Orlando City stays hot as Ramiro Enrique scores twice in taking down Cincinnati • Culture shift drives Pride’s quest into ’72 Dolphins territory | Commentary
Sentinel Sports Final Sunday, October 6, 2024 | | |
| | | | | Hold your pitchforks. Billy Napier's team either isn't as bad as it appeared to be, or UCF just isn't very good -- and KJ Jefferson and Cam Newton should never be mentioned again in the same sentence. ... Orlando City went on the road and pummeled the team with the third-best record in MLS. They weren't scoring like this during the first two months of the season. Pending the Nashville-New York City result Sunday, they'll be locked in to have home-field advantage in a first-round playoff matchup ... The best chance to end the Pride 's run of 23 games unbeaten comes today vs. the Spirit. They're the second-best team in NWSL, and the league's No. 2 team in goals scored. ... The Magic look the same, but their focus is better and they have some other things going for them in this training camp. Not to mention, Wendell Carter had hand surgery this offseason to fix a recurring problem that has caused him to miss blocks of time. The Sentinel's Jason Beede has been at camp all week and has the details. ... If Vanderbilt can upset No. 1 Bama, there's no reason UCF should be 0-2 vs. mediocre Colorado and Florida. ... FSU lost yet again, but the 'Noles were at least somewhat more watchable with Brock Glenn running the show. ... The 'Canes almost lost to Cal. Can you trust anyone in college football? | | | | It should tell you something about Billy Napier that his players are still competing hard for him and aren’t looking to transfer. | | | | | Orlando City (15-11-7) can clinch homefield advantage in the first round of the MLS playoffs if New York City does not beat Nashville on Sunday. The Lions have scored 58 goals, surpassing their previous club record of 55 in 2016 and '23. | | | | | With the Wilf family in charge, they're 16-0-6 with a chance to be the first top-level women's pro soccer team in the U.S. to go unbeaten. | | | | | The team looks mostly the same from a season ago, outside of a few major additions, as it prepares for the first preseason game Monday. "They're getting better each and every single day," coach Jamahl Mosley said. | | | | | The Hurricanes climbed out of a 25-point hole to come back and beat Cal on the road. | | | | | The hope is that Beckham can provide a viable No. 3 passing option for the offense, and quarterback Tyler "Snoop" Huntley, behind wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. | | | | | Dabo Swinney picked up his 174th win at Clemson, breaking the record for victories at an ACC school — a mark held by FSU's Bobby Bowden. | | | | | In volleyball, Oviedo was second in the Nike Tournament in Arizona, while Lake Brantley won the gold division at the Swing for a Cure tourney. In cross country, the Metro East meet was won by Boone's girls and boys, while Horizon won the Harmony meet and Hagerty won the ROC race at FLRunners.com. | | | | | The Knights fell behind by double-digits in the first half to Florida and failed to get anything going in a 24-13 loss. | | | | | Unbeaten Orlando has been in top form. A win Sunday would be the 17th this season to tie an NWSL record and claim the NWSL Shield. | | | | | Sedrick Alexander ran for 2 touchdowns, Randon Fontenette scored on a pick-six and Diego Pavia outplayed Heisman Trophy candidate Jalen Milroe as Vanderbilt stunned Alabama 40-35 on Saturday for the Commodores' first win over the nation's top-ranked team. | | | | | The Jaguars might be even more desperate given how their season is unfolding. They know only one NFL team — the 1992 San Diego Chargers — have made the playoffs following an 0-4 start. | | | | | The Lions, ranked No. 11 in this week's Sentinel Super 16 Coaches Poll, put up 28 unanswered points and capitalized on 6 turnovers to prevail in a non-district matchup. | | | | | As well as the offense played in the opening half the past two games, the Bucs scored 9 points in the second half of a 33-16 win over the Eagles. They were limited to 6 points on a pair of field go… | | | |
