GEORGIA UP TO NO. 4 IN AP POLL, SOONERS BACK IN TOP 10 AND MEAN GREEN ARE RANKED 1ST TIME SINCE 1959
Georgia moved up one spot to No. 4 in The Associated Press poll Sunday, Oklahoma returned to the top 10 and North Texas, ranked for the first time since 1959, is among three Group of Five teams in the Top 25.
Ohio State, Indiana and Texas A&M were the top three teams for the fifth straight week. Georgia earned its highest ranking since the first week of September and Mississippi was back in the top five after spending three weeks there at midseason.
Oregon and Texas Tech were tied for No. 6, and Oklahoma rose three spots to No. 8 following its win at Alabama. The Sooners were last in the top 10, at No. 6, the second week of October.
Notre Dame remained No. 9 after a 22-point win at Pittsburgh and Alabama dropped six spots to No. 10 after the Sooners ended its eight-game win streak.
Ohio State, which rolled past UCLA to improve to 10-0 for the fourth time in seven seasons, received 57 of 66 first-place votes. Indiana, which beat Wisconsin to go 11-0 for the first time, got eight first-place votes. Texas A&M, whose comeback from a 27-point deficit to beat South Carolina was its largest ever, got one first-place vote, three less than last week.
Georgia’s 35-10 win over Texas was its sixth straight and second over a top-10 opponent. Mississippi, which lost at Georgia a month ago, defeated Florida and is more than 100 points behind the Bulldogs at No. 5.
The Group of Five hadn’t had three teams in the Top 25 since four appeared in last season’s final poll.
The Sun Belt Conference’s James Madison blew out Appalachian State and moved up three spots to No. 21. North Texas is next at No. 22. The Mean Green of the American Conference clobbered UAB 53-24 on the road and have matched their best start in program history.
The last time UNT was 9-1 was in 1959, when the team then known as the Eagles was ranked two straight weeks in November, reaching No. 16. That team lost to New Mexico State in the Sun Bowl to finish 9-2. This year’s UNT team already is eligible for a second straight bowl game and is in the thick of the race for the Group of Five’s automatic CFP bid.
In and out
— No. 22 North Texas’ first appearance in the poll in 66 years ends the longest drought by a Bowl Subdivision team.
— No. 23 Missouri returned after a one-week absence following a win over Mississippi State in which Ahmad Hardy became the first player since 2022 to rush for 300 yards.
— No. 24 Tulane has won two straight since losing to UTSA and is ranked for the first time this season.
— No. 25 Houston, fifth among teams also receiving votes last week and idle, were ranked for one week in October.
Louisville (19), Cincinnati (22), Pittsburgh (23) and South Florida (25) dropped out.
Poll points
— Voters did what the CFP selection committee did last week, jumping Miami over Georgia Tech to make the Hurricanes the highest-ranked Atlantic Coast Conference team. Miami easily beat North Carolina State and moved up two spots to No. 14. Georgia Tech, which needed a field goal in the final seconds to edge one-win Boston College, slipped a spot to No. 15.
— No. 13 Utah has outscored three opponents by a combined 153-49 since losing at BYU and has its highest ranking of the season.
— No. 17 Texas took the biggest plunge, dropping seven spots.
Conference call
SEC (9): Nos. 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 12, 17, 20, 23.
Big Ten (5): Nos. 1, 2, T-6, 16, 18.
Big 12 (4): Nos. T-6, 11, 13, 25.
ACC (3): Nos. 14, 15, 19.
American (2): Nos. 22, 24.
Sun Belt (1): No. 21.
Independent (1): No. 9.
Ranked vs. ranked
No. 16 Southern California (8-2, 6-1 Big Ten, No. 17 CFP) at No. 6 Oregon (9-1, 6-1, No. 8 CFP): Winner strengthens its position for a CFP at-large bid and keeps alive slim hopes of sneaking into the Big Ten championship game.
No. 23 Missouri (7-3, 3-3 SEC) at No. 8 Oklahoma (8-2, 4-2, No. 11 CFP): Sooners did wonders for their playoff resume by knocking off Alabama on the road and now go for a fifth win over a Top 25 opponent.
TENNESSEE’S BOO CARTER NO LONGER ON TEAM, ENTERS TRANSFER PORTAL
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Defensive back Boo Carter no longer is on No. 20 Tennessee’s roster after not being at Neyland Stadium for the Volunteers’ last game.
A Tennessee spokesman confirmed Sunday that Carter is no longer on the program. Asked if Carter was at the Vols’ win Saturday over New Mexico Stat e, coach Josh Heupel was brief.
“At the end of the day, there’s a standard you’ve got to meet to be in that locker room and so he was not out on the field with us,” Heupel said. “That’ll be my last response to anything related to that for right now.”
Carter had to work his way back onto the field to start preseason practice after reportedly missing workouts this summer. He made the Southeastern Conference All-Freshman team for starting five of 13 games. He ranked sixth with 38 tackles, including 28 solo. He also led the SEC averaging 16.5 yards per punt return.
He played in nine games this season and led Tennessee returning 11 punt returns for 145 yards with a 13.1-yard average. He also had one sack, 25 tackles, broke up three passes and forced three fumbles.
Carter thanked Tennessee fans, coaches and administrators on social media Sunday afternoon.
“Unfortunately my season has been cut short due to injury,” Carter wrote. “I have decided to enter the transfer portal and I am excited about the opportunities going forward!”
Tennessee (7-3, 3-3 Southeastern Conference) visits Florida (3-7, 2-5) on Saturday. The Vols have been without preseason All-American defensive back Jermod McCoy all season as he recovers from an ACL torn in January while Rickey Gibson III hasn’t played since the season opener.

NFL NEWS
NFL ROUNDUP: STREAKING BRONCOS EDGE CHIEFS ON GAME-ENDING FG
Wil Lutz kicked a 35-yard field goal as time expired, and the host Denver Broncos beat the Kansas City Chiefs 22-19 on Sunday for their eighth straight win.
Denver (9-2), which overcame 147 yards on 10 penalties, leads the AFC West by two games over the Los Angeles Chargers and 3 1/2 over Kansas City (5-5), which has lost two straight.
The game was tied at 19 when the Broncos drove from their 26 to the Chiefs’ 15 before Bo Nix took a knee to set up Lutz’s fifth field goal of the day. Nix, who was 24-for-37 passing for 295 yards, completed two third-down passes to Courtland Sutton and a 32-yarder to Troy Franklin on the drive.
Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes was 29-for-45 passing for 276 yards, a touchdown and an interception. Kareem Hunt ran for a score and Travis Kelce had nine catches for 91 yards and a TD.
Ravens 23, Browns 16
Tight end Mark Andrews scored on a 35-yard run on fourth-and-1 late in the fourth quarter — the first rushing touchdown of his career — to lift Baltimore past host Cleveland Browns on Sunday.
Lamar Jackson completed 14 of 25 passes for 193 yards and two interceptions as the Ravens (5-5) earned their fourth straight win.
Quarterback Shedeur Sanders made his NFL debut for the Browns (2-8), playing the entire second half after Cleveland starter and fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel went out with a concussion. Sanders, a fifth-round draft pick out of Colorado and the son of Hall of Famer and current Colorado coach Deion Sanders, completed four of 16 passes for 47 yards and an interception. He also compiled 16 rushing yards on three carries and fumbled once, which Cleveland recovered.
Dolphins 16, Commanders 13 (OT)
Riley Patterson’s 29-yard field goal with 7:33 remaining in overtime lifted Miami to a victory over Washington in the NFL’s first regular-season game in Madrid, Spain.
The winning score was set up when Jack Jones intercepted Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota on the first play of the extra period and returned it to the Washington’s 33-yard line. De’Von Achane, who led the Dolphins (4-7) with 120 rushing yards on 21 carries and 165 all-purpose yards, got Miami 22 yards closer on three carries to set up Patterson’s game-winner.
Mariota, who made his second consecutive start for the Commanders for an injured Jayden Daniels (elbow), completed 20 of 30 passes for 213 yards and one touchdown, but his lone interception set Washington (3-8) on the path to its sixth consecutive defeat.
Packers 27, Giants 20
Jordan Love threw for two touchdowns and Christian Watson caught a pair of scores as Green Bay defeated New York in East Rutherford, N.J., stopping a two-game losing streak.
Green Bay (6-3-1) overcame multiple injuries and a string of special teams miscues to win for the first time since Oct. 26. Love connected with Watson for the go-ahead TD with 4:02 left in the game.
Devin Singletary ran for two touchdowns and Jameis Winston rushed for another score, but it wasn’t enough as the Giants (2-9) lost their fifth straight, and first under interim coach Mike Kafka.
Panthers 30, Falcons 27 (OT)
Ryan Fitzgerald drilled a game-winning 28-yard field goal with 5:10 left in overtime to help visiting Carolina rally for a victory over Atlanta.
Bryce Young threw for a career-high 448 yards and passed for three touchdowns for Carolina (6-5), which trailed by 14 points in the first half. Tetairoa McMillan had 130 receiving yards and two scores for the Panthers, who swept the season series for the first time since 2013.
Michael Penix Jr. threw for 175 yards before exiting in the third quarter with a knee injury. Kirk Cousins threw for 48 yards in relief for Atlanta (3-7), which dropped its fifth straight. Drake London had 119 receiving yards and Bijan Robinson totaled 104 rushing yards and two scores for the reeling Falcons.
Texans 16, Titans 13
Matthew Wright kicked a 35-yard field goal as time expired to give Houston the victory over Tennessee in Nashville.
Wright also knocked in field goals of 41 and 43 yards as he filled in for the injured Ka’imi Fairbairn for the second straight week. Davis Mills, who was replacing an injured Texans starter as well (CJ Stroud), went 26 of 41 for 274 yards. His 3-yard toss to Nico Collins midway through the third quarter was the only touchdown of the day for Houston (5-5).
Joey Slye was also able to show off his leg, kicking field goals of 56 and 47 yards for the Titans (1-9). Cam Ward went 24 of 37 for 194 yards, throwing a 4-yard strike to Van Jefferson.
Steelers 34, Bengals 12
Kyle Dugger returned an interception 73 yards for a touchdown and Mason Rudolph relieved the injured Aaron Rodgers as Pittsburgh defeated visiting Cincinnati.
The Steelers scored a pair of defensive touchdowns, sealing the game on James Pierre’s 34-yard fumble return with 3:22 left in the fourth quarter, to avenge their 33-31 loss to Cincinnati on Oct. 16. Rudolph completed 12 of 16 passes for 127 yards and one touchdown for Pittsburgh (6-4). Rodgers completed 9 of 15 passes for 116 yards and a touchdown before his left hand was injured late in the first half.
Joe Flacco finished 23 of 40 for 199 yards, one touchdown and one interception for the Bengals (3-7), who lost for the seventh time in eight games.
Bears 19, Vikings 17
Cairo Santos drilled a 48-yard field goal as time expired, and Chicago escaped with a win over Minnesota in Minneapolis.
Santos knocked in three other field goals on the day to help the Bears (7-3) win their third straight game. Kyle Monangai contributed Chicago’s only touchdown with a 1-yard scamper in the second quarter, while Devin Duvernay set up Santos’ winner with a 56-yard kickoff return within the final minute.
JJ McCarthy completed 16 of 32 passes for 150 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions for the Vikings (4-6). Jordan Addison hauled in a 15-yard touchdown reception that put Minnesota up one with 50 seconds left, while Jordan Mason scored on a 16-yard fourth-quarter run.
Jaguars 35, Chargers 6
Trevor Lawrence directed five touchdown drives and Travis Etienne ran for a pair of TDs as Jacksonville rolled to a rout of visiting Los Angeles, whose offense was rarely on the field.
Lawrence completed 14 of 22 passes for 153 yards before exiting in the fourth as the Jaguars (6-4) posted their most lopsided win this season after dropping three of their previous four. He helped Jacksonville hold possession for 37:55, including nearly 16 1/2 minutes on two drives that turned a 14-6 halftime lead into a rout and helped the Jags finish with a season-high 30 first downs.
Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert completed 10 of 18 passes for a career-low 81 yards and was lifted for Trey Lance in the fourth quarter. Los Angeles (7-4) saw a three-game winning streak halted, finishing with eight first downs and 135 yards of total offense.

BIG-GAME RESULTS DIDN’T REVEAL MUCH THAT WASN’T OBVIOUS OVER THE FIRST 10 WEEKS OF THE NFL SEASON
A loaded NFL schedule produced results that didn’t reveal much that wasn’t already known.
These are not the same Kansas City Chiefs who’ve owned the AFC West for nine seasons. Their struggles over the first nine games showed up again in a 22-19 loss at Denver.
The Buffalo Bills will go as far as Josh Allen takes them — as usual. His six touchdowns made up for two picks in a 44-32 win over Tampa Bay.
The Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks are even teams with two of the best defenses in the NFL. The Rams took a one-game lead over Seattle in the NFC West after holding on for a 21-19 victory when Jason Myers missed a 61-yard field goal try as time expired.
The reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles are still the team to beat in the NFC, even if their offense is underachieving. Vic Fangio’s defense has been dominant against dynamic offenses, including a 16-9 victory over the Lions.
Detroit is going to live and die with coach Dan Campbell’s aggressive play-calling. When it works, the Lions are unstoppable. When it doesn’t, they have a tough time.
Chiefs vs. Broncos
Kansas City’s reign of dominance in the division is over. The Chiefs (5-5) will have to battle just to make the playoffs and they have a tough matchup next week against the Indianapolis Colts (8-2). A poor offensive line isn’t helping Patrick Mahomes, who threw one costly interception in field-goal range after a pick-6 was negated by a penalty. The offense isn’t making enough plays to win one-score games, going 0-5 this season. Still, the Chiefs will be considered a dangerous team in the playoffs, if they get in. They won twice on the road on their way to a second consecutive Super Bowl title two years ago.
Meanwhile, the Broncos (9-2) have won eight straight games but still look beatable. Six of those wins have been by four points or fewer, including five fourth-quarter comebacks. Denver’s last three wins have come by a three-point margin. The Broncos beat the Giants by one and the Jets by two. Bo Nix is making big plays in the fourth quarter and a dominant defense keeps the team in games. But it’s going to be hard to sustain success with an inconsistent offense that has to rally each week.
Buccaneers vs. Bills
The Bills (7-3) are chasing the New England Patriots (9-2) in the AFC East. But they can beat anyone when Allen plays the way he did against Tampa Bay. The reigning NFL MVP overcame a poor interception on the first drive to finish with 317 yards passing with three TDs in the air and three TDs rushing. Buffalo has a tougher schedule than New England with upcoming road games against Houston (5-5) on Thursday night and Pittsburgh (6-4) on Nov. 30. But like the Chiefs, the Bills are a team nobody wants to face in January.
The Buccaneers (6-4) still look like a team that’s good enough to win a weak NFC South but won’t go anywhere in the playoffs. Their defense has been a problem against top teams since 2021.
Seahawks vs. Rams
Sam Darnold struggled in another big game, throwing four interceptions. His fantastic turnaround season in Minnesota last year ended with clunkers in back-to-back important games.
However, Seattle’s defense kept the team in the game and Darnold drove the Seahawks (7-3) into position for what would’ve been a remarkable comeback victory if Myers could’ve hit the long field goal. He has to play better start to finish in playoff-type games.
The Rams (8-2) couldn’t do anything on offense in this battle between two of the league’s best defenses. The defense baffled Darnold and two of the four picks turned into touchdowns on drives of 3 yards and 25 yards.
The teams will meet again on Thursday night in Week 16 in a matchup that will likely determine the division winner.
Lions vs. Eagles
Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley and A.J. Brown still can’t get going but the Eagles relied on an elite defense to fluster Jared Goff and the Lions. After surrendering just one score to Green Bay in a 10-7 win on Monday night, they held Detroit to three field goals.
The Eagles (8-2) are the NFC’s No. 1 seed and keep finding ways to win games. They’ll need more production from the offense to have a chance to repeat but the defense has been getting better each week since shutting down Mahomes and the Chiefs in the Super Bowl.
Detroit was 0-for-5 on fourth down, including a fake punt. The Lions (6-4) fell one game behind the surging Chicago Bears in the NFC North. But the Lions are more talented. The two teams meet in Chicago in Week 18.
Eleven weeks into the season, it’s a wide-open race in both conferences.

Gafford, limited thus far in 2025-26 by an ankle injury, delivered a season-high 20 points, including four in the final seconds of the extra period. Cooper Flagg and P.J. Washington led the Mavericks with 21 points apiece. Brandon Williams and Max Christie added 15 and 14 points, respectively.
Shaedon Sharpe’s inability to score in the final minute and a half came at an inopportune time on an otherwise outstanding night for the Blazers guard. He scored a season-high 36 points, just one shy of matching his career best, and dished six assists. Sharpe was left shouldering the load after Deni Avdija, Portland’s season-long leading scorer, fouled out. Avdija finished with 29 points, seven assists and six rebounds.
Rockets 117, Magic 113 (OT)
Kevin Durant scored a game-high 35 points, Alperen Sengun added a 30-point double-double, and host Houston claimed an overtime victory over Orlando.
Reed Sheppard (16 points off the bench) and Amen Thompson (12 points, 10 rebounds) converted four free throws to seal the victory. Sengun posted 30 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists. Sengun, Thompson, Steven Adams (13 rebounds), and Jabari Smith Jr. (10 points, 10 rebounds) all recorded double-digit rebounds for the Rockets, who produced a 60-38 advantage on the glass.
Franz Wagner led the Magic with 29 points while Desmond Bane added 26. Orlando played without starters Paolo Banchero and Jalen Suggs, both of whom were out with groin injuries.
Celtics 121, Clippers 118
Jaylen Brown scored 33 points and Payton Pritchard finished with 30 as Boston led by as many as 24 points before hanging on to hand visiting Los Angeles its seventh loss in eight games.
Pritchard made 8 of 13 shots from 3-point territory. Derrick White added 22 points, seven rebounds and nine assists for the Celtics, who have won three of their last four.
After trailing all game, the Clippers cut their deficit to 119-118 after James Harden made a 3-pointer with 2.6 seconds to play. After two Pritchard free throws pushed the lead to three, Harden missed a game-tying 3-point attempt at the buzzer.
Nets 129, Wizards 106
Michael Porter Jr. scored a season-high 34 points and Tyrese Martin added a campaign-best 20 off the bench, lifting visiting Brooklyn to victory over reeling Washington.
Porter’s scoring outburst was backed up by a strong shooting night, as he canned 11 of 18 jumpers and 9 of 10 on free throws. He also chipped in nine rebounds and seven assists, while Nic Claxton joined in with 17 points, eight rebounds, seven assists and four blocks to help the Nets snap a four-game skid.
Kyshawn George led the way for the Wizards with 29 points and five 3-pointers. CJ McCollum also had 17 points, but Washington couldn’t avoid its 11th straight loss.
Warriors 124, Pelicans 106
Moses Moody buried a franchise record-tying seven 3-pointers in the first quarter en route to a career-high 32 points, and Golden State thumped host New Orleans in James Borrego’s debut as interim coach.
Moody shot 7-for-8 from deep in the opening period and finished 8-for-12 on threes and 10-for-16 overall. Teammate Stephen Curry, who did not record a basket until the third quarter, was harassed into just nine points on 2-of-11 shooting. Yet the Warriors still won their third straight as they continue a six-game trip.
Playing for the first time since Willie Green was fired as coach Saturday, the Pelicans were paced by Trey Murphy III’s 20 points and Jose Alvarado’s 18.
Hawks 124, Suns 122
Nickeil Alexander-Walker scored 16 of his 26 points in the fourth quarter, Jalen Johnson had 25 points and 10 rebounds, and Atlanta overcame a 22-point fourth-quarter deficit to win in Phoenix.
Onyeka Okongwu had 27 points and Dyson Daniels added 11 points and 12 assists for the Hawks, who ran their winning streak to five and completed a sweep of a four-game western road trip. Dillon Brooks had 34 points and Devin Booker added 27 for the Suns, who had a five-game winning streak broken.
Down 21 with 8:33 to play, the Hawks went on a 20-0 run to close within 107-106 with 4:34 left. The Suns went back ahead by six but again could not hold on as Alexander-Walker’s layup gave Atlanta the lead with 54 seconds left and the Hawks made free throws down the stretch to hold on.

FIRST BASEMAN JOSH NAYLOR FINALIZING 5-YEAR CONTRACT WITH SEATTLE MARINERS, AP SOURCE SAYS
SEATTLE (AP) — First baseman Josh Naylor and the Seattle Mariners are finalizing a five-year contract, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press on Sunday.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team had not announced the contract. ESPN was the first to report the deal.
Naylor, 28, became a free agent for the first time shortly after the Mariners lost to the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 7 of the American League Championship Series. Soon after Seattle’s season ended, president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto stressed the importance of re-signing Naylor after acquiring him from the Arizona Diamondbacks and called it a priority to bring the first baseman back.
Manager Dan Wilson spoke highly of the impact Naylor had on the Mariners both on and off the field over his three months with the franchise.
“You need that intensity. You need that drive,” Wilson said. “I think his drive to win is incredible also. And that’s what you’re going to need from all your guys, and that’s a big part of what he brought to this club.”
In 54 games with the Mariners, Naylor hit .299 with nine home runs, 33 RBIs and 19 stolen bases. In 12 postseason games, Naylor hit .340 with three home runs, five RBIs and two stolen bases.
Over the entire season, Naylor hit .295 with 20 home runs, 92 RBIs and a career-high 30 stolen bases.

INDIANA MEN’S BASKETBALL NEWS
INDIANA PREVAILS IN 69-61 WIN OVER INCARNATE WORD
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Survival arrived Sunday night at Simon Skjodt Assemby Hall. So did Indiana’s 69-61 victory over Incarnate Word. That, said forward Tucker DeVries, was the big-picture key.
“They came in confident, played well and executed their game plan,” DeVries said. “On our end, they took us out of rhythm shooting. At the end of the day, it’s important to find ways to win when shots aren’t falling. I know it didn’t look pretty, but that’s part of growing. There’s a lot we can take away from this.”
Growth was finalized by four free throws by guard Lamar Wilkerson and one by forward Sam Alexis in the closing seconds that clinched the win and boosted the Hoosiers’ record to 4-0.
“That’s the learning opportunity,” coach Darian DeVries said. “It’s a 40-minute game. That’s something that we’ll certainly take advantage of.
“I like learning after wins. That’s much better, but there are a lot of positives. We’ll take it for what it is and learn from it and move on.”
Both teams couldn’t miss down the stretch. Incarnate Word (2-2) made five straight shots to IU’s 4-for-5. A double-digit Hoosier lead was cut to five.
“Credit to them,” Tucker DeVries said. “They hit some tough shots.”
Then IU forced an airball from the Cardinals’ Davion Bailey. The clinching free throws followed.
“At the end of the day,” Tucker DeVries said, “it’s finding a way to win once you get into those situations. I thought it was good for us to still pull out in the right way.”
That the Hoosiers did, Alexis said, reflected their experience.
“We are a whole bunch of seniors,” he said, “so we just put our heads together and went out there and played hard the last five, four minutes.”
Alexis was a catalyst. He came off the bench for 16 points, eight rebounds, and one assist.
“Without Sam, we don’t win,” Tucker DeVries said. “He was a beast down low. That’s probably where it starts.”
Added Darian DeVries: “Sam is playing great. He was one of the guys that really brought good energy, good physicality. There were about a handful of possessions in the second half where he switched on a guard and guarded about as well as anybody. He had a really good night.”
Alexis credited his four dunks to teammates such as Wilkerson and Tucker DeVries hitting three-pointers to open up the paint.
“When you’ve got guys like Lamar and Tuck, other guys that can shoot it so well, it gives me opportunities to just slip and get easy wide-open dunks. I’m thankful for those guys who can make 3s.”
Tucker DeVries had 14 points, five rebounds, and three assists. Freshman forward Trent Sisley had 10 points and eight rebounds.
The 3-point shot, a staple in the first three games, brought frustration Sunday night. The Hoosiers, who came in hitting at a 48-percent 3-point clip, were just 2-for-11 beyond the arc in the second half, and finished 5-for-24 for the game.
Problems surfaced in the first half as Incarnate Word went from a 1-3-1 zone to a 2-3 zone to man defense. IU shot 43 percent overall and 23 percent beyond the arc in the opening 20 minutes. That it still led 35-19 at halftime reflected stifling defense that held Incarnate World to 21 percent shooting and forced five turnovers.
“We have good shooters,” Darian DeVries said. “We’re built to make threes, so on a night where we don’t shoot it well, you got find way a way to win. I’m glad we were able to do that.
“There is plenty to look at as to why it happened, but the reality is you’re going to have off shooting nights. It’s going to happen.
“That’s where you’ve got to rely on your defense and rebounding and taking care of the ball. I thought the first half the reason our lead built up even though we weren’t shooting it well was our defense was really good.”
IU opened the scoring with a Reed Bailey dunk off a Tayton Conerway assist and scored five early points off two Incarnate Word turnovers, but still trailed 8-7 after five minutes.
Wilkerson’s fast-break layup off a Tucker DeVries pass pushed the Hoosiers ahead 11-10. An Alexis rebound and dunk, and then another Alexis dunk off a Conerway assist, and then a Conerway basket off his own miss, gave IU a 17-12 lead.
A third Alexis dunk, a Tucker DeVries 3-pointer and a Sisley bank-it-in-from-the-corner 3-pointer highlighted a 20-2 run and a 31-14 score with five minutes left in the half.
IU ended the half ahead 35-19 and it would have been better if not for making just one of its last eight shots. Alexis led with 13 points. Conerway had five assists.
A couple of Bailey layups to start the second half was negated by some by the Cardinals, who cut the lead to 13 after five minutes.
A Sisley 3-pointer restored the 16-point separation. IU followed by forcing a shot-clock violation, then adding a pair of Conerway free throws, then two more by Tucker DeVries. The lead grew to 19, then shrunk to 12 with 8:35 left, then 11 with seven minutes remaining, then eight, then six.
A Conerway lob for an Alexis dunk gave IU a 57-48 lead. Conerway drove for a layup. Tucker DeVries hit a jumper in the paint, and then a 3-pointer to restore the double-digit lead.
The Cardinals cut it to five at 64-59. Wilkerson hit two free throws with 24.3 seconds left. Alexis added one with 13 seconds left. Wilkerson added two more to seal the victory.
“Energy is something we have to play with,” Darian DeVries said. “We’ve got to be a very spirited, physical, tough-minded group for 40 minutes every night. That’s how we’re going to win.”

INDIANA WOMEN’S BASKETBALL
TEAM EFFORT LEADS INDIANA PAST FLORIDA STATE
TALLAHASSEE – Redshirt sophomore guard Lenée Beaumont scored a career-high 23 points to go with 22 points from senior guard Shay Ciezki as Indiana outlasted Florida State, 76-72 at Donald L, Tucker Center on Sunday evening.
KEY MOMENTS
Indiana (4-0) got off to a 7-0 start that turned into an 11-2 lead with 5:03 to go in the first quarter. The Seminoles made a push late in the period, putting up back-to-back 3-pointers to come within two, 13-11.
But Ciezki and Socka-Nguemen combined to back-to-back buckets for IU who led 17-12 at the end of one. The lead grew to six on a redshirt sophomore guard Lenée Beaumont 3-pointer, 22-16.
It was then that FSU (3-2) added a 6-0 run to tie the game up at 22-all with 5:22 to go before the half. Beaumont kept the lead with Indiana with five-straight points but were matched with another Florida State run to knot the game at 29-29.
Socka-Nguemen’s and-1 with 1:12 was the difference at half, with Indiana holding a 31-29 edge. To open the third, Indiana pushed its lead to five off a second-chance opportunity from Valentyna Kadlecova. But the rest of the third belonged to the Seminoles, who got 12 points from senior guard Jasmine Shaver and a 56-50 lead.
Indiana’s fourth-quarter comeback was mounted by a 9-0 run with five points from Ciezki with 7:08 to go. It was one of three ties and three lead changes in the final 10 minutes. Facing a one-point deficit, Beaumont would give IU its lead back for good on a floater just outside the paint with 5:43 to go.
In the final push, FSU came within two with 1:33 to go but a Socka-Nguemen putback and a drive to the rim from senior guard Jerni Kiaku kept Indiana up four with just 15 seconds remaining.
NOTABLE
Beaumont set a new career-high 23 points and went 8-for-12 from the floor and a perfect 3-for-3 from beyond the arc. She also had five rebounds and was a perfect 4-for-4 from the line.
Socka-Nguemen had her third double-double of the season with 11 points and a team-high 13 rebounds while adding two assists and a steal.
Ciezki also finished the night with her third 20-point game of the season with 22 points, three assists and three rebounds.
Indiana head coach Teri Moren secured her 250th win as Indiana’s head coach. The 12th year leader is already the program’s all-time wins leader (set in 2023).
Junior forward Edessa Noyan had a season-high eight points and hit her first 3-pointer in an IU uniform.
The Hoosiers limited Florida State to just two 3-pointers on the night, holding them nine under their average of 11.3 per game.

Indiana returns to Bloomington to host in-state opponent Butler on Wednesday night at 7 p.m. ET.

INDIANA VOLLEYBALL NEWS
HOOSIERS HIT AT RECORD CLIP IN SUNDAY SWEEP
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – There was no shortage of offense on Sunday (Nov. 16) afternoon at Wilkinson. Indiana’s potent attack hit at a record clip as it swept visiting Maryland in straight sets (25-23, 25-22, 25-14). The Hoosiers (21-5, 12-4 B1G) recorded 51 kills in just three sets with a hitting percentage of .456. All five primary attackers had at least five kills as the program picked up its 21st win of the season.
From the jump, IU’s offense scored in every fashion it wanted. Freshman setter Teodora Kričković directed a fantastic game plan against Maryland’s block. She recorded 42 assists (14.00 per set) and set the Hoosiers to a hitting percentage of .456. (54-7-103). IU’s hitting efficiency was the highest in a Big Ten match since 1991 and the best in any conference match since the beginning of the rally-scoring era (since 2001).
IU committed just seven attacking errors in the entire match but hit at a .607 clip in the third set with 17 kills and zero errors. The seven hitting errors are the fewest in a Big Ten match since volleyball began the 25-point rally-scoring era in 2008. It’s the first time IU has hit above .450 in a contest since Aug. 26, 2003 (.500 – vs. Radford).
Freshman outside hitter Jaidyn Jager continued her tear on the conference with a match-high 16 kills at a .542 hitting percentage. Senior outside hitter Candela Alonso-Corcelles provided 14 kills in the win. In seven career matches against Maryland, she reached double-digit kills each time. Senior opposite hitter Avry Tatum added 10 kills at a .360 clip.
Freshman middle blocker Victoria Gray had an outstanding offensive weekend for the Hoosiers. In two wins, she had 14 kills with zero errors. She hit .636 and also provided six blocks in the pair of victories. Senior middle blocker Madi Sell added five kills and three blocks in Sunday’s win.
The victory over Maryland helped IU match single-season program records for regular season wins (21) and Big Ten wins – since the NCAA adopted volleyball in 1981. On Thursday (Nov. 20) against Rutgers, IU will look to break the single-season program Big Ten wins record.
How it Happened
• Offense was the name of the game for the Hoosiers on Sunday. IU broke a rally-era single-game hitting percentage record (.456) for a Big Ten contest. It did so with 54 kills across the three sets. All five primary attackers had five-or-more kills.
• The Hoosiers got a great passing performance from the team on Sunday. IU sided out at over 75 percent in sets one and three. In game three alone, the team hit .607 with 17 kills and zero errors. It racked up five aces and four blocks to help its offensive cause in the victory.
Top Hoosier Performers
#10 Kričković, Teodora
42 assists, 3 digs, 2 kills
#3 Alonso-Corcelles, Candela
14 kills, .429 hitting percentage, 3 blocks, 4 digs, 2 aces, 2 assists
#24 Jager, Jaidyn
16 kills, .542 hitting percentage, 6 digs, 1 block
Notes to Know
• IU’s offense hit at a record clip on Sunday afternoon. Its .456 hitting percentage is the highest in any of its Big Ten matches since the beginning of the rally-scoring era (2001). In program history it’s the eighth best single-game mark and the best in any Big Ten game since Nov. 2, 1991 (.489 – vs. Michigan State).
• With a win on Sunday, IU matched single-season program records for regular season wins (21) and Big Ten wins (12). It has been 30 years (1995) since the Hoosiers last won 12 conference matches in a season. IU has four opportunities left for the chance to break the all-time single-season mark.
• Senior outside hitter Candela Alonso-Corcelles, senior opposite hitter Avry Tatum, junior setter Luca Fickell and junior middle blocker Ava Vickers made history in the win. Those four players are the only Hoosiers in program history to experience two 21-win seasons – since the NCAA started sponsoring volleyball in 1981.
• Since the beginning of 2022, IU is now 37-14 (.725) inside Wilkinson Hall. The Hoosiers have now won 21-straight contests against unranked opponents inside the home gym. IU is just one win away from recording at least 10 home wins in three-straight seasons for the first time since 1998-2000.
• IU is now 10-2 this season, and 24-8 since 2023, when senior outside hitter Candela Alonso-Corcelles and senior opposite hitter Avry Tatum each record 10-or-more kills in a match. The Hoosiers are also 10-2 this season when three different players provide double-digit kills.
• Freshman outside hitter Jaidyn Jager provided 16 kills on just 24 swings against Maryland. She’s the first IU player since Kaley Rammelsberg (16-2-23 vs. Georgia Tech – Sept. 10, 2021) to go for at least 16 kills on fewer than 25 swings against a Power Four opponent.
• Senior outside hitter Candela Alonso-Corcelles helped IU to the 40th Big Ten win of her career and the 73rd overall victory of her tenure. She’s now one win away from tying the program’s all-time wins record and two away from setting the new standard in Bloomington.
ILLINOIS MATCHED FLEXED TO BIG TEN NETWORK
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The Indiana volleyball team will feature in a nationally-televised doubleheader on the Big Ten Network as the regular season comes to a close. IU’s contest at Illinois on Wednesday, November 26th was picked up as a wildcard selection. It will pit the two longtime rivals against each other at 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT from Huff Hall in Champaign.
The Hoosiers are enjoying one of the best seasons in program history in 2025. Following weekend victories over Oregon and Maryland, head coach Steve Aird has his group at 21-5 (12-4 B1G) heading into the final two weeks of the regular season. IU has matched single-season program records for both regular season wins (21) and Big Ten wins (12) with four conference fixtures to spare.
IU’s game in Champaign will be a chance to break one of its longest road losing streaks to a single Big Ten opponent. The Hoosiers haven’t won at Huff Hall since 2007 and have dropped 15-straight contests at the home of the Fighting Illini. IU’s best opportunity came in 2023 where it fell in five sets (10-15) to Illinois.
The night before Thanksgiving will be the sixth time this year that IU is featured in a nationally-televised contest. IU is 3-2 this year in games played on the Big Ten Network – winning both road contests (at Northwestern, at #19 Penn State) in that group. IU’s regular season finale comes at top-15 Purdue on Saturday, November 29th.

NOTRE DAME MEN’S BASKETBALL
IRISH DROP 63-64 HEARTBREAKER AT OHIO STATE
COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Notre Dame men’s basketball team will learn from this one, but endured a 63-64 heartbreaker on Sunday afternoon at Ohio State. The Fighting Irish led by as much as 11 points in the first half and imposed their will early in front of over 12,000 raucous Buckeye fans.
However, missed layups and foul calls ultimately hurt the Blue & Gold, who played solid defense for a majority of the matchup, limiting a hot-shooting OSU squad to 64 points, 31 below their early-season average.
The Irish were up one after a Shrewsberry jumper made it 63-62 with two minutes left. After, the Irish had two opportunities to extend the lead, or take the lead at the buzzer, but just couldn’t convert.
Carson Towt recorded eight points and 12 rebounds on Sunday, making it four double-digit rebounds to start the season. That’s the best double-digit rebounding start since at least 1996.
Jalen Haralson secured his second straight game in double figures with 13 points. The freshman also had a team-high three assists and team team-best two steals.
Breaden Shrewsberry scored eight of his 11 total points in the second half, converting 4-7 from the field and 2-3 from three. Markus Burton earned a team-high 14 points behind an 8-9 performance from the free-throw line.
HOW IT HAPPENED
Garrett Sundra scored the first five points for the Irish, but it was an early 8-0 run, which earned some separation at the first media timeout at 14:10 with ND up 11-6. Sundra, Mohammed, Towt and Burton all contributed during the scoring spree.
Notre Dame extended the hot hand to a 7-8 shooting stretch, while the defense stepped up and limited Ohio State to a 1-8 stretch. By 10:24, six different Irish had scored, building a 19-10
While the Irish were 10-12 from the floor over the nine-minute stretch, the Buckeyes went on a run of their own as an 8-0 run closed the gap to three at 23-20. Turnovers plagued the Irish, committing four over a 3.5 minute stretch which spurred the Buckeyes charge.
For over a two-minute timeframe starting at 5:09, both teams were being sent to the free-throw as Notre Dame maintained a small lead, 28-24. The Buckeyes fired off a short 5-0 spurt to end the half, but Notre Dame maintained the lead, up 34-31.
The Irish shot 14-24 (.583) with 24 of their points coming in the paint. Compare that to Ohio State’s 9-25 (.360) from the field and their eight paint points. The Irish led by as much as 11 twice, but nine turnovers coupled with eight fouls (OSU was 9-9 from free-throw line) allowed the Buckeyes to stick around.
Each side had one player in double figures at the half: Jalen Haralson had 10 points for Notre Dame while Bruce Thornton had 11 for Ohio State.
At 17:30 in the second half, Braeden Shrewsberry converted the team’s second three of the game, and a possession later, Burton converted an and-one, to give the Irish an early surge up 42-34. Then, after a Bruce Thornton triple, Sir Mohammed responded with a tough take in the paint to make it 44-37 at 15:53.
From that point on, the Irish had just one field goal on 1-5 shooting as Ohio State’s 7-2 run brought it within two at 46-44 heading into the 11:47 media timeout.
Next, the Buckeyes knocked down a pair of free throws coming out of the timeout to tie it up at 46-all, claiming the lead for the first time since 15:23 in the first half. Soon after, a Shrewsberry triple ended the team’s cold shooting drought, which was promptly followed by a Towt slam on the fastbreak. A pair of Burton free throws then tied the game at 53-all at the 7:58 media.
The momentum continued to swing back and forth as OSU went up 59-53, their largest of the game. Then the Irish responded with a 6-0 run, kick-started by a Haralson and-one, to tie it once more. OSU’s Thornton soon after converted his fourth triple (his 24th point of the match) to give the Buckeyes a 62-59 lead at the final media timeout (3:24 remaining).
Burton and Shrewsberry rallied the squad to a 63-62 lead, but just couldn’t convert on the final three possessions. OSU’s Tilly had the game-winner with 13 seconds left.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL BATTLES, BUT COMES UP SHORT AT WRIGHT STATE
DAYTON, Ohio – Despite facing a 16-point deficit after the first quarter, the University of Evansville women’s basketball team battled back against Wright State on Sunday, outscoring the Raiders over the final three quarters, but ultimately fell short by a score of 69-60.
Camryn Runner (Cicero, Ind./Hamilton Heights) led the Aces with 16 points, while Logan Luebbers Palmer (Union, Ky./Randall K. Cooper) scored in double figures for the third game in a row with a season-high 13. Freshman Georgia Ferguson (Waterloo, Ontario/Cairine Wilson Secondary School) added nine points for the highest scoring total of her young collegiate career.
Wright State got off to a hot start, opening up a 9-0 lead in the first 2:20 of action. Runner steadied things for the Aces, scoring her team’s first four points to make it 11-4, but the Raiders extended their lead to 16 at the end of the quarter.

A basket from Jelena Savic (Melbourne, Australia/Kurunjang Secondary College) and a transition three by Sydney Huber (Cedar Falls, Iowa/Mount Vernon) made it 48-34 and forced a Raiders timeout with 4:54 to go in the quarter.

VALPO MEN’S BASKETBALL NEWS
MEN’S BASKETBALL PULLS AWAY IN SECOND HALF TO STORM PAST BRYANT
The Valparaiso University men’s basketball team faced an eight-point halftime deficit, but an overwhelming second half that saw the Beacons outscore visiting Bryant 46-20 led to a 68-50 win over an NCAA Tournament team from last season. The Bulldogs are the tallest team in the country according to KenPom’s height factor, but Valpo was not deterred as freshman Rakim Chaney (Rockford, Ill. / Rockford Auburn [212° Sports Academy]) led four Beacons in double figures with 18 points, while Shon Tupuola (Brownsburg, Ind. / Brownsburg [Saint Mary-of-the-Woods]) enjoyed a double-double of 14 points and 11 boards.
How It Happened
Valpo tallied the game’s first five points including an early 3 by Chaney. The Beacons eventually climbed out to a 12-2 advantage when Tupuola notched a tip-in dunk at the 10:47 mark of the first half.
After being held to two points for 9:44, Bryant finally started scoring and tallied eight of the game’s next nine points to shrink the gap to three.
The Valpo lead got back to six at 19-13, but the Bulldogs reeled off the next six points to level the score.
An 8-0 run built up a 27-21 lead for Bryant, and the guests went into halftime in front 30-22. Valpo shot just 27 percent from the field, 33.3 percent from 3 and 38.5 percent from the free-throw line in the opening half.
Over the first nine minutes of the second half, Valpo outscored Bryant 19-4, quickly turning an eight-point deficit into a seven-point advantage thanks in part to Tupuola doing work inside.
A jumper by Chaney with 8:12 left created Valpo’s first double-figure lead, and the Beacons pushed the bulge to 15 when JT Pettigrew (Lisle, Ill. / Bolingbrook) tossed in a 3 with 5:53 on the clock. The cushion continued to grow from there.
Inside the Game
The 18-point margin of victory was Valpo’s largest against a Division-I opponent since beating Eastern Illinois by 28 on Nov. 24, 2024.
At 3-1, Valpo is off to its best four-game start to a season since 2019-20.
The Beacons are 3-0 at home for the first time since 2020-21.
Tupuola’s scoring and rebounding numbers marked personal peaks in a Valpo uniform. Total in his collegiate career, this marked his 37th double-figure scoring output and 40th double-figure rebounding game. He has scored in double-figures in back-to-back contests and squeezed seven boards or more in three straight.
Chaney has scored at least a dozen points in each of his four games this season including 18 or more in back-to-back contests and 15 or more in three straight. He collected a season-high eight rebounds on Sunday.
Chaney became only the fifth Valpo freshman since 2010 with 18 or more points and eight or more rebounds in a game, joining Cooper Schwieger, Sheldon Edwards, Alec Peters (three times) and Ryan Broekhoeff.
Chaney shot 6-of-11 from the field and 4-of-7 from 3 on Sunday, his second straight game with four made triples. This was the first time a Valpo freshman had at least 18 points, eight rebounds and four made 3s in a game since Alec Peters on Dec. 14, 2013 vs. Loyola Marymount.
Pettigrew, who has battled illness this week, matched a season high with 13 points including 6-of-6 at the stripe while gutting out 22 minutes. Owen Dease (Evansville, Ind. / Evansville Reitz [Texas A&M Corpus Christi]) had 10 points for his second straight double-figure output.
Freshman Carter Hopoi (Tauranga, New Zealand / Mount Maunganui College NZ]) recorded team highs in assists (four) and blocks (three), both personal bests as well.
After struggling at the foul line in the first half, the Beacons turned it around after the break, going 11-of-12 (91.7 percent) on freebies over the game’s final 20 minutes.
In the last eight seasons, this was just the fifth time Valpo held a Division-I opponent to 50 points or fewer and first since a 67-50 conference tournament win vs. UIC last season.
Bryant shot just 27.7 percent, Valpo’s best field-goal percentage defense against a Division-I opponent since holding Southern Illinois to 23.6 percent on Feb. 12, 2020.

Redshirt junior quarterback Rowan Keefe (Park Ridge, Ill. / Maine South) was named the league’s Offensive Player of the Week after engineering the game-tying touchdown drive in the final minute, while redshirt sophomore defensive back Nic Lendino (Naperville, Ill. / Neuqua Valley) achieved the league’s Special Teams Player of the Week award for a game-altering blocked punt.
Keefe led Valpo to the program’s biggest comeback on record, as the Beacons came from 24-0 down with under six minutes remaining in the third quarter to stun Stetson 32-31 in overtime on Saturday at Brown Field. He led a 95-yard touchdown drive to tie the game that started with Valpo taking over on its own 5-yard line, down eight with 49 seconds remaining.
Keefe threw the game-extending touchdown pass to Devin Yeats and the game-tying 2-point conversion pass to Colin Hayes to force overtime, then in the extra session he ran for a touchdown to bring Valpo to within 31-30 before throwing the game-winning 2-point conversion pass to Hayes. The Valpo QB finished 18-of-26 for 204 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions while also rushing for a TD and throwing for three 2-point conversions.

VALPO WOMEN’S BASKETBALL
BEACONS FALL IN OVERTIME TO MILWAUKEE
The Valpo women’s basketball team looked to be on the verge of its first victory of the season at the ARC Sunday afternoon against Milwaukee after Mikayla Huffine (Rockford, Ill./Rockford Lutheran [Quincy/Iowa Western C.C.]) hit a pair of free throws with 3.4 seconds to play to give the Beacons the lead, but the visiting Panthers split a pair of foul shots with 0.6 seconds remaining in regulation to send the game to overtime and came out 72-67 victors in the extra session.
How It Happened
Milwaukee pushed what was a three-point lead with 10 minutes to play to five twice in the fourth quarter, but both times Valpo responded — the second time by rattling off six straight points, capped by a floater from Autumn Dibb (Muskego, Wis./Muskego) to put the Beacons in front 53-52 with 4:20 to play.
The Panthers responded to regain the lead on their next possession and pushed their lead to three points twice in the final two minutes. Valpo came back immediately with a bucket both times, as first Mor Shabtai (Tel Aviv, Israel/Tichonet) and then Dibb answered, the latter making it a 59-58 Milwaukee lead with 41 seconds remaining.
The Beacons got a stop on the defensive end, and after taking a timeout to advance the ball, put the ball in the hands of Huffine. The senior put her head down, got fouled while shooting with 3.4 seconds to go and calmly connected on both to make it 60-59 Beacons.
After the Panthers advanced the ball with a timeout, the Beacons were called for a shooting foul with 0.6 seconds remaining. Grace Lomen knocked down the first to tie the game, but came up short on the second to send the game to overtime.
It took nearly half the extra period to knock the lid off the baskets, but after Milwaukee knocked down a 3-pointer to open the scoring, Shabtai responded with a triple of her own to tie things up at 63-63 with 2:18 to go in overtime.
The Panthers followed with a score on the ensuing possession to take the lead for good. Kylie Waytashek (Royalton, Minn./Royalton) converted a layup with 54 seconds remaining to make it a one-point game, but Milwaukee hit two free throws on its next trip and the Beacons missed a pair of chances near the rim as the Panthers closed it out.
Milwaukee opened the game on an 8-0 run over the first 3:34 of action before Valpo gave up just two points over a stretch of four-plus minutes to close back to a one-possession game. The Panthers led 14-10 at the end of the opening quarter.
Valpo’s defense recorded five straight stops to start the second quarter to help open the period on an 8-0 run, as Fiona Connolly (South Burlington, Vt./Brewster Academy [La Salle]) hit a 3-pointer and Shabtai scored five points to give Valpo an 18-14 lead with 7:17 to play in the half.
Milwaukee scored seven straight to regain the lead in a back-and-forth period which featured five lead changes and three ties. When the dust settled, a hook shot inside of 30 seconds remaining in the half from Milana Nenadic (Kitchener, Ontario/Cameron Heights [Idaho State/Maine]) had the Beacons in front 31-29 at halftime.
The third quarter was another back-and-forth stanza with five ties and five lead changes. Neither squad led by more than one possession over the final five minutes of the period, with Milwaukee eventually carrying a 48-45 lead into the fourth quarter.
Inside the Game
Sunday’s game was Valpo’s home opener — the Beacons will be away from home for their next four games, not returning home to the ARC until Dec. 7.
Valpo took Milwaukee to overtime after the last six meetings in the series had all been double-digit wins for the Panthers.
The Beacons have dropped each of their last four games to go to overtime — the program’s last overtime win came at Evansville in February 2022.
A balanced Beacon offense was led by a strong effort off the bench from Allia von Schlegell (Downers Grove, Ill./Nazareth). The freshman set season highs with 15 points, five rebounds and four assists. The MVC leader in 3-point percentage entering the game, von Schlegell hit 3-of-7 from deep on Sunday.
Valpo’s second-leading scorer also came off the bench, as Kamryn Winch (Bonne Terre, Mo./North County [Maryville]) recorded career bests with 12 points and 12 rebounds, securing her first collegiate double-double.
The Beacons’ bench outscored Milwaukee’s by a 36-16 count.
Shabtai scored in double figures for the first time in her collegiate career, finishing with 11 points to surpass her previous high of eight points — accomplished twice in the first three games this season.
Nenadic scored in double figures for the second straight game, rounding out the quartet of Beacons in double digits as she tallied 10 points.
Dibb notched seven points and seven rebounds, both season highs.
Valpo won the battle of the boards for the first time this season, 44-42.
The Beacons handed out a season-best 18 assists on 23 made baskets and had a positive assist/turnover ratio, committing just 17 turnovers. Valpo’s turnover total dropped for the third straight game.
Next Up
Valpo (0-4) returns to the road Friday night, as the Beacons trek to Vermillion, S.D. to play at South Dakota at 7 p.m.
