The 2026 home campaign for the Salt Lake Bees (24-44/63-79) came to a close this week as they welcomed the Round Rock Express (Triple-A, Texas Rangers). Known as the "E-Train," the Lone Star side steamrolled their way to a dominant series victory, winning five of six. Outside of a 11-1 thrashing on Thursday, the Bees never held a lead in the other five contests. The Express (38-31/69-75) collected their first road series win in Salt Lake since 2021, when they swept the Bees in a six-game set.
Despite a quality start from Bees starter Ryan Costeiu, Round Rock earned a 5-1 series opening victory on Tuesday. The visitors scored in four different frames, while Niko Kavadas helped Salt Lake avoid a shutout with a fifth-inning solo blast. Wednesday was more of the same, as the Express tallied a 6-1 victory. MLB rehabber Josh Jung punctuated the win with a solo blast in the eighth, as the Bees were held to just a trio of hits for the second straight game.
As mentioned above, the Salt Lake bats came alive on Thursday with an 11-1 rout. The team tied their season-high with four homers, spotlighted by Kavadas' second multi-homer night of the campaign. The infielder's surge was part of a four-hit night, his first at any level since 2022. On the mound, Joel Hurtado turned in 6.2 innings of one-run ball, finally collecting his first Triple-A win in his eighth try. After falling behind 5-0 on Friday, the Bees nearly completed a comeback, coming up just short in a 5-4 defeat. Salt Lake got the winning run on base in the ninth, but ultimately fell short.
The final Saturday and Sunday at home in 2026 were near carbon copies of each other. Big first innings for Round Rock put them in the driver's seat, leading 6-0 and 4-0, respectively. Saturday's output was more than enough for the visitors as they added seven more runs over the course of the game to shutout the Bees 13-0. On Sunday's home finale, Salt Lake battled and answered every time the Express scored. They closed the gap to 6-4 before Round Rock gained some length with Aaron Zavala's two-run blast in the sixth, the only longball of the evening. The Bees did not go down without a fight, bringing the tying run to the plate in the ninth. A flyball was tracked down for the 27th and final out of the finale, completing the Express' 9-6 victory.
The 74th and final home game saw 7,853 fans come through the turnstiles of The Ballpark at America First Square — the largest crowd in ballpark history. Salt Lake finished 35-39 at home this season, winning or splitting nine of their 13 total home series. The Bees were victorious in at least one game against every opponent who came to South Jordan, avoiding a sweep for the second straight season as the hosts.

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.

Northridge and Goshen were the top two teams in the Northern Lakes Conference last year with the Raiders eventually prevailing for their third straight NLC **** le.
No one would be surprised if those two are once again this year at the top of the league standings.
"I feel the NLC will be tough again this year across the top," said Northridge coach Chris Malott, whose squad finished 15-3-2 overall last year and 7-0 in the conference.
"We return a seasoned core from last year. Goshen and Warsaw also return some very talented players. Concord and NorthWood have some talent and I feel they may surprise some people. Plymouth has a new coach (Lindsey Stiles) and I think she will bring some good things to the program."
No. 14-ranked (3A) Northridge will be led by Adelynn Miller (12 goals, seven **** ists), Anna Garber (three goals, one **** ist), Brylee Yoder (one goal, three **** ists) and Halle Moeller from last year's Class 3A sectional championship squad. All four were all-conference selections last year. Yoder also made the honorable mention All-State team.

Julia Stiles, once the face of smart teen romances and dramatic favorites, turned heads on the red carpet, showing she still has the poise and style that made her famous. After unforgettable roles in classics like 10 Things I Hate About You, she embraced quieter projects and TV work, stepping back from mainstream blockbusters. In the 1999 film, a Seattle-set teen retelling of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, Stiles played the sharp-tongued Kat Stratford opposite Heath Ledger, according to HuffPost. Her recent appearances rekindled nostalgia and underscored her ability to enchant in any era.

The 2026 World Cup group stage pulled more fans into stadiums than any full tournament in the competition’s entire history.
FIFA released its official group-stage figures on Sunday, a day after the opening round wrapped up. The governing body counted 4.6 million spectators across the 72 matches staged in 16 host cities in Canada, Mexico and the United States.
The 17 days of action drew supporters from 210 countries and territories. In doing so, the first 48-team World Cup blew past an attendance record that had stood since the United States last hosted back in 1994.
That benchmark had survived more than three decades and two tournament expansions.
The headline figure is 4,644,549 — the people who passed through the turnstiles across the group phase. FIFA says that filled 99.7% of all available seats, for an average crowd of 64,508 per match.

David Bowie was a star who flourished behind pseudonyms and personas. It was Ziggy Stardust who launched him from one-hit-wonder status to household name in the summer of 1972. A performance of Starman on Top of the Pops was for many the moment Britain transitioned from black and white into Technicolor.
There was the Thin White Duke in 1976 and then came the mainstream pop star courting worldwide fame with 1983's Let's Dance, though it was a disposition that soon made Bowie deeply unhappy.
He became more comfortable in his own skin during the 1990s, though he still enjoyed some role play, often signing off interactions with his fans online as "Sailor". And perhaps his most surprising adopted persona was that of the fierce football fan. During a short-lived but genuine fascination with England's national side, he even referred to himself as a player from the 1966 World Cup-winning team in emails with his PR, Alan Edwards.
"I remember he started referring to himself as ***** by, as in ***** by Stiles, which gives you an idea of where he'd picked it up, although he wasn't a big football fan," recalls Edwards. "I think his local team was Crystal Palace because they were around the corner from Beckenham. His best friend Geoff [MacCormack] is a big ***** nal fan like myself."
Edwards is an avid watcher of the beautiful game, and took in the 1982 World Cup final in a Turin bar with Mick Jagger and a few other stray Stones. He was used to fellow ***** nal fan Roger Daltrey on the other end of the line for a post-match chat: "I have a 15, 20-minute debrief after every single game with Roger."
