EUGENE, Ore. — Oregon had gone an entire season without conceding a goal in the run of play. Rutgers needed four minutes and eleven seconds of the second half.
Amanda Thornton scored from the middle of the box off her right foot at 49:11, and that was the match. Rutgers beat Oregon 1-0 on Thursday at Papé Field in front of 673 to open Big Ten play with a win, and it did it while being outshot 20-16, out-cornered 8-1 and outshot on target 10-3. Olivia Bodmer made eleven saves and did not concede. Thornton's goal was the only shot Rutgers put on target in the second half.
Rutgers arrived at 1-1-3 with a week's rest and its first win of the season in the books, a 4-2 win over Princeton at Yurcak Field on Sept. 6 in which the Scarlet Knights surrendered the lead twice and won anyway. Lilia Calvert scored twice in four minutes after the 80th, the first two goals of her college career, on the only two shots she took. Ashley Baran and Sophia Stiles had the others. Three of the four goals came after the 70th minute, the stretch of the game this team could not survive eight days earlier against Providence. For the conference slate, Rutgers was picked 15th of 18 in the Big Ten preseason poll after missing the NCAA tournament last season for the first time since 2011.
Oregon was picked 18th, and arrived at 5-0-1.
The Ducks went unbeaten through nonconference play for only the second time since 1981, opened with their best six-game start since the 2016 team also went 5-0-1, and scored 17 goals, the program's most through six matches in 45 years. They had conceded one, a third-minute penalty at Santa Clara on Aug. 20, and nothing since. Their 0.17 goals-against average led the Big Ten and ranked seventh nationally. Five shutouts in the first six matches is something one other Oregon team has done, in 2011. Dating to last season they were unbeaten in eight (6-0-2). They had outshot opponents 108-49, and they had never conceded a second-half goal.

PISCATAWAY, N.J. — Remember the name Lilia Calvert, she's made her arrival, and she's not going anywhere.
Rutgers beat Princeton 4-2 on Sunday at Yurcak Field, and the freshman who gave away the penalty that let the Tigers back into the match in the first half scored twice in four minutes to end it in the second. Both were the first goals of her college career. Both came on the only two shots she took all night. In between, she was pulled off the field twice.
Rutgers arrived at 0-1-3, four matches into a season that has produced a shot profile better than its record and nothing in the win column to show for either. The Scarlet Knights had led Providence by two with half an hour left eight days earlier and gave the lead back inside 69 seconds. Before that came two scoreless road draws and an opening loss at Tennessee. This was the second home match Rutgers has actually played this fall, with the Boston College opener still unscheduled after the weather took it.
Princeton came in at 2-3-0 and with considerably more to lose. The Tigers were picked first in the Ivy League preseason poll after winning a second straight Ivy **** le in 2025, opened the season 3-0 over Loyola (Md.), and were playing their second match in four days following a trip to Columbus to face No. 8 Ohio State. Sean Driscoll, in his 12th season, had platooned Cecilia Cerone and Sydney Romano in goal through the nonconference schedule and gotten two shutouts out of the arrangement. Cerone played all 90 on Sunday and conceded four.

When it comes to scheduling, Siena men's basketball coach Nevada Smith isn't playing it safe in his first season.
The Saints on Thursday announced a nonleague schedule that includes guarantee games at Dayton of the Atlantic 10 on Nov. 10 and Big East members St. John's on Nov. 18 and Seton Hall on Nov. 28.
"Love it," Smith said. "We've got monster games on it. We have no bad teams. Our strength of schedule's going to be high. The three buy games are awesome for us."
With Thursday's announcement, Siena completed its 32-game 2026-27 schedule. The Metro Conference announced the 20-game league schedule earlier this month. The NCAA approved an increase from 31 to 32 regular-season games for the upcoming season.
As previously reported, Siena will open the regular season at Bryant Nov. 2. Then, the Saints will play their home opener against traditional Ivy League power Princeton on Nov. 8 at MVP Arena. The Tigers are coming off a rare bad year at 9-20.

For most of Andrei Iosivas' NFL career, there has been something to prove: Prove that a wide receiver from Princeton could play in the NFL; prove that a sixth-round draft pick belonged on the field with Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins; and prove that his rare combination of size and athleticism could translate into production against NFL defensive backs.
Three years into his career with the Cincinnati Bengals, Iosivas doesn't sound particularly interested in proving anything anymore. And that may be the best indication yet of how far he's come.
"I just feel like I am flowing and I am playing," Iosivas said in a recent interview. "I'm happy about the way I approach the days. I've been focusing on how I walk into the building, how I get out to practice, and whatever happens, happens."
That's quite a change from the player Cincinnati selected with the 206th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Iosivas arrived in Cincinnati as one of the more intriguing developmental prospects in that draft class. At 6-foot-3 and around 210 pounds, he had the physical traits, but he was making the jump from Ivy League football at Princeton to an offense featuring Joe Burrow, Chase and Higgins.
He has spent the past three seasons showing that he belongs. Iosivas played in 16 games as a rookie and caught 15 passes for 116 yards. Four of those 15 receptions went for touchdowns. His role grew substantially in 2024, when he caught 36 passes for 479 yards and six touchdowns. He followed that with 33 receptions for 435 yards and two scores in 2025.

The biggest question CBS Sports had to answer at its media days on Tuesday was asked and answered in under three minutes.
After acknowledging the Tony Romo-sized elephant in the room, the network was forced to explain the down-ballot impact on the rest of its broadcast booths, with J.J. Watt being promoted to the lead booth alongside Jim Nantz and Tracy Wolfson after the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback was placed on indefinite leave following an OWI arrest.
If there's a silver lining, it's that Ian Eagle doesn't really have a type. He's called games with Dan Fouts, Charles Davis and now Watt at CBS, on top of a rotating cast of NBA and college basketball partners over the years, and he just tends to make whoever's next to him sound better. Watt basically said as much heading into this past season, giving Eagle the credit for chemistry that helped the two of them crack the top five of Awful Announcing's 2025 NFL announcer rankings. That flexibility is CBS's biggest ****** et here. This isn't a booth that lives or dies on one specific pairing.
CBS has elected to pair Eagle with Ross Tucker and Evan Washburn, as the two have done many Thursday Night Football broadcasts together on Westwood One before "The Bird" departed that role following the 2024 season. Initially, Tucker was seen as having "a pretty good chance" to fill the open spot alongside Andrew Catalon in the fourth booth, but Romo's arrest seems to have changed that calculus.
Tucker has been a fixture in CBS's NFL rotation since the 2023 season, regularly working alongside Tom McCarthy as part of the network's sixth broadcast crew. He also calls college football for CBS and handles radio duties for Westwood One's Thursday Night Football coverage, rotating with Devin McCourty alongside Kevin Kugler. The Princeton alum and former offensive lineman also hosts the Ross Tucker Football Podcast for DraftKings and calls Philadelphia Eagles preseason games on local television.

Stocks that have climbed in the early weeks of training camp shouldn't be overlooked. The belittling of excelling in Oxnard because Kaiir Elam and others like him did well before regular-season flopping isn't fair.
There are plenty of times players look great and go on to have great seasons, building on camp momentum. Antwaun Woods was battling with Travis Frederick in training camp, and even though Frederick retired from the NFL, Woods took that confidence and ended up as a starter for Dallas. It's a story as old as time.
The Dallas Cowboys are looking for consistency in play; a drumbeat. Show up, make plays, outperform others on special teams or in their position groups, and try to be impactful to the coaches. On offense, the Cowboys have three clear needs to fill: tight end, offensive tackle, and explosive rushing option, and these options are rising their stocks early on in camp.
Trigg has made some nice receptions in camp, but that's what was expected based on his highlight reels from Baylor. What's truly raising his stock is his better-than-expected run blocking, along with the thinning out of competition, namely Princeton Fant's ACL injury. Luke Schoonmaker is still clearly TE3 due to special teams ability, but if Trigg continues to look like a better option on offense, the team could find a way to keep him on the roster.
The Guyton worry has shifted in Year 3 from "can he play?" to will he play. When Guyton is on the field, he performs well enough to be a solid starting left tackle. Guyton unfortunately can't be trusted to be on the field daily.

Following an ACL injury sustained by TE Princeton Fant during training camp on Monday, the Dallas Cowboys have claimed former 2023 7th-round pick Zack Kuntz, who was recently let go by the Las Vegas Raiders.
Kuntz, drafted by the New York Jets out of Old Dominion, has spent three seasons in the NFL. He was on the Jets' practice squad in 2023 and 2024, and signed a future contract with the Miami Dolphins in 2026, but was released in early May. He then joined the Raiders on July 31, only to be released a few days later. To date, Kuntz has not recorded a catch in the regular season, but here's a scouting report of what he brings to the table as the coaches try to elicit better results than other teams have realized.
Height: 6-foot-7 3/8"
Weight: 255 pounds
Arm Length: 34"

One of the most important tenets of building out a roster is to know the store you're shopping at. NFL clubs need to nail their draft picks, guess right on scheme fits in big-money free agency and trade the right amount of capital when swinging deals. One of the unsung parts of talent acquisition though is knowing which aisles to walk down when looking for those red dot specials.
Most folks wouldn't consider the Las Vegas Raiders a factory for talent. Grabbing cast offs from there is often a fruitless exercise, and that can be viewed with the recen release of DE Charles Snowden, who was suspended for thiree games to start the season before training camp began. The team has since released him. But the Raiders do have one area of their team worth paying attention to; the tight end position. On Thursday, the Dallas Cowboys grabbed a former member of that group to augment their own summer trials, claiming Zack Kuntz off of waivers.
Now make no mistake, Kuntz is an extreme long shot to latch on with Dallas. But the circumstances of moving Princeton Fant to IR after he tore his ACL, opened up a spot at the back end of the positional depth chart while the team works in Oxnard, CA.
And if a team is going to claim a released tight end, getting one from a team that employs one of the best TEs in football in Brock Bowers, plus former second-round pick Michael Mayer.
Kuntz isn't that, but replacing TE4 or TE5 on the depth chart with a player from a club that has a pretty good track record of picking the position makes a ton of sense.

Most folks wouldn't consider the Las Vegas Raiders a factory for talent. Grabbing cast offs from there is often a fruitless exercise, and that can be viewed with the recen release of DE Charles Snowden, who was suspended for thiree games to start the season before training camp began. The team has since released him. But the Raiders do have one area of their team worth paying attention to; the tight end position. On Thursday, the Dallas Cowboys grabbed a former member of that group to augment their own summer trials, claiming Zack Kuntz off of waivers.

Cowboys tight end Princeton Fant was carted off from Monday's practice after an apparent left knee injury.
Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News reports Fant was scheduled for an MRI to determine the extent of the injury.
The Cowboys also have Jake Ferguson, Brevyn Spann-Ford and Luke Schoonmaker at the position.
Fant took a knee-to-knee hit after being blocked backward into running back Israel Abanikanda during the Cowboys' first padded practice of training camp. He was unable to put weight on his left leg, requiring a cart to leave the field.
Fant signed with the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent out of Tennessee in 2023. He has appeared in 11 games in three seasons, playing mostly on special teams.

The Dallas Cowboys have been dealing with their fair share of training camp injuries a week into their trek to Oxnard, CA. Fortunately things have generally landed on the temporary side for most of the affected. On Monday, they had to add another name to the list as tight end Princeton Fant was forced to leave practice.
On the first day of padded work, Fant had to be helped off and eventually he was escorted from the field on a cart. He was injured while blocking edge rusher Sam Williams, who pushed him back into the accelerating running back Israel Abanikanda.
Fant is battling to be a depth piece for the Cowboys at a position without much certainty behind starter Jake Ferguson and No. 2 Brevyn Spann-Ford. Neither of the sure things for the roster offer tremendous offensive potential, leading to a lot of opportunity for TE3 and practice squad depth.
That's where Fant has existed since being an undrafted free agent in 2023 out of Tennessee where he teamed up with current teammate, QB Joe Milton. Fant has spent three seasons on the practice squad, experiencing a couple game-day activations to help when injuries arose, but he's fought to maintain a place on the roster. There was one stretch, in the back half of the 2024 season, where he was fully promoted to the 53-man roster.
This year he's competing with the likes of UDFAs Michael Trigg (Baylor) and DJ Rogers (TCU).

The Cincinnati Bengals get plenty of press surrounding their wide receiver room. With a bona fide superstar in Ja'Marr Chase and a WR1 talent like Tee Higgins playing opposite Chase, the Bengals boast a duo most teams in the league almost certainly envy.
For years, Tyler Boyd was the third receiver in the rotation during the beginning of the Joe Burrow era. Since he's moved on, Andrei Iosivas has been given the bulk of the opportunity to hold down the role of third wide receiver. After being a track star at Princeton, he has seen his fair share of snaps in the Bengals' offense.
While he hasn't reached the level that Boyd was, reports from early on in training camp say that Iosivas looks even faster as he heads into a contract year.
"He's playing with confidence, and he's playing fast. He looks really fast," offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher told Bengals.com's Geoff Hobson. "He's been fast, but he's playing really fast. Taking advantage of the opportunities that come his way. Even on plays he hasn't been targeted, he's had some really good releases where he separated from ***** p man."
For all the attention Higgins and Chase command, a breakout season from Iosivas, paired with a healthy Mike Gesicki, could make this potent offense even more dangerous.

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson backed Michelle Obama's criticism of isolating students of color at elite colleges during Wednesday's episode of the former first lady's podcast, agreeing after Obama said schools failed those students when they spread them thinly across campus.
Jackson said Harvard's sizable Black community helped her feel at home. Jackson was an undergrad there and also received her law degree at Harvard; Obama also received her law degree there but was a Princeton undergraduate.
"You don't do kids of color service by plucking them out and making them one of a few and then scattering them about the campus," Obama said.
"I think that's absolutely right," Jackson said.

Real football is back for the Dallas Cowboys, who are set to take the field for the first time in training camp on Wednesday. Most of the roster is set, with a conservative number of around 35 players all but guaranteed to make the team.
That leaves almost 20 roster spots up for grabs. Anything can happen this summer in Oxnard, and odd things occur annually in training camp, so there are some veterans who might be surprise cuts for the Cowboys. Here are four players who could be shocking releases if they don't perform well in camp.
The offense doesn't have many depth issues, but tight end is a position where Dallas could be looking for more quality. The starter is Jake Ferguson, and the No. 2 option now appears to be Brevyn Spann-Ford, who has taken over for Luke Schoonmaker in the pecking order. While neither excelled as a receiver in the offense, Spann-Ford is a much better blocker.

Among those who could push Schoonmaker off the roster are undrafted free agent TE Michael Trigg, who brings an intriguing skill set as a receiver, or Princeton Fant, who's managed to stick around for the last two seasons.

Lukas Prock has found his future home.
The four-star quarterback from Princeton (N.J.) Hun School has committed to Indiana, giving Curt Cignetti and the Hoosiers one of the nation's premier signal-callers in the 2028 class.
Prock, who ranks No. 68 in the 2028 Rivals Industry Ranking, chose Indiana over finalists Florida, Michigan, Notre Dame and Ohio State after a recruiting battle that accelerated throughout the summer.
Originally planning to wait until after his junior season, Prock ultimately decided there was no reason to delay once he became convinced Bloomington was the right fit.
"I kind of got serious about it the last month or so," Prock told Rivals. "I started to cut things down and lock in with a school so I wouldn't have to worry about it. I didn't want to rush it, and I don't think it's rushed at all."

The Golden State Warriors have put together their teams through a variety of ways over the years, yet few approaches have proven as successful as the NBA draft. More than anything else, the most talented players to represent the Warriors have arrived in Golden State either by being selected directly in the annual draft or through trades executed on that same night.
The Golden State Warriors have taken many of their top stars through the draft, but have also landed a number of notable players over the years as well. From tiny colleges to blue blood programs, these alumni have contributed significantly to the team's roster over the years. So, we chose to take a closer look at which Dubs came from which schools over the years.
So without further ado, let's take a look at every player who has been drafted by the Warriors out of Princeton.
Draft year and position: 10th round (3rd pick, 111th overall), 1950 NBA Draft

Ryan and I are back with NBA Summer League in full swing to tell you how many games these fresh young NBA Boilermakers will have and how they’ve done so far. Some good, some jaw dropping. Or maybe it’s jaw smacking? Anyway. Ryan runs down all the stats in this one and we talk about who has surprised in their NBA debut.
Next, we talk about the final piece of the 2026-2027 men’s basketball roster as Ryan and I talk about Caden Pierce coming to Purdue from the Princeton Tigers. The Harvard of New Jersey some say. Does anyone say that? I’m not sure. Anyway, Ryan and I discuss what the sure to be starting 4 brings to the Boilermakers in what will be his final season of college eligibility. The former Ivy League player of the year will bring experience, rebounding, and a varied offensive game, but don’t take this short paragraph to be all we say about him. Give us a listen and we will tell you all about it.

Jesse Marsch has made it clear that he doesn't care about the haters. The American-born Princeton alum who both played and coached at the MLS level before taking over as Canada's frontman is unabashedly himself.
Even before the Round of 16 commenced in the 2026 World Cup on Saturday, Marsch had drawn ire for comments he'd made before and during this year's tournament. Plus, he had received criticism for his on-field theatrics, including his celebration after a 6-0 win over Qatar in group play and his "Canadian heroes" speech after the Round of 32.
The 52-year-old manager was under siege again in the wake of Canada's 3-0 defeat to Morocco — not because his squad was suddenly out of the World Cup but rather due to what he said following the loss.
Marsch insisted that Canada was "the better team" and said "I'd rather be us than them" in his pitchside post-match interview, a bewildering revelation considering Morocco emerged as the team advancing to the quarterfinals, where it will meet France.
The latter of those quotes arrived in response to a question Marsch fielded in the immediate aftermath of the match, an inquiry about what he hopes Canada can do to build on its head-turning run in this year's World Cup.
