Malik Washington Finds Chris Durr Jr. for WILD 87-Yard TD to Extend Maryland's Lead Over Purdue

No. 16 MSU Men's soccer knocked out of Big Ten Tournament

After falling 3-2 to Indiana in its regular-season finale, Michigan State men's soccer needed a strong showing in the Big Ten Tournament to keep its postseason hopes alive. Instead, the Spartans' first-half lack of control ended their tournament run with a 2-1 loss to Maryland. The loss to Indiana dropped MSU to the No. 4 seed in the conference tournament. With an opportunity to advance to the semifinals, the Spartans struggled to find their footing against the fifth-seeded Terrapins. Maryland controlled possession early, but MSU pressed aggressively and looked to create opportunities through counterattacks. The Spartans struggled to connect passes and maintain possession as Maryland dictated much of the tempo. The Terrapins capitalized in the 33rd minute. Albi Ndrenika finished with his right foot into the bottom left corner after a heel flick opened up the opportunity. The game took an aggressive turn when junior defender Brandon Munson earned a red card. He shoved a Maryland player who was already on the ground. The referee sent off Munson for unsporting behavior, leaving the Spartans with 10 players for the final 51 minutes. The physicality was particularly striking for Maryland, which entered the quarterfinals having committed the fewest fouls per game

Socialist mayors to lead LA, D.C., NYC, Seattle as Trump warns of ‘disaster’

(The Center Square) – Democratic Socialists will now lead America’s two most populous cities and the nation’s capital, raising questions over the Democratic Socialist of America platform. More than 14 million people will live under the leadership of Democratic Socialist mayors in a handful of American cities. Nithya Raman was elected mayor of Los Angeles and Janeese Lewis George was elected to lead Washington, D.C. in Tuesday’s elections, both mayor-elects are Democratic Socialists. Upon being sworn in, Raman and Lewis George will join New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson in leading major metropolises, leading critics to be concerned about how their socialist agendas will impact the cities they lead. A lot of eyes will likely be on LA, as the city is set to host the 2028 Summer Olympics, with thousands of people from around the world set to descend on the California city, plagued with a massive homeless problem. President Donald Trump was asked about the latest round of socialist candidates leading the major cities in the Oval Office. The president warned that “it’s going to be a disaster.” He added that the socialist policies “are very tough,” emphasizing, “they’re very tough on a

St. John's dominates Gonzaga 44-3 in century-old high school rivalry

When talking about the St. John’s College High vs. Gonzaga College High rivalry , fans brought up a few comparisons: Michigan vs. Ohio State. Auburn vs. Alabama. USC vs. Notre Dame. That’s a tall order for a high school football game. But on a sunny fall afternoon in Washington, D.C., the atmosphere at St. John’s' packed Fernandez Stadium sure delivered. This year’s iteration may not have quite replicated the often-tight competition of its college football comparisons – St. John’s took down the Eagles 44-3 – but that didn’t touch the rowdy enthusiasm of either fan base in the sold-out crowd. St. John’s students hung sheets painted with “Birds Aren’t Real” and “Beat Gonzaga” (with all the Gs ex-ed out, of course), while Gonzaga kept up their chants of “God is Purple” all the way until the blowout’s final seconds. More: This weekend, DC has a different century-spanning power struggle: St John's vs Gonzaga There were some extra bragging rights on the line during this 106th meeting of the legendary D.C. rivalry – heading in, the all-time series record was knotted up at 50-50-5. After back-to-back Gonzaga victories in 2024 and 2025, the Cadets’ dominant revenge victory puts them back on
