Aussie Footy Stars Welcome Baby — and more

Australian football stars Charlotte Caslick and Lewis Holland have announced the arrival of their baby with a heartwarming three-word message. The couple's big announcement was met with congratulations from some of the biggest names in the Australian footing community.

Brody King's vocal stance against the United States' Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has inspired the professional wrestling community to speak their mind. While King has been blocked from television over such chants, the momentum persists. "F*** ICE" chants have migrated from AEW to the United States independent circuit, as AEW World Champion MJF quickly learned at House of Glory (HOG) Wrestling's recent New York show.

The New York crowd was on their feet in the beginning moments of MJF and Zilla Fatu's match at "HOG: No Turning Back," but not in anticipation of their main event. Fists flew in the air as "f*** ICE" chants flooded the venue. MJF looked skeptically outside of the ring as Fatu's gaze surveyed the crowd. While the two men eventually locked up, the crowd's chants were the story of the night, as Fightful Wrestling's clip of the event has garnered over 145,000 views as of writing.

While anti-ICE sentiment has spread through the professional wrestling business like wildfire, with notable stars like King and Becky Lynch taking shots at the controversial organization, some fans are not on board. Most netizens underneath Fightful Wrestling's post were unsympathetic to the crowd and their rally cry, with reactions ranging from dismissive to critical, especially towards HOG, who, one netizen implied, was responsible for their crowd's political statement. King was not present at "No Turning Back;" whether the chants were directed towards MJF, King's most recent opponent, or at the greater American political crisis are unclear.

King, who many credit as a driving force behind the slogan within professional wrestling, has not commented on the situation. He has, however, doubled down on his statements, having recently reposted John Oliver's coverage of the phenomenon, as well as a piece of fanart depicting him crushing an ICE agent's head.

The No. 5 UConn Huskies entered a packed Xfinity Mobile Arena on Saturday night and caught a battle early but left with a big win, 73-63, to improve to 25-3 and 15-2 in the Big East. The Huskies responded nicely to their home loss at Creighton and snapped a six-game Wildcats’ winning streak that started after their last game against UConn.

​Alex Karaban led the way with 12 points and 6 rebounds. Tarris Reed added 10 points and 6 boards and Braylon Mullins chipped in with 10 points despite fouling out.

UConn held Davis Brennan, averaging a double-double this season, to just 7 points and 3 rebounds, with his first points coming in garbage time in the 2nd half. Huge credit to Reed and Eric Reibe for locking up Villanova’s leader all night. They also held star point guard Acaden Lewis, who had 11 points in the first half, scoreless in the second.

The Huskies were revealed to be a 2 seed by the NCAA selection committee on Saturday afternoon, and maybe they took that personally. They routed Villanova in the second half, leading by as much as 21 points before a garbage-time run made the final score closer.

The first five minutes of the contest were an offensive barrage on both sides. UConn made six of its first seven shots. Silas Demary got going early, burying his first triple. Tyler Perkins got off to a white-hot start for Villanova, scoring their first eight points.

The Huskies gained momentum midway through the first half, led by their defense. Jayden Ross picked up a block and Malachi Smith finished on the other end. Two possessions later, Jaylin Stewart picked Devin Askew’s pocket, and Solo Ball slammed it home to put UConn up 5, forcing Kevin Willard to call a timeout.

The Wildcats responded rather quickly, and the fans were starting to get rowdy. UConn turned the ball over five times in six minutes, and Villanova capitalized on it, scoring 10 points off Husky turnovers. An and-one from Matt Hodge put them back in the lead.

As the Wildcats were on offense, the student section let Dan Hurley know what they thought about him. The “F— Dan Hurley!” chants are usual when UConn is on the road in the Big East.  

Dan Hurley called a timeout with four and a half minutes to go in the first half, and from there on ou UConn turned up their defense and were able to hold onto the ball. Demary hit a big mid-range jumper, and Braylon Mullins got on the board from downtown.

UConn went into the halftime locker room with a 34-32 lead despite shooting 58% from the field.

“[It’s] just the turnovers, most of which are unforced, or else we’d be up double figures,” Hurley said at halftime.

UConn looked like a different team when the second half began, going on a 10-2 run, with Mullins and Ball leading the charge with a three, and Tarris Reed a beast down low. Reed got anywhere he wanted once he was fed the ball in the low post.

The Huskies held Villanova to just four points in the first five and a half minutes, and they made their first field goal with 14:35 to play.

Villanova was able to gain some momentum when Reed checked out. After a timeout, the bench unit of Smith, Ross, Stewart, Mullins, and Reibe was able to throw the knockout punch. They went up 15 from a pair of Stewart threes, and a sweet coast-to-coast finish by Smith sucked the life out of the building.

The defense in the second half was night and day compared to the first half. Whatever Hurley said in the locker room at the half clearly worked. The team finished with 8 blocks, 3 coming from Reed. Reed has been a monster all season, and he’s getting hot at the right time.

UConn was able to handle Villanova for the remainder of the game; the Wildcats scored a handful of garbage-time points to make the score look a bit respectable.

UConn is back in action on Wednesday night against No. 22 St. John’s. This is arguably the game of the year for the Huskies. A win would give UConn sole possession of first place in the Big East. Tipoff is set for 7:00 p.m. on Peacock.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Rondale Moore died on Saturday, according to The Athletic's Dianna Russini and Fox 9's Ahmad Hicks. He was 25 years old.

Louisville head coach Jeff Brohm, who coached Moore at Purdue, released a statement fondly remembering his former player.

The DeMarini Invitational was supposed to include five games between teams in the top 15 and matchups against Boise State and Santa Clara against those teams, all played at Stanford’s new softball field. The five top 15 matchups were or will be played at Stanford, but the No. 15 Arizona Wildcats started the tournament against Boise State at West Valley College. On Saturday, they faced No. 12 Stanford on its home field then drove to Santa Clara to play the second group of Broncos.

No. 15 Arizona Wildcats def. No. 12 Stanford Cardinal 4-1

It was a homecoming and reunion with friends and family for multiple Arizona Wildcats. It was also a 4-1 win against the No. 12 Stanford Cardinal for the visitors, giving them their second top 15* win of the season.

Arizona assistant coach Lauren Lappin returned to her alma mater. Sydney Stewart, Tayler Biehl, and Grace Jenkins are all from the Bay Area or the Sacramento metro. Starting pitcher Rylie Holder faced off against former travel teammate and former Arizona commit, Addyson Sheppard. Right-handed pitcher Jenae Berry saw her sister Jade in the opposing lineup.

The home team jumped out to an early lead in one of those reunion moments. Sheppard’s one-out home run off her former teammate put the Cardinal up 1-0 in the bottom of the second.

Holder had a strong outing, allowing just that run in 6.0 innings pitched. She came out to complete the game in the seventh but was relieved by senior Jalen Adams with two in scoring position and no outs.

Holder surrendered six hits and one walk while striking out one. She improved to 3-0 with the win. Adams picked up her first save as a Wildcat, sitting down all three batters she faced with one strikeout.

Arizona batters had difficulty solving Stanford starter Zoe Prystajko for most of the game. Prystajko threw a complete one-hit game but that hit was a big one. She walked three. She also had two wild pitches and an error behind her that helped Arizona tack on runs.

The Wildcats’ first run came immediately after the Cardinal scored. Kiki Escobar came in to pinch hit for third baseman Jenna Sniffen and drew the leadoff walk. She advanced to second on a wild pitch with Addison Duke at the plate. Escobar then advanced on another wild pitch. A groundout from Regan Shockey tied the game.

Holder bounced back from the homer in the second by dismissing Stanford in order in the bottom of the third. She ended the inning with her only strikeout of the game.

Arizona finally got the big swing it needed in the top of the sixth. Duke reached on an error to lead off the inning. Biehl’s two-out walk put two on in front of Jenkins. Jenkins deposited the 1-2 pitch over the right-field wall to give Arizona a three-run lead.

The ‘Cats needed six outs to pick up their second ranked win and first true road win of the season. Holder gave up a one-out single to former teammate Sheppard but that was it for the sixth.

The seventh was more complicated. An error by Biehl let the leadoff reach. Then, a double put two in scoring position with no outs. That’s when Adams came in and closed the door.

*This site uses the NFCA poll as the official poll. Stanford is ranked No. 10 in the USA Softball poll and Arizona is ranked No. 16, giving the Wildcats their second top 10 win according to that poll.

No. 15 Arizona Wildcats def. Santa Clara Broncos 11-1

Arizona’s second game had been moved to nearby Santa Clara University where the Wildcats would play their second true road game of the season. This one also went the full seven innings, but a huge seventh by the visitors gave them the 11-1 win.

Adams started the game after getting the save in the early contest at Stanford. She picked up her seventh win of the season with 4.0 innings of three-hit ball. She allowed one earned run and struck out two. She struggled with walks and hit batters in start against No. 3 Texas on Friday, but she got that under control and hit just one batter on Saturday afternoon.

Sophomore pitcher Sarah Wright got the save on 3.0 innings on two-hit ball. She walked one and struck out three. It was her second save of the season.

Sophomore infielders Trice and Sniffen came up big with runners on base. Sniffen led the team with four RBI. Trice was just behind her with three. As a group, the Wildcats scored their 11 runs on 10 RBI

The sophomores were also responsible for all three of Arizona’s multi-hit games. Trice (3), Sniffen (2), and Emma Kavanagh (2) all put the bat on the ball multiple times. Trice went 4 for 3 and drew a walk to get on base four times.

Sniffen and Kavanagh were responsible for two of Arizona’s three extra-base hits. The duo both hit doubles. They were joined by pinch hitter Tele Jennings.

The Wildcats loaded the bases with one out in the top of the first. Stewart was the second walk of the inning, and she forced a run in. A groundout by Kez Lucas drove in Trice for the second run of the inning.

Adams started well with a groundout, a flyout, and a strikeout in the first. Things got more complicated with each inning. A hit batter gave the Broncos a baserunner to lead off the bottom of the second, but Adams got out of it without any damage.

The third started with a bunt single for the first SCU hit of the game. This time, Adams couldn’t keep the run from scoring. A two-out double to right field drove in the Broncos’ run, and a passed ball allowed the runner to move up to third. Adams slammed the door there.

Arizona responded by tacking on three runs in the top of the fourth. Lucas led off with a walk, then Kavanagh put two in scoring position with her double. Sniffen’s single pushed both of those runs across.

Pinch runner Molli Daley used her speed and some Bronco mishaps to advance to third on a groundout and a wild pitch. Trice’s single scored Daley from third for the third run of the inning.

Arizona’s 5-1 lead held as both sets of pitchers threw up zeroes until the top of the seventh.

Biehl got the Wildcats’ final offensive half-inning going with a triple and scored on another wild pitch.

Sniffen stepped into the box with two on and two out. She kept the numerical run going with a two-bagger to score two more runs. Duke drove Sniffen in for another two-out run, then Trice came through with another two-RBI hit.

The Broncos tried to get some of the runs back in the bottom of the seventh. They got two on with one out, but Wright closed things down to secure a 2-0 day in the Bay Area for Arizona.

The Wildcats will play Texas again at 11 a.m. MST. While the game will not be streamed, Texas will have a radio broadcast that is available at https://texas.leanplayer.com/
