Lubbock Regional
Team leader: Wake Forest, Even-par
Individual leaders:
The hook: After playing the opening round Sunday, the Lubbock Regional was able to finish its second round Monday, where Wake Forest has an eight-shot lead on Texas. But Texas is 18 shots ahead of the next closest teams, meaning the top spots are essentially locked up. However, only three shots separate Arizona and Iowa State, tied for third, and Tennessee and Texas A&M, tied for seventh.
If the cut were today: 1. Wake Forest, 2. Texas, T-3. Arizona, Iowa State, 5. U.C. Davis
What to watch for Wednesday: Whether ninth-seeded U.C. Davis can play spoiler. Only two teams carded better scores in the second round than U.C. Davis, with the Aggies a shot ahead of Purdue for the final spot. With the final round coming Wednesday, U.C. Davis will have to wait before its gets a chance to play its way into nationals.
Norman Regional
Team leader: Stanford, 16 under
Individual leaders: Hsin Tai Lin, Northwestern; Ashley Yun, Northwestern; Meja Ortengren, Stanford; 5 under
The hook: The top team in the country is comfortably ahead of the cut line after the second round, which was completed Monday afternoon. Northwestern was brilliant in the second round, shooting 10 under and is five shots behind the Cardinal. Meanwhile, Tulsa is looking to steal a bid, tied for fifth with North Carolina with 18 holes to go.
If the cut were today: 1. Stanford, 2. Northwestern, 3. Michigan State, 4. Baylor, T-5. Tulsa, North Carolina
What to watch for Wednesday: Baylor (1 over), Tulsa, North Carolina and host Oklahoma (3 over) are separates by four shots in positions 4-7. Come Wednesday, it'll likely be those teams battling for the final two spots. Can Tulsa steal a bit yet again? Can Oklahoma do the same on its home course?

Fullerton soccer's Antonio Campos, son of star Jorge Campos, leans on family after fire
Antonio Campos carries the blood of his legendary father, former Galaxy and Mexican national team goalkeeper Jorge Campos. Perhaps more important, he carries his family's resilience after they worked to recover from the loss of their home in the Palisades fire. During Antonio Campos' first season with the Cal State Fullerton soccer team, he seeks to write his own story and help his team win. 'Just being in college is a success. I feel blessed,' said Antonio, who is studying business while fighting for minutes as a Division I goalkeeper. He was born in Los Angeles and grew up in the Pacific Palisades area, the second son of Jorge Campos and Canadian Marcy Raston. His sisters chose to focus on volleyball: Andrea, the eldest, recently signed with a professional club in France after a successful college career. Antonio, on the other hand, was torn between basketball and soccer. At Loyola High, he played point guard, although his height, at 6 feet, limited his minutes. 'Michael Jordan inspired me to play several sports,' said Antonio, who also played baseball and volleyball. Training sessions with his father during the COVID-19 pandemic led Antonio to eventually focus on soccer and the goalkeeper position. 'With my dad, everything is intense. Lots of training on the beach, reflexes, technique, cutting crosses. Things he did better than anyone else,' said Antonio, who does not shy away from his surname but does not want it to define him. 'I don't feel pressure. I prefer to teach the values my father instilled in me,' Antonio said. He is part of the first generation in his family to attend college in the U.S. and he knows that his path extends beyond soccer. In Mexico, Antonio also didn't feel he had much of a future, as his own father, Jorge, criticized goalkeeper trainers in that country last year. 'It's incredible that after 30 years, 40 years, we don't have a modern goalkeeper, of that style, like Manuel Neuer, Ter Stegen,' Jorge said in a recent interview with ESPN. Antonio was drawn to Cal State Fullerton as more than just a place to improve his soccer skills. The team's philosophy, focused on service, ambition and personal development, resonated with him and his family. 'We emphasize being good people. If you go far, you'll be better socially and culturally,' explained George Kuntz, the Titans' veteran coach. Antonio had had doubts about playing college soccer. 'I didn't want to play at the university level because first-year goalkeepers hardly ever play,' he said. However, he was assured that everyone would have real opportunities if they earned them through training. Between the posts, he will have to fight for minutes against quality teammates Eoin Kennedy, Asger Hemmer and Emanuel Padilla. Fullerton opens the regular season on Thursday at Oral Roberts in Tulsa, Okla. 'I want to play, yes, but I also want my teammates to improve. It's not just about me,' Antonio said. In 2024, the Titans stood out for their offensive prowess, but they also ranked among the worst teams in the country in goals conceded. That's why Fullerton reinforced its defense with four goalkeepers on the roster. Antonio is emerging as one of the promising players, with an athletic profile and an ambitious personality that has impressed the coaching staff. 'He's brave, has good technique and is improving tactically,' Kuntz said. Earlier this year, Antonio's focus was pulled away from soccer by a family emergency. In January, the Campos family home was one of more than 6,800 destroyed by the Palisades fire. 'We lost everything. I couldn't get anything out,' said Antonio, who still gets emotional while talking about his family's loss. That day, he thought about going home, but he decided to go to soccer training after receiving a message from a friend. The change of plans kept him safe. Antonio was accustomed to evacuations and didn't worry about the nearby fires. But after learning that his home had burned down, the loss was both material and emotional. 'My mom was devastated. It was her first home in this country,' said Antonio, who highlighted his father's strength. 'What surprised me was seeing my dad laughing and joking the next day. I never saw him cry. He set an example for us.' Among the lost items, Antonio regrets he could not save a necklace that his uncle gave him before he died. 'He supported me when I quit basketball. He told me I was going to be a professional. It hurt me to lose that,' Antonio said. However, the fire also brought the family closer together. 'The most important thing for me was that my family was safe,' Antonio said. Now, the Campos family lives a few miles from Antonio's new university while Antonio works to create his own story on the pitch — one that he hopes, like his father's, can inspire others.

Northwestern OT Caleb Tiernan moving up NFL Draft boards
It's back to school season, and that means back to football. As a new season dawns, we look at another player that is about to break out and enter the top tier of draft prospects. Northwestern is coming off a 4-8 season, and they're projected to not really be much better this season. However, they have a top talent on both sides of the line. It's hard to find a college football practice field with a more scenic backdrop, as the Wildcats work out everyday at the same place they temporarily play their home games- Northwestern Medicine Field. On the picturesque shores of beautiful Lake Michigan, there might be a ferocious individual battle going on between stellar offensive tackle Caleb Tiernan and elite edge rusher Anto Saka. Tiernan, a 6-7, 329 pound senior OT, and Detroit Country Day School graduate with stratospheric potential, is #30 on CBS's big board. At NFL Mock Draft Database, he's listed at #60. As a former four star recruit, the Livonia, MI native chose NU over the Big Ten's big three from the former East division: Ohio State, Michigan and Penn State. We'll see how the season, and then later the draft exploration process shapes out, but as of right now, Tiernan and Saka would likely go very high. The bar has been set for Northwestern performances at the the NFL Draft. That came in 2021, when they had not just one, but two first round picks, for the first time in school history: offensive lineman Rashawn Slater went 13th overall to the Los Angeles Chargers while cornerback Greg Newsome II was taken 26th overall by the Cleveland Browns.
