FLUSHING, N.Y. –Behind a composed and balanced performance on both sides of the ball, Pace University Women’s Volleyball earned a 3-1 win over Queens College on Saturday afternoon inside Fitzgerald Gymnasium. The Setters set the tone early and responded strongly to mid-match adversity to improve their record to 9-3 on the season. Pace claimed the match by set scores of 25-22, 13-25, 25-12, and 25-23.

Pace opened the match with steady offensive pressure in the first set, converting 12 kills and taking advantage of late errors by the hosts to edge out a 25-22 win. Queens responded with a strong second frame, hitting .308 and evening the match with a 25-13 decision. The Setters quickly regained control in the third, producing their best offensive set of the day with a .273 attack percentage while limiting Queens to a negative hitting clip. Pace carried that momentum into the fourth, fending off a late rally from the Knights to clinch the match with a 25-23 victory.

Kadence Ackmann led the way with 13 kills to go along with two aces, 11 digs, and three total blocks, finishing with a match-high 16.5 points. Keelah Chambliss provided a major lift as well, tallying 12 kills on .269 hitting. Cyanna Shirley added six kills, while Jaliyah Johnson and Ileann Alessandra Perez chipped in six and five kills, respectively. Setter Aralyn Saulys orchestrated the offense with 21 assists and 10 digs for a double-double, while Skyler Tennant added six assists and a team-high 12 digs from the back row.

Defensively, the Setters held Queens to a .089 hitting percentage for the match, piling up 64 digs and 12 total blocks. Emily Cineus led at the net with five block assists, while Perez and Shirley combined for key blocks down the stretch in the decisive fourth set.

The Setters finished with 44 kills, 10 aces, and 12 total blocks across the four sets, marking their seventh win in their last eight matches.

Pace returns to action on Friday, October 10, when the Setters open Northeast-10 Conference play on the road at Bentley University. First serve is scheduled for 6 p.m. in Waltham, MA.

The Golden Eagles (9-3, 5-0 CCAA) picked up their sixth straight win with a 25-19, 20-25, 25-21, 25-14 victory over the Cougars. Cal State LA’s six-game winning streak is its longest since its triumphant 6-0 run through the NCAA playoffs in the run to the 2023 national championship.

FARMINGDALE, N.Y. — Rory McIlroy was nowhere to be found.

Two years after he had called his shot and predicted a win at Bethpage Black, Shane Lowry’s birdie putt on the 18th green Sunday transformed McIlroy’s comments from confident to prophetic. The celebration, however, had started without him.

A gleeful Lowry bounced to the tune of a heavily European crowd that serenaded him with chants. Jon Rahm hugged fellow Spaniard and vice captain José María Olazábal — captain of the last team to win a road cup in 2012 — who cried on his shoulder. European captain Luke Donald was finally able to exhale.

McIlroy had lost his blockbuster singles match against Scottie Scheffler 1-down and for a moment, the chance of being on the wrong end of the biggest collapse in Ryder Cup history appeared plausible. Down 12-5, the United States team had mounted a comeback and made the Ryder Cup as close as everyone thought it could be.

Suddenly, every point mattered. Suddenly, the United States fans had come alive, chanting for their team and cheering on its golfers rather than jeering at the Europeans. Suddenly, McIlroy had to rely on anyone but himself.

“It obviously was really tight there at the end,” McIlroy said. “It was a bit stressful.”

So McIlroy stayed out on the course, bouncing between Tyrrell Hatton’s match and Robert MacIntyre’s, trying to add support with sheer presence alone. Even when Lowry’s putt that retained the cup dropped, he remained out there through the final match that gave Europe victory on a knife’s edge: 15-13.

“It’s nice to be right. I’m not right all the time,” McIlroy said of his prediction. “I think when we won in Rome, the wheels were set in motion to try to do something that had not been done in over a decade. We believed a lot in our continuity.”

Beyond returning 11 of 12 players from Rome, there is a certain cohesion with this European team that is perhaps difficult to distill but easy to see. It’s there in the way the golfers celebrate when they win a hole or a match, but also in the way they respond when they don’t. It’s palpable when the first place they go to upon making a crucial putt is to relish in the moment with their partner. It’s evident when even the way they embrace projects a kind of closeness that doesn’t signal business partner but rather brother in arms.

PGA Tour, 72-hole stroke play golf requires an immense amount of concentration and focus. It is a singular endeavor that demands patience and rewards consistency more than aggression. Match play and alternate shot format do too, but over the past two Ryder Cups, it has become clear that while the Americans view those formats as obstacles to overcome with talent, the Europeans see it as an opportunity to showcase their unity (they are 14-2 in foursomes over that time). Team play is, unequivocally, their strength and what allowed them to both race out to an insurmountable lead this week and also stem the red tide of points that won or tied 11 of 12 singles matches Sunday.

In nearly every Ryder Cup over the past 12 years, the United States has held the talent advantage. It’s what has led to dominant wins at Whistling Straits in 2021 and Hazeltine in 2016. But even in losses, Europeans found glimmers of joy, in part because of the way they view this week.

“Ryder Cup weeks are the best weeks of our lives,” Donald said. “I think those weeks we spend together are the ones we remember the most and the ones we cherish the most because of the time we get to spend with each other. That’s a big part of my captaincy is to create an environment where these guys are having the best weeks of their lives, honestly.”

It is easy to chalk up the European’s stunning performance through the first two days of this year’s event to things outside of the American’s control.

“They made more putts.” Keegan Bradley said multiple times.

“Luck was on their side,” Bryson DeChambeau said Friday.

Maybe it is that simple. But time and again, Europe has preached and proved that it’s not. That it takes chemistry as much as it takes data. That it takes emotion as much as it takes talent and that it takes precision off the course as much as on it.

“The level of professionalism he’s shown us the last four years,” Jon Rahm said of Donald. “His attention to detail …”

“His communication skills …” McIlroy added.

On Sunday, with the cup already in his hands, Donald allowed a peek into just what some of that looks like. There is the fact that the European uniforms were designed after what each of the past four teams that won on away soil wore, but that’s just where things begin.

Donald said the hotel room where the team is staying this week had cracks in the doors that let light in so they patched them up. He said that the bedding in the rooms only had sheets so they changed it to make it more comfortable for players. He said they swapped out the shampoo in the rooms for one with better smell and better quality.

“It’s just taking the time and having the care that you want to do everything you can to kind of give these guys the best opportunity,” Donald said. “You want to create an environment where they can succeed.”

Perhaps the greatest feat this particular European team has achieved is that, under Donald, they have mastered the balance between preparing for what is tangible — be it exact pairings, bed sheets, time zone differences or nailing down what skill the venue requires — while perfecting the intangible.

“I feel like the power of this, the power of the group, who knows what it is, that ability to lock in, the ability to just want it that little bit more,” Justin Rose said when asked about being the best putter in the Ryder Cup for the second straight time. “The answer to your question is I don’t know, other than the badge and the boys, honestly. That’s all that matters, honestly, the badge and the boys.”

Late Sunday afternoon, with both retention and victory in hand, McIlroy finally made the climb up the 18th, red-faced and running on empty. For three days, he had entered the cauldron of Long Island on a mission, endured it through heckles and insults from American fans, and emerged from it vindicated and victorious, ready to be drowned by a multitude of European supporters who had been waiting to chant his name.

“Roooooory! Roooooory!”

When the Europeans won at Medinah in 2012, he was only 21 years old, playing in his second Ryder Cup. Now, here McIlroy was 36, a Grand Slam champion and at the center of another away victory like a perfect bookend.

“We’ll always remember this. We’ll always go down in history,” Donald said. “Future generations will talk about this team tonight and what they did and how they were able to overcome one of the toughest environments in all of sport and that’s what is inspiring to me, that’s what Rory gets and all these other 11 guys get, as well.”

As Donald finished his answer, sitting next to him, McIlroy wiped the tears from his eyes.

WORCESTER, Mass. – After playing three consecutive road matches, Lehigh volleyball played a fourth on Saturday evening from Hart Center Arena against the Holy Cross Crusaders. The Mountain Hawks picked up their first Patriot League win of the season in a five-set thriller over the Crusaders.

“It took grit, it was a tough match,” said head coach Shawn McLaughlin. “I was most proud that we were resilient and found ways to fight back. Props to Holy Cross because they played really well, but I thought we figured some things out and it was very fun to watch us be resilient in some of those moments.”

Lehigh (7-6, 1-3 PL) and Holy Cross (4-12, 0-4 PL) were engaged in a very competitive first set, which the Mountain Hawks ultimately won 25-22. The Mountain Hawks collected 13 kills in the frame to the Crusaders’ 12, but a .290 to .194 disparity in hitting percentage helped Lehigh win the first set.

Holy Cross responded in a big way in set two, winning by a score of 25-17. The Crusaders posted their match-best hitting percentage of .351 in the frame while committing only one attacking error. Lehigh returned the favor in set three, dominating the Holy Cross 25-11 to take a 2-1 lead in the match. The Mountain Hawks out-hit the Crusaders .346 to -.188 in the third.

With their backs against the wall, the Crusaders once again showed up, earning another 25-17 win in set four. The win set up a winner-take-all fifth set, which both teams desperately needed to win to avoid a 0-4 start to Patriot League play. The Mountain Hawks’ offense shined in the fifth set, hitting a scorching .478 on route to the team’s first Patriot League win of the season and McLaughlin’s first of his career.

“Out of 101 of [Abby Felkai’s] assists, we terminated over 40%,” said McLaughlin. “That’s what we’re looking for from an offensive standpoint; when the setter is running the offense that our hitters are going off.”

Junior Ufuoma Omene was spectacular offensively, tallying a career-high 19 kills on a highly efficient .429 hitting percentage. First-year Mary Massias also enjoyed a breakout game, reaching a career-high 18 kills. Senior Natalie Luscomb was also integral to Lehigh’s success, reaching 15 kills on a .438 hitting percentage while providing the game-winning kill in the fifth set.

“We’ve been working a lot on [our hitters’] ability to move the ball as attackers,” said McLaughlin. “I thought they did a great job today of moving the ball as attackers and finding different areas on the court to score. Our hitters were very confident with their swings and very purposeful. We know that both Ufuoma and Mary are both super physical, but to see them both engaged in the learning process is what I’m looking for.”

One day after setting a new career-high in assists, Abby Felkai did it again, dishing out a career-best 42 assists in the win. Senior Madison McCartney led the team with six total blocks while sophomore Sophia Bond paced Lehigh with 20 digs.

Emma Sorensen led the Crusaders offensively with a match-high 20 kills on a .333 hitting percentage.

The Mountain Hawks return to Leeman-Turner Arena at Grace Hall on Friday, October 3 at 7 p.m. to take on Navy.

“It’s been five weekends in a row of volleyball, and we’ve only been home for one of those,” said McLaughlin. “We’re really excited to back in Grace Hall in front our fans.”

Kelani Jordan is said to be fine after a scary spot during the Knockouts title match against Lei Ying Lee at TNA Victory Road.

Jordan appeared to be attempting a hurricanrana from the ring apron to the floor, but she hit the back of her head hard on the landing. However, she popped up immediately afterward and continued the match.

Our own Bryan Alvarez reports that the word from TNA is Jordan “seems fine†following the spot.

A clip of the spot is available below:

Painful botch on #TNAVictoryRoad during the Knockouts World Championship match. It looks like #NXTâ€s Kelani Jordan was going for a hurricanrana and Lei Ying Lee couldnâ€t support her, resulting in Jordanâ€s back being slammed into the floor. Not a great night for botches after… pic.twitter.com/NSG7PRd2qV

Ash By Elegance announced she was vacating the TNA Knockouts Championship at Victory Road last night in Edmonton. This led to a change to the lineup as a battle royal was scheduled, with the final two participants facing off in a singles match later in the show to crown a new champion. Jordan then defeated Lee to become the 68th champion in the titleâ€s lineage and the 30th wrestler to ever win the belt.

“TNA” has a new Knockouts Champion in “WWE NXT” Superstar Kelani Jordan. She defeated Léi Ying Lee (formerly known as Xia Li in WWE) at Victory Road to become champion.

Earlier in the night, Ash By Elegance unexpectedly vacated her championship. While she didn’t go into detail, she said “I am no longer able to compete and do what I love to do. So with that being said, I’m stepping away from in-ring competition. And with a heavy heart, I have to forfeit this title.” She was originally scheduled to defend her title against Masha Slamovich, who is currently under investigation by TNA for domestic violence allegations.

With the title being vacated suddenly, an impromptu battle royal took place to determine the two women who would compete for the title. Heather By Elegance, M By Elegance, Jody Threat, Jessie McKay, Cassie Lee, Xia Brookside, and Lili La Pescidita competed alongside Lee and Jordan in a match that lasted less than five minutes. Indi Hartwell will be challenging for the title at Bound For Glory and was the special guest referee for the match between Jordan and Lee. Following the match, Ash By Elegance held Jordan’s hand in the air.

Jordan was the inaugural NXT North American Champion and she held the title for 140 days. WWE and TNA have a multi-year partnership. Since the partnership began, NXT’s Jacy Jayne has held the Knockouts title (Ash defeated her last month at “NXT Heatwave”) and Trick Williams is the current World Champion. This week on “NXT”, a TNA invasion began with several TNA talent showing up at the WWE Performance Center.

Notes from Fridayâ€s TNA Victory Road event.

Along with a new TNA Knockouts Champion, a new International Champion was crowned on Friday. Kazarian emerged as the new champion after Steve Maclin was distracted by AAAâ€s El Mesias, who appeared at ringside. Maclin took out Mesias with a dive, but immediately got back up. That gave Kazarian an opening, kicking the ropes as Maclin was re-entering the ring then followed up with a slingshot cutter to become the new International Champion.

Earlier in the night, Mustafa Ali faced off against Moose, with the winnerâ€s team getting the advantage in the upcoming Hardcore War bout at Bound for Glory next month. The finish came when the belly dancers for Aliâ€s entrance surrounded the ring. One of them snuck up from behind and low blowed Moose, allowing Ali to hit the 450 splash for the win, giving his team the advantage heading into Bound for Glory.

Originally, the Elegance Brand (Heather & M by Elegance) were set to defend the Knockouts Tag Team titles against The IInspriation on Friday. However, after Ash by Elegance announced she would have to step away from in-ring competition and vacate the Knockouts title, Santino Marella announced the Knockouts Tag Team title match would be moved to this Thursdayâ€s Impact Wrestling.Â

A battle royal took place instead, with Kelani Jordan and Lei Ying Lee qualifying for the title match later in the night, with Jordan becoming the new champion.

Kelani Jordan made history at TNA Victory Road by capturing the vacant Knockouts World Championship, but it was her real-life Fiancé Carmelo Hayes who delivered one of the most talked-about reactions of the night.

After TNA Wrestling announced Jordanâ€s victory in a tweet, Hayes quickly reposted it with a heartfelt message, writing: “Definition of a Champion!! Who better. Prada you @kelani_wwe â¤ï¸â€ — a play on “proud of you†mixed with a touch of style that fits both their brands.

Jordanâ€s win came after Ash by Elegance vacated the Knockouts Title at the start of the show. Life threw Ash a curveball, and she made the emotional decision to step away from in-ring competition. That left a massive hole in the division, but TNA wasted no time in finding a new champion.

A battle royal was held to determine the final two competitors who would face off later that night for the title. NXTâ€s Kelani Jordan and Léi YÇng Lee emerged as the finalists, with Indi Hartwell serving as the special guest referee. The main event delivered, featuring ringside brawling, technical wrestling, and several near-falls. After a chaotic closing sequence and a top-rope frog splash, Jordan sealed the win with her finisher and became the new Knockouts Champion.

With this victory, Jordan joins a rare group of NXT stars whoâ€ve captured gold in TNA, and she has a target on her back — especially from Indi Hartwell, whoâ€s already booked to challenge for the title.

As fans continue to celebrate Jordanâ€s big moment, Hayes†reaction serves as another reminder that these wins resonate far beyond the ring.
