Battling an illness, Alyssa Thulin strikes back with goal as Providence rallies past St. Laurence. ‘Just amazing.'
Providence's Alyssa Thulin couldn't believe the horrible timing she dealt with Friday morning. The junior midfielder awoke on the biggest day of the season to this point — and she was sick. Sick enough to warrant a trip to the doctor, a visit that didn't provide Thulin any encouragement that she would be able to play soccer in a few hours. 'I woke up feeling really miserable,' Thulin said. 'I went to the doctor and he told me I had strep throat. I went home, rested up and got here right before warm-ups. 'I didn't think I was going to be able to play, but I got here and I was able to play and I tried my best.' Thulin felt well enough to rescue the Celtics and help keep their undefeated season alive. Her goal sparked a big comeback as Providence erased a 1-0 halftime deficit and pulled out a 3-1 victory over St. Laurence in the Class 2A Kankakee Sectional championship game. Gabby Tylka and Maggie Wolniakowski also scored for the top-seeded Celtics (22-0-2), while Thulin and Giuliana Savarino each added an assist and Claire Wajda made four saves. It's the second straight sectional title and third in program history for Providence, which will take on Peoria Notre Dame (24-1-1) at 6 p.m. Tuesday in the downstate Washington Supersectional. It's a rematch of last year's supersectional, won 4-0 by Notre Dame. 'It's been really amazing,' Thulin said. 'My freshman year, we barely won five games. To go to supersectionals last year and to do it again, and hopefully win supersectionals this year, it's just amazing.' Valerie Dominguez scored a goal and Marissa Amador finished with nine saves for second-seeded St. Laurence (18-5-2). The Vikings led 1-0 at halftime before Thulin came through, volleying in Savarino's corner kick to tie the game with 29:21 to go. 'I wasn't feeling well at that time, so it felt really good to get that first goal and get us all energized,' Thulin said. 'After we scored that first goal, we got our energy back and realized we were still in this.' Just 41 seconds later, Tylka — a freshman midfielder — gave the Celtics the lead. Providence coach Mike Taylor was confident things would turn around once his team broke through. 'Alyssa, being out here with strep throat, played awesome,' Taylor said. 'She started it off, putting that ball in the back of the net. We know once we score that first one, you're not stopping us.' Thulin ranks second on the team with 16 goals and third with 15 assists. When Tylka heard about Thulin's illness, though, she was concerned. To say the least. 'I was like, 'How am I going to play in the middle?'' Tylka said. 'I didn't know if she was able to walk or what was going on. She really pulled through. It was insane.' Tylka credits Thulin with helping her score 10 goals as a freshman. The duo has quickly developed a bond in the midfield. 'Alyssa, I'm always looking up to her,' Tylka said. 'We're always connecting in the middle. Coach (Taylor) says that the engine of the car is in the middle and that's her for us. 'She's always there, passing and getting assists for us and then scoring goals, too.' Thulin was thrilled to be there to provide the power Friday night. It's something she didn't think was going to happen earlier in the day. 'I just had to think to myself, 'You need to go out 100%. Just ignore it, as hard as it may be, because you need to play for the team,'' Thulin said. 'I didn't want to miss this game. 'I'm really happy I got to play.'

Providence guard Jabri Abdur-Rahim wants to showcase overall ability in workouts
Providence guard Jabri Abdur-Rahim wants to showcase overall ability in workouts After five years in college, Providence guard Jabri Abdur-Rahim is eager to showcase his overall skill set in upcoming team workouts ahead of the 2025 NBA draft. Abdur-Rahim averaged 7.2 points and 2.6 rebounds on 36.6% shooting from 3-point range. He scored in double figures seven times, including a season-high 27 points, seven rebounds and two assists in a loss to St. John's on Feb. 1. The 6-foot-7 forward was limited to 22 appearances with the Friars due to a season-ending injury in February. He is now completely recovered from the injury and had the opportunity to work out with the Sacramento Kings on Thursday, his first this draft cycle. "I'm going to compete," Abdur-Rahim said of what he is attempting to show in workouts, via Brandon Benitez of KOVR-TV. "I feel like people watching me through my college career know that I can shoot the ball, but I just want to show that I'm vocal, I can be a leader, I can compete, I can adjust on the fly and I fit the NBA game." Abdur-Rahim, the son of former 12-year NBA veteran Shareef Abdur-Rahim, played the first year of his career at Virginia before transferring to Georgia for the next three seasons. He established himself as a knockdown shooter who can also defend with his 6-foot, 10-inch wingspan. The 23-year-old competed in the G League Elite Camp earlier this month, recording 10 points, three rebounds and three assists in two scrimmage games. He also participated in various other on-court drills and measurement testing. Abdur-Rahim will have additional opportunities to continue working out with teams and preparing himself for the next step. With the help of his father and others in his corner, Richardson is prepared for what the next three-plus weeks will bring on and off the court. "Everything I know is from him," Abdur-Rahim said. "He taught me how to play. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't even be close to the player that I am. He is still helping me to this day. He is extremely important in my life and I appreciate him for everything."

Sarah Jessica Parker's three kids seen in VERY rare graduation photo as she reveals plans for her nepo babies
and his wife of 28 years, Sarah Jessica Parker, proudly celebrated their eldest child's graduation from Brown University in Providence, RI on Tuesday. James Wilkie Broderick Instastoried a snap of himself wearing his ceremonial robe over a suit alongside his 15-year-old twin sisters Tabitha and Loretta. Liviya Kraemer - who co-produced SJP's HBO series Divorce - also Instastoried a snap of the 22-year-old nepo baby after earning his degree in classics, classical languages, literatures, and linguistics. The 60-year-old former child star made it clear that she and the 63-year-old Only Murders in the Building actor are not planning on bankrolling the lives of their three children with their reported combined $245M fortune. 'You want for them to be pursuing things that are exciting and challenging and hard and gratifying,' Sarah explained to E! News on Wednesday. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop 'And [we want them] to be able to ultimately take care of themselves, support themselves - emotionally, financially - and that they can be in the world and be a reliable person to themselves and to other people. And so we talk about work like that.' Parker said she's 'curious to see what they all do' but she hopes they'll feel like 'they have choices and that there isn't one way.' James - who boasts 29K Instagram followers - made money as a full-time sales associate at NYC boutique Reiss from 2023-2024. And back in 2020, Broderick worked as a seasonal server at the Main Street Tavern in Amagansett, NY not far from his parents' $29.9M Bridgehampton home. But the Entertainment 360-repped actor scored a guest-star gig as Carl in the February 20th episode of CBS' anthology crime series Elsbeth alongside his famous father. 'It was great. We had two days together,' Matthew recalled to E! News last month. 'It was really fun to hang around the craft service table and eat snacks. He was nervous but he got over that. We had a great couple of days.' And last July, James portrayed the country club valet in the first episode of Apple TV+ miniseries Lady in the Lake starring Natalie Portman. As for Tabitha and Loretta's acting aspirations, the two-time Tony winner said: 'One of them definitely is not, she says, right now, but I don't think so.' This summer, Matthew will reunite with his Ferris Bueller's Day Off co-star Alan Ruck in Jon Turteltaub's remake of 2019 French road trip comedy, The Best Is Yet to Come - according to Deadline. And later this year, Broderick will fly to the UK and the Netherlands to film Simon Bird's WWII-era comedy Pretend I'm Not Here alongside Sally Hawkins and Martin Freeman. Meanwhile, Sarah executive produced and reprised her role as wealthy widowed author Carrie Bradshaw in the third season of Michael Patrick King's SATC continuation And Just Like That, which premieres this Thursday on HBO Max. In the season two finale, Aidan Shaw (John Corbett) informed Carrie he needed a five-year break from her in order to focus on his troubled teenage son after she sold her beloved West Village apartment to fit his three sons. Variety reported that Parker, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis all earned $10M paychecks to executive produce and star in season one, but it's unclear if they've since received raises.
