2025 Southwick Motocross 250 Moto 1: Haiden Deegan earns first holeshot of the season
It took eight motos, but Haiden Deegan finally earned his first holeshot of the year.
Deegan has his eye set on the 450 division — perhaps as soon as 2026 — and he matched Jett Lawrence's early race performance with a five-second lead over Michael Mosiman at the end of Lap 1.
Tom Vialle crashed while following Mosiman in the battle for second. Vialle fell to 10th, which moved Mikkel Haarup up to third.
One lap later, Levi Kitchen overtook Haarup for the final podium position.

Everton Women close to double signing as transfer business continues
Everton Women are closing in on the signing of Leicester City Women's Yuka Momiki. The forward's contract expires at the Foxes today (June 30) and she is expected to undergo a medical with the Blues. The Japanese international started her career at Nippon TV Tokyo Verdy Beleza, where she played one year in the youth team before making her first-team debut in 2011. Momiki went on to have a successful spell at the club, making 117 appearances. Advertisement In 2020, she then made the move over to the National Women's Soccer League in the United States and signed for Seattle Reign. However, she only made seven appearances for the Bold. READ MORE: Liverpool rejected chance to sign Alexander Isak as £85m transfer decision explained READ MORE: Five players Everton could sign for free this week including Kenny Tete The 29-year-old spent two years out on loan at Swedish side, Linkopings. The American-born player was then bought permanently by Linkopings in 2022, where she made 41 appearances. Momiki then made a big move over to the Women's Super League (WSL) in 2024, where she played for Leicester 25 times, scoring three goals. Advertisement On the international stage Momiki was included in the Japan 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup team, along with being selected in the 2020 Olympics side, and was also picked for the SheBelieves Cup in 2025, which Japan won. Momiki scored in the final against the United States, in a 2-1 win. Everton's budget in the 2024/25 season was one of the lowest in the WSL, as the club prioritised surviving in the league rather than pushing for Europe. But after the takeover from The Friedkin Group, manager Brian Sorensen extended his contract by two years in April, alongside assistant manager Stephen Neligan. And they have been busy in the transfer market, today signing midfielder Rosa van Gool on a free from Ajax. Advertisement Sorensen has also brought in two other new permanent additions so far this summer, both from Manchester United, with striker Kelly Gago and midfielder Hayley Ladd signing for Everton. Three loan deals have also been completed, which means the Blues have now made a total of up to six official signings, so far in the transfer window. As well as the backing from The Friedkin Group, the move from Walton Hall Park to Goodison Park might also have helped with the signings of these players.

LPGA's 2025 Player of the Year race is stacked with names who have never won it
World No. 1 Nelly Korda claimed the award last season when she won seven times but she is winless thus far in 2025. After a year in which Nelly Korda blew away the competition for LPGA Player of the Year honors, the pendulum has swung into a wide-open race. With no repeat winners midway through the 2025 season, Japan's Mao Saigo leads the tour with 88 points, five in front of Australia's Minjee Lee. Jeeno Thitikul, who leads the tour in top-10 finishes with seven, sits alone in third with 80 points. Saigo won the Chevron Championship in a five-way playoff and has four additional top-10 finishes. Lee won her third different career major title at the KPMG Women's PGA and has three additional top 10s. World No. 1 Korda won seven times last season but is winless thus far in 2025. She's currently 42 points behind Saigo in 12th place. No one ahead of Korda has previously won the award. Ayako Okamoto (1987) is the only Japanese player to win the LPGA's POY since its inception in 1966. Last year, Saigo became the second Japanese player to win Rookie of the Year honors. Japan's Rio Takeda currently leads the ROY race and is fourth on the POY list, 20 points behind her compatriot. Players must finish in the top 10 to earn POY points and points are doubled at majors. A victory at a regular LPGA event is worth 30 points and a runner-up is worth 12. Rolex Player of the Year candidates for 2026

Angel Reese sets WNBA rebounds mark, offense ‘finally coming through'
June 30 (UPI) -- Angel Reese continues to pull down rebounds at a WNBA record rate, but says she also is recovered from a "terrible" offensive start and is "finally coming through" for the Chicago Sky. Reese made the comments in her postgame news conference after totaling a game-high 24 points, 16 rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and a steal in a 92-85 win over the Los Angeles Sparks on Sunday in Los Angeles. "I went through a storm for the first eight games where I couldn't finish and it was frustrating," Reese said. "But I trusted my work and my teammates trusted my work. "I'm finally coming through and finally finishing efficiently and it's leading to wins for us." With her 16 rebounds, Reese became the first player in WNBA history to collect at least 15 rebounds in four consecutive games. Her record rebounding streak started June 22, with a 19-board performance. She followed that game with 17- and 18-rebound efforts before setting a new WNBA record against the Sparks. Reese scored 18 points in the second half, including 11 in the fourth quarter of Sunday's win. She went 10 of 19 from the floor. The All-Star forward went just 21 of 68 from the floor through her first seven games this season, making 30.9% of her attempts. Reese is shooting 47.1% (48 of 102) over nine appearances since then. She shot at a 48.9% clip over her last three starts. The Sky went 2-5 during Reese's seven-game slump, when she averaged 9.1 points, 12.3 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.6 steals per game. They are 3-4 over her last seven games, when she averaged 15.1 points, 13.6 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.0 blocks. "I struggled in the first eight or nine games in not being where I should have been," Reese said. "Obviously, it happens. I was very hard on myself, tough conversations with myself, tough conversations with people that kept it real with me in telling me what I can get to work on and need to be better at and also getting into a new role. "This is the first time in a long time I'm being a point guard and being a 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and guarding all five positions too. Just trying to come out with that, but I trust my work. I have great conversations with [WNBA legend] Lisa Leslie, talk to [former Sky coach] Teresa Weatherspoon every day. Just being able to have great people in my corner that really push me and know my potential." The Sky trailed by as many as seven points in the third quarter before rallying to earn their second win in three games. They outshot the Sparks 48.5% to 41.7%, including a 42.3% to 32.1% edge in 3-point shooting. Veteran guard Ariel Atkins totaled 20 points in the victory. Fellow guards Kia Nurse and Rachel Banham and forward/center Elizabeth Williams chipped in 14, 13 and 12 points, respectively, for the Sky. Reese, whose 24 points were the second-most scored Sunday by any WNBA player, is now averaging 12.4 points and a WNBA-high 12.6 rebounds per game this season. She made 40.6% of her shots through her first 16 appearances of 2025, an improvement from her .391 shooting percentage as a rookie. "I'm just trusting my work," Reese said. "I put my head down every day and just grind. That's all I do. I don't do it for cameras. I don't do it for publicity. I don't post me in the gym and I'm not going to. I put my head down every day and work. I'm very versatile in what I do on and off the court and I prioritize when I'm at work. When I'm at work it's time for work. "I come here every day and try to do everything for my teammates. ... It means a lot to me to be named with such great players and just continue to know I can be better every day and continue to be great." The Sky (5-11), who sit in 10th place in the WNBA standings, will take on the first-place Minnesota Lynx (14-2) at 7 p.m. EDT Sunday in Minneapolis. Copyright 2025 UPI News Corporation.
