COLLEGE FOOTBALL

COLORADO DAMAGES NO. 14 HOUSTON’S CFP HOPES WITH COMEBACK WIN

Richard Young rushed for 99 yards and two touchdowns, Joseph Williams turned a short pass into a 53-yard touchdown and Colorado scored 28 consecutive points while registering a 42-32 upset of No. 14 Houston on Friday in Big 12 play at Boulder, Colo.

DeKalon Taylor scored on a 67-yard run and JaQuail Smith and Young each scored on runs longer than 30 yards for the Buffaloes (4-6, 2-5 Big 12). Colorado rolled up 249 yards on the ground, the highest output during Deion Sanders’ four seasons as head coach. Reserve quarterback Kaneal Sweetwyne also ran for a score.

Isaac Wilson completed 17 of 25 passes for 217 yards, one touchdown and one interception for Colorado, which has won two of its past three games after losing five in a row.

Conner Weigman produced 272 yards, three touchdowns and one interception on 26-of-42 passing for the Cougars (7-3, 4-3), who took a major hit to their College Football Playoff aspirations.

Makhi Hughes rushed for 106 yards and a touchdown while Patrick Overmyer (nine catches, 116 yards), Amare Thomas (six receptions, 66 yards) and Trent Walker each had scoring catches for Houston.

Colorado scored on long runs by Taylor and Smith late in the second quarter to take a 21-20 halftime lead.

The momentum continued early in the third quarter when Williams caught Wilson’s short pass at the Houston 45-yard line and sprinted down the center of the field to give the Buffaloes an eight-point lead.

Later in the quarter, Wilson injured his lower left leg and went to be examined. Sweetwyne entered and ran left for a 14-yard scoring run as Colorado took a 35-20 lead with 5:26 remaining in the third.

Wilson returned three-plus minutes later. Meanwhile, Houston made a charge with Weigman tossing a 22-yard scoring pass to Overmyer. The two-point attempt was no good.

Young scored from the 2 to give Colorado a 42-26 lead with 3:59 to play before Weigman threw a 4-yard scoring pass to Walker with 1:51 left. Weigman’s two-point pass was incomplete, and the Buffaloes finished off the upset.

Houston opened the game with 10 points on a 27-yard field goal by Jonathan Dimas and Hughes’ 8-yard run on the first play of the second quarter.

Colorado awoke with Young’s 38-yard scoring run with 9:25 remaining in the half. Houston led by 10 again on Weigman’s 4-yard pass to Thomas before Dimas booted a 52-yard field goal to give the Cougars a 20-7 edge with 2:36 left.

The Buffaloes began their stretch of 28 consecutive points as Taylor received an option pitch and raced 67 yards for a touchdown with 1:49 remaining. Colorado got the ball back, and Smith sailed 32 yards for a score with 15 seconds left for its first lead of the contest.

Ty Dieffenbach, stingy defense lift No. 4 UCLA over  Illinois

Ty Dieffenbach returned from a shoulder injury to throw a go-ahead touchdown pass, and No. 4 UCLA intercepted three passes to preserve a 22-14 victory over visiting Illinois on Friday in Pasadena, Calif.

UCLA (10-0, 7-0 Big Ten Conference) held a tenuous 19-14 lead in the fourth quarter of Friday’s rain-soaked contest at Rose Bowl Stadium as the Illini mounted a promising drive.

After going scoreless in the first half, Illinois (6-4, 4-3) rallied with a pair of touchdown passes from quarterback Katin Houser to Kaden Feagin and Collin Dixon. The scores came after Houser had thrown two interceptions.

Facing third-and-long near midfield, Houser was intercepted for the third time when UCLA defensive back Scooter Jackson jumped Feagin’s route. The Bruins extended the lead to eight points on a 37-yard Mateen Bhaghani field goal, and the UCLA defense flexed its muscle one more time on the last-ditch Illinois possession.

Sahir West’s sack of Houser sent the Illini quarterback to the sideline, and backup Carson Boyd committed intentional grounding under pressure on his first snap.

The final defensive stand put an exclamation point on a night that the Bruins held the Illini to just 64 rushing yards. Jackson made two of UCLA’s interceptions, and Derrick Barksdale picked off the third.

UCLA’s defense also supplied two points in the third quarter when Aiden Gobaira sacked Houser in the end zone for a safety that extended the Bruins’ lead to 12-0.

Dieffenbach completed 13 of 20 passes for 232 yards and two touchdowns, including a 54-yard strike to Aidan Mizell in the first quarter. Mizell caught six passes for 176 yards.

Dieffenbach injured his left shoulder shortly before halftime but returned to the sideline during the third quarter and eventually re-entered the game. Third-string quarterback Madden Iamaleava, whose older brother Nico suffered a season-ending knee injury in October, filled in while Dieffenbach was out.

Iamaleava completed 3 of 7 passes for 21 yards. With the UCLA run game struggling, averaging only 3.2 yards per carry on 34 attempts, Dieffenbach’s passing upon returning to action proved pivotal.

The Bruins improved to 10-0 for the first time since 1998, matching the program record for victories in a season.

NFL CAPSULES

New England Patriots (5-4) vs. Detroit Lions (6-2)

Sunday, 9:30 a.m. ET

FanDuel odds: Lions -2.5, total 50.5

Series Rewind: The Patriots have won five of the last six meetings, including a shutout (29-0) in their most recent clash in 2022. New England is 3-2 in international games, while Detroit is 1-1 but has not played overseas since 2015.

This showdown in Munich marks the fifth straight season the NFL has played in Germany, including the Patriots’ 10-6 loss to the Colts in Frankfurt in 2023. Lions star Amon-Ra St. Brown has a homefield advantage of sorts, as his mother is from Germany and he wears a decal of the nation’s flag on his helmet. Teammate Jahmyr Gibbs leads the NFL in yards from scrimmage (1,132) and is tied for the lead with 11 touchdowns (nine rushing, two receiving). Detroit’s Jared Goff has thrown at least one TD pass in 29 of his past 30 games and leads a unit that ranks No. 5 in scoring (27.8) and tied for fourth total offense (379.8). Aidan Hutchinson has two sacks in his last six games after recording two in Week 1. Patriots QB Drake Maye has the NFL’s longest active streak with six straight games of two or more TD passes. Cornerback Christian Gonzalez has allowed only one receiving touchdown. The reigning AFC champions are tied for last in the league with a minus-11 turnover margin.

Carolina Panthers (3-5) at New Orleans Saints (3-5)

Sunday, 1 p.m. ET

FanDuel odds: Saints -1.5, total 48.5

Series Rewind: The Saints have won five of the past six meetings and beat the Panthers 20-17 last December to remain in a tight NFC South race eventually claimed by Carolina on Week 18 tiebreakers.

Carolina has a top-five passing offense (261.1 yards per game, 4th in the NFL) and Bryce Young is on pace to approach a 4,000-yard, 30-TD season. He threw three touchdown passes and completed 28 of 39 for 276 yards last week, his ninth consecutive game with a TD pass. Carolina is getting more consistent production from the tight end position this season. Darren Waller (eight receptions for 90 yards last week) and wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan give Young a super-sized tandem to target downfield, and massive matchup problems for most safeties and cornerbacks. New Orleans is counting on its pass rush to make Young uncomfortable. He’s been sacked nine total times in the past two games. New Orleans won a home game for the first time this season last week, stopping a two-point conversion on the final play to beat the Cleveland Browns 23-22 in overtime. Quarterback Tyler Shough and wide receiver Chris Olave have played well in this series. Shough has a 110-plus passer rating in two career games against the Panthers and Olave has at least five receptions, 85 yards and a touchdown in the past two meetings.

Minnesota Vikings (6-2) at Green Bay Packers (6-3)

Sunday, 1 p.m. ET

FanDuel odds: Packers -3, total 42.5

Series Rewind: The Vikings opened the season with a 39-22 defeat of the Packers in Minneapolis. Minnesota has won five of the last seven meetings in the NFC North rivalry, including victories at Lambeau Field in 2023 and 2024.

Minnesota ranks first in the NFL in scoring defense (14.5), is tied for first in sacks (29) and ranks second in total defense (280.0) and faces a Green Bay offense that ranks second in passing (279.7) but dead last in rushing (68.2). The Vikings brought back Kirk Cousins in a trade with the Raiders and the 38-year-old veteran is expected to start Sunday. He is 6-4-1 in his career against the Packers with 23 touchdown passes and eight interceptions. The last time he suited up for the Vikings was at Lambeau Field, and he exited the Week 8 game in 2023 with a ruptured Achilles. Green Bay counterpart Jordan Love enters Week 10 leading the NFL in passing yards (2,618) and the NFC in touchdown passes (19). Matthew Golden and Christian Watson are the first pair of wide receivers since 2019 with at least 45 catches, 750 yards and five TDs apiece in the first nine games of a season. Former Packers running back Aaron Jones already has two 100-yard road games this season for the Vikings (at New Orleans and at Chicago). In Minnesota’s Week 1 win, Justin Jefferson caught eight passes for 92 yards and two scores.

Miami Dolphins (1-7) at Indianapolis Colts (2-7)

Sunday, 1 p.m. ET

FanDuel odds: Colts -3.5, total 38.5

Series Rewind: The Colts are going for a fourth consecutive win over the Dolphins, who lost on the same field to open the 2025 season (33-8).

Miami pushes Kyle McCord to center stage to make his first career start at quarterback and the Colts are attempting to find their footing following an active trade deadline in which wide receivers Josh Downs and Keenan Allen, defensive tackle DeForest Buckner and left guard Quenton Nelson were shipped out. Colts running back Jonathan Taylor stayed put and stirs the offense for Indianapolis, especially with few established options to run routes for quarterback Daniel Jones. Taylor’s matchup with Dolphins linebacker Jordyn Brooks (14 tackles in the 2025 meeting) should be intriguing. How Miami moves the ball won’t be quite as clear. McCord likely is to look to rookie wide receiver Caleb Douglas, who is averaging 15.8 yards per reception, and running back Ollie Gordon II. Gordon has consecutive road games with at least 100 yards from scrimmage.

Los Angeles Rams (5-4) at Arizona Cardinals (3-6)

Sunday, 4:05 p.m. ET

FanDuel odds: Rams -9.5, total 39.5

Series Rewind: Sean McVay is 16-4 against the Cardinals in his career, but 0-1 versus former assistant Mike LaFleur, who led Arizona to a win over the Rams 18-16 last month.

Los Angeles put together late-season surges in 2023 and 2024 to reach the playoffs. Rallying from a 2-4 start this season will have to come amid even more injury issues. The Cardinals can relate. They’ll try a third quarterback in three weeks as rookie Carson Beck takes over following an injury to Gardner Minshew II on Sunday and the trade last week of Jacoby Brissett to the Baltimore Ravens. Beck has yet to play in an NFL game, but he did guide Georgia into the College Football Playoff two seasons ago before going down with an elbow injury and then led Miami into the CFP title game last season. Beck takes over an offense that enters 22nd in total yards at 318.0 per game and 26th in scoring with 19.8 points per game. Adding to Beck’s challenges is a Rams defensive line that will have Myles Garrett and Aaron Donald playing together for the second time. Last week, Garrett had three sacks and forced a fumble in his return from a knee injury in a 20-13 road victory over the Washington Commanders. The Rams’ offense was far from dynamic. Los Angeles needed a 7-yard Puka Nacua touchdown reception in the fourth quarter to break a 13-13 tie. With under two minutes remaining, Nacua was stopped on a running play and ended up with MCL and PCL sprains in his right knee that will keep him “out for an extended period of time,” McVay said Wednesday. Wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring), who last played in the Week 6 loss to the Cardinals, remains out.

San Francisco 49ers (7-1) at Dallas Cowboys (4-5)

Sunday, 4:25 p.m. ET

FanDuel odds: 49ers -4.5, total 55.5

Series Rewind: San Francisco has swept the last four meetings, including playoff victories in the 2021 (wild-card game) and 2022 (divisional round) seasons. Prior to that stretch, Dallas went 6-1 in the series between 2005 and 2020.

Expect fireworks with the 49ers (29.4) and Cowboys (27.3) ranked third and sixth, respectively, in the NFL in scoring. Brock Purdy and Dak Prescott have both thrown at least one touchdown pass in every game this season. San Francisco star Christian McCaffrey caught his 37th career TD pass last week, passing Hall of Famer Marshall Faulk for the most by a running back in the Super Bowl era. He faces a Dallas defense that ranks 31st against the run (147.4). Niners linebacker Fred Warner is the only player since 2000 to register at least 75 tackles and five forced fumbles over an eight-game span. Cowboys wideout CeeDee Lamb is the first player in NFL history with at least 70 catches and 900 receiving yards in each of his first seven seasons. Dallas DT Quinnen Williams enters Week 10 with a league-high 14 tackles for loss. The Cowboys are just 1-3 this season at AT&T Stadium. Six-time Pro Bowl receiver Keenan Allen could make his 49ers debut after arriving in a trade-deadline deal with the Colts.Buy 

Kansas City Chiefs (6-2) at Atlanta Falcons (3-6)

Sunday, 1 p.m. ET

FanDuel odds: Chiefs -3.5; Total 47.5

Series Rewind: The Chiefs have won the last three times they have faced the Falcons (2016, 2020, 2024) and hold an 8-3 lead in the all-time series.

It has been a week filled with good  news for Kansas City and quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who will travel with reinforcements this week. The Chiefs, who will be seeking their first road win in six weeks, added wide receiver Josh Downs in a trade with the Indianapolis Colts on Tuesday in hopes of bolstering an offense coming off a season-high offensive output last week. Perhaps equally important was the positive outlook on Mahomes’ availability for this week. The superstar injured his throwing elbow while being sacked last week but has practiced fully Wednesday and Thursday of this week. Atlanta enters with a bleaker outlook. The Falcons have lost consecutive games by a combined 33 points and traded away two starters this week, sending center Ryan Neuzil to the Baltimore Ravens and safety Jessie Bates III to the Jacksonville Jaguars. And yet, the Falcons still are contending in an NFC South division where all four teams have three wins. In two games since being named NFC Offensive Player of the Week, quarterback Michael Penix Jr. is averaging just 143.5 yards passing and has been intercepted five times.

Jacksonville Jaguars (6-2) at Tennessee Titans (1-7)

Sunday, 1 p.m. ET

FanDuel odds: Jaguars -10.5, total 46.5

Series Rewind: The Jaguars have swept the division series each of the last two seasons and won seven of the last eight against Tennessee. The Titans, though, still lead the all-time series 35-28.

At a trade deadline that didn’t leave much of a wake, the Jaguars made far and away the biggest splash, acquiring safety Jessie Bates III and defensive tackles Jordan Davis and Davon Godchaux to bolster a defense which already ranks first in the league in turnover margin (plus-nine), second in scoring defense (15.1 points per game allowed) and 10th in total defense (318.3 yards per game allowed). Jacksonville appears destined to win the AFC South for the second straight year — leading by three games just past the halfway point of the season — and sets its sights on the AFC No. 1 seed, one game back of the Bills. Bates and Davis won’t play Sunday due to the fact they didn’t have a bye week with their team this season and Jacksonville already had its week off. The Titans represent, on paper, a chance at a third straight blowout win for Jacksonville. But Tennessee’s record betrays a team that has been playing better and is coming off a bye week. After failing to score more than 20 points in any of their first five games — all losses — the Titans have scored 24-plus in each of their last three, including a season-high 36 points in their last game at Cincinnati. After struggling at times to live up to the hype of being No. 1 overall pick, second-year QB Cam Ward threw for a career-high 304 yards and a season-high two touchdowns in the overtime loss.

Houston Texans (3-5) at Cleveland Browns (5-4)

Sunday, 1 p.m. ET

FanDuel odds: Texans -4.5, total 40.5

Series Rewind: Houston ended a four-game losing streak against the Browns the last time these teams met, winning 45-14 in a wild-card playoff game in January 2024. That restored the Texans’ lead in the all-time series, 8-7.

The last time the Browns started a season 4-0 at home was 1963, one year before they captured their most recent NFL championship. Deshaun Watson will attempt to maintain Cleveland’s perfect home record Sunday when he returns to the starting lineup for the Browns against his former team. Shedeur Sanders got the start last week while Watson was in concussion protocol, throwing for 297 yards and two touchdowns in a 23-22 overtime loss to the Saints. Cleveland trails the Steelers (6-2) and Bengals (6-2) by 1 1/2 games in the AFC North. Those teams face off Sunday night, giving Watson a chance to help the Browns gain ground in the division race. The Texans have a lot more ground to make up in their division, three games back of Jacksonville. Houston is following a path similar to the one it took to reach the divisional playoffs last season, when it started 0-3 before earning a wild-card berth. The Texans were 0-4 this year before notching their first victory of the season Oct. 11 at Tennessee, and they now have three wins away from home in the past four games. Houston QB C.J. Stroud passed for 384 yards and five touchdowns in a 44-22 road victory over the Los Angeles Chargers last week. The Texans’ point total tied for the most in franchise history in a road game.

Buffalo Bills (7-1) at New York Jets (2-7)

Sunday, 1 p.m. ET

FanDuel: Bills -7.5, total: 50.5

Series Rewind: Buffalo has defeated its AFC East rivals five straight times by an average of 20.4 and have prevailed in 10 of the last 12 meetings. The Bills outscored New York 65-18 in last season’s two matchups. The Jets have scored 14 or fewer points in four of the last five matchups.

Buffalo owns a four-game winning streak and has best record in the AFC as it enters the true midseason (Game 9) clash. The Bills allowed just 16 points over the last two games and totally shut down the Minnesota Vikings in Monday’s 23-6 road victory. Buffalo gave up just 178 yards and nine first downs while forcing three turnovers. And the defense landed another stellar player the following day when the Bills obtained safety Amani Hooker from the Tennessee Titans. The eighth-year veteran shares the NFL lead with five interceptions. Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen passed for 234 yards against Minnesota and his lone 300-yard outing (334) came in the season-opening victory over the Houston Texans. James Cook III rushed for 107 yards against the Vikings. Cook ranks fifth in the NFL with 814 rushing yards. The Jets have lost four consecutive games after being routed 35-12 last week by the host Kansas City Chiefs. New York trailed 14-12 at halftime before being dominated in the second half. The 12 points matched a season low and New York had just 229 yards and quarterback Geno Smith was sacked five times. The Jets are 5-21 in 1 1/2 seasons under Glenn, and speculation about his future is heating up. Glenn was a three-time Pro Bowl cornerback who intercepted 41 passes during his 15-year playing career, but his Jets haven’t had the same zeal for picks. Safety Minkah Fitzpatrick’s interception in Week 4 of this season remains New York’s lone pick during Glenn’s 26 games at the helm. No. 2 overall pick David Bailey has displayed a knack for forcing fumbles. The edge rusher shares the NFL lead with five forced fumbles and also is tied for fourth with 7.5 sacks.

Seattle Seahawks (5-4) at Las Vegas Raiders (4-5)

Sunday, 4:05 p.m. ET

FanDuel: Seahawks -6.5, total: 40.5

Series Rewind: The Seahawks and Raiders were AFC West combatants until Seattle moved to the NFC West for the 2002 season. The teams have met just six times since then with each side winning three times. In the last meeting, the Raiders prevailed 40-34 in overtime in 2022 with Josh Jacobs scoring the winning points with an 86-yard run.

Fernando Mendoza’s first NFL start comes against the defending Super Bowl champions after the Raiders traded Kirk Cousins to the Minnesota Vikings prior to Tuesday’s trade deadline. The No. 1 overall pick who won the Heisman Trophy while leading Indiana to last season’s college national title certainly will be tested by a Seattle defense that leads the NFL in total defense (244.2 yards per game) and passing defense (155.1) and is tied for fourth in scoring defense (18.0). The Seahawks also rank fourth in rushing defense (89.1), which is not good  news for Mike Washington (minus-3 yards on six carries against San Francisco last week) and struggling Ashton Jeanty (3.2 yards per carry). Mendoza faces quite a challenge for a Raiders’ squad that has dropped five of six games following a 3-0 start. The Seahawks haven’t come close to last season’s form and the defense held the Arizona Cardinals to 198 yards in last week’s 17-3 victory. Sam Darnold (quadriceps/ribs) will miss his second straight game and fourth start of the season. Backup quarterback Drew Lock (elbow/oblique) also is battling injuries. The elbow has been bothering him for weeks but he was able to complete 19 of 28 passes for 175 yards and a touchdown against Arizona. Lock has completed 71.1% of his throws this season for 597 yards, five touchdowns and no interceptions. Jaxon Smith-Njigba is having another monster season as he leads the league with 1,036 receiving yards and nine touchdowns and ranks second with 71 receptions. He had seven catches for just 51 with a long of 18 against Arizona.

Pittsburgh Steelers (6-2) at Cincinnati Bengals (6-2)

Sunday, 8:20 p.m. ET

FanDuel: Bengals -3.5, total: 49.5

Series Rewind: The Steelers have won five of the past seven meetings, including a 30-27 home win on Sept. 27 when Chris Boswell booted a tiebreaking 33-yard field goal. Pittsburgh has scored 30 or more points in six of the last eight meetings, while Cincinnati has scored 20 or fewer points in five of the eight during the span.

Both teams have won four consecutive games and the winner takes over the solo lead in the AFC North. This game could potentially become an offensive showcase as Cincinnati’s Joe Burrow and Pittsburgh’s Aaron Rodgers each threw three touchdown passes in the earlier meeting. Burrow is one of the midseason leaders in the MVP race and he leads the NFL with 23 touchdown passes and is second in passing yardage (2,386), trailing only Green Bay’s Jordan Love, who has played one more contest. Burrow has thrown 16 touchdown passes and rushed for two scores during the Cincinnati winning streak. Ja’Marr Chase is having another big season with 53 catches for 647 yards and seven touchdowns but Tee Higgins (fifth in the NFL with 758) has more yards to go with 48 catches and six scores. The Steelers will look to slow down the Bengals with a defense that is tied for fourth in scoring defense (18.0) and stands seventh in total defense (305.6). Pittsburgh is third in defending the run (83.9) but Cincinnati isn’t going to worry too deeply about that as it ranks 30th in rushing (85.6) and revolves around Burrow’s arm. Rodgers has passed for 1,871 yards and 13 touchdowns against six interceptions. He has thrown six scoring passes during the winning streak but only one over the past two weeks. Jaylen Warren continues to have a career season and ranks sixth in the NFL with 704 rushing yards. He matched his career high of 143 yards in last week’s 27-6 win over the Cleveland Browns for his fourth 100-yard outing of the season. Star linebacker T.J. Watt had two sacks and is tied for fourth in the NFL with 7.5.

MEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL

TOP 25 ROUNDUP: NO. 24 KENTUCKY HITS LATE TREY TO SLIP PAST NAU

Alex Wilkins made a 3-pointer from the right wing with 2.1 seconds left to lift No. 24 Kentucky past a pesky Northern Arizona squad 78-77 on Friday in Lexington, Ky.

A 22-loss team a year ago that was predicted to finish last in the Big Sky Conference preseason coaches and media polls, the Lumberjacks (0-4) had the Wildcats (3-1) on the ropes for most of the night. Northern Arizona led 77-73 after a Cade Bennett 3-pointer with 22 seconds left.

However, after making their first 10 free throws, the Lumberjacks missed their final two in the last 11 seconds. The last, a miss by Chris Komin on the front end of a one-and-one, allowed Wilkins to hit the game-winning shot. A half-court heave at the buzzer from Ryan Abelman hit off the backboard but missed.

Wilkins, Malachi Moreno and Milan Momcilovic all scored 14 points for Kentucky. Komin finished with 25 points, seven rebounds and six assists for Northern Arizona.

NHL

PREDATORS OUTLAST GOLDEN KNIGHTS IN SHOOTOUT FOR 7TH STRAIGHT WIN

Ryan O’Reilly scored two goals in regulation and Roman Josi tallied the game-winner in the fourth round of a shootout as the Nashville Predators extended their winning streak to seven games with a 3-2 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights on Friday in Las Vegas.

Josi snapped a wrist shot past the glove side of Vegas goalie Adin Hill.

Rookie Trevor Connelly scored in the second round of the tiebreaker to put the Golden Knights ahead, but Filip Forsberg leveled it in the third round, setting the stage for Josi’s winner.

Juuse Saros finished with 40 saves for Nashville, which tied defending Stanley Cup champion Carolina for the longest win streak of the season.

Victor Olofsson and Rasmus Andersson each scored goals for Vegas, which had its four-game winning streak snapped. Hill finished with 30 saves as the Golden Knights got at least a point for the sixth consecutive contest (4-0-2).

Nashville, coming off a back-to-back at Los Angeles and Anaheim on Tuesday and Wednesday to kick off its five-game Western road trip, took a 1-0 lead at the 7:56 mark of the first period when O’Reilly chipped in a Steven Stamkos pass from the front of the net.

It was O’Reilly’s 17th career goal against Vegas, breaking a tie with Anze Kopitar for the most ever against the Golden Knights.

Vegas tied it midway through the period when Olofsson, falling to the ice, slapped in a rebound of an Ivan Barbashev shot that was spinning behind Saros in the middle of the blue ice.

The Golden Knights took their first lead midway through the second period when Andersson, left wide open at the right top of the slot, snapped a wrist shot past Saros off a diagonal pass from Mitch Marner.

O’Reilly tied it 2-2 at the 9:44 mark of the third period, skating along above the right goal line and then spinning and firing a wrist shot over Hill’s left shoulder.

Vegas nearly won the game in overtime, but Olofsson’s close-in shot caromed off the right post.

GLENN GAWDIN, RANGERS ROUT CANUCKS BEHIND BIG SECOND PERIOD

Glenn Gawdin scored his first two career goals in his hometown as the New York Rangers used four second-period goals to beat the host Vancouver Canucks 5-1 on Friday.

Gawdin, who grew up in Vancouver and played briefly with the Calgary Flames and Anaheim Ducks, was playing his second game of the season and just the 15th of his NHL career.

Alexis Lafreniere, Oliver Bjorkstrand and Gabe Perreault also scored for New York, which has won five of its last six.

New York goaltender Dylan Garand, who also hails from Vancouver, stopped 27 of 28 shots.

Elias Pettersson scored for Vancouver while Leevi Merilainen made 26 saves as the hapless Canucks lost their seventh consecutive game and 17th in the last 18.

The game took on the form of a grudge match because it marked a homecoming of sorts for Rangers captain J.T. Miller, who finished with two assists. Miller spent six seasons in Vancouver before being traded to New York in January 2025.

Miller, who was booed throughout the game by the Vancouver fans, had some words for Pettersson as the latter skated off the ice following the Rangers’ first goal.

Pettersson opened the scoring for Vancouver at 12:13 of the first period. He got the blade of his stick on Zeev Buium’s long shot from the point. Brock Boeser got the secondary assist to record his 500th career point.

Perreault tied it at 1 with just 73 seconds left in the first period, threading a shot over the left shoulder of Merilainen from in close.

After Bjorkstrand made it 2-1 at 8:21 of the second, the Rangers scored three goals in 3:10 to blow the game open.

Gawdin took advantage of a bad clearing pass by Merilainen to score into an open net at 13:00 and make it 3-1. Lafreniere and Gawdin then scored 56 seconds apart to make it 5-1 and put the game out of reach.

GOLF

STEWART CINK LEADS BY 6 AS HE CLOSES IN ON SECOND CHARLES SCHWAB CUP

Stewart Cink caught fire on the back nine and opened up a six-shot lead at the Charles Schwab Cup Championship on Friday in Phoenix.

Cink is two rounds away from capturing his second consecutive Charles Schwab Cup, the PGA Tour Champions’ season-long title. He entered the season finale with a healthy lead in the points race, and Zach Johnson was mathematically the only player who could overtake him.

Cink’s 65 put him at 14-under 128 after two rounds at Phoenix Country Club. Steve Allan of Australia (69) is second at 8 under, and Johnson (66) is tied for third with New Zealand’s Steven Alker (66), Northern Ireland’s Darren Clarke (66) and Germany’s Alex Cejka (68).

The first-round leader, Cink had an uneven start Friday, mixing three bogeys with two birdies over the first six holes. But he birdied seven of the final 10 holes and posted a 6-under 29 on the back nine, featuring birdies on the final three holes.

“Process-wise, it was very good from around No. 8 on. Really good,” Cink said. “There’s definitely some birdies out there. Could have been maybe even more, but it was more the kind of golf I want to play.”

But Johnson gave him a run early in the day by birdieing his first five holes.

Cink admitted that during his front nine, he saw Johnson’s score on the leaderboard “and all of a sudden I was like, ‘Oh, my gosh, he’s right there.’”

“The wind was blowing, and I saw Zach was making this huge run, just making a statement,” Cink added. “The same kind of statement I want to be making. But I dig deep kind of like spiritually and emotionally.”

Johnson cooled off after his five-birdie start and hit a late speed bump, finishing the round bogey-bogey.

“I had an opportunity today, even going into 17,” Johnson said. “To finish that way, that’s going to hurt really bad going into the weekend.”

Johnson, a six-time winner in 2026, is aiming to be the first rookie to win the season crown.

PLAY HALTED AT AUSTIN CHAMPIONSHIP WITH TRACE CROWE UP BY 1

Trace Crowe held a one-shot lead with two holes left in his second round when play was suspended at the Austin Championship on Friday in Texas.

Crowe, the first-round leader thanks to a career-low 62, was 3 under Friday evening to get to 13 under for the tournament. He had hit his tee shot on the par-3 17th hole at the Fazio Canyons Course at Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa when play was suspended.

Crowe was one of 16 players still on the course when tour officials halted play. They’ll have to complete their rounds Saturday at 7 a.m. local time before the third round begins at 8:40 a.m.

The 30-year-old Crowe, who is seeking his maiden PGA Tour win, is one shot ahead of Taiwan’s Kevin Yu, who posted his second straight round of 66.

The inaugural Austin Championship is the penultimate event of the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup Fall series. Players in the top 100 of the points race at the end of the fall will retain full-time tour status, and Nos. 101-125 will receive conditional status for 2027.

Crowe entered the week at No. 117 in the fall standings and the live projection showed he would jump to No. 63 with a win.

Similarly, Yu was on the bubble entering the tournament at No. 99 and was projected to rise to No. 70 if current results hold. Yu’s two-year exemption for winning the 2024 Sanderson Farms Championship runs out at the end of this season.

“If you think about it, it’s definitely a lot of pressure, but on the golf course pressure’s not going to do anything good to you,” Yu said. “On the course I’m trying to be, just be myself on the course, try to hit good golf shots. If I just keep hitting good golf shots, the good golf is going to take care of itself.”

Yu’s big move came early in the day. He started his round on the back nine and went birdie-birdie-eagle at Nos. 12-14.

“The eagle I made, got a pretty lucky bounce on a second shot, kind of hit the side of the bunker and kicked left,” he said. “I had, like, 12 feet left, maybe a little less than that. Yeah, it was a great putt, went in the center.”

Tied for third are Brian Harman (66) and Norway’s Kristoffer Ventura (67) at 11 under. Jordan Smith of England (67), Erik van Rooyen of South Africa (70) and Sami Valimaki of Finland (66) were knotted at 10 under along with Neal Shipley, who was 6 under for his round with two holes to finish.

Harman’s status on tour is not in limbo thanks to his Open Championship win in 2023. But he can still play his way from No. 71 into the top-60 range at the end of the fall and secure his place in the first two signature events of 2027.

“I’ve had a lot of chances at it this year and I haven’t come up with much,” Harman said of his season, “so it’s just nice to be playing some good golf.”

The projected cut line was 4 under and could still move. The top 65 players and ties after 36 holes advance.

CARLOTA CIGANDA GOES LOW, JOINS 3-WAY TIE FOR LEAD AT THE ANNIKA

Carlota Ciganda of Spain shot a 7-under-par 63 and tied Lindy Duncan and South Korea’s Hye-Jin Choi for the lead after the second round of The Annika on Friday in Belleair, Fla.

Ciganda started her round on the back nine at Pelican Golf Club and collected three birdies before a bogey at No. 2. She finished strong, however, with birdies on the final four holes and five of her last six.

That moved her to 12-under 128, where she finished the day alongside Duncan (67) and Choi (67). They hold a two-shot lead over Japan’s Mao Saigo (65) and Minami Katsu (69). Katsu started the day tied for the lead with Choi.

“I played really well, hitting lots (of) fairways, lots of greens,” Ciganda said. “And then, yeah, the last four holes I think my putting, the speed was really good.”

Ciganda, 36, has all but secured her spot in next week’s season-ending CME Group Tour Championship, which is limited to the top 60 players on the Race to the CME Globe points list. She entered the week 50th in the standings but is projected to climb to No. 23 if current results hold.

“I’m not thinking too much about the result,” said Ciganda, who has three LPGA Tour wins. “Just trying to hit my spots, my targets. We have a good plan with my caddie, and just follow the strategy. Yeah, just to hit those targets every time, be present, and then see what happens.”

Duncan, who opened with a 62 that included a hole-in-one, remains in a strong position to qualify for next week’s finale. She entered the week 74th in points and is projected to climb to No. 35 if current results hold.

“(I) hope to continue to keep getting better,” said Duncan, who is seeking her first tour win. “That’s what I’ve kind of always tried to do. Sometimes you work really hard but you’re not quite working on the right thing so momentum is sort of not on your side.

“But if you keep working on the right things and the game comes around, it’s a great feeling.”

Duncan had six birdies and two bogeys Friday, while Choi’s round unfolded differently. She opened with consecutive bogeys at Nos. 10-11, and after a birdie at the par-3 12th, gave the stroke back with a bogey at the par-5 14th.

Choi finished with three more birdies and an eagle at the par-5 seventh.

“I have two rounds left, but I have recently played in a champion group on the tournament before, so I have that experience and I’m going just try my best and concentrate on my game like two rounds,” Choi said.

Tied for sixth at 9 under are Mexico’s Gaby Lopez (63 Friday), Spain’s Julia Lopez Ramirez (67) and South Korea’s Ina Yoon (67).

World No. 1 Nelly Korda followed an opening-round 63 with a 1-under 69 Friday, making 17 pars and one birdie at No. 7. At 8 under, she is tied for ninth with Japan’s Yuri Yoshida (66).

“I had a lot of chances. I just like struggled a little on the greens,” Korda said. “And it’s not because I was hitting bad putts. I actually wasn’t hitting bad putts.

“But you can just tell that from yesterday morning to today afternoon with the wind, that’s what the defense of this golf course is. The greens get kind of icy. It’s as fast as Bermuda as I’ve putted on throughout my career, like last year and the year before. So the defense of this place is just the undulation and how fast the greens get.”

The cut line fell at 1 under par. Angel Yin entered the week 58th in the points race, but after missing the cut at 1 over, she is projected to fall to 62nd and miss the finale.

INDIANA SPORTS RELEASES/HEADLINES

COLTS

Colts wide receivers coach Reggie Wayne had to double-check the hat he wore Thursday had the right word on it.

“Opportunity,” Wayne said, taking off his hat to confirm he, indeed, had a hat with that word on it. “It’s the word of the day. Everybody’s got an opportunity to display their talents. Obviously, you don’t want to see any of your teammates gone, but the fact of the matter is, they are, and that’s an opportunity for these guys to step in.”

Wayne, here, was specifically talking about the Colts’ wide receiver room, which shipped off Keenan Allen and Josh Downs before Tuesday’s trade deadline and remains without Alec Pierce, who’s on injured reserve with a heel injury. One of those receivers who should see an increase in playing time is Deion Burks, the fourth-from-last pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

In fact, of the Colts’ eight selections in the 2026 NFL Draft, at least six are in line to start or play key roles on offense or defense Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. Safety AJ Haulcy, who missed Week 9 with an ankle injury, would make it seven if he’s healthy enough to return to the starting role he’s held this season.

Of those eight picks, Burks and left guard Jalen Farmer were thrust into bigger roles due to the trades of Allen and guard Quenton Nelson, respectively. Others have competed to earn more playing time, like linebacker CJ Allen, defensive end Caden Curry and running back Seth McGowan. And with linebackers Akeem Davis-Gaither (knee) and Jaylon Carlies (neck) out for Week 10, look for Bryce Boettcher to get a good amount of run at WILL linebacker next to Allen at the MIKE.

“I truly am excited for these guys to step up and go compete,” head coach Shane Steichen said. “And these guys get a great opportunity to go play in the National Football League, and go see what they can do.”

The Dolphins have played this way for most of the 2026 season, with seven of their draft picks appearing in all eight of their games and others – like first-round tackle Kadyn Proctor and third-round wide receiver Caleb Douglas – starting the majority of Miami’s games as well. Quarterback Kyle McCord, a 2025 sixth-round pick, will make his first career start in place of the injured Malik Willis on Sunday as well.

And while the Dolphins are 1-7, they’re very much a frisky team – three of those losses were by one score to the Minnesota Vikings, Cincinnati Bengals and New England Patriots; they lost, 19-9, to the Detroit Lions last weekend. They haven’t lost by more than 10 points since September as some of their young players have taken advantage of the opportunities presented to them.

For the Colts’ 2026 draft class, a similar opportunity awaits over the final half of this season. And what those guys, from Allen to Burks, put on tape – and how they contribute to, hopefully, winning games – will go a long way toward determining their roles in 2027 and beyond.

“This is the team that we have the rest of the year,” safety Cam Bynum said. “Now it’s time to go, and go win some games.”

NOTRE DAME HOCKEY

SOUTH BEND, Ind. –  The Notre Dame Fighting Irish battled No. 4 Michigan State to a 1-1 stalemate on Friday evening inside Compton Family Ice Arena before claiming the second point with a shootout victory to grab four points against the top-5 ranked opponent over the two games.

The Irish are now unbeaten over their last four games and move to 5-6-1 on the season and 3-2-1 in Big Ten play.

Freshman goaltender Patrick Quinlan continues his run of great play in between the pipes, as he was named the First Star of the Game. Quinlan made 34 saves while allowing just one into the back of his net before not allowing a single Michigan State player to score in the shootout.

Evan Werner scored Notre Dame’s goal in regulation and now has a team-high six goals on the season.

An unsung hero of the game was Pano Fimis, who continued his incredible form at the dot, winning 15-of-22 faceoffs.

HOW IT HAPPENED

For the second-straight night the Irish and Spartans played a scoreless first period, as the two sides went into the first intermission deadlocked at 0-0.

Quinlan made some key stops early in goal before the Irish attack started to really pressure the Michigan State net. Shots were nearly even at the end of the opening 20 minutes of play as the Spartans held a narrow lead at 9-8.

The back-and-forth contest continued throughout the second period, with neither team giving an inch. Notre Dame managed to kill a penalty at the start of the second and one at the end to keep the game scoreless through 40 minutes of play.

Notre Dame’s offense generated a number of quality chances in the second period but were unable to find the back of the net.

The Irish earned a power play in the opening minutes of the third period and Evan Werner nearly put Notre Dame in front but his effort was turned away by the Michigan State goaltender.

As regulation began to wind down, both teams pushed for the winner and it appeared that the Irish found it at the 17:41 mark of the third, as Werner made an unbelievable individual effort to get to the front of the crease before using a perfect backhand finish to give Notre Dame the 1-0 lead.

Unfortunately, the Spartans answered less than a minute later, as Tommi Mannisto scored to level the score at 1-1 and send the game into overtime for the second-straight evening.

Notre Dame was the more likely team to score in the extra session, as it outshot the visitors 4-2 in the 5-minute overtime but were unable to produce the winner as the game officially ended in a tie.

The shootout ensued to determine which team would earn the extra point. Neither side converted the first attempt and after Michigan State didn’t score Sammy Nelson beat the Spartan goalie to put the Irish on the brink. Quinlan then made the save on the final attempt from Michigan State to seal the shootout win.

UP NEXT

The Irish travel to Columbus, Ohio, for their third Big Ten road series of the season, as they take on Ohio State for a pair of games. Game one is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. ET on Friday, Nov. 20 followed by game two at 5 p.m. ET on Saturday, Nov. 21. Both games will be streamed on BTN+.

BUTLER MEN’S BASKETBALL

Second-half offensive struggles by Butler allowed visiting Pittsburgh to erase a halftime deficit and come away with a 76-64 win Friday night at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

The Bulldogs held a 42-34 advantage at halftime but shot only 16 percent from the field after the break.

With the result, Pitt improves to 4-0 while the Bulldogs level their record at 2-2 on the young season.

HOW IT HAPPENED:

A 9-0 run by the Bulldogs gave the home team a 42-30 advantage with 1:31 remaining in the first half, which would be Butler’s largest lead of the game.

Pitt scored the final four points of the opening frame to head into the locker rooms trailing 42-34.

Butler was able to keep the Panthers at arm’s length, leading 51-43 with 12:58 remaining before a prolonged 18-3 Pitt run gave the visitors their first lead of the game and ultimately a 61-54 lead at the 7:25 mark.

Butler would get no closer than five over the remainder of the game.

TIP-INS:

Jonathan Powell led five Panthers in double figures with 17 points.

Eduardo Klafke’s 16 points paced the Bulldogs; the 6-5 guard added a game-high eight rebounds. Klafke has led the team in scoring twice through four games and has scored in double figures each time.

Asim Djulovic scored 11 points, his third time in double figures in the team’s four games.

Butler shot 5-for-31 from the field in the second half, including only 3-for-20 from three-point range. The Bulldogs shot 33 percent for the game, but connected on only seven of 34 three-point attempts.

Butler University announced the next chapter in the live mascot program and Butler Blue V was introduced at Hinkle Fieldhouse during halftime of Friday’s game.

Jordan Cornette called the game Friday for Peacock; Jordan’s older brother, Joel, tragically passed away in 2016 at the age of 35 after a Hall of Fame career at Butler that saw the 2003 graduate lead the Bulldogs to three NCAA Tournament appearances and score more than 1,000 career points in his four seasons.

Butler is now 90-7 in their last 97 home games against non-conference teams. 

Friday marked the 15th meeting between Butler and Pitt. The first 12 games were played at Hinkle from 1928 through 1946. Butler leads the all-time series, 8-7.

Butler defeated No. 1 seed Pittsburgh, 71-70, in the second round of the 2011 NCAA Tournament. Shelvin Mack had 30 points in that win as the Bulldogs went on to advance to the NCAA national championship game for the second consecutive season. Butler head coach Ronald Nored and VP/Director of Athletics Grant Leiendecker were also on that team.

The teams will play next season in Pittsburgh to finish off the home-and-home series.

UP NEXT: The Bulldogs continue their three-game, week-long homestand, hosting a Tuesday tip against Western Carolina.

Both teams traded points back and forth, but the Friars led 15-7 at the halfway mark of the set.  BU responded with a 4-1 run driven by kills from Durbin and Slusser, but Providence responded with a 2-0 run of their own.

BALL STATE MEN’S BASKETBALL

DALLAS, Texas – The Ball State men’s basketball team played a strong second half but fell 90-65 to SMU on Friday night at Moody Coliseum.

INDIANA STATE WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Indiana State fifth-year guard Jayci Allen struggled through the Sycamores’ first four games, but Friday’s contest against Wright State provided a spark for the sharpshooter. Allen came off the bench to score 23, her most in an Indiana State uniform, to lead the Trees past Wright State 73-66 inside Hulman Center.

Saroiya Ajomale added 16 points, five blocks and three assists, while Kristen McMillan finished one rebound shy of a double-double with 13 points and nine boards. Ashley Singhateh tacked on 12 points, three rebounds and four steals, while Aaliyah Youngblood dished out a game-high six assists.

Singhateh had the hot hand early with six first quarter points, helping the Trees lead 21-16 after the opening frame. Wright State went on a run in the second quarter to go in front, but Allen knocked down a pair of threes and closed an 8-0 Sycamore run with a trey to put the home side up 37-32 at the break. Threes from Singhateh and Allen pushed the lead to double-digits in the third, while Ajomale went on a personal 8-0 run in the fourth as the Sycamores extended their advantage to 65-53. Wright State used a late run to pull within one possession, but the Trees iced the game from the free throw line and Allen went coast-to-coast off a late Raider turnover to seal the Sycamores’ second straight win.

First Half

After a slow start to the opening quarter, things quickly heated up for the Sycamores. Two baskets from Singhateh along with a trey from Youngblood put the Trees up 11-4, with Ajomale and McMillan adding baskets just past the midway point to keep the Sycamores in front. Allen knocked down the first of her five threes on the night with just over two minutes left in the frame, converting a four-point play, while Eanae Dagons beat the shot clock with a floater late in the quarter to give Indiana State a 21-16 lead after one.

Wright State came out firing in the second with an 8-0 run to go in front, but Allen answered with eight points in a two-minute span, including another trey, to put the Sycamores ahead 29-25. The visitors briefly pulled ahead, but Indiana State closed with an 8-0 run, courtesy of McMillan, Singhateh and Allen, to go in front 37-32 at the intermission.

Second Half

Indiana State quickly extended its lead to double-digits on a Youngblood layup and a transition three-ball from Singhateh inside the first minute of the third. Allen knocked down two more triples in the middle stages of the frame to give Indiana State a 52-41 lead, while McMillan connected on a corner three of her own inside the final minute. Wright State closed the quarter on a 5-0 run, though, pulling within four at 55-51 entering the fourth.

Ajomale broke through in the fourth with Indiana State’s first 12 points of the frame, outscoring Wright State 12-5 on her own in the first six minutes of the period to push the Sycamores’ lead out to 67-56. Wright State came roaring back, though, with the raiders going on a 10-2 run to make it a one-possession game inside the final minute. Ultimately the Sycamores were able to ice the game with Singhateh at the line, while Allen forced a turnover and went coast-to-coast for the final basket in a 73-66 win for the Blue and White.

News and Notes: 

Jayci Allen’s 23 points and five 3-pointers were both career-high marks in an Indiana State uniform. Allen became the first Sycamore to record a 20-point game this season and the first Tree to knock down five threes since Kayla Smith did so on Senior Day last year against Southern Illinois.

Indiana State finished plus-eight in turnover margin (23-15), marking the second straight game the Sycamores forced more than 20 turnovers. In addition, the Trees also finished with a season-high 39 points off turnovers, their most in a game since the 2021-22 season opener against Stephens College (Mo.).

Indiana State finished with 26 fastbreak points, marking the second straight game that the Trees tallied at least 25 points in transition.

Friday’s game was the first this season that Indiana State did not tally more bench points than its opponent.

Indiana State recorded seven blocks for the second straight game, with the Sycamores leading the MVC in blocks through the first two weeks of the season.

Indiana State was nearly perfect from the charity stripe, going 15-for-16 (92.3 percent) on free throws.

Wright State’s 66 points were the lowest by a Sycamore opponent this season.

Saroiya Ajomale became the first Sycamore to record five blocks in a game since Feb. 12, 2025 when Savannah White accomplished the feat against Bradley.

Friday’s win improved the Sycamores to 2-0 at home this season. Indiana State has won each of its last five non-conference home games dating back to the start of the 2025-26 season.

Friday’s starting lineup consisted of Ashley Singhateh, Aaliyah Youngblood, Kristen McMillan, Karsen Marshall, and Saroiya Ajomale. It marked the fourth different lineup combination in the first five games.

Up Next

Indiana State seeks its third straight win Tuesday night when the Sycamores host Bellarmine in the finale of their three-game homestand. Tipoff from Hulman Center is set for 7 p.m.

PURDUE FT. WAYNE VOLLEYBALL

FORT WAYNE, Ind. – The Purdue Fort Wayne women’s volleyball team celebrated Senior Night on Friday (Nov. 13) and gave Kennedy McCants one last win on the Arnie Ball Court. The Mastodons beat Oakland 3-0 (26-24, 25-20, 25-15) in the penultimate regular season volleyball match of the season.

McCants was honored pregame with the traditional Senior Night poster given to Mastodons, but she earned her pregame flowers on the final point of the match. On match point and leading 24-15, Haiden Means set McCants twice in a row, and she converted her second swing to claim the match.

Throughout the rest of the match, it was the middle in the opposite rotation that powered the Mastodons. Mya Plemons had 12 kills on 19 errorless swings for a .632 hitting percentage. She now owns a .505 hitting percentage in league play, nearly .100 points better than the next-closest player. Plemons had four kills in each set.

The first set was the closest of the night. Oakland led 23-22 late, but Purdue Fort Wayne showed resolve to string together four of the next five and burn both of Oakland’s timeouts along the way. Riley Rosneck had a pair of kills and a block in the run, while McCants assisted on two blocks.

The Mastodons jumped out to a 7-1 lead early in set two thanks to three early kills from Plemons and one from each of Trinity Rye and Rosneck. Oakland clawed back to eventually lead 20-18, but the Mastodons took the shimmer off the Golden Grizzlies with a 7-0 finishing run. Rye had three aces and a kill, Miona Dimitric had a kill, and Means and Plemons combined for a block. Rye’s ace on set point gave the ‘Dons a 2-0 lead.

After splitting the first 18 points of the third set evenly, Purdue Fort Wayne used a 10-2 run to break the will of the Golden Grizzlies despite three timeouts along the way. From there, the ‘Dons coasted and rewarded McCants for her four-year career with the match-winning kill.

Means dished out 33 assists to lead the Mastodons to a .327 hitting percentage, the second match in a row to hit over the .300 threshold. Becky Barrett led the defense with 15 digs, while Dimitric added 10 of her own. The ‘Dons had nine blocks, paced by five from Plemons and four from McCants.

Purdue Fort Wayne improved to 15-13 and 9-6 in the Horizon League. Oakland fell to 11-17, 6-10 in the HL.

The Mastodons will head to Wright State on Saturday (Nov. 14) with seeding for the upcoming Horizon League Championship on the mind. With a win, the Mastodons would tie for third in the standings after being picked 11th in the preseason poll.

EVANSVILLE VOLLEYBALL

CARBONDALE, Ill. – Freshman Wren Jones recorded a career-high 20 kills to pace the University of Evansville volleyball team to a 3-2 win at Southern Illinois on Friday evening. It marked the Purple Aces’ second consecutive victory to complete the season.

Jones’ 20-kill performance passed her previous high of 16 kills. She also set a new mark with 14 digs. Ryan Scheu finished with 16 kills while McKenzie Laubach added 14. Brooke Herdes (23) and Kendall Agler (20) both reached the 20-dig mark in the win while Carsyn Kelley set her career high with 56 assists while posting 14 digs. Makenzie Miller had a solid effort with six kills and four blocks. Ella Swansiger completed the night with 16 kills to lead the Salukis.

Set 1 – UE 26, SIU 24

Southern Illinois jumped out to a 4-1 lead to open the match before going up 8-3. After the lead for the Salukis reached eight points at 15-7, UE started to make its way back. Trailing 18-11, the Aces scored four in a row with Lyla Fisher picking up consecutive kills. Following a time out, SIU scored to go back up by four, however, Evansville continued to fight back. Kills from McKenzie Laubach and Ryan Scheu made it a 1-point game at 21-20.

The Salukis regained a 24-22 lead but the Aces were not finished. Scoring the final four points, UE won the set by a 26-24 final. Laubach and Scheu each had a kill before combining on a block; Laubach added an ace to seal the set victory.

Set 2 – SIU 25, UE 20

After SIU went up 3-1, the Aces came back with kills by Fisher and Jones to tie the score at 4-4. Up by an 8-7 score, the Salukis scored four in a row to open a 5-point lead. SIU continued to add to its advantage, going up 24-14. Just when it looked like an easy set win for the Salukis, the Aces rallied. Helped by a Brooke Herdes ace and two Scheu kills, UE scored six unanswered points. Following a time out, the Salukis scored the clinching point to tie the match.

Set 3 – SIU 25, UE 18

Another early run put SIU in front at 3-1 while the Aces utilized the block to go up 6-4. Makenzie Miller picked up two block assists during the rally while another Jones kill gave her team an 8-6 edge. During the middle portion of the set, it was SIU taking control going up 16-10, but a tenacious UE squad continued to stay in the fight. Jones picked up a kill and ace to cut the Saluki lead to 19-17. Southern Illinois regrouped to finish the set on a 6-1 stretch to take a 2-1 match lead.

Set 4 – UE 25, SIU 22

Following a back-and-forth start to the set, the Aces took control in the middle stages. With the score knotted at 9-9, Angelica Gonzalez and Laubach picked up kills to put Evansville in front. Up 12-11, the Aces made a statement with six in a row to go up by seven. Jones had three kills during the stretch. The Salukis closed the gap late, but UE hung on to force a fifth set.

Set 5 – UE 15, SIU 12

Both teams took leads to open the fifth before consecutive aces by Kendall Agler helped UE go up 11-8. Southern Illinois came back with two points before the Aces went up 14-10. The Salukis cut the deficit in half until Jones had the clinching kill for the 5-set win.

VALPO VOLLEYBALL

The Valpo volleyball team dropped three tight sets (25-21, 25-23, 25-22) to visiting Drake Friday evening at the ARC in the Beacons’ penultimate home match of the season. Maggie Uhwat (Spring Grove, Ill./Richmond Burton Community [Central Michigan]) moved into second place in the program’s history in the 25-point era for service aces in a single season, while Ava Helming (Johnston, Iowa/Johnston) cracked the single-season top-10 in the 25-point era for kills.

How It Happened

Valpo forced five ties in the opening set, the latest coming at 18-18, but the Beacons were never able to gain the lead. Drake pulled away with a 6-0 run after the last tie score, and while Valpo held off three set points, Drake converted its fourth to take the 1-0 lead in the match.

The second set featured 13 ties and five lead changes, and the first real push for either side to take control came at the media timeout, as Valpo entered the stoppage with a 15-12 lead after a four-point spurt which included a pair of service aces from Uhwat.

The Bulldogs came out of the timeout with a 6-1 run to go up 18-16, but the Beacons erased that two-point lead a few points later with three in a row, two of which were kills by Helming, to claim a 21-20 lead. Drake responded with the next two points, however, and after four straight sideouts gave the Bulldogs set point at 24-23, a Valpo attack error closed the frame in Drake’s favor.

Valpo found itself down 17-9 in the third set, but quickly made it a battle once again with six points in a row to get within 17-15. But the Beacons were unable to close the gap any further, and while they eventually held off two match points, Drake converted its third chance to finish the contest.

Inside the Match

Uhwat recorded three service aces Friday evening, pushing her season total to 42 and leapfrogging a pair of players to move into second in program history in the 25-point era in the category. Only Ariel Cudney’s 2010 season with 54 aces surpassed Uhwat’s output this year.

Helming led all players with 17 kills on .353 hitting, boosting her season total to 379 kills, good for eighth in a season by a Valpo player in the 25-point era. The junior is within seven kills of moving up to sixth on that chart.

On the career side, Helming’s 17-kill night pushed her total to 1,036 career kills, moving into 18th place in program history in the category.

Helming also notched 11 digs for her ninth double-double of the year.

Jordyn Gove (Amarillo, Texas/Randall) joined Helming in double digits in the kills department with 12 kills, Olivia Wagner (Lakeville, Minn./Lakeville South) paced the Beacons with 21 assists and Keira Lucas (Brazil, Ind./Northview) led all players with 13 digs.

Jessica Pickett (Carmel, Ind./Carmel) registered a match-best five blocks, boosting her career total to 326 rejections and moving her into 13th place in program history in the category.

Valpo held a 40-36 advantage in the kills department over Drake, but committed 23 attack errors — 17 of which were not Bulldog blocks — to the Bulldogs’ 16, leading to Drake having a .202-.155 advantage in hitting percentage.

Next Up

Valpo (14-13, 6-9 MVC) closes out the regular season on Saturday at 5 p.m. against UNI. It will be Senior Night at the ARC, with Lindley Martin (North Judson, Ind./North Judson-San Pierre), Mara Thomas (Bogart, Ga./Athens Academy) and Maddie Kmetz (St. John, Ind./Andrean [Western Michigan]) being honored after the match.
