  • Hoops showdowns in Mogadore, tournament hockey in Kent

    Mogadore's Amelia Morris and Southeast's Jenna Canale look to lead their teams once again in the paint Monday evening.

    Here’s a quick look at the week ahead:

    Girls Basketball: Big showdowns in Mogadore

    All eyes turn to Mogadore as the Wildcats host two big showdowns. On Monday, Mogadore hosts former Portage Trail Conference rival Southeast in an intriguing game between two defensively-oriented teams. Their last six meetings have been decided by single digits, with each prevailing on their home court last year. Wildcats senior Amelia Morris and Pirates sophomore Jenna Canale should have many great battles for rebounds. Also watch as Kristen Campbell, Sarah Craver and Bailey Morris lead an athletic Southeast backcourt against an equally athletic Mogadore backcourt highlighted by the Tompkins twins (Ari and Julia), who are known for applying an immense amount of pressure. Two days later, the Wildcats host Warren JFK, last year’s PTC runner-up, in a game that could prove pivotal in the league title chase. The Wildcats will look to apply plenty of pressure against the Eagles’ dangerous duo of Didi Ryan (17.5 points per game) and Gianna Pompelia (16.5).

  • No. 6 Penn men’s soccer falls to UMass 1-0 in NCAA tournament

    No. 6 Penn men’s soccer falls to UMass 1-0 in NCAA tournament

    A successful season for Penn men’s soccer comes to a disappointing close, with an unexpected upset 1-0 loss in the NCAA tournament. 

    Penn men’s soccer (14-3-2, 7-0 Ivy) faced off against the University of Massachusetts Amherst (12-3-4, 5-2-1 Atlantic 10). With the No. 6 seed following an at-large NCAA bid, Penn hosted the game at Rhodes Field, but fell with a loss in the single-elimination tournament.

    The first half was defined by a back-and-forth struggle for clean possession, but neither team had the opportunity to get a shot off. UMass applied a lot of pressure, particularly favoring the right side of the field. Its offensive push led to seven shots in the first half of play, but none would connect. 

    After a shot attempt by forward Alec Hughes, sophomore goalkeeper Phillip Falcon III saved the ball. But an attempted roll to his teammate was intercepted by Hughes dangerously close to the goal. With Falcon off the line, Hughes fired a shot that bounced off the crossbar. The ball rebounded straight back to forward Johan Feilscher who leapt to head the ball in the goal. 

    The only thing standing between him and the goal was senior defender Leo Burney. He hopped along the goal line with Falcon drawn out. Burney headed the ball out, sending it flying out of the Quakers’ area.

    Burney’s save is indicative of his performance as Ivy League Defender of the Year. He and the rest of his senior class had taken home multiple conference awards, including midfielder Aaron Messer, defender Ben Do, and forwards Brandon Curran and Stas Korzeniowski — the latter of whom shared the title of Ivy League Offensive Player of the Year. 

    “They’re a really interesting group, and each one of those pieces feeds the other,” coach Brian Gill said. “Leo and Stas sometimes get the most notoriety, [but] I think all seven of the [seniors] contributed to their special quality as a group.”

    The teams entered the second half of play tied 0-0, but there was a quick push by the Minutemen. A series of headers in the box ensued, and Hughes found the top left of the net after just two minutes of play to give the Minutemen the lead and only goal of the game at the 47th-minute mark. 

    Following this goal, UMass dominated control for the first ten minutes of the half, but the momentum then switched to Penn, which maintained possession for the majority of the remaining time and was knocking on UMass’ doorstep. 

    The Quakers had good ball movement and saw many crosses into the box, but for each one, a Minuteman was there to clear it. In a burst of energy and drive to keep their season alive, the Quakers got off nine total shots in the half, but all went off target or were blocked by goalkeeper Alex Geczy. Unfazed by taunts from the Quaker faithful behind him, Geczy had seven saves, including five in the second half. 

    In the 71st minute, it looked like Penn’s patient efforts might pay off when a shot by senior forward Stas Korzeniowski from just outside the six found the bottom left of the goal. Unfortunately for Penn, Korzeniowski was called offside, which was confirmed by review. 

    Penn never gave up hope, continuing to control play with persistent offensive efforts. The team had good looks with late-game corners, totaling four for the day, but UMass interrupted every attempt toward the goal until the final buzzer sounded.

    Despite not moving forward in the NCAA Tournament, the senior class’ careers were marked by a turnaround since its freshman season, where it only won one Ivy game. Now it finishes as three-time regular season conference champions, leaving a lasting legacy for its younger teammates.

    “There’s like that expectation, to want to be in these kinds of games, [and] to want to be able to compete for conference championships, and so anytime you’re able to kind of start to turn that corner, it’s typically going to be because those messages take hold with groups, they start to raise their own standards and expectations,” Gill said in regards to the seniors’ impact. 

    Penn finishes the season with an impressive resume, including two defeats over then-nationally ranked teams Pitt and Hofstra and its third straight Ivy League regular season championship. 

    “There’s a finality you can’t prepare for,” Gill said. “Hopefully the guys will look back and really appreciate the accomplishments … We don’t get this game here in this tournament without having those successes.”

  • No. 5 seed Michigan State women’s soccer knocks off Western Michigan 3-1 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament

    No. 5 seed Michigan State women’s soccer knocks off Western Michigan 3-1 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament

    EAST LANSING, Mich. (WILX) – Fifth-seeded Michigan State women’s soccer punched its third-consecutive ticket to the second round of the NCAA Tournament with a 3-1 first-round victory over Western Michigan on Saturday at DeMartin Stadium.

    MSU moves to 13-2-5 with the win, while Western Michigan ends its season at 13-2-6. The Spartans advance to play No. 4 seed and SEC champion Texas on Friday, Nov. 22 at 4 p.m. in the second round at Duke.

    Graduate midfielder Emily Mathews opened the scoring for the Spartans in the 16th minute before graduate midfielder Justina Gaynor added another in the 18th minute. Sophomore midfielder Bella Najera sealed MSU’s victory with her seventh goal of the season late in the second half. In goal, MSU graduate goalkeeper Kaitlyn Parks secured her 11th win of the season, making one save.

    The Spartans held an 11-9 advantage in shots, including a 9-2 edge in shots on goal and held the Broncos without a corner kick for the game while registering nine of their own. “It’s a race to one in this game because if they score first, then they would sit much deeper and make it more challenging on us,” said head coach Jeff Hosler. “To score first, to keep the game wide open made a world of difference, not just in the first half, but carried onto the second half. It is important to keep your foot on the gas. We talked about that as a team the last few weeks, if you get a goal, have a little bit more urgency to go forward. Go get that next goal. It’s important for us to keep our foot on the gas, and we did that today.”

    MSU controlled possession throughout the opening minutes but was unable to record a shot. In the ninth minute, WMU’s Jen Blitchok registered the Broncos’ only on-target look of the game, but her shot was easily corralled by Parks.

    The Spartans’ first two shots of the game resulted in a pair of goals. Mathews opened up the scoring in the 16th minute after graduate forward Meg Hughes found her just outside the box. Mathews dribbled into the box and shot into the bottom left corner for her seventh goal of the season and first since Sept. 19 against Nebraska. Hughes was credited with the assist, recording her team-leading 20th point of the season.

    Still lethal on the attack, MSU doubled its lead a minute later with Gaynor’s fifth goal of the season. Gaynor found junior defender Sofia Beerworth’s cross in front of the WMU goalkeeper and shot through a group of Bronco defenders for the 2-0 MSU lead.

    The Broncos found their offensive footing after the MSU goals while holding the Spartans without a shot for the following 10 minutes. After an MSU turnover, Blitchok capitalized on a loose ball and shot past Parks to get the Broncos within a goal in the 32nd minute.

    Neither side was able to get off any quality looks for the remaining 15 minutes, heading to the break with a 2-1 Spartan lead.

    WMU’s Brielle Gomez was issued a red card early in the second half, forcing the Broncos to play with 10 players for the remainder of the game. MSU took advantage, recording five-straight on-target shots throughtout the opening 15 minutes of the half.

    MSU continued to dominate possession throughout the second half. Despite an offensive push from WMU with 25 to go, the Broncos could not get off any quality looks.

    Najera added the insurance goal for the Spartans in the 83rd minute, sending graduate forward Mackenzie Anthony’s cross to the top right corner of the net for her team-leading seventh goal of the season.

    WMU could not get any shots off in the final minutes as the Spartans secured the 3-1 win.

    Duke hosts the NCAA Second and Third Rounds, scheduled for Friday, Nov. 22 and Sunday, Nov. 24, respectively. The winner of Friday’s Michigan State/Texas match will play the winner of top-seeded Duke and No. 8 seed Texas Tech in the third round.

    FROM HEAD COACH OLE KEUSGEN

    “We played a very good first half. Created a lot of opportunities, circle entries and shots. But in the second half, we didn’t create enough attacking situations. We prepared very well, corner wise, and that made a big difference. Having that one-nothing lead after our first corners, that meant a lot to us. Defensively, it’s never really a concern. We stood strong. We held strong very well in our defensive 25, but in the end, we didn’t have enough possessions. We didn’t hold enough possession against and under pressure, so we need to look into that and do better moving forward.”

    UP NEXT

    The winner of the Virginia/Northwestern game will advance to the NCAA Semifinals, being held Nov. 22 at Phyllis Ocker Field in Ann Arbor, Mich.

    UMW field hockey takes home inaugural CFHC tournament title

    While Mary Washington field hockey missed out on being one of 16 teams to make the Division III NCAA tournament as the field was announced earlier this week, the Eagles did end their season on a high over the weekend.

    UMW was one of four teams in the inaugural Collegiate Field Hockey Conference (CFHC) tournament in Sewanee, Tennessee, defeating Centre College in the semifinals and Rhodes College in the final.

    The Eagles (13-7) out-scored opponents, 12-4, in the tournament, building up a 6-1 lead in the final before a late Rhodes charge, which came up short in the end.

    Grayson Scott scored four goals in the tournament final and five in the tournament overall while Emma Bernard scored a hat trick in the semis against Centre.

    Men’s soccer

    Mary Washington solidified itself as the best team in the Coast-To-Coast Athletic Conference, winning the conference championship in extra time over Christopher Newport on Sunday, 3-2.

    Carter Berg scored twice in the win, including the game-winner in added time after the Captains equalized in the 89th minute at 2-2.

    This season’s conference tournament was a tight one for the No. 1 Eagles, defeating Salisbury in penalties after being tied 1-1 after both overtime periods.

    It took seven rounds of penalties to decide a winner, but after the Sea Gulls skied the net for a second time in the shootout, it clinched victory for UMW, set to host NCAA tournament action this weekend.

    Women’s soccer

    UMW’s playoff journey ended early in the C2C tournament semifinals, losing to UC Santa Cruz, the eventual tournament champions, 3-2.

    That result marked the end of the season for the Eagles (9-6-4), who missed out on an at-large berth in the NCAA tournament as the full bracket was announced on Monday.

    Mary Washington had a potential opportunity to equalize in the final minute of play after Ellen Shine scored her third goal of the season to make it a one-goal match, but the Eagles couldn’t finish the comeback in time.

    Volleyball

    Mary Washington closed out the regular season on a high note after a straight-set loss Thursday against Christopher Newport.

    The Eagles won two-straight matches, one in four sets against Averett and a five-set thriller against Berry (Ga.) to head into the C2C tournament with a 14-15 record.

    Sunday’s regular season finale was a tight one as UMW pulled out the fifth set, 15-13, but struggled offensively overall, recording 57 kills and hitting .169 as a team.

    UMW will take on Salisbury in the conference semifinals on Friday evening, having gone 0-2 against the Sea Gulls and taken one set in two matches overall in the regular season.

    Men’s basketball

    UMW men’s basketball began its 2024-25 campaign over the weekend at the Virginia Wesleyan Tipoff Tournament, going 1-1.

    The Eagles opened up with an 85-71 win over Kean as three players finished with 12 or more points, led by Zack Blue and Jadon Burgess, who both had 16 points in the win. UMW shot 52.6 percent from the field and 42.9 percent from the perimeter against the Cougars.

    That success didn’t translate into Saturday’s game against Virginia Wesleyan, a 65-48 loss where the Eagles shot 34 percent from the field and 3 of 18 (16.7 percent) from three.

    Mary Washington will head to Ohio this weekend for the Marietta Tipoff Tournament.

    Women’s basketball

    Mary Washington women’s basketball got its new season kicked off in Harrisonburg with the Eastern Mennonite Tipoff Tournament over the weekend.

    The Eagles went 0-2, struggling to score as through two games, UMW is shooting 34.1 percent from the field and 6-for-26 (23.1 percent) from 3-point range. That included shooting under 30 percent overall against Eastern Mennonite and just 2 of 16 from beyond the arc.

    That game saw Mary Washington take a 52-50 lead with 2:04 left in the fourth quarter, but went 0 for 5 from the field and 0 for 2 from the foul line the rest of the way.

    UMW hosts Randolph-Macon for its season opener on Wednesday evening.

  • Memphis men’s soccer hosting AAC tournament after midseason turnaround

    A year after a record-breaking season, Memphis men’s soccer was stuck in a rut.

    Put simply, the Tigers were going backward. They opened the 2024 season 1-4, struggling to replace star striker Lineker Rodrigues dos Santos as they piled up nonconference losses.

    “It’s tough,” coach Richard Mulrooney said. “At the end of the day, when you’re 1-4, as much as I want to say, ‘Guys, we’re better than this,’ records don’t lie.”

    The problem, defender Logan Longo said, was that Memphis had no identity. After a loss to Mercer, at the lowest point of the season, they finally found it.

  • UWS Men’s, Women’s soccer NCAA tournament opponents revealed

    UWS Men’s, Women’s soccer NCAA tournament opponents revealed

    The soccer scene in the UMAC has been dominated by the UWS Yellowjackets, with the men’s team claiming their 8th straight title on Saturday, and the women claiming their 4th straight.

    Both teams learned of their NCAA tournament opponents on Monday afternoon. UWS men’s soccer was full of celebration and cheers when they found out their opponent, North Park. North Park was 13-2-5 this season, the Yellowjackets 17-3-2. UWS won’t take no for an answer this year.

    “Obviously there are no bad teams and there’s only 64 teams left right now out of, you know, over 400 that start the season, so it’s only down to the best teams and North Park is certainly one of them,” said head coach Joe Mooney. “We’ve seen them in the past at different points and so in some ways it’s kind of similar teams that’ll be facing each other. I think it’ll be a really good first test and obviously we’re going to spend the next week preparing for that.”

    “I mean if we want to go win the national championship we got to be able to beat any team, so I mean that’s the way we’re looking at it,” said Jake Kidd, a junior forward. “Just playing who we have to play, focusing on ourselves and trying to get to the next round. Get the first one down.”

    UWS men’s soccer takes on North Park on Saturday at 1:30 p.m. at St. Olaf.

    As for the women’s squad, they too learned their fate today, they’ll take on a Carleton College team that went 14-2-5 to UWS’ 14-7-2, but this group of seniors isn’t scared of anything in what could be their last game together.

    “I think it’ll be a tough group to say goodbye to. Like I said, they’ve been committed. They’ve done everything on and off the field that we’ve asked of them. Because of that, the team is super motivated to play for them. At the beginning of the year, I told the team, ‘We have 12 seniors, this is their last opportunity. It’s not about them, but it is for them,’” said Allison DeGroot, head coach of UWS women’s soccer.

    “Every time we go out there, it could be our last time on the field, which just ignites something a little more. It’s just been so fun. It’s been such high energy, such high positive energy. Everyone contributes. There’s 34 people on our team and there’s not a single person who isn’t,” said Niya Wilson, a fifth year forward.

    A three seed marks the highest ever for the UWS women’s soccer program. They’ll be put to the test on Saturday at 3:30 against Carleton, that game played in Dubuque, Iowa.

    MSU women’s soccer punches its ticket to third straight NCAA Tournament

    EAST LANSING, Mich. (WILX) – For the third-consecutive season, Michigan State women’s soccer has earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Women’s Soccer Tournament, as announced Monday. The Spartans are the No. 5 seed in their region and will host Western Michigan on Saturday, Nov. 16 at noon at DeMartin Stadium.

    Monday’s selection is the seventh overall for the Spartans and marks the first time in program history that MSU has earned three-straight NCAA bids. It is also MSU’s third-consecutive season earning a seeded selection and first-round home game, having traveled in its first four tournament appearances (2002, 2005, 2008-09).

    MSU posted its best NCAA Tournament finish last season, advancing to the third round to face top-seeded BYU after a first-round victory over Ohio and second round win against Harvard. In 2022, the Spartans defeated Milwaukee in the first round.

    The winner of Saturday’s match advances to play the winner of fourth-seeded Texas and Patriot League champion Boston University. The highest remaining seed in the region after the first-round games will host the second and third rounds.

    Duke is the No. 1 seed in the region, while Texas is the No. 4 seed and Texas Tech is the No. 8 seed.

    The Spartans are one of 10 teams in the Big Ten to earn a bid to the tournament, joining UCLA, USC, Iowa, Penn State, Minnesota, Washington, Rutgers, Ohio State, and Wisconsin. Non-conference opponents Notre Dame and Arkansas are also in the field of 64.

    MSU earns the No. 5 seed in the region after going 12-2-5 (7-1-3 B1G) in 2024. The Spartans have registered a top 25 ranking from the United Soccer Coaches every week this season, including the top ranking in the country on Sept. 24. A program-record seven Spartans – Julia Belli, Justina Gaynor, Meg Hughes, Maggie Illig, Kaleigh McPherson, Bella Najera and Kaitlyn Parks – were named to All-Big Ten teams. Fourth-year MSU head coach Jeff Hosler has now advanced to 10 NCAA Tournaments across all three divisions in his 19-year career.

    Western Michigan, the 2024 Mid-American Conference regular season and tournament champions, are 13-1-6 (8-0-3 MAC) this season and will make their fourth overall NCAA Tournament appearance. Graduate forward Jen Blitchok ranks fourth in the NCAA in total goals this season with 17.

    First round matches will be played Nov. 15-17, while the second and third rounds will take place on Nov. 22 and Nov. 24, respectively.
