Apr 12, 2025; Vancouver, British Columbia, CAN; Austin FC defender Brendan Hines-Ike (4) battles for the ball against Vancouver Whitecaps FC midfielder Sebastian Berhalter (16) during the second half at BC Place. Mandatory Credit: Anne-Marie Sorvin-Imagn Images Austin FC will look to get back on track when they host the surprisingly winless Los Angeles Galaxy on Saturday afternoon.
Austin FC (4-3-1, 13 points) head home after their most uneven match of the season, a 5-1 loss in Vancouver last weekend. The Texas contingent allowed two more goals than it had in its first seven matches of the season combined.
Dani Pereira recorded Austin FC’s lone goal in the 90th minute, and goalkeeper Brad Stuver stopped six shots to keep the score from getting any worse. The loss snapped Austin’s four-match undefeated streak.
“This was a perfect time in our season for this to happen to us,” Austin FC center back Brendan Hines-Ike said of the blowout loss to the West-best Whitecaps. “We were in a moment where we needed to realize that we cannot show up to games — no matter if it’s the top team in MLS or one of the teams that’s at the bottom fighting for points — and not give everything we have.”
The Galaxy (0-5-3, 3 points), the defending MLS champions, have suffered through a calamitous season that sees them still looking for their first win. Los Angeles came from behind and was a man down when former Austin FC midfielder Diego Fagundez scored in the 57th minute to pull the Galaxy into a 1-1 draw at home against Houston last Saturday.
The draw snapped a two-match losing streak for the Galaxy.
Los Angeles has been outscored 15-6 this season but has produced two of its three points on the road. A season ago, the Galaxy scored 69 goals, the most in the MLS Western Conference.
“We’ve got to clean it up — clean up putting ourselves in a hole and the not-so-good starts,” Galaxy coach Greg Vanney said. “Those are the biggest things. Because after that, I feel like we find ourselves back into the game and we look all right.”

Kansas coach says pocketknife was thrown from stands and hit KU staffer in Texas Tech’s home win over Jayhawks
Kansas coach Lance Leipold said a pocketknife was thrown from the stands at Jones AT&T Stadium and hit a KU staffer during No. 9 Texas Tech’s win over the Jayhawks on Saturday night.Leipold said the knife was thrown in the third quarter of Tech’s 42-17 win. Texas Tech fans were flagged twice for throwing tortillas on the field during kickoffs during the game as part of the Big 12’s new rule against throwing objects. He did not say that the staffer was injured in the incident.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement“It’s supposed to be for safety and things like that, and it’s a culture that’s been accepted to a point and hasn’t changed. Eventually somebody’s going to be seriously hurt, unfortunately,” Leipold said.The Lawrence Journal-World cited a KU spokesperson who said that Texas Tech’s second penalty for thrown objects “was a direct result of the […]
Canadiens rookie Ivan Demidov, targeted by Blackhawks, further shows what he’s all about
CHICAGO – Montreal Canadiens rookie Ivan Demidov played his first career game at United Center, a building he could have called home had the Chicago Blackhawks decided to draft him at No. 2 in 2024 instead of defenceman Artyom Levshunov, who was a healthy scratch for this home opener.Whether that was part of the dynamic that quickly took hold in this game is unknown, but for whatever reason, the Blackhawks appeared to be targeting Demidov. At least, that’s what the Canadiens thought anyway.AdvertisementAnd that’s kind of what mattered in a game that was hard to draw much meaning from — one where the Canadiens had a ridiculous 10 power plays and won 3-2 on a goal with 15 seconds left in regulation by Kaiden Guhle, who was a big part of the story surrounding Demidov.He saw what the Blackhawks were […]

Indiana’s statement, Penn State’s implosion and more college football Week 7 takeaways
And now, 20 Final Thoughts from Week 7. Who’s ready for Indiana, Georgia Tech, Texas Tech and Navy in the College Football Playoff semifinals?1. College football history is littered with stories of coaches lifting longtime doormats to glory: Bill Snyder at Kansas State, Bill McCartney at Colorado, Rich Brooks at Oregon, Frank Beamer at Virginia Tech, among others. The common theme: slow, steady progress, with the payoff finally coming three, four, five years down the road.AdvertisementIndiana’s Curt Cignetti, by contrast, has pulled off one of the most impressive transformations in the history of the sport in the span of just 19 games. Why waste time with the traditional “cute, cuddly underdog” phase when you can go straight to “big, bad bully that can beat anyone in the country”?2. The seventh-ranked Hoosiers (6-0, 3-0 Big Ten) went to Autzen Stadium, where […]
USMNT, Mauricio Pochettino have a (good) Weston McKennie dilemma
AUSTIN, Texas — Over nine years of professional soccer, Weston McKennie has played just about everywhere. He is, at heart, a midfielder; but he has been a right back and left back, a wingback and winger, a player who, in the words of former Juventus coach Thiago Motta, “can do everything.” Even in his natural habitat, the middle of the park, he has been a No 6, 8, 10, and every fractional number in between.AdvertisementHis preferred role, though, revolves around a single word: “Freedom.”“I’m the type of player that likes to get forward, and have the freedom to move around, and the trust and belief from the coach to be able to do that, to make runs in behind,” McKennie said Friday after he and the U.S. men’s national team drew with Ecuador. “I like to be in the box.

Why Edmonton Oilers prospects could fill the net across the hockey world
The Edmonton Oilers are just getting started on the 2025-26 season, but many of the team’s prospects are well into their respective seasons. After years of uneven results, prospects at main camp gave an indication that this season might be different. After an explosive weekend offensively for the AHL Bakersfield Condors, this year’s Oilers prospects appear destined to fill nets across the hockey world. Here’s a look.AdvertisementKHLMaxim BerezkinRussian winger Maxim Berezkin is an intriguing player. A big winger with skill, he’s not quite a power forward but does possess the ability to win pucks. He’s a very good passer and can score goals. Last season was his best, and his playoff run garnered him plenty of attention. He has started this season in the KHL slowly, though.
