Cori Dyke scores late goal in the Orlando Pride's 1-0 win over the Houston Dash
Cori Dyke scored her first National Women's Soccer League goal in the ninth minute of second-half stoppage time to give the Orlando Pride a 1-0 win over the Houston Dash on Saturday night. Elsewhere in the NWSL, the Kansas City Current won 2-1 on the road over NJ/NY Gotham FC; Angel City was held to a 2-2 tie by the Chicago Stars in Los Angeles; and Bay FC defeated the Portland Thorns 1-0 at home. In the dying moments at Inter & Co Stadium, the ball ricocheted to Dyke's feet after a save from Dash goalkeeper Abby Smith. Dyke, who was subbed into the game at halftime, settled the ball quickly with one touch and unleashed a shot inside the near post on the half volley. A defensive Houston side, which started the game without a recognized center forward, withstood a barrage of pressure from Orlando in the second half. The Pride (7-3-1) finished with 22 shot attempts. Smith made seven saves, while nine shots were blocked by Dash players. The Dash (3-6-2) are now winless in three games. Temwa Chawinga and Michelle Cooper scored and notched an assist each as the first-place Kansas City Current defeated NJ/NY Gotham FC 2-1 at Sports Illustrated Stadium on Saturday. The Current (9-2-0), who have won four in a row, took an early lead with Cooper opening the scoring in the third minute. The U.S. women's national team forward drilled the ball into the net from 10 yards out after Chawinga had intercepted a pass from Emily Sonnett just outside the box. Cooper returned the favor when her low cross was finished off by Chawinga to make it 2-0 in the 11th minute. Chawinga took one touch to evade Gotham goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger, before finishing. Gotham (3-5-3) pulled a goal back in the 11th minute of stoppage time via an own goal by Vanessa DiBernardo. Rose Lavelle made her first appearance of the season for Gotham after ankle surgery in December 2024. The U.S. Olympian came off the bench to replace Taryn Torres in the 74th minute. Mary Alice Vignola scored the equalizer in the 80th minute and Angel City salvaged a 2-2 with the Chicago Stars. Angel City (4-4-3) took a 1-0 lead into halftime on Kennedy Fuller's goal from inside the box in the 29th minute. Chicago (1-8-2) made it 1-1 just before the hour mark when an attempted cross from substitute Nadia Gomes took a wild deflection and looped over the head of goalkeeper Angelina Anderson. The Stars went up 2-1 up when Ally Schlegel scored from 25-yards out in the 66th minute. Anderson got one hand to the shot but could only tip the ball onto the crossbar and into the back of the net. Vignola rocketed in a rebound from close range to make it 2-2. The tie was Alexander Straus' first game as Angel City head coach. Straus, who has never previously coached in the NWSL, arrived from Bayern Munich last week. Alyssa Malonson scored her first career NWSL goal and Bay FC overcame the Portland Thorns 1-0 at PayPal Park. The Bay defender ran onto a pass by Penelope Hocking and smashed the ball into the roof of the Portland goal from a tight angle in the 39th minute. The Thorns finished the game with 55% possession and with 16 shots to Bay's 10. The loss ended a five-match undefeated streak for Portland (4-3-4). While Bay (4-4-3) picked up its fourth clean sheet of the season. Bay is the first team to prevent Portland from scoring since April 18.

Create Account Dyke, 48, will be receiving the longest ever sentence for sexually offending against children handed down in Saskatchewan. Seventeen years in the slammer. Now, that's not to say our the shockingly naive Supreme Court of Canada won't see their way clear to spring Dyke on the public well ahead of schedule. But for now, Dyke — who prosecutors estimate had at least 33 victims over decades — has pleaded guilty to 10 criminal charges. Among the beefs? Making child pornography, sexual interference and voyeurism. Crown Prosecutor Stephen Yusuff said Dyke had been an avid collector of child pornography since at least 1997. This reminded me of former Department of National Defence scientist Blair Evans, whose work and home computers were chock-full of the evil filth.

Please try again This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Blair Evans made collecting child pornography his full-time job. At the time, 1997, cops estimated that Evans' full-time job was, in reality, downloading child pornography. Back in Moose Jaw, each of the counts against Dyke featured multiple victims. The victims ranged from infants to teens, the Crown said. Oddly, the 17-year prison sentence (minus dead time) was part of a joint submission between the prosecution and defence. Judge Brian Hendrickson said he would 'almost certainly' sign off on the deal. 'If you accept the joint submission we are proposing today, you will be imposing on Mr. Dyke the highest-ever sentence for sexual offending against children in Saskatchewan,' Yusuff told the judge. The child pornography comprised a large number of the charges against Dyke. One of his favourite methods was using a hidden camera. There was no shortage of close-ups of children's genitals. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The long sentence proposed for child pornography enthusiast Richard Dyke will be the longest of its kind in Saskatchewan. In one series of images, an adult male hand touches the children's privates. Dyke said the hand was his. Then he had the victims masturbate him. In addition, he showed child pornography to other children. Dyke was busted in November 2023 and has been on ice in the local jail every since. 'There is no justification for what I did. As I sat in remand and thought of my situation, I've come to the conclusion I will never try to define why. There are no words on how remorseful I am for committing these crimes,' Dyke told the court, apologizing to the victims and those close to him for the 'pain, hurt and trauma I've caused.' He also apologized to his partner and his former wife of 20 years. Read More This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. But the hard time awaiting Dyke is the exception rather than the rule in Canada. Earlier this month, B.C.'s Caleb Janzen, 36, was sentenced to just one year in jail after his treasure trove of 12,000 twisted child porn images were discovered. He pleaded guilty to possessing child abuse materials. Again, the Crown and defence submitted a joint sentence calling for a two-year conditional sentence followed by 18 months of probation. The judge rejected the sentence and instead imposed a one-year custodial sentence on Janzen. One year. That's it. Sadly, the judge thought she was being Ms. Law and Order. So for Dyke to face 17 years, well, that's very unusual particularly given our times and when you consider the latest push from academia is to rebrand pedophiles as 'Minor Attracted Persons.' Denizens of the faculty lounge are not going to like the implications of Dyke's long sentence. Not one bit. bhunter@ @HunterTOSun Canada Toronto Maple Leafs Columnists Golf Columnists
