Jordan Faison powers Notre Dame lacrosse past Georgetown
Notre Dame lacrosse won 11-9 over Georgetown to move to 3-0. The No. 1 Fighting Irish got a key goal from football and lacrosse star Jordan Faison.
Chris Kavanagh had three goals and an assist and Will Angrick and Jalen Seymour each had two goals.
Faison made it 9-6 to with a goal in his first game back with the lacrosse team -- the tally came with 13:30 remaining in the fourth.
Notre Dame jumped out to a 6-0 lead before Georgetown roared back to tie it at 6. Then the Irish ripped off four in a row, including Faison's, before Georgetown got three more to narrow it to 10-9. But a Kavanagh goal provided the necessary insurance.
Consider this one a bit of a revenge game, as the Hoyas are the only team to beat the Irish in the regular season last year.

Ohio State Athletic Director Ross Bjork meets with media to discuss state of program
Ohio State Athletic Director Ross Bjork meets with media to discuss state of program College athletics continue to be transformed at breakneck speed. Over the last few years, we've seen conferences re-align, Name, Image and Likeness become prevalent and extremely meaningful, the transfer portal turn college athletics into free-agency, and now, we have direct revenue sharing taking center stage after the approval of the House Settlement. With all of that going on, and with the recent news that will again change things, Ohio State Athletic Director Director Ross Bjork took some time to meet with the media to give a state of college athletics, what it means for Ohio State, and provide some direction of the program given the size and impact of such a massive athletic department. He also took time to field some questions from the media that made their way to the banks of the Olentangy. It was a long and wide-ranging press conference, but we felt it necessary to provide the full video and audio of Bjork's time at the podium on Thursday to give you the full scale of all of his comments. Watch and listen to Bjork discuss things like the House Settlement, how revenue sharing will be funded, expanding the College Football Playoff, the status of night games, and much more. Thanks to WBNS 10TV, the CBS affiliate in Columbus for the video. This won't be the last time we hear from Bjork with the everchanging landscape of college athletics. Ohio State had a really good AD with Gene Smith prior to Bjork's arrival, and so far the newest AD seems to know what he's doing and is ready to also knock it out of the park.

Jaron 'Boots' Ennis set to relinquish world titles, move up to super welterweight
Jaron "Boots" Ennis' days at welterweight are over. The WBA, IBF and Ring Magazine 147-pound champion will move up to the super welterweight division for his next fight, Ennis' promoter, Matchroom Boxing's Eddie Hearn, revealed to multiple outlets on Thursday afternoon. Advertisement Ennis (34-0, 30 KOs) was upgraded to IBF welterweight champion following Terence Crawford's undisputed title victory over Errol Spence Jr. in July 2023, and Crawford's subsequent jump to 154 pounds. Boots made two defenses of the IBF belt in 2024 before stopping Eimantas Stanionis in their welterweight title unification matchup in April in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Ennis's performance against Stanionis, a formidable champion in his own right, was nothing short of special. Ennis broke down and knocked out the consensus No. 2 in the division inside six rounds and reiterated what many have long believed — that Ennis' ceiling in the sport is quite high. Although the goal for Ennis was to become undisputed champion at welterweight, it proved too difficult to achieve, with mandatory challengers being ordered and difficulty making fights with the other champions, namely Brian Norman Jr. and Mario Barrios.

Advertisement Irish welterweights Paddy Donovan and Lewis Crocker have been ordered to rematch in a final eliminator for the IBF 147-pound belt following the controversial ending to their first fight in March. Donovan was disqualified for flooring Crocker with a right hook after the bell sounded to signal the end of Round 8. The Limerick man, who was well on his way to victory when he was disqualified by referee Marcus McDonnell, blamed the raucous atmosphere from the soldout SSE Arena in Belfast for his failure to hear the bell. It is now likely that the Donovan vs. Crocker rematch will be contested for the vacant IBF welterweight title following Ennis' decision. Although a date hasn't been set for the rematch, Uncrowned understands the fight will take place in late September or early October in Belfast, either at Windsor Park or back at the SSE Arena. Shakhram Giyasov is the No. 1 contender for the WBA welterweight title, while Rolando "Rolly" Romero won the WBA "Regular" belt with an upset victory over Ryan Garcia in May. Romero is expected to be upgraded to full champion and ordered to defend against Giyasov. Advertisement As for Ennis, because he was the WBA "super" champion at welterweight, he has the opportunity to be designated as the mandatory challenger for the WBA at super welterweight. The WBA super welterweight title is currently held by Crawford, while Yoenis Tellez owns the interim title. It is highly unlikely Crawford, who challenges Saul "Canelo" Alvarez for the undisputed super middleweight crown in September, ever returns to 154 pounds, and so Ennis could find himself in prime position to face Tellez for the WBA super welterweight title. Hearn also said Ennis would be open to facing Vergil Ortiz Jr. at some point after his 154-pound debut, which will be in August or September.
