LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Angel City Football Club closed out its road trip with a 2-nil victory over Racing Louisville FC on Saturday at Lynn Family Stadium thanks to a pair of goals by Evelyn Shores.
Despite a scoreless first half, Angel City found a controlling rhythm within the opening 15 minutes and maintained it through the rest of the match. Angel City went into the break with 60% possession, seven more shots (two more on target) and 20 touches in Racing Louisville's box. ACFC created various close chances, including in the 19th minute, when Prisca Chilufya sent a right-footed shot from the center of the box, which was saved in the bottom right corner by Jordyn Bloomer.
It wasn't until the 69th minute that Angel City broke ahead. Shores sent a left-footed shot from outside the box to the bottom right corner of an ****** ist by Sarah Gorden.
The 21-year-old midfielder did not stop there. In the 90+1st minute, Shores doubled ACFC's lead with a right-footed shot from the center of the box to the bottom right corner, ****** isted by Ally Sentnor.
Saturday's performance was Shores' first career brace in the NWSL. She now has three goals on the season. It is also the second game the Los Angeles side has won on this most recent road trip. Last week, the team scored a historic 5-2 victory.

GRAND BLANC, MI — Steven Alker crashed the Block party.
Alker made four consecutive birdies on the back nine en route to a final-round 4-under 68 to hold off a big-name leaderboard and run away with The Ally Challenge crown at Warwick Hills Golf & Country Club on Sunday, Aug. 30. It was Alker's 13th victory on the 50-and-older PGA Tour Champions tour — including his third this season and his second in as many weeks.
Alker, 55, from New Zealand, took sole possession of the lead with a birdie at the par-4 12th hole, then expanded it with a two-putt birdie at the par-5 13th hole, as Michael Block, the one-time viral sensation, made bogey.
"Perfect number," Alker said of his second-shot, 3-wood approach from 245 yards into the 13th hole, where the momentum really swung to his corner. "Worked out well."
Alker made birdies at Nos. 14 and 15 (the latter on a 60-foot putt), too, as he seized yet another ****** le and bolstered his standing in the season-long Charles Schwab Cup points race, which he's won twice before. Alker won for the second time in Michigan, having won the Senior PGA Championship in 2022 at Harbor Shores in Benton Harbor.Alker entered Sunday's final round two shots back of Block, the 50-year-old PGA Tour Champions rookie who was looking for his first win in any PGA Tour-sanctioned tournament.

As King Haakon of Norway ascends the throne after the death of his father, the former naval officer must steer a royal family in crisis towards calmer shores.
The King, 53, has endured a string of royal scandals in recent years linked to his stepson, Marius Borg Høiby; his wife Mette-Marit, now the Queen; and his sister, Martha-Louise.
Opinion polls suggest there is a crisis of confidence in the royal family. A survey found that one in three Norwegians wanted the monarchy to be abolished upon the death of King Harald.
The most damaging revelations have centred on Borg Høiby, 29, the new King's stepson, who was convicted of rape and ***** ault in June and sentenced to four years in prison.

The third preseason game for the Cleveland Browns and New England Patriots did not include a lot of players who will play a lot of snaps in Week 1, but it did include a lot of roster bubble guys. The amazing Browns fans were planning to tune in, with QBs Dillon Gabriel and Taylen Green taking the snaps this week:
The biggest stories coming out of the game will be any injuries and how those bubble players perform with the chances that they are given. Some of the evaluation is tougher given the level of talent on the other side of the field, with the Patriots also not playing their top guys. Take everything within that perspective.
A few takeaways from Thursday Night Football off the shores of Lake Erie:
Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson have locked up the top of the depth chart, but Raheim Sanders still has to secure his spot as the third guy. A few carries in the first few series looked like Sanders, nicknamed "Rocket," is on his way to having that role.
One of Shedeur Sanders' favorite targets, Floriea just keeps making plays, including this touchdown from Gabriel:

Florida State Seminoles transfer quarterback Tommy Castellanos has committed to the Texas Tech Red Raiders, according to On3's Pete Nakos.
His addition shores up the depth at quarterback behind starter Will Hammond, who is recovering from a torn ACL that ended his 2025 season. Castellanos was out of eligibility following the 2025 season but went undrafted in the 2026 NFL Draft.
He then elected to try to return to college for a fifth season, after the NCAA changed the eligibility rules. He won his lawsuit against the NCAA, getting another year of eligibility when a court in Kentucky granted an injunction, which also allowed him to enter the transfer portal outside the normal window. He was invited to several NFL training camps as a wide receiver, but never signed with a team.
Castellanos started all 12 games for FSU last season, completing 58.3% of his passes for 2,760 yards, 15 touchdowns, and nine interceptions. He finished as FSU's leading rusher, carrying the ball 137 times for 557 yards and nine touchdowns.
He has played in 38 games during his career, also spending time with the UCF Knights and Boston College Eagles. He has thrown for 6,449 yards, 48 touchdowns, and 28 interceptions. He has also rushed for 1,984 yards and 24 touchdowns.

Saransh Jain, a 33-year-old Madhya Pradesh all-rounder, finally earned his maiden senior India call-up after more than a decade grinding away in domestic cricket.
An off-spinner who bowls right-arm but bats left-handed, Jain now finds himself alongside established spin options Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav and Manav Suthar in the squad.
With Washington Sundar ruled out of the opening Test through injury, Jain's inclusion gives India another off-spin option, while his consistent lower-order runs add genuine value to the batting depth.
Jain's most decisive performance arrived just weeks before the squad announcement. He was playing for India A against Sri Lanka A in Galle, and he returned with figures of 4 for 92 and 2 for 66 across both innings.
Jain also struck an unbeaten 70 with the bat to help India A register a comprehensive ten-wicket win and a 1-0 series victory. Now, Jain heads back to the same Sri Lankan shores, only this time wearing India's senior Test colours.

President Donald Trump cast doubt in recent days on allegations that Russia is helping Iran target U.S. forces, even as members of his own administration acknowledge Moscow and Beijing are supporting Tehran in other ways.
Trump dismissed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's claim that Russia supplied Iran with satellite imagery of U.S. military installations in the Gulf, saying any ****** istance would have been "very unimpactful" given the damage inflicted on Iran's military.
"We'll find out if that's true. I'll ask Putin. We'll find out," Trump told reporters at the end of July.

A mythological creature is finding a home off the shores of Lake Erie, in Cleveland.
The Cleveland Sirens is the name for the WNBA expansion team that will debut in 2028. Rock Entertainment Group, which owns the team, announced the name August 4 at Rocket Arena.
Northeast Ohio basketball fans have been speculating about the expansion team's name since the city was awarded a franchise last year. Cleveland's former WNBA team was the Rockers until it went defunct in 2003.
But long before the name debut, there were signs.
It started off at Edgewater Beach when a mysterious sandcastle appeared July 31 with the logo 'Hear The Call' in blue coloring.

Before the World Cup settled all arguments, rugby's world supremacy was invariably decided between South Africa and New Zealand.
Two former outposts of the British Empire improved the game that England invented, and used rugby to forge their identity and raise their stature on the global stage. The Springboks and All Blacks stopped dancing around each other in 1921 when South Africa arrived in New Zealand by steamship.
For the next 75 years, to the dawn of the professional era, the rugby tours to each other's shores were ******* anic in length and depth, and fervor and controversy.
On the 30th anniversary of the last traditional tour between them, the All Blacks are in South Africa, opening an eight-match, six-week expedition on Friday in Cape Town. They and the Springboks will cross the Atlantic for marketing reasons to play the fourth and final test match in the NFL home of the Baltimore Ravens.
"These are the tours we've only heard of," Boks captain Siya Kolisi said when the tour was announced. "To experience this for the first time ... is unbelievable for us as a group."

Glasgow might have saved the Commonwealth Games, but don't expect to see them back on these shores for a generation.
Four of the last seven editions have been staged in Great Britain, and it's clear that Commonwealth Sport realises it needs to cut ties to the mother country for its future relevance.
Scotland gets its eternal thanks for stepping in at just 18 months' notice when Australia said it couldn't afford to host. Australian taxpayers ended up paying Glasgow £100m in compensation to stage the Games on their behalf and then duly topped the medal table with 70 golds.
"Glasgow has acted as a bridge to the future of the Commonwealth Games movement," said Commonwealth Sport president Dr Donald Rukare.
"Every host writes its own chapter, and Glasgow's has been one of bravery, courage, friendship and, above all, outstanding innovation."

Aug. 2—BEMIDJI — The 20th Annual Lake Bemidji
Dragon Boat Festival
saw the Nordic Whitecaps take home the championship race after upsetting a local rowing dynasty.
The rhythmic drumming of the dragon boats filled the air along the shores of Lake Bemidji on Saturday, as a large crowd watched the 11-time champion-winning team, the HydraHeads, finish second to the team they help train in the off-season.
After a day of racing, complete with 11 morning qualifying heats, followed by another 11 in the afternoon, each team's racing times were combined to determine the top finishes of the day — deciding who would race in the division finals for the bronze, silver, gold and championship cups.

Olympic champion Remco Evenepoel stormed to victory in Tuesday's 26.1km individual time-trial at the Tour de France to shave valuable seconds off Tadej Pogacar's overall lead.
Belgian Evenepoel, 26, blasted over the stage 16 course along the shores of Lake Geneva 28 seconds quicker than reigning champion Pogacar in second.
Everyone else finished more than a minute back, with Dane Mattias Skjelmose taking third at 1min 04sec.
That performance by the world and Olympic time-trial champion -- on Belgium's national holiday -- cut four-time Tour winner Pogacar's overall lead to 4min 32sec.
"It's amazing, it was a very nice TT (time-trial), a lot of people on the side of the road," said Evenepoel.

Lakers trade idea brings in Cavaliers All-Star, and it would be thanks to LeBron James originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Los Angeles Lakers would love to add a player who could come in and make an impact for them on the defensive side of the basketball. They've already attempted to do so this offseason by trading for Walker Kessler in a sign-and-trade deal with the Utah Jazz, but there's certainly a feeling that more could be done.
Even if the Lakers were to add another defensive-minded center, I don't think it's a bad idea, given how dominant some centers are in the Western Conference. That's why the latest prediction that the Lakers will make a move for Jarrett Allen of the Cleveland Cavaliers shouldn't be discredited.
"If the hometown king is actually making his triumphant return to the shores of Lake Erie, someone has to serve as the structural salary ballast. Jarrett Allen remains an elite drop-coverage anchor and a clinical rim-finisher, but Cleveland's front office must sacrifice high-end frontcourt utility to absorb a historic salary-cap footprint. For a Lakers team looking to instantly redefine its physical baseline in a post-LeBron environment, Allen represents the perfect modern defensive centerpiece," Joe Cervenka wrote.
Allen and Kessler are similar players in that both can block shots at an elite level, are high-level defenders, and do many little things that contribute to winning.

As coach Danny Sprinkle and the Washington Huskies look to fill the massive void left in the frontcourt by the departure of Hannes Steinbach for the NBA draft, one of his most promising options has yet to play his first game in purple and gold.
After transferring to the shores of Montlake from Frank Phillips College, where he was ranked as the No. 3 junior college prospect in the nation by 247Sports after averaging 13.2 points and 8.4 rebounds per game, Traore suffered a torn tendon and was forced to sit out his entire first season in Seattle. Now, after the Huskies had to overhaul their entire roster again, he could prove to be a key piece of the rotation moving forward.
During his time at Frank Phillips, Traore also displayed the ability to bring the ball up the floor at times, while shooting 53.4 percent from the floor and 76.4 percent at the free throw line, which led to some high praise from coach Danny Sprinkle regarding his athleticism.
"He's probably the best athlete on our team," Sprinkle said ahead of the 2025-26 season. "When you're talking about just running and jumping, he's a freak. And he's all of 6-foot-11 and long, he's going to be a really good player here."
With big men Lathan Sommerville and Nikola Dzepina back in the fold, professional additions Wini Braga and Boris Tisma, from Brazil and Croatia, respectively, along with Texas Tech transfer LeJuan Watts, the Huskies have plenty of bodies in the frontcourt, and Traore's ability to rebound and stretch the floor could give Sprinkle a much-needed boost in the Big Ten.

Wales have arrived in Argentina to continue almost 60 years of history travelling to face the Pumas in their own backyard.
It has been eight years since Wales previously toured South America, although this will just be a passing visit with one Nations Championship game in San Juan before Steve Tandy's side move on to face South Africa in Durban.
Wales have never before made the 7,000-mile trip to play just one game on these shores, with the squad arriving in Argentina on two different flights.
There have been plenty of dramas and incidents during previous Wales visits to Buenos Aires and beyond.
BBC Sport Wales charts the colourful history of when the Pumas have hosted Wales.

The U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills gave us a fascinating mix of where golf style is today and where it's headed next. Cashmere cardigans, pop-over shirts, and quiet luxury footwear shared the spotlight with bright World Cup-inspired colors and a new generation of Tour talent eager to make a statement. The week's best looks felt less focused on performance and more focused on personal style. From Tommy Fleetwood's viral knitwear moment to signs that color may finally be creeping back onto the fairways, there was plenty to unpack along the shores of Long Island.
Tommy Fleetwood’s Cardigan
Andrew Redington
Apparel free agent Tommy Fleetwood delivered the biggest style moment of the week.
The Englishman had social media buzzing after stepping to the first tee in a relaxed-fit cardigan with a golf ball motif. Fleetwood has developed a reputation for finding gems in pro shops and merch tents, but this one felt more like the result of a detour through a New York City boutique on the way to Shinnecock.

It has been said that patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel—but we might need harsher terms to describe how some prominent figures in the Trump administration are appealing to Congress to extend a warrantless surveillance program that is routinely used to spy on Americans.
Lawmakers who refuse to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) are advancing "marxism" and reversing "patriotic reform," argued Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff, in a post on Twitter.
"A libertarian demand to make SecWar get approval from liberal DC judges (the ones who targeted Trump) is madness," Miller wrote in a separate post.
What has Miller in such a tizzy? On Friday, a bipartisan group of senators (including seven Republicans) blocked the renewal of Section 702 in response to President Donald Trump's nomination of Bill Pulte to be the new director of national intelligence. Without congressional approval on an extension, those spying powers will expire on June 12.
With reauthorization uncertain, Trump—who used to oppose the reauthorization of federal warrantless spying powers—and the rest of the White House are pulling out all the stops. "America faces real threats from foreign adversaries, terrorists, cyber actors, and hostile intelligence services," wrote Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in his own Twitter post about the reauthorization fight. "Section 702 remains one of our nation's most effective tools for identifying and disrupting those threats before they reach our shores."

With a new week of play on the horizon, the Yankees once again hold a share of first place in the American League East. In a tie with the Rays for the top spot in the division, every game to this point has proven important, and things will likely stay that way. After a series against the Red Sox, which featured a win, a loss, and a rain out, the Yankees head back on the road to take on the Guardians in Cleveland.
This is the second time in the span of a week they will face each other, as the Yankees hosted the Guards for a three-game set in Yankee Stadium just last week. It was not a particularly good one for New York, as they grabbed just a 2-1 win in the final game to avoid a sweep. With a chance to make moves in the East, they’ll look to find better fortune this time around on the shores of Lake Erie.
Monday: Will Warren vs. Gavin Williams (6:40 pm ET)
Kicking things off, Will Warren takes the hill for the Yankees on Monday. The right-hander will look to build upon what has been the best season of his career to this point. Across 12 starts and over 64 innings, Warren is managing a 3.22 ERA/3.27 FIP combination, and outside of a blow-up against the Rangers a month ago, every other outing has seen him pitch high-quality ball. In his last outing against the A’s, he struck out five across six innings, and though they scored three runs on his watch, none of them were earned.
Similarly, Cleveland’s Gavin Williams is enjoying a career-year as well. In the midst of new bests in strikeout and walk rates, Williams has a 3.20 ERA in over 80 innings of work this season. The righty has been a work horse for Cleveland, completing at least six innings in more than two-thirds of his starts. His last effort was in that series against the Yankees, when he gave up three runs and a pair of homers in 5.1 hard-earned innings.
