NFL TRADE DEADLINE ROUNDUP: KIRK COUSINS, KEENAN ALLEN JOIN CONTENDERS
Kirk Cousins is headed back to the Minnesota Vikings in a trade with the Las Vegas Raiders announced Tuesday afternoon.
The 15th-year quarterback was the highest-profile name to change teams on Tuesday before the NFL’s 4 p.m. ET trade deadline.
Las Vegas will receive a 2027 third-round pick in the deal and pay only $650,000 of Cousins’ $1.3 million base salary for the 2026 season. As part of the trade, which was pending Cousins passing a physical Tuesday night, the Vikings will pay the balance of Cousins’ salary and a $10 million roster bonus in 2027.
Cousins knows the city, coach and playbook extremely well from his six seasons in Minnesota (2018-23), a run that ended with an Achilles injury suffered in October 2023 against the Packers in Green Bay.
With the Vikings in the thick of a tightly contested NFC North race, Cousins could be the starter when Minnesota and Green Bay line up this weekend.
Cousins represents an upgrade over the recent performance Minnesota has received at the position. Carson Wentz posted a single-digit passer rating and committed three turnovers in the Vikings’ 23-6 home loss to the Buffalo Bills Monday, dropping Minnesota to 6-2 this season. Kyler Murray was the Week 1 starter but left that game before halftime with a concussion and has failed to spark the Vikings’ offense in five starts since.
Minnesota is 31st in the NFL in passing offense at 160.8 yards per game and 27th in points per game (18.3).
The change of address is a big shift for Cousins, who had 20 touchdowns and eight interceptions with Las Vegas. But the Raiders are 4-5 and adrift in the AFC playoff race as they pass the midseason mark. The Raiders will now turn to No. 1 overall draft pick Fernando Mendoza under center.
–The Indianapolis Colts traded six-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Keenan Allen to the San Francisco 49ers.
The Colts (2-7) will receive a 2027 sixth-round draft pick in exchange for Allen, who has 40 catches for 351 yards and one touchdown in eight games (four starts) this season.
The 49ers (7-1) have been dealing with injuries to wide receivers Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel, Christian Kirk and Demarcus Robinson.
Allen, 34, posted five 1,000-yard seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers between 2017 and 2023. He played for the Chicago Bears in 2024, rejoined the Chargers in 2025 and signed a one-year deal worth up to $8.32 million with the Colts in August.
Allen has recorded 1,095 catches for 12,402 yards and 71 touchdowns in 179 career games (156 starts) since the then-San Diego Chargers selected him in the third round in 2013. He was the NFL’s Comeback Player of the Year in 2017.
–Allen wasn’t the only receiver to leave Indianapolis, as the Colts granted Josh Downs’ request for a trade and sent him to the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Chiefs traded fourth- and fifth-round picks in 2027 to acquire Downs, primarily a slot receiver in Indy, and pad a depth chart severely dented by injuries. Kansas City also received a 2027 seventh-round pick in the deal.
Downs is in the final year of his contract — a four-year, $5.52 million rookie deal — and will become a free agent in March unless Kansas City offers him an extension. He had seven receptions for 72 yards in the Colts’ 33-30 loss at Kansas City in Week 2.
The Colts’ moves Tuesday continued a fire sale that began in the wake of the firing of general manager Chris Ballard in October. All-Pro guard Quenton Nelson was traded to the Seattle Seahawks and defensive tackle DeForest Buckner went to the 49ers.
–The Buffalo Bills bolstered their secondary by acquiring safety Amani Hooker from the Tennessee Titans.
Buffalo sent a second-round pick to Tennessee for Hooker and a fifth-rounder.
Hooker, 28, has matched his career high in interceptions in seven games (all starts) this season. He also has 52 tackles, one tackle for loss and six pass breakups.
Since Tennessee drafted him in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft, Hooker has played in 103 games (74 starts) while recording 468 tackles, 17 interceptions, 14 tackles for loss, five forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and 45 pass breakups.
–The AFC West-leading Denver Broncos bolstered their defense just before Tuesday’s deadline by acquiring linebacker Daiyan Henley from the division rival Los Angeles Chargers.
The Broncos (7-2) gave up a fourth-round draft pick in 2027 and a fifth-round selection in 2028 to the Chargers, who are 0-8 to start the season.
Henley, 26, has 51 tackles with one interception, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries in eight games (all starts) this season.
Henley was a third-round draft pick by the Chargers in 2023. The Los Angeles native has 317 tackles with four interceptions, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries in 56 career games (41 starts).
Henley is in the final year of his rookie deal and was in line to become a free agent at the end of the season.
–The Baltimore Ravens acquired center Ryan Neuzil from the Atlanta Falcons for guard Andrew Vorhees.
The Ravens also said they were receiving “undisclosed draft compensation” in the trade, which multiple reports said was a 2028 sixth-round pick.
Neuzil, 29, is in the final year of a two-year contract extension he signed ahead of the 2025 season. He’s played in 69 games and made 38 starts — including all 17 last season and all nine this season — since he signed with Atlanta as an undrafted free agent after the 2021 NFL Draft.
The addition of Neuzil could move Cam Jurgens, acquired from the Philadelphia Eagles via a trade in October, back to his more natural guard position from center, where he’s started since being acquired by Baltimore.
Vorhees, 27, was a seventh-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft after tearing his ACL at the NFL Scouting Combine ahead of the draft. He has appeared in 37 games and made 22 starts over the past three seasons, including 17 starts in 2025.
###################
JAGUARS GO ALL IN TO MAKE A SUPER BOWL RUN WITH A FLURRY OF MOVES, MORE NFL TRADES EXPECTED
The Jaguars loaded up to make a run in the AFC. The Bears got an immediate impact from Jeffery Simmons. The Seahawks, 49ers and Lions bolstered their teams.
Several significant players have already changed uniforms. More moves are expected before the NFL’s trade deadline Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET.
Everyone is watching the Minnesota Vikings (6-2) and wondering what they’ll do after Carson Wentz’s dismal performance against Buffalo on Monday night. The Vikings have to be calling teams looking for an upgrade at quarterback. Kyler Murray is dealing with a hamstring issue and the offense has been mediocre with him. Wentz played well in Week 1 filling in for Murray and won his next start but he got pulled for Max Brosmer in a 23-6 loss to the Bills.
Would Las Vegas consider sending Kirk Cousins back to Minnesota? The Raiders (4-5) aren’t going anywhere and have Fernando Mendoza waiting but it takes two teams to make a trade.
Mac Jones is too valuable as a backup to Brock Purdy so it’s unlikely the San Francisco 49ers (7-1) would move him.
Daniel Jones finished the 2024 season in Minnesota so he’s familiar with Kevin O’Connell’s offense. The Indianapolis Colts already sent guard Quenton Nelson to Seattle and defensive tackle DeForest Buckner to San Francisco in separate trades on Oct. 27. Running back Jonathan Taylor, wide receiver Josh Downs and Jones could be next to go.
Jacoby Brissett was traded from Arizona to Baltimore last week after Lamar Jackson went down with a thumb injury and backup Tyler Huntley sustained a season-ending toe injury.
Jacksonville went all in on Monday, acquiring defensive tackles Jordan Davis and Davon Godchaux and safety Jessie Bates III. The Jaguars (6-2) sent a 2027 first-round draft pick and a 2029 second-rounder to Philadelphia for Davis. They gave up a 2027 second-round pick and a 2028 fifth-rounder to get Bates from Atlanta, and a 2028 sixth-rounder that could be elevated to a 2027 sixth-rounder went to New Orleans for Godchaux.

REPORTS: BENGALS ACQUIRE DE ARNOLD EBIKETIE FROM EAGLES
The Cincinnati Bengals acquired pass rusher Arnold Ebiketie from the Philadelphia Eagles ahead of Tuesday’s trade deadline, multiple outlets reported.
The Eagles are receiving a 2027 sixth-round draft pick in exchange, according to NFL Network.
Ebiketie, 27, has played in nine games (no starts) at outside linebacker in his first season with the Eagles, logging 25 tackles while playing nearly half of the team’s defensive snaps.
A second-round pick by Atlanta out of Penn State in 2022, Ebiketie has collected 16.5 sacks, 43 quarterback hits, 154 tackles and four forced fumbles in 76 career games (12 starts) for the Falcons (2022-25) and Eagles.
Philadelphia (2-7) is on a seven-game losing streak and building future draft capital. The Eagles dealt defensive tackle Jordan Davis to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday and have 10 picks in the first two rounds over the next three years.
Cincinnati (6-2) is on a four-game winning streak and shares the AFC North lead with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Bengals are seeking their first playoff appearance since 2022.

GEORGIA NABS TOP SPOT IN CFP RANKINGS, WHILE NOTRE DAME JUMPS AHEAD OF MIAMI AFTER BEATING ‘CANES
There was bound to be some whiplash involved in the release of the second version of this season’s College Football Playoff rankings — especially coming off a weekend packed with big games that would reset an opening-week top 25 that produced more confusion than certitude.
Consider it done: Yes, Georgia moved to No. 1, as expected, when the latest list came out Tuesday. Meanwhile, Notre Dame’s win over Miami resulted in the Irish moving up six spots (to No. 5) and the Hurricanes moving down six (to No. 7), with poor Indiana wondering what it did to drop five notches to No. 9 when it didn’t even play.
“Last week we said there would be a lot of movement in these rankings, and there certainly was,” said Hunter Yurachek, the chair of the 13-person CFP selection committee. “Not a single team is in the same spot they held last week.”
The Hoosiers’ fall, along with undefeated UCLA’s vault up four spots to No. 4, were among moves that looked like “corrections” by a selection committee that, by most accounts, had a rough opening week.
There are three more Tuesday-night rankings shows before the bracket is set on Dec. 6 — the day after a slate of conference title games that will go by the wayside next season when the playoff expands to 24 teams.
But this year’s bracket involves 12 teams and the rest of this week’s top 12 were: No. 2 Utah, No. 3 Alabama, No. 6 Texas, No. 8 Tennessee, No. 10 BYU, No. 11 Kentucky and No. 12 Texas Tech.
The Red Raiders would be the first team out, with No. 24 Boise State of the Pac-12 getting the last spot as the best team among the Group of Six.
A busy week among the top 10 was reason for the flux
Miami’s six-spot drop was severe for a team that lost by a touchdown on the road and was without arguably its best player, Malachi Toney. It’s almost certain Toney’s absence, for however long it lasts, will impact Miami both on the field and in the committee room, where they take player availability into account.
“You have that combination of Miami losing as a No. 1 team and then five teams behind them having some signature wins,” Yurachek said. “The committee thought moving those teams ahead of Miami was the right thing to do.”
Yurachek explained that Indiana was “probably a victim of having a bye week at the wrong time.” That the biggest weekend of the season also involved losses by three teams the Hoosiers had previously beaten did nothing for the their strength of schedule.
And UCLA’s two-touchdown pull-away over a Minnesota team that took the Hoosiers to overtime the week before, made the Bruins “look like the number-four team in the country,” Yurachek said.
UCLA and Utah are the lone remaining undefeated teams in BCS.
SEC gets five teams in projected bracket
As usual, the Southeastern Conference, now featuring five teams with two losses, got the most love. It would have five teams in this week’s projected playoff bracket.
Hardly anyone would argue over Alabama (7-2) moving up two spots to No. 3 after the Tide’s 31-13 win over LSU. Kentucky (7-2) got blasted 34-6 by Tennessee (7-2) and dropped six spots to No. 11, staying in the bracket based much on its fourth-ranked strength of schedule.
The Big Ten and Big 12 had two teams each — BYU (7-2) only dropped one spot after its loss to Utah — and Miami was the ACC’s only team in the bracket, with Wake Forest (8-1) ranked 13th and badly in need of a rematch with the ‘Canes in the ACC title game.
Teams outside the top 12 have chance to state their case
The teams ranked 15-18 — Iowa (7-2), Oregon (6-3), South Carolina (6-3) and USC (7-2) — are all contenders with big games left on their schedules that could easily move them into the hunt.
South Carolina, for instance, plays Georgia in two weeks. Iowa and Oregon could still find their way into the Big Ten title game and play for their league’s automatic berth. And for USC, the push starts Saturday at Indiana and closes Nov. 28 with its traditional meeting with UCLA.
Yurachek called USC “a team we should all keep an eye on.”
If the playoffs started today
No. 12 Boise State at No. 5 Notre Dame — They played last season, a 28-7 Irish win under the Golden Dome.
No. 11 Kentucky at No. 6 Texas — The SEC’s round-robin continues (and someone finally gets eliminated).
No. 10 BYU at No. 7 Miami — In 1990, Ty Detmer helped BYU knock off No. 1 Miami on his way to winning the Heisman.
No. 9 Indiana at No. 8 Tennessee — Did anyone notice when the Vols scored twice late in the span of 30 seconds to steal the 2020 Gator Bowl from the Hoosiers, 23-22?

NBA ROUNDUP: IN REUNION WITH JAYLEN BROWN, CELTICS THUMP SIXERS
Paul George scored 36 points against his former team to highlight the Boston Celtics’ 123-101 road victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday night.
George, who was traded to the Celtics in the Jaylen Brown blockbuster in July, finished 6 of 11 from outside the arc. He scored 14 points in the fourth quarter to help the visitors win comfortably. The anticipated matchup between Jayson Tatum and Brown began with a chilly reception as Brown barely acknowledged Tatum’s pregame greeting.
Brown was cold thereafter as well, finishing with 13 points and a game-high four turnovers, while Tatum supplied 21 points. Boston, which made 22 of 49 3-point attempts (44.9%), has the best record in the Eastern Conference at 9-2, just ahead of the 76ers (9-3). Payton Pritchard (18 points) and Sam Hauser (12) each knocked down four 3-pointers for the Celtics.
Tyrese Maxey scored 24 points to pace the Sixers, who were facing the Celtics for the first time since rallying from a 3-1 deficit to win the teams’ first-round playoff series last spring.

Franz Wagner put up a season-high 33 points, Desmond Bane and Wendell Carter Jr. contributed key hoops to two lead-stretching runs in the second half and Orlando snapped a four-game losing streak with a road triumph over Sacramento.
Anthony Black chipped in with 26 points and led an inspired defensive effort for the Magic, who had opened a four-game Western swing with losses to the Los Angeles Clippers and Golden State Warriors.

Dawson Mercer scored twice against his former team, including the tiebreaking power-play goal with 8:02 remaining in the third period, and the host Winnipeg Jets recorded a 4-2 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday in a highly charged environment.
The Jets won their fourth straight following a nine-game skid as their fans spent time derisively chanting at Connor Hellebuyck.

Bobby Brink scored 2:53 into the third period, and Jesper Wallstedt made 27 saves for the Wild, who extended their point streak to nine (7-0-2) and matched their franchise-record win total through 20 games of a season with 13.
Price received nearly a four-minute standing ovation from the Bell Centre crowd before the game. He was then added to the team’s Ring of Honor, one day after being inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. Rookie Jacob Fowler made 22 saves and captain Nick Suzuki scored for the Canadiens, who extended their point streak to (8-0-3).
Capitals 3, Senators 2 (OT)

Panthers 4, Blue Jackets 1
Sam Bennett scored twice and Lars Eller and Sam Reinhart added a goal apiece to lead Florida over Columbus.
Aaron Ekblad added two assists and Jacob Markstrom made 37 saves as the Panthers overcame a 38-28 shot disadvantage to snap a two-game losing streak.

BASEBALL
ALL-STAR CATCHER, MANAGER BOB BOONE DIES AT 78
Bob Boone, a decorated catcher who won the 1980 World Series with the Philadelphia Phillies, has died at 78.
The Major League Baseball Players Association and Boone’s son, Bret, confirmed the four-time All-Star’s passing on Tuesday. Details of his death were not immediately available.
Boone also won seven Gold Gloves during a 19-year with the Phillies (1972-81), then-California Angels (1982-88) and Kansas City Royals (1989-90). He retired with 1,838 hits, 105 home runs and 826 RBIs in 2,264 games.
Part of an esteemed three-generation baseball family, Boone was the son of All-Star infielder Ray Boone and the father of All-Stars Aaron Boone and Bret Boone.
Aaron Boone is the manager of the New York Yankees, who released a statement.
“The Yankees mourn the passing of Bob Boone, who grew up in our sport and spent a lifetime giving back to the game he loved as an exceptional player, respected manager and distinguished executive,” the statement read. “His legacy is profound, and we can see the values he embodied were carried forward by his son, Aaron, in his leadership of the Yankees. Our entire organization joins the baseball community in extending its heartfelt condolences to the entire Boone family and all who had the privilege of being touched by his friendship.”
Boone batted .412 (7 for 17) with two doubles and four RBIs during the Phillies’ six-game World Series victory against the Royals in 1980.
He made the National League All-Star team three times with the Phillies (1976, 1978 and 1979) and was inducted into the Philadelphia Baseball Wall of Fame in 2005. He was an American League All-Star in 1983.
On Sept. 30, 1984 while playing for the Angels, he caught Mike Witt’s perfect game against the Texas Rangers.
“The Angels join the baseball community in mourning the passing of Bob Boone,” the Los Angeles Angels said in a statement. “Our franchise leader in games caught, Boone’s leadership, exceptional defense and knowledge of the game made him an invaluable presence behind the plate and helped the Angels win two division titles. During his seven years with the Club, Boone would earn four Gold Glove Awards, the most by a catcher in Angels history. His impact on our pitchers and the example he set for his teammates are lasting parts of his legacy with our franchise.”
Boone ranks third all-time in games caught with 2,225, trailing only Hall of Famers Ivan Rodriguez (2,427) and Carlton Fisk (2,226).
He later managed the Royals (1995-97) and Cincinnati Reds (2001-03), compiling an overall record of 371-444.
“He embraced a leadership role in the Players Association early in his career and earned a reputation as a strong and principled voice in the advancement of player rights in the 1970s and ’80s,” the MLBPA said in a statement. “… The player community, past and present, owes him an enormous debt of gratitude for his commitment and dedication to the union and its mission.”

BREWERS’ PAT MURPHY, WHITE SOX’S WILL VENABLE WIN MANAGER OF YEAR AWARDS
Pat Murphy of the World Series champion Milwaukee Brewers made MLB history with his third consecutive National League Manager of the Year Award on Tuesday night.
Will Venable, whose Chicago White Sox became the first team in MLB history to reach the postseason after losing 100-plus games in each of the previous two seasons, was named American League Manager of the Year for the first time.
The 67-year-old Murphy, in his third season at the helm in Milwaukee, is the 10th manager to win the award three or more times. Bobby Cox, Tony La Russa and Buck Showalter share the record with four wins apiece since the Baseball Writers’ Association of America established the award in 1983.
The Brewers won a franchise-record 103 games, most in the majors, and their fourth consecutive NL Central title in the 2026 regular season. Manager of the Year voting took place before the start of the playoffs and Milwaukee’s run to its first World Series crown. It was the ninth time that a Manager of the Year also won the World Series in the same year.
Venable, in his second season as manager, guided the White Sox to an 84-78 record, second place in the AL Central and a playoff berth. Chicago swept the Houston Astros in two games in the AL wild-card round before losing to the Cleveland Guardians in five games in the AL Division Series.
The White Sox lost a modern-era record 121 games in 2024 before Venable took the job. The team improved to 60-102 in 2025 and then made a 24-win improvement from that record in 2026. The White Sox finished fifth in the majors in runs scored (776) and home runs (221).
Venable, 44, totaled 111 points in voting by 30 members of the BBWAA. He received 15 first-place votes, 11 second-place votes and three third-place votes.
Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash finished second with 98 points (12 firsts, 12 seconds, two thirds). The Boston Red Sox’s Chad Tracy, who took over for the fired Alex Cora in April as interim manager, received 47 points (three firsts, five seconds, 17 thirds). Cleveland’s Stephen Vogt was fourth with nine points, while the New York Yankees’ Aaron Boone finished fifth with four points and Houston’s Joe Espada finished sixth with one point. The Astros and Espada parted ways after the season.
Murphy finished with 124 points, 20 first-place votes, seven second-place votes and three third-place votes. Atlanta Braves manager Walt Weiss placed second with 86 points (seven firsts, 16 seconds, three thirds), followed by the Philadelphia Phillies’ Don Mattingly, who took over for the fired Rob Thomson in April as interim manager, with 25 points (one first, three seconds, 11 thirds). San Diego Padres first-year manager Craig Stammen was fourth with 24 points and two first-place votes, followed by the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Dave Roberts with seven points, the Chicago Cubs’ Craig Counsell with three points and the Pittsburgh Pirates’ Don Kelly with one point.

REPORTS: METS TO MEET WITH FREE-AGENT LHP TARIK SKUBAL
The New York Mets will meet with left-hander Tarik Skubal, the consensus top player on the free-agent market this offseason, multiple outlets reported Tuesday.
The New York Post and The Athletic reported the meeting will take place next week. Mets executives are in Las Vegas this week attending MLB’s annual general managers’ meetings.
Skubal, who will turn 30 on Nov. 20, entered the market last month after an eventful contract year. He began the season with the Detroit Tigers, underwent elbow surgery in May but only missed 5 1/2 weeks, was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers for prospects Zyhir Hope, River Ryan and Brady Smith on Aug. 2, and then pitched once each in the National League Division Series and National League Championship Series for LA.
Between Detroit and Los Angeles, Skubal posted a 12-7 record and 2.72 ERA in 26 games (all starts) last season. He struck out 186 batters in 158 2/3 innings. The injury and trade helped end Skubal’s streak of Cy Young awards at two. He won the AL award in 2024 and 2025.
Those accolades, plus his overall track record (66-44, 3.02 ERA lifetime), are why his next contract is expected to set a record for the largest given to a pitcher, surpassing the $325 million the Dodgers gave Yoshinobu Yamamoto in 2023. Skubal was awarded a record $32 million in his salary arbitration hearing against the Tigers in February.
The Mets’ reported interest in Skubal is not surprising. New York entered the offseason lacking a veteran ace. Rookie Nolan McLean is the club’s top returning starting pitcher.
Right-hander Clay Holmes missed a long stretch with a leg fracture and then was dealt to the Chicago Cubs at the Aug. 3 trade deadline. Right-hander Freddy Peralta, a winter acquisition, was traded to the Tampa Bay Rays on Aug. 2.
The club’s current projected rotation includes McLean, left-hander Sean Manaea, right-hander Christian Scott and left-hander Zac Thornton. Right-handers Kodai Senga and Tylor Megill are also options.
New York will have stiff competition for Skubal. The Dodgers are expected to pursue him, and reports this week said the San Diego Padres also had interest.

INDIANA MEN’S SOCCER
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — One trophy earned, two more in Indiana’s target sights.
Big Ten regular season champion Indiana men’s soccer (14-1-3, 7-1-2 B1G) begins its run for a second trophy Wednesday in the Big Ten Tournament. The No. 1-seeded Hoosiers host No. 5 Maryland (12-4-1, 5-4-1 B1G) in the semifinal round, seeking a 17th Big Ten Tournament title, 37th overall conference title and 13th conference championship double.
Kickoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. ET from Jerry Yeagley Field at Bill Armstrong Stadium. Tickets are on sale here – $11 general admission, $5 for youth. Fans unable to attend can watch the match via the Big Ten Network.
KICKING OFF
• Indiana received a bye as the six-team tournament’s No. 1 seed. Maryland had to beat Michigan State, 2-0, in their quarterfinal on Sunday in Bloomington to advance to Wednesday’s match.
• The Hoosiers are coming off back-to-back ranked victories, a 3-1 result at No. 17 UCLA on Oct. 30 before the 3-2 win over No. 9 Michigan State to clinch their 20th Big Ten regular season title.
To date, Indiana has balanced ample scoring (2.11 goals per game) with stubborn defense (0.61 goals against average) to win 14 of 18 games in the regular season, with one lone defeat.
• Wednesday’s match could have major implications on NCAA Tournament play, as Maryland currently ranks No. 4 in the RPI, right in front of No. 5 IU. So, this match could essentially be for a top-four seed in the NCAA Tournament, which provides home-field advantage up until the NCAA College Cup.
• Indiana boasts an 11-0-1 home record as well as a 4-0-1 mark against ranked opponents this season.
ABOUT THE TERRAPINS
• Maryland averages 1.8 goals per game while conceding a 1.5 goals against average. The Terrapins have won four of their last five matches, the only loss coming at Washington, a 2-1 result.
• Freshman forward Rodrigo Neri lead the Terps with eight goals and 18 points. Sophomore midfielder Henry Bernstein leads the Big Ten in assists with 10.
• The Top Drawer Soccer Midseason lists featured two Terps in the Top 100 players list – Bernstein and Farouk Cisse – and four in the Top 100 Freshmen list – Franklin Affanyi, Neri, Said El Eyssami and Luka Juricic.
• Head coach Sasho Cirovski leads Maryland in his 34th season, carrying a 463-184-77 record during his time in College Park. Cirovski is the winningest active head coach in NCAA Division I men’s soccer with a 489-196-83 career record.
SERIES HISTORY
• Since it joined the Big Ten Conference in 2014, Maryland has challenged IU as the second-winningest program in conference play over that span, by percentage (.714 to .627).
• In that stretch, Indiana boasts a 68-21-21 league record, has totaled 223 points in conference regular season play and has won 10 Big Ten Championships. Maryland ranks second in all three categories with a 58-30-22 mark, 196 points and seven titles.
• Head-to-head, Maryland head coach Sasho Cirovski has a one-game advantage on IU’s Todd Yeagley. Since 2014, the Terps have seven victories to Indiana’s six, and six more matches have ended in a draw or penalty shootout.
• Indiana gave one of its best performances of the year in their Big Ten Conference regular season meeting on Oct. 2, a 3-1 victory at Armstrong Stadium. IU scored twice in the opening 20 minutes, and Stephane Njike – a Maryland transfer – put the game away with a 63rd-minute strike, accentuated by his signature backflip celebration. The Terps pulled one back in the 71st minute and would have come within one if not for Michal Mroz’s 87th-minute penalty save, his fourth save of the night. Njike had one goal and one assist, Easton Bogard two assists, Charlie Heuer the winning goal and Collins Oduro an assist off the bench.
• The programs have faced off six times in the Big Ten Tournament. Maryland clinched the 2014 conference tourney title with a 2-1 win in College Park. The last five tournament meetings have all come in the semifinal round. Indiana has a 3-1-2 record against Maryland in the Big Ten Tournament.
####################
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Indiana men’s soccer midfielder Charlie Heuer featured both in the Top Drawer Soccer Team of the Week Tuesday (Nov. 10) as well as the Big Ten weekly honors as the conference’s Offensive Player of the Week.
The honors mark the second straight week a Hoosier has appeared in both lists – last week Oliver Moller-Jensen earned his third Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week nod.
Heuer contributed to all three goals in Indiana’s 3-2 victory over No. 9 Michigan State last Wednesday (Nov. 4), helping the Hoosiers clinch the Big Ten regular season title with one goal and two assists. Heuer assisted both of Easton Bogard’s goals in the opening 20 minutes before scoring what would be the winning goal.
Heuer has recorded a goal in consecutive ranked victories, having scored the opener in IU’s 3-1 victory at No. 17 UCLA on October 30. With Wednesday’s performance, Heuer surpassed the 25-career points milestone.
Heuer and the Hoosiers kickoff their quest for the Big Ten Championship Double Wednesday (Nov. 11) night, hosting No. 5-seeded Maryland in the conference tournament semifinal. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. ET on Jerry Yeagley Field at Bill Armstrong Stadium.

INDIANA FOOTBALL
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – After an idle week, Indiana saw the College Football Playoff selection committee place the program at No. 9. The Hoosiers will host No. 18 USC on Merchants Bank Field at Memorial Stadium in Week 11.
Indiana has now been among the teams in playoff consideration for 13-straight CFP polls dating back to 2024, all of those among the top 10 and the last 14 among the top 10. It is the 19th time in program history that IU has been among the contenders for a playoff spot.

The 12 participating teams in the College Football Playoff will be the five conference champions ranked highest by the CFP selection committee, plus the next seven highest-ranked schools. The four highest-ranked schools will be seeded one through four and will receive a first-round bye. The remaining schools will be seeded 5-12 based on their final ranking. If any of the five highest-ranked conference champions falls outside of the top 12, they will be seeded at the bottom of the 12-team pool.
The eight schools seeded No. 5-12 will play in the CFP First Round with the higher seeds hosting the lower seeds either on campus or at other sites designated by the higher-seeded institution (No. 12 at No. 5, No. 11 at No. 6, No. 10 at No. 7 and No. 9 at No. 8.).

DEFENSE FORCES TURNOVERS

PURDUE WOMEN’S SOCCER
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The No. 13 Purdue Boilermakers (No. 3 seed) will host the Big Ten Tournament Championship match against the No. 3 Michigan State Spartans (No. 4 seed) at Folk Field on Friday, November 13.
After defeating No. 21 Penn State in overtime 2-1 in the quarterfinals, and advancing on penalty shootout against Wisconsin in the semifinals, Purdue was left as the highest remaining seed in the highly-competitive Big Ten Tournament, earning the right to host the championship on their home pitch.
Irene Campo has led the Boilermaker offense throughout the tournament, scoring three of the team’s four total goals in the first two rounds. Jaiden Anderson also found the back of the net during the tournament, continuing her award-winning campaign.
Grace Miller has played every minute of the tournament in goal for Purdue, registering five saves across both matches, including knocking away two of Wisconsin’s penalty kicks to help clinch the semifinal victory.
This is the second time Purdue will be a part of the Big Ten Tournament Championship in program history, with the only other time coming in 2007. Purdue will look to remain perfect in conference championship games, as the 2007 match marked a 3-1 victory over Ohio State in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Purdue is now 16-2-3 overall this year, with a historic 9-2-1 Big Ten record, looking to earn their fourth ranked victory of the year in front of a home crowd in the conference tournament final.
The championship match will be played at Folk Field in West Lafayette, Indiana at 6:00 p.m. est on Friday, Nov. 13 and available for streaming on the Big Ten Network. Folk Field will be a great environment for high-level soccer, as tickets for the match are sold out.
SCOUTING THE OPPONENTS
The No. 3 (No. 4 seed) Michigan State Spartans have been one of the best teams in both the Big Ten and the nation all year, never dropping out of the Top-10 in the IWSOC weekly polls. The Spartans post a 15-3-2 overall record, with a 9-3-0 record in Big Ten play.
Michigan State has played well against ranked opponents this year, defeating No. 6 North Carolina, No. 12 Colorado, No. 16 UCLA, and taking down a ranked Washington-team both in the regular season and in this tournament. To reach the final, Michigan State took down the No. 20 Washington Huskies 3-2 in overtime in the quarterfinal, along with their in-state rival the Michigan Wolverines 1-0 this past Sunday.
Forward Kennedy Bell has led the Spartan offense this year, recording eight goals, 11 assists, and 58 shots on goals. Noelle Henning and Bella Schopp have teamed up in goal for Michigan State all year, saving a combined 49 balls.
SERIES HISTORY
Michigan State leads the record over Purdue 12-11-2. Earlier this year, the Boilers defeated the then-No. 2 Spartans for one of the biggest upsets in program history, 2-1 style at Folk Field. In that victory, Emilia Deppe and Irene Campo both snuck past the Spartan keeper to find the back of the net. Grace Miller played all 90 minutes in goal for the Boilers, making six saves and only allowing one goal from the Spartans.
Prior to the October victory, the Boilers had lost back-to-back matchups against the Spartans, the last time being in 2024 in East Lansing. The Boilers also lost the first-ever matchup between the teams during the inaugural 1998 season, falling 3-0.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. – The University of Notre Dame football program is set to face off against the University of Washington in a home-and-home series in 2031 and 2034.
The Irish are set to host the Huskies on September 27, 2031 in the first matchup between the two teams since 2009. Notre Dame will then travel to Washington on November 11, 2034.
Notre Dame holds an 8-0 record over Washington all-time with a split 4-0 record in both home and away contests against the Huskies. In the latest installment of the meetings between the programs, the Irish claimed a 37-30 overtime victory at Notre Dame Stadium in the 2009 season. Jimmy Clausen threw for 422 yards and a pair of touchdowns, and Golden Tate posted 244 receiving yards on nine catches with a touchdown. Kyle McCarthy’s pass breakup on fourth down in overtime sealed the win for the Irish at home.
The 1995 clash between Notre Dame and Washington in Husky Stadium featured a matchup between a pair of Top 25 teams and jump-started a six-game winning streak for the Irish. Trailing 14-7 going into the final quarter, Notre Dame outscored the host Huskies 22-7 in the final stanza to claim a 29-21 road victory. An Autry Denson rushing score followed by a two-point conversion by Ron Powlus to Derrick Mayes put the Irish up 22-21. Allen Rossum then used a 76-yard interception return to give the Irish the 29-21 win on the road. It was the 30th ranked win of Lou Holtz’s career at Notre Dame.
The two sides first met in 1948 when the Irish took a 46-0 win at Notre Dame Stadium to keep Notre Dame undefeated at 9-0. The Frank Leahy-led Irish then made the program’s first trip to the state of Washington and captured a 27-7 win at a sold-out Husky Stadium in their first road contest of the season en route to capturing the 1949 National Championship.
More information about each game including kickoff time and broadcast details will be available at a later date.

BALL STATE FOOTBALL
MUNCIE, Ind. — Ball State tries to rebound from a heartbreaking defeat in overtime last Wednesday, 31-30 at Massachusetts, while hoping to upend Buffalo’s four-game win streak.
It is #MACtion Night at Scheumann Stadium, with the Cardinals honoring any military veterans and active-duty military and service members while Mid-American Conference football plays under the lights in Muncie. Fans are encouraged to wear BLACK for Wednesday night’s game that is sponsored by the Indiana Army National Guard.
Wednesday night’s clash between the Cardinals and Bulls is the only weekday #MACtion game conducted in Muncie this season, with Ball State opening midweek play at UMass last Wednesday, and playing on just a six-day week next Tuesday at Ohio. Between the Bulls and Bobcats, Ball State plays two of the league’s top three teams during its three-week #MACtion slate.
The Cardinals host a familiar face on Wednesday, with Buffalo entering Scheumann Stadium under the watchful eye of former Ball State head coach Pete Lembo — in what is his first visit to Muncie as coach of the Bulls. Lembo led the Cardinals for five seasons (2011-15) before Mike Neu took the coaching reigns in 2016. Lembo was 33-29 (.532) as the Cardinals’ field boss, with a 23-13 (.575) mark in the MAC. He guided the 2012 Cardinals to an appearance in the Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Bowl in St. Petersburg, Florida, then led the 2013 Cardinals to a second-place MAC finish and a trip to the GoDaddy Bowl in Mobile, Alabama.
Still smarting from its gut-wrenching defeat in Amherst, the Ball State hopes to continue building on an offensive unit that has gained over 350 yards in total offense over five straight weeks. While the defense forced a pair of turnovers at UMass and the Cardinals won the turnover battle (2-0) for just the second time in nine weeks, Ball State surrendered 455 yards overall. After taking a 10-7 lead on Brody Boehm’s 22-yard field goal with 33 seconds left before halftime, the Cardinals’ secondary allowed a 64- yard UMass TD to stymie their momentum just 12 seconds before intermission.
The Cardinals executed a textbook two-minute drill on a 9-play, 75-yard scoring drive that knotted the score in the final minute of regulation, with quarterback Keldric Luster scoring on a 2-yard run. Boehm added the extra point for the tie. In overtime, Ball State scored first, on a 1-yard jaunt by Jalen Bonds, his second score of the night, but disaster struck when Boehm’s point-after attempt sailed wide. UMass capitalized and won with its own touchdown on the ensuing drive.
WHAT A WIN MEANS
— Ball State will beat Buffalo for the 12th time in 15 overall meetings, and down the Bulls for the sixth time in seven games at Scheumann Stadium.
— The Cardinals will raise their home record to 7-2 over the past two seasons under Mike Uremovich.
— Ball State will move back to .500 (3-3) in the MAC with two regular season games to play.
— The Cardinals will remain in bowl contention at 4-6 overall, matching their win total from 2025.
BY THE NUMBERS
9 — Ball State is one of just nine FBS teams to boast two players averaging at least 5.6 yards per carry over at least 60 rushing tries this season.
46 — Stu Smith returned to action at UMass to record a careerhigh nine tackles for the third time this year. He leads Ball State with 46 stops overall.
338 — With 370, 360, 435, 417 & 350 yards in total offense in consecutive weeks, Ball State has raised its average to 338.9 total yards per game
998 — Wednesday is Game #998 in Ball State football annals. The regular season closes vs. CMU, in the 1000th game in program history.
INSIDE THE SERIES: BUFFALO
— Former Ball State coach Pete Lembo returns to Scheumann Stadium for the first time since last coaching the Cardinals from 2011-15.
— Ironically, it was the teams’ last meeting — almost two years ago to the day (Nov. 12, 2024) — that Lembo’s successor, Mike Neu, coached in his final game at Ball State. Following a 51-48 overtime defeat, Neu was relieved of his duties four days later.
— The Cardinals and Bulls have squared off three times before in midweek #MACtion games. Buffalo triumphed in the most recent affair, capturing a Tuesday night win at home by just three points in 2024. The final score of 51-48 marked the most combined points (99) in series history.
— The 2024 victory gave Buffalo its first home win versus the Cardinals, with Ball State winning the previous five.
— Five of the last seven meetings have gone in Ball State’s favor, with the 2020 MAC Championship game headlining that stretch. The Cardinals defeated the 23rd-ranked Bulls to capture the program’s sixth MAC crown.
— Ball State has claimed five out of six contests versus Buffalo in Muncie, dating to the first meeting in 1969. The Bulls’ only win in Muncie came in 2017 (40-24).
— The Bulls interrupted Ball State’s historic unbeaten (12-0) regular season in 2008, defeating the Cardinals in the MAC Championship, 42-24.

Second Half
IU Indy maintained its double-digit lead early in the third, but things quickly unraveled for the visitors. Indiana State’s defense led to quick offense, with Heaven Shockley, Youngblood and Singhateh all converting off Jaguar turnovers to pull the Blue and White within four. Another Youngblood steal led to an easy basket to level the score, and the junior knocked down a corner three to put the Trees back in front with under a minute to play in the third.

The scoring continued, as Marshall drained another three-ball while Natalia Williams tacked on two buckets of her own to give the Trees an 80-59 advantage with just under four minutes to play.

Caden Symons recorded nine points. AJ Casey led the Purple Aces with eight boards. Quintero Barnett paced the Blue Raiders with 18 points.

Symons followed up with a basket on the next possession that gave Evansville its first lead since a 4-2 advantage in the opening minutes.
MTSU regrouped to go back up by six at 45-39 before Aaron Gutman hit from downtown with just under nine minutes remaining to cut the deficit in half. Inside the 7-minute mark, the Blue Raiders converted a 3-point play to go in front 50-46 while Makuei Riek knocked down two free throws on the next trip down the floor to make it a 2-point game.

The lead for the Blue Raiders reached 10 with 1:30 remaining, but the Aces had one more run.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Soccer resumes action in the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament Thursday at 6 p.m. when the sixth-seeded Screaming Eagles take on No. 2 seed Southeast Missouri State University in a semifinal matchup from Martin, Tennessee.
Thursday’s match will stream on ESPN+. Live stats and additional coverage are available at USIScreamingEagles.com.
The winner between USI (5-9-6, 2-2-3 OVC) and Southeast Missouri (5-8-4, 4-2-1 OVC) advances to the championship final against either the fifth-seeded Southern Illinois University Edwardsville or the No. 1 seed and site host University of Tennessee at Martin on Sunday, November 15, at 2 p.m. in Martin, Tennessee.
USI leads the all-time series against SEMO, 2-1-3. The two sides tied 1-1 during the regular season in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, on October 4. USI outshot SEMO 13-10 overall and 5-1 in shots on goal, and junior defender Emma Schut scored the equalizer late in the second half. The two teams also met in last year’s OVC Tournament, where the Screaming Eagles defeated the Redhawks 2-0 in the first round.
The Screaming Eagles are making their second straight appearance in the OVC Tournament semifinals after a 1-0 first-round win over seventh-seeded Western Illinois University last Thursday and a 2-0 quarterfinal win over No. 3 seed Eastern Illinois University on Sunday. It is the second consecutive year that USI ousted Eastern Illinois in the quarterfinals.
In Sunday’s match in Charleston, Illinois, USI scored both its goals in the second half. Senior forward Eva Boer scored the game-winning goal and her first of the season in the 61st minute. Graduate senior Payton Seymour doubled the lead in the 75th minute with her first goal of the season. Seymour also assisted on the goal by Boer. The victory was USI’s third straight shutout win and the Screaming Eagles’ ninth clean sheet of the season.
Overall, USI is appearing in the OVC Tournament for the fifth consecutive season, with a 4-3-1 record (lost on penalty kicks in a tie). All four postseason wins have come over the last two seasons, with a pair of first-round and quarterfinal wins.
Entering Thursday, Schut leads the team with seven points on three goals and an assist, recording the helper on Seymour’s goal against the Panthers last Sunday. USI has nine different goal scorers this season. Freshman midfielder Shea Krakowski tallied her team-best third assist of the season on Boer’s goal against Eastern Illinois. Boer paces the squad with 34 shots, and junior forward Josie Pochocki is second with 31 shots and tops the team with 19 on goal.
Between the posts, sophomore goalkeeper Merrick Schwalbach has a 0.95 GAA with nine clean sheets, including three straight, and 77 saves, all of which rank in the top three of the conference. Schwalbach has four saves through the first two postseason matches.
Southeast Missouri received a double-bye after finishing second in the OVC, improving from an eight-place finish in 2025. The Redhawks are playing for the first time since the regular-season finale on November 1. SEMO ended the regular season with a 2-0 home win against SIUE.
The Redhawks have scored 13 goals this season and have four players with two goals each. Sophomore midfielder Riley Henderson leads the team with nine points on two goals and a team-best five assists. Freshman forward Mac Hatzenbuehler is second with six points off two goals and two assists. Hatzenbuehler paces the squad with 22 shots and 12 on target.
In goal, senior goalkeeper Natalie Allison has been the primary netminder during conference play for the Redhawks. Overall, Allison has a 1.23 GAA with 57 saves and four shutouts this season. Allison made 13 starts in 14 appearances during the regular season.

SOUTHERN INDIANA WOMEN’S BASKETBALL
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball continues its five-game homestand at Liberty Arena Thursday with a matinee matchup against Spalding University (Ky.) at 11 a.m.
Thursday’s contest will stream on ESPN+ and air on The Spin 95.7 FM.
The Screaming Eagles (0-3) are set to play three home games in a six-day stretch and are in search of their first win on Thursday after a challenging three-game stretch to start the season against Murray State University at home, on the road at Kansas State University, and beginning the current homestand against No. 7 University of Louisville this past Sunday.
Louisville came away in its visit to Liberty Arena with an 80-57 win over USI, which held Louisville to its lowest scoring output and gave the Cardinals their first deficit through the first three games of the season on Sunday.
Sunday’s game against Louisville was the third time a Power-4 team visited Liberty Arena. It was the first time USI Women’s Basketball hosted a ranked team, and it was the first time a top-10 program has ever played inside Liberty Arena across all sports.
11 Screaming Eagles found the scoring column against Louisville on Sunday. Sophomore forward Channah Gannon and senior guard Sophia Loden led USI with nine points apiece. Senior guard Tamara Ortiz added eight points for the second straight game.
Gannon paces the Screaming Eagles in scoring through the first three games, averaging 14 points per contest on over 44 percent shooting. Overall, USI is averaging 57 points while shooting just below 40 percent from the floor through three games.
Spalding (0-1) is a Division III program out of Louisville, Kentucky, and is a member of the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SLIAC). Thursday’s contest counts as an exhibition for the Golden Eagles, who are coming off a 59-52 loss Monday against Centre College.
The Golden Eagles were led in Monday’s game against Centre by junior forward Ava Bucci with 19 points and eight rebounds. Sophomore combo guard Brooke McNeal posted a double-double with 14 points and 12 rebounds. Both players played over 30 minutes.
USI and Spalding are meeting for the second time and for the first time since 1999. USI won the first meeting 104-61 at home on December 20, 1999.

SOUTHERN INDIANA MEN’S BASKETBALL
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Men’s Basketball heads up to the Circle City for a battle against Indiana University Indianapolis on Wednesday at James T. Morris Arena.
Game Information
USI (1-2) at IU Indy (2-0)
Date/Time: November 11, 2026 | 5:30 p.m. CT
Location: James T. Morris Arena | Indianapolis, Ind.
TV: ESPN+
Radio: 97.7 FM WREF
Series History: USI leads the all-time series at 13-5
Last Meeting: USI 87, IUPUI 74 on December 19, 2022 (Fort Wayne, Ind.)
The Screaming Eagles close out the in-state road swing against the Jaguars, who have picked up back-to-back home wins, including a one-point victory over OVC foe University of Tennessee at Martin last week.
Last time out, USI dropped a tight overtime duel against cross-town rival University of Evansville in the River City Classic, 78-76. Senior Afan Trnka led the team with a career-high 22 points, while going seven-for-14 from the field, followed by senior Kaden Brown’s 17 points and six rebounds. Junior Josiah Dunham had an impressive stat line against the Purple Aces, posting seven points, a team- and career-high nine rebounds, and a team- and career-high seven assists.
Defense has been the focal point for the Screaming Eagles. The defense has allowed an average of 64 points per game, the second lowest in the OVC. Forcing turnovers and causing chaos has helped in many ways. USI has forced 48 turnovers with 34 steals. The 5.7 turnover margin ranks second in the league.
This will be the first matchup between these two programs since 2022, and the first meeting in Indianapolis since 1994, when both squads were in NCAA DII.
The Jaguars, who are led by second-year head coach Ben Howlett, are 2-0 after a hot start to the regular season. IU Indy’s 13.5 turnover margin ranks first in the NCAA DI after forcing 45 turnovers compared to its 18 turnovers.

VALPO WOMEN’S BASKETBALL
Playing in front of a raucous crowd of fifth-graders from Valparaiso Community Schools on the program’s third annual Education Day, the Valpo women’s basketball team gave the youngsters plenty to cheer about, as the Beacons earned their first win of the season with an 89-47 victory over Culver-Stockton Tuesday.
How It Happened
Valpo was strong right out of the gate Tuesday, opening the game on a 10-0 run in the first three minutes — a stretch capped by back-to-back 3-pointers from Maci Rhoades (Beavercreek, Ohio/Beavercreek [Radford]) and Allia von Schlegell (Downers Grove, Ill./Nazareth Academy).
Later in the opening period, the Beacons put together an 11-0 run in a span of just over three minutes. Maddie Vejsicky (New Concord, Ohio/Newark [Akron]) opened the spurt with a 3-pointer and Jana Nogués (Barcelona, Spain/Escola Sant Gervasi a Mollet del Valles) had four points during the run, a run which boosted Valpo’s lead temporarily to 19 points as it eventually led 24-9 at the end of the first quarter.
Valpo’s defense held Culver-Stockton without a point for a stretch of nearly five minutes in the middle of the second quarter, in the process pushing its advantage to 24 points. The Beacons entered halftime with a 42-19 lead.
The Beacons’ offense scored points on each of their first six possessions of the second half, capped by consecutive 3-pointers from Dani Guedet (Washington, Ill./Washington) to increase the lead into the 30s for the first time. Valpo ended the third quarter ahead 67-34, reaching 67 points on a triple from von Schlegell with 34 seconds to play in the period and sending the children into hysterics.
Valpo held the Wildcats off the scoreboard for over four minutes to start the fourth quarter as the Beacons’ lead reached the 40s en route to closing out the win.
Inside the Game
The win was the first at the helm of the Valpo program for head coach Courtney Boyd.
The Beacons’ 42-point margin of victory marks their largest win since a 95-49 triumph over Chicago State Dec. 28, 2019.
It was a balanced team effort in the win, as all 12 active players played at least five minutes, with 10 of the 12 playing at least 15 minutes and nobody playing more than 24 minutes.
All 12 active players scored at least two points as well, including Nuala Connolly (South Burlington, Vt./Western Reserve Academy), who was making her collegiate debut after missing last season due to injury and connected on a pair of free throws in the fourth quarter.
Five of those players scored at least 10 points, the first time a Valpo team has placed a quintet in double digits since Dec. 20, 2020 at Wisconsin.
While four of the Beacons’ five starters scored in double figures, their leading scorer came off the bench, as Guedet connected on 4-of-7 from 3-point range as part of a 15-point, five-rebound, three-steal day.
Guedet is one of only two Valpo freshmen in the Her Hoop Stats era (starting with the 2009-10 season) to hit at least four 3-pointers in a game off the bench — Shay Frederick did so three times in her rookie year in 2018-19.
von Schlegell scored 12 points on 5-of-8 shooting from the field, while Osadebamwen Igbinedion Omoruyi (Madrid, Spain/IES Ciudad de los Angeles [UTEP]) and Nogués chipped in 11 apiece.
Rounding out the group of five in double figures was Denza Allen (Sunbury, Ohio/Big Walnut), who posted the first double-double of her collegiate career with 10 points on 4-of-7 shooting and 13 rebounds, seven of which came on the offensive end.
Allen pulled down 10 of her boards in the first half alone, becoming the first Valpo player since Grace White at Drake Feb. 4, 2022 to enter halftime with at least 10 rebounds.
Allen’s seven offensive boards are the most by a Valpo player in a single game since Amber Lindfors grabbed seven on the offensive end against Youngstown State March 3, 2017.
Led by Allen’s efforts on the offensive glass, the Beacons tallied 23 offensive rebounds Tuesday, their most in a single game since tallying 27 at UIC Jan. 28, 2017. Valpo converted its 23 offensive boards into 28 second-chance points.
Valpo finished with an offensive rebounding rate above 50% for the first since Jan. 26, 2018 at Evansville, and in the Her Hoop Stats era, Tuesday’s 57.5% rate was its second-best single-game rate, trailing only a 61.1% clip in the aforementioned Youngstown State game.
The Beacons dished out 21 assists against only nine turnovers and racked up 15 steals among the 27 turnovers they forced from Culver-Stockton, outscoring the visitors 26-7 in points off turnovers.
Constanza Aravena (Concepcion, Chile/Academy of Central Florida [Miami Dade College]) handed out a team-high six assists, becoming the first Valpo player with six or more assists as a reserve since Grace White recorded seven assists off the bench at Evansville Feb. 18, 2022.
Valpo also dominated the paint Tuesday, finishing the game with a 44-12 advantage in points in the paint.

IU INDY MEN’S BASKETBALL
INDIANAPOLIS — The University of Indianapolis men’s basketball team had zero problems in their first meeting with Goshen College, defeating the Leafs 103-61 in the Hounds’ season opener on Tuesday.
The Greyhound offense was dominant in the 42-point victory, recording the most points in a season opener for the program since 2008. The Hounds dominated down low, with a 20-point advantage in the paint.
Senior Nate Dudukovich led the Greyhound offense with a career-high 23 points while shooting 62.9% on the night. The Hounds also saw four additional double-digit scorers in the season opener.
HOW IT HAPPENED
The Greyhounds moved in front early with back-to-back drives from Nate Dudukovich and Deuce Jackson. The Leafs were able to hang with the Hounds until a nearly seven-minute 21-3 run allowed the home team to pull away. Steals from Cole White, Kuzma Goncharov, Aaron Humphrey Jr. and Jackson allowed for seven Hounds to have a hand in the hot streak on the offensive end.
The Leafs added late points, but Cole White’s layup with 59 seconds left helped the Greyhounds take a 49-27 lead into halftime.
UIndy finished the matchup with a 24-12 run where they went 4-for-5 from beyond the arc with Dudukovich, Trey Coles, Goncharov and Bakshi to further extend the lead with a minute left in the contest.
INSIDE THE BOX
-Moore grabbed a game and career-high 12 boards in his first game as a Hound.
-Every Indianapolis player who touched the court recorded at least two points for the home team.
-The Hounds bested the Leafs in every statistical category, forcing the visitors to 15 turnovers and a 35.9 FG percentage.

Marion, Ind. – The Marian women’s soccer team fell to the third-seeded Indiana Wesleyan Wildcats on Tuesday evening in the Crossroads League Championships. Marian moves to 13-3-3 overall on the season after the loss.
Marian opened up the championship match with a shot just wide from Olivia Parmer, but Indiana Wesleyan was quick to counter with a trio of shots and came up short against the Knights’ defense and Lily Ames’ skills in goal. Marian was able to regain control, benefiting from a foul to allow Laney Harshany to take a shot, but came up short to the goalie’s fast reflexes, keeping the game scoreless.

At the 32nd minute of play, both sides traded off shots, with Sammie King recording an attempt from Marian. Before Allie Tredway and Jordan Love were able to follow up, Tredway recorded a pair of shots, both coming up just shy of a goal. Indiana Wesleyan fired off the final shot of the half that was blocked by the Knights going into halftime scoreless.
The Wildcats were the first to open the second half with a pair of shots off target before Parmer took another attempt but came up short to the Wildcats’ defense. Indiana Wesleyan continued to strike early in the second half, firing off a pair of shots, but both were blocked by Marian’s defense. The Knights then regained control, firing off six straight shots before the Wildcats broke up Marian’s run with a header that was just wide of the goal. Less than four minutes later Indiana Wesleyan got around Marian’s defense and recorded the first goal of the game to take the lead over Marian. The Knights took two final strikes from Parmer and Sienna Mullen but ended just short falling 1-0 in the Crossroads League Championship.
Olivia Parmer led the team with six shots and one on target in the match-up. Allie Tredway also recorded multiple shots with four in the match. In goal Lily Ames played all 90 minutes recording one save.
Marian will learn their NAIA Postseason fate on Friday, November 13th at 6 PM during the NAIA National Championships selection show.
