MLS News: Tani Oluwaseyi helps Minnesota extend unbeaten streak

0


Tani Oluwaseyi had a goal and two assists to help lead Minnesota United to a 4-1 victory over the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday night in Saint Paul, Minn.

Kelvin Yeboah, Anthony Markanich and Joseph Rosales also scored goals for Minnesota United (11-4-7, 40 points), which jumped out to a 3-0 first-half lead en route to extending its unbeaten streak to four games (3-0-1).

Dayne St. Clair made three saves for the Loons, who swept the regular-season series with the Earthquakes. Minnesota also won 1-0 at San Jose on March 8.

Defender Bruno Wilson scored a goal and Daniel finished with two saves for San Jose (7-8-7, 28 points), which lost for the first time in five MLS matches (1-1-3).

Minnesota took a 1-0 lead in the third minute on Oluwaseyi’s ninth goal of the season. The score came off a corner kick to Robin Lod on the left side of the 6-yard box. Lod then did a flick-on header down to Oluwaseyi stationed in front of the goal, where he swung a left-footed shot into the left side of the net.

The Loons extended the lead to 2-0 in the 42nd minute thanks to Oluwaseyi’s curling cross pass from the left end line to Yeboah, who headed it inside the far-right post for his seventh goal.

Minnesota made it 3-0 just before halftime when Markanich extended his goal streak to three games, blasting a right-footed rebound from the middle of the box into the top right corner for his fifth goal.

San Jose got on the board in the 70th minute on Wilson’s right-footed shot into the middle of the net off a Preston Judd header pass on a corner kick.

Rosales scored his first goal of the season in the 95th minute on a 2-on-1 break with Oluwaseyi, slicing in a right-footed shot from the middle of the box off Oluwaseyi’s crossing pass.

Mystics see opportunity in road game at Storm


After a win on Thursday against the A’ja Wilson-less Las Vegas Aces, the Washington Mystics have a chance to hold a winning record for the first time since May.

The Mystics are 10-10 as they prepare to visit the Seattle Storm on Sunday and could break .500 for the first time since they were 2-1 following a May 10 loss to the Golden State Valkyries.

Their latest win, 70-68 over Las Vegas, showed toughness.

The Mystics had only 27 points at halftime, before they notched 43 in the second half.

“We had to, at halftime, try to adjust a little bit of our looks, and get a little bit more movement,” Mystics head coach Sydney Johnson said. “And then kind of let those things that we thought might be there open up.”

With 3:45 remaining in the game, the Mystics trailed 66-58 before rattling off a 12-2 run to wrestle away the win.

Brittney Sykes, Washington’s leading scorer (17.5 points per game), had a return to form with 18 points. In her previous four games, the guard was averaging eight points a contest on sub-30-percent shooting from the field.

The team will need a similar showing from their go-to scorer, and likely a better start, against a solid Storm squad.

Seattle (13-8) holds opponents to the third-fewest points per game in the league (79.2). Offensively, the Storm are one of the most efficient offensive teams, ranking second in field goal percentage (45.6) and tied for third in three-point percentage (34.5).

Veteran guard Skylar Diggins helms the offense, pacing the squad with 18.2 points and 5.9 assists per game on a team-best 40.5 percent from 3-point range.

The Storm are unlikely to have a poor shooting night, though they have been shaky in their last five games.

Seattle went 3-2 in that span, but their losses were concerning. The Storm suffered an 84-57 rout on June 29 at the hands of the Valkyries and shot 27 percent from the field. On July 9, they were outscored 27-9 in the fourth quarter in a 93-83 loss to the woeful Connecticut Sun. Seattle was 3-of-14 shooting with six turnovers in the final quarter.

“I’m glad we were able to get another great competitive game,” Seattle forward Nneka Ogwumike said after the victory in the rematch. “We needed this type of game. We needed to be able to grind things out and we needed to be able to keep getting stops even if the shots aren’t going in.”

This is the first matchup between these two teams this season. The Storm went 3-1 against Washington last season.

MLS News: Sounders strike for three early goals, hold off Sporting KC

0


Albert Rusnak had a goal and an assist as the Seattle Sounders built a three-goal halftime lead and held on to defeat host Sporting Kansas City 3-2 on Saturday night.

Jordan Morris and Jesus Ferreira also scored for Seattle (9-6-6, 33 points), which extended its MLS unbeaten streak to three matches (2-0-1). Goalkeeper Andrew Thomas, filling in for the injured Stefan Frei (concussion), made seven saves.

Dejan Joveljic and Santiago Munoz scored on penalty kicks in the second half for Sporting K.C. (6-11-5, 23 points).

John Pulskamp made four stops for SKC, which had its three-match unbeaten streak (2-0-1) snapped.

Morris, making his first start since March 1 because of a pair of hamstring injuries, opened the scoring in the 15th minute. He sent a pass to Paul Rothrock on the left wing and sprinted toward the net, taking a cross and heading it into the upper left corner of the net from 5 yards out. It was Morris’ 100th career goal contribution in MLS play (70 goals, 30 assists).

Rusnak nearly doubled the advantage in the 19th minute, but his 18-yard shot was cleared off the goal line by SKC defender Jansen Miller.

Rusnak did make it 2-0 in the 27th minute, converting a penalty kick after a video review determined Sporting’s Daniel Salloi committed a handball in the 18-yard box. Rusnak put his kick into the right side of the net as Pulskamp lunged the wrong way.

The Sounders extended their lead to 3-0 on a counterattack deep in first-half stoppage time. Morris, Ferreira and Rusnak charged forward on a three-on-two rush. Ferreira and Rusnak executed a give-and-go in the penalty area, with Ferreira blasting a 7-yard shot past Pulskamp.

Joveljic drew a penalty kick in the 67th minute when he was tripped by Seattle’s Danny Musovski just inside the top of the 18-yard box. It was the eighth consecutive match in which Joveljic had either a goal or an assist.

Joveljic nearly pulled the hosts within a goal in the 73rd minute, but his rebound attempt was cleared off the goal line by Sounders defender Alex Roldan after Salloi hit the right post.

Munoz was tripped in the penalty area in second-half stoppage time and converted the kick to make it 3-2.

NCAAF News: Five-star TE recruit Kaiden Prothro stays in-state with Georgia


Georgia and head football coach Kirby Smart added to a vaunted recruiting haul for the Class of 2026 with the verbal commitment on Saturday from five-star tight end Kaiden Prothro.

The rising senior at Bowdon (Ga.) High School decided to stay in-state after making official visits to the Athens campus and his other finalists Florida and Texas as well as to Alabama and Auburn.

Listed at 6-foot-6 and 210 pounds, Prothro is ranked the No. 25 player in the country, the No. 3 tight end and the No. 3 player in Georgia, according to 247Sports’ composite rankings.

As a junior, Prothro primarily played wide receiver and caught 56 passes for 1,203 yards (21.5 yards per catch) and 22 touchdowns as Bowdon won its third consecutive state championship in Class A Division II.

He also played safety and is a standout baseball and basketball player.

Prothro said he was impressed with UGA assistant head coach/tight ends coach Todd Hartley and the players he has met.

“It was really just Coach Hartley breaking down the film and making me feel at home,” Prothro told DawgNation following his commitment ceremony. “As well as spending time with a bunch of the players and being around some of the tight ends in the room.”

Georgia has the No. 2 recruiting class for 2026, per 247Sports, with 29 commitments, including two five-star, 20 four-star and seven three-star recruits. UGA got its quarterback of the future in five-star Jared Curtis of Nashville Christian School. He is the No. 4 player, No. 1 QB and No. 1 player in Tennessee, per the 247Sports composite.

Sparks focused on better home-court outcome against Sun


Intent on shedding a six-game home losing streak, the Los Angeles Sparks will play host to the Connecticut Sun on Sunday, with the break for the All-Star Game fast approaching.

The Sparks (6-14) have not won on their home court since May 25, when they dispatched the Chicago Sky 91-78. There were hopes early on Thursday that the skid could be vanquished, but the Minnesota Lynx stepped up the pressure in a 91-82 victory.

The Sparks jumped out to an 11-point first-quarter lead but lost the advantage for good early in the second as they dropped to 2-7 since June 14. Kelsey Plum had a team-best 17 points with a season-high 12 assists.

In her first season with Los Angeles, Plum leads the team with 19.9 points per game.

In her third game with the Sparks, after nine with the Golden State Valkyries earlier this season, Julie Vanloo scored a season-high 15. Vanloo was waived by the Valkyries on July 1 and claimed by the Sparks two days later.

“(Plum) told me: ‘Shoot when you’re open (and) play with confidence,'” Vanloo said. “Shoutout to her. She gave me some great passes. I’m just ready to shoot and help the team where I can, and I can get hot really quick. That’s what I’m known for, and I’m happy I could do that today.”

The Sun (3-17) ended a franchise-worst 10-game losing streak with a 93-83 victory at home over the Seattle Storm on Wednesday. But the teams met again at Seattle on Friday and the Storm rebounded for a 79-65 victory.

Tina Charles had 20 points with 10 assists for Connecticut on Friday after she delivered 29 points with 11 rebounds in the victory earlier in the week. They were the second and third double-doubles of the season for the veteran of 16 WNBA seasons.

Charles also passed the 8,000-point plateau in the defeat, becoming the second to do so after the league’s all-time leading scorer Diana Taurasi. She has 8,010.

Sun rookie Saniya Rivers tied her season high with 12 points. Connecticut played its seventh consecutive game without second-leading scorer Marina Mabry (15.2 points), who has been out since June 20 with a knee injury.

“To collectively stay together is always harder on the road, but I like the progression that we made (Friday),” Charles said. “We had some empty possessions that we can clear up. Missed some defensive schemes here and there.”

MLS News: Idan Toklomati, Kerwin Vargas deliver for Charlotte over NYCFC

0


Idan Toklomati scored early and Kerwin Vargas tallied late as Charlotte FC came away with a 2-0 victory against visiting New York City FC on Saturday night, winning for the first time in their past five matches.

Goalkeeper Kristijan Kahlina made three saves for the clean sheet.

Charlotte (9-11-2, 29 points) won for the first time since May 31 at Toronto FC. Unlike a week earlier in a 2-2 draw with Orlando, Charlotte protected a two-goal lead.

New York City (9-8-4, 31 points) was playing in the first of four consecutive road matches. The team remained winless in matches in Charlotte.

Matthew Freese, who just returned from a stint with the U.S. national team at the CONCACAF Gold Cup, made one save for NYC.

Toklomati’s goal came in the 14th minute, assisted by Pep Biel. The pass from Biel on the left side connected with Toklomati, who was cutting toward the center of the goal mouth.

It was the 20-year-old Toklomati’s fourth goal of the season, with three coming in a four-match span.

The third goal of the season for Vargas snapped his five-match scoreless stretch, finishing by turning and firing a shot from just inside the top of the box for a 2-0 lead in the 81st minute. It was quite an individual effort before Vargas first controlled the ball and was denied on an initial shot before trying again and converting.

The start of the match was delayed for nearly 90 minutes because of weather concerns.

MLS News: Anders Dreyer brace helps San Diego FC hold off Chicago Fire

0


Anders Dreyer recorded a first-half brace, and Western Conference-leading San Diego FC withstood a late charge from the Chicago Fire to win their fourth consecutive road match 2-1 on Saturday night.

Dreyer struck eight minutes into the match and again in the third minute of first-half stoppage time to give expansion San Diego (13-6-3, 42 points) a seemingly nice cushion.

However, after putting together several prime scoring chances that were thwarted by San Diego goalkeeper Pablo Sisniega (three saves), making his first MLS start since 2023, the Fire (8-9-4, 28 points) were finally rewarded through Hugo Cuypers’ right-footer off an 87th-minute corner.

But Chicago, which held an 18-7 overall shot advantage and did not concede a corner on the night, couldn’t level the match and fell to 2-4-4 at home.

San Diego blocked seven Fire shots on the evening.

Making his San Diego debut, Sisniega was tested early — notably pushing Brian Gutierrez’s point-blank chance just over the bar in the fourth minute.

San Diego, though, didn’t miss its opportunity to open the scoring four minutes later as Luca Bombino made a brilliant half-box pass through traffic to an unmarked Dreyer, who had time to position up close and easily convert the goal.

Chicago had a pair of solid scoring chances later in the half, particularly on Gutierrez’s blocked attempt in the 24th minute and Cuypers’ quality look that sailed high in the 37th.

But again, the Fire’s inability to score further bit them after Dreyer beautifully one-timed Chucky Lozano’s cross in front of the net just before the first-half whistle for his 11th league goal in 2025.

Chicago threatened in the 50th minute, but another open Gutierrez attempt was blocked. Twenty minutes later, Sisniega successfully dislodged the ball from a streaking Gutierrez in a one-on-one scenario.

However, Sisniega’s most impressive save of the night came in the 84th minute, in reactionary fashion, by two-handing Cuypers’ point-blank header off a corner.

San Diego has outscored its opponents 14-8 during that four-match MLS road winning streak.

Challenging road stretch bites Lynx against Sky


The Chicago Sky held off a second-half surge by the visiting Minnesota Lynx on Saturday afternoon, and a 27-point performance by Ariel Atkins led the home squad to an 87-81 victory over the top team in the WNBA standings.

In her second game back from injury, and first back in the starting lineup, Chicago’s Kamilla Cardoso had 17 points and 15 rebounds while fellow big Angel Reese scored 19 points with 11 rebounds for the forward’s eighth double-double in a row.

The victory for the Sky (7-13) is their win over a team with a record above .500 in the 2025 regular season.

With 42.2 seconds remaining, Rachel Banham put the game out of reach for Chicago. While Minnesota (18-4) focused its defense on Cardoso and Reese, Banham exploited space inside and hit a running layup that put the Sky ahead by five points.

On the subsequent possession, Minnesota guard Courtney Williams went up for a 3-pointer on a defensive switch, but the 6-foot-7 Cardoso blocked the 5-foot-8 guard’s attempt and gave possession back to the Sky.

The Sky used their size throughout the game and outrebounded the Lynx 45-28 while scoring 16 more points in the paint.

Chicago led by as many as 15 points in the third quarter, but Minnesota trimmed it down to a six-point deficit at the end of the quarter. The Lynx cut it to a single possession when Napheesa Collier nailed an 11-foot jump shot a minute into the fourth.

Collier led the Lynx with 26 points, Kayla McBride scored 17, and Courtney Williams added 13. They were the only players on the Lynx roster to hit double digits in scoring while Minnesota’s bench combined for just 11 points.

Contributing to their trouble, the Lynx endured their third road game in four days and their seventh in 12 days to start July.

The two teams play in Chicago again on Monday night, the third game between the two teams in eight days.

MLS News: Columbus overcomes early deficit, rain delay to top FC Cincinnati

0


In a game that saw two substantial momentum swings, the Columbus Crew scored three unanswered goals in an 18-minute span to flip an early 2-0 deficit into a 4-2 road win over FC Cincinnati on Saturday night at TQL Stadium in Cincinnati.

Columbus (11-3-8, 41 points) scored two goals late in the first half, including one in the third minute of stoppage time, to tie the match 2-2 at halftime.

The Crew then took a 3-2 lead on an FC Cincinnati own goal in the 59th minute before adding a goal in stoppage time to ice the match.

After the match was delayed for 56 minutes due to severe weather, FC Cincinnati (13-6-3, 42 points) came roaring out of the gate to take command of the match. Midfielders Pavel Bucha and Evander both scored in the first five minutes to give Cincinnati an early 2-0 lead.

Evander’s goal was his 13th of the season and it tied an FC Cincinnati club record of four consecutive games with a goal. It was a right-footed shot from the right half-space outside of the box that had an expected goal percentage of just 4 percent.

Despite having little control of the match through the first 41 minutes, Columbus scored the next four goals to earn the three points.

The Crew’s All-Star forward, Diego Rossi, scored his 11th goal of the season with a right-footed shot from the center of the box to start Columbus’ comeback. Max Arfsten evened the game in the third minute of first-half stoppage with a goal that had a 2 percent chance of going in.

Things went from bad to worse for FC Cincinnati in the 59th minute when All-Star defender Miles Robinson scored an own goal to give Columbus a 3-2 lead.

FC Cincinnati had their chances to tie the match in the final 30 minutes, but Crew goalkeeper Patrick Schulte kept them off the scoreboard, making two saves.

Cincinnati goalkeeper Roman Celentano did not have a save and allowed all four Columbus goals.

Liberty looking for consecutive wins with visit from Dream


The reigning champion New York Liberty have not won consecutive games since they started this season 9-0.

Since that great start, they are just 4-6.

The Liberty will get another shot at a winning streak on Sunday afternoon when they host the Atlanta Dream.

New York is coming off an 87-78 win over visiting Las Vegas on Tuesday night. The Liberty got great performances from Sabrina Ionescu, Breanna Stewart and Leonie Fiebich.

Ionescu had game highs in points (28) and assists (eight). Stewart had 15 points, seven rebounds and five assists. And Fiebich, who had 15 points, had game highs in rebounds (nine) and blocks (three).

Kennedy Burke added 10 points and a game-high six steals.

“We were really active (on defense),” Ionescu said. “We upped the intensity.”

The Liberty won despite having three players out with injuries: Jonquel Jones (ankle), Natasha Cloud (hip) and Isabelle Harrison (knee).

For the season, Stewart is fourth in the league in scoring (19.6), and Ionescu ranks fifth (19.4). Ionescu also ranks second in made 3-pointers per game (2.6).

New York and Atlanta have split two games against each other this season, with each team winning on its home court.

The Dream, who finished 15-25 last season, are much improved so far this season at 12-8.

Allisha Gray is a big reason for Atlanta’s rise. The fourth overall pick in the 2017 draft, Gray was traded by Dallas to the Dream in January of 2023. Since that deal, Gray has become a three-time All-Star.

This year, Gray is having her best season, averaging 18.7 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.0 assists while making 41.6 percent of her 3-pointers.

She was named an All-Star Game starter — the first Dream player to earn that honor since 2018. And ESPN.com recently named her the favorite to earn the WNBA’s Most Improved Player award.

Gray, though, was held to six points on Friday in a 99-82 loss at Indiana.

“They were staying attached to her, making her work,” Dream coach Karl Smesko said of the defense on Gray. “They were double-teaming her.”

A highly regarded offensive coach from his days at Florida Gulf Coast, Smesko has made a difference. Last year, the Dream were last in the league in scoring. This year, they are third.

Rhyne Howard ranks second on the Dream with 16.5 points per game. Brionna Jones (13.6), Jordin Canada (10.5) and Brittney Griner (10.0) are also scoring in double figures.
