Shorthanded attack dooms Revolution, as Cincinnati wins at Gillette to end nine-match unbeaten run
Despite being credited with 74 percent of the possession in the second half, New England (6-5-5, 23 points) managed just five shots after the break, none of which much threatened Cincinnati goalkeeper Roman Celentano. Its two best chances after halftime were a turnaround shot from substitute Maxi Urruti, which screamed past the top corner in the 71st minute, and a stoppage-time free kick from Carles Gil into the top netting. Related : Advertisement Wing backs Peyton Miller and Ilay Feingold frequently carried into the Cincinnati end, and Gil had plenty of possession in the center of the field, but neither could find teammates able to create dangerous chances. The Revolution were credited with just two shots on target for the match — a 12th-minute rip from Tomás Chancalay set up by Gil and Miller, and a bounding Matt Polster shot soon after halftime right at Celentano. Advertisement Up front, coach Caleb Porter turned to Chancalay and Luis Diaz, whose first MLS start since October 2022 included being dispossessed on a 52nd-minute breakaway without managing at attempt on Celentano. 'Probably the biggest moment that we really need to turn into a goal,' Porter said. Cincinnati's Lukas Engel (left) ran down New England's Luis Diaz in the second half, preventing him from putting a shot on goal. New England Revolution He brought on Urruti as support in the 64th minute, replacing right back Brayan Ceballos, who had picked up a yellow card in the 16th. Lacking another offensive option, however, Porter chose midfielder Jackson Yueill when Chancalay came off in the 80th. 'Honestly, I don't know what more you can do. We subbed on every attacking player we had available,' Porter said. 'We kept throwing the kitchen sink at them. We kept huffing and puffing and we just couldn't blow the house down.' The 80 minutes represented the most game action for the Argentine since returning in April from ACL surgery. Cincinnati (10-5-3, 33 points), which had allowed 10 goals in a four-match winless stretch before Saturday, produced its winner on the counterattack. Veteran Kei Kamara wheeled around New England's Tanner Beason with a deft touch, carrying into the Revolution end. The ball eventually got to Denkey in the penalty area. Blocked by the returning Ceballos, who'd missed a pair of matches with a head injury, Denkey passed across the field to Luca Orellano. Orellano fed a left foot back in front of goal, where Denkey — acquired for a Asked whether the Revolution would be shopping for attacking players when the summer transfer window begins late next month, Porter made clear the team knows what it needs. Advertisement 'I think we have some guys that can score, but health and run of games, we still haven't had a guy that's really taken the lead there, and you need that,' he said. 'For us to be a contender, you have to have a striker that gets 10-plus goals minimum. We need to find that guy, whether it's here or somewhere else.' New England had eight corners to Cincinnati's three on Saturday, and a 10-9 edge in shots. Aljaz Ivacic was credited with two saves, as well as stopping a pair of close-range deflections off teammates in the opening 10 minutes.

Celtics rival has ‘mutual intrigue' with sitting head coach (report)
When the Knicks fired coach Tom Thibodeau after their best playoff run in 25 years, it was clear New York was looking to take the next step toward competing for a title. While there's no clear frontrunner for the job, a current sitting head coach has reportedly shown some interest in the opening. Per ESPN's Brian Windhorst, there's 'mutual intrigue' between the Knicks and Mavericks coach Jason Kidd. Now, that doesn't mean New York will get a deal done. The Knicks will also have to request to interview Kidd, which the Mavs could deny. So there are still moving parts as the Knicks look for their next head coach. Advertisement The Mavs are in an interesting spot in the wake of the stunning Luka Doncic trade. They have the No. 1 pick and a chance to draft Cooper Flagg, along with stars like Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving on the roster. But that doesn't necessarily mean they'll be competing for a championship next season as Irving is also coming off a torn ACL. Kidd also reportedly didn't enjoy being the spokesperson for the Mavs after the Doncic trade. The Hall of Fame guard just finished his fourth season in Dallas which includes an appearance in the 2024 NBA Finals. If Kidd ends up in New York, it could be after he's traded, which has happened a handful of times in league history. Regardless, there's naturally a lot of rumors when it comes to the Knicks job. They have a win-now roster, though that also means a lot of pressure. But even though Kidd has been mentioned in rumors, New York will still have to jump through some hoops to hire him if he's available. More Celtics content Read the original article on MassLive.

Aoibhe Landers, named Grace for one day, helps St. Laurence to fourth place in state. ‘Everyone looks up to her.'
PEORIA — Trusting your instinct can take you a long way. That's how it worked out for senior second baseman Aoibhe Landers when it came time to choosing a high school, specifically St. Laurence. Actually, she trusted herself — and best friend Jordan Ogean. 'A lot of our friends we played softball with when we were younger went to Marist and some of the bigger schools,' Landers said. 'Me and Jordan just decided to do something different. 'We liked what coach Teagan (Walsh) had at St. Laurence and we trusted her a lot. But we also had to put a lot of belief in ourselves and work hard.' Saturday, they stood proud after the Vikings finished their season in fourth place at state. The trophy they took home was the first for any girls team in school history. It certainly made things a lot less painful during a 12-0 loss in five innings to Prairie Ridge in the Class 3A third-place game at Louisville Slugger Sports Complex. 'I'm just proud of our team for never giving up this season,' Landers said. 'I feel a lot of people doubted us, especially in the middle of the season when we had kind of a rough patch. 'But we came out and did the best we could.' Kayla Howard came through with a pair of hits for St. Laurence (23-9) in the setback against Prairie Ridge (29-2-1). Ogean added a single for the Vikings. Landers, meanwhile, wrapped up her softball career with a superb senior season in which she batted .388 with seven doubles, one home run and 36 RBIs. Her stats as a junior were similar, but some fine-tuning made her even more effective. 'She's just that kid who as a junior took the critiques and worked on them in the offseason,' Walsh said of Landers. 'She just bought in. She's that kid who is hitting a thousand balls that we have to tell her, 'OK, you've done enough swings. Now take a break.' 'Aoibhe has always been an above-and-beyond kid. She doesn't do complacency. She wants to one up herself every day. She's her biggest competitor, making herself better and making everyone around her better.' And feeling good about themselves. 'I think Aoibhe sets a good tone for everybody,' Ogean said. 'There is an in-between of having fun but also playing hard. 'If anyone needs to make an adjustment, she'll put it out there in a friendly way. And everyone listens to her because everyone looks up to her. So it works.' Now. The name. It's Aoibhe. It gets noticed. Yes, it's unusual around these parts. But it's a common name in Ireland, where both of her parents grew up. Not many newbies at school would guess correctly that Aoibhe is pronounced Ava. For herself, Ogean knew how to say it before she even tried to spell it. 'We were in first grade, so I basically didn't know how to read,' Ogean said, laughing. 'I didn't know if it was spelled weirdly or not. I think the hardest part was understanding her dad. He has a heavier accent.' There's also another neat story behind Aoibhe's name. 'Funny enough, when I was born, I was Grace for one day,' Landers said. 'But then they changed it to Aoibhe to give me a harder name.' It's now a part of St. Laurence softball history. 'After we won in the supersectional, I was so relieved,' Landers said. 'I remember the next day, Jordan and I got into the car for practice and we were like, 'This doesn't even feel real.' 'We worked so hard for this all season. It feels good.'
