UCLA, still unbeaten and ranked No. 5, hits the road to face a Minnesota team in full big-game mode

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Field storms became the norm last month at Minnesota, where upsets fervently returned two long-absent rivalry trophies to campus. The unbeaten UCLA Bruins and their ball-hawking defense are coming this week to try to keep Gophers fans safely in the stands. Fifth in the latest Associated Press poll and eighth in the first edition of the College Football Playoff rankings , UCLA entered the final third of the schedule as one of three FBS teams left without a loss in this remarkable turnaround in coach Bob Chesney's debut . After leading James Madison to a playoff berth in just the program's fourth year at the NCAA's top level, Chesney has confidently and energetically taken his acumen from one coast to the other with a sizeable contingent of assistants and players joining him on the journey. But for all they've done to revive the Rose Bowl during this storybook regular season, the hardest part for the Bruins remains. “I told them the two most meaningless statistics in all of college sports is the score at halftime and your record going into November. November is obviously what matters,” Chesney said. "When you’re 8-0, that doesn’t mean that you relax.

Crimson boys soccer loses in heartbreaker at state

As the favored seed in the state tournament quarterfinals, Maple Grove boys soccer had a tough task on its hand. Familiar foe St. Paul Central was the first-round opponent on Oct. 29. The two teams had met in the season, and the Crimson survived a 5-3 slugfest. This time, the Minutemen won and ended the Crimson's season in penalty kicks. The first half started exactly how the Crimson drew it up. In the first 10 minutes, star senior midfielder Parker Carlson managed to control a bouncing ball on the Minutemen side of the field. Carlson made a couple moves and fired a through pass between a flurry of Minutemen defenders. Fellow senior and captain Bodi Nelson took the pass and rifled a perfect left footed shot past the goalkeeper into the back of the net. The Crimson now played with the lead, but both teams would continue to find offensive opportunities. The Minutemen had a few shots or drive in close to the goal that goalkeeper Raidyn Bailey stopped. The best play of the game from Bailey came near the end of the first half. Leading 1-0, a cross came into the box and a header directed at the ground

Jurkovich powers Rangers past Edina

Senior running back Mack Jurkovich ran for three touchdowns as Forest Lake defeated Edina 35-21 at home on Friday, Oct. 30 to open the playoffs. The victory gives the Rangers another chance to clear the hurdle that has kept them out of the state tournament. Forest Lake has reached the state-qualifying game four times and has lost all four. The second-seeded Rangers, now 7-2, will get their next opportunity when they host third-seeded Eagan at 7 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 6. The previous losses have come under different circumstances, head coach Brad Beeskow said, including games on the road. This time, the Rangers will try to break through at home against an Eagan team that also enters at 7-2 after beating Rogers 37-16 in the opening round. “We know that we got a whole week of practice here that we got to really get after to go beat a good team and go to the state tournament by winning that game on Friday,” Beeskow said. He said the seniors have been working toward this opportunity for a long time, with preparation extending back to June and earlier. Sophomores and juniors have helped put them in position to take the next

Becker girls soccer stopped cold in first trip to state semifinals

MINNEAPOLIS — After a historic season highlighted by the extraordinary play of sister Adele and Andersyn Changamire — resetting the MSHSL benchmark for goals (66 by Adele) and assists (33 from Andersyn) in a single season — the Becker girls soccer team fell 6-0 to Academy of Holy Angels in the MSHSL Class 2A state semifinals on Thursday, Nov. 5. The Stars dominated the possession early and often at U.S. Bank Stadium, taking a 2-0 lead into halftime after living in the Bulldogs’ half of the field. More: Sartell boys soccer loses OT heartbreaker in state semis More: Sartell's 'great season' falls short in Class 2A State Quarterfinals Coming out of the lockers, Holy Angels quickly poured on three more goals as senior Emma Danberry secured a hat trick to secure another trip to the state championship game. “We felt like we were in it,” coach Arnold Changamire said. “Even though we conceded goals, I felt like we defended them better in the second half because we just kept attacking the ball.” Holding a 66-goal scorer to few looks at the net is a hard feat to accomplish, but it is something the Stars have done time and time again

Crimson cross country ends Mounds View's reign

The last few seasons Maple Grove boys cross country head coach Sean Heaton and Maple Grove girls cross country head coach Hannah Hempe changed things up. With a talented and young team getting stronger every year, the two co-head coaches started talking about winning and what that would look like. The Oct. 29th section meet was what it looks like. Both Crimson cross-country teams won the section meet, advancing their whole teams to state and knocking off longtime defending champions Mounds View. "For a lot of other coaches in the section, other coaches in the state it might be a bit of a surprise," Heaton said. "For us it's been just a very linear progression going forward. We're finally there, we've arrived and we plan to be around for a while." Heaton is listed as the coach of the boys team, who showed out with three of the top four times in the race. Senior Lucas Capistrant led those Crimson runners, winning the event with a time of 15:20.3 Junior Logan Knutson finished in third place in the event with a time of 15:54.5 and just behind him was sophomore Liam Mckessock with a time of 15:54.6 in fourth place,

Royals football season ends in loss to Eagan

Rogers football finished its regular season against Eagan on Oct. 30 and had a chance at instant revenge after losing their last game. The Royals couldn't deliver, ending their season in the first round of the state tournament. The Royals lost to the Wildcats 37-16 in the round of 32 as the underdog. The Royals got a six seed after a 1-7 regular season while the Wildcats got a three seed. After going down early the week before, the Royals started the game better this time around. The Royals scored the first and only first quarter touchdown on a 17-yard Aiden Kangas run. Tommy Jameson became a thorn in the Royals side starting in the second quarter. He first ran in a three-yard score with 2:12 left in the second quarter and a quick stop gave the Wildcats a chance to take the lead. With 10 seconds left in the half, Parker West hit Jameson for a 10-yard touchdown to take a 14-7 lead. The Royals tied it up in the second half right away thanks to a 52-yard catch and run from Derrick Harris to Andres Cardenas. The extra point tied the game, and the Royals were in business

Saari takes fourth as Rangers close state tennis run

Forest Lake senior Lucy Saari avenged a loss from last year’s state tournament, then took the eventual champion through a three-hour, eight-minute semifinal before finishing fourth in Class AAA state individual singles tournament, which was held at the Baseline Tennis Center on the University of Minnesota campus on Thursday and Friday, Oct. 29-30. The fifth-seeded Saari won two matches to reach the final four, including a comeback against fourth-seeded senior Olivia McDonald of Minneapolis Washburn. Saari’s individual finish followed a team tournament in which the Forest Lake Rangers girls tennis team reached the fifth-place match. Saari opened individual play on Oct. 29 with a 6-1, 6-1 victory over Eagan sophomore Brynn Gleason. The quarterfinal against McDonald required more than two hours and three sets. After losing the opening set 6-3, Saari took the second 7-5 and the deciding set 6-2. “She was crazy good, I mean, just some of the stuff she did was amazing,” coach Violet Shortly said of Saari. Shortly said Saari needed to keep the ball deeper against McDonald, who was dictating points when Saari left it short. Pushing McDonald off the baseline helped Saari take control of the match, she said. “Once we got her to
