Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 17:45:55 GMT

ANDOVER – The Andover field hockey team’s week started with a lack of intensity that translated into frustrating, upset loss to Central Catholic – the program’s first since 2017.It wasn’t going to end the week by making the same mistake against the Shrewsbury program it just stole a win from in the Div. 1 state semifinals last year.With a 4-1 nonleague win that featured five different players starring in new roles, the No. 7 Golden Warriors (4-1) got back on track against the No. 14 Colonials (2-3) Saturday afternoon. Four different scorers found the back of the cage, pairing with a tenacious defensive effort to mostly neutralize Shrewsbury’s offensive weapons as part of a 9-1 shots-on-goal advantage.Players in changed positions shined, as Bella DiFiore (forward) amped up the pressure in an aggressive attack, while Mia Batchelder (midfield), Casey Michael (midfield), Rose Memmolo (center-back) and Lucy MacLean (defense) helped significantly limit Colonials opportunities.“I’m honestl...

Javier Assad’s value to the Chicago Cubs cannot be defined by a singular role.The Cubs put Assad back in the bullpen Saturday with Marcus Stroman’s return to the rotation against the Colorado Rockies for his first start since July 31. But Assad’s performance in relief — four shutout innings with two hits, no walks and six strikeouts — gave the Cubs a chance to pull out a 6-3 comeback win at Wrigley Field.Yan Gomes’ two-out RBI double tied the game in the sixth, and the Cubs (81-74) went ahead the next inning on Cody Bellinger’s sacrifice fly. Assad throwing up zeros allowed the offense to chip away.The Cubs maintained their one-game lead over the Miami Marlins for the No. 3 wild-card spot with seven games remaining.“The versatility it gives you being able to get Stro started, it didn’t go the way he wanted it to, some balls falling in there,” manager David Ross said. “And then be able to bring in Javy behind him, he&#...

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — It’s almost the end of the U.N. General Assembly high-level meeting that brings world leaders together at U.N. headquarters in New York. Here are the highlights of what happened Saturday at the United Nations and what to keep an eye on Tuesday, the last day (Monday’s off for Yom Kippur). WHAT HAPPENED AT THE UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY ON SATURDAY— Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov made no mention of his country’s war in Ukraine from the dais, but was naturally asked about it in a subsequent press conference.

Both critiqued the international community’s response to the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh, albeit for different reasons.

With key losses due to graduation on both sides of the ball, St. Thomas coach Glenn Caruso knew his team’s margin for error was much smaller than it was a year ago when the Tommies went undefeated in capturing the Pioneer Football League title.On Saturday at O’Shaughnessy Stadium, the Tommies needed all but the final seconds of the game to pull out a 35-28 victory over Morehead State in the conference opener for both teams.Freshman quarterback Tak Tateoka, who took over as the Tommies’ starter, threw a 26-yard touchdown pass to Jacob Wildermuth on the Tommies’ final drive as they overcame an anemic offensive first half to stretch their home winning streak to 28 games.The Tommies scored all 35 of their points in the second half, after Caruso’s long list of complaints from the first half led to an extended stay in the halftime locker room. The Tommies were limited to six first downs and 102 yards of total offense in the first half and were never a threat to score.“We needed to explain...

Running back Nasir Robinson also dominated with over 120 yards rushing and a touchdown.“It was fun,” Robinson said. “I had a great line behind me today; the line did a good job. So I gotta thank them.”South St. Paul head coach Manuel Spreigl said running the ball was a priority coming into the game, using the team’s game last week as motivation.“Last week, we kind of got away from what I believe our identity has been,” Spreigl said. “And traditionally, the Packers have ran the ball, and we have the tools to run the ball, and we didn’t execute that last week. So you’ve gotta go back and get back to the basics and start with being who you are.”North St. Paul struggled to get things going offensively, mustering just two r...
