Indiana football coach Curt Cignetti told reporters Wednesday leading pass-rusher Stephen Daley suffered a ‘serious’ leg injury following the Hoosiers’ Big Ten Championship game win and will likely miss the rest of the season.

Video shared on social media showed Daley apparently injuring his leg while jumping up to high-five Indiana fans after Saturday’s Big Ten win. The Kent State transfer was seen exiting the field at Lucas Oil Stadium on a cart with his right leg immobilized. Per Pro Football Focus, Daley played a team-high 57 snaps for the No. 1 Hoosiers (13-0) in a 13-10 win over Ohio State and had six quarterback pressures with a sack.

Daley, an injury replacement himself filling in after starter Kellan Wyatt suffered a season-ending injury Oct. 18, has been one of the most impactful defenders in the country. He has 5.5 sacks and 19.0 tackles for loss — second most in the FBS — with six or more quarterback pressures in four of the team’s past seven games.

‘I can confirm he did sustain an injury, a serious injury that will probably make him not available for the remainder of the season,’ Cignetti said.

Cignetti briefly addressed IU’s injury situation Sunday and was careful with the wording of his update while the team awaited for more information on Daley’s injury.

‘There was a little more information that had to come in, and I was still processing the whole thing because it was sort of unbelievable when I heard about it,’ Cignetti said. ‘That was why I said we had nobody hurt in the game, during the game.’

It’s a huge blow for an Indiana team that’s prepping for a matchup against the No. 8 Oklahoma-No. 9 Alabama game winner in the Rose Bowl.

With Wyatt and Daley out, Indiana doesn’t have much experience left on the bench and will likely turn to sophomore Daniel Ndukwe to get the bulk of the reps alongside Mikail Kamara. Mario Landino can also slide over to edge rusher, with Hosea Wheeler, Tyrique Tucker and Dominique Ratcliff sharing the load along the D-line.

With the margin in the NBA Cup West Quarterfinal between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Phoenix Suns approaching 40 points, tensions momentarily flared — and one player got ejected.

Midway through the third quarter, Phoenix Suns guard Grayson Allen was on defense near the right wing when he braced himself and threw his weight into Thunder center Chet Holmgren, who was trying to slide past Allen into the right corner. Holmgren crashed into Allen and tumbled to the court, which led to Thunder forward Jalen Williams walking over to Allen and shoving him.

‘Felt like I gave a good foul within the physicality of the game and what was going on both ends, especially with the bumps on screens, some of the hits on blockouts that were happening,’ Allen told reporters after the game, an eventual 138-89 Oklahoma City victory. ‘It was straight up. He was cutting into me. Definitely a foul, but I thought it was within the physicality of the game. I think the reaction afterwards kind of played into that.’

Players from each team then squared up, though officials were quick to defuse the situation and restore calm.

Upon replay review, NBA referee James Williams announced that Allen was being administered a flagrant 2 foul, prompting Allen’s ejection from the game. Williams cited windup and follow-through in assessing the flagrant foul.

Allen disagreed with Williams’ assessment of the foul.

‘When he said the explanation, I thought that was the description of a flagrant 1,’ Allen said. ‘They looked at it a bunch of times. I didn’t feel like there was wind up. I braced myself. Definitely delivered a bump and a hard foul, but it was straight up.’

Allen has had a history of physical — if not reckless — play on the court, including one incident against a Thunder player.

Back in January 2022, when Allen was a member of the Bucks, the NBA suspended him for one game without pay after he ‘made unnecessary and excessive contact’ on current Oklahoma City guard Alex Caruso, who was then with the Bulls. During that play, Caruso was driving to the basket on a fastbreak when Allen lunged at Caruso’s arms and flung him down to the court. Allen received a flagrant 2 foul on that play and was subsequently ejected.

Caruso ended up suffering a wrist fracture on the play and missed the following 22 games, which was nearly two months.

Allen developed a reputation at Duke and early in his NBA career for making perceived dirty plays. In July 2019, during a summer league game when he was a member of the Memphis Grizzlies, Allen was ejected after he received two flagrant fouls in the span of seven seconds — both of which were against then-Celtics forward Grant Williams.

While he was at Duke, then-Blue Devils coach Mike Krzyzewski stripped Allen of his captaincy after he tripped players out of frustration, which also led to a suspension.

Allen left Wednesday’s game against the Thunder having recorded 10 points on 3-of-9 shooting and added 4 assists, 1 rebound and 1 steal.

‘I just think when two really good teams are going at it and being physical, plays happen,’ Holmgren told reporters after the game. ‘I think it was officiated correctly, but it happened and then I moved on and kept trying to play the basketball game.’

The Thunder went on to rout the Suns, 138-89. Oklahoma City will play the winner of the other NBA Cup West Quarterfinal game Wednesday night between the San Antonio Spurs and Los Angeles Lakers.

The NBA Cup West Semifinal is scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 13 in Las Vegas.

The semifinals of the NBA Cup in Las Vegas are set.

The San Antonio Spurs held off the Los Angeles Lakers Wednesday, Dec. 10 in a 132-119 victory in the final game of the NBA Cup quarterfinals. San Antonio had seven different players reach double figures in scoring, but guard Stephon Castle posted a 30-point double-double with 10 rebounds and 6 assists.

He, alongside fellow speedy guard De’Aaron Fox, led the San Antonio attack, which prioritized speed and transition offense. The Spurs scored 27 fast-break points and 16 off of turnovers. That San Antonio has done this without phenom Victor Wembanyama is all the more impressive, though Wembanyama is nearing his return and may be available for the rest of the NBA Cup.

The Spurs have booked their trip to the semifinals Saturday, Dec. 13, where they will play the 24-1 Oklahoma City Thunder.

Luka Dončić led the Lakers with 35 points on 11-of-24 shooting and added 8 assists and 5 rebounds.

Spurs vs. Lakers highlights

Lakers making it interesting late

Los Angeles went on an 11-0 run to close the deficit to 8 points late in the fourth. Spurs guard De’Aaron Fox ended the run with a corner 3, but Los Angeles has given itself a chance to make this a game late.

End Q3: Spurs 104, Lakers 87

Needing to mount a comeback, the Laker offense sputtered in the third.

Los Angeles finished the first half with momentum after it launched a scoring run, but the Lakers missed 9 of their first 13 shots in the third. That allowed the Spurs, who stayed on the offensive, to build their lead.

All game long, the Lakers have struggled to defend in transition, getting back slowly. This has led to San Antonio attacking the basket, drawing contact, and getting to the line; the Spurs have attempted 32 free throws, doubling up L.A.’s 16.

San Antonio is also beating the Lakers in fast break points (24-15), bench points (42-16) and points off turnovers (11-2).

End Q2: Spurs 70, Lakers 58

The Lakers appeared to have no answer for what San Antonio is doing on offense, but they did course correct behind their offense.

The Spurs — behind their speedy and athletic trio of guards De’Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper — are racing out in transition, getting paint touches and attacking the rim or setting up kick-out shots.

The Spurs eventually opened an 18-point lead, their biggest of the game. Los Angeles, however, clogged the paint and did a better job of contesting shots. That led to better offense for Los Angeles, though the Lakers often found themselves distracted with the officials.

Several times in the second quarter, the Lakers complained to the officiating crew, trying to leverage for calls. The Spurs used that to their advantage and pushed pace in transition even more.

Luka Dončić leads all players with 24 points on 8-of-17 shooting. LeBron James has added 12, though he brought the crowd to its feet with a thunderous dunk over Spurs center Luke Kornet.

The Spurs have shot 10-of-20 from 3-point range.

End Q1: Spurs 39, Lakers 30

After a shaky start to the game, the Spurs have shored up their low-post defense and have dictated the pace and tempo of this game.

San Antonio gave up 12 points in the paint in the first few minutes of the game and followed that up by allowing just 4 more the rest of the quarter. It also helped the Spurs that backup forward Keldon Johnson came out on an absolute heater.

Johnson played just 5:24 in the period, but hit all three of his 3-pointers and dropped 13 points in the first. He leads all scorers, while point guard De’Aaron Fox added 8 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.

Luka Dončić led the way for the Lakers with 11 points on 4-of-10 shooting. The difference thus far has been San Antonio’s efficiency in pushing the pace off of turnovers; the Spurs have scored 7 points off turnovers, compared to the Lakers, who have none.

Spurs-Lakers underway

Los Angeles is taking advantage of Victor Wembanyama’s absence.

As Wembanyama continues to nurse a calf strain, his defensive presence in the paint is gone, and the Lakers are clearly looking to exploit that. Twelve of L.A.’s 15 points have come in the paint.

San Antonio is going to drop coverage on pick-and-rolls, which is creating space for Laker attackers. Los Angeles is taking an early 15-11 lead midway through the first.

Lakers will not use NBA Cup court vs. Spurs

The Los Angeles Lakers will not use the alternate NBA Cup court for their quarterfinal game against the San Antonio Spurs at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

The decision not to use the yellow alternate court was made ‘out of an abundance of caution.’

Lakers star Luka Doncic was among the players who had issues slipping on the court during the team’s 135-118 victory over the L.A. Clippers on Nov. 25. — James H. Williams

This is a sting the Canadians are going to be feeling until February. 

The U.S. women clinched this year’s Rivalry Series in resounding fashion Wednesday night, tagging their archrivals for a record 10 goals. It’s the most goals Canada has ever allowed in international play, topping the nine they gave up to the U.S. at the 2012 world championships. The U.S. women have now outscored Canada by a whopping 20-6 through the first three games in this edition of the Rivalry Series. 

The fourth and final game is Saturday night. 

The U.S. and Canada dominate the women’s game, playing each other for gold in all but one Olympics and one world championships. And Canada has traditionally gotten the better of the Americans, winning five of the seven Olympic gold medals and 13 of the 24 world titles. 

But the momentum seems to have shifted the U.S. women’s way. 

The Americans have won two of the last three world championships, including an overtime thriller in the spring, and have thoroughly dominated Canada in the first three games of this rivalry series. They look faster, scrappier and deeper, with 12 different players scoring in the first three games. 

And Canada as powerless to do anything about it. The Canadians even brought back their stalwart goalkeeper, Ann-Renee Desbiens, for Game 3 after being outscored 10-2 in the first two games. She was gone midway through the second period.  

Now, this doesn’t mean the Americans are going to win the gold medal at the Milano Cortina Olympics. But coach John Wroblewski has to look how his team is looking while Canada needs to look for some answers. 

Final score: USA 10, Canada 4

Canada might have had the momentum entering the third period, but the USA scored four consecutive goals for the win. Kelly Panek and Abbey Murphy each scored their second goal of the game to complete the rout. The USA is now 3-0 in the Rivalry Series, outscoring Canada 20-6.

The fourth and final game of the Rivalry Series is Saturday (9 p.m. ET) in Edmonton.

Abbey Murphy scores USA’s 10th goal

Abbey Murphy is on her way to another hat trick. 

Murphy, who had three goals in the first game of this Rivalry Series, got her second goal of the night 11:12 into the third period to push the U.S. lead to 10-4. Murphy also scored in the first period. Her five goals (so far) lead all scorers in this edition of the Rivalry Series. 

USA rout is on

The U.S. power play has been a killer. 

Natalie Spooner was whistled for hooking 5:49 into the first period. With 15 seconds left in the power play, Kirsten Simms scored, giving the Americans a 9-4 lead. 

USA’s Kelly Panek scores again

That’s two goals tonight for Kelly Panek. And two assists for Hilary Knight. 

Panek padded the U.S. lead 3:53 into the third period, her goal making it 8-4. Panek was assisted on the goal by Knight, who also had an assist on Alex Carpenter’s goal about three minutes earlier. 

Alex Carpenter adds to USA lead

Alex Carpenter put a stop to Canada’s rally. 

Carpenter scored 1:13 into the third period, extending the U.S. lead to 7-4. Her goal comes after Canada had scored three goals over the final 13:01 of the second period, including two in the final 90 seconds. 

Carpenter is the seventh U.S. player to score in Game 3 of this edition of the Rivalry Series. The U.S. women have gotten goals from 11 different players, so far, in the three games. 

Third period underway

USA leads 6-4 but is short-handed to start the period because of the unsuccessful challenge on the Sophie Jaques goal. Jaques hits the post in the final second of the power play.

End of second: USA 6, Canada 4

Anyone who thought Canada was going to go down without a fight hasn’t experienced the Rivalry Series before. 

Canada scored three goals in the second period, including two in a 54-second span, to cut the U.S. lead to 6-4 going into the final period. 

‘The Canada-USA rivalry is insane,’ Abbey Murphy said of the frenzy of goals. 

The Americans dominated their archrivals in the first two games, and this looked like more of the same early. After Sarah Fillier scored 48 seconds into the first period, the Americans scored five unanswered goal. Sophie Jaques finally ended the U.S. run, scoring 13:01 into the second period. Kelly Panek extended the U.S. lead again, to 6-3, before Julia Gosling and Jaques kept the game from getting out of hand. 

Gosling scored a power-play goal 18:43 into the period, and Jaques followed with her second goal of the night 19:47 into the period. 

Despite trailing, Canada has outshot the Americans 30-21. 

Canada scores two quick goals

We’ve got ourselves a game again.

Julia Gosling and Sophie Jaques scored in a 54-second span to cut the U.S. lead to 6-4 as the second period is winding down. Gosling scored first, on a power play 18:43 into the second period. Jaques followed 19:43 into the period. It was her second goal of the game.

Officials took an extended look at Jacques goal after the Americans challenged, arguing that Jaques had made contact with U.S. goalkeeper Gwyneth Philips. But officials decided Jaques was outside the crease when the contact occurred, and a loud cheer went up when the goal was confirmed. The USA goes short-handed because of the lost challenge.

Kelly Panek adds to USA lead

The U.S. women better hope they’re not using up all their goals before the Olympics. 

Kelly Panek is the latest American to get on the score sheet, scoring 16:24 into the second period to give the U.S. a 6-2 lead. She’s the sixth U.S. woman with a goal in Game 3, following Tessa Janecke, Abbey Murphy, Jesse Compher, Kendall Coyne-Schofield and Britta Curl-Saleme. 

Canada gets one back

Sophie Jaques got Canada back in the game. 

After the Americans had scored five unanswered goals, Jaques scored 13:01 into the second period to cut the U.S. lead to 5-2. This is the first time in the first three Rivalry Games that Canada has had a multi-goal game. The U.S. women won the first two games 4-1 and 6-1. 

USA scores again, chases Canada goalie

And you get a goal! And you get a goal! 

Britta Curl-Salemme scored 11:10 into the second period to give the U.S. women a 5-1 lead over Canada. She’s the fifth different American to score — a bit of a change from the first two games, which both featured hat tricks. Abbey Murphy had three goals in the first game and Hilary Knight matched her in the second. 

Curl-Salemme’s goal resulted in a change in net for the Canadians. Ann-Renee Desbiens, Canada’s longtime starter, was replaced by Emerance Maschmeyer.

Canada power play

Cayla Barnes is in the penalty box for the next two minutes for cross-checking.

Barnes shoved Sarah Fillier in the back 6:55 into the second period. It’s only the second penalty of the night for the U.S. women. 

The USA kills it off. Gwyneth Philips stops Natalie Spooner on a breakaway.

Second period underway

USA leads 4-1 despite being outshot 17-10 in the first period. The Americans are on a power play to start the period, but Canada kills it off.

End of first: USA 4, Canada 1

The Americans aren’t letting up. 

After Canada managed just two goals in the first two games of the Rivalry Series, it looked as if this one might be different when the Canadians scored 48 seconds into the game. With Canadian stalwart Ann-Renee Desbiens returning to goal, the momentum seemed to have shifted in Canada’s favor. 

But the Americans rebounded with a vengeance, scoring four goals over the last 12:11 of the first period. 

Tessa Janecke got the Americans on the board first, scoring just as time on a power play was about to expire 7:49 into the game. Abbey Murphy got her fourth goal of the series, scoring 11:47 into the period. 

And then things got crazy. Jesse Compher got her own rebound and found the net on her second try, making it 3-1 18:18 into the game. Thirty-nine seconds later, Kendall Coyne Schofield made it 4-1. 

That gives the U.S. women 14 goals in the first two-plus games of this edition of the Rivalry Series. 

USA scores two quick goals

The goalfest continues for the U.S. women. 

Jesse Compher scored 18:18 into the first period to give the Americans a 3-1 lead over their archrival. The teams were barely off the faceoff when Kendall Coyne Schofield made it 4-1 on a breakaway.

The Americans have now scored four unanswered goals after Canada took a 1-0 lead 48 seconds into the game. 

Big USA save

Gwyneth Philips stops Canada captain Marie-Philip Poulin on a breakaway.

USA kills off penalty

The USA’s Kirsten Simms was whistled for boarding 13:08 into the first period. Canada gets five shots on goal on the power play but can’t capitalize.

Abbey Murphy gives USA lead

Abbey Murphy is on the board again. 

Murphy, who had a hat trick in the first game of the Rivalry Series, scored 10:47 into the first period on a breakaway to give the U.S. women a 2-1 lead over Canada. Her goal, assisted by Laila Edwards and Alex Carpenter, came just two minutes after Tessa Janecke had scored to even it up.

USA ties it up

The U.S. women took advantage of a power play. 

With four seconds left in Emily Clark’s 2-minute penalty for interference, Tessa Janecke went backdoor to even the game 1-1 at 7:49. Abbey Murphy and Taylor Heise had assists on the goal, which came after a faceoff. 

That’s the fifth assist of the Rivalry Series for Heise. 

USA on power play

The first penalty of the night goes to Canada. Emily Clark was given two minutes for interference with 15:08 to play in the first period.

Canada takes quick lead

Well that didn’t take long. 

Less than a minute into the game and Canada has a 1-0 lead, courtesy of a goal from Sarah Fillier at 48 seconds. Ella Shelton had the puck on the left side and sent a pass toward the goalmouth, where Fillier flicked it past US goaltender Gwyneth Philips. It’s only the third goal for the Canadians in this edition of the Rivalry Series. 

Game underway

USA leads 2-0 in the series.

Team Canada lines

Team USA’s top line remains same

We’re getting a good idea of what US women’s coach John Wroblewski is thinking as far as his lineup. 

Once again, Tessa Janecke, Alex Carpenter and Hilary Knight are the forwards on the No. 1 line while Megan Keller and Laila Edwards are on defense. That line has not changed in the first three games of the Rivalry Series. 

Wroblewski has been experimenting with different forward combinations on the second line, with Taylor Heise the only constant in the first three games. No surprise, she has a goal and four assists after the first two games. 

Team USA lines

Who is playing in the Rivalry Series?

While Canada has kept the core of its 2022 team, the U.S. women will bring a mixture of veterans and new stars to Milano Cortina.

Hilary Knight, arguably the greatest player ever, has said Milano Cortina will be her final Olympics, while Kendall Coyne Schofield is trying to make her fourth Olympic team.

The younger players are equally exciting. Caroline Harvey, who made her Olympic debut in Beijing, has either won best Defenseman Honors or been on the All-Star Team at every world championships since 2022. Taylor Heise (2022) and Laila Edwards (2024), who would be making their Olympic debuts, were both MVPs at the world championships. 

Results of second USA-Canada game

Hilary Knight had a hat trick and Laila Edwards had a goal and two assists in the second Rivalry Series game, which the Americans won 6-1.

Kelly Pannek and Hayley Scamurra also had goals in the second game.

Results of first USA-Canada game

Abbey Murphy had a hat trick and Taylor Heise had a goal and three assists in the first Rivalry Series game, which the Americans won 4-1.

What is the Rivalry Series? 

Now in its sixth season, the Rivalry Series features the U.S. and Canadian women’s national teams. This year’s edition consists of four games, two in the United States and two in Canada. 

The U.S. women won the first two games, played last month in Cleveland and Buffalo, New York, handily.

Former Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore has been arrested and booked into Washtenaw County Jail in Michigan on Wednesday, Dec. 10.

Prior reports noted he had been detained by police, though no reason for his detainment was given.

It’s the latest development in a day that had already seen Moore fired from his position as the Wolverines’ coach after the university found ‘credible evidence’ he ‘engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member.’

Here are the latest updates surrounding Moore:

Sherrone Moore updates, news

All times Eastern

Sherrone Moore arrested, booked in Washtenaw County Jail

According to online court records, Moore was booked into Washtenaw County Jail at 8:30 p.m. He remained in custody as of 10:30 p.m., though no charges or booking information was immediately available.

According to a statement from Pittsfield Township Police, police responded to a location at 4:10 p.m. ‘for the purposes of investigating an alleged assault.’ The statement went on to read that the suspect in the incident was taken into custody, but did not name the individual.

Per Pittsfield Township Police, the incident ‘does not appear to be random in nature,’ and an ‘investigation is ongoing.’

Sherrone Moore detained, per reports

Shortly after 7 p.m., reports surfaced that Moore had been detained in Saline, Michigan, less than 10 miles south of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Reports indicated the Saline Police Department ‘assisted in locating and detaining’ Moore before transferring him to Pittsfield Township Police.

No reason was given for his detainment, nor did Moore show up in arrest or jail records.

Sherrone Moore fired for cause from Michigan

At 4:43 p.m. ET, Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel issued a statement confirming reports the Wolverines had fired Sherrone Moore ‘for cause.’

‘U-M head football coach Sherrone Moore has been terminated, with cause, effective immediately. Following a University investigation, credible evidence was found that Coach Moore engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member. This conduct constitutes a clear violation of University policy, and U-M maintains zero tolerance for such behavior.

‘Biff Poggi has been appointed head football coach in an interim capacity, effective immediately.’

Is Joe Burrow still having fun playing football? That’s a question the Cincinnati Bengals quarterback is still trying to figure out.

In a Dec. 10 press conference, one reporter asked Burrow if the turf toe injury that kept the quarterback sidelined for 10 weeks had affected ‘the way [he] views the game.’ After saying the injury didn’t affect how he felt about winning, Burrow became more reflective about the bigger picture.

‘If I want to keep doing this, I have to have fun doing it,’ said Burrow. ‘I have been through a lot. If it’s not fun, then what am I doing it for?’

One reporter asked a follow-up question on whether it’s been difficult for Burrow to have fun this season with his injury and the Bengals’ poor record.

Burrow said, ‘Yeah, certainly.’

Another reporter asked when playing football started to feel less fun for Burrow. The Bengals quarterback said there wasn’t a specific changing point, but that he’s been reflecting in recent days and weeks.

‘It’s just reflection on a lot of things that I’ve done and been through in my career,’ Burrow said. ‘I think I’ve been through more than most, and it’s certainly not easy on the brain or body.

‘(I’m) just trying to have fun doing it again.’

Moments later, someone else told Burrow he seemed especially reflective and asked if he had something specific on his mind.

‘There’s just a lot of things going on right now,’ Burrow said.

‘Football related? Personally?’ the reporter asked.

‘All of the above,’ Burrow said.

This is a sting the Canadians are going to be feeling until February. 

The U.S. women clinched this year’s Rivalry Series in resounding fashion Wednesday night, tagging their archrivals for a record 10 goals. It’s the most goals Canada has ever allowed in international play, topping the nine they gave up to the U.S. at the 2012 world championships. The U.S. women have now outscored Canada by a whopping 20-6 through the first three games in this edition of the Rivalry Series. 

The fourth and final game is Saturday night. 

The U.S. and Canada dominate the women’s game, playing each other for gold in all but one Olympics and one world championships. And Canada has traditionally gotten the better of the Americans, winning five of the seven Olympic gold medals and 13 of the 24 world titles. 

But the momentum seems to have shifted the U.S. women’s way. 

The Americans have won two of the last three world championships, including an overtime thriller in the spring, and have thoroughly dominated Canada in the first three games of this rivalry series. They look faster, scrappier and deeper, with 12 different players scoring in the first three games. 

And Canada as powerless to do anything about it. The Canadians even brought back their stalwart goalkeeper, Ann-Renee Desbiens, for Game 3 after being outscored 10-2 in the first two games. She was gone midway through the second period.  

Now, this doesn’t mean the Americans are going to win the gold medal at the Milano Cortina Olympics. But coach John Wroblewski has to look how his team is looking while Canada needs to look for some answers. 

Final score: USA 10, Canada 4

Canada might have had the momentum entering the third period, but the USA scored four consecutive goals for the win. Kelly Panek and Abbey Murphy each scored their second goal of the game to complete the rout. The USA is now 3-0 in the Rivalry Series, outscoring Canada 20-6.

The fourth and final game of the Rivalry Series is Saturday (9 p.m. ET) in Edmonton.

Abbey Murphy scores USA’s 10th goal

Abbey Murphy is on her way to another hat trick. 

Murphy, who had three goals in the first game of this Rivalry Series, got her second goal of the night 11:12 into the third period to push the U.S. lead to 10-4. Murphy also scored in the first period. Her five goals (so far) lead all scorers in this edition of the Rivalry Series. 

USA rout is on

The U.S. power play has been a killer. 

Natalie Spooner was whistled for hooking 5:49 into the first period. With 15 seconds left in the power play, Kirsten Simms scored, giving the Americans a 9-4 lead. 

USA’s Kelly Panek scores again

That’s two goals tonight for Kelly Panek. And two assists for Hilary Knight. 

Panek padded the U.S. lead 3:53 into the third period, her goal making it 8-4. Panek was assisted on the goal by Knight, who also had an assist on Alex Carpenter’s goal about three minutes earlier. 

Alex Carpenter adds to USA lead

Alex Carpenter put a stop to Canada’s rally. 

Carpenter scored 1:13 into the third period, extending the U.S. lead to 7-4. Her goal comes after Canada had scored three goals over the final 13:01 of the second period, including two in the final 90 seconds. 

Carpenter is the seventh U.S. player to score in Game 3 of this edition of the Rivalry Series. The U.S. women have gotten goals from 11 different players, so far, in the three games. 

Third period underway

USA leads 6-4 but is short-handed to start the period because of the unsuccessful challenge on the Sophie Jaques goal. Jaques hits the post in the final second of the power play.

End of second: USA 6, Canada 4

Anyone who thought Canada was going to go down without a fight hasn’t experienced the Rivalry Series before. 

Canada scored three goals in the second period, including two in a 54-second span, to cut the U.S. lead to 6-4 going into the final period. 

‘The Canada-USA rivalry is insane,’ Abbey Murphy said of the frenzy of goals. 

The Americans dominated their archrivals in the first two games, and this looked like more of the same early. After Sarah Fillier scored 48 seconds into the first period, the Americans scored five unanswered goal. Sophie Jaques finally ended the U.S. run, scoring 13:01 into the second period. Kelly Panek extended the U.S. lead again, to 6-3, before Julia Gosling and Jaques kept the game from getting out of hand. 

Gosling scored a power-play goal 18:43 into the period, and Jaques followed with her second goal of the night 19:47 into the period. 

Despite trailing, Canada has outshot the Americans 30-21. 

Canada scores two quick goals

We’ve got ourselves a game again.

Julia Gosling and Sophie Jaques scored in a 54-second span to cut the U.S. lead to 6-4 as the second period is winding down. Gosling scored first, on a power play 18:43 into the second period. Jaques followed 19:43 into the period. It was her second goal of the game.

Officials took an extended look at Jacques goal after the Americans challenged, arguing that Jaques had made contact with U.S. goalkeeper Gwyneth Philips. But officials decided Jaques was outside the crease when the contact occurred, and a loud cheer went up when the goal was confirmed. The USA goes short-handed because of the lost challenge.

Kelly Panek adds to USA lead

The U.S. women better hope they’re not using up all their goals before the Olympics. 

Kelly Panek is the latest American to get on the score sheet, scoring 16:24 into the second period to give the U.S. a 6-2 lead. She’s the sixth U.S. woman with a goal in Game 3, following Tessa Janecke, Abbey Murphy, Jesse Compher, Kendall Coyne-Schofield and Britta Curl-Saleme. 

Canada gets one back

Sophie Jaques got Canada back in the game. 

After the Americans had scored five unanswered goals, Jaques scored 13:01 into the second period to cut the U.S. lead to 5-2. This is the first time in the first three Rivalry Games that Canada has had a multi-goal game. The U.S. women won the first two games 4-1 and 6-1. 

USA scores again, chases Canada goalie

And you get a goal! And you get a goal! 

Britta Curl-Salemme scored 11:10 into the second period to give the U.S. women a 5-1 lead over Canada. She’s the fifth different American to score — a bit of a change from the first two games, which both featured hat tricks. Abbey Murphy had three goals in the first game and Hilary Knight matched her in the second. 

Curl-Salemme’s goal resulted in a change in net for the Canadians. Ann-Renee Desbiens, Canada’s longtime starter, was replaced by Emerance Maschmeyer.

Canada power play

Cayla Barnes is in the penalty box for the next two minutes for cross-checking.

Barnes shoved Sarah Fillier in the back 6:55 into the second period. It’s only the second penalty of the night for the U.S. women. 

The USA kills it off. Gwyneth Philips stops Natalie Spooner on a breakaway.

Second period underway

USA leads 4-1 despite being outshot 17-10 in the first period. The Americans are on a power play to start the period, but Canada kills it off.

End of first: USA 4, Canada 1

The Americans aren’t letting up. 

After Canada managed just two goals in the first two games of the Rivalry Series, it looked as if this one might be different when the Canadians scored 48 seconds into the game. With Canadian stalwart Ann-Renee Desbiens returning to goal, the momentum seemed to have shifted in Canada’s favor. 

But the Americans rebounded with a vengeance, scoring four goals over the last 12:11 of the first period. 

Tessa Janecke got the Americans on the board first, scoring just as time on a power play was about to expire 7:49 into the game. Abbey Murphy got her fourth goal of the series, scoring 11:47 into the period. 

And then things got crazy. Jesse Compher got her own rebound and found the net on her second try, making it 3-1 18:18 into the game. Thirty-nine seconds later, Kendall Coyne Schofield made it 4-1. 

That gives the U.S. women 14 goals in the first two-plus games of this edition of the Rivalry Series. 

USA scores two quick goals

The goalfest continues for the U.S. women. 

Jesse Compher scored 18:18 into the first period to give the Americans a 3-1 lead over their archrival. The teams were barely off the faceoff when Kendall Coyne Schofield made it 4-1 on a breakaway.

The Americans have now scored four unanswered goals after Canada took a 1-0 lead 48 seconds into the game. 

Big USA save

Gwyneth Philips stops Canada captain Marie-Philip Poulin on a breakaway.

USA kills off penalty

The USA’s Kirsten Simms was whistled for boarding 13:08 into the first period. Canada gets five shots on goal on the power play but can’t capitalize.

Abbey Murphy gives USA lead

Abbey Murphy is on the board again. 

Murphy, who had a hat trick in the first game of the Rivalry Series, scored 10:47 into the first period on a breakaway to give the U.S. women a 2-1 lead over Canada. Her goal, assisted by Laila Edwards and Alex Carpenter, came just two minutes after Tessa Janecke had scored to even it up.

USA ties it up

The U.S. women took advantage of a power play. 

With four seconds left in Emily Clark’s 2-minute penalty for interference, Tessa Janecke went backdoor to even the game 1-1 at 7:49. Abbey Murphy and Taylor Heise had assists on the goal, which came after a faceoff. 

That’s the fifth assist of the Rivalry Series for Heise. 

USA on power play

The first penalty of the night goes to Canada. Emily Clark was given two minutes for interference with 15:08 to play in the first period.

Canada takes quick lead

Well that didn’t take long. 

Less than a minute into the game and Canada has a 1-0 lead, courtesy of a goal from Sarah Fillier at 48 seconds. Ella Shelton had the puck on the left side and sent a pass toward the goalmouth, where Fillier flicked it past US goaltender Gwyneth Philips. It’s only the third goal for the Canadians in this edition of the Rivalry Series. 

Game underway

USA leads 2-0 in the series.

Team Canada lines

Team USA’s top line remains same

We’re getting a good idea of what US women’s coach John Wroblewski is thinking as far as his lineup. 

Once again, Tessa Janecke, Alex Carpenter and Hilary Knight are the forwards on the No. 1 line while Megan Keller and Laila Edwards are on defense. That line has not changed in the first three games of the Rivalry Series. 

Wroblewski has been experimenting with different forward combinations on the second line, with Taylor Heise the only constant in the first three games. No surprise, she has a goal and four assists after the first two games. 

Team USA lines

Who is playing in the Rivalry Series?

While Canada has kept the core of its 2022 team, the U.S. women will bring a mixture of veterans and new stars to Milano Cortina.

Hilary Knight, arguably the greatest player ever, has said Milano Cortina will be her final Olympics, while Kendall Coyne Schofield is trying to make her fourth Olympic team.

The younger players are equally exciting. Caroline Harvey, who made her Olympic debut in Beijing, has either won best Defenseman Honors or been on the All-Star Team at every world championships since 2022. Taylor Heise (2022) and Laila Edwards (2024), who would be making their Olympic debuts, were both MVPs at the world championships. 

Results of second USA-Canada game

Hilary Knight had a hat trick and Laila Edwards had a goal and two assists in the second Rivalry Series game, which the Americans won 6-1.

Kelly Pannek and Hayley Scamurra also had goals in the second game.

Results of first USA-Canada game

Abbey Murphy had a hat trick and Taylor Heise had a goal and three assists in the first Rivalry Series game, which the Americans won 4-1.

What is the Rivalry Series? 

Now in its sixth season, the Rivalry Series features the U.S. and Canadian women’s national teams. This year’s edition consists of four games, two in the United States and two in Canada. 

The U.S. women won the first two games, played last month in Cleveland and Buffalo, New York, handily.

Always heated, the stakes in the latest Rivalry Series are even higher.

The U.S. women’s hockey games against archrival Canada this week are the final chance for coaches to evaluate players before the 2026 Olympic team is named next month. There are 30 players on the Rivalry Series roster, 27 skaters and three goaltenders.

But Olympic rosters have only 23 spots, with three going to goaltenders, so you do the math.

‘I remember in 2022 for the process, I was like, ‘I just want to get there.’ I didn’t take advantage of the team bonding, of the team dinners, of the practices. I didn’t see it as one step at a time. I saw it as one big leap,’ said forward Taylor Heise, one of the last cuts ahead of the Beijing Olympics.

‘Now I’m taking advantage of being here, every time you’re together. It’s such an honor because you never know what it’s going to be a last time,’ Heise added. ‘Many people can say that, but until you have had it taken away from you, it’s really hard to understand.’

The USA won the first two games, 4-1 and 6-1. USA TODAY is providing live updates from today’s Rivalry Series game between the USA and Canada. Follow along:
