SEAHAWKS RIDE ‘DARK SIDE’ D, KENNETH WALKER TO SUPER BOWL LX VICTORY

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The “Dark Side” was not going to let history repeat itself. Instead, the Seattle Seahawks’ self-nicknamed defense more than returned the favor.

Eleven years after New England beat Seattle in Super Bowl XLIX with a clinching interception in the end zone, the Seahawks forced a pair of fourth-quarter turnovers to send Seattle to a 29-13 win over the Patriots on Sunday in Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium.

It is the second Super Bowl title in franchise history — 12 years after the Seahawks beat the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII.

Running back Kenneth Walker III rushed for 135 yards to earn Most Valuable Player honors, Jason Myers connected on all five field-goal attempts and quarterback Sam Darnold threw a touchdown pass while Seattle’s offense didn’t turn the ball over.

But it was the “Dark Side” that provided the real fireworks, setting the tone from the outset and closing the door when New England threatened to serve Seattle a second heartbreaking defeat on the game’s biggest stage.

The Seahawks, who led the NFL in allowing an average of 17.2 points per game during the regular season, held the Patriots to 51 total yards in the first half and off the scoreboard until the fourth quarter. And when New England twice appeared to have generated significant momentum, twice the Seahawks’ defense responded with turnovers.

The final blow came with the Patriots trying to rally from a 22-7 deficit with 4:27 remaining in the game. Seahawks cornerback Devon Witherspoon hit Patriots quarterback Drake Maye on a blitz, popping the ball in the air. It was intercepted by linebacker Uchenna Nwosu, who returned it 45 yards for his first career touchdown, all but cementing the second Super Bowl title in Seahawks history.

The final tally for Seattle’s defense was six sacks, eight tackles for loss, three forced turnovers and the touchdown. Three quarterback hits came courtesy of Witherspoon, while Derick Hall and Byron Murphy II each recorded a pair of sacks.

“They just made a decision that they’re going to play a certain way,” Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald, who also serves as the defensive play-caller, said in accepting the Lombardi Trophy. “They lived up to the ‘Dark Side’ today. It’s going to go down in the history books.

“We love our players, but they made it happen. They made it come to life, and we won the game.”

Sam Darnold threw for 202 yards and a touchdown, and while he led the offense to only one touchdown, he also completed Seattle’s three-game playoff run without throwing an interception.

“I have to give a shout out. Our offensive line, our tight ends, our receivers and, of course, the running backs for everything they did tonight. It’s special in the run game,” Darnold said. “But the defense!”

Three of Myers’ field goals came in the first half, when Seattle took a 9-0 lead to the locker room. However, the Seahawks left the Patriots in the game by failing to reach the end zone despite two trips inside the red zone.

With less than 100 yards in total offense and just 12:58 left in the game, the Patriots quickly capitalized in a break in the action when a fan streaked across the field. After the fan was wrestled to the ground and removed by several security personnel, Maye hit Mack Hollins with a 24-yard completion on the next play.

It was the biggest play of the game for New England’s offense to that point, and Maye immediately went back to the well. He hit Hollins again on a perfectly-thrown 35-yard touchdown strike to the left side of the end zone, beating tight coverage from Seahawks cornerback Riq Woolen.

The Patriots appeared to have fully switched the momentum when they forced a punt and Maye marched them to their 44-yard line on the ensuing drive with a 16-yard scramble and a 7-yard toss to Kyle Williams. However, he threw an ill-advised pass into coverage on the next play that was intercepted by Seahawks safety Julian Love.

Love returned it to the Patriots’ 38-yard line. Six plays later, Myers connected on his fifth field goal to extend Seattle’s lead to 22-7.

New England quickly moved the ball back into Seattle territory. But that’s when the Seahawks’ defense struck the decisive blow with Nwosu’s touchdown.

“I’d like to have it back,” Maye said. “I’d like to go back to the beginning and redo it. So many plays that decide and change the game. What was it, 19-7 or 22-7, I had the fumble or throw for a touchdown? It comes down to who makes the plays and who doesn’t.”

Maye added that he required a pain-killing injection in his shoulder in order to play, despite saying that the shoulder was fine all week leading up to game day. A Seattle defense that racked up 11 quarterback hits and forced three turnovers certainly didn’t help.

“The plan was to get to Maye. Disrupt him,” Nwosu said. “We knew — he was their whole team. He was the MVP runner-up, could’ve been MVP. We knew if we get to him, their game plan was nothing.”

Patriots rookie left tackle Will Campbell was charged with 16 pressures allowed, per NFL Next Gen Stats, a single-game high for any player this season, including the regular season.

“We can sit here and try to put it on one guy,” Patriots coach Mike Vrabel said. “You’ll be disappointed. That’ll never happen. It starts with us. The coaching staff making sure that we’re doing our part and, obviously, we’ve got to be able to protect. And we do protect we have to progress through, get guys open, help the quarterback.”

New England’s initial first down of the second half didn’t come until Seattle was flagged for defensive holding with 1:23 left in the third quarter. It was also the Seahawks’ first penalty of the game.

The Seahawks opened the scoring on a 33-yard field goal by Myers on their opening drive. Seattle took the kickoff and moved the ball 51 yards in just over three minutes, with Darnold sharp on completions to tight end A.J. Barner and Cooper Kupp in tight coverage, but the drive stalled on the Patriots’ 14-yard line.

That proved to be the only scoring of the opening quarter. New England penetrated Seattle territory on both of its first two drives, only to suffer three negative plays — including a pair of sacks — that resulted in two punts. The Seahawks managed only one more first down in a pair of drives after the field goal.

NOTES: Seattle wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba was taken to the locker room to be evaluated for a concussion after making a reception in the third quarter, but returned in the fourth quarter and made a catch on Seattle’s final drive. … Seahawks rookie defensive tackle Rylie Mills, who entered the game with one career solo tackle, recorded his first NFL sack when he dropped Maye for a 10-yard loss in the second quarter. Mills suffered a torn ACL toward the end of his 2024 season at Notre Dame, causing him to slide to the fifth round of the 2025 draft. Mills was activated by the Seahawks in November but played only a modest role in the line rotation. … The first penalty of the game wasn’t called until 3:09 remaining in the second quarter, when Patriots left tackle Will Campbell was flagged for a false start.

SBLX NOTEBOOK: VEGAS-BOUND KLINT KUBIAK BIDS FAREWELL TO SEATTLE

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak said on the field Sunday night he’s headed to Las Vegas to become a head coach.

“We’re going to enjoy tonight. You guys know I’m going to Las Vegas, and I’m fired up about it,” Kubiak said. “Hell yeah, I’m going.”

Kubiak spent the 2025 season with the Seahawks and played a vital role in quarterback Sam Darnold’s success and connection with wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba. The Seahawks completed the postseason with zero turnovers, the first team in league history to win the Super Bowl and wrap up a multiple-game playoff run without a giveaway.

“He’s a great coach,” Darnold said. “He’s a grinder. He’s always working, always looking for an edge.”

Kubiak turns 39 this month and could bring members of the Seahawks’ coaching staff with him. One likely to be on his radar is offensive line coach John Benton. Benton told Field Level Media this week he’s at home in Seattle, but didn’t make any official declarations.

–There was one player at the center of the entire defensive gameplan for the Seattle Seahawks. All week, Seattle plotted to put as many grass stains as possible on the white uniform of Patriots quarterback Drake Maye.

Packing pressure on Maye until the Patriots reached a breaking point was the plan, and Seattle went to the winning locker room after three takeaways by keeping the heat on New England’s quarterback.

Perhaps no play epitomized the Seahawks’ strategy — and success — than a first-and-10 play from the Seattle 44 with 4 1/2 minutes to play. Seattle safety Devon Witherspoon caught Maye by surprise on a blitz and, as the quarterback tried to quicky throw the ball away, hit Maye’s arm. The ball flicked into the arms of linebacker Uchenna Nwosu, who returned the interception 45 yards for a score. That made the score 29-7 and served as a poetic nail in the coffin.

“The plan was to get to Maye. Disrupt him. We knew — he was their whole team,” Nwosu said. “He was the MVP runner-up, could’ve been MVP. We knew if we get to him, their game plan was nothing.”

–Patriots left tackle Will Campbell had a rough time with the depth and diversity of the Seattle defensive front. He allowed an easy sack to Derick Hall and NFL Next Gen Stats listed him as the responsible blocker on 16 total pressures, more than any offensive lineman allowed in any regular-season or playoff game this season.

While Maye answered questions postgame for more than 14 minutes, Campbell was the only member of the Patriots who declined interviews.

Maye paused and was choked-up several times seated at a podium for his postgame press conference and said the one thing he’ll take away from the experience of his second NFL season is “I’m proud. So proud to do it with these guys.”

–Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III said his dad, Kenneth Walker Jr., was in attendance on Sunday night. It was Walker Jr.’s first NFL game in-person because he doesn’t like large crowds. Walker had 161 yards from scrimmage.

“It means a lot,” Walker III said. “He comes to Seattle all the time. But he never comes to the games. He don’t like crowds. This is his first NFL game and we won a Super Bowl. I know he’s proud of me for real.

“My agent convinced him to come out here. I didn’t think he would come. They ended up mic’ing him up and everything. He got out of his comfort zone.”

SUPER BOWL TITLE PUNCTUATES SAM DARNOLD’S REDEMPTION STORY

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Sam Darnold didn’t need to play a starring role to pen the final chapter in one of the greatest redemption stories in NFL history on Sunday night.

Darnold completed 19 of 38 passes for 202 yards with a touchdown and did not turn the ball over in Seattle’s 29-13 victory over New England in Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium. He didn’t win Most Valuable Player honors — those went to running back Kenneth Walker III. And truth be told, he missed a few open receivers that could have helped the Seahawks pull away earlier in the game.

But Darnold also led an efficient offense that steadily applied more pressure on a Patriots offense besieged by the Seahawks’ relentless defense. He also completed a three-game postseason run without throwing an interception after tossing 14 during the regular season.

A former first-round pick previously cast aside by the New York Jets and Carolina Panthers, Darnold is now a Super Bowl champion, playing for his fifth team in eight seasons. And while he wasn’t the Super Bowl hero, he was most definitely a major driving force in Seattle’s journey to the franchise’s second world championship.

“My teammates and my coaches, they believed in me ever since the beginning of OTAs, training camp,” Darnold said in what gave him the belief that the Seahawks had championship potential. “That was our mindset. Every single day we came to work.”

Following three seasons with the Jets and two with the Panthers, Darnold latched on with the San Francisco 49ers in 2023 as Brock Purdy’s backup. It was ironically playing with the 49ers in the stadium of Sunday night’s ultimate triumph that began Darnold’s resurrection from being viewed as one of the biggest busts in NFL draft history.

He only threw 46 passes that season, but showed enough growth under 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan that the Minnesota Vikings signed him in 2024. When J.J. McCarthy went down to a torn ACL before the season started, Darnold guided the Vikings to a 14-3 regular-season record.

However, a disastrous playoff performance contributed to Minnesota deciding not to re-sign Darnold in the offseason. The Seahawks signed Darnold to a three-year deal worth more than $100 million to replace Geno Smith, beginning a relationship that ultimately led to an NFC West title, home-field advantage and a Super Bowl title.

Darnold was consistently under pressure when he dropped back on Sunday night. The Patriots’ blitz-heavy gameplan only resulted in one sack, but Darnold was constantly on the move. So, Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak responded with a run-heavy attack that led to Walker ripping off 135 yards on 27 carries.

Darnold’s lone touchdown pass came on a throw to tight end AJ Barner in the fourth quarter — a few possessions after All-Pro wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba went to the locker room to be evaluated for a potential concussion. So, Darnold turned to Barner and veteran wide receiver Cooper Kupp to finally reach the end zone after two previous trips to the red zone resulted in field goals.

Darnold finished the game with 202 passing yards and the touchdown for a modest 74.7 passer rating. But he also left Levi’s Stadium as a Super Bowl champion, with his status forever etched in Seahawks history.

Darnold’s thoughts when he saw the blue and green confetti falling down following the final whistle?

“We did it,” he said. “That was it. It’s been such a special journey with these guys. So much hard work that’s been poured into this, and that’s it.

“It’s just a job well done.”

JT TOPPIN, NO. 13 TEXAS TECH SCOOT PAST WEST VIRGINIA

JT Toppin scored 22 points and hauled in nine rebounds to lead No. 13 Texas Tech to a 70-63 win over West Virginia in Big 12 Conference play on Sunday in Morgantown, W. Va.

Donovan Atwell scored 15 points, while Christian Anderson returned from a one-game absence due to illness to score 13 points and hand out 11 assists for the Red Raiders (17-6, 7-3 Big 12). Jaylen Petty added 11 points as Texas Tech snapped a two-game losing streak.

Brenen Lorient led West Virginia (15-9, 6-5) with 21 points. Jasper Floyd and Chance Moore each contributed 10 points for the Mountaineers.

Texas Tech made 47.9% of its field goal attempts and 54.2% of its threes (13 of 24). Conversely, West Virginia shot 43.6% from the field and just 9.1% from long range (2 of 22). The poor marksmanship from behind the arc offset the Mountaineers’ effectiveness around the rim.

West Virginia held a 38-20 advantage on points scored in the paint.

A Toppin three extended the Texas Tech lead to double digits, 30-19, with 5:49 left in the half. Moments later, Petty canned a wide-open three and the Red Raiders led 35-23. Toppin’s hook shot gave the Red Raiders a 39-27 halftime lead.

While the Mountaineers shot 40.7% (11 of 27) in the first half, they connected on just 14.3% of their shots from beyond the arc (2 of 14). Texas Tech lit it up and shot 60.9% (14 of 23) from the field and 72.7% (8 of 11) from three.

After a listless first half where the Texas Tech defense held Mountaineers leading scorer Honor Huff scoreless, West Virginia came out of the locker room fired up.

An 8-0 run featured four close-range buckets as the Mountaineers pulled within 39-35 on a reverse layup from Harlan Obioha.

Consecutive treys from Atwell and Toppin snapped the West Virginia rally and highlighted a 10-0 scoring spree as the Red Raiders led 52-37.

A late 13-5 West Virginia rally featured nine points from Lorient and pulled the Mountaineers within 68-63 with seven seconds to play. LeJaun Watts nailed two free throws in the closing seconds for the final margin.

Huff finished with six points — all on free throws — and missed all eight of his field-goal attempts.

ADAY MARA’S CAREER DAY SPARKS NO. 2 MICHIGAN PAST OHIO STATE

Aday Mara scored a career-high 24 points as No. 2 Michigan cruised to its eighth straight win with an 82-61 verdict over Ohio State on Sunday afternoon in Columbus, Ohio.

Mara made 11 of 16 field goal attempts and grabbed six rebounds while Yaxel Lendeborg had 14 points and 14 rebounds for the Wolverines (22-1, 12-1 Big Ten) as they maintained the league lead and extended the best start in school history. Trey McKenney added 12 points and Morez Johnson Jr. contributed 11 points and 12 rebounds.

Bruce Thornton had 16 points, Devin Royal 15 and Christoph Tilly 10 for the Buckeyes (15-8, 7-6 Big Ten), who never led while falling to Michigan for the second time in 17 days.

Michigan took a 4-2 lead and never looked back to take a 44-34 advantage into the locker room.

A critical juncture came when the Wolverines’ Mara, Nimari Burnett and L.J. Cason nailed 3-pointers in a 1:42 stretch to turn a 26-24 edge into a 35-26 lead.

Michigan extended its lead to 44-32 as the Buckeyes hit one of their final seven shots in the first half.

Tilly got off to a hot start with eight points in the first 3:35 of the game, but he did not score the remainder of the half and went to the bench with his third foul with two minutes to go.

The Wolverines won the battle of the boards 44-31, with 17 of them on the offensive glass that helped them outscore the Buckeyes 42-20 in the paint.

Michigan won 74-62 on Jan. 23 in Ann Arbor in the first of the home-and-home series that second-year Ohio State coach Jake Diebler pushed for after the schools played once last season. He enlisted the help of Michigan coach Dusty May to ensure the rivalry made the conference’s protected series list.

Michigan increased its 10-point halftime lead to 54-39 on Johnson’s fast-break dunk after a block by Lendeborg. The Buckeyes did not get closer than 11 points thereafter.

ACC FINES NORTH CAROLINA $50K FOR COURT-STORMING VS. DUKE

The Atlantic Coast Conference fined North Carolina $50,000 on Sunday after fans stormed the court in the No. 14 Tar Heels’ 71-68 upset of No. 4 Duke one night earlier in Chapel Hill, N.C.

Duke coach Jon Scheyer had said at his postgame news conference that members of his staff were punched by people storming the court after North Carolina’s Seth Trimble hit a game-winning 3-pointer with 0.4 seconds left.

The ACC said in a statement that the University of North Carolina was fined for violating the league’s event security policy.

“The conference’s event security policy is designed to protect the safety and well-being of all student-athletes, coaches, officials and fans,” the ACC said, noting that the fine of $50,000 is for a first offense.

North Carolina released a statement on Sunday after the fine was announced.

“We accept the ACC’s fine for having unauthorized people on the court before Duke and the officials could completely clear the floor on Saturday,” it read. “The video we have confirms we followed our protocols to get Duke’s players and bench personnel and the game officials off the floor safely. We will continue to review our protocols to provide the highest measures of safety in the event fans rush the court. We consider this matter closed and look forward to the rest of the season.”

There actually were two court-storming incidents, as time was left on the clock after Trimble’s basket. Fans had to leave the court for Duke to run another play before the final buzzer and another rush to the court.

“For me, it’s hard for me to talk about the game when I was most concerned just for the safety of our players after the game,” Scheyer said on Saturday night. “I don’t want to make it about that because Carolina, they played a great game to win, and that’s a heartbreaking loss for our team.

“I got staff members that got punched in the face. My family pushing people away, trying to not get trampled. And that’s not what this game is about. You give them all the credit in the world. It’s not about the game, but obviously that was a scary ending, and this rivalry is not about that.”

North Carolina athletic director Bubba Cunningham told reporters after the game that he apologized to Scheyer.

“When they rushed the court, a number of people got knocked over,” Cunningham said on Saturday night. “But then we had to clear the court again. So, when we normally have something like just rushing the court and the game is over, we do have a line by the benches to get people off safely.

“Obviously, if somebody got injured, that’s just really, really disappointing,” he said. “We’ll do the best we can to make sure that doesn’t happen, but again, my apologies to Duke for that.”

The league said that all fines collected under the policy go to a scholarship fund for ACC student-athletes pursuing graduate education.

NHL

NHL ROUNDUP: AVERY HAYES SCORES TWICE IN DEBUT AS PENS TOP SABRES

Avery Hayes lit the lamp twice in an unforgettable NHL debut as the Pittsburgh Penguins put a stop to their two-game losing streak with a 5-2 road victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday.

Fellow rookie Ben Kindel also found the back of the net twice for the Penguins. Pittsburgh’s Tommy Novak scored the other goal and Arturs Silovs made 26 saves.

Tage Thompson tallied his 30th goal of the season and Jason Zucker scored early for the Sabres, who are 1-2-1 in their past four games. Alex Lyon stopped 27 of the 31 shots he faced in the Sabres’ crease.

With the Penguins trailing 1-0, Hayes scored a beauty on his first career shot. He sped around a defender to pick up a loose puck and fired it past Lyon to knot the contest at 1-1 with 10:42 left in the first period. His one-timer with 1:13 left in the opening gave Pittsburgh the lead for good.

Lightning 6, Panthers 1

Erik Cernak scored his first goal, Nikita Kucherov stretched his point streak to 10 games, and Tampa Bay headed off to the Winter Olympics break by earning its 10th straight home win by blowing out Florida.

Brandon Hagel, Zemgus Girgensons, Pontus Holmberg and Oliver Bjorkstrand scored at even strength and Jake Guentzel added a power-play goal. Goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 33 shots in the win.

The Lightning won three of the four matches in the season series and moved to 19-1-1 in their past 21 matches overall. The feisty match featured 167 penalty minutes.

Nick Cousins also scored and James Reimer made 15 saves for the Senators, who head into the Olympic break having won five of their past six games. Philadelphia, which earned a point thanks to Jamie Drysdale’s goal late in regulation, has lost five of six entering the break.

Hurricanes 2, Rangers 0

GOLF

CHRIS GOTTERUP WINS PHOENIX OPEN IN PLAYOFF AFTER MATSUYAMA FALTERS

Chris Gotterup was on a roll when his fourth round at the WM Phoenix Open concluded Sunday. About an hour later, he picked up where he left off.

Gotterup posted a birdie on the first playoff hole after late mishaps by Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama opened the door for him to win at TPC Scottsdale’s Stadium Course in Arizona.

Gotterup, 26, notched his second victory of 2026 and the fourth of his young career. He shot a 7-under-par 64 and waited for a chance in a playoff.

“I just figured I’d stay loose,” Gotterup said. “I didn’t think this would happen, especially after Friday (71) and Saturday (70). But here we are.”

Gotterup and Matsuyama ended up at 16-under 268 on a day when world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler made a strong move toward the top and created considerable buzz.

Gotterup has won three tour events in less than a seven-month span. This was his first time in a playoff.

“I’m having such a good time playing right now,” Gotterup said. “Just so awesome. … There’s just so many people who believe in me.”

Gotterup, who also won last month’s season-opening Sony Open in Hawaii, posted birdies on five of the final six holes in the last round. The last of those came after he recovered from a wayward tee shot.

“I knew I had to make birdie on 18, but you never know,” Gotterup said. “Hideki was playing great.”

To end the fourth round, Matsuyama’s erratic driving finally cost him. His tee shot on the 18th hole ended up in a bunker and his quest to scramble for par failed when he was off the mark on a 24-foot putt. He took his lone bogey of the round.

Then Matsuyama’s tee shot on the playoff hole landed in the water alongside the fairway. Gotterup played it steady and recorded another birdie to seal the deal.

Two of Matsuyama’s 11 victories on the PGA Tour have come in this tournament. He also won in 2016 and 2017, but he couldn’t finish the quest this time.

“Was grinding all weekend,” Matsuyama said through a translator. “Didn’t have my best stuff, but hung in there. I wanted to avoid the playoff as much as I could, but I just hit a bad tee shot there in regulation at 18 and Chris made a good putt there in the playoff.”

Matsuyama carried a one-shot lead on countryman Ryo Hisatsune into the final round.

Matsuyama was trying to win a fourth PGA Tour event in a 24-month period. This marked the sixth time that Matsuyama has been the outright leader through 54 holes on the PGA Tour, and he had won each of the previous five times. He overcame multi-stroke deficits to win the other times in this tournament, but he couldn’t protect a lead Sunday.

Scheffler, who began his season two weeks earlier by winning The American Express, became the biggest story of the day for much of the round. He was within one shot of the lead through 15 holes, though he was playing several groups ahead of the last threesome. He finished with 64.

“The last three days I played really solid,” Scheffler said, knowing Thursday’s 73 cost him. “Overall, proud of the way I fought this week and definitely some good momentum going into next week.”

Michael Thorbjornsen (67), Akshay Bhatia (67), South Korea’s Si Woo Kim (68) and Denmark’s Nicolai Hojgaard (68) shared third place with Scheffler at 15 under.

Scheffler played the front side in 3 under and then strung together three more birdies on Nos. 13-15. That included sinking a shot from the fringe about 72 feet away on the par-4 14th. He also birdied No. 17.

With Scheffler’s round complete, Thorbjornsen briefly catapulted into the lead with an 11-foot eagle putt on No. 15. He gave one of those strokes back with a bogey on the next hole after launching his tee shot beyond the green on the par-3 hole.

Thorbjornsen, a 24-year-old seeking his first PGA Tour triumph, settled for his seventh finish in the top five. Hojgaard is also 24 and without a tour victory.

China’s Zecheng Dou had the day’s best round with 63, moving him to 11 under and tied for 13th.

PATRICK REED CONTINUES HOT RUN, WINS QATAR MASTERS BY 2 SHOTS

After departing LIV Golf last month and with his return to the PGA Tour not set until this summer, all Patrick Reed has done in the interim is win tournaments.

Reed won the Qatar Masters on Sunday in Doha at 16-under-par 272, following his 2-under 70 in the final round of the DP World Tour event. It is the American’s second tournament victory in three weeks after he won the Hero Dubai Desert Classic in January.

It nearly was three trophies in three weeks, but Reed lost in a playoff during last week’s Bahrain Championship.

“This little run I’ve had, two wins and a second, it’s awesome,” Reed said. “We couldn’t ask anything more than what we did. It’s special, to come out here especially to get two wins early on in the season, and hopefully there’s a lot more to come.”

Calum Hill of Scotland finished in second place at 14 under after shooting a 5-under 67 in the final round, while Denmark’s Jacob Skov Olesen (71) and American Johannes Veerman (68) tied for third at 13 under.

“Golf feels good at the minute (and) it was nice to have a really good week last week,” Hill said. “… Today it was a different story, it was a big chase. You’re trying to get as much on the field as you can and then hopefully Patrick didn’t go too far away.”

Reed was 1-over par over his first nine holes Sunday but was able to hold off the hard-charging Hill with birdies on three of the first four holes on the back nine. He came home with four consecutive pars to win on the European Tour for the fifth time in his career.

Since leaving the PGA Tour in 2022, Reed won one LIV Golf tournament in June of last year at Dallas. The 2018 Masters winner has won nine times on the PGA Tour, with the last in 2021 at the Farmers Insurance Open just outside of San Diego.

Reed’s latest victory was in doubt early after he carried a two-shot lead into the final round. That was erased when Olesen had a birdie on the first hole and Reed posted a bogey on his second hole to create a tie at the top of the leaderboard.

Oliver Lindell of Finland charged into the lead with six birdies and two bogeys over his first eight holes. Lindell, who finished tied for sixth at 12 under, fell by the wayside with a double bogey 6 at the 15th hole that took him to 3 over on the back nine at the time.

“It wasn’t looking very good there on the front nine,” Reed said. “To lose the lead like that and then to be able to kind of flip the switch there on the back nine obviously felt amazing.”

Veerman made a late run with five birdies over his final nine holes before Reed showed a steady hand to close out his round.

“I feel amazing,” Reed said. “This one hasn’t fully sunk in yet but today, with how stressful the day was, I was very proud because it very easily could have gotten away from me. The golf we’ve played since basically the offseason has been some stellar golf. I feel really confident in my golf game right now.”

PURDUE WRESTLING

SCHAEFER WINS TITLE, 5 BOILERS EARN PLACEMENT AT GREYHOUND OPEN

INDIANAPOLIS — As No. 24 Purdue Wrestling’s starters competed against No. 11 on Sunday, 11 underclassmen Boilermakers competed in the annual Greyhound Open, hosted by UIndy.

True freshman Isaiah Schaefer (141 lbs) won his second consecutive tournament crown just eight days after winning the first title of his career at the Wabash Open. The Evansville, Indiana native went 5-0 on Sunday with two technical falls, a major decision and two decisions. Schaefer amassed a total score of 63-17 and improved to 13-2 on the year.

He beat Nebraska’s Jake Hockaday in the finals in an impressive 7-4 decision. Hockaday was a three-time Indiana state champion out of Brownsburg and the No. 30 overall recruit in the Class of 2025.

Schaefer, the 2025 Indiana state champion and Fargo All-American in Greco-Roman and Freestyle, looks like a force to be reckoned with for the foreseeable future in the Boilermaker lineup. Earlier this season he defeated No. 25 Kade Moore in his first-ever college match at the Tiger Style Open. Schaefer is redshirting this season, so he will have four more years of eligibility beginning in 2026-27.

Four other Boilers earned placement in Indy; Vincent Paino (133) and Isaiah Quintero (125) each notched runner-up finishes. Paino went 4-1 with a fall, tech. fall and major decision. Quintero earned two decisions and a pin on his way to the title match, finishing 3-1.

Adrian Pellot (165) went 4-2 to place seventh and Dominic Burgett, wrestling in his first matches all season, earned four wins as a heavyweight to place eighth.

NOTRE DAME SOFTBALL

IRISH KNOCK OFF #21/23 LIBERTY, SPLIT FINAL DAY AT NFCA LEADOFF CLASSIC

CLEARWATER, Fla. – The University of Notre Dame softball team split the final day of the NFCA Leadoff Classic Sunday, knocking off No. 21/23 Liberty 5-1 before coming up short against Rutgers, 4-6. The Irish end the weekend 3-3 overall.

The Irish got their first ranked win of the season during the morning matchup against Liberty behind a brilliant effort from Kami Kamzik, tossing her third career complete game. Kamzik has had success at the NFCA Leadoff Classic in the past, throwing a complete game winning effort a season ago in the win over Penn State.

Offensively, Notre Dame relied on putting the ball in play, not striking out at all against the Flames. Notre Dame worked four walks, stole three bases and kept the pressure on Liberty’s defense all morning. Kaia Cortes, a local of Tampa, logged two hits, scored a run and drove a run in in the ranked win.

The Irish fell behind against Rutgers, but battled back. Cortes continued her impressive day with an RBI single and finished the day with four hits, two runs scored and two runs driven in combined between the two games. Ava Zachary, a local product from Mishawaka, Indiana, launched her first career homer, but the Irish ultimately fell to the Scarlet Knights to close the opening weekend.

The season continues on Friday, February 13th against Maryland at 12:30 PM at the Purple-Gold Classic in Greenville, North Carolina.

Game 1 – Liberty

Kami Kamzik was brilliant for the Irish, notching a complete game effort. The junior gave up only four hits and one earned run in those seven innings, and didn’t allow a walk. The right hander punched out six and induced 10 groundouts.

Notre Dame struck first in the bottom of the second when Sydny Poeck reached on a fielding error, scoring Rebecca Eckart. Kaia Cortes followed her up with a single through the right side to score Hayden Kyne and make it 2-0.

In the fourth inning, a two-out single up the middle from Caroline O’Brien put the third run of the game for the Irish. The following inning, a Poeck double scored pinch runner Molly Conner to give Notre Dame a four run lead.

After Liberty scored in the top of the sixth, the Irish got the run back in the bottom half on an Eckart RBI single to score Winchell.

Kamzik trotted to the circle in the top of the seventh and got a 1-2-3 seventh inning, ending the game on a fly out to center field to secure the 5-1 win.

Game 2 – Rutgers

Following a quick turnaround after the win over Liberty, Micaela Kastor took the ball in the final game of the tournament for the Irish. Both teams went scoreless after the first.

Rutgers got on the scoreboard first off a two-run homer. They would add four more in the fifth to make it 6-0 after five.

Notre Dame continued to show fight. In the bottom of the sixth, Cortes lined one into left center to score Kyne for the first Irish run. Moments later, Ava Zachary roped her first home run, a three-run opposite field homer that sailed over the left field fence to cut the Scarlet Knights’ lead to just two.

The Irish gave themselves another chance to tie the game in the seventh. With two outs, Kyne drew a full count walk right before Poeck singled to center to bring the potential go-ahead run to the plate in Cortes, who fouled out on an 0-1 pitch to end the game.

BALL STATE MEN’S TENNIS RALLIES FOR DRAMATIC 4-3 COMEBACK VICTORY AT IN-STATE RIVAL BUTLER

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – The Ball State men’s tennis team (4-3) orchestrated a stunning comeback Sunday afternoon, overcoming an early deficit to defeat in-state rival Butler(3-5)  4-3 at the IRC Dean Road indoor facility.

“Gutty, Gritty come back for the Cardinals,” Ball State head men’s tennis coach Gene Orlando said. “Great bounce back win after a tough loss yesterday.”

Trailing late in the match, the Cardinals (4-3) relied on gritty three-set performances in the final singles slots to secure the road win and bounce back from a narrow loss just 24 hours prior to Cleveland State. Not all the doubles competition was lost as Jenson Bicanic alongside Broc Fletcher managed to take down Siddhartha Lama and Arnesh Singh 6-4 at the third slot today.

Ball State quickly leveled the score when Jacks Lancaster dominated at the No. 1 singles position, dispatching Nicolas Arts 6-4, 6-4. Drew Hayward, Jeremy Millette and Fletcher all took their respective opponents to three sets. But it was Millette who would be the decider of the Cardinals fate today. Milette took a nail biting first frame 7-6 (6) against Butler’s No. 4 singles player, Lama. Milette then dropped the second 6-1 before clinching match point in the third by a 6-4 decision.

The Ball State men’s tennis team returns to Indianapolis for its next match as the Cardinals take on IU Indy on Friday at 1 pm ET.

EVANSVILLE SOFTBALL

SOFTBALL COMPLETES OPENING WEEKEND WITH 6-2 VICTORY

MACON, Ga. – Sunday’s Heart of Georgia Classic finale saw the University of Evansville softball team completed the weekend with a solid 6-2 victory over Maine.

Jess Willsey and Maliyah Wilkins recorded two hits apiece to pace the offense while Kate Ridgway and Alexis Tucker got the job done in the circle. Most impressive on the offensive side was the fact that all six UE runs scored with two outs. Ridgway picked up her second victory of the weekend going 5 1/3 innings with one run scoring on just two hits. She added seven strikeouts. Tucker threw the final 1 2/3 frames with a single run scoring.

Following a scoreless first inning, the Purple Aces opened the scoring with a 2-run bottom of the second. Sydney Kalonihea was hit by a pitch while Brooke Voss doubled to put two runners in scoring position. With two outs, Taylor Howe struck out but reached on a dropped third strike. That gave Willsey a chance and her 2-run single broke the scoreless tie. One batter later, Wilkins singled to bring in Howe to make it a 3-0 game.

The Black Bears scored their first run of the day in the top of the third before the Aces broke through in the fourth. Howe scored her second run of the game when Niki Bode reached on a Maine error. The bases remained loaded for Kalonihea, who was hit by a pitch to tack on the fifth run of the day.

Brooke Voss completed the scoring in the bottom of the sixth when she drew a bases loaded walk to score pinch runner Dori Brown. One more Black Bear run scored in the seventh, but the Aces completed the day with the 6-2 win.

SOUTHERN INDIANA SOFTBALL

EAGLES WRAP UP PLAY AT THE STINGER CLASSIC TO CONCLUDE OPENING WEEKEND

MONTGOMERY, Ala. – University of Southern Indiana Softball wrapped up play at the Alabama State University Stinger Classic in Montgomery, Alabama, on Sunday afternoon, falling 5-3 against Murray State University and 10-2 in six innings against Alabama State to conclude the opening weekend schedule.

The Screaming Eagles (0-4) began the day with an early morning start against Murray State (2-2). The Racers jumped out early with a 3-0 lead through two innings.

USI cut into the deficit with a pair of runs in the top of the third inning, as senior outfielder Caroline Stapleton recorded an RBI single and junior infielder Sydney Long had a sac fly to make it a 3-2 ballgame.

After Murray State tacked on a run for a 4-2 advantage through the fifth inning, USI answered on a solo home run from junior outfielder Kate Satkoski, USI’s first home run of the season, to pull back within one.

However, the Racers regained a two-run lead in the bottom of the sixth inning and closed out the game from there, despite USI bringing the potential game-winning run to the plate in the top of the seventh.

USI totaled seven hits, as Satkoski had two hits and two runs scored. Sophomore first baseman Grace Huffman also notched two hits in the game. In the pitching circle, freshman hurler Anna Kemp (0-1) suffered the loss, allowing five runs – three earned – in a full six innings and striking out eight batters.

For the Racers, sophomore pitcher Karlye Graber (1-0) picked up the win in relief, allowing one run in 3.2 innings of work. Sophomore pitcher Emily Siurek took a no-decision in the start, going 3.1 innings and giving up two runs – one earned.

In the second game of the day and final contest of the weekend, another slow start plagued the Screaming Eagles. Alabama State got off to a fast start with a 7-0 lead through three innings.

USI tried to fight back in the sixth inning, as Satkoski and Huffman delivered at the plate again. Huffman came through with an RBI double, while Satkoski got an RBI knock to bring USI within five, 7-2. However, the Hornets got out of the inning and scored three times in the bottom of the sixth to end the game.

The Eagles scattered five hits among five players at the plate. Inside the circle, freshman pitcher Elly Robbins (0-2) took the loss after allowing seven runs in 2.1 innings pitched. Sophomore pitcher Kylie Witthaus went 2.2 innings in relief and surrendered three runs.

Alabama State’s freshman pitcher Amanda Cintron (1-0) got the win and went the distance with two runs allowed.

VALPO SOFTBALL

WALK-OFF WIN CAPS SWEEP OF OPENING WEEKEND FOR SOFTBALL

Facing a deficit for the first time on opening weekend of the 2026 season, the Valpo softball team overcame an early four-run hole against Oakland and eventually won 6-5 on a walk-off single from Mack Gallagher (Frankfort, Ill./Lincoln-Way East [MSU Moorhead]) to complete a perfect 4-0 performance at the DePaul Dome Tournament. In their first game Sunday, the Beacons blanked Green Bay, 6-0, with Sydney McDermott (Stout, Ohio/Portsmouth West) and Ava Goodman (San Diego, Calif./West Hills) combining for the shutout in the circle.

How It Happened – Green Bay

Valpo didn’t lack for chances in the opening innings, as the Beacons put five runners on base in the first four innings — four of which advanced into scoring position — without cracking the scoreboard.

On the flip side, McDermott was holding her own in the circle, pitching around one-out doubles in the second and fourth innings to keep Green Bay off the board.

The breakthrough came for the Beacons in the bottom of the fifth, and even more so than it did in Saturday’s big inning against Detroit Mercy, it was due to an astute eye at the plate. Valpo pushed six runs across the plate against the Phoenix in the fifth despite tallying just two singles, as six batters drew walks — all but one of them coming on full-count pitches. When Sophia Leitzen (Orfordville, Wis./Brodhead) delivered a sacrifice fly to plate Kayden Krug (Milford, Ohio/Mount Notre Dame), the Beacons enjoyed a 6-0 lead.

Goodman closed things out in the circle for Valpo, tossing scoreless sixth and seventh innings to finish off the win.

How It Happened – Oakland

After not trailing in each of its first three games of the season, the Beacons found themselves in an immediate hole against the Golden Grizzlies, who plated four runs in the top of the first inning.

Valpo had chances to cut into the deficit in each of the first three frames, but stranded six runners on base over the three innings without scoring.

The Beacons were finally able to cut into the lead in the bottom of the fourth, plating three runs to make it a one-run game. Lana Tellez (Chino Hills, Calif./Chino Hills) scored on an Oakland error after reaching on a pinch-hit double to lead off the frame, Leitzen came home on a wild pitch and Azalya Lopez (Corona, Calif./Eleanor Roosevelt [MSU Moorhead]) plated Madison Vrastil (Oak Forest, Ill./Andrew) with an RBI single to make it a 4-3 game.

One frame later, it was Valpo emerging with the lead, as Gallagher drew a bases-loaded walk and Lopez followed with her second run-scoring base hit in as many innings to put the Beacons on top, 5-4.

The Golden Grizzlies plated the tying run in the top of the seventh, but that just set up the walk-off victory for Valpo. Back-to-back one-out singles from Leitzen and Vrastil put the potential winning run in scoring position, and two batters later, Gallagher drilled a shot back up the middle to score Leitzen and set off the celebration to cap the weekend.

Inside the Games

Valpo is 4-0 through four games for the fifth time in program history, and just the second time against all D-I opponents. The 2017 squad started 5-0 for the best start by a Valpo team, while the 1986, 2000 and 2002 teams all faced at least two non D-I opponents en route to a 4-0 start.

The Beacons’ walk-off win against the Golden Grizzlies was their first since winning in their final at-bat against Evansville March 29, 2025. It was Valpo’s first walk-off victory in nonconference play since a game-ending home run against Cleveland State March 8, 2020.

Valpo drew nine walks Sunday against Green Bay and then earned 10 free passes in the win over Oakland, the latter tied for fifth in program history in a single game. The Beacons finished with 37 walks over the first four games of the season, drawing at least nine walks in each game — the first time in program history they have drawn nine or more walks in four straight contests.

Valpo’s win over Green Bay was its sixth straight in the series against the Phoenix, dating back to when the two programs shared Horizon League membership in 2017.

No Beacon had multiple hits in the morning win over Green Bay, as Valpo needed just six hits to go with its nine walks to earn the victory.

Grace Hollopeter (Lake Village, Ind./North Newton [Purdue Fort Wayne]) reached in all four of her plate appearances against the Phoenix, going 1-for-1 with a run scored and three walks. The three free passes ties for third-most in a single game in program history.

Kim Rodas (San Bernardino, Calif./Cajon) reached in all three of her plate appearances versus Green Bay as well, as she went 1-for-1 with a double, an RBI and two walks.

McDermott earned her second win of the season against the Phoenix, tossing five innings of three-hit shutout ball and striking out seven without a single walk. Goodman closed out the victory in her Valpo debut with two shutout innings.

The win over the nightcap was highlighted by Vrastil reaching base four times, going 1-for-2 with two runs scored and three walks — matching Hollopeter from earlier Sunday and Gallagher from Saturday for the third-most walks in a game in program history.

After starting the game on the bench, Tellez went 2-for-2 with a run scored, a double and a walk in the win over the Golden Grizzlies — the junior entered the game against Oakland having just four hits and one walk on her collegiate ledger.

Gallagher’s walk-off single capped a game where she went 2-for-4 with two RBIs and a walk. Lopez went 2-for-4 with two RBIs, while Leitzen scored three runs to set a career best for runs scored.

Caitlyn Quickle (Leesburg, Ohio/Fairfield Local) was instrumental to Valpo’s win over the Golden Grizzlies, as she entered with four runs already on the board in the first and runners on second and third, got out of the inning and proceeded to pitch 4.2 innings of shutout softball, surrendering just three hits and no walks.

McDermott improved to 3-0 this season in the circle as she tossed the final two innings.

Next Up

Valpo (4-0) looks to continue its unbeaten start to the season next weekend at UT Martin’s Skyhawk Invitational. The Beacons will play five games over three days, starting with matchups versus Saint Louis and Mississippi Valley State Friday, Feb. 13.

UINDY WRESTLING

HOUNDS HOST 15TH ANNUAL GREYHOUND OPEN, DOSS PLACES EIGHTH

INDIANAPOLIS – A day after the Greyhounds went 2-1 at the Greyhound Duals, the UIndy wrestling team hosted 29 schools from both the NCAA Division I, II, III and NAIA ranks. Bryce Bodd was the lone Greyhound to place at 157, with 20 other Greyhounds competing across the nine weight classes.

INS & OUTS

For Doss, who wrestled unattached for UIndy in the 157 weight class, he began his day against the eventual runner-up in the 157 weight class, Ryan Bennett from Illinois. Following an opening round loss, he reeled off five straight wins to earn his way into a spot in the 7th place match. He tallied three straight first period pin victories, including over Quincy’s Jacob Sigman and Saul Razo, as well as King’s Elijah Brown. He then captured his fourth win of the day via second period tech fall Wabash’s Chasen Kazmierczak, before two straight no contests that resulted in his eighth place finish.

The freshman Gavin Davis, who also wrestled unattached, produced some other notable results for the Hounds today including a win over the No. 9-seed Pat Downing from Ohio State via a 4-2 decision. He was down 1-0 heading into the third period, but used an escape and a take down to get to the four points he needed to pull off the upset win. Similarly in his first match he was the underdog, and pulled off another upset, this time over Bellarmine’s Luke Leclerc. His second period pin came after he already held a 7-1 lead.

Tucker Campbell, who similarly to Doss wrestled unattached in the 157 weight class, earned two wins on the day. His first win came against McKendree’s Luke Kemper via a fist period fall, and his second came in dominant decision win over Manchester’s Ian Amstutz, using a six point first period to vault his way to a win.

Walter Hagedorn also earned two wins on the day in the 125 weight class, wrestling unattached, with a 17-1 tech fall victory in his opening match of the day, as well as a major decision over Wabash’s Brayden Edwards.

Along with the four other Greyhounds mentioned, nine others picked up one win on the day for UIndy; Jadon Gyan (125), Bryan Chavero (141), Josiah Dedeaux (141), Bence Szilagyi (149), Phineas Merrill (157), Kaden Lone (165), Mason Day (unattached 174), Van Skinner (197) and John Petersen (unattached 285).

UP NEXT

With the Greyhound Open marking the conclusion of the regular season for UIndy, the Hounds will now head to the GLVC Championships on Sunday Feb. 15, looking to best its finish from just a season ago.
