Gonzalez scores twice and 2 players are sent off as Gotham defeats Royals 3-0
Associated Press Esther Gonzalez scored twice and Gotham FC beat the Utah Royals 3-0 in the National Women's Soccer League on Friday night, finishing the game with nine players after getting two red cards late in the second half. Elsewhere in the NWSL, the San Diego Wave beat the Houston Dash 3-2; and the Orlando Pride beat Bay FC 1-0. Gotham's win snapped a four-game winless streak while the Royals (1-9-2) have failed to win any of their last seven games. Gotham (4-5-3) went up 1-0 on González's first goal in the ninth minute. Jaelin Howell made it 2-0 in first-half stoppage time with her first career goal in the NWSL. After Royals defender Nuria Rabano fouled González in the box, the Gotham scored a penalty kick to make it 3-0 in the 58th minute. González now has a league best nine goals this season. Jess Carter was shown a straight red card for pulling back Mina Tanaka and denying an obvious goal scoring opportunity in the 76th minute. Howell picked up a second yellow card for a late tackle on Claudia Zornoza in the 90th minute. Gotham goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger had to leave the game with an injury in the 88th minute. Ryan Campbell made her NWSL debut in Berger's place. Sanchez scores on return to Texas, Wave defeats Dash 3-2 Maria Sanchez scored against her former team and the San Diego Wave beat the Houston Dash 3-2 at Shell Energy Stadium. Sánchez was traded to the Wave in April 2024 having played for the Dash since January 2022. The Mexican international came off the bench at halftime and silenced the home fans when she scored a header to make it 3-0 in the 51st minute. San Diego had gone into halftime with a 2-0 lead on Kenza Dali's goal in the 17th minute and Adriana Leon's goal from close-range in the 36th. The Dash fought back in the second half when Barbara Olivieri made it 3-1 in the 61st minute with a powerfully struck a long-range effort. Yazmeen Ryan scored her first goal for the Dash to make it 3-2 in the 68th. The Wave (7-3-2) now have six wins in their last eight games while the Dash (3-7-2) are without a win in their last four games. Banda scores deflected winner as Pride beats Bay 1-0 Barbra Banda scored in the 58th minute and the Orlando Pride came away from PayPal Park with a 1-0 win over Bay FC. Carson Pickett took a quick free-kick on the left wing to catch the Bay defense off guard. Pickett's through ball found Banda free in space, who then dribbled into the box and fired off a shot that deflected off two defenders before nestling in the back of the net. Even after out-shooting the Pride 16-7 (6 to 4 on target), Bay could not generate enough late pressure to force an equalizer. The Pride (8-3-1) earned their fifth clean sheet of the season and have now won three consecutive games. Bay (4-5-3) has lost all three of its meetings with the Pride in the NWSL since joining the league in 2024. With Bay's starting goalkeeper Jordan Silkowitz injured, smmie Allen made her NWSL debut. ___ AP soccer:

Advertisement 5. TMC talks big picture, tweaks wrestling postseason The MIAA's Tournament Management Committee discussed two big-picture topics and made a slight change to wrestling during its Thursday meeting. The only vote of the day was to reduce the number of wrestlers who qualify for All-States from six to five per weight, which was recommended by the wrestling committee. 'They're trying to get their arms around the number of people who are wrestling,' said TMC chair Shaun Hart , the Burlington AD. 'The events are so huge.' Two athletic directors, Newton North's Mike Jackson and Franklin's Karrah Ellis , proposed that basketball quarterfinal games be held at neutral locations instead of home gyms. 'It's definitely difficult to host an Elite Eight game in basketball,' Ellis said. 'From turning people away at the door because tickets sold out, to locking down your facility. We had people break in through our loading dock trying to sneak into a game. That's an unreasonable expectation of your event staff.' The committee decided to add the issue to a future agenda when they have more data, with Paine noting that only three quarterfinal games in 2025 sold more than 1,000 tickets. 'We understand Newton North and Franklin had a problem, but we need to look at the numbers and look at the ticket sales,' Hart said. Hart also noted that while hockey quarterfinals were moved to neutral locations last season, it's not an apples-to-apples comparison. 'Everyone owns their own basketball gym and less than half the hockey teams play at a venue that is theirs,' Hart said. 'They're not the same.' The committee also discussed the need to make the alignment process, which just wrapped up for the 2025-26 and 2026-27 school years, less arduous and acrimonious. Advertisement 'We have to seriously consider what we are doing and why we are doing this work,' Hart said. 'My hope is no person needs to do alignments again. We put the formula together and it runs the state and where you land is where you are.' A sub-committee was discussed to look at alternate methods for settling alignments.

Raiders P AJ Cole had the most AJ Cole big ticket purchase upon signing his new deal
Raiders P AJ Cole had the most AJ Cole big ticket purchase upon signing his new deal Anyone who has spoken to AJ Cole or watched one of his press conferences knows he's a character. The good kind. Not the weird wear-a-power-rangers-mask-to-training-camp, or punt-bags-of-pasta-at-the-grocery-store kind of character. He's just a funny, good natured dude. He also happens to be the best punter in the NFL. And this week he was rewarded by the Raiders for it when they made him the NFL's highest paid punter on a four-year extension. Most players when getting a big new contract will treat themselves to a big ticket item of some kind. Cole is no different. Although his choice of big ticket item may be quite a bit different. And it's so him. "All of my plants died, so we just re-landscaped our yard," Cole said of his big spend. "So, shout out to Antonio, Moon Valley Nurseries. So, I'm really excited, pretty excited that I get to stay here and watch those plants grow up. Because I don't know if you guys have bought plants before, but they're really, really expensive. And so, yeah, that was the big-ticket purchase, a couple of new queen palm trees in the backyard and a couple sweet Bay laurels on the side." He's just so wholesome it's ridiculous. The Raiders are very lucky to have him. Both for his on-field prowess and his off-field character.
