What shaped up as a battle between Top 25 teams turned into a match that one team was able to run away with this weekend at West Point.
The Army West Point Black Knights women’s lacrosse team defeated the Navy Midshipmen, 17-12, in a match that is part of the two schools’ annual “Star Series” rivalry.
The victory clinched the overall Star Series for Army with a 14-12 score, marking the first time since 2013-14 that Army has won the series outright.
The No. 24 Black Knights (10-2, 5-1 in Patriot League) claimed a star point with the win the same day the Army men beat the Navy men in overtime. The No. 20 Midshipmen (9-5, 4-2 in Patriot League) found themselves in rally mode the entire match after Army took a 7-1 lead in after the first quarter.
Gabrielle Mirak started the onslaught by scoring the Black Knights’ first goal in the first minute of the contest at Michie Stadium.
Ryan Remaly gave Army a 2-0 lead, followed by goals from Allison Reilly and Brigid Duffy to make it 4-0 midway. Army poured it on with goals from Mirak and Reilly, followed by a tally from Chloe Garrett.
As Army’s defense held Navy to five shots in the first 15 minutes and forced five turnovers, Taylor Miles ended the Black Knights’ scoring run late in the first quarter.
The Midshipmen did what they could to try and cut the margin, but the Black Knights had another great third quarter, scoring four goal and holding Navy to just one score, making the Midshipmen’s fourth-quarter rally cosmetic.
Reilly led the Black Knights with six goals and eight points while Duffy had an all-around stellar game with four ground balls, four caused turnovers and nine draw controls to go along with two points.
Lindsey Serafine made nine saves in goal for the Black Knights to earn her third career win over the Midshipmen.
Seven Midshipmen combined for 12 goals, including five that finished with multiple scores — Alyssa Chung, Tori DiCarlo, Emma Kennedy, Mikayla Williams, and Ava Yovino had two goals each. Emily Messinese and Miles scored one goal.
DiCarlo and Kennedy added two assists each with Chung and Messinese were also credited with helpers.
Army heads to Holy Cross for a Wednesday Patriot League contest, while Navy heads to Lehigh on Wednesday.

Steph Curry's Brother-In-Law Discloses Untold NBA Story to Cameron Brink
Fans have known that Steph Curry is arguably the greatest showman in NBA history for quite some time now, but Curry's brother-in-law and former teammate Damion Lee revealed that Curry uses his own highlights as motivation in moments where many fans would least expect it. During a recent appearance on WNBA star Cameron Brink's "Straight 2 Cam" podcast, Lee revealed that Curry would search his own name at halftime to watch his highlights and to see what fans and the broadcasters had to say about his first-half highlights. "I was next to him in the locker room," Lee said. "He would type in his name on Twitter at halftime and it'd be like, oh, Stephen Curry this, whatever. He'd look at it for probably like a minute or two and scroll ,close his phone, put it down, and then go crazy in the second (half). "One time, Karith Burke, one of the reporters from the Warriors, tweeted right before halftime, 'Steph, if you see this, I want you to do airplane arms after you make a three'. He made like one three, boom, and then he made another three and then ran down doing airplane arms. He's just a big kid." Steph Curry's Connection to Cameron Brink Brink's co-host on her podcast is Curry's sister Sydel Curry-Lee. Curry-Lee married Lee in September 2018, months before he debuted with the team on a two-way contract. Brink and Steph Curry are god-siblings, as Curry's parents are Brink's godparents and vice versa. There are plenty of photographs of Brink and Curry together throughout the years, going as far back as when Brink was a baby and Steph was a young kid himself. Brink, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, recently returned to action on July 29 after missing over 13 months with a torn ACL suffered in June 2024. Brink tied her career high with five blocks in the Los Angeles Sparks' 100-91 win over the Indiana Fever on Wednesday. Brink and the Sparks will be at Curry's stomping grounds in San Francisco on Saturday, as they take on the Golden State Valkyries at the Chase Center. Curry has made one courtside appearance this summer, and Saturday may be a pretty safe bet for another. The game will tip off at 5:30 p.m. local time and will feature legitimate playoff implications as both teams battle for the eighth seed heading into the final stretch of the season.
Patriots stars react to HC Mike Vrabel getting bloodied while breaking up camp fight
New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel likely won the respect of his team Wednesday. However, he may have needed a few stitches afterward. The Patriots hosted a joint practice with the Washington Commanders at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. New England rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson took a Commanders pass-rusher to the ground in pass protection, resulting in a scuffle. Vrabel then jumped in to help stop the fight. His face was bloodied after both teams calmed down. Patriots second-year quarterback Drake Maye loved that his coach was willing to step in. In a news conference after practice, the 22-year-old passer said that's the mentality the team needs. "That's what we're trying to build," he said. "The intensity, bringing it every day, taking no cr-p when we're out on the field. But also, it comes a time where, with our guys offensively, and getting over there and getting some tussles and kind of having some penalties, and extra after the whistle, can get us in trouble. But for mentality, I like it. I mean, I almost got in there, but I think maybe another day, maybe." His new coach doesn't want the QB to get in any brawls. The Patriots are banking on the third overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft being the franchise's future. Plus, he doesn't need to worry about the Patriots' intensity with Vrabel in the building. New England wide receiver DeMario Douglas noted the former linebacker didn't seem rattled after breaking up the scrap. "I said, 'Coach, what's wrong with you?' And he said, 'You should have seen the other guy,'" Douglas told the media while smiling. "I just saw the scar on his face but didn't know what was happening." Vrabel likely sent two messages at Wednesday's practice. He won't tolerate an undisciplined team but also has his players' backs. That could go a long way for a Patriots squad aiming to improve after a 4-13 season.
NFL Hall of Famer reveals why he chose to join Deion Sanders' Colorado coaching staff
Marshall Faulk is Colorado's new running backs coach, and the Buffaloes could not ask for someone with better experience for the job. That's, of course, because this is Faulk's first coaching gig. As a player, though, there were few better than the Pro Football Hall of Famer. In 12 seasons in the NFL, he rushed 2,836 times for 12,279 yards and 100 total touchdowns. He was a league MVP, a seven-time Pro Bowler and a Super Bowl champ. Faulk was the real deal, and now he has a chance to pass his experiences on to the running backs at Colorado. For him, it's more than just the opportunity to coach football, though. He gets to coach under Deion Sanders, whom he views as a major difference-maker for the game of football. "You guys know him in a different way than I know him," Faulk said in a recent media availability (h/t On3). "We’ve been friends for many years. We worked together in television. We always talk just about the game and probably more about kids coming up in the game. How do you affect and make sure they come into the game the right way? He’s one of those way makers. When you pay attention to kids that’s gonna leave this program and go to the next level, they’re gonna do it in a certain way and you’re gonna say, 'Wow, they were coached by a guy who understands how to get it done.' I identify with that." Colorado can certainly use Faulk's expertise heading into 2025. There are several players battling for the starting role after Isaiah Augustave transferred to South Carolina. Even then, he was Colorado's leading rusher last season while rushing for just 384 yards and four touchdowns, so it's not like the Buffs have a big gap that they're trying to replace. Dekalon Taylor transferred in from Incarnate Word, where he rushed for 909 yards and nine touchdowns last season, so he'll be a player to watch. Dallan Hayden, Micah Welch, Simeon Price and Charlie Offerdahl are also names to know. Faulk will have his work cut out for him, but he seems excited to make a difference both on and off the field for these young Buffaloes. "So coming here not just to win games on the field, but to win the game off the field, which is to make sure that these young men in life become what they want to become outside of football. They become the father that they want to be, the brother, the husband. Making sure that they do that, that’s the important part. That was attractive," he said.

Kevin Love reportedly has preferred buyout destination
Kevin Love is eyeing a return to his roots. The five-time NBA All-Star big man Love has a preferred destination on the buyout market, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints reported on Tuesday. Love would like to end up in Los Angeles. Now 36 years old, Love spent the last two-and-a-half seasons with the Miami Heat. He averaged just 5.3 points and 4.1 rebounds over 10.9 minutes per game in 2024-25 but still managed to shoot 35.8 percent from three on the year. Earlier this summer however, the Heat traded Love to the Utah Jazz as part of a three-team blockbuster deal. Now Love, a 17-year NBA veteran, is pursuing a contract buyout from the rebuilding Jazz. Though he is a native of Lake Oswego, Oregon, Love played his college ball in Los Angeles at UCLA. He also has ties to both L.A. teams — he won an NBA championship with Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James on the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2016 and was also coached on that team by Tyronn Lue, who is now head coach of the L.A. Clippers. Both the Lakers and Clippers are currently sitting at 14 guaranteed contracts each. While they still have spots for two-way and Exhibit 10 players, that means the Lakers and Clippers are both down to their final open roster spot. The ex-rebounding leader Love still has some value, though probably more so as a jokester than as a contributing rotation piece. While Love clearly wants a homecoming to Los Angeles, he may have some convincing to do for either the Lakers or the Clippers to give him that final open roster spot.
