament in 2019 and 2021.

HOW IT HAPPENED

The first half was all Fort Hays State, as the Tigers racked up eight shots, and netting three goals in the process. The wind was a factor on the Tigers first two goals, with the first goal coming directly from a punt that bounced past the UIndy back line to Jackson Elgas who connected on the half volley to beat Unnamatla.

The Tigers second goal came thanks to a long throw-in that was headed past Unnamatla to double Fort Hays’ lead. Bastian Carlman extended the Tigers lead just 10 minutes later to give Fort Hays a 3-0 lead headed to the break.

Kabiru Gafar, Truls Karlsen and Roman Beko all had their efforts saved by Payton Roehrich, the Hounds’ three lone shots of the first half

The Greyhounds recorded seven shots in the second half, but Fort Hays was able to salt the game away by slowing the pace of the game down, and not allowing UIndy many quality chances. The lone saved effort came in the 71st minute on a delicate chip effort from Lucas Bedleg that was knocked out of play by Roehrich.

INSIDE THE BOX

-.Unnamatla made three stops on 12 shots faced in today’s contest.

– Bedleg, Gafar and Lucas Binnebose all recorded two shots today for UIndy.

– Nikolas Karnesis played 70 minutes as a substitute today.

– There were a combined 22 shots from both teams, 12 from Fort Hays and 10 from UIndy.

OTHER NOTES

Fort Hays committed 34 fouls today, adding to its season total of 418 which ranks first in total fouls in all of DII this season. Along with the 34 fouls from Fort Hays today, there were a total of nine yellow cards between both teams, six from Fort Hays, and three from UIndy.

UP NEXT

UIndy will have an offseason to reload for next season and look to make another NCAA Tournament appearance, which would be the third appearance of head coach Gabe Hall’s tenure.

MARIAN VOLLEYBALL NEWS

MARIAN’S SEASON SEES UNTIMELY END IN OPENING ROUND LOSS AGAINST MOBILE

INDIANAPOLIS – The Marian volleyball team saw an untimely end to its 2025 season on Saturday night in the PE Center, as the Knights fell in a fierce four-set battle against No. 21 seed University of Mobile. Marian won set three to extend the match while trailing 0-2, but were unable to secure an extra points win in set four, losing 3-1. Marian ends their season with an 18-12 overall record.

The Knights got off to a slow start Saturday night, dropping the first four points of the match before a Chloe Cook kill would get them in system. Avery Toole and Evie Dart helped put Marian on track, but another 3-0 swing for Mobile gave the out-of-town foe an 11-5 lead. Marian called timeout and quickly responded, turning the match upside down as a 9-2 run that featured seven unanswered points gave the hosts a 14-13 lead. Nicole Wilkinson scored two kills and a block in the run, with the senior seeing her team eventually push in front 17-15. Mobile counted Marian’s run with one of their own after falling behind by two, going on an 8-1 run to inch within two points of taking the set. Trailing 23-18, Marian gave a late surge as Cook and Wilkinson landed a block as part of a 5-1 scoring spree, but the Rams would close the game without needing extra points, winning 25-23.

Mobile followed their set one win with a 25-21 victory in set two, taking a 2-0 lead on the match. The Rams took claim in the set as a 4-0 run gave them an 8-5 lead, with the lead gradually swelling to five. A timeout for Marian trailing 13-8 helped reset the team, as the offense got back in a groove with Mya Cunningham connecting with her hitters for three kills as part of a 4-0 run. Within one, Marian continued to attack as Cook and Wilkinson helped bring the set to a level 16-16 score, with Marian eventually jumping on top 19-17 after a Rams timeout. The blocking game of the Knights aided the team’s approach to get within six points of a win, but Marian saw a 19-17 lead slip, as they mustered just two points in the final 10 rallies, falling behind 0-2 in the match.

Trailing 0-2, Marian came out flat to open set three, allowing five of the first seven points to their counterparts. Marian would charge back in the next stretch of seven, as an Emerson Evans service ace brought the score within two. Evie Dart and Chloe Cook soon brought the Knights within one with a three-kill run, while a 5-0 run sparked by Cook gave her team a 14-12 lead. The two point lead became a three-point cushion seven rallies later, with Cook serving Marian into position. Avery Toole and Nicole Wilkinson logged a block to take the score to 18-15, while kills from the seniors in the next five rallies saw the board show 21-17. Leading by four, Marian finished the set strong, taking a 25-19 win with an Evie Dart kill.

Momentum took Marian’s side of the net following their third set win, and in the fourth set, the Knights took a strong start, as a 4-0 run in the early stages them a 9-7 lead. Mobile would call timeout and score three unanswered, but a three-point swing from the Knights had the hosts back in front 12-10. The back-and-fourth nature continued as Mobile scored four consecutive, charging back in the lead with a 14-12 score. Nicole Wilkinson took the lead back for Marian with a block three rallies later, but Marian would continue to play on the wrong side of the ledger, falling behind 20-18 as the Rams forced a timeout.

Mobile pushed their total to 23 shortly after the timeout, forcing Marian’s final stoppage as the team looked for one final run. A service error out of the break gave the Knights the life they needed, as Cook and Toole spiked kills to tie the set 23-23. Mobile would ultimately reach set point first after a Marian error, but a kill from Wilkinson and Ram attack error put Marian back at the line for set point. With the score 25-24 in favor the Knights, the Rams charged ahead with consecutive points to once again see match point, but a Khori Dryden kill delayed the celebration, tying the set 26-26. Needing two to win, it would be Mobile who took the next two rallies, getting a kill before winning the match on a Marian attack error, ending the Knights’ season as the Rams won the fourth set 28-26.

Nicole Wilkinson gave her all for the Knights in her final collegiate match, logging a match-high 16 kills while hitting .351 from the middle. The senior hitter had six total blocks, and logged three digs. Cook finished the night with 15 kills, while Dryden had nine kills and 18 digs. Mya Cunningham recorded a team-high 27 assists, and Sami Luttel had  23 assists. Avery Toole would record a season-high five total blocks in the loss, and Emma Lyons finished the night with a team-best 19 digs. Lyons became Marian’s all-time leader in digs in the beginning of the second set, breaking Megan Hawley’s career record set during Marian’s 2019 NAIA National Championship run. The senior libero finished her career with 2032 career digs.

Marian ends their season with an 18-12 record in head coach Ryan Bowerman’s first season at the helm of the program. The Knights earned the program’s ninth-consecutive trip to the NAIA postseason in 2025.
