+++TOP NATIONAL HEADLINES/NEWS RELEASES+++
MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL PLAYOFFS
YOSHINOBU YAMAMOTO, DODGERS SHUT DOWN BREWERS, GRAB 2-0 NLCS EDGE
MILWAUKEE — Yoshinobu Yamamoto picked up where Blake Snell left off, and the result is the Los Angeles Dodgers heading home with a 2-0 lead over the Milwaukee Brewers in the National League Championship Series.
Yamamoto allowed a homer on the first pitch but did not yield another run over a complete-game three-hitter, pacing the defending champion Dodgers to a 5-1 victory over the Brewers in Game 2 on Tuesday night.
The right-hander fired the Dodgers’ first postseason complete game since 2004. The most recent playoff complete game by any pitcher was turned in by Justin Verlander for the Houston Astros in the 2017 American League Championship Series.
“I think if you look at the construction of our roster currently, the strength is starting pitching,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “And when you can have your most talented pitchers get the most outs, then you’re in a good spot.”
Yamamoto (2-1) struck out seven and walked one in a dominant 111-pitch outing. He never previously threw a complete game in 48 regular-season starts and six playoff starts over his two seasons with the Dodgers.
Teoscar Hernandez and Max Muncy each hit a solo homer off Brewers ace Freddy Peralta.
Game 3 of the best-of-seven series is scheduled for Thursday in Los Angeles. Since the League Championship Series went to a best-of-seven format, 17 teams have won the first two games, and 14 of those went on to reach the World Series.
In Game 1, Snell allowed just one hit over eight scoreless innings and the Dodgers held on for a 2-1 victory when the Brewers stranded the bases loaded in the ninth.
“They were both great,” Brewers manager Pat Murphy said of Snell and Yamamoto. “Both those pitchers were as dominant as two pitchers have been. We chased way more than we’ve chased all year. We’ve been the best in baseball at not chasing. These pitchers brought out the worst in us.”
Milwaukee, which earned the top overall playoff seed after posting a franchise-record 97 victories, has scored just one run in each of the first two games, managing just five hits total.
Jackson Chourio staked the Brewers to a 1-0 lead with a leadoff homer, sending a first-pitch fastball from Yamamoto 389 feet to right-center.
“That was the first hitter,” Yamamoto said. “And I feel regrettable, that home run, but I reset my mind and then I just focused on executing my own pitches.”
The Dodgers answered with two runs in the second off Peralta. Teoscar Hernandez tied it with a one-out solo homer to left, his first of the series and fourth of the postseason. Enrique Hernandez singled up the middle with two outs, and Andy Pages followed with an RBI double into the right field corner.
Max Muncy extended the lead to 3-1 in the sixth with a two-out solo homer, chasing Peralta.
The Dodgers added a run in the seventh when Enrique Hernandez hit a leadoff double, advanced on a sacrifice bunt and scored on Shohei Ohtani’s single to right.
Los Angeles made it 5-1 on two singles and two walks in the eighth, with Tommy Edman getting the RBI.
The Brewers, meanwhile, never had an at-bat with a runner in scoring position.
“The way this offense runs is just getting on base,” Chourio said. “That’s always the plan, to go out there and get on base. Unfortunately, they did a good job of limiting our ability to do that.”
Peralta (1-2) allowed three runs on five hits in 5 2/3 innings with four strikeouts, one walk and a hit batter in a 97-pitch outing.
Peralta, who led the National League with 17 victories, entered 10-1 with a 1.85 ERA in 18 home starts this season, including a win over the Chicago Cubs in Game 1 of the NL Division Series.
“The one thing is you guys might have us counted out,” Murphy said. “And I understand that, 90% of the teams that have been in this situation don’t win the series. But this team has been counted out a lot this year. And I think there’s some fight left in them.”

NFL NEWS
BRIAN CALLAHAN BECOMES FIRST NFL HEAD COACH FIRED THIS SEASON AND OTHERS ARE ON THE HOT SEAT
Brian Callahan is the first NFL head coach to be fired this season and chances are he’ll have some company in the unemployment line in the not-too-distant future.
Last year, three head coaches were fired midseason.
With the Dolphins off to a 1-5 start, Miami’s Mike McDaniel has been a central figure in coaching hot seat discussion this fall. The Dolphins find themselves answering questions again about their team culture following Tua Tagovailoa’s comments Sunday calling out unnamed teammates for being late to player-led meetings.
Aaron Glenn, the hottest candidate in the 2024-25 coaching carousel cycle, is making rookie mistakes like letting the clock run out at halftime rather than try a Hail Mary and having Justin Fields drop back on fourth down from the Denver 44 rather than attempting a long go-ahead field goal in the closing minutes of the Jets’ 13-11 loss to the Broncos in London on Sunday.
The Jets put up a franchise-worst minus-10 net yards passing as Fields completed just nine passes and got sacked nine times. The loss made Glenn the first Jets coach to begin his tenure with six losses.
The Baltimore Ravens, a popular pick to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl, aren’t much better off at 1-5 with Lamar Jackson sidelined. Coach John Harbaugh, who’s won 187 NFL games, was catching flack from fans during the Ravens’ fourth consecutive loss Sunday, 17-3 to the Los Angeles Rams.
The three head coaches who didn’t make it through the 2024 season were Robert Saleh (Jets, Week 5), Dennis Allen (Saints, Week 9) and Matt Eberflus (Bears, Week 14).
Joining them in the unemployed ranks after the season in January were Jerod Mayo (Patriots), Antonio Pierce (Raiders), Doug Pederson (Jaguars) and Mike McCarthy (Cowboys).
How have the replacements fared?
Here’s the twist: the three head coaches who were fired midseason last year had a combined record of 8-18. Their interim replacements finished a combined 7-18 in 2024 and their full-time replacements so far this season are a cumulative 4-13.
In addition to Glenn (0-6), Kellen Moore is 1-5 in New Orleans. The only early success is from Ben Johnson (3-2) in Chicago, where the Bears have scored 20-plus points in their first five weeks for the first time since 1995.
The four teams that waited until after the season to fire their head coach have so far fared better that those teams that pulled a quick hook.
Mayo, Pierce, Pederson and McCarthy were a combined 19-49 last season. Their replacements are 12-11-1 with Mike Vrabel 4-2 in New England, Brian Schottenheimer 2-3-1 in Dallas, Pete Carroll 2-4 in Las Vegas and Liam Coen 4-2 in Jacksonville.
Vrabel has already matched Mayo’s four wins in 2024 and Coen has already equaled Pederson’s four victories from a year ago, too.
A 3-14 record in his first year after replacing Vrabel allowed Callahan to get the No. 1 overall draft pick in Cam Ward. But that certainly hasn’t been the recipe for job security.
Callahan’s firing with the Titans at 1-5 marks the fourth time in five years that a team that picked a quarterback with the No. 1 selection fired the coach during the season. The others were Eberflus in 2024, Frank Reich in Carolina in 2023 and Urban Meyer in Jacksonville in 2021.
Changes in the college ranks
Callahan joined seven FBS head coaches who have already been dismissed during the 2025 college football season.
Bad starts cost Oklahoma State’s Mike Gundy, Arkansas’ Sam Pittman, UCLA’s DeShaun Foster, Virginia Tech’s Brent Pry, Oregon State’s Trent Bray and UAB’s Trent Dilfer their jobs.
Penn State’s James Franklin, whose Nittany Lions were ranked No. 3 in the nation less than three weeks go, was fired over the weekend amidst a three-game skid, the latest FBS head coach to pay the price for a rocky start to the season.
Well, paying the price — and getting paid.
Franklin’s buyout is nearly $50 million, and if you add the buyouts the other six fired coaches are due, it’s nearly $100 million that universities owe their fired head coaches so far.
Callahan was fired just two dozen games into his five-year contract that paid him about $3 million a season, so the Titans are on the hook for a parachute of more than $10 million.
It’s an accepted part of the job. Coaches know the only way to avoid the pink slip is with a gold watch and most are relieved of their duties long before it’s time to retire.
Even Bill Belichick, winner of six Super Bowls with the Patriots, was fired last year by team owner Robert Kraft after nearly a quarter-century of excellence in New England. Belichick shocked many a football fan when he decided after a year’s sabbatical to take the head coaching job at North Carolina.
Yet, he spent his weekly news conference Monday talking not about the Tar Heels’ upcoming opponent in Cal but about his own job and defending the state of the program. He suggested reports of him looking for a buyout or trying to leave the program were “ categorically false.”
“There’s no truth to any of that,” Belichick said. “I’m glad I’m here.”
REPORT: JETS WAIVE DT LEONARD TAYLOR III
The New York Jets are waiving second-year defensive tackle Leonard Taylor III, according to an ESPN report.
Taylor, 26, signed with the Jets as an undrafted free agent out of Miami ahead of the 2024 season. As a rookie, he appeared in 14 games, recording 24 tackles, four tackles for loss, 1 1/2 sacks, four quarterback hits and a pass breakup.
This season, he recorded three tackles and a pass breakup in the Jets’ first two games, but hasn’t been active for any of New York’s last four contests. With less than four years in the league, Taylor will be placed onto the waiver wire and can be claimed by other teams.
The Jets (0-6) are the last winless team in the NFL this season. Under first-year head coach Aaron Glenn, they rank 28th in the league in scoring defense (28.3 points per game allowed).
New York hosts the Carolina Panthers (3-3) on Sunday in pursuit of that elusive first win.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL NEWS
REPORT: PENN STATE CAN AVOID HEFTY JAMES FRANKLIN BUYOUT
Penn State could end up paying recently fired coach James Franklin much less than his full buyout, which is in the neighborhood of $50 million, according to a report from Front Office Sports.
The terms of Franklin’s 2021 contract extension, obtained by FOS, include a “duty to mitigate” clause which dictates that whatever salary he receives from a future position will offset what Penn State owes him.
The clause reads: “Should Coach obtain such applicable employment prior to the date this Contract would otherwise have expired, the University’s obligation to make payments to Coach … will be offset by the total compensation earned by Coach from such applicable new position through the end of the otherwise unexpired term of this agreement.”
Essentially, should Franklin take another job in the field, whatever salary the new job pays him, be it coaching or broadcasting, would be taken out of Penn State’s annual buyout number of $8 million each of the next six years through the end of the 2031 season.
The duty to mitigate clause requires him to attempt to find a new job, stating, “Once terminated, Coach is obligated to diligently search for and make a good faith effort to obtain another position appropriate for his skill set and to provide the university upon request with evidence that he is seeking such employment.”
That clause also requires the 53-year-old Franklin “to make good faith efforts to obtain the maximum reasonable salary” at his new job.
Things ended abruptly for Franklin at Penn State, with losses to Big Ten bottom-dwellers UCLA and Northwestern after the Nittany Lions started the season as the No. 2 team in the AP poll. However, he still had quite a bit of success during his 12-year tenure, leading Penn State to six double-digit-win seasons, the 2016 Big Ten title and an appearance in the College Football Playoff semifinals last season.
With prominent jobs such as Arkansas, UCLA, Virginia Tech and Oklahoma State already open, and a few even bigger jobs such as Florida, Auburn and others potentially coming open later this year, Franklin could have interest from some high-level teams if he desires to remain in coaching.
NO. 4 OLE MISS EYES FIRST WIN AT NO. 9 GEORGIA IN 29 YEARS
Searching for their first win in Athens since 1996, the fifth-ranked Ole Miss Rebels face their toughest road test to date on Saturday against the No. 9 Georgia Bulldogs in Southeastern Conference play.
Last time out, Ole Miss (6-0, 3-0 SEC) escaped with a 24-21 victory over Washington State despite being heavily favored. Not much has gone wrong through the first half of an unbeaten season for the Rebels, but coach Lane Kiffin knows his team will have to play better Saturday afternoon in front of 93,033 fans in red and black.
“We’re going to have to have a great week of preparation to go on the road in a very tough environment with elite players and in a phenomenal coaching staff,” Kiffin said. ” … I think our players and staff are really excited about that, any time you get a chance to play the premier program in college football over the last five years.”
Since quarterback Austin Simmons suffered an ankle injury in Week 2 against Kentucky, first-year Rebel Trinidad Chambliss has thrown for 1,286 yards and seven touchdowns, while adding 281 yards and three scores on the ground.
Saturday will mark the first pass Chambliss has thrown on the road after rushing three times for 13 yards in limited action at Kentucky. Kiffin’s confidence in the Division II transfer is growing every week, but Sanford Stadium will create a new challenge for the offense.
“We (played at) Kentucky, but this is another level, especially with ‘(College) GameDay’ being there and how the crowd will be,” Kiffin said. “You have to block out the noise and stay focused on what we have to do, which is play really well, take care of the ball better than we did a week ago and let players make plays by doing your job and not trying to do too much when you get in those environments.”
Georgia (5-1, 3-1) gutted out a 20-10 win at Auburn last Saturday, forcing a goal-line fumble to spark a rally after trailing by 10 points late in the first half.
Like Ole Miss, the Bulldogs will need a jolt to earn a win with massive postseason implications.
“We need the best atmosphere we’ve ever had in Sanford Stadium,” Georgia coach Kirby Smart said. “I’ve got a lot of respect for Lane. He does an incredible job. Probably one of the best things he does is in-game coaching, having coached with him and watched him for years. ”
Smart and Kiffin overlapped from 2014-15 as the defensive and offensive coordinators, respectively, under Nick Saban at Alabama.
Playing for the third straight year for the first time since playing annually from 1966-2002, Georgia blew past the Rebels 52-17 in 2023, before Ole Miss posted a 28-10 win over the Bulldogs last November. Smart isn’t playing into past meetings, though.
“Not a big revenge guy,” Smart said. “They could’ve said that last year about us because they came here and played the year before. I’m big into what gets us to play our best, and that usually comes from intrinsic stuff for me, not looking in the past. Those teams were different teams. This team’s a different team.”
First-year starting quarterback Gunner Stockton has thrown for 1,264 yards and six touchdowns, while rushing for 220 yards and six scores. Stockton’s six rushing touchdowns are tied for fourth most in the SEC.

NBA NEWS
IT’S CALLED AUTOMATED OFFICIATING. THE NBA IS UTILIZING IT TO GET EVEN MORE CALLS RIGHT
The play, in real time to the naked eye, might have looked very close to a violation. LeBron James leaped, got his right hand on the ball with a few tenths of the game’s final second remaining and tapped it through the basket to give the Los Angeles Lakers a buzzer-beating win last season.
Referees on the floor called it correctly. Video replay backed up their call, and the Lakers got a victory over the Indiana Pacers.
Turns out, it wasn’t close at all.
The NBA has a relatively new tool called “automated officiating,” and the robotic eyes that are now tracking just about everything on basketball courts showed that James was nowhere near committing offensive basket interference on that play. It wasn’t needed to decide matters in that case — again, the humans got it right — but the NBA is tapping into technology more and more to ensure that plays like those get adjudicated correctly.
“Turns out, computers are really good at this,” said Evan Wasch, an NBA executive vice president overseeing basketball strategy and analytics. “So, if we can invest in this technology to get more calls right on the objective ones, we do two things.
“One, the accuracy on those calls, by definition, goes up. But we also free up the human referees to not have to focus on those calls and in turn allow them to focus more closely on the really difficult judgment plays that they’re so adept at and actually increase accuracy there, too. We think there’s what we call double bottom-line benefit to doing this from an accuracy perspective.”
Basketball, of course, is not alone in veering toward higher-tech officiating.
Robot umpires are getting called up to Major League Baseball next season; humans will still make the calls, but teams can challenge ball or strike calls and an automated system will determine if those challenges were successful. Many major tennis tournaments, even Wimbledon, have replaced line judges with electronic line-calling. Soccer has technology to tell referees if a ball fully crossed a goal line or if someone was offsides, calls that in real time might just be guesswork.
It’s important to note that NBA referees are not being replaced. Technology is just helping; instead of six human eyes on a court, it’s now six human eyes and a whole lot of camera lenses that are there to collect as much data as the league can think of.
“Let’s get it right,” Milwaukee coach Doc Rivers said. “And let’s get right quicker.”
Those are the goals, the NBA insists. Using technology helps with game flow thanks to shorter review times, helps with the accuracy and also provides transparency in the ability to show fans and players computer-generated images to explain how calls were made.
Cameras in arenas are helping to precisely make calls such as the ones along sidelines and baselines — who was a ball off, was it out of bounds, that sort of thing — as well as determining if blocked shots were good or was goaltending committed on those plays.
“What we’re doing is tracking a bunch of objects in space with incredible precision,” Wasch said. “We are tracking a basketball, fingers, feet, heads, hands, all the parts of the body. We’re tracking them in space with cameras and sensors. And there’s an element of machine learning and artificial intelligence to build those algorithms on top of that to then know what in fact happened from a basketball perspective based on the movement of all those things.”
The technology isn’t limited to calls or non-calls.
Some referees have been wearing earpieces during this preseason as the league tinkers with ways for better communication methods. There’s been talk at the league of sending alerts to smartwatches about decisions on calls. And at summer league this year, there was even a sensor placed inside the ball to help collect data. The sensor weighs about the same as a raisin does. Hundreds of players used the ball, which typically weighs somewhere around 600 grams; nobody noticed that it was about a gram heavier than usual.
In the end, it’s all about making the product better.
“There’s actually been a ton of openness from the referees and the referee union on implementing this technology,” Wasch said. “It lets them focus on the things that they train for this job to do.”

INDIANA FOOTBALL
INDIANA’S CURT CIGNETTI IS UNANIMOUS PICK FOR TOP COACH AS AP UNVEILS BIG TEN MIDSEASON AWARDS
Indiana was the surprise of the 2024 college football season, and the question entering 2025 was whether the Hoosiers would backslide in Curt Cignetti’s second season.
So far, the answer is a resounding no.
The Hoosiers came off their College Football Playoff appearance by startting 6-0 and, at No. 3 following their 30-20 road win over then-No. 3 Oregon, have their highest AP Top 25 ranking in history. A top-four playoff seed, and an accompanying first-round bye, are real possibilities.
For all that, 10 AP writers who cover the Big Ten made Cignetti the unanimous choice for top coach in the conference at the midway point of the season.
Cignetti is 17-2 since arriving from James Madison, his only losses coming last year against Ohio State and Notre Dame teams that ended up in the CFP championship game.
The Hoosiers returned four starters on offense and four on defense, brought in 23 transfers including quarterback Fernando Mendoza and picked up where they left off.
Most surprising team
Northwestern is 4-2 overall, 2-1 in the Big Ten and a winner of three straight, including the 22-21 shocker at Penn State last week. The Wildcats already have matched their 2024 overall and conference win totals and are tracking toward a second bowl appearance in three years under David Braun.
Picked 17th in the 18-team conference in the preseason, they’re in an eight-way tie for fourth and probably will be underdogs in four of their last six games.
Think you know who belongs in the Top 25? Now it’s your turn to vote with the AP Top 25 fan poll.
Most surprising player
Nebraska’s Emmett Johnson, a backup until late last season, is the second-leading rusher in the conference, and seventh in the nation, with 108.3 yards per game and seven touchdowns. He also has caught 24 passes, second on the team, for 130 yards and a TD.
Top offensive player and top
first-year transfer
Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza swept the two awards for his prolific production since transferring from California. His 17 touchdown passes lead the conference and are fourth nationally, and he’s averaging an impressive 9.3 yards per attempt. He has the third-highest passer rating in the Big Ten and fourth-highest in the country.
Top defensive player
Ohio State defensive end Caden Curry has been a dependable performer since 2022 but has dramatically ramped up his production this season. He’s the Buckeyes’ third-leading tackler with 31 stops, including 9.5 for loss and six sacks. Pro Football Focus has him listed as the Big Ten’s highest-graded defensive end.
Top first-year freshman
Maryland quarterback Malik Washington gets the nod over Michigan QB Bryce Underwood, who was the 247Sports No. 1 national recruit. Washington, the No. 54 recruit, has outperformed Underwood despite being hamstrung by the least productive ground game in the Big Ten. Washington has attempted a Big Ten-high 220 passes, averaged 251 yards per game and thrown for 10 touchdowns with two interceptions.
Most disappointing team
Penn State was the unanimous choice following its colossal collapse. The Nittany Lions brought back their quarterback and a pair of 1,000-yard rushers, and they were ranked No. 2 in the preseason.
Wins over soft opposition were followed by consecutive losses to Oregon (home), UCLA (away) and Northwestern (home). The Lions were favored by 21-plus points in the last two. James Franklin, who led the Lions to a College Football Playoff semifinal last year, was fired after the Northwestern game.
Hottest seat
Wisconsin fans have been calling for Luke Fickell’s job for weeks as they’ve watched the Badgers get outscored 126-34 over four straight losses. Fickell was 57-18 with a CFP appearance in six seasons at Cincinnati, and he won 13 of his first 21 games at Wisconsin. Since then, the Badgers have lost nine in a row against power-conference opponents. Because of injuries and ineffective play, there have been three starting quarterbacks.
Biggest injury
Penn State quarterback Drew Allar sustained a college career-ending leg injury last week against Northwestern. Allar led the Nittany Lions to a CFP semifinal last year and returned with the hope of making a run at a national championship. Those hopes are gone.
AS NO. 3 INDIANA CONTINUES TO REACH NEW MILESTONES, CIGNETTI TAKING A BUSINESS-AS-USUAL APPROACH
Indiana Hoosiers coach Curt Cignetti stuck to the game plan Monday.
He quickly turned the page on the program’s first road victory over a top-five team and didn’t even bother to mention their new No. 3 ranking — the highest in school history — or the increasing commotion about whether quarterback Fernando Mendoza is a legitimate Heisman Trophy contender.
Instead, the brash, 64-year-old Cignetti took the business approach.
“ I think the key now is our response, but that’s always the response, right?” Cignetti said. “This team has met every challenge to this point because they’re humble, humble and hungry. They’ve prepared properly and put it on the field, which requires commitment, discipline, sacrifice and eliminating the noise and the clutter.”
It may be harder to ignore the fanfare this week when Indiana (6-0, 3-0 Big Ten) hosts struggling Michigan State (3-3, 0-3).
To Cignetti, of course, it’s just another game albeit a chance at another milestone — retaining the Old Brass Spittoon. The Hoosiers haven’t beaten the Spartans in consecutive games since a three-year span from 1967-69.
To Hoosiers fans, though, it’s an entirely different scenario. For a second straight season, they’re undefeated at the midway point and appear headed toward a second straight playoff berth. The game was already sold out before the shocking 30-20 victory over then No. 3 Oregon.
And, amazingly with basketball season beckoning in Bloomington, around campus all anyone wants to talk about is football.
Now, though, the guy who challenged reporters by boasting “I win, Google me” and telling fans at a basketball game “Purdue sucks! So does Ohio State and Michigan!” suddenly wants to rein things in.
After Saturday’s game, Cignetti joked on the telecast he didn’t recognize the guy who uttered those words before acknowledging he needed to say those things to change the program.
Now, with a two-year record of 17-2, no home losses and perhaps the biggest win in program history, Cignetti is content relying on the Hoosiers resume.
“We’ve got a lot of strong character on this football team, and they’re a team,” he said. “And, you know, the team goals supersede the individual goals. Let’s face it, when you enter a season, especially nowadays, because you’ve got a lot of new faces, there’s really a lot you don’t know about your team, how they’re going to respond.”
So far, Cignetti’s players have had all the right answers.
When the critics complained about their “soft” nonconference schedule — Old Dominion, Kennesaw State and Indiana State — Indiana responded with three wins by a combined score of 156-23.
The Hoosiers quieted those same critics the next week by blowing out then No. 9 Illinois 63-10, the most lopsided victory over a top-10 team in school history.
And when those same critics continued howling after the 20-15 win at unranked Iowa, Cignetti used the bye week to prime the Hoosiers for a game that would silence any doubter. Indiana snapped the FBS’ longest active regular-season winning streak at 23 and the longest active home winning streak at 18.
Now comes the biggest test for the Hoosiers, keeping the momentum rolling at home in a game that they’re favored by 26 1/2 points, according to BetMgm.com.
“It depends on what we do with it from here,” Cignetti said Saturday. “It puts us in position — if we can continue to be successful which means we have to show up to work on Monday as a team, humble, hungry and ready to go against Michigan State.”
But around Indiana and around the country, the Hoosiers have become the darlings of college football. Again.
So Cignetti intends to remind his players how they got here in the first place — by sticking to the business at hand.
“This game gives you nothing,” he said. “You’ve got to earn everything, and it’s all about our mindset and our preparation.”

AULT, NO. 14 HOOSIERS BATTLE BACK IN THE BLUEGRASS
LEXINGTON, Ky. — A second-half brace from senior forward Palmer Ault guided No. 14-ranked Indiana to its third Top 25 victory and sixth comeback win of the season, a 2-1 result at No. 25-ranked Kentucky.
A member of the MAC Hermann Trophy Midseason Watch List, Ault improved his season tally to a career-high 11 goals, scoring in the 64th and 79th minutes after the Wildcats had taken a 36th-minute lead.
KEY MOMENTS
• 36′ – GOAL! Against the run of play, a header from sophomore forward Joaquín Brizuela snuck in at the front post, and Kentucky took the early lead. Kentucky 1, Indiana 0
• 45′ – Indiana nearly equalized right before the half as a first-time attempt off the foot of senior midfielder Cristiano Bruletti forced a diving save.
• 64′ – GOAL! Redshirt freshman defender Nolan Kinsella got around his defender on the right side of the box and was pulled down from behind, earning a penalty. Ault buried it from the spot to equalize. Indiana 1, Kentucky 1
• 66′ – Sophomore midfielder Charlie Heuer saw a first-touch chance flying low towards goal, but a late deflection just took it off course.
• 79′ – GOAL! A Heuer shot took a fortunate deflection back towards Ault at the top of the box, and the senior finished with the inside of his right foot into the bottom corner. Indiana 2, Kentucky 1
• 84′ – Freshman goalkeeper Judewellin Michel made two saves within a minute to push away a Wildcat equalizer.
NOTABLES
• Indiana improved to 3-0-1 against ranked opponent and 6-0-1 against non-conference foes. Head coach Todd Yeagley improved his record against Top 25 opponents to 61-37-20.
• IU improved its record in the all-time series with Kentucky to 28-3-5 and 12-1-3 in Lexington. The result comes as Indiana’s second consecutive comeback victory over the Wildcats after overcoming a 2-0 deficit in a 3-2 win last season.
• Palmer Ault’s 11 goals and 27 points mark career-highs in both categories. He’s the first Hoosier to reach 11 goals since Victor Bezerra’s 12 during the 2021-22 season.
• Ault has scored five game-winning goals this season.
• Heuer has assisted Ault match-winners in consecutive matches.
• Michel made his first start and appearance since the season opener, a 2-2 draw with No. 9-ranked Clemson.

PURDUE MEN’S BASKETBALL
PAINTER NAMED 2026 WOODEN AWARD LEGENDS OF COACHING RECIPIENT
LOS ANGELES – Matt Painter of Purdue University will receive the John R. Wooden Award “Legends of Coaching Award” presented by Principal in 2026, Coach Wooden’s grandson-in-law Craig Impelman announced today at the Los Angeles Athletic Club’s annual Wooden Award Tip-Off Luncheon. The event featured the head coaches of Division I men’s and women’s basketball programs in Southern California.
The “Legends of Coaching” honor recognizes coaches who exemplify Coach Wooden’s high standard of coaching success and personal integrity. The award, established by the Wooden Award Board in 1999, selects honorees based on character, success on the court, graduation rates of student-athletes in their basketball programs, coaching philosophy, and alignment with the goals of the John R. Wooden Award. Painter will receive the honor alongside the 2026 Wooden Award winners and All-Americans on April 10, 2026, as part of the 50th Anniversary Wooden Award Weekend, at the Los Angeles Athletic Club.
Wooden Award Chairman Sam Lagana said, “The 2026 John R. Wooden Award marks the Golden Anniversary of the nation’s most prestigious college basketball honor. This milestone year is highlighted by the recognition of Matt Painter, Head Coach of Purdue University, as the recipient of the Legends of Coaching Award.”
This honor carries a special resonance in 2026: John Wooden was a proud alumnus of Purdue University, and the Boilermakers have produced two Wooden Award winners who, together, earned three trophies. Coach Painter’s selection for the award’s 50th anniversary brings the story full circle—honoring not only his exemplary leadership, but also the deep and historic bond between Purdue and Coach Wooden’s legacy. Painter attended the Wooden Award ceremony both times that center Zach Edey was honored.
Matt Painter has established himself as one of the premier coaches in college basketball. Since taking over the Purdue program in 2005, he has guided the Boilermakers to consistent national prominence. Under his leadership, Purdue has won five Big Ten Conference regular-season championships and two Big Ten tournament titles, as well as reached the Sweet 16 six times in the last eight seasons. His teams have made many deep runs in the NCAA Tournament, culminating in a Final Four appearance and a National Championship Game berth in 2024. Painter has been recognized as the Big Ten Coach of the Year five times and is the second-most winning coach in Purdue history, behind the 2007 Wooden Award Legends of Coaching recipient Gene Keady, for whom Painter played at Purdue from 1990–1993.
Painter has also been a developer of elite talent. He has coached numerous Wooden Award All-Americans, Big Ten Players of the Year, and consensus All-Americans, helping his players excel both on and off the court. In 2024, Purdue center Zach Edey became only the second player in history to win back-to-back John R. Wooden Awards, cementing Painter’s program as one of the most impactful in the Wooden Award era. Last year, Braden Smith was named a Wooden Award All-American. Painter has served as a coach representative on the NCAA D1 Basketball Oversight Committee and integrates community service as an integral part of his players’ experience at Purdue, including supporting local schools and the Special Olympics.
Beyond wins and accolades, Painter embodies the principles for which John Wooden stood: character, integrity, care for the student-athlete, and competitive greatness. His contributions to the game, his athletes, and the Purdue community make him a fitting and historic honoree for the 50th anniversary of the Wooden Award.

The Boilers are looking to battle back with these two home matches after falling in both road games last week. Purdue currently sits at 5-8-3 overall and 2-5-1 in conference, putting them 15th in the conference standings, but still is alive in its hopes of making the conference tournament.
SCOUTING THE OPPONENTS
Penn State is 7-5-3 on the season and 3-3-2 in conference, earning them the eighth spot in the conference standings. The Nittany Lions have earned victories over conference foes Maryland, Northwestern, and Rutgers this season, and drew 2-2 with Oregon in its latest result. Penn State was ranked as high as eighth this season in the United Soccer Coaches poll but has dropped out of the polls in the last two weeks.
Northwestern is sitting 6-3-6 in its overall record and 2-2-4 in conference, holding the 10th position in the conference standings, the cutoff point for the Big Ten tournament. The Wildcats picked up a ranked win this season over No. 4 TCU, while drawing with No. 11 Iowa, No. 23 Ohio State, and the leader of the Big Ten, Washington. Northwestern is led by the talents of Kennedy Roesch who has six goals on the season and three assists.

PURDUE MEN’S GOLF
BOILERMAKERS CRUISE TO TEAM TITLE AT HOME EVENT
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The Purdue men’s golf team pieced together three consistent rounds to cruise to its first tournament title of the season at the Purdue Fall Invitational.
Purdue totaled a 25-under par 839 (282-277-281) to outdistance second-place Butler by 19 shots. The 19-stroke margin is the second-largest margin in a Purdue tournament victory in school history.
It marks the fourth tournament title in just the second year for head coach Andrew Sapp and pushes the Boilermakers’ record well above .500 in head-to-head standings with one tournament remaining this fall.
Purdue’s team score of 839 is the 14th-best, 54-hole score in Purdue history, while the 839 marks the second-lowest collegiate tournament score ever recorded at the Kampen-Cosler Course, behind an 829 by Illinois in the 2015 Boilermaker Invitational (spring).
Purdue won the team title with a loaded effort at the top of the leaderboard, as three players finished in the top three and two more finished in the top 15. It marks the first time since the 2010-11 season that five Boilermakers finished in the top 20 of a tournament.
Leading the charge was freshman Will Harvey, who posted rounds of 70-71-70=211 (-5) for a runner-up finish. Harvey used birdies on 14 and 16 to move into a share of the lead, but a bogey on the difficult 18th dropped him one shot off the pace. He recorded his first top-5 finish as a Boilermaker.
Meanwhile, Sam Easterbrook played outstanding golf over the last 36 holes for a T-3 showing at 4-under par 212 (75-70-67). Like Harvey, Easterbrook was tied for the medalist lead heading into No. 18, but a double-bogey dropped him to 4-under par. Nonetheless, it marked Easterbrook’s 11th career top-10 finish, now tied for the 10th most in a career in Purdue history.
Kentaro Nanayama also had his finest performance as a Boilermaker, matching Easterbrook in a third-place tie at 4-under par 212 (71-67-74). Nanayama suffered a double-bogey on the par-5 6th hole that dropped him two off the pace at the end of the round.
Andre Zhu (73-73-70) and Supapon Amornchaichan (68-68-80) tied for 13th at even-par 216.
Playing as individuals, Jenson Forrester tied for eighth at 2-under par 214 (70-71-73), Yilin Sun was tied for 37th at 7-over par 223 (80-70-73) and Leo Aaraas was tied for 54th at 11-over par 227 (72-77-78).
Purdue will wrap up the fall season on Oct. 25 and 26 at the Steelwood Collegiate in Loxley, Alabama.

HIDALGO NAMED ACC PRESEASON PLAYER OF THE YEAR
CHARLOTTE – The ACC announced its 2025-26 preseason awards on Tuesday and Hannah Hidalgo earned the top honor, being named the ACC Preseason Player of the Year as voted on by the league’s coaches and media.
Freshman Leah Macy was also highlighted in the announcement, as she was named to the ACC Newcomer Watch List.
Preseason ACC Player of the Year — Hannah Hidalgo
A two-time AP First Team All-American, Wooden Finalist and last season’s ACC Player of the Year, Hidalgo enters her junior season in South Bend as the favorite to capture the league’s top honor.

BURTON NAMED PRESEASON FIRST TEAM ALL-ACC
CHARLOTTE. – Notre Dame junior guard Markus Burton received some love from the league coaches and affiliated media on Tuesday when he was named a Preseason First Team All-ACC selection. The last Irish player to garner Preseason First Team honors was senior forward John Mooney in 2019.
Burton averaged a league-best 23.5 points per game in ACC play last season, as his 423 total points also broke a Notre Dame ACC play record. Overall on the year, the Mishawaka native averaged 21.3 ppg, which ranked fifth in the country. It now ranks third amongst active returners, trailing just SMU’s Jaron Pierre Jr. (21.6) and Kansas State’s PJ Haggerty (21.7).
Last year, Burton was the master of the midrange. He shot 46.9 percent from two, as his true shooting percentage soared to 54.8 percent. He drew 5.3 fouls per game and converted 84.8 percent from the free-throw line.
If that wasn’t enough, Burton improved from beyond the arc, going from a 30.0 percent shooter freshman year to 37.5 percent as a sophomore. In ACC play, he knocked down 40.2 percent from deep.
Burton was not just a shot-maker but a ball distributor as well. At the conclusion of last season, Burton joined ND great David Rivers as the only two players in program history to average both 20+ points and 3+ assists.
Lastly, who could forget Burton’s monster 43-point game vs. Cal in the 4OT win. The 43 points were the most by an ND player since Adrian Dantley recorded 49 in February of 1975.
Below, you’ll find the full Preseason All-ACC teams along with the Preseason Poll.

BULLDOG LEGEND GORDON HAYWARD NAMED EXECUTIVE BASKETBALL ADVISOR FOR BUTLER MEN’S BASKETBALL
Butler Athletics Hall of Famer and 14-year NBA standout Gordon Hayward will provide additional leadership within the Bulldog men’s basketball program in the role of Executive Basketball Advisor.
Hayward will volunteer his time in the newly-created position, working alongside head coach Thad Matta, General Manager/Director of Player Personnel Tony Bollier, and Vice President/Director of Athletics Grant Leiendecker on the program’s highest-level initiatives. Hayward will lean on his NBA experience to advise on talent evaluation and recruitment, player development, and team culture. He will serve in a mentorship role to student-athletes within the program, focusing on leadership and professional development.
“We are thrilled to formally engage Gordon with Butler Basketball in this new role,” said Leiendecker, who was a teammate of Hayward’s during his two seasons with the Bulldogs. “Gordon’s 14-year NBA career speaks for itself — he’s competed against the best players in the world at the highest level of the game, learned from some of the best minds in basketball, and experienced what it takes to succeed as a professional. That wealth of knowledge, combined with his deep connection to Butler, makes him uniquely positioned to have an immediate and meaningful impact on our program. His leadership, insight, and passion for this place will be invaluable as we continue to build the future of Butler Basketball. This program owes Gordon a lot, and it’s really meaningful that he is giving back to Butler Basketball once again, sharing his time and talents.”
“There were a lot of people who were instrumental in my development on and off the court during my time at Butler, and I’m excited to give back to the program by helping today’s Bulldogs in a similar way,” said Hayward. “I look forward to building relationships with the staff and our current and future Bulldogs in order to positively impact the program that I care deeply about.”
“Gordon is on a very short list of the individuals who have meant the most to Butler University over the years,” said Matta. “It’s been incredible to have him and his family around the program more over the last few years, and I’m excited he’s taking on this role and helping us to shape the impact he can have on all aspects of our program. Any time you can deepen the relationship with one of the greatest ever to wear the uniform, it’s a huge win for your program.”
Hayward, who was inducted into the Butler Athletics Hall of Fame in 2022, retired from the NBA in 2024 after a successful 14-year career. Drafted by the Utah Jazz with the ninth overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft after leading Butler to the national championship game, Hayward would average 15.2 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game during his professional career. He was an All-Star in 2017 with Utah before signing with the Boston Celtics and his former Butler coach Brad Stevens as a free agent that summer. Following his seven seasons in Utah, he spent three seasons in Boston, three full seasons in Charlotte, and split his final 2023-24 season between Charlotte and Oklahoma City.
Hayward starred at Butler for two seasons (2008-09 and 2009-10) before starting his successful NBA career. Hayward was selected as the Most Outstanding Player at the NCAA West Regional in 2010, leading the Bulldogs to the program’s first Final Four appearance. At the Final Four, he was chosen as a member of the All-Tournament Team. He earned All-Horizon League first-team honors in each of his two seasons and was the 2010 Horizon League Player of the Year. In just two seasons, he scored 992 points and had 512 rebounds. Hayward earned Academic All-America third-team honors in 2009-10.
The Bulldogs open the 2025-26 season Friday (Oct. 17), hosting Notre Dame in an exhibition tip at Hinkle Fieldhouse.

IU INDY MEN’S SOCCER
JAGUARS FALL IN FINAL NON-CONFERENCE GAME OF THE SEASON
INDIANAPOLIS – The IU Indianapolis men’s soccer team dropped its final non-conference match of the 2025 campaign on Tuesday night (Oct. 14) as the Jaguars fell at home to Bellarmine, 1-0. The Jaguars conceded a restart goal in the game’s 13th minute to account for the game’s only tally.
Head coach Sid van Druenen’s team finished with a 9-5 margin in corner kicks and 13-11 shot advantage, but steered just three attempts on target against the Knights (7-3-2). Alex Halevy netted the game-winner with a bullet into the upper-left corner of the net from 20 yards out for his first score of the season.
“I think the boys dug deep. I think they tried. I think we were able to rotate a little bit more and rest some guys and focus a little bit more on the (Horizon League) game this week,” van Druenen said. “The effort, like always, has been great. The work rate is good. The intention is correct – they try to do the right thing and then we get to final third and we have been struggling and today was not any different. I told the guys, all we can do is put our head down, continue to work hard and eventually it’ll come.”
The Jaguars (4-6-3) were forced to chase the game after the Knights struck early. However, the IU Indy attack was held to just one shot in the opening 35 minutes before applying some pressure late in the first half. Sophomore Tyson Aschliman redirected a dangerous header in the 39th minute, but had it knocked down by a defender. Jose Antonio Herrera had a similar flick go off target in the 42nd minute and Aschliman fired again off target in the final minute of the first half.
The IU Indy attack was the aggressor to start the second half with Youri Keijser missing just over the bar in the 47th minute and Nikolai Zapolskikh misfired in the 49th minute. Junior Gijs Velings just missed from distance in the 59th minute as the Jaguars began racking up attempts.
The Jaguars didn’t put a shot on frame until the 70th minute when Herrera had an attempts stopped by Bellarmine keeper Peter Van Euwen for his first of three saves.
Bellarmine’s Tate McCrery nearly ended any suspense in the 85th minute when he rocketed a shot off the right post and rebound nearly snuck inside the opposite bar before rolling out of bounds.
The game ended as freshman Marcus Danh-Khoa Nguyen had a shot on goal as the final seconds ticked away.
Quentin Flowers and Herrera had a team-high three shots apiece while Finnegan made three saves in net. Flowers, making just his second start of the season, played a team-high 81 minutes in the defensive third.
The Jaguars return to action on Saturday (Oct. 18) when they trek to Northern Kentucky for a 4:00 p.m. kickoff on ESPN+.

QUOTABLE
“We’ve just got to continue to work on finishing. We’re creating the opportunities, whereas if we weren’t creating them, that would be a bigger issue. Hats off to their keeper as well. She had some great saves. We also have to hit it where she isn’t. We just have to do a better job of finding the open space in the net, and those opportunities are there.” Head coach Angela Berry White said.
SCOUTING MILWAUKEE
The Panthers on the season are 9-4-2 overall and 6-0-1 in league play. Milwaukee had a tough first couple of games, facing off against #23 Wisconsin, #20 Michigan State, and #22 North Carolina.

BALL STATE FIELD HOCKEY
FIELD HOCKEY DROPS MIDWEEK SHOWDOWN AT BIG TEN FOE MICHIGAN STATE
EAST LANSING, Mich. – The Ball State field hockey team (3-12) fell to Big Ten foe Michigan State (4-9) by a score of 5-1 in road action Tuesday afternoon at Ralph Young Field.
It was a very competitive first half between the Cardinals and the Spartans, with both teams keeping up the pace defensively throughout the first 30 minutes of action. In fact, neither team was able to post a tally on the scoreboard in the first quarter. It was not until the 21:34 mark of the second stanza when Bianca Pizano found the back of the cage to give the Spartans a 1-0 edge.
However, the Cardinals were able to answer about four minutes later when Emma van Hal scored on a penalty stroke to knot the game at one goal apiece. It was the eighth career goal for van Hal, who has been a constant offensive force throughout her four-year career with the Cardinals. The effort also sent both squads into their respective locker rooms for intermission tied at 1-1.
Despite the strong first half of play for Ball State, the third quarter saw Michigan State take the lead about 10 minutes into the frame. The Cardinals were able to hold off the Spartans defensively the remainder of the period with hope of tying up the contest potentially in the final 15 minutes of play.
Unfortunately, Michigan State tacked on three more scores in the final stanza giving the game its final margin of 5-1. Overall, van Hal led Ball State offensively with one goal, two shots and one shot on goal. Cardinals’ goalkeeper Carleigh Hofelich faced 13 corners and tallied six saves for the game. Hofelich now has 68 saves for the season.
The Ball State field hockey team returns to Mid-American Conference action Friday (Oct. 17), when it hosts Bellarmine. The game is slated for a 1 p.m. ET start at the Briner Sports Complex.
The Cardinals will also recognize its five seniors prior to the contest, while also welcoming back its alumni to the game.

MAHONEY IS CO-MEDALIST AT PURDUE INDIVIDUAL EVENT; CARDINALS FINISH 10TH OVERALL
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Avery Mahoney fired a 2-under par 69 on Tuesday to move from his 10th-place standing through one round in the Purdue Fall Invitational individual tournament, and finish with a share of co-medalist honors, with Jackson Overton of Loyola-Chicago. Mahoney and Overton both shot 3-over 74 in the opening round on the Ackerman-Allen Golf Course on Monday. The duo played side-by-side during Tuesday’s second round, with both firing birdie on the 16th hole and shooting par on the 17th and 18th to tie for the lead.
Overall, the team tournament conducted on the adjacent Kampen-Cosler Golf Course featured nationally ranked Purdue staging a dominant championship run, finishing 19 strokes better than second-place Butler. Among 15 schools, Ball State finished 10th with freshman Luke Johnston (74-70-72–216) leading the Cardinals to finish in 13th place among 78 golfers. Johnston shot 2-over in the opening round, 2-under in the second round and finished at par on Tuesday to finish two strokes out of the top ten.
“I’m really happy for Avery,” said Ball State coach Mike Fleck. “He is getting healthy again after a tough start to the fall with an injury. This week was big for his confidence and mentality moving forward, and it was great seeing him compete at full strength.”
Finishing behind Johnston in the team event was junior Cameron Young, who finished six strokes over par, and senior Carter Smith who was eight strokes over.
“It was a tough week for the team,” added Fleck, after Ball State finished behind Mid-American Conference rivals Northern Illinois and Toledo in team standings, and two strokes ahead of Ohio. “We just couldn’t connect with four quality scores each round. Conditions were perfect both days, too, and the course was gettable. We have a quick turnaround to regroup for Dayton and look to finish the fall well.”

Notes
About the Matchup
North Dakota State leads the all-time series with an 11-1 edge over the Sycamores dating back to the inaugural meeting back on November 1, 2008. The Bison are 6-0 all-time inside Memorial Stadium, including winning 31-26 over the Sycamores back on October 8, 2022.
North Dakota State has been No. 1 in the matchup in five matchups, including last seen in the 2022 season, with NDSU holding a 4-1 record in those contests. The Sycamores picked up the 17-14 win inside the Fargo Dome back on October 13, 2012, for their lone win in the series.
Last Time Against North Dakota State
North Dakota State ran their winning streak to seven consecutive games against Indiana State following the October 8, 2022, 31-26 win inside Memorial Stadium. The Sycamores held the 13-10 halftime lead over the Bison thanks in part to a Dante Hendrix touchdown reception and a Cade Chambers one-yard quarterback keeper. North Dakota State fought its way back into the contest in the second half behind a three-touchdown game from TaMerik Williams to go up 24-20 midway through the third quarter.
A late 10-yard touchdown pass from Cam Miller to Zach Mathis put the Bison ahead 31-20 with 5:44 remaining in the fourth quarter before the Sycamores put together a 10-play, 75-yard touchdown drive to fight back into the game. The drive was highlighted by a 34-yard Dante Hendrix catch and a Justin Dinka 25-yard carry, before Cade Chambers found Hendrix in the left corner on a one-yard fade pattern to cut the lead down to 31-26.
On the ensuing onside kick, NDSU’s Joe Stoffel collected the ball at the Bison 49 to end the Sycamores’ final chances to come back.
Justin Dinka recorded his first collegiate 100-yard rushing effort with 156 yards on nine carries, while adding an 82-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter. Dante Hendrix hauled in seven catches for 109 yards and a pair of scores in the loss. Rylan Cole recorded a career-high 19 tackles and added a forced fumble in leading four Sycamores with double-digit stops in the game.
Sycamores Against Ranked Opponents
Indiana State football is no stranger to facing ranked opponents as members of the Missouri Valley Football Conference. The Sycamores are currently slated to face eight teams currently ranked or receiving votes in both major FCS national polls, including the current No. 1 overall North Dakota State Bison, No. 2 South Dakota State, as well as Top 25 opponents Southern Illinois, Illinois State, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, and Youngstown State.
The Sycamores are 1-9 in their last 10 games against ranked opponents dating back to the 2022 season. Indiana State recorded their last win against a ranked opponent last season at home when the Sycamores topped then-No. 15 North Dakota on November 2, 2024, 35-31.
Scouting North Dakota State
North Dakota State heads into the weekend as the top overall ranked team in both the STATS FCS poll and AFCA Coaches poll after topping Southern Illinois this past week in Fargo, 45-17. The Bison are 6-0 overall on the season, and 3-0 in MVFC play. NDSU has picked up wins over The Citadel, Tennessee State, and SEMO in nonconference play, while defeating South Dakota, Illinois State, and SIU over the last three weeks.
The Bison are one of the most balanced teams in the entirety of the FCS sitting second overall in total defense (235.2 ypg) and fourth in total offense (501.3 ypg). NDSU is sixth in scoring offense (44.5 ppg) and boasts the top overall scoring defense at 10.5 points per game.
The balance is even more apparent in the run-pass split with NDSU sitting sixth overall in rushing offense (235.3 ypg) and 12th in passing offense (266.0 ypg). The Bison offense, led by reigning MVFC Player of the Week Cole Payton, also boasts the top completion percentage in the country at 75.0%, while turning the ball over just one time over the six games on the season.
Payton sits among the nation’s passing (236.0) and rushing (67.3) leaders on the season, while Barika Kpeenu paces the offensive attack with 81.3 rushing yards per game. Bryce Lance is the team’s receiving leader at 76.8 yards per game through the air.
Defensively, NDSU is led by Nathaniel Staehling’s 41 tackles, including an interception and fumble recovery. Keenan Wilson has helped the Bison control the line of scrimmage with 5.0 TFL and a team-high 4.0 sacks, while Donovan Woolen has 27 tackles, an interception and four pass breakups to go with 3.0 TFL.

SOUTHERN INDIANA WOMEN’S BASKETBALL
USI WOMEN’S BASKETBALL PROJECTED FOURTH IN THE OVC
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball is projected to place fourth in the 2025-26 Ohio Valley Conference season in a vote submitted by the league’s head coaches and communication directors.
USI heads into its fourth season in the Ohio Valley Conference and first as a full-fledged NCAA Division-I member in 2025-26. After completing the reclassification process, USI is now eligible to compete for an NCAA Championship postseason berth.
The Screaming Eagles are coming off a second consecutive berth in the Women’s National Invitation Tournament (WNIT) in 2024-25 and their first appearance in the Super Sixteen. USI went 23-13 overall and 12-8 in the OVC last season.
The 11-team OVC will feature a schedule with each team playing each other twice in a home-and-home split for a 20-game schedule. The conference schedule will run from December 18, 2025, through February 28, 2026. The conference’s season concludes with the OVC Basketball Championship Tournament at the Ford Center in Evansville, Indiana, March 4-7, 2026.
Lindenwood University, last season’s runner-up in the OVC, topped the OVC preseason poll with 179 points and six first-place votes. Reigning Ohio Valley Conference champion Tennessee Tech University was picked second with 175 points and 12 first-place votes. Western Illinois University received a third-place projection with 166 points and four first-place votes.
USI Women’s Basketball was picked fourth with 147 points, and Eastern Illinois University was selected with 121 points. The University of Tennessee at Martin was sixth with 117 points in front of Little Rock with 110 points. Tennessee State University (78) and Southeast Missouri State University (51) were projected eighth and ninth, respectively. Morehead State University and Southern Illinois University Edwardsville rounded out the preseason poll in a tie for tenth with 33 points.
As part of the OVC’s preseason announcement, USI was represented by two players on the 2025-26 OVC Players to Watch List. Senior guard Ali Saunders and junior forward Chloe Gannon were named to the list.
Saunders is USI’s top returning scorer after finishing third on the team with 10.5 points per game last season, making 32 starts in 34 appearances. Saunders shot the ball for over 42 percent from the floor and nearly 33 percent from beyond the arc in 2024-25. The guard averaged a team-high 32.9 minutes and pulled down 3.7 rebounds per game as a junior. Only two seasons removed from an All-OVC Newcomer Team selection in 2023-24, Saunders topped the team and OVC with 157 assists last year, her second consecutive season with 100-plus assists, and was second in the conference with 4.6 helpers per outing. Saunders finished third in the OVC with a 1.5 assist-to-turnover ratio. Defensively, Saunders was just as impactful, leading USI and the OVC with 87 steals and second in the OVC with 2.6 steals per game. Saunders scored 10 or more points in 17 games in 2024-25.
Gannon is coming off a strong finish to the 2024-25 campaign, posting 14 points in USI’s final game of the season against the University at Buffalo in the WNIT Super Sixteen. As a sophomore last season, Gannon made 33 appearances, averaging 14.6 minutes per game. The forward notched 5.2 points and 2.5 boards per outing while shooting over 42 percent overall. In the back end of the 2024-25 slate, Gannon dropped a season-high 16 points against Little Rock in early February and combined for 15 points with seven rebounds in USI’s final two games at last year’s OVC tournament. Gannon is only two seasons removed from an OVC All-Tournament Team selection in 2023-24, when the Screaming Eagles swept the OVC championship titles that season.
USI Women’s Basketball tips off its 2025-26 season on Monday, November 3 at 6 p.m. against Franklin College from inside Liberty Arena, home of the Screaming Eagles. The Eagles begin their OVC slate on December 18 when USI hosts Little Rock.

VALPO FOOTBALL
FOOTBALL RETURNS TO ROAD TO BATTLE ST. THOMAS
Valparaiso (1-5, 0-2 PFL)
at St. Thomas (3-3, 1-2 PFL)
Game #7 Saturday, Oct. 18, 1 p.m. CT
O’Shaughnessy Stadium (5,025) – St. Paul, Minn.
This Week in Valpo Football: The Valparaiso University football team is right back on the road this week, its fourth away game in the last five contests, as the Beacons make the trip to the twin cities to battle St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Previously: Valpo outscored Dayton 10-0 after halftime, but the Flyers raced out to a 41-0 lead over the first 30 minutes in last week’s first Pioneer Football League home game of the season. Anthony Feltrinelli and Nic Lendino shared the team lead with nine tackles apiece. Brayden Welch hauled in a 25-yard touchdown from Rowan Keefe before Luke Scoma capped the game’s scoring with a 27-yard field goal in the closing seconds. A big run after the catch by Amir Simmons and an impressive sprawling grab by Jay Melchiori were other highlights for the hosts.
Glancing Ahead: Next week is Homecoming and Family Weekend at Valparaiso University as the Beacons host Morehead State at noon. It’s a Gold Out as fans are encouraged to wear gold as they turn out to cheer on the Beacons.
Series Notes: Valpo is seeking its first win over St. Thomas in a brief all-time series that began when the Tommies joined the Pioneer Football League in 2021. The Beacons are 0-4 in the series, but have come close in both road matchups, falling 20-13 on Oct. 9, 2021 and 16-10 on Nov. 18, 2023. Most recently, the Tommies were 42-14 winners on Oct. 19 of last season at Brown Field.
Following the Beacons: All 12 games this season will be streamed nationally, with 10 on ESPN+, one on Midco Sports Plus (at St. Thomas) and one on FloSports (at Butler). Saturday’s game will air on Midco Sports Plus with Corbu Stathes (play-by-play), Chris Ohm (analyst) and Allie Mosley (sideline) comprising the on-air team. The hometown radio call of the game will air on WVUR, 95.1 FM Valparaiso with Todd Ickow (play-by-play) and Brandon Vickrey (analyst). For in-game updates, follow @valpoufootball on X. Links to live video and stats can be found on ValpoAthletics.com.
Scouting the Tommies
Coming off a 57-13 win at Davidson after starting league play with tight losses at San Diego (30-27) and vs. Butler (21-14, ot).
Went a combined 15-1 in Pioneer Football League action in 2022 and 2023 before going 5-3 last season.
Are notoriously tough to beat at home as they are 35-4 in their last 39 games at O’Shaughnessy Stadium including at one point a 31-game home winning streak.
Under the direction of head coach Glenn Caruso, who has led the program to great success since taking over in 2008.
Top Tacklers
Redshirt freshman Anthony Feltrinelli and redshirt sophomore Nic Lendino are the team’s top tacklers this season.
Feltrinelli leads the way with 44 tackles through six games, while Lendino is close behind with 43. They shared the team lead with nine tackles apiece on Oct. 11 vs. Dayton.
Feltrinelli’s nine against the Flyers marked his second-highest total of the season and the third time in six games that he’s had at least eight.
Lendino has notched 21 of his tackles in the first two PFL games against Drake and Dayton. He has five stops or more in five straight contests and at least eight on three occasions this season.
Lendino is on the brink of a career milestone as he needs two more tackles to reach 100 for his career. He is also the lone Beacon with multiple interceptions this season, owning two of the team’s five picks.
True freshman Micah Markley is third on the team with 32 stops despite playing in only five of the six games.
Top Targets
Marietta transfer Jay Melchiori and redshirt freshman Ryan Ricketti share the team lead with 15 catches apiece.
Melchiori reached the 100-reception milestone for his collegiate career in the Oct. 11 game vs. Dayton. He made 85 catches during the 2023 and 2024 seasons at Marietta.
Ricketti redshirted and played in four games last season, but has enjoyed a breakout surge in 2025 after not having a collegiate catch prior to this year.
Melchiori leads the team with 179 receiving yards, while Chris Gundy is second with 12 receptions for 152 yards. Gundy has amassed 53 grabs for 644 yards over three seasons in a Valpo uniform.
Notes Wrapping Up Week 7: Dayton 41, Valpo 10
The Beacons completed a season-high 19 passes against the Flyers, eclipsing the previous season-best of 15. Valpo’s 207 yards through the air were also a season high.
Valpo’s team punting average was its best in any game where the team had at least two punts this year, as Nate Hillenburg averaged 39.2 yards per punt on six attempts.
The Beacons also moved the ball better on the ground, rushing for 104 yards, more than the previous two games combined.
Valpo played without several key players due to injuries, including starting running back Michael Mansaray, starting linebacker Max Samuel, starting offensive lineman Dan Theiss and two-deep wide receiver Devin Yeats, among others.
Alex Goworowski and Matt Molnar formed a wall to block a PAT, Valpo’s first blocked extra point since Sept. 23, 2023, when Kurt Kessen turned one away against Marist.
Amir Simmons had his first career reception and led the team with 63 receiving yards, all on the one catch.
Jay Melchiori had a team-high and season-high five grabs including one of the highlight reel variety. He returned to the catch column after none over the previous two games.
Freshman Michael Rumoro had four catches to go along with eight carries for 36 yards. He made his first collegiate start at running back with Mansaray sidelined.
This was a clean game from a penalty perspective with each team committing just three infractions. The first half was entirely flag free.
Kicker Luke Scoma improved to 12-for-13 on PATs this season and had his fourth made field goal in six tries.
The teams were nearly identical through the air, with Dayton holding a slight 210-207 advantage. The Flyers notched 371 yards of total offense to Valpo’s 311.
Brayden Welch became the fifth different Beacon with a receiving touchdown this season, hauling in a 25-yard score. This marked not only his first career score, but his first collegiate reception as well.
Staying Disciplined
Valpo has been tagged with 210 penalty yards this season, the 12th fewest nationally in FCS and second fewest in the PFL.
Valpo has committed more penalties than the opponent just once in six games this season.
In three different games, the Beacons were flagged three times or fewer (vs. Adrian, at North Dakota, vs. Dayton).
Getting Off the Field
Valpo opponents are just 24-of-77 on third down this season, good for just 31.2 percent.
The Beacons rank tied for 11th nationally in FCS in third-down defense.
Third-down defense was also a strength of Marietta’s last season, when current Valpo head coach Andy Waddle and defensive coordinator Zach Feltrop helped the Pioneers lead the NCAA Division-III nation in that statistical category at .250.
Notes Wrapping Up Week 6: Drake 41, Valpo 0
Nic Lendino had 12 tackles, including 11 in the first half, and grabbed an interception. His dozen tackles outdid his previous career high of 10 on Sept. 28, 2024 at Morehead State.
Lendino’s interception was his second of the season and the fourth of his career.
Junior Devin Yeats had a team-high four catches for 34 yards.
Freshman Micah Markley turned in six tackles, as did junior Mark Johnson.
The pressure applied by Drake’s defensive front was a big factor as the Beacons were sacked seven times and threw three interceptions.
Drake improved to 19-1 in its last 20 PFL games.
Valpo was shut out for the first time since Nov. 19, 2022, also against Drake, that one a 24-0 defeat.
Campbell Trophy Semifinalist
Redshirt senior De’Andre Wilborn earned a high honor on Sept. 24 as he was named a semifinalist for the 2025 William V. Campbell Trophy, college football’s premier scholar-athlete award presented by the National Football Foundation.
Celebrating its 36th year, the Campbell Trophy recognizes an individual as the best football scholar-athlete in the nation for his combined academic success, football performance and exemplary leadership. He is one of 44 semifinalists from FCS programs, one of three from the Pioneer Football League and one of 177 overall.
Wilborn, who earned NFF Hampshire Honor Society recognition in 2025, is pursuing a master’s degree in sports administration at Valpo after graduating from Georgetown in December 2023 with a degree in government and minor in sociology. Wilborn was a member of the Patriot League academic honor roll from 2021-2023 before earning a place on the Pioneer Football League academic honor roll in 2024.
A Valpo football team leader, Wilborn’s off-the-field endeavors include working as part of the Valpo Athletics gameday staff, completing an internship with Jason Friedman running for Congress Illinois 7th District in summer 2025 and participating in “Dressed for School Valparaiso.” While at Georgetown, he was a member of Black Student-Athlete Coalition and a FlagStar football coach/intern from 2020-2023, teaching youth and low-income students how to play football.
The NFF will announce 12-16 finalists on Oct. 22, and each of them will receive an $18,000 postgraduate scholarship as a member of the 2025 NFF National Scholar-Athlete Class Presented by Fidelity Investments.

Live during the event, one member of the class will be declared as the winner of the 36th Campbell Trophy® and have his postgraduate scholarship increased to $25,000.
Ricketti Recognized
Redshirt freshman Ryan Ricketti was recognized for his big day on special teams in the team’s game at FCS, scholarship foe Western Illinois on Sept. 13.
While the Pioneer Football League does not officially recognize a Freshman of the Week, he was tabbed the league’s top freshman for Week 3 and nominated by the league office for national Freshman of the Week honors. In addition, Ricketti was named Honorable Mention for FCS National Special Teams Player of the Week by STATS Perform.
Ricketti became the first FCS player with a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown this season, part of a day where he had 149 kickoff return yards on three returns in the Week 3 game at FCS scholarship opponent Western Illinois. Ricketti became just the third Division-I player (FBS and FCS) in the nation with a 100-yard kick return touchdown this season, joining Virginia’s Cam Ross and Kent State’s De’Realyst Clark. He became the first Valpo player with a kickoff return touchdown since Ollie Reese on Oct. 12, 2019 vs. Dayton (95 yards).
This was Valpo’s longest kickoff return in over two decades. Currently, the longest possible credited kickoff return under NCAA rules is 100 yards. The Valpo record is 103 by Don Koehm on Nov. 8, 1947 vs. Wheaton. Through Week 6, Ricketti ranks second in the nation in kickoff return average at 33.3.

VALPO MEN’S GOLF
PAIR OF BEACONS CARD EVEN PAR ROUNDS ON FINAL DAY OF FALL SEASON
The Valparaiso University men’s golf team wrapped up the fall slate with the Purdue Fall Invitational, which concluded with the third and final round on Tuesday at the par-72, 7465-yard Kampen-Cosler Golf Course in West Lafayette, Ind. Junior Elliot Lee (Tillamook, Ore. / Tillamook) and freshman Charlie Davenport (Clarendon Hills, Ill. / Benet Academy) led the team by carding even par rounds on Tuesday.
How It Happened
Junior Adam Melliere (Zionsville, Ind. / Zionsville) had the top 54-hole tournament score of any member of the lineup, closing the event with a 223 including a 75 on Tuesday. He tied for 37th in a 78-player field.
Lee, Davenport and sophomore Rodrigo Garcia Teruel (Puebla, Mexico / Modern Academy) were all part of t-66 at 232.
After bogeying two of his first three holes, Davenport played the rest of Tuesday’s round at -2. He birdied three out of four holes from 14-17, before he finished on the front nine by carding even par on all nine holes.
Lee also played his best golf of the tournament over his final nine holes on Tuesday. He stroked a 2-under 34 on those nine holes, with birdies on Holes 4 and 5 and par or better on all nine.
The team had its best round of the tournament at 297 (+9), finishing the event in 15th at 914. In Tuesday’s round, the Beacons beat Southern Illinois, Ohio, South Dakota State and Purdue Fort Wayne and tied Loyola Chicago.
Host Purdue won the tournament at 839, while SIU’s Anthony De Schutter was the medalist at 210.
In addition to the 54-hole team tournament, Purdue hosted a separate 36-hole tournament for individuals not part of the team lineup this week. The four Beacons not playing in the team event golfed 18 holes each day, led by senior Owen Sander (Carmel, Ind. / Carmel) with a 146 (+4). He tied for sixth in the individual tournament. In Tuesday’s round, Brayden Fetzer (Trumbull, Conn.) had a team-best 71 (E) including a 3-under 33 on the front nine with birdies on four of the nine holes. Sander, Fetzer and Ryan Somerville (Aurora, Ontario / Aurora) all notched top-10 finishes in the individual tournament.
Thoughts from Head Coach Dave Gring
“We wrapped up our fall season today with our best round of the three at the Purdue Fall Invitational. We were led by Elliot Lee and Charlie Davenport with even par rounds for both of them. Elliot led our team with four birdies and Charlie had three. Despite a little bit of a slow start for both of them in the first five holes, their ball-striking was solid and they putted well on the greens. Adam Melliere had another good round for us, despite starting the day with three bogeys. His ball-striking was very solid for the entire tournament and he gave himself a lot of good opportunities for birdies.”
“The team had 12 birdies on the day, but we still left a lot of scoring opportunities out there. We will certainly spend a lot of time this offseason working on our putting accuracy and speed. I was pleased with our finish to the tournament, with the guys that scored for us playing the final nine holes at one over. We had dug ourselves such a huge hole to start the tournament, but the team stayed resilient and kept playing hard until the end of the tournament. We have a lot of work to do this offseason and the guys are ready to get after it.”
Up Next
The Beacons will tee off the spring season on Monday, Feb. 9 at the Lake Jovita Invitational, hosted by Ball State and Richmond at Jake Jovita Golf & Country Club in Dade City, Fla.

UINDY MEN’S GOLF
MEN’S GOLF PLACES NINTH, WATKINS GRABS TOP 10 FINISH AT DOC SPRAGG INVITATIONAL
FINDLAY, Ohio — Facing a tough Midwest Region-heavy field for the third consecutive tournament, the UIndy men’s golf team captured a ninth-place finish at the annual Doc Spragg Invitational, held at Findlay Country Club.
Seven of the top 10 teams from the final 2024-25 NCAA DII Midwest Regional rankings were in attendance at this week’s event; Ashland, Ferris State, Findlay, Hillsdale, Saginaw Valley, UMSL, and Wayne State.
Senior Jackson Watkins led the way for the Greyhounds in the two-day event, posting a -1 three-round score, which was good enough for a share of 9th place.
“It was an up and down week for us as a team,” head coach Andy Serketich said. “Jackson had a great week and has led us 2 of our 3 events this fall. I’m proud of his Jackson’s mindset and his ability to stay present on the shot at hand. He’s one of our co-captain’s and so I’m grateful for his leadership on and off the course.”
INS & OUTS
Watkins came out firing on Monday, as he sat with a share of the lead after 18 holes with a stellar -3 (69) that saw him birdie four of the final five holes, and followed it up with an even par 72 in the second round to put him into a share of fourth place heading into the final day.
Starting on the back nine to begin Tuesday, Watkins played his first 10 holes at even par, sitting in a share for third place with eventual tournament medalist Aiden Hibbard from Hillsdale. Watkins came down the stretch at +2 with bogies on the second and third holes, which was still enough for him to earn his first top 10 finish of the 2025 season.
Alexander Nestun posted the Hounds’ next best finish on the week with a T17 (+2), carding scores of 77-68-73. His second round -4 (68) was tied for the second best single round score of the entire tournament. He closed out his round, eagle-birdie-birdie, including a birdie on the par 3 second hole, which ranked as the third toughest hole on the entire week.
After a first round 78, Fredrik Rønnov rebounded with a 74-69 in his final two rounds that vaulted him up into a T34 (+5) finish. His tournament was highlighted by an eagle hole out on the par 4 10th hole, which also marked his final hole of the week.
“Jackson, Alex and Fredrik all had a round in the 60’s which is great golf,” Serketich said. “We know we have the ability to contend in these events and now we just need to improve our consistency.”
Junior Joseph Armfield and senior Drew Rowen, who competed as an individual this week, both finished T73 (+15), while Theo Morris ended the week in 82nd at +18.
“Findlay Country Club exposes the aspects of your game that need improvement and we’ll attack those areas to prepare for the next opportunity,” Serketich said.
UP NEXT
UIndy will head out to Mystic River Golf Club in Farmington, PA for the Nemacolin Intercollegiate on Oct. 20-21, the team’s final tournament of the 2025 fall season.
