CHICAGO — Alyssa Naeher, one of the greatest goalkeepers ever, is calling it a career. The 38-year-old announced her retirement Friday, Nov. 13, after 17 seasons in club soccer, the last 11 of which were with the Chicago Stars. Naeher had retired from the U.S. women's national team in 2024 , after helping the U.S. women win the gold medal at the Paris Olympics. "It's hard to put the last 17 years into words," she said in an Instgram post . "I've given everything I have to this game, and it's given me memories and experiences that I will never forget." View this post on Instagram Naeher retires as the NWSL's leader in career saves (765), appearances by a goalkeeper (224) and goalkeeper wins (74), and is second all-time with 50 clean sheets. She was the NWSL's Goalkeeper of the Year in 2014, and also earned Best XI honors. Naeher was an anchor on Chicago teams that made the playoffs six consecutive seasons from 2016 to 2022, including playing for the title in 2019 and 2021.

Oshkosh North's Awut Alic signs to play basketball at DePaul University

OSHKOSH – Oshkosh North senior Awut Alic sat in front of future Oshkosh North girls basketball players on "Meet the Spartans night" where the varsity team meets and interacts with girls from the youth program. But it also was a special night for Alic who accomplished a goal she's been working towards since she was like one of those girls in attendance. "It's pretty exciting just to see how much I accomplished and just to be celebrated a little. It still hasn't hit me," Alic said. "I'm just thankful for everybody who came out to watch me sign." On Thursday, Nov. 12, Alic signed to play Division I basketball at DePaul University. She committed to DePaul on July 28. She chose DePaul over Butler, Illinois State, Murray State and Northern Illinois who were all in her top five. "That was always the goal when I was younger. I always dreamed of playing Division I basketball," Alic said. She's the second Oshkosh North girls basketball player to sign to play women's basketball at the Division I level. The first was Lori McGinnis (formerly Goerlitz) who played at Marquette University and was the 1991 Wisconsin Ms. Basketball. More: North Fond du Lac’s

National analysts rave after KU routs Kentucky, Stokes looks like No. 1 pick

Kansas men’s basketball drew national rave reviews for its 89-69 rout of Kentucky on Tuesday night at Chicago’s United Center. The Jayhawks’ domination of the Wildcats stood out to many who watched the one-day doubleheader (Michigan State beat Duke 79-73 in the opener) that for 16 years has served as the premier early-season showcase in college basketball. Kansas, now 3-0, looked polished and connected on both ends, prompting widespread praise for a group that appears to have a higher ceiling than recent Jayhawk teams. Here’s a sampling of postgame comments about KU, which next will meet UNLV at 8:30 p.m. Central on Tuesday in the Players Era Eight tourney in Las Vegas. Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports and 247Sports wrote: “The Jayhawks — who had 24 assists on 32 made field goals — look like a Big 12 title contender and potential Final Four team. Kentucky does not. “Kansas was awesome. The Wildcats were not. Lots and lots of work ahead in Lexington. Kansas looked completely in sync on both sides of the floor. Prized freshman Tyran Stokes was beyond impressive with 23 points, 10 rebounds, and four assists while veteran wing Tre White dropped 30 . Purdue transfer Trey

CHICAGO — Fueled by a critical run of 12 straight points early in the second half, the 15th-ranked Kansas men’s basketball team defeated No. 24 Kentucky in resounding fashion, 89-69, on Tuesday night in the Champions Classic.

Facing the primary recruiting rival he spurned in favor of KU, freshman forward Tyran Stokes did a bit of everything for the Jayhawks and came away with 23 points and 10 rebounds for a double-double. White was KU’s leading scorer with a career-high 30 points and added six boards of his own, and Trey Kaufman-Renn chipped in 12 points, six rebounds and six assists for the Jayhawks.
