MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL PLAYOFFS

MARINERS QUIET BLUE JAYS’ BATS, TAKE ALCS GAME 1

TORONTO — Fatigue was not a factor Sunday night for the Seattle Mariners, who show no signs of getting tired of winning.

Bryce Miller pitched six strong innings on three days’ rest, Cal Raleigh homered and the Mariners defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 3-1 in Game 1 of the American League Championship Series.

Jorge Polanco had two RBI singles for the Mariners, who erased Toronto’s home-field advantage in the best-of-seven series.

They enter Game 2 on Monday assured of at least a split of the first two games before the series moves to Seattle for the middle three games as needed.

The Mariners needed 15 innings to defeat the Detroit Tigers 3-2 on Friday night in the deciding fifth game of their American League Division Series. Then their flight from Seattle was delayed.

“Coming back tonight and getting Game 1 is obviously a big momentum shift for us,” Seattle manager Dan Wilson said. “And a lot of work to do yet.”

George Springer hit a solo homer on the first pitch that Miller (1-0) threw in the first inning and the Blue Jays had just one more hit in the game.

“We just didn’t hit,” said Toronto star Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who was 0-for-4. “It’s just one game.”

Seattle had runners on the corners with one out in the first against right-hander Kevin Gausman (1-1) after singles by Raleigh and Julio Rodriguez. The rally was blunted when Raleigh was thrown out at home on Polanco’s grounder to third.

Springer’s homer to right on a fastball was his second homer this postseason and the first to lead off a playoff game in team history.

Gausman retired 16 in a row before Raleigh hit his second home run of this postseason with two outs in the sixth — a blast to right center on a 2-2 splitter.

Asked if he had considered walking Raleigh, who hit a major league-leading 60 homers this season, Toronto manager John Schneider said: “Every single time he comes to the plate I’m considering it, to be honest with you.”

Rodriguez followed the homer with a walk, and left-hander Brendon Little replaced Gausman. After a wild pitch, Polanco stroked an RBI single to left.

“I gave up a home run and a walk, up to that point, I’d been throwing the ball really well and had the game right there,” Gausman said. “This one’s on me.”

Gausman allowed two runs, three hits and one walk with five strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings.

Miller retired 13 straight before walking Addison Barger with two outs in the home sixth.

The right-hander allowed one run, two hits and three walks with three strikeouts in six innings before lefty Gabe Speier took over to toss a perfect seventh.

“The job that Bryce Miller did tonight was phenomenal,” Wilson said. “Coming back on short rest and getting behind early there with the first pitch of the game. … After that first inning, he went into a different gear, and you saw him getting ahead using all his stuff. The fastball kept coming out really good.”

Randy Arozarena walked to lead off the eighth against righty Seranthony Dominguez and stole second and third. Rodriguez walked with one out and Polanco grounded an RBI single to right.

Seattle’s Matt Brash pitched a perfect eighth and Andres Munoz a clean ninth to earn the save.

Toronto’s Myles Straw replaced Nathan Lukes in right field in the fourth inning. Lukes fouled a ball off his right knee in the first and sustained a contusion, but tests showed no fracture and he could be available to play on Monday.

MARINERS TURN TO RHP LOGAN GILBERT, JAYS TO ROOKIE TREY YESAVAGE IN GAME 2

TORONTO — After snatching home-field advantage from the Toronto Blue Jays in the American League Championship Series, the Seattle Mariners will go for a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven set on Monday.

The Mariners won the series opener Sunday night 3-1, showing no signs of fatigue from their 3-2, 15-inning victory over the Detroit Tigers on Friday night in the deciding fifth game of their American League Division Series.

The series then goes to Seattle for the middle three games as needed.

Mariners manager Dan Wilson said after the series opener that right-hander Logan Gilbert (1-0, 1.13 ERA in the postseason) will start Game 2.

Gilbert pitched two innings of relief on Friday but, when asked, said that he would be ready to pitch in Game 2.

“We talked about it (on Sunday), and they basically just asked me if I was good to go,” Gilbert, 28, said after the game on Sunday. “Of course, I said yeah right away. They wanted me to see how I felt in catch play, if my arm felt normal, and it did. It was kind of unusual circumstances a few days ago, but I don’t know, I treat it as a bullpen or very high-intensity bullpen and, hopefully, just be feeling good, ready to go.”

Wilson said he was basing his decision on how Gilbert is feeling.

“I think the outing the other night in the 15-inning game was really a good side day for him,” the manager said. “The way we’re looking at it is he took a side session in the game with 40,000-plus people there. He’s ready to go. He’s excited. He wants the ball. So, it’ll be Logan tomorrow.”

Gilbert is 0-2, 5.24, in six career starts against the Blue Jays. He is 0-0 with a 3.86 ERA against them in one start this season, an April 19 road game which Seattle won 8-4 in 12 innings.

He will have a tough act to follow in righty Bryce Miller, who allowed one run and two hits in six innings in Game 1 while pitching on three days’ rest. It helped save a pitching staff that was taxed on Friday.

“That’s huge on short rest, for sure,” Gilbert said. “I think he’s peaking at the right time. His stuff looks great. Recently he’s pitched really well … and the team kind of needed it, especially playing that extra-inning game. And (the Blue Jays) got a few days off there, so it kind of helped us out, set us kind of equal, I guess, after the rest.”

The Blue Jays have tabbed rookie right-hander Trey Yesavage (1-0, 0.00) to start Game 2. In his fourth major league start, he struck out 11 in 5 1/3 innings in Game 2 of the American League Division Series against the New York Yankees.

“I’m just looking to … not put too much pressure on myself, just go out there and be who I am and be the pitcher I’ve always been and trust my defense, trust my catchers, trust my offense,” Yesavage, 22, said on Sunday.

Toronto manager John Schneider said it was not a hard decision to start Yesavage even with the addition of veteran starters Max Scherzer, 41, and Chris Bassitt, 36, to the ALCS roster. The right-handers were not on the ALDS roster.

“I think watching how unique his stuff can be, especially against teams that haven’t seen him, and his demeanor has been really damn good,” Schneider said on Sunday. “So, it was a pretty easy choice just by watching how he’s conducted himself and watching what he’s doing on the mound.”

BLUE JAYS NAME ROOKIE RHP TREY YESAVAGE ALCS GAME 2 STARTER

The Toronto Blue Jays named rookie right-hander Trey Yesavage as their starter for Game 2 of the American League Championship Series on Monday against the Seattle Mariners.

Yesavage, 22, did not make his major league debut until Sept. 15 and went 1-0 with a 3.21 ERA in three regular-season starts.

In his lone appearance during the American League Division Series against the New York Yankees, Yesavage started and earned the win in Game 2 with 5 1/3 hitless innings while striking out 11 batters. The strikeout total was a franchise record for a playoff game.

The No. 20 overall draft pick in 2024, the East Carolina alum made his minor league debut this season and went 5-1 with a 3.12 ERA in 25 appearances (22 starts) over four different levels that included a 3.63 ERA in six appearances (four starts) at Triple-A Buffalo.

DODGERS HAVE STARTING PITCHING ON SCHEDULE FOR NLCS VS. BREWERS

MILWAUKEE — The well-rested Los Angeles Dodgers should have an advantage in starting pitching over the Milwaukee Brewers in the first game of the National League Championship Series on Monday.

The defending World Series champion Dodgers have been idle since Thursday when they wrapped up their National League Division Series, three games to one, with a 2-1 home victory over Philadelphia in 11 innings.

Milwaukee cobbled together a bullpen game and advanced with a 3-1 home victory over the Chicago Cubs on Saturday in the decisive fifth game of its NLDS.

Left-hander Blake Snell, who has won both of his postseason starts, is scheduled to start for the Dodgers. The Brewers have not named a starter but could opt for an opener.

Milwaukee has the No. 1 overall seed and home-field advantage for the entire postseason after winning a franchise-record 97 games during the regular season.

“I think that they’re similar to what we saw earlier this year in the sense of, I think they’re playing really good baseball,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Sunday. “Towards the end of the year, they kind of scuffled a little bit, but they’re back to playing the way they play.”

Milwaukee is in the playoffs for the seventh time in eight seasons, but the Brewers had not won a playoff series since the NLDS in 2018. They lost to the Dodgers four games to three in the NLCS that season.

The Brewers were 6-0 this season against the Dodgers, sweeping three-game series at home and away.

“We’re not overconfident, that’s for sure,” Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Sunday. “The Dodgers are a powerhouse, what can you say?”

The Dodgers’ four-man rotation of Snell, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Shohei Ohtani and Tyler Glasnow is rested and ready. Yamamoto is scheduled for Game 2, Roberts said.

Snell has allowed two runs in 13 innings, striking out 18 and walking five in his two postseason outings. Snell, who missed much of the season with shoulder inflammation, was 5-4 with 2.35 ERA in 11 games during the regular season.

Mookie Betts is hitting .385 in six postseason games, and Teoscar Hernandez is at .308 with three homers and nine RBIs.

Either Quinn Priester or Jose Quintana could serve as the Brewers’ opener for Game 1, Murphy said. Priester, 13-3 during the regular season, failed to get out of the first inning in Game 3 of the NLDS, allowing four runs and getting just two outs.

Milwaukee had to resort to bullpen games twice against the Cubs, with hard-throwing rookie Jacob Misiorowski winning both.

Misiorowski was named to the All-Star team after just five major league starts, but the right-hander struggled in the second half. In the NLDS, however, he allowed just one run in seven innings, striking out seven and walking two.

Right-hander Chad Patrick pitched in four of the five games, tossing 4 2/3 scoreless innings. Righty Abner Uribe did not allow a run in three innings, locking down Game 5 with a two-inning save.

Jackson Chourio hit .389 in the NLDS with a homer, two doubles and six RBIs. William Contreras hit .300 with two homers.

Brewers rookie third baseman Caleb Durbin, who hit .256 with 11 homers during the regular season, was asked about the David vs. Goliath perception of facing the Dodgers.

“Since Opening Day, that’s been kind of the idea, but I think we just really worry about ourselves, and that’s why we’ve been able to click throughout the entire year,” Durbin said Sunday. “It’s not really about who is on the other side; it’s about us.

“Obviously, the Dodgers have a really good team over there, but it’s no different this series.”

Denver’s defense lowered the boom on New York and the Broncos did enough to leave London with a narrow win.

Flacco held his own in his Bengals debut after being traded to Cincinnati on Tuesday, completing 29 of 45 passes for 219 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. Ja’Marr Chase and Tanner Hudson each caught a TD for the Bengals, who have lost four straight games.

LIONS S BRIAN BRANCH, CHIEFS WR JUJU SMITH-SCHUSTER SCUFFLE AFTER GAME

Detroit safety Brian Branch struck Kansas City wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster with an open-handed blow to the face, setting off a scrum after the end of the host Chiefs’ 30-17 victory on Sunday night.

The game had concluded when Branch ignored Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes attempt to high-five him as the Lions player walked past near midfield. Smith-Schuster was nearby and went up to him, but apparently after a few words, Branch hit him in his facemask, causing him to tumble to the ground.

Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco tried to separate the pair after Smith-Schuster got up and ran after Branch, only for the Chiefs receiver to get his helmet taken off and Branch to get him on the turf again as players from both sides converged on the fight.

Branch later apologized for the skirmish and explained his reasoning for being upset with Smith-Schuster.

“I did a real childish thing,” Branch, 23, told reporters. “I’m tired of people doing stuff in between plays and refs don’t catch it. They be trying to bully me out there. I shouldn’t have did it, it was childish.”

He cited a specific play late in the fourth quarter when Smith-Schuster hit him in the back away from the play.

“I got blocked in the back illegally,” Branch said, “and it was in front of the ref and the ref didn’t do anything. It’s just stuff like that. I could’ve gotten hurt off of that, but I still shouldn’t have done (the postgame fight), though.”

Smith-Schuster called Branch a great player who is important to the Lions. He was expecting a handshake and a “good game,” he said.

“But he threw a punch,” said Smith-Schuster, 28, who thought Branch was frustrated during the game by “me just blocking him.”

“I’m just doing my job,” Smith-Schuster continued. “I play between the whistles.”

Mahomes touched on that theme earlier when he was interviewed after the game on the NBC broadcast.

“I mean, we play the game in between the whistles,” Mahomes said. “They can do all the extracurricular stuff they want to do, but we play in between the whistles.”

Kansas City coach Andy Reid said Branch hit Smith-Schuster “for what looked like no reason,” and noted his receiver got his nose bloodied. “That’s tough and he did pretty good damage on JuJu’s nose.”

Detroit coach Dan Campbell said Branch was in the wrong.

“I love Brian Branch, but what he did is inexcusable and it’s not going to be accepted here,” Campbell said. “It’s not what we do, it’s not what we’re about. I apologized to coach Reid and the Chiefs and Smith-Schuster. That’s not OK. That’s not what we do here, and it’s not gonna be OK. He knows it, our team knows it. That’s not what we do.”

Branch, a second-round draft selection in 2023 and a Pro Bowl pick in 2024, has been fined by the league a total of $34,784 this season for an unsportsmanlike conduct infraction in Week 1 against the Green Bay Packers and two unnecessary roughness violations: taunting the Packers and for a low block in Week 3 against the Baltimore Ravens, NFL.com reported.

Smith-Schuster, a second-round pick by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2017, has played for the Steelers (2017-21), Kansas City Chiefs (2022, 2024-present), and New England Patriots (2023). He was selected to the Pro Bowl in 2018.

49ERS WR JAUAN JENNINGS PLAYS WITH ‘5 BROKEN RIBS,’ ANKLE, SHOULDER INJURIES

San Francisco wide receiver Jauan Jennings has been playing with five broken ribs as well as ankle and shoulder injuries, he told reporters after the 49ers’ 30-19 loss to the host Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.

Jennings, who has missed two games for the 49ers (4-2), was listed as questionable after being limited in practice and finished with one reception on three targets for 7 yards on Sunday.

“You know playing with injuries, it’s part of it,” Jennings said. “You got high and low ankle sprains. You got shoulders at 20%. You got ribs, five broken ribs. It is what it is. You keep playing and nobody cares. Keep playing. That’s what we do.”

Jennings, 28, said he injured his ribs in a Week 4 home loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He now has 10 catches on 22 targets for 136 yards and one touchdown in four games.

“It’s football. I love pain, I wouldn’t be playing this sport if I didn’t,” Jennings said. “That’s part of it. You’ve got to enjoy every little thing that comes with it, and pain is one of those.”

San Francisco is dealing with injuries to critical players such as All-Pro linebacker Fred Warner, who was lost for the season due to a severe right ankle injury on Sunday. The receiving corps has been hit hard, with wide receivers Ricky Pearsall and Jordan Watkins out on Sunday because of knee injuries, and Brandon Aiyuk (knee) hasn’t played all season. All-Pro tight end George Kittle (hamstring) has been on injured reserve since Game 1 and is expected to return to practice this week.

For his career, Jennings has 165 receptions on 262 targets for 2,074 yards and 14 touchdowns in 64 regular-season games (21 starts). He also has 20 catches for 221 yards and one TD in nine playoff games as a reserve.

San Francisco selected Jennings in the seventh round of the 2020 NFL Draft out of Tennessee.

AP POLL: NO. 3 INDIANA EARNS HIGHEST RANKING EVER; TEXAS, USC BACK IN

Indiana moved up to No. 3 in The Associated Press college football poll Sunday for its highest ranking in program history and Texas was among five teams entering the Top 25 after eight ranked teams, three of them previously unbeaten, lost over the weekend.

Ohio State and Miami remained the top two teams while the Hoosiers earned a four-spot promotion for their 10-point win at then-No. 3 Oregon. No. 4 Texas A&M and No. 5 Mississippi traded places after the Aggies’ 17-point home win over Florida and the Rebels’ three-point home win over Washington State.

The Buckeyes strengthened their hold on No. 1 with a solid road win against then-No. 17 Illinois and received 50 first-place votes, 10 more than last week. Miami, which was idle, earned 13 first-place votes and Indiana got the other three.

Alabama moved up two spots to No. 6 and was followed by Texas Tech, Oregon, Georgia and LSU. Oregon dropped five spots and has its lowest ranking in 20 polls since it was No. 8 in September 2024.

Indiana’s groundbreaking run under second-year coach Curt Cignetti has been one of the biggest stories in college football since last season. The Hoosiers went into the Oregon game 0-46 on the road against top-five teams and, before Sunday, had never been ranked higher than No. 4. Their three first-place votes are their most in a poll since they got the same number when they were ranked No. 6 on Nov. 5, 1945.

Oklahoma plunged eight spots to No. 14 with its first loss, 23-6 to Texas. The Longhorns were the preseason No. 1 team, but a season-opening loss at Ohio State and Week 6 loss at Florida dropped them out of the Top 25. In beating the rival Soooners, they held a top-10 opponent without a touchdown for the first time since 1979 and re-entered the poll at No. 21.

Missouri, which started 5-0, fell two spots to No. 16 after its three-point home loss to Alabama.

In and out

— No. 20 Southern California, ranked two weeks in September, returned on the strength of its 18-point home win over Michigan.

— No. 21 Texas picked up its first win of the season against a ranked opponent and won’t see another one for at least three weeks.

— No. 23 Utah is back after a three-week absence following a 32-point win over Arizona State.

— No. 24 Cincinnati beat UCF at home for its fifth straight win and is ranked for the first time since 2022.

— No. 25 Nebraska came from behind to beat Maryland on the road and has its first ranking of the season.

— Michigan (15), Illinois (17), Arizona State (21), Iowa State (22) and Florida State (25) dropped out.

Poll points

— No. 4 Texas A&M has its highest ranking in a regular season since it was No. 3 in September 1995.

— No. 25 Nebraska is ranked in consecutive seasons for the first time since 2013-14.

— With five teams dropping out, it was the most turnover in a regular-season poll since seven teams fell out Oct. 2, 2022.

Conference call

SEC (10) — Nos. 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 14, 16, 17, 21.

Big Ten (5) — Nos. 1, 3, 8, 20, 25.

Big 12 (4) — Nos. 7, 15, 23, 24.

ACC (3) — Nos. 2, 12, 18.

American (2) — Nos. 19, 22.

Independent (1) — No. 13.

Ranked vs. unranked

— No. 5 Mississippi (6-0) at No. 9 Georgia (5-1): Judging by their close call against Washington State, the Rebels might have been looking ahead to this one. They’ve lost six straight in Athens since 1996.

— No. 10 LSU (5-1) at No. 17 Vanderbilt (5-1): Tigers have won 10 straight in the series. Both teams will be ranked in this matchup for the first time since 1947.

— No. 11 Tennessee (5-1) at No. 6 Alabama (5-1): A Top 25 matchup for fifth straight year. Both teams coming off hard-fought, three-point wins.

— No. 20 Southern California (5-1) at No. 13 Notre Dame (4-2): High stakes in this storied series with both teams clinging to playoff hopes.

— No. 23 Utah (5-1) at No. 15 BYU (6-0): First Top 25 matchup in this one since 2009. Last year, Cougars benefited from a questionable fourth-down defensive holding penalty before kicking field goal with 4 seconds left for a 22-21 win.

INDIANA, TEXAS A&M WOULD BE TOP-FOUR CFP SEEDS BASED ON AP TOP 25; TENNESSEE, USF BACK ON BRACKET

Indiana and Texas A&M would be top-four seeds in the College Football Playoff based on The Associated Press Top 25 released Sunday and Tennessee and South Florida would be back on the mock bracket.

Ohio State and Miami remain the top two seeds as the Nos. 1 and 2 teams in the AP poll, with Indiana No. 3 and Texas A&M No. 4.

The Hoosiers’ four-spot jump in the poll following their win at Oregon would give them a first-round bye as one of the top four seeds. Same with Texas A&M, which bumped Mississippi out of the No. 4 spot in the poll after the Rebels struggled to beat Washington State as a heavy favorite.

Oklahoma’s loss to Texas, followed by its eight-spot drop in the poll to No. 14, caused the Sooners to fall off the bracket and be replaced by Tennessee. The Volunteers held on to beat Arkansas and moved up one spot in the poll to No. 11.

South Florida, which hammered North Texas 63-36 on Friday, returned to the bracket after a one-week absence. The Bulls jumped five spots to No. 19 in the poll to take the mandatory Group of Five spot away from Memphis, which was idle.

The Southeastern Conference would have six of the 12 teams on the mock bracket. The Big Ten would have three teams and the Atlantic Coast Conference, Big 12 and American would have one each.

— No. 9 seed Georgia at No. 8 Oregon. Winner vs. No. 1 Ohio State.

— No. 12 seed South Florida at No. 5 Mississippi. Winner vs. No. 4 Texas A&M.

— No. 10 seed LSU at No. 7 seed Texas Tech. Winner vs. No. 2 Miami.

— No. 11 seed Tennessee at No. 6 Alabama. Winner vs. No. 3 Indiana.

The first three teams outside the bracket: Georgia Tech, Notre Dame and Oklahoma. The Yellow Jackets are ranked No. 12 by the AP but would get bumped by automatically qualifying conference champion South Florida of the American.

The five highest-ranked conference champions automatically qualify for the CFP, but no longer do the four highest-ranked champions receive a first-round bye. The 12-team bracket is now seeded directly based on the CFP’s final rankings on Dec. 7.

The top four seeds will be assigned to quarterfinals in ranking order and in consideration of current bowl relationships. This year, quarterfinal winners advance to the semifinals at the Fiesta Bowl and the Peach Bowl. The No. 1 seed would receive preferential placement based on geography.

Teams ranked Nos. 5-12 by the CFP will play in the first round, with the higher seeds hosting the lower seeds either on campus or at other sites designated by the higher-seeded school. First-round games are Dec. 19 and 20, quarterfinals Dec. 31 and Jan. 1, semifinals Jan. 8 and 9 and the championship game is Jan. 19 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.

The AP will publish brackets based on the weekly Top 25 until the CFP selection committee unveils its initial rankings Nov. 4.

PENN STATE FIRES FRANKLIN AMID 3-GAME SKID

Penn State has fired longtime head coach James Franklin, the school announced Sunday.

Franklin’s buyout is more than $48 million, according to On3’s Pete Nakos. He was under contract through the 2031 season after signing a 10-year extension in ’21.

The 53-year-old built a competitive team after joining Penn State in 2014. He leaves the program with a 104-45 record highlighted by a Big Ten title in 2016. The Nittany Lions, who began this year’s campaign as the nation’s second-ranked team, made the College Football Playoff last season and beat SMU and Boise State before losing to Notre Dame in the semifinal.

Franklin’s Nittany Lions notably fell short in their biggest games, going 4-21 against top-10 opponents under his watch. The team started the 2025 campaign 3-0 but has since lost three in a row.

“Penn State owes an enormous amount of gratitude to coach Franklin, who rebuilt our football program into a national power, Penn State athletic director Patrick Kraft said in a statement. “He won a Big Ten championship, led us to seven New Year’s Six bowl games and a College Football Playoff appearance last year. However, we hold our athletics programs to the highest of standards, and we believe this is the right moment for new leadership at the helm of our football program to advance us toward Big Ten and national championships.”

Penn State’s losing streak began against top-10 foe Oregon at home. Franklin’s outfit followed that by dropping its matchup with then-winless UCLA and most recently falling to Northwestern 22-21 on Saturday. The Nittany Lions also lost quarterback Drew Allar to a season-ending injury versus the Wildcats.

Associate head coach Terry Smith will serve as Penn State’s interim head coach for the remainder of the season. The team will visit Iowa next in Week 8.

CHARLIE LINDGREN SHUTS OUT RANGERS TO HELP CAPITALS PICK UP WIN

Charlie Lindgren made several highlight-reel saves in a stellar 35-save performance Sunday night as the visiting Washington Capitals earned a 1-0 victory over the New York Rangers.

Lindgren, the brother of former New York defenseman Ryan Lindgren, posted his 10th career shutout and second against the Rangers. He improved to 4-1-0 in his career against the Rangers by making 13 saves apiece in the first and second before stopping nine shots in the third.

Lindgren’s best save of the night occurred when the game was still scoreless as the Rangers were on a 2-on-1 4:53 into the second.

Artemi Panarin and Mika Zibanejad came down the ice on an odd-man rush. Panarin made a cross-ice pass, and Lindgren made a sprawling glove save by moving slightly out of the crease on Zibanejad’s one-timer from below the right circle.

Anthony Beauvillier scored the lone goal with 6:13 remaining in the second as the Capitals won their second straight and beat the Rangers for the fourth straight time. Alex Ovechkin had an assist for the second straight game.

Lindgren became the fourth goalie in team history with a road shutout over the Rangers. He joined Darcy Kuemper (2022), Philipp Grubauer (2017) and Rick Tabaracci (1993).

The 31-year-old made seven saves on Zibanejad, including a left pad save during New York’s power play with 3:55 left in the second. He also made his lone save on Panarin by stopping the star with a glove save with less than six minutes left in the third.

The Rangers were unable to follow up a pair of blowout wins after scoring a combined 10 goals in Buffalo and Pittsburgh. New York was shut out for the second straight time on home ice after taking a 3-0 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins in its home opener Tuesday.

New York backup goalie Jonathan Quick made 20 saves, including a point-blank save on Beauvillier with 12:07 left in the opening period after Rangers defenseman Will Borgen lost the puck.

The Capitals finally broke through when Beauvillier emerged untouched at the bottom of the left circle. As New York defensemen Urho Vaakanainen and Braden Schneider left him open, Ovechkin took a shot from the top of the circle, and Beauvillier lifted his stick for the deflection over Quick.

SCHAUFFELE WINS IN JAPAN, THE COUNTRY WHERE HE HAS CLOSE PERSONAL TIES

YOKOHAMA, Japan (AP) — This may not have been Xander Schauffele’s most prestigious tournament victory, but it should be the American’s most memorable.

Schauffele’s shot a 7-under 64 on Sunday to win the Baycurrent Classic in Japan – a country where his mother grew up and where he has many connections.

Schauffele, who shot 19-under 265 over four rounds at the Yokohama Country Club, finished one shot ahead of American Max Greyserman, who was also the runner-up at this event a year ago as he chases his first PGA Tour title.

Schauffele has maternal grandparents living in Japan and his mother has roots in Taiwan and grew up in Japan. His mother-in-law is also Japanese, and his wife is half Japanese and grew up in Japan’s southern island of Okinawa.

“I’ve been coming here since I was about 9 years old to visit my grandparents,” Schauffele said. “I sort of fell in love with this country a long time ago. I can’t wait to bring my son here when he’s old enough to sort of understand and appreciate the culture here in Japan.”

“Yeah, the ties run deep for the Schauffele family here in Japan,” he added.

Schauffele and his wife Maya became parents just over a month ago with the birth of a son.

“It’s still kind of fresh, but it’s definitely a cool thing being a dad and I’m so excited to go home to him and Maya after this,” Schauffele said.

Schauffele was cheered during the tournament by family members who attended, including his 81-year-old grandmother who walked the course with him. He said there would probably be a “get-together” with family members later to celebrate.

“I mean, I don’t get to see them very often and they’ve always been gracious with their time to come out wherever the event was,” he said. “They’ve been awesome to me and this is pretty cool. I’ve really wanted to share a win with them, so can’t wait to get together with them.”

Greyserman closed with a 65 and held or shared the lead through the first three rounds. American Michael Thorbjornsen finished with a 64 and was three strokes behind the winner.

Schauffele has won two major championships – including the British Open in 2024 which was his last victory – and took gold in the Tokyo Olympics, which were delayed until 2021 by the pandemic. He’s also compiled a considerable list of other PGA Tour titles – but this PGA Tour title is different.

Soft conditions and still winds led to low scoring. American Matt McCarty shot an 11-under 60 – he still finished nine strokes back. Japanese Takumi Kanaya finished with a 9-under 62 and was five behind with winner.

McCarty had a chance at a 58 but hit into the trees on his final hole and settled for a bogey and a 60. Jim Furyk holds the PGA Tour record with a 58 in the final round of the Travelers Championship in 2016.

ALEX CEJKA CLOSES OUT 3-STROKE VICTORY AT SAS CHAMPIONSHIP

Alex Cejka of Germany shot a 1-under-par 71 on Sunday to finish with a three-stroke win at the PGA Tour Champions’ SAS Championship in Cary, N.C.

On a high-scoring day at Prestonwood Country Club, Cejka managed one of the lower scores of the final round by weathering a slow start and finishing hot. Cejka suffered bogeys on Holes 4, 12 and 15 that balanced against birdies on the sixth and 13th to leave him at 1 over going into the final three holes.

That came in contrast to his Saturday, when he shot a tournament-best 6-under 66 to give him a three-stroke cushion coming into the final round.

But Cejka recaptured some of that magic and closed with birdies on his final two holes to finish 9-under 207 and secure his first title since the 2023 Senior Open Championship, which also was earned in rugged weather. The 54-year-old collected a $315,000 check for his troubles.

“It’s tough golfing out there when you have a tough track, conditions like this, windy, rainy,” Cejka said. “I don’t know, maybe I focus better. Maybe I — I honestly can’t tell you why. Maybe I focus a little bit more, I don’t know. I’m just happy the day is over today, let me tell you.”

Fellow German Bernhard Langer, who was second coming into the day, fell off the pace into a tie for seventh (2 under) with his 3-over 75. But he cheered on his countryman through the difficult conditions.

“I was really a little bit emotional. It’s the first three-round tournament I won,” Cejka said. “Especially playing alongside my idol, Bernhard Langer, who I admired for the last, I don’t know, 34 years. Being with him in the final round and in tough conditions on a tough golf course, and I held my stuff together. I’m really, really proud. I cannot even put it in words what it means to me.”

South Africa’s Ernie Els finished second thanks to his 4-under 68, which gave him the distinction of Sunday’s low round. Only three other golfers broke 70.

Els’ day featured birdies on Holes 4, 8, 10, 12 and 17 with a bogey on No. 15.

Third on the podium was New Zealand’s Steven Alker, who finished 4 under after his 1-under 71 Sunday.

Tied for fourth were Steve Flesch (71), Tim O’Neal (71) and Sweden’s Robert Karlsson (72).

JEENO THITIKUL WINS LPGA SHANGHAI AFTER 5-HOLE PLAYOFF

Jeeno Thitikul overcame a four-stroke deficit with five holes to play, then outlasted Minami Katsu in a five-hole playoff to win the LPGA Shanghai tournament on Sunday.

The world’s top-ranked golfer, Thitikul bested the overnight leader in the playoff to become a six-time LPGA Tour winner and the first two-time tournament winner of the season.

Thitikul, of Thailand, collected an eagle and seven birdies to highlight a round of 9-under-par 63 on Sunday to finish the tournament at 24-under 264. The 22-year-old rolled in birdie putts on holes Nos. 14-16 before bouncing in an eagle on the 17th of Qizhong Garden Golf Club to draw even with Katsu, who shot a bogey-free 65 on Sunday.

Katsu narrowly missed birdie putts on two of her first four playoff holes before Thitikul sent an approach that landed three feet away from the cup on the fifth playoff hole, contested at the par-4 18th. Thitikul tapped it in to pocket the first-prize purse of $330,000 and record her first win since the Mizuho Americas Open in May.

It also helped take some of the sting away from her four-putt fiasco on the final hole at the Kroger Queen City Championship in Cincinnati last month.

“Definitely cried a lot. Not going lie, cried quite a lot,” Thitikul said. “… I just kept (telling) myself — whatever is happening in dramatic events, not just Cincinnati, but in this year, I just told myself that I need to earn it by myself.”

Thitikul’s multiple wins this season were news to Katsu.

“I didn’t know about that, there were no multiple winners this season. That was the first time I heard about that,” the Japanese golfer said. “So a bit surprised about that. Also, it’s very competitive out here and I feel like there is a chance for everyone. Everyone is grinding hard each day.”

Three-time major champion Minjee Lee of Australia birdied four of her final five holes to card a 68 on Sunday and finish in third place at 19-under.

“Jeeno had 9-under and Minami had 7-under so I felt like I got outplayed today, and I definitely did,” Lee said. “It was kind of cool to see on 17 just the chip-in and obviously the putt going in for eagle. So, yeah, no, I think it was fun to watch them. They’re so young and just starting their — well, I don’t know if they’re starting their careers, but feels like I’ve been out there much longer than them.”

American Jenny Bae (69) tied for fourth place with Miyu Yamashita (67) of Japan and Somi Lee (69) of South Korea at 17-under.

Defending champion Ruoning Yin of China ended up in a tie for 26th place after her final round of 68. She was making her first start since the AIG Women’s Open in August.

DENNY HAMLIN SURGES LATE TO WIN SOUTH POINT 400, TIES KEVIN HARVICK WITH 60TH CUP WIN

Denny Hamlin rocketed past teammate Chase Briscoe Sunday afternoon to win the opening race of the NASCAR Cup Series’ Round of 8 playoff, the South Point 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in Las Vegas, Nevada.

After a restart wreck for the fifth caution involving Ty Gibbs, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver’s No. 11 restarted sixth, worked through traffic, and passed Kyle Larson then Briscoe to notch his series-best sixth win this season by 1.533 seconds over Larson’s No. 5 Chevrolet.

The Toyota driver’s second Vegas win was the 60th of his career, tying him with Kevin Harvick for 10thon the all-time Cup list.

Christopher Bell, Briscoe and Tyler Reddick completed the top five.

Hendrick Motorsports’ William Byron crashed late in the race and ended up 36th.

Championship disaster struck with nine laps to go in Stage 1 as 2023 series champ Ryan Blaney cut a tire near Turn 3 and struck the wall hard, forcing him out of the No. 12 Ford and putting him immediately in playoff peril by finishing last in the 38-car field.

After pit work, Byron restarted at the point and claimed the 80-lap first segment. Larson, Briscoe, Hamlin and Chase Elliott earned the top five stage points. But Elliott’s crew had an uncontrolled tire roll into the pit stall in front of the Chevrolet, handing the No. 9 a penalty.

In Stage 2, Larson grabbed the lead from Byron and dominated the race’s middle portion. The 2021 champ, who led a race-high 129 circuits, pocketed the top points followed by Reddick, Byron, Hamlin and Briscoe.

The final stage, which started on Lap 173, had Larson at the front being hounded by Reddick’s No. 45 Toyota, yet the No. 5 Chevrolet held on and watched as teammate Byron moved into second with 75 laps to go.

Another huge title hit occurred with 31 laps left as Byron, who led 55 laps, did not realize Ty Dillon was pitting and smashed into the No. 10 Chevrolet while on the track coming to the entrance to pit road.

COLTS FOOTBALL

COLTS RALLY PAST CARDINALS FOR BEST START SINCE 2009

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — It was Jonathan Taylor running the ball and Daniel Jones making crucial plays at big moments.

A winning combination for the Indianapolis Colts.

Jones threw two touchdown passes and Jonathan Taylor ran 1 yard for the go-ahead score with 4:32 left, sending the Colts to a 31-27 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.

“We had to make sure we fought through and played together till the end,” Taylor said. “I think it just showed the way we continued fighting, scratching, clawing and then down at the end we had to be dominant on the line of scrimmage.”

They did all of that and more on their way to their sixth straight home win over the past two seasons.

Jones led the Colts (5-1) on a 66-yard scoring drive to take the lead for good in a second half dominated by the offenses. There were no punts in the final two quarters.

Jones finished 22 of 30 for 212 yards with one interception. He also ran for a score. Taylor carried 21 times for 123 yards in his 27th career 100-yard game, and rookie tight end Tyler Warren caught six passes for 63 yards and a touchdown.

“We knew it was going to be a back-and-forth game,” Colts coach Shane Steichen said after beating one of his good friends, Arizona coach Jonathan Gannon, in their first regular-season meeting. “And it was great to see the offense there at the end, go down and get that touchdown to go up 31-27.”

For Gannon and Arizona (2-4), it has been a difficult month.

The Cardinals have lost four straight, the last two by blowing fourth-quarter leads. This time, they had a chance to rally by driving to the Indianapolis 9-yard line with just over one minute to go, but the Colts forced a turnover on downs — despite Trey McBride’s contention he was held in the end zone on the fourth-down play.

“I got a little operating room, I thought I got a pass interference,” McBride said. “They (the referees) didn’t think so. That was unfortunate.”

Jacoby Brissett replaced the injured Kyler Murray against one of his former teams. He was 27 of 44 for 320 yards and two TDs with one interception. McBride had a season-high eight receptions for 72 yards and a score.

But it wasn’t enough to overcome the frenzied final two quarters, thanks largely to Taylor and Jones.

Arizona took a 17-14 lead on McBride’s 1-yard TD reception. Indy answered with a tying 45-yard field goal, and then Brissett found Greg Dortch for a 12-yard TD pass and a 24-17 lead.

Indy tied it again on Jones’ 5-yard TD pass to Josh Downs in the back of the end zone early in the fourth. Then, after Arizona regained the lead on a 44-yard field goal, Taylor found a running lane to his left for the decisive score.

“We had some good (defensive) concepts, I liked what we did at times,” Gannon said. “But we gave Taylor way too much.”

Injury report

Cardinals: Murray (foot) missed his first game since 2023, and receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. left after his head bounced hard off the turf in the second quarter, putting him in the concussion protocol. The scariest moment came when TE Travis Vokolek (neck) was placed on a backboard and taken off the field on a golf cart following a first-quarter collision on a kickoff return. Fox Sports reported Vokolek was alert and able to move his extremities. Safety Dadrion Taylor-Demerson hurt his lower right leg in a collision with linebacker Akeem Davis-Gather late in the game.

Colts: Indy ruled out two players — starting CB Kenny Moore II (Achilles tendon) and backup RB Tyler Goodson (groin) — on Friday, and then lost starting CB Charvarius Ward (concussion) and backup QB Anthony Richardson (eye) because of injuries suffered in pregame warmups. Ward collided with TE Drew Ogletree. Richardson has a fractured orbital bone.

Out of sight

Emari Demercado was listed as the No. 2 running back on Arizona’s depth chart, but one week after he dropped the ball before crossing the goal line, resulting in a turnover, he was limited to just one carry for 1 yard because of an ankle injury.

“He was in the plan, but with Emari going down that was a big shift for us,” Gannon said.

Up next

Cardinals: Return home next Sunday to face the Green Bay Packers.

Colts: Head back to Los Angeles to play the Chargers next Sunday.

INDIANA PACERS

GAME PREVIEW: PACERS VS SPURS (PRESEASON)

The Pacers and Spurs meet for the first of two preseason contests on Monday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Both teams bring undefeated preseason records into Monday’s matchup, as Indiana is 2-0 in exhibitions so far this preseason while the Spurs are 3-0.

Indiana is coming off a 116-101 victory over the Thunder on Saturday. While both teams held out several key players, several depth players impressed for Indiana.

Rookie guard Taelon Peter scored a team-high 18 points off the bench, going 6-for-11 from the field and 4-for-8 from 3-point range while also tallying five rebounds, five assists, and two steals.

Third-year forward Jarace Walker got the start with Aaron Nesmith and Pascal Siakam resting and flirted with a triple-double, finishing with 10 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists in 31 minutes.

The Pacers also put together a strong collective performance on the interior, outscoring Oklahoma City 54-36 in the paint and outrebounding the Thunder 54-37 overall and 11-7 on the offensive glass.

For the first time in 30 years, someone other than Gregg Popovich will be manning the sidelines for the Spurs to open the 2025-26 season. Mitch Johnson enters his first full season as head coach in San Antonio after Popovich — the winningest coach in NBA history with 1,390 career wins — stepped down in May and moved into a front office role. Johnson did serve as interim coach for most of last season, coaching the final 77 regular season games after Popovich suffered a stroke in early November.

Johnson leads a Spurs roster hoping to return to the playoffs for the first time since 2019 and 7-foot-3 center Victor Wembanyama enters his third season hoping for a breakout campaign. The French phenom averaged 24.3 points, 11 rebounds, and 3.8 blocks per game last season, but his season ended early after just 46 games due to deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder.

Projected Starters

Pacers: G – Andrew Nembhard, G – Bennedict Mathurin, F – Aaron Nesmith, F – Pascal Siakam, C – Isaiah Jackson

Spurs: G – Devin Vassell, G – Julian Champagnie, F – Keldon Johnson, F – Harrison Barnes, C – Victor Wembanyama

Injury Report

Pacers: TBA

Spurs: TBA

Last Meeting

Jan. 25, 2025: The Pacers blew out the Spurs 136-98 in the second matchup of the 2025 NBA Paris Games. Indiana avenged a 30-point loss two days earlier by beating San Antonio by 38 in the rematch. The Pacers outscored the Spurs 38-12 in the fourth quarter to pull away.

Tyrese Haliburton led the way with 28 points on 11-of-17 shooting (6-of-9 from 3-point range) in the win. Haliburton made six straight baskets, including four 3-pointers, and scored 16 straight points in a 2:43 second stretch late in the third quarter, helping Indiana move from a one-point deficit before the spree to a 12-point lead at the end of the frame.

Pascal Siakam recorded a double-double with 23 points and 11 rebounds in the victory. Andrew Nembhard added 15 points and nine assists, Myles Turner scored 14 points, and Bennedict Mathurin tallied 13.

Harrison Barnes led San Antonio with 25 points and seven rebounds in the loss, while Victor Wembanyama added 20 points and 12 boards.

Noteworthy

  • The Pacers and Spurs are scheduled to meet twice in the regular season: on Jan. 2 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse and on March 21 in San Antonio.
  • Current Spurs De’Aaron Fox and Harrison Barnes were teammates with Tyrese Haliburton in Sacramento from 2020-22.
  • With Popovich retiring, Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle is now second among active head coaches in career wins with 993. Bucks head coach Doc Rivers is the new active leader with 1,162 career wins.

BIG TEN WINNING STREAK ENDS IN EAST LANSING

EAST LANSING,  Mich. – Every road contest in the Big Ten is difficult. And the 20th-ranked Indiana volleyball team (14-2, 5-1 B1G), led by a host of freshmen, found that out on Sunday (Oct. 12) afternoon. Michigan State (14-2, 4-2) pulled away late in each set for a comfortable sweep (25-21, 25-19, 25-18) at the Breslin Center in East Lansing. It brought IU’s seven-match winning streak to a close and was the first conference defeat of the year.

Sunday’s contest was the final in a long four-match road stretch. During that run, IU picked up wins over No. 17 USC, No. 24 UCLA and Michigan. But the Hoosiers couldn’t close out the trip in style. Michigan State’s defense held IU’s potent to a season-low .067 hitting percentage. IU committed 28 attacking errors and were blocked nine times.

Michigan State’s offense came fast and heavy in set one to set the tone at the Breslin Center. On the afternoon, the Spartans hit .256. They needed just four kills to finish off the third frame as IU’s attacking errors piled up at a quick pace. Freshman outside hitter Bianca Mumcular led the way with eight kills.

Senior opposite hitter Avry Tatum and sophomore middle blocker Ella Boersema each had a team-high eight kills for the Hoosiers. Freshman outside hitter Jaidyn Jager was pulled late with just seven kills. She was replaced by freshman outside hitter Charlotte Vinson, who made her collegiate debut.

IU’s undefeated start to conference play ends after five wins in its first five tries. Head coach Steve Aird’s group will have little time to focus on this one ahead of a Thursday contest at Gainbridge Fieldhouse against Purdue. Following the contest in Indianapolis, IU will play eight of its final 13 games at Wilkinson Hall.

How it Happened

• The Hoosiers closed the deficit in set one to just one point on multiple occasions but couldn’t figure out a way to close it out. From there, Michigan State controlled the tempo of the match. IU led for most of the second set but allowed the Spartans to end on an 8-0 run on Sunday.

Top Hoosier Performers

#27 Boersema, Ella

8 kills, .462 hitting percentage, 2 blocks

#13 Tatum, Avry

8 kills, 2 blocks

Notes to Know

• Sophomore middle blocker Ella Boersema put up eight kills on a .462 hitting percentage in Sunday’s contest. It’s the fifth match this season where she’s had at least eight kills in a single match. On the year, the young middle blocker is enjoying a .374 hitting percentage with 71 kills.

• The Hoosiers’ five-match winning streak over Michigan State ended with defeat on Sunday. Before today, IU hadn’t lost to the side from East Lansing since the 2019 campaign. Against both Michigan schools, it brought to a close a 10-match winning streak under head coach Steve Aird.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. –  The Notre Dame Fighting Irish (12-0-1, 7-0-0) kept their unbeaten streak alive as they defeated SMU (8-5-2, 2-3-2) on Sunday afternoon in a 3-0 victory. Notre Dame’s 11-match win streak is the longest win streak in the country this season.

Annabelle Chukwu recorded her 10th goal of the season for Notre Dame’s first goal of the day and Abby Mills followed shortly after with her second goal of the season. 

Morgan Roy finished the day with three points, as she recorded an assist and a goal, while Grace Restovich recorded two assists for the Irish in the win, tying her season-best.

HOW IT HAPPENED

The Irish were on the board early as a Roy corner kick led to a Chukwu header for a 1-0 start for Notre Dame in the 6th minute. The Irish are unbeaten in the last 54 games when scoring first.

In the 41st minute,  Notre Dame would score yet again on a corner kick, but this time it would be Restovich who found Mills for a header to give the Irish a 2-0 advantage heading into the second half.

Still searching for a second half goal, Restovich was able to hit Roy on a cross to the right wing, sneaking it over the heads of a pair of defenders. Roy sent it off the right foot and slotted it home in the 81st minute for the third Irish goal of the day.

While the Irish had some looks that were called back for offsides, the Mustangs also had some opportunities to cut the deficit in the second half, but the Irish would ultimately take home the 3-0 win with their first shutout win of ACC play.

WOMEN’S SOCCER DROPS SENIOR DAY CONTEST TO YOUNGSTOWN STATE

INDIANAPOLIS – The IU Indianapolis women’s soccer team came out firing on Sunday (Oct. 12) but was ultimately unable to solve the Youngstown State defense as the Jaguars fell to the Penguins 2-0 on Senior Day at Carroll Stadium. The Jaguars earned a 21-10 shot advantage and 8-3 margin on corner kicks, but were unable to get any of their 10 shots on target past YSU goalkeeper Maya Naimoli.

The Penguins (5-8-2, 4-1-2 HL) netted the game-winner in the tenth minute when Sara Felder put home a rebound off a Chloe Weiland initial attempt, which was stopped by Sarah Bambrick. YSU’s Baylee Williams added insurance in the 73rd minute when the Jaguars were unable to clear the ball in amongst a glut of bodies, leading to Williams’ header sneaking into the net.

After yielding the goal, IU Indy (3-9-2, 2-3-1 HL) dominated pace and possession for the remainder of the first half, knocking on the door repeatedly on way to a 15-3 first half shot advantage.

“We’ve just got to continue to work on finishing. We’re creating the opportunities, whereas if we weren’t creating them, that would be a bigger issue,” head coach Angela Berry White said. “Hats off to their keeper as well. She had some great saves. We also have to hit it where she isn’t.

“We just have to do a better job of finding the open space in the net and those opportunities are there.”

Redshirt sophomore Lilly Ma nearly got an equalizer in the 16th minute, forcing Naimoli to push the attempt over the bar for a Jaguar corner kick. On an ensuing corner, sophomore Bethany Hartigan had a header aimed for inside the post punched away. In the final minute of the half, junior Lindsey Castillo had a shot cleared off the line, leading to an IU Indy corner. As the final seconds of the half ticked down, freshman Anika Guenther had a header saved as time expired.

As the Jaguars’ desperation increased, the quality of attempts decreased as YSU kept numbers behind the ball and allowed shots from long distance.

Emma Frey attempted a team-high eight shots from her midfield spot and Caroline Kelley had five attempts, putting four on target. Guenther made an immediate impact off the bench, trying two shots in just more than 30 minutes of work.

Bambrick was credited with six saves while Naimoli made nine stops in the shutout.

IU Indy honored five seniors following the game as Bambrick, Frey, Sarah Henson, Arissa North and Kailyn Smith were recognized.

The Jaguars will return to action on Thursday (Oct. 16) when they face Milwaukee at 8:00 p.m. ET on ESPN+.

SCREAMING EAGLES TOP THE COUGARS IN FINAL MINUTES SUNDAY

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Soccer battled past Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, 1-0, at Strassweg Field on Sunday after senior forward Emerson Grafton scored the game-winning goal on a diving header with less than 10 minutes left in the contest.

With Sunday’s victory and results elsewhere within the Ohio Valley Conference, USI Women’s Soccer (6-5-4, 3-0-3 OVC) clinched its spot in the OVC tournament for a fourth straight season. The win also gave USI its most wins in a season since moving to Division I in 2022 and pushed the Screaming Eagles’ unbeaten streak to 10 matches. USI also picked up its first win against SIUE (2-10-3, 1-3-2 OVC) since 2007. The two teams had tied in each of the previous three meetings before Sunday.

In Sunday’s game, Grafton recorded her fourth goal of the season, taking the team lead in goals scored and in points on the campaign. Grafton totaled two shots in the game.

USI came out with early momentum and pressure in the first half, generating two quick shooting chances. The Screaming Eagles produced a good build-up into the attacking third, totaling six shots in the first half.

As SIUE tried to grab some momentum in the middle of the first half, redshirt junior goalkeeper Anna Markland recorded both of her saves within a couple of minutes to turn the Cougars away, keeping the match scoreless into halftime. Markland wound up collecting her sixth clean sheet of the season and 14th career solo shutout.

In the early portion of the second half, USI created a few more chances that were just off the mark. Then, SIUE increased its pace and tempo to test the Screaming Eagles’ defense in the middle of the second half. USI’s defense was up for the challenge, making multiple clearances from inside the box.

USI flipped the field position back in their favor near the 70-minute mark, as Boer fired from the inside of the top of the box with USI’s first shot on goal that forced SIUE’s goalkeeper to make a tip-save over the crossbar. The Eagles had another push about 10 minutes later, as Pochocki and redshirt junior midfielder Emma Thurston each took a shot that made SIUE’s goalkeeper make a pair of reaction saves.

The Screaming Eagles broke through in the 81st minute when Thurston played a long ball outside to Pochocki. Pochocki dribbled in from the left side and played a low cross to connect with Grafton on a diving header at the six-yard box and into the net for the game-winning goal. Thurston and Pochocki each registered their second assists of the season. USI maintained possession and closed out the game from there.

With three matches remaining in the regular season, the Screaming Eagles head back on the road Thursday for a 7 p.m. contest at Tennessee Tech University. The match can be seen with a subscription to ESPN+.

UINDY MEN’S SOCCER

HOUNDS FALL TO TOP 20 RANKED LINCOLN

JEFFERSON CITY, MO – The UIndy men’s soccer team fell in its first ranked match up of the season to No. 20 Lincoln, 3-0. 

Today’s contest against the Blue Tigers is the first regular season match against a ranked opponent since 2023 when UIndy tied No. 10 Illinois Springfield in its regular season finale.

Alex Ziermann, Jona Hogle and Kabiru Gafar had the three shots on goal for the Hounds in the first half. Gafar and Hogle’s efforts were comfortably saved by Vincent Osei, while Ziermann’s fast paced curler of a free kick from 25 yards out was met by a two-handed diving save to prevent the Greyhounds from jumping in front in the 30th minute.

The Blue Tigers grabbed the lead with five minutes to go in the first half on a Christopher Hull diving header that just squeaked past the save effort of Joey Schrand. Hull’s goal gave the Blue Tigers the momentum they needed, and doubled their lead just under two minutes out of the break, on a counter attack that ended with a Kanye Francis tap in. 

Hull punctuated the win for Lincoln when his headed effort inside the six yard box one hopped into the back of the net to give Lincoln the 3-0 lead.

UIndy was held to one shot in the second half for the first time all season. The substitute Thomas Piazza had the lone second half shot. The last time the Greyhounds were held to one shot or fewer in a half was last season against the top seeded Lewis Flyers in the GLVC Tournament.

INSIDE THE BOX

– Schrand made his first start in goal for the Greyhounds today, in place of Keerti Unnamatla who had started UIndy’s first 11 games. Schrand made five saves on the day.

– Cam Joniec made his first career appearance between the pipes for UIndy, coming on for Schrand in relief.

– Nikolas Karnesis, Truls Karlsen, and Victor Mayrink were the only three Greyhounds to play a full 90 minutes today.

– Piazza made his second appearance of the season for the Greyhounds.

UP NEXT

UINDY WOMEN’S SOCCER

HOUNDS SECURE POINT ON ROAD VERSUS LINCOLN

JEFFERSON CITY, MO – The UIndy women’s soccer team and Licnoln settled today’s contest with a 0-0 draw. 

This is only the second ever meeting between the Greyhounds and the Blue Tigers. UIndy took last year’s contest in a commanding 5-0 victory at Key Stadium.

HOW IT HAPPENED

These sides both rank in the bottom four of the GLVC offensive statistical categories, and that was reflective in today’s contest. Both teams struggled to find their footing in the first half, only managing six total shots between both teams. And while five of those six shots were on target, none caused real trouble for either teams’ goalkeeper.

Izzie Wallace had the best half chance of the half, after she pressed the Blue Tigers’ defense, causing a turnover and forcing a stop at the top of the 18-yard box from Michelle Granja.

Emily DeWitt had both of the Greyhounds’ shots that were recorded on target in the first half.

The lack of offensive production continued into the second half for both teams. There were 12 shots combined between both teams, but only two shots that caused either goalkeeper to sweat.

The first of those two quality chances came on a Lyza Shamy effort from 35 yards out in the 77th minute that almost nestled into the top left corner but was stopped by a brilliant diving save from Granja.

Kendall Ellis added two saves her six that she had on the day. Lincoln’s Madison Wimberly had the best of those two chances, but was comfortably corralled by Ellis to preserve the point for UIndy in this 0-0 draw.

INSIDE THE BOX

– Shamy tied her season high in shots and shots on goal today, with her three shots, and two shots on goal in today’s contest.

– The Hounds used the team’s fewest substitutions in one game this season, only two Greyhounds came off the bench, Ali Dobbs and Rochelle Maxson.

– Ellis posted her third game this season with at least six saves.

– The freshman Ella Higbie and Frannie Poulos both recorded a shot in today’s game.

UP NEXT

The Greyhounds will return home next weekend for a match up against UMSL on Friday Oct. 17, with kickoff set for 5 p.m.
