I feel a little badly for Wake and Penn State; both teams certainly had reasonable cases to make the tournament but... the committee evidently liked UNC a bit more and UMass had done almost everything they could do.

The NCAA Field Hockey Committee got it correct with their inclusion of UMass in this year's bracket in my opinion. 18-2. 2 losses = shootout L @ (RPI #4) UConn & OT L @ (RPI # 20) Miami. Regulation Ws: @ (RPI #3) Harvard, neutral site (RPI #15) Liberty, vs Miami. +83 Goal Diff.

They've got a tough first NCAA game tournament against Yale in Cambridge, MA but they deserved to be in this tournament. (Speaking of this matchup... a personal anecdote/update coming soon from me)

Some cool notes from Yale Field Hockey’s Ivy League Championship victory over Princeton today… • Yale’s 3rd Ivy League Title (1980, 2011) • Their 1st ILTourney Title • 14 W this yr = 2nd-best (15 in ‘98). • Their 1st win over Princeton since 1977 (0-46-3 I believe).

continued… • Amelie Schwarzkopf’s 12 saves are the most by a Yale goalie in a single game since Luana Summer made 14 saves in 2022 vs Drexel

🚨THE YALE BULLDOGS HAVE WON THE 2026 IVY LEAGUE FIELD HOCKEY TOURNAMENT 🚨🚨 As the 4 seed in the tourney, they took down Harvard 2-1 in Cambridge in the semis on Friday and today, with a 2-0 deficit with 9 mins left, they erased it and got the shootout win over Princeton

My first UMass Football game was in Fall 2019. I have gone to a majority of the home games in the seven years since but I have never witnessed a win vs an FBS opponent… until tonight! Dang this feels good.

No better way to start the new season than with a great reunion with my friend @NathanPStrauss! An added bonus for me tonight: it’s two athletic departments that I’ve had the wonderful privilege to work for. The Herd and the Minutewomen!
Back for another year with my good friend (and championship-winning talent) @JacobMunch1! UMass taking on Marshall in the @SunBelt/@MACSports Battle For The Belt live now on ESPN+!

Straight up being able to hear both huddles during timeouts in Game 7 of the WNBA Finals is 400x better than any in-game interview, ever

It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone

Shout out to the people that aren’t fans of the Brewers or the Rays, but they’re still up at midnight watching the 12th inning of the World Series because it might be the last chance to watch baseball for 5 months. The true baseball fans.

Game 1 of the Finals was an exciting one on Saturday night! Take a listen to the latest episode of Cut to the Chase to hear our thoughts and predictions on the 2026 Finals and see how accurately (or inaccurately) they played out in Game 1 ⬇️
