NFL ROUNDUP: GIANTS’ JAXSON DART WINS 1ST START OVER PREVIOUSLY UNBEATEN CHARGERS
Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart ran for a 15-yard touchdown on the opening drive of his first career start and the New York Giants earned a 21-18 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers in East Rutherford, N.J on Sunday.
Dart was 13-of-20 passing for 111 yards and another touchdown as the Giants (1-3) won for the first time after turning away from veteran QB Russell Wilson, who started the first three games. Dart added 54 yards rushing, while rookie Cam Skattebo added 79 yards on the ground.
Justin Herbert completed 23 of 41 passes for a season-low 203 yards and two interceptions for the Chargers. His two picks came after he recorded just one over the first three games of the season and led to 11 points. Rookie running back Omarion Hampton ran for 128 yards and scored a touchdown for Los Angeles (3-1).
Both teams lost an important player to injuries during the game. Giants standout receiver Malik Nabers left the game with a knee injury that is reportedly feared to be a torn ACL. Chargers left tackle Joe Alt, who moved from right tackle to replace Rashawn Slater after his season-ending injury during training camp, left the game with a high ankle sprain, according to reports.
Eagles 31, Buccaneers 25
Jalen Hurts and Philadelphia started strong and held on for a tense victory over host Tampa Bay in a clash of unbeaten teams.
Hurts had more touchdown passes (two) than incompletions (15 of 16) in the first half as the Eagles (4-0) built a 24-6 lead. He was shut out in the second half, finishing 15-of-24 passing for 130 yards. Dallas Goedert caught both touchdowns. Saquon Barkley was held to 43 rushing yards but scored a touchdown.
After last-minute wins in their first three games, the Buccaneers (3-1) fell behind quickly on a blocked punt returned for a TD and never led. Baker Mayfield threw for 289 yards with two TDs and one interception. Rookie Emeka Egbuka recorded his first career 100-yard game and caught his fourth touchdown pass in four games. Bucky Irving had 165 yards from scrimmage (63 rushing, 102 receiving).
Chiefs 37, Ravens 20
Patrick Mahomes tossed four touchdowns to become the youngest quarterback to reach 250 for his career, as Kansas City overwhelmed visiting Baltimore.
Mahomes went 25-for-37 passing for 270 yards with his first four-TD game since October 22, 2023. In his return to action, speedster Xavier Worthy caught five passes for 83 yards. Isiah Pacheco, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Tyquan Thornton and Hollywood Brown caught TDs for the Chiefs (2-2).
Ravens’ quarterback Lamar Jackson left the game in the third quarter with a hamstring injury. The two-time NFL MVP finished the game 14 of 20 for 147 yards with a touchdown and an interception. Justice Hill had two touchdowns. Baltimore (1-3) has allowed 37 or more points in each of its three losses.
Rams 27, Colts 20
Matthew Stafford connected with Tutu Atwell on an 88-yard touchdown pass with under two minutes remaining as Los Angeles rallied for a victory over visiting Indianapolis.
Stafford was 29-of-41 passing for 375 yards and three touchdowns, while Puka Nacua had 13 receptions for a career-high 170 yards. Nacua and Davante Adams also caught touchdowns as Los Angeles won after blowing a 19-point second-half lead in a loss at Philadelphia in Week 3.
Daniel Jones was 24-of-33 passing for 262 yards with one TD and two interceptions for the Colts, while Jonathan Taylor had 76 yards rushing on 17 carries.
Lions 34, Browns 10
Kalif Raymond returned a punt for a touchdown and Amon-Ra St. Brown caught two scoring passes to lead Detroit over visiting Cleveland.
Jared Goff completed 16 of 27 passes for 168 yards, two touchdowns and one interception for Detroit (3-1), which won its third straight game. Aidan Hutchison had two sacks and a forced fumble, Jahmyr Gibbs rushed for 91 yards and a score and Brown had seven catches for 70 yards and has six touchdown catches in four games.
Joe Flacco was 16-of-34 passing for 184 yards and two interceptions for the Browns (1-3). Quinshon Jenkins rushed for 82 yards and a score for Cleveland.
Patriots 42, Panthers 13
Marcus Jones sparked New England with a pair of huge punt returns, including one for a touchdown, and quarterback Drake Maye accounted for three scores as the Patriots beat visiting Carolina.
Jones set a franchise record with 167 punt return yards on three attempts. Maye threw touchdown passes to Hunter Henry and Mack Hollins and added a rushing score of his own. Stefon Diggs gained 101 receiving yards on six catches for New England (2-2).
After driving for points on the game’s opening possession, Carolina (1-3) didn’t score again until backup Andy Dalton’s 2-yard fourth-down pass to Mitchell Evans on the first play following the two-minute warning. Quarterback Bryce Young was 18 for 30 for 150 yards and a touchdown in the loss.
Steelers 24, Vikings 21
Kenneth Gainwell rushed for 99 yards and two touchdowns, Aaron Rodgers passed for another score and Pittsburgh escaped with a win over Minnesota in the NFL’s first-ever regular-season game in Dublin, Ireland.
Rodgers completed 18 of 22 passes for 200 yards along with one touchdown for Pittsburgh (3-1). DK Metcalf caught five passes for 126 yards and a touchdown. DeShon Elliott and T.J. Watt had one interception apiece for the Steelers. Pittsburgh’s defense constantly hounded Wentz, sacking him a half-dozen times.
Carson Wentz completed 30 of 46 passes for 350 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions for Minnesota (2-2). Justin Jefferson had 10 receptions for 126 yards.
Falcons 34, Commanders 27
Michael Penix Jr. completed 20 of 26 passes for 313 yards, two touchdowns and an interception on Sunday, as Atlanta posted a victory over visiting Washington.

Former Atlanta quarterback Marcus Mariota started for Washington in place of the injured Jayden Daniels for the second straight week. Mariota threw for 156 yards, two touchdowns and an interception for the Commanders (2-2). Matt Gay went 4-for-4 on field goal attempts in the loss.
Bills 31, Saints 19
Josh Allen threw two touchdown passes, ran for a touchdown and Buffalo held off New Orleans in Orchard Park, N.Y.
Allen completed 16 of 22 passes for 209 yards and the Bills (4-0) overcame their first turnover of the season as well as 11 penalties after committing just 14 through three games. Spencer Rattler passed for 126 yards and a touchdown for the Saints (0-4), who rushed for a season-best 189 yards.
Allen threw touchdowns to Dalton Kinkaid and Khalil Shakir and scored on a 5-yard run in the third to give the Bills a 21-10 lead. The Saints closed within two before Buffalo scored 10 unanswered points to seal the victory.
Jaguars 26, 49ers 21
Travis Etienne ran for 124 yards and a touchdown, Trevor Lawrence added a passing touchdown and visiting Jacksonville handed San Francisco its first loss this season.
Improving to 3-1 under first-year coach Liam Coen, Jacksonville secured the win with a big defensive play on a day that they forced four turnovers. Arik Armstead sacked 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy, causing a fumble that teammate Foyesade Oluokun recovered at the San Francisco 47 with 2:47 left.
Purdy finished 22-of-38 passing for 309 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions after missing the previous two games due to injury.
Texans 26, Titans 0
CJ Stroud threw for two touchdowns and Houston’s defense limited visiting Tennessee to 175 total yards as the Texans claimed their first victory of the season.
Stroud completed 22 of 28 passes for 233 yards as Houston (1-3) ended a three-game skid. Stroud’s 12-yard strike to Woody Marks on the first play of the fourth quarter was Houston’s first touchdown in the red zone this year. Nico Collins finished with four catches for 79 yards and Marks also racked up 69 yards on 17 carries, including an 18-yard scoring jaunt with 4:51 left.
Ward hit on just 10 of 26 passes for 108 yards as Tennessee fell to 0-4 and is 3-18 since the start of last season. The Titans managed only 10 first downs and converted just 2-of-11 third downs. Tony Pollard rushed 14 times for 64 yards for Tennessee.
Bears 25, Raiders 24
D’Andre Swift rushed for a go-ahead 2-yard touchdown with 1:34 remaining and Josh Blackwell blocked a potentially game-winning kick to boost visiting Chicago to a win against Las Vegas.
Chicago (2-2) forced four turnovers, two of which were first-half interceptions by Kevin Byard III. Rome Odunze had 69 yards and a touchdown, becoming the NFL’s only receiver to catch one touchdown pass in each of the first four weeks this season.
Las Vegas (1-3) lost for the third straight week despite a monstrous effort from rookie running back Ashton Jeanty. He ran for 138 yards and a touchdown and caught two more touchdown passes from Geno Smith, who was intercepted three times to raise his season total to seven.
JAGS COACH LIAM COEN, 49ERS DC ROBERT SALEH IN HEATED EXCHANGE AFTER GAME
Previously unbeaten San Francisco’s loss to Jacksonville on Sunday included a heated exchange after the game between 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh and Jaguars head coach Liam Coen, who had to be separated.
Saleh had raised Coen’s ire on Thursday when he remarked about the Jaguars coaches being adept at “legally” stealing opponents’ signs, which he framed as a compliment. Coen didn’t take it as such and apparently let Saleh know after Jacksonville’s 26-21 win over the 49ers in Santa Clara, Calif.
Saleh was restrained by a Niners staff member, and Coen by Jaguars offensive lineman Robert Hainsey, according to multiple reports of the midfield encounter when coaches and players from both teams more typically exchange pleasantries and congratulations.
“Not a big deal,” Coen, a first-year head coach whose team is 3-1, told reporters after the game. “I’m just going to keep that between us right now. That’s it.”
Saleh, a former New York Jets head coach and longtime NFL assistant, was not available to media after the game.
San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan, whose squad fell to 3-1, had said on Friday that Saleh was praising the Jaguars’ ability to pick up on opponents’ signs. He said on Sunday that he didn’t see their Sunday meeting.
“I don’t think you should be that sensitive about it, but it is what it is,” Shanahan said. “I’m not too worried about it.”
Shanahan said his organization doesn’t care if Saleh’s comments upset the Jaguars’ coaching staff.
“It has no effect on the game,” Shanahan said. “I think Saleh was paying them a big compliment in what they’re good at doing. It’s not illegal. He said (there is) nothing illegal about it. I think you use the word sign stealing and what the headlines get with those type of words, I think the perception of that becomes wrong.”
The origin of the comments goes back to when Saleh was asked on Thursday about the main challenge for the 49ers’ defense against the Jaguars.
“They’ve got, legally, a really advance signal-stealing type of system where they always find a way to put themselves in an advantageous situation,” Saleh said Thursday. “They do a great job with it.”
Saleh traced Coen’s coaching history with Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay, and Jaguars offensive coordinator Grant Udinski’s time coaching under Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell. Both McVay and O’Connell have worked with Shanahan or in his systems.
SEVEN FROM SUNDAY
A look at seven statistical highlights from games played during the 9:30 a.m., 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. ET windows on Sunday, September 28, the fourth week of the 2025 season.
- With three games remaining in Week 4, 10 games were within one score in the fourth quarter and eight games were decided by one score (eight points or fewer), including three games – wins by Chicago, the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle – that featured the game-winning score in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter.
The Rams’ 88-yard game-winning touchdown pass from Matthew Stafford to Tutu Atwell with 1:33 remaining in the fourth quarter marked the longest game-winning scrimmage touchdown in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter since 1960. It also marked the third-longest game-winning touchdown of any kind in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter since 1960.
The New York Giants (1-3), in rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart’s first career start, defeated the Los Angeles Chargers (3-1), 21-18, to earn their first win of the season and became the first 0-3 team to defeat a 3-0 team in exactly 17 years (Sept. 28, 2008 – Kansas City 33, Denver 19).
Dart is the first quarterback to win his first career start against a team that was 3-0 or better in 23 seasons [Marc Bulger with the St. Louis Rams on Oct. 13, 2002, against the Oakland Raiders (4-0)].
The Philadelphia Eagles improved to 4-0 for the third time in their past four seasons with a 31-25 win at Tampa Bay in Week 4. Philadelphia, with a blocked field goal touchdown in Week 3 and a blocked punt touchdown in Week 4, became the fourth team since 2000 with a blocked field goal or punt return touchdown in consecutive games, joining the 2014 Philadelphia Eagles (Sept. 28-Oct. 5), 2008 San Francisco 49ers (Oct. 12-19) and 2002 Baltimore Ravens (Nov. 24-Dec. 1).
The Buffalo Bills defeated New Orleans, 31-19, and are 4-0 the fifth time since 1990 and the first since 2020. Buffalo, from Week 11 of the 2023 season through Week 4, are the fourth team ever to win 14 consecutive home regular-season games and score at least 24 points in each game, joining the 1997-98 Denver Broncos (15 consecutive home wins), 2017-19 New England Patriots (15) and 2022-23 Dallas Cowboys (14).
- Pittsburgh quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 18 of 22 pass attempts (81.8 percent) for 200 yards and one touchdown, an 80-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver DK Metcalf, and linebacker T.J. Watt had a sack and interception in the Steelers’ 24-21 win over Minnesota in Dublin.
Rodgers’ 81.8 completion percentage in Dublin is the highest ever by a starting quarterback in an international game, surpassing Tom Brady [81.1 percent (30 of 37) on Nov. 19, 2017 with New England in Mexico City].
Rodgers has 91 career completions of 50-or-more yards and surpassed Drew Brees (90 completions) for the most completions of at least 50 yards in NFL history.
Per Next Gen Stats, Rodgers recorded an average time to throw of 2.17 seconds in Week 4, his quickest average time to throw in a game since at least 2016. On quick throws (under 2.5 seconds), he completed 13 of 16 pass attempts for 174 yards and a touchdown.

Watt has 111 sacks in 125 career games and surpassed Pro Football Hall of Famer DeMarcus Ware (110.5) for the second-most sacks by a player in his first 125 career games since 1982, when the individual sack became an official statistic, trailing only Pro Football Hall of Famer Reggie White (125.5 sacks).
Minnesota wide receiver Justin Jefferson had 10 receptions for 126 yards against Pittsburgh in Dublin, his 35th career game with at least 100 receiving yards, tied with Julio Jones (35 games) for the second-most such games by a player in his first six seasons in NFL history, trailing only Pro Football Hall of Famer Randy Moss (38 games).
- New England quarterback Drake Maye completed 14 of 17 pass attempts (82.4 percent) for 203 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions for a 155.6 rating in the Patriots’ 42-13 win over Carolina.
Maye, who is 23 years and 29 days old, is the first player ever under the age of 24 with at least two touchdown passes and a completion percentage of 75-or-higher in three consecutive games, minimum 15 pass attempts in each game. Maye completed 82.6 percent of his attempts (19 of 23) with two touchdown passes in Week 2 and completed 75.7 percent of his attempts (28 of 37) with two touchdown passes in Week 3.
- Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes passed for 270 yards and four touchdowns with no interceptions for a 124.8 rating in the Chiefs’ 37-20 win over Baltimore.
Mahomes has 252 career regular-season touchdown passes in 116 games and surpassed Aaron Rodgers (121 games) for the fastest player in NFL history to reach 250 career touchdown passes.
Mahomes is the fourth player in NFL history with at least 250 regular-season touchdown passes in his first nine seasons, joining Pro Football Hall of Famers Peyton Manning (275 touchdown passes) and Dan Marino (266) as well as Russell Wilson (267).
Mahomes has 43 career games with at least three touchdowns and surpassed Pro Football Hall of Famer Peyton Manning (42 games) for the second-most by a player in his first nine seasons in NFL history, trailing only Pro Football Hall of Famer Dan Marino (46 games).
- Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen totaled three touchdowns (two passing, one rushing) while running back James Cook had 135 scrimmage yards (117 rushing, 18 receiving) and a rushing touchdown in the Bills’ 31-19 win over New Orleans.
Allen has 45 career games with both a touchdown pass and a rushing touchdown, tied with Cam Newton (45 games) for the most such games in NFL history.
Cook is the sixth player in the Super Bowl era with at least 100 scrimmage yards and a rushing touchdown in each of his team’s first four games of a season, joining Pro Football Hall of Famers O.J. Simpson (1975 with Buffalo) and Emmitt Smith (1995 with Dallas) as well as Christian McCaffrey (2023 with San Francisco), DeMarco Murray (2014 with Dallas) and Billy Sims (1981 with Detroit).
- Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua had 13 receptions for a career-high 170 yards and one touchdown in the team’s 27-20 win over Indianapolis.
Nacua has 42 receptions this season, tied with Cooper Kupp (2022 with the Los Angeles Rams) and Michael Thomas (2018 with New Orleans) for the most receptions by a player in his team’s first four games of a season in NFL history.
Nacua is the second player ever with at least 10 catches and 100 receiving yards in three of his team’s first four games of a season, joining Cooper Kupp (2022 with the Los Angeles Rams)
Nacua joined Eric Moulds (in 2002 with Buffalo) and T.J. Houshmandzadeh (in 2007 with Cincinnati) as the only players in NFL history with at least eight catches in each of his team’s first four games of a season.
- Atlanta running back Bijan Robinson had a career-high 181 scrimmage yards (106 receiving, 75 rushing) and a rushing touchdown in the Falcons’ 34-27 win over Washington.
Robinson, who also had 100 receiving yards in Week 1, is the fifth running back in the Super Bowl era with at least 100 receiving yards in two of his team’s first four games of a season, joining Alvin Kamara (2018 with New Orleans), Pro Football Hall of Famer Thurman Thomas (1991 with Buffalo), Paul Palmer (1988 with Kansas City) and Paul Hofer (1980 with San Francisco).
- Additional notes from Sunday include:
- Las Vegas rookie running back Ashton Jeanty had 155 scrimmage yards (138 rushing, 17 receiving) and three touchdowns (two receiving, one rushing) while defensive end Maxx Crosby had three tackles for loss, three passes defensed, an interception and a forced fumble in Week 4.
Jeanty is the third rookie running back ever with at least 100 rushing yards, a rush touchdown and two touchdown receptions in a single game, joining De’Von Achane (Sept. 24, 2023 with Miami) and Kareem Hunt (Sept. 7, 2017 with Kansas City).
Crosby has 112 tackles for loss since entering the NFL in 2019 and surpassed Von Miller (111) for the fourth-most tackles for loss by a player in his first seven seasons since 2000, trailing only J.J. Watt (136 tackles for loss), Aaron Donald (131) and Pro Football Hall of Famer DeMarcus Ware (127).
- Detroit running back Jahmyr Gibbs rushed for 91 yards and a touchdown in the Lions’ 34-10 win over Cleveland.
Gibbs – who turns 24 years old following the 2025 season – has 30 career rushing touchdowns and became the seventh running back in the Super Bowl era with at least 30 rushing touchdowns prior to his 24th birthday, joining Pro Football Hall of Famers Barry Sanders (43 rushing touchdowns), Emmitt Smith (41) and Walter Payton (34) as well as Maurice Jones-Drew (34), Clinton Portis (34) and Jonathan Taylor (33).

COLLEGE FOOTBALL NEWS
OREGON MOVES TO NO. 2 BEHIND BUCKEYES IN AP POLL; REBELS, SOONERS JOIN TOP 5; ALABAMA BACK IN TOP 10
Oregon moved up to No. 2 in The Associated Press college football poll on Sunday, Mississippi earned its highest ranking since 2015, Alabama jumped back into the top 10 and Virginia was in the Top 25 for the first time in six years in the wake of a volatile weekend in which four top-10 teams lost.
Ohio State won at Washington and remains No. 1 for the fifth straight week. The Buckeyes received 46 first-place votes, six fewer than a week ago, and their 37-point lead over Oregon is the closest margin between the top two teams since the preseason poll in mid-August.
Oregon’s two-overtime win at Penn State earned the Ducks 16 first-place votes, 15 more than last week, and gave them their highest ranking since they were No. 1 for two months last year.
Miami, which had an open date, slipped one spot to No. 3 and was followed by Mississippi and idle Oklahoma. The No. 4 Rebels got a nine-rung promotion for beating LSU and have their highest ranking since they were No. 3 in late September 2015. LSU fell to No. 13, swapping places with Mississippi.
Texas A&M, Penn State, Indiana, Texas and Alabama round out the top 10.
Alabama, which had been out of the top 10 since losing its opener against Florida State by two touchdowns, has won three straight after beating Georgia for the 10th time in 11 meetings and ending the Bulldogs’ 33-game home win streak. No. 12 Georgia has its lowest ranking since it was No. 12 on Dec. 6, 2020. It’s just the second poll the Bulldogs have been out of the top 10 since 2021.
The losses by Penn State, LSU and Georgia marked the first time since 2016 that three top-five teams lost the same week in the regular season.
Florida State’s loss at Virginia was the latest development in an up-and-down season for the Seminoles. They went from unranked to No. 14 for beating ‘Bama, were in the top 10 for three weeks and plunged 10 spots to No. 18 this week.
In and out
No. 24 Virginia, not listed on any ballots in the previous poll, was rewarded for beating its highest-ranked opponent since then-No. 4 Florida State in 2005. The Cavaliers are 4-1 for a second straight season for the first time since 2003-04.
No. 25 Arizona State’s come-from-behind victory over TCU returned the Sun Devils to the Top 25 after a three-week absence.
Southern California (21) and TCU (24) dropped out.
Poll points
— Week 5 marked the second time this season that four top-10 teams lost. It also happened in Week 1, but three of the four top-10 teams had to lose that week because there were three top-10 matchups.
— Mississippi’s nine-spot rise into the top five was the biggest by any team since the Rebels jumped 12 spots to No. 3 for beating Alabama in 2015.
— Indiana has been the fastest riser over the past month, moving up 15 rungs since Week 1. Over that span, Oklahoma and Texas A&M have each risen 13 spots.
Conference call
SEC (10) — Nos. 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15, 16, 19.
Big Ten (6) — Nos. 1, 2, 7, 8, 20, 22.
Big 12 (4) — Nos. 11, 14, 23, 25.
ACC (4) — Nos. 3, 17, 18, 24.
Independent (1) — No. 21.
Ranked vs. ranked
Miami at Florida State: It will be the 27th time the Hurricanes and Seminoles face off as ranked teams. Miami is 15-11 in those games but Florida State has won the last five such contests, the last of which came in 2016.
Vanderbilt at Alabama: Crimson Tide will be looking for payback. Vanderbilt’s 40-35 win as a 23-point underdog last season marked the Commodores’ first over a No. 1 team and was widely regarded as the 2024 upset of the year.
SAM PITTMAN FIRED AT ARKANSAS; BOBBY PETRINO TAKES OVER ON INTERIM BASIS
Arkansas fired football coach Sam Pittman on Sunday, a day after the Razorbacks were trounced by Notre Dame 56-13 and moved to 2-3 on the season.
Bobby Petrino, who served as offensive coordinator under Pittman, was named interim head coach. He previously held the head coaching role from 2008-11.
Pittman was hired as Arkansas’ coach in December 2019. He had a 32-34 overall record and led the team to three bowl game victories.
“I want to thank Coach Pittman for his service and dedication to the University of Arkansas throughout his time as head coach,” athletic director Hunter Yurachek said in a statement Sunday.
“From Day 1, you could tell how much this opportunity meant to him. At this time, however, I feel a change is necessary to put our student-athletes and program in the best position to be successful. The goal for our football program is to be highly competitive within the Southeastern Conference and compete for a national championship. As we move forward in the process of finding our next head coach, I am certain we will be able to provide the necessary resources to our staff and team to reach our goals.”
Yurachek said a national search for a head coach will begin immediately, adding Petrino will be considered for the full-time job.
Pittman, 63, began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Pittsburg State, his alma mater, in 1984 and held a variety of assistant coaching jobs on the offensive side until getting his first shot as a head coach at Arkansas.
Immediately before accepting the Arkansas job, he was on the staff of Kirby Smart at Georgia. He also worked as assistant head coach and offensive line coach at Arkansas from 2013-15.
Petrino has a 119-56 record as head coach at Louisville (2003-06, 2014-18), Arkansas (2008-11) and Western Kentucky (2013). He also coached Missouri State to an 18-15 record from 2020-23 before it became an FBS program and spent 13 games as the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons in 2007. With a 3-10 record, he abruptly resigned to take the Arkansas job.
The first go-round at Arkansas for Petrino, now 64, ended when he was fired after it was discovered he was having an affair with a young staff member in the athletic department.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL
MLB ROUNDUP: REDS MAKE NL WILD CARD DESPITE LOSS TO BREWERS
Danny Jansen belted a two-run homer to pace the Milwaukee Brewers to a 4-2 comeback victory Sunday over the visiting Cincinnati Reds, who clinched their first postseason appearance since 2020 despite the loss.
Elly De La Cruz and TJ Friedl homered for the Reds, who earned a National League wild-card spot due to Sunday’s loss by the New York Mets. It is the Reds’ first postseason berth in a 162-game season since 2013.
As the No. 6 seed in the NL, the Reds begin their best-of-three wild-card series at the third-seeded Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday.
The Brewers, who have home-field advantage throughout the playoffs with the best overall record in the majors, have a bye into the NL Division Series, which begins Saturday. Milwaukee (97-65) set a franchise record for victories in a season with help from Jansen’s blow during a three-run fourth inning.
Marlins 4, Mets 0
Edward Cabrera pitched five scoreless innings as host Miami eliminated New York from playoff contention. Cabrera (8-7) allowed just two hits and worked around five walks.
The Marlins scored four runs off three pitchers in a crucial fourth inning. Reliever Brooks Raley (3-1) started that inning, but it was Ryne Stanek, who allowed RBI doubles to Eric Wagaman and Brian Navarreto.
In the next half inning, the Mets loaded the bases with two outs and Pete Alonso lined a pitch 116 mph, but it found the glove of a leaping left-fielder Javier Sanoja. The game ended with Francisco Lindor (1-for-3, two walks) grounding into a double play.
Red Sox 4, Tigers 3
Boston clinched the No. 5 seed in the American League postseason with a win over visiting Detroit.
Masataka Yoshida and David Hamilton both homered, Ceddanne Rafaela went 2-for-3, and Jarren Duran had the game-winning RBI to lead Boston past Detroit, which will be the No. 6 seed in the AL field after a late-season collapse. Cleveland trailed Detroit by 15 1/2 games in the division race on July 9.
Jose De Leon struck out eight and allowed three runs in a quality start of 6 2/3 innings. He was recalled from Triple-A Worcester before the game for his first MLB appearance since 2023. Tigers starter Chris Paddack pitched 4 1/3 innings in the loss, allowing four runs and seven hits while striking out five.
Yankees 3, Orioles 2
Ben Rice drilled two home runs, including the go-ahead solo shot in the eighth, as host New York defeated Baltimore to tie Toronto for the AL East title.
Yankees starter Luis Gil allowed two runs and three hits over five innings before four relievers each threw one scoreless inning, which included Devin Williams (4-6) in the eighth and David Bednar (27th save) in the ninth. New York, which lost the division tiebreaker, hosts Boston in the best-of-three wild-card series that begins Tuesday.
Jordan Westburg and Gunnar Henderson hit back-to-back homers in the eighth for the Orioles (75-87), who posted their first losing record since 2021. Starter Kyle Bradish allowed two runs over five innings with eight strikeouts while Rico Garcia (0-2) gave up Rice’s second blast.
Blue Jays 13, Rays 4
Alejandro Kirk homered twice, including a grand slam, as host Toronto clinched the American League East, routing Tampa Bay. Kirk also doubled and had six RBIs to help the Blue Jays to their first division title since 2015.
Addison Barger and George Springer added two-run homers. Mason Fluharty (5-2) replaced starter Kevin Gausman in the fifth inning and retired all four batters he faced.
Jonathan Aranda had two hits and three RBIs for the Rays in their final game of the season. Richie Palacios added three hits. Ian Seymour (4-3) allowed six runs and seven hits in 3 1/3 innings.
Padres 12, Diamondbacks 4
Manny Machado homered and Jackson Merrill drove in three as host San Diego swept Arizona to enter the playoffs with seven wins in its final eight regular-season games.
J.P. Sears (9-11) allowed two runs on seven hits over 5 2/3 innings for the Padres, who reeled off five consecutive hits to spark a five-run first inning. Machado, Merrill and Ryan O’Hearn each collected two of the Padres’ 11 hits.
Brandon Pfaadt (13-9) surrendered eight runs (seven earned) and six hits over four-plus innings for the Diamondbacks. Ketel Marte slugged his 28th homer to lead off the game while Geraldo Perdomo drove in his 100th run of the year in the ninth.
Cubs 2, Cardinals 0
Seiya Suzuki homered for the fifth time in four games as host Chicago capped the regular season with a three-game sweep of St. Louis.
Suzuki’s fifth-inning solo shot opened the scoring for the Cubs, who host the San Diego Padres in a best-of-three wild-card series that starts Tuesday. Starter Javier Assad (4-1) posted a season-high six strikeouts while scattering three hits and one walk over 5 1/3 innings. Jordan Wicks fanned four over the last three innings for his first save.
Kyle Leahy allowed just one hit over three innings in his first big-league start before giving way to John King (2-1), who gave up Suzuki’s homer. Thomas Saggese and Victor Scott II posted two hits apiece for the Cardinals (78-84), who closed the season on a four-game slide.
Royals 9, Athletics 2
Mike Yastrzemski homered twice to help visiting Kansas City top the Athletics in the season finale for both teams.
Carter Jensen also homered, singled twice and scored three times, while Michael Massey added four hits, an RBI and two runs scored and Maikel Garcia had two hits, two RBIs and scored a run for the Royals, who won three of their last four to finish with a winning record (82-80). Kansas City starter Cole Ragans blanked the A’s on two hits over 4 1/3 innings, striking out eight, and Daniel Lynch IV (6-2) pitched 2 1/3 innings of hitless relief to earn the win.
Brady Basso (1-1) started for the Athletics and took the loss after allowing one run on three hits over 1 1/3 innings. Nick Kurtz homered for the A’s, who went 13-11 in September to finish with 76 wins.
White Sox 8, Nationals 0
Shane Smith took a perfect game into the sixth inning before combining with three relievers on a one-hitter as visiting Chicago ended its season with a win over Washington.
Brooks Baldwin homered for the second straight game, doubled and drove in three runs for the White Sox. Dominic Fletcher also homered and doubled, and Miguel Vargas added a home run. Smith (7-8) retired the first 16 Nationals before Brady House lined a single to right with one out in the sixth. He allowed one hit over six innings and struck out eight batters without a walk. Chicago (60-102) improved noticeably on its record-setting 2024 campaign, when it went 41-121.
Washington’s Brad Lord (5-10) gave up five runs on five hits over four innings. The Nationals (66-96) suffered its sixth consecutive losing season since winning the 2019 World Series.
Guardians 9, Rangers 8 (10 innings)
Brayan Rocchio hit a three-run home run in the bottom of the 10th inning, completing a four-run rally and lifting American League Central champion Cleveland to a wild win over visiting Texas in the teams’ regular-season finale.
The Guardians will open the best-of-three wild-card round against the Detroit Tigers in Cleveland on Tuesday. Rocchio’s walk-off round-tripper came off the Rangers’ Jose Corniell (0-1), who was making his major league debut with a three-run lead.
Rowdy Tellez had staked the Rangers to an 8-5 cushion with his own three-run shot in the top of the frame. The Guardians’ Bo Naylor doubled home automatic runner George Valera to open the bottom of the 10th, and after a walk to Petey Halpin, Rocchio homered to right field.
Astros 6, Angels 2
Yainer Diaz and Ramon Urias each homered and drove in a pair of runs, propelling visiting Houston to a victory over Los Angeles.
Brice Matthews and Victor Caratini also homered for the Astros, who were eliminated from postseason contention Saturday for the first time since 2016. Starter Lance McCullers Jr. allowed one run on two hits across three innings. Astros reliever Colton Gordon (6-4) then threw five no-hit innings in relief.
Mike Trout homered in his only at-bat for the Angels before Logan O’Hoppe replaced him in the third. Sam Aldegheri (0-2) threw 4 2/3 innings, allowing four runs on seven hits. The Angels (72-90) missed the postseason for the 11th straight year and finished with a losing record for the 10th straight time.
Phillies 2, Twins 1 (10 innings)
Nick Castellanos hit a walk-off sacrifice fly in the 10th inning to lift Philadelphia to a win over visiting Minnesota.
Max Kepler added a solo home run for Philadelphia, which is headed to the postseason after winning the National League East. The Phillies finished with an MLB-best 55-26 mark at home. Ryan Jeffers went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI to lead Minnesota.
Phillies starter Cristopher Sanchez tossed 5 2/3 scoreless innings and struck out eight. Simeon Woods Richardson struck out nine over six scoreless innings for the Twins.
Giants 4, Rockies 0
Willy Adames hit his 30th home run of the season, Rafael Devers added his 35th and San Francisco, getting a combined shutout from Logan Webb and three relievers, completed a season-ending sweep of visiting Colorado.
Webb (15-11) matched his career high in wins by limiting the Rockies to three hits in 5 1/3 innings while Adames finished off his second straight 30-homer season and Devers reached the 35-homer milestone for the second time. With the win, the Giants (81-81) finished the season at .500.
Brenton Doyle and Hunter Goodman had doubles for Colorado (43-119), which wrapped up the season with six straight defeats. Their 119 losses tied for the third-most in Major League Baseball since 1900.
Braves 4, Pirates 1
Chris Sale pitched 5 2/3 strong innings, Ronald Acuna Jr. provided the offense with a home run and Atlanta closed its season with a win over visiting Pittsburgh.
Sale entered the game with one out in the second inning. He approved the idea of coming out of the bullpen to give 41-year-old veteran Charlie Morton what is expected to be the final start of his career. Morton made his major league debut with the Braves in 2008 and also pitched for Atlanta in 2021-24 before signing with them this week. In his first appearance out of the bullpen since 2012, Sale (7-5) pitched 5 2/3 innings and allowed one run on four hits and two walks with nine strikeouts.
Morton, signed by the Braves after he was released by Detroit, pitched 1 1/3 scoreless innings and left after striking out Alexander Canario on a curveball, the signature pitch of Morton’s career. Pirates starter Johan Oviedo (2-1) pitched five innings and allowed two runs on three hits and three walks with three strikeouts. Pittsburgh got its run in the sixth on an RBI single by Joey Bart.
Dodgers 6, Mariners 1
Clayton Kershaw (11-2) pitched 5 1/3 scoreless innings in the final regular-season start of his illustrious 18-year career to lead Los Angeles over host Seattle.
Shohei Ohtani hit his 55th homer of the season — breaking his own franchise record — and Hyeseong Kim and Freddie Freeman also went deep for the National League West champion Dodgers. Los Angeles will be the No. 3 seed in the NL playoffs and will host the Cincinnati Reds in the best-of-three wild-card round that begins Tuesday.
The Mariners’ Bryce Miller (4-6) allowed four runs on five hits over four innings. Eugenio Suarez drove in his squad’s lone run and finished the season with 118 RBIs.
MLB POSTSEASON FIELD, SCHEDULE, WILD-CARD MATCHUPS SET
After six months and 2,430 regular-season games, the 12-team MLB postseason field is set.
Things were entirely settled with the end of Sunday’s slate of games, during which multiple postseason spots and seeding implications remained at stake.
In the National League, the Milwaukee Brewers (97-65) and Philadelphia Phillies (96-66) finished with the two best records in baseball, earning the top two seeds and byes to the National League Division Series.
The Los Angeles Dodgers (93-69) won the NL West and are the No. 3 seed. They’ll begin the NL wild-card series against the sixth-seeded Cincinnati Reds (83-79), who earned the final NL spot thanks to a tiebreaker over the New York Mets.
The Chicago Cubs (92-70) are the No. 4 seed and will host the No. 5 seed San Diego Padres (90-72) in the other NL wild-card series.
On the American League side, the Toronto Blue Jays (94-68) clinched their first AL East title since 2015 and the No. 1 seed with Sunday’s win over Tampa Bay. The Seattle Mariners (90-72) are the No. 2 seed after winning their first AL West title since 2001. Both teams have byes to the American League Division Series round.
The Cleveland Guardians (88-74) won the AL Central title Sunday after trailing by as many as 15.5 games. That division title earns them the No. 3 seed, even though they finished the season six games worse than the No. 4 seed New York Yankees (94-68).
Cleveland will host the sixth-seeded Detroit Tigers (87-75), who it surpassed in the AL Central, in the wild-card round, while the Yankees will also play a division foe in the wild-card series, hosting the No. 5 seed Boston Red Sox (89-73).
The wild-card series are best-of-three, the division series are best-of-five and then the championship series and World Series are each best-of-seven.

METS’ PETE ALONSO WILL RE-ENTER FREE AGENT MARKET
New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso told reporters after Sunday’s season finale that he would opt out of his contract and test the free agent market again before the 2026 season.
“I love playing here … Every single day, it’s been a pleasure coming to work and putting on the orange and blue,” Alonso said after the Mets were eliminated from the postseason with a 4-0 loss to the host Miami Marlins. “I’ve really appreciated it and have been nothing but full of gratitude. Nothing is guaranteed, but we’ll see what happens. I’ve loved being a Met. Hopefully, they’ve appreciated me the same.”
Alonso, 30, has spent all seven years of his major league career with the Mets, who selected him in the second round of the 2016 MLB Draft out of Florida. He has displayed tremendous durability, playing in at least 152 games in all but the COVID-shortened 2020 campaign and drawn in for all 162 contests in both 2024 and 2025.
He bounced back from a pair of down years in 2025, recording career-bests with a .272 batting average and 41 doubles, which led the National League. His 126 RBIs were second-best in the majors.
Alonso entered free agency last winter but did not get a deal done until Feb. 5, when he inked a two-year, $54 million contract with the Mets. He has $24 million remaining on the contract for 2026, but given his recent robust campaign, stands to earn a great deal more this winter.
A five-time All-Star, including every season since 2022, Alonso was the NL Rookie of the Year in 2019. Alonso’s 264 career homers (including 38 this season) are a franchise record.

WNBA NEWS
MERCURY OUST TOP-SEEDED LYNX, ADVANCE TO WNBA FINALS
Alyssa Thomas had 23 points and 10 assists, Satou Sabally scored 21 points and the host Phoenix Mercury advanced to the WNBA Finals with an 86-81 comeback victory over the game but crippled Minnesota Lynx in Game 4 of their semifinal series Sunday night.
DeWanna Bonner had 11 of her 13 points and all three of her 3-pointers in the fourth quarter, when the Mercury outscored the Lynx 31-13 to overcome a 68-55 deficit and advance to the finals for the first time since falling to the Chicago Sky in 2021.
The Lynx played without star center Napheesa Collier, who suffered a left ankle injury in the final seconds of the Mercury’s 84-76 victory in Game 3 on Friday and watched the game from the bench in a walking boot.
Minnesota’s Kayla McBride had 14 of her playoff career-high 31 points when the Lynx took the upper hand in the third quarter but could not hold on. Courtney Williams had 20 points and Jessica Shepard had career playoff-high 14 points while starting for Collier.
The finals are to begin Friday, with the first two games at the site of the higher seed. The fourth-seeded Mercury knocked off the top-seeded Lynx in their best-of-five series. The second-seeded Las Vegas Aces and the sixth-seeded Indiana Fever meet in Game 5 of their series Tuesday.
The WNBA Finals will be a best-of-seven for the first time in league history. Phoenix last won a championship in 2014.
The Mercury scored 19 of the first 21 points in the fourth period, and the second of Bonner’s two 3-pointers gave them a 72-70 lead with 3:39 remaining.
McBride and Bonner traded 3-pointers as the Mercury stayed ahead 77-73. McBride’s sixth three made it 77-76 with 1:04 remaining but Bonner followed with two free throws for a 79-76 lead with 42 seconds left.
After a McBride miss, Thomas made a driving layup for an 81-76 lead with 27 seconds left. The Lynx later got within three on Natasha Hiedeman’s 3-pointer with 5.2 seconds remaining before Kahleah Copper closed the scoring with two free throws.
Associate head coach Eric Thibault coached the Lynx while head coach Cheryl Reeve served a one-game suspension for her conduct and comments toward the officials during and after Game 3.
Thomas was two rebounds short of her second playoff triple-double.
The Mercury had outscored 21-9 in the fourth quarter of the Game 3.
The Mercury trailed by 14 in the first quarter, drew even at 38 at halftime and did not lead until Copper’s 3-pointer on their first possession of the second half.
The Lynx put together another spurt including two threes from McBride for 55-45 lead midway through the third.
Sabally had 24, 23 and 21 points in the final three games of the series, all Mercury wins.
ALIYAH BOSTON, FEVER FORCE DECISIVE GAME 5 VS. ACES
Aliyah Boston had 24 points and 14 rebounds, Kelsey Mitchell scored 25 and the short-handed Indiana Fever defeated the Las Vegas Aces 90-83 in Game 4 to tie their best-of-five semifinal series Sunday in Indianapolis.
Odyssey Sims added 18 for the sixth-seeded Fever, who forced a decisive Game 5 on Tuesday in Las Vegas despite playing the postseason without All-Star Caitlin Clark and three other injured guards.
A’ja Wilson had 31 points and nine rebounds, Jackie Young added 18 points and nine assists and Chelsea Gray chipped in 12 points and nine assists for the second-seeded Aces.
Kiersten Bell’s 3-pointer and NaLyssa Smith’s layup started the third-quarter scoring and pulled Las Vegas within 46-43. Boston made two free throws for Indiana’s first points and she followed with her team’s first field goal of the period as part of a three-point play that produced a 51-46 lead.
Chelsea Gray answered with a 3-pointer before the Fever opened a 57-50 lead. Wilson scored the Aces’ last nine points as they closed within one point before the Fever scored the final four to take a 67-62 lead into the fourth quarter.
Young made a 3-pointer to start the fourth before Howard and Sims each made two free throws to give Indiana a six-point lead. Wilson made consecutive baskets to get Las Vegas within 71-69.
Boston sank a layup for the Fever’s first field goal of the quarter after nearly five minutes and Sims added a jumper for a 75-69 lead.
Young converted a three-point play, but Boston answered with a jumper from the lane and Mitchell added three points to help build an 82-75 lead with 1:01 left.
The lead changed hands three times and the score was tied three times before Natasha Howard’s basket gave the Fever the biggest lead of the first quarter at 15-10. Wilson scored four points to help the Aces get within 23-21 at the end of the period.
Young’s short jumper gave Las Vegas a 29-28 lead and started a stretch of eight lead changes. Sims scored five points and Mitchell added four as Indiana took a 46-38 lead into halftime.
JUJU WATKINS DECLARES SHE’LL SIT OUT 2025-26 SEASON
Reigning NCAA women’s basketball player of the year JuJu Watkins announced Sunday that she will not play during the 2025-26 season.
Watkins, who tore the ACL in her right knee against Mississippi State during the second round of the NCAA Tournament in March, says she will spend her third year at USC focusing on her recovery.
The 6-foot-2 guard averaged 23.9 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game last year to earn consensus All-American honors and national player of the year awards while leading the Trojans to a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
After Watkins’ injury, the Trojans lost to Paige Bueckers and eventual national champion Connecticut in the Elite Eight.
“These last few months have been filled with a lot of healing, rest and reflection,” Watkins announced. “Recovering from this injury hasn’t been easy, and I want to say thank you – your love, support and kind words have truly lifted me up during one of the most challenging times in my life.
“Because you’ve been with me every step of the way, I wanted you to hear it from me directly that, following the advice of my doctors and trainers, I will sit out this season and fully focus on continuing to recover so I can come back to the game I love.”
“JuJu’s health and well-being are our top priority,” USC head coach Lindsay Gottlieb said in a statement. “And we fully support her decision to focus on recovery this season. While we will certainly miss her impact on the court, she continues to play a vital role in our program as a leader and teammate.”
In 67 games over her first two seasons, Watkins has piled up 1,709 points, 472 rebounds, 225 assists, 150 steals and 130 3-pointers while shooting 41.2 percent from the field, 32.2 percent on 3-pointers and 83.6 percent at the free-throw line.

AGENT: AL HORFORD TO SIGN MULTIYEAR DEAL WITH WARRIORS
Entering his 19th season in the NBA, free agent Al Horford will be the Warriors’ starting center after making a verbal commitment to Golden State on Sunday, per an ESPN report.
Horford’s agent, Jason Glushon, told ESPN on Sunday that the 39-year-old will sign a multiyear deal to head west after spending seven of the last nine seasons with the Boston Celtics. Horford won a title with Boston in 2024.
Per the report, Horford’s agent and the Warriors have yet to finalize the contract and are awaiting a decision from restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga.
One of four players in NBA history with 900 made 3-pointers and 1,300 blocks along with Rasheed Wallace, Brook Lopez and Clifford Robinson, Horford should blend in nicely with the Warriors’ core of Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler III and Draymond Green. The veteran 6-foot-9, 240-pound center has shot 41 percent from beyond the arc and sunk more than 100 3-pointers in each of the past three seasons.
Last season with the Celtics, Horford — a five-time All-Star — started 42 of 60 games and averaged 9.0 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists while connecting on 36.3 percent of his 3-point attempts.
Over his 18 seasons, the No. 3 overall pick in the 2007 draft by the Atlanta Hawks has averaged 12.9 points, 7.9 rebounds and 3.2 assists while shooting 37.7 percent from 3-point range in 1,138 games (1,078 starts).
Horford spent his first nine seasons with Atlanta (2007-16), then joined the Celtics for three seasons (2016-19) before playing one season apiece for the Philadelphia 76ers (2019-20) and Oklahoma City Thunder (2020-21). Named to the 2017-18 All-Defensive Team, he rejoined Boston for the 2021-22 season.

EUROPE WINS RYDER CUP 15-13 AFTER U.S. SUNDAY SURGE
FARMINGDALE, N.Y. — Two years ago in Italy, a jubilant Rory McIlroy made a bold guarantee.
“I think one of the biggest accomplishments in golf right now is winning an away Ryder Cup,” McIlroy said. “And that’s what we’re going to do at Bethpage.”
It took far, far longer than the crowds expected, but consider the promise fulfilled.
Shane Lowry of Ireland drained a 6-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole, and Team Europe survived a near-unprecedented rally by the United States team to prevail 15-13 and hoist the 45th Ryder Cup on Sunday at Bethpage Black.
As defending champions, the Europeans needed to reach 14 points to ensure the Cup stayed with them. It took until Lowry’s match, the eighth of the day, for that to happen.
England’s Tyrrell Hatton pushed his team to the 14 1/2 mark required to win outright when he halved with Collin Morikawa — nearly five hours and 45 minutes after singles began. Robert MacIntyre of Scotland won his final hole against Sam Burns to split the final match.
The Americans were outplayed throughout Friday and Saturday and needed 10 of an available 12 points to pull off the largest comeback in Ryder Cup history. They wound up dominating singles 8 1/2-3 1/2; the only European player to win his match was Sweden’s Ludvig Aberg, 2 and 1 over Patrick Cantlay.
It marks Team Europe’s 11th win in the last 15 Ryder Cups and its second in a row under captain Luke Donald of England. The result also ended a five-match winning streak for the hosts in the event. No visiting team had won the Ryder Cup since Europe’s “Miracle at Medinah” comeback in 2012.
First-time U.S. captain Keegan Bradley declared the unbeaten Donald the greatest European captain of all time.
“It’s just taking the time and having the care that you want to do everything you can to kind of give these guys the best opportunity,” Donald said. “You want to create an environment where they can succeed. These are 12 amazing players, we know that. You’re just trying to, again, put them in a position where they feel comfortable.”
Lowry was 1 down to Russell Henley through 16 holes. At No. 17, Henley missed a birdie that could have put away the match. He then hit a remarkable shot from the sand onto the 18th green, only to miss another 10-footer that would have sealed his victory.
Lowry holed his short putt to snag the half-point, and several teammates joined him on the green in raucous celebration.
“I didn’t envision myself going up the 18th needing a birdie to retain the Ryder Cup. It was like the worst two hours of my life,” Lowry said with a laugh. “It was horrible. It was.
“But I said to my caddie walking down 18, ‘I’ve got an opportunity to do the greatest thing I’ve ever done today,’ and I did it. And I’m very proud of myself.”
With clutch performances from Cameron Young, Justin Thomas and Scottie Scheffler — who earned his first point after an 0-4-0 start — Bradley and the Americans ensured a more forgiving margin than their 16 1/2-11 1/2 loss in 2023. Still, the United States will have plenty to address before the 2027 Ryder Cup in Ireland, having resoundingly lost the first four sessions as the home team.
Bradley claimed his players in good spirits Saturday night.
“I was honestly pretty surprised. I was on a team that got smoked (in 2014) and we did not have that feeling,” Bradley said. “When we went to bed, I was just astonished at how these guys were like, ‘We’re going to win this,’ and they believed it. They weren’t just saying it. I could see the belief in their eyes. I could see it this morning.”
Europe entered the day leading 11 1/2 points to 4 1/2, but the score changed to 12-5 before a match started.
Norway’s Viktor Hovland withdrew from singles after hurting his neck Saturday morning and being unable to move it when he awoke Sunday. The U.S. took Harris English out of the lineup under the event’s rarely used “envelope rule,” and the match counted as a draw.
The first three matches played out in dramatic fashion and were all square when they reached the 18th hole.
New York native Young won the opening match against English stalwart Justin Rose, 1 up, on a 12-foot birdie putt. Rose had charged back from 3 down by birdieing Nos. 13, 14 and 16, which included an improbable third shot at the par-5 13th from near a TV tower to 5 feet.
Thomas dropped his putter and exploded in celebration when he birdied from 12 feet to prevail 1 up against England’s Tommy Fleetwood — who was 4-0-0 entering the day.
The biggest rally belonged to Bryson DeChambeau against England’s Matt Fitzpatrick. DeChambeau went 5 down through seven holes but won Nos. 8 and 9 to take momentum to the back nine. He birdied Nos. 14 and 15, and the match became tied when Fitzpatrick’s par save at the par-3 17th lipped out. But both players missed long birdie putts at No. 18 and they halved the match.
Xander Schauffele’s 4-and-3 win over Spaniard Jon Rahm and Scheffler’s 1-up win over McIlroy of Northern Ireland boosted the Americans further, but Aberg earned the lone European win to make it 13 1/2-10 1/2.
“It was one of those situations where I just thought back to what Xander said, ‘It’s not over ’til the whistle blows,’” DeChambeau said. “And I wasn’t willing to give up for this team.
“I fought my ass off today for this team, for this country, and we all fought hard today. You can see, it reflects in the leaderboard and what we did today.”
Nevertheless, the “U-S-A” chants that rang out throughout the afternoon faded to European “Oles.”
And where was McIlroy? At the center of the celebration, enjoying a guarantee that came true.
“It’s nice to be right. I’m not right all the time,” said McIlroy, hoarse from shouting, European flag draped on his shoulders. “I have absolute confidence in this team, absolute confidence in our leader, Luke Donald. The vice captains, the backroom staff, the things that people don’t see behind the scenes.
“I think we won in Rome, and the wheels were set in motion to try to do something that had not been done in over a decade.”
U.S. RYDER CUP OPERATION FACES HARD QUESTIONS AFTER HOME DEFEAT
FARMINGDALE, N.Y. — The home fans here on Long Island were treated to a thrilling finish to the 45th Ryder Cup, as the United States nearly completed a historic comeback from seven points down before falling 15-13 to Team Europe.
But the Ryder Cup is a three-day competition, and the final margin — produced by an 8 1/2-3 1/2 advantage in Sunday singles — obscures the deeper issues at play for the Americans, who were shellacked in foursomes and fourball.
The U.S. is now 4-11 in the event since 1995. PGA Tour pro Michael Kim, an American, stood out among the many critics looking at the bigger picture Sunday.
“I hope this finish doesn’t stop Team USA from looking at the entire process that led to the first two days,” Kim wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “Clearly there are issues that need to be fixed.”
What those issues are, exactly, is up for debate.
Speaking to reporters after his team’s narrow loss, first-time captain Keegan Bradley welcomed the brunt of the criticism while defending the PGA of America, which organizes the U.S. Ryder Cup team every two years.
“The PGA of America put me in an amazing position to succeed,” Bradley said. “They gave me every resource. They gave me every option. I had everything at my fingertips. This is no one’s fault but mine.
“When you are the leader of the team and you’re the coach, the captain, whatever you want to call it, and you lose, you have to take the blame.”
Bradley went on to insist that Team Europe played better than the Americans this week, which was a common refrain over Friday and Saturday, particularly when it came to putting.
With his team seated around him Sunday night, Bradley was asked what he thought he didn’t do as well as his European counterpart, Luke Donald. From the far corner of the stage, Justin Thomas cut in and defended his captain.
“We needed to make more putts,” Thomas said. “That’s what Keegan needed, he needed us to make more putts. That’s what he needed to do.”
The top point-earners were Xander Schauffele and Ryder Cup rookie Cameron Young, playing not far from his hometown of Scarborough, N.Y., and with all the pressure that entails. They each went 3-1-0 in four matches.
But four players failed to win a single match: captain’s picks Collin Morikawa and Sam Burns and auto-qualifiers Russell Henley and Harris English. Bryson DeChambeau, described by Bradley to start the week as the team’s “X factor,” went 1-3-1, as did Ryder Cup vet Patrick Cantlay.
Most disappointing of all was Scottie Scheffler, who became the first player under the current format to play the first four sessions and lose all four. He went head to head with McIlroy on Sunday, the first time the No. 1 and No. 2 players in the world rankings faced off in singles, and won 1 up to avoid a dubious 0-5-0 record.
“You absolutely need your big guns to fire,” Donald said, “and that’s what we are proud of, that the U.S. guys’ big guys, their guns, they didn’t get as many points as ours.”
Though some of Bradley’s selections have come into question, the PGA of America may also need to re-examine how the six automatic qualifiers earn their place on the team. Henley and English racked up points over a nearly two-year span but were not in great form at the end of the summer.
The wider American operation also took a hit due to the subset of fans who hurled verbal abuse toward McIlroy, his teammates and his wife, including heckling him while he was addressing his ball and preparing to swing. The comedian that the PGA of America hired as an emcee, Heather McMahan, stepped down late Saturday night after she encouraged “(Expletive) you, Rory” chants.
Bradley and Thomas denied they bore any responsibility for the recklessness of those fans.
One mistake Bradley did regret was the way the U.S. laid out Bethpage Black. He expected faster greens, which he believed would give the Americans an advantage because their PGA Tour-seasoned players were more used to speedy greens than Europeans who spend some or all of their time overseas.
Instead, Team Europe dominated the putting contest.
“For whatever reason, that wasn’t the right way to set the course up,” Bradley said. “The greens were as soft as I’ve ever seen greens without it raining. Especially here, it can get pretty firm, and they never firmed up.”
Bradley, at 39 the youngest Ryder Cup captain since Arnold Palmer, was seen as a bold choice to shake up the Americans’ doldrums in this event. Until Sunday, the choice was looking like a disaster. It’s unclear if he will get the opportunity again.
“It was a unique approach, and like I said, I had to learn on the fly,” Bradley said. “But I also had been on a lot of these teams, and I had the resources of all the vice captains and all the previous captains, as well, that helped me.
“I think the goal was to give the captaincy a fresh face, a different way to go about things. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out. But we have some momentum going forward. I think we can continue down this road, and I’ll help out the best I can to help the next captain or the next whoever it is.”

CHASE ELLIOTT BANGS PAST DENNY HAMLIN FOR HOLLYWOOD CASINO 400
Chase Elliott roared to the front during a wild, two-lap shootout in overtime Sunday afternoon to win the Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kan. — the middle race of the NASCAR Cup Series’ Round of 12 playoffs.
After two cautions, highlighted by Zane Smith’s No. 38 Ford riding the wall in Turns 3 and 4 on two wheels and flipping over twice, Elliott made his move from fifth. He banged doors off the final turn with leader Denny Hamlin, who ran Bubba Wallace’s No. 23 up the track.
Elliott won the race back to the line and beat Hamlin by 0.609 seconds for his second victory to advance to the Round of 8.
The Toyotas of Christopher Bell, Chase Briscoe and Wallace rounded out the top five.
After polesitter Briscoe lost the lead to Hamlin, Kyle Larson got into the mix and was leading when Cody Ware’s No. 51 Ford suffered tire failure and hit the wall coming off Turn 3 on Lap 56 for the first caution.
Running on older tires than the Hendrick Motorsports cars of Larson and Elliott, Hamlin kept his No. 11 Toyota out front and beat Larson, Elliott, Bell and Ross Chastain for the top segment points.
In a second stage that featured a lone caution for a frontstretch wreck between Ryan Preece and John Hunter Nemechek, Bell found the point early and led by under two seconds at the 120-lap mark. However, Hamlin moved past his JGR teammate, managed the top spot and beat Bell’s No. 20 by about 3/10ths of a second for his sixth stage win this season.
With 94 laps remaining, Hamlin and Elliott went side-by-side down the backstretch, but the Hendrick driver edged ahead for the lead with Hamlin and Bell within earshot.
The race’s biggest incident occurred as cars stacked up on the Lap 51 restart heading to Turn 1. The Team Penske Fords of Joey Logano and Austin Cindric were involved, with Cindric’s No. 2 being turned and hitting the wall.
Hamlin had a one-second lead over Bell with 15 laps to go and appeared to be headed to win his 60th NASCAR Cup Series race, but the seventh caution (for debris on the 1.5-mile track) flew with 15 circuits left. Hamlin’s jackman then had trouble, and the No. 11 restarted sixth with Bell leading.

TUTU ATWELL MAKES A LATE 88-YARD TD CATCH, AND RAMS RALLY PAST COLTS 27-20 AFTER MITCHELL’S FUMBLE
INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Tutu Atwell caught an 88-yard touchdown pass from Matthew Stafford with 1:33 to play, and the Los Angeles Rams rallied to end the Indianapolis Colts’ unbeaten start to the season with a 27-20 victory Sunday.
Daniel Jones passed for 262 yards for the Colts (3-1), but Indy couldn’t overcome receiver Adonai Mitchell’s mind-boggling fumble right before he crossed the goal line with what was about to be a 76-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter.
The Colts also had a 53-yard rushing TD by Jonathan Taylor taken off the board by a holding call on Mitchell with 2:15 to play.
Stafford passed for 375 yards and three touchdowns for the Rams (3-1), and he hit Puka Nacua for a 9-yard score with 3:20 left. Nacua finished with 13 catches for 170 yards.
After the Rams’ defense quickly got the ball back, Stafford made a brilliant throw on the next snap for the decisive score by Atwell, the speedy receiver who frequently goes underutilized in Sean McVay’s offense. Atwell’s TD catch was only his second reception of the season.
Kam Curl then made his second interception of the day with 53 seconds left, and the Rams ran out the clock on a thrilling win.
Michael Pittman Jr. caught a go-ahead TD pass with 11:34 to play for the Colts, who couldn’t start 4-0 for the first time in 16 years despite dominating the first 25 minutes of the second half.
The game likely will be remembered for that incredible mistake by Mitchell, who made a long reception and beat two Rams defensive backs down the sideline early in the third quarter. As he held out the ball for an apparent celebration of his first career TD, he lost control and fumbled for a touchback instead of a 76-yard scoring catch.
Davante Adams caught a TD pass 7 seconds before halftime, but the Rams were shut out in the second half until Nacua capped an 83-yard drive with his gritty TD catch on fourth-and-2.
Jones made his first two turnovers in a Colts uniform when Indianapolis’ first and final drives ended in interceptions by Curl, but the veteran quarterback was mostly sharp for the rest of the afternoon, going 24 of 33.
Colts rookie tight end Tyler Warren scored his first career rushing TD on fourth down in the second quarter. Los Angeles significantly outgained Indianapolis in the first half, but two holding penalties deep in Colts territory forced the Rams to kick two field goals.
The Rams’ offense finally drove 96 yards right before halftime, with Adams making his third TD catch for his new team.
Mitchell should have put the Colts ahead after he outfought Emmanuel Forbes to make his long catch and sprinted to the goal line — but he lost control at the Rams 1 in a disciplinary lapse that left him disconsolate on the sideline moments later.
But the Colts’ defense responded, and Jones capped a 90-yard drive with a 2-yard TD pass to Pittman, a USC product from the Woodland Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles.
Stafford and Kyren Williams botched a handoff on the Rams’ first snap after Pittman’s TD. Adetomiwa Adebawore recovered deep in Los Angeles territory, but the Colts could only manage Spencer Shrader’s second field goal.
Injuries
Colts RB Tyler Goodson was ruled out with a groin injury in the second half.
Up next
The Colts host the Raiders on Sunday, Oct. 5.
The Rams host the 49ers on Thursday, Oct. 2.

INDIANA FEVER
BOSTON’S PLAYOFF CAREER-HIGH 24 HELPS FEVER FORCE GAME 5
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — All-Star center Aliyah Boston finished with 24 points and 14 rebounds and Kelsey Mitchell scored 25 points to help the Indiana Fever avoid elimination in the WNBA semifinals with a 90-83 victory over the second-seeded Las Vegas Aces on Sunday.
The best-of-five series is now tied 2-2 with a winner-take-all Game 5 set for Tuesday in Las Vegas. The winner faces either top-seeded Minnesota or fourth-seeded Phoenix.
Indiana closed it out after Las Vegas mistakenly called a timeout it did not have with 30.1 seconds left in the game. The technical foul gave Indiana one free throw and possession of the ball, and the Fever made all three free throws to take an 87-77 lead.
The Fever broke out their “Stranger Things” uniforms, perhaps trying to send a message it wouldn’t let the high-powered Aces run roughshod over a team missing four key players — Caitlin Clark, Sophie Cunningham, Sydney Colson and Aari McDonald — because of injuries.
Boston and Mitchell then delivered it by leading the Fever to their second straight elimination-game victory in this year’s playoffs. They won the final two games against Atlanta in a best-of-three first-round series.
Boston went 10 of 13 at the free-throw line while Mitchell had four assists. Odyssey Sims had 18 points and made four key free throws to close it out. Lexie Hull added seven points, seven rebounds and four steals.
The Aces were led, as usual, by four-time league MVP A’ja Wilson, who had 31 points after a poor shooting performance in Game 3. Wilson had her 17th career playoff 30-point game to move within one of the league record that is shared by Diana Taurasi and Breanna Stewart. She became the seventh player in league history to hit the 1,000-point mark in her playoff career with 1,024 and added nine rebounds, four steals, three blocks and three assists.
Jackie Young had 18 points and nine assists, and Chelsea Gray was the only other Las Vegas player to reach double figures. She had 12 points.
Indiana led nearly the entire first quarter and retook the lead for good when it closed the first half on an 11-2 spurt to take a 46-38 halftime lead. The Fever never trailed in the second half, but the Aces certainly made it difficult.
They forced a quick timeout after scoring the first five points of the third quarter and closed to 71-69 midway through the fourth. Boston and Sims answered that run with back-to-back baskets and Indiana managed to get enough loose balls and make enough free throws to close it out aided by Las Vegas mistakenly calling an extra timeout, which resulted in a technical foul and Indiana getting possession.
Mitchell made the free throw and Sims followed with two more for an 87-77 lead.

After a short hiatus from the tournament, this marks the third straight year that Purdue will compete at the Windon. Two years ago, the Boilermakers won the event with a school-record score of 814. Last season, Purdue finished a disappointing 14th place.
Thirteen of the nation’s top 100, including nine of the top 50, from last year’s final national ranking appear in the field. The Boilermakers are the fifth-highest ranked team from last year to compete. Purdue is 2-1-0 early on against the field, defeating Indiana and Michigan State, with a head-to-head loss to Illinois.

Coincidentally, Glen View Club is located in Golf, Illinois. The par 72 course will measure 6,368 yards for the tournament.
Glen View Club has hosted the U.S. Amateur (1902), the U.S. Open (1904) and five Western Opens.
TOURNAMENT HISTORY
Purdue is no stranger to the Windy City Collegiate Classic. Starting in the fall of 2008, the Boilermakers competed in every edition but one (fall 2012) until the fall of 2021 (2020 event cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic).
The Boilermakers captured the tournament title in their first three appearances, claiming a 3-peat in 2008, 2009 and 2010.
A 279 during the 2009 Windy City Collegiate was a then-school record for lowest round as a team; the mark still stands tied for sixth in program history.
Last year, the tournament was held at Westmoreland Country Club in Wilmette, Illinois.
LAST TIME OUT
In a tournament shortened to 36 holes due to heavy storms on the first day, sophomore Lauren Timpf led Purdue to an eighth-place finish at the Canadian Collegiate Invitational (Sept. 22-23).
She played two rounds at Beacon Hall Golf Club even par, adding a 73 (+1) after pacing the Boilermakers with a 71 (-1) in the opening round to secure the ninth-best two-round total in Purdue history.
Timpf placed in a tie for 13th on the individual leaderboard to secure her third Top 15 performance in as many tournaments this season. She ranked third in the field in par-4 scoring (-1).
Freshman Luana Valero tied for 23rd (+3), the best finish as a Boilermaker in her young career. The Medellin, Colombia, native matched Timpf for Purdue’s lowest final round, carding a 1-over 73 that featured four birdies.
TIMPF TIME
Lauren Timpf ended her freshmen campaign playing some of her best golf and stepping up to help Purdue return to the NCAA Championships. As a sophomore, she has become a team leader this season.
The Macomb, Michigan, native leads the team in stroke average (71.75), team-low round (5), rounds of par-or-better (4), rounds in the 60s (2), birdies (28) and pars (94).
Timpf has finished in the Top 15 in all three tournaments, while pacing Purdue in two of them.
She placed third in her home state of Michigan, posting a career-low 2-under 211 (70-69-72) at the Wolverine Invitational to earn the best finish of her collegiate career. Timpf led the field in birdies with 12, four each round.
Last week in Canada, her even-par 144 (71-73) was the ninth-lowest 36-hole total in program history. She ranked third in par-4 scoring (-1) and tied for 13th on the individual leaderboard to lead the team in both rounds.
WINNING WITH BYRD AND GUIAO
Purdue Women’s Golf is in its fourth season under the leadership of head coach Zack Byrd and assistant coach Lauren Guiao. Over the past three years, the dynamic duo has brought the winning tradition back to West Lafayette.
Purdue has won five tournaments under Byrd and Guiao, the most in a three-year span since winning six from 2012-14.
After starting off the 2024-25 season with a win at the Boilermaker Classic, a victory at the Coach Mo Classic gave the Boilermakers multiple tournament wins in consecutive seasons for the first time since a six-year stretch from the fall of 2005 to the spring of 2011.
Purdue has also claimed victories at the 2023 Boilermaker Classic, the 2023 Tulane Classic and the 2023 Mary Fossum Invitational with Byrd at the helm.
The Boilermakers have advanced to nationals in each of the past two seasons. With the men making the NCAA Championships as well, Purdue was the only Big Ten school and one of only seven programs nationally to send both men’s and women’s teams to the national stage the past two years.
Purdue collected just one tournament title in the five seasons prior to Byrd’s arrival.
NEXT ON THE TEE
The Boilermakers conclude the fall by going to Chapel Hill, North Carolina for the Ruth’s Chris Tar Heel Invitational (Oct. 17-19).
A LOOK AT THE SPRING SCHEDULE
Flipping the calendar to 2026, the Boilermakers serve as hosts of the annual Purdue Puerto Rico Classic at Grand Reserve Golf Club in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico (Feb. 1-3). A regular on the schedule from 2003-20, Byrd brought the tournament back for the third straight season.
Purdue returns to two more tournaments that were on the schedule the past two seasons. The Boilermakers tee it up at the Spartan Sun Coast Invitational in Sarasota, Florida (Feb. 15-16) and the Briar’s Creek Invitational on Johns Island, South Carolina (March 16-17). Nestled in between the two events is the one-day Shootout at Wachesaw at Murrells Inlet, also in Byrd’s home state of South Carolina (March 9).
Ending the month of March, the Boilermakers travel to St. Augustine, Florida to defend their title at the Coach Mo Classic (March 30-31). Serving as the final tune-up before the conference championship, Purdue welcomes teams back to West Lafayette for the Boilermaker Spring Classic. The spring tournament will take place on the other BBGC Pete Dye course, Ackerman-Allen (April 12-13).
After venturing to the east coast the past two years to compete for a conference title, Purdue travels more than 2,000 miles for the 2026 Big Ten Championships. The league tournament is set to take place at Oakmont Country Club in Glendale, California (April 24-26).
Rounding out the schedule, the Boilermakers plan to hear their names called for postseason play in one of six NCAA Regionals (May 11-13) with sights set on a third straight trip to the NCAA Championships in Carlsbad, California (May 22-27).

The Jaguars (2-8-1, 1-2 HL) were dominant throughout, earning a 13-5 shot advantage and limiting the Vikings (3-4-4, 0-1-3 HL) to just three shots on goal. Sarah Bambrick earned the win in goal with three saves in 65 minutes before senior Arissa North completed the shutout with 25 clean minutes.
“I’m so happy for these players. They’ve worked so hard. We’ve had some tough defeats this year, but they’ve never given up. They keep fighting, keep grinding. We fought through the injuries and this was a great, hard earned road league victory,” head coach Angela Berry White said. “Since day one, our goal is to get better with each practice and each match and that remains. We had three different goal scorers today. Keilah Muldrow brought the energy and was a game changer coming off the bench.
It was great to see our goalkeepers and our defense get the clean sheet. Our midfield controlled the tempo of the game and helped us dominate possession.”
Offensively, Frey broke the ice in the 31st minute, thanks to service from Muldrow. Freshman JoJo Murphy sent the speedy Muldrow free up the left side and Muldrow outran her defender, allowing her space to center a pass. She delivered a strike to Frey, who redirected a shot past the CSU keeper for her first tally of the season.
Just before halftime, CSU all but gift wrapped a second goal as Muldrow’s cross from the left side bounded off Viking goalkeeper Hayleigh Lewis. Guenther, making her first appearance in just over a month, was in the right spot and tapped home the rebound with her left foot for her first collegiate score. Between the two scores, the Jags just missed adding another when junior Lindsey Castillo rang a shot off the crossbar in the 35th minute.
IU Indy continued to control the match throughout the second half before tacking on some late insurance. This time, Guenther set Muldrow free and the sophomore completed a four-point game with a delivery into the center of the net.
Muldrow had just four career points in 20 collegiate appearances before Sunday’s heroics.
“Getting all three points on the road was huge for us. We’ve been in a real slump lately,” Muldrow said. “So this really shows the fight and determination we had as a team and gives us a lot of confidence moving forward.”
Junior Caroline Kelley finished with a game-high three shots and Frey and Guenther added two apiece. The victory was just the Jags’ second ever in Cleveland first since 2004 as IU Indy improved to 9-5-2 all-time against the Vikings.
The Jaguars will continue Horizon League play on Saturday, Oct. 4 when they face Detroit Mercy at 2:00 p.m. on ESPN+.

FIELD HOCKEY LOSES DEFENSIVE BATTLE IN OT TO KENT STATE
MUNCIE, Ind. – The Ball State field hockey team (3-8, 1-2 MAC) played one of its best defensive games of the season but unfortunately lost 1-0 in overtime to Kent State (2-7, 1-2 MAC) Sunday afternoon at the Briner Sports Complex.
Both teams came out aggressive on defense putting pressure on one another midfield throughout the 60-minute duration of today’s game. It wasn’t a lack of effort by any means offensively as both squads had 17 shots apiece including nine shots on goal. Penalty corners were nearly even as well with the Golden Flashes leading 5 to 4.
As each period ended the need to score became increasingly prominent. Both Emma van Hal and Jessica Rochat used their leadership to try and score for the Cardinals with four shots apiece. van Hal along with teammate Jade Vandevoorde each had two shots on goal apiece, but neither could connect with the back of the cage.
Kent State struggled as well offensively despite earning two penalty corners in the third frame while Ball State drew one in the final minutes of regulation. Ultimately, the lack of offense eventually would cause the contest to go to the extra period.
In overtime, with just barely two minutes left on the clock, the Golden Flashes Emma Rolston managed to escape her BSU defender and score the winning goal for Kent State.
The Ball State field hockey team continues Mid-American Conference action when it travels to James Madison next Friday for a 2 pm ET contest in Harrisonburg, Va.

SOUTHERN INDIANA WOMEN’S SOCCER
EAGLES EXTEND STREAK WITH SENIOR DAY WIN OVER REDHAWKS
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Soccer converted a pair of penalty kicks to grab a 2-1 Senior Day victory against Southeast Missouri State University on Sunday afternoon at Strassweg Field.
With the win, USI Women’s Soccer (5-5-2, 2-0-1 OVC) finished off an undefeated month of September as part of the team’s current seven-match unbeaten streak. USI went 4-0-2 in September and is 5-0-2 during the current streak.
USI picked up another three points in the OVC standings on Sunday after a second straight OVC home win, as the Screaming Eagles head into October second in the league table. Meanwhile, Southeast Missouri dropped to 0-11-1 overall and 0-2-1 in conference play.
On Sunday, redshirt sophomore forward Eva Boer and senior forward Peyton Murphy led the offensive charge for the Screaming Eagles, scoring a goal each. Boer doubled her single-game high with a career-best eight shots in the match, placing four on target. Murphy had four shots with two on goal. Senior forward Emerson Grafton had a trio of shot attempts for the Eagles. As a team, USI outshot the Redhawks 19-7 overall and 7-3 in shots on goal.
To open the match, early defensive takeaways led to offensive looks for USI. Boer collected a turnover and placed the game’s first shot on goal six minutes in. Just past the 20-minute mark, Murphy tallied a pair of shots toward the face of the goal; one was blocked, and another was saved by SEMO’s goalkeeper.
USI’s relentless pressure in the attacking half paid off in the 27th minute. A shot by Grafton was knocked down with a handball in the box, leading to an Eagles penalty kick. Murphy stepped up and cashed in on the penalty to put the Screaming Eagles in front, 1-0. It was Murphy’s second goal of the season and 11th career goal as USI’s D-I era scoring leader.
A few minutes later, Southeast Missouri built an attack that led to consecutive corner kicks. The Redhawks generated a long-range shot for their first attempt of the match, and USI redshirt junior goalkeeper Anna Markland made a diving save to her left and punched the ball away. Markland made another save during the sequence, as USI carried a 1-0 lead into halftime.
The Screaming Eagles began the second half with a quick shot from Boer that was saved. After a few more attempts, Grafton had a rocket in the 57th minute bounce downward off the crossbar, but it did not cross the goal line. The score remained 1-0 in favor of USI.
Southeast Missouri got one of its best chances with less than 20 minutes remaining when a ball landed toward an open far side of the goal, but the USI defense was able to clear the ball out just in the nick of time. However, the Redhawks scored in the 76th minute to knot the game up, 1-1.
Less than five minutes later, the Screaming Eagles answered back after drawing a second penalty kick and converting. For the second penalty, Boer stepped up and struck the ball into the net to push the Eagles back ahead, 2-1. It was Boer’s third goal of the season to tie for the team lead, as USI closed out the final 10 minutes to seal the win.
Before Sunday’s kickoff, USI hosted its Senior Day ceremonies to celebrate its 2025-26 senior class. Junior Grace Bamber, who is graduating a year early, was recognized alongside seniors Anna Markland, Emma Thurston, Charli Grafton, Peyton Murphy, Payton Seymour, Emerson Grafton, Brynn Quick, and Deklan Larring.

UINDY MEN’S SOCCER
UINDY ENDS WEEKEND ROAD TRIP WITH DRAW AGAINST ROCKHURST
KANSAS CITY, MO – The UIndy men’s soccer team capped off their two game weekend road trip with a 2-2 draw against Rockhurst.
Today’s draw extends the Greyhounds’ unbeaten streak against Rockhurst to nine, with this being the first draw in any of those nine matches.
HOW IT HAPPENED
Neither team created many chances in the first half, but both teams traded blows, each getting on the board once in the first half.
The Hawks were the first to do so in the 17th minute following a corner kick that was finished from five yards out by Noah Brende, but the Greyhounds responded 11 minutes later when Joey Longo’s shot on a cross from Gio Terlizzi snuck past Franco Briani Brunoro to square the game at one.
Coming out of the locker room, both teams had great chances just one minute apart, including Longo’s effort that was cleared off the line.
But who else other than Alvaro Sanchez, was the one who found the goal to put UIndy ahead 2-1 after 59 minutes on a shot from inside the six yard box that hit the roof of the goal.
Keerti Unnamatla kept the Hounds in front with two big saves in the 80th and 81st minutes on shots by Levi Caldwell and Asier Olano. With those two saves, Unnamatla brought his season total saves to nine with those two saves today.
But the key moment in the second half occurred when Terlizzi tripped up Sean McIntosh in the box to give the Hawks a penalty kick. Immanuel Wayoro tucked the penalty away in the 82nd minute to knot the game at two.
This Hounds weren’t done, as they created three more chances over the final eight minutes to possibly get the game winner. Sanchez’s effort was stopped brilliantly by Briani Brunoro, while Alex Ziermann’s two headed effort both went harmlessly over the bar to end the game at a 2-2 draw.
INSIDE THE BOX
– Sanchez scored his fourth goal of the season after his goal in today’s match.
– Longo tied his career high in shots with three, which came against Rockhurst last season (9/27/24).
– Lucas Bedleg notched a season high three shots today for the Hounds as a substitute.
– Alexander Veridiano recorded his first career stat today with a shot in the 75th minute.

UIndy played today’s match down two key pieces, outside back Nicole Schroeder, and head coach Kelli Beheler, both of which received red cards in the team’s last match against William Jewell.
HOW IT HAPPENED
Rockhurst dominated the first half, netting four goals on 15 shots. Their first goal came just over two minutes into the game, and was followed by three more goals less than 12 minutes apart from each other to extend the team’s lead.
The Hounds didn’t create as much offensive success as Rockhurst did in the first half, but still managed to register four shots on goal by; Ella Higbie, Kendal Waugerman, Lyza Shamy and Morgan Peters. All four of the Hounds first half efforts were saved by Rockhurst’s Ally Moore.
Rockhurst carried their first half momentum into the second half, matching the four goals they scored in the first half with four more in the second. The Hawks scored their four second half goals similarly to those from the first half, with three of the goals coming in bunches, and grabbing their eighth goal late.

INSIDE THE BOX
– Higbie recorded two shots in a game for the third time this season.
– Nine saves are the most saves in a single match for Ellis in her career.
– Peters played a complete 90 minute match for the first time this season.
