Ohio State names its male and female 'Athletes of the Year'
The Ohio State Athletic Department announced its 2025 Male and Female Athletes of the Year on Tuesday. Men's soccer player Michael Adedokun and All-American Makenna Webster, who plays both field hockey and women's ice hockey, were recognized in a statement released by the university.
Adedokun had one whale of a year for Ohio Sate. He made OSU men's soccer history by becoming the first Buckeye to win the MAC Hermann Trophy, the most coveted individual honor in NCAA Division I soccer in 2024. He earned All-American honors by leading the team and conference with 11 goals, 11 assists, and 33 points. The team made its way to the 2024 College Cup as the No. 1 seed in the tournament.
Webster also had a fantastic year in two different sports. She led the field hockey team with 42 points in 2024. She won the 2025 Big Ten Medal of Honor winner. Webster finished the season sixth nationally in points per game and became the 11th player to record 100 career points, doing it in just three seasons. She was a unanimous First Team All-Big Ten honoree and ended the year as a Second Team All-America selection.

New England Free Jacks win third straight Major League Rugby championship
'I think 20 years from now, 50 years from now, we'll look back at those years when the Free Jacks were first founded and the way they brought in the community and built that core, it will be magic,' said co-founder and executive chairman Alex Magleby. 'We'll talk about that forever.' Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Magleby compared the club, which was formed in 2018 and began MLR play in 2020, to other legendary Boston teams over the decades. Advertisement 'The fact that the league now has this story to tell — it's kind of New England versus the world,' said Magleby. 'How cool is that?' BACK-TO-BACK-TO-BACK CHAMPS 🏆 28-22 📺 ESPN2 | — Major League Rugby (@usmlr) The Free Jacks (14-5) never trailed Saturday, a penalty kick from fly-half Dan Hollinshead in the seventh minute putting them ahead for good. Houston (12-7) pulled even three minutes later and remained within 3 points for much of the match, but another Hollinshead penalty in the 58th minute made it 23-17. That set the stage for the decisive try in the 69th. Wing Brock Webster caught the SaberCats defense off guard with a shuffle out wide to Paula Balekana, and the No. 2 try scorer in MLR this season turned on the jets and converted even as the Free Jacks were a man-down from a yellow card. Advertisement 'Dan Hollinshead really felt it was time to pull trigger,' said Webster, lauding his team's ability to make the risky play. 'When someone decides to pull trigger, we back them. Luckily, when I got the ball, Paula had quite a bit of space in front of him. That's a pretty easy guy to get the ball to and trust with the ball in his hands.' As the Dropkick Murphys' 'The Boys are Back' blasted, Balekana was lifted in the air in the try zone. He extended his arms as the lyrics, 'And they're looking for glory' rang out. 'When you're playing with LeBron James, just get him the ball,' said Webster. Hollinshead scored 13 points and Balekana two tries, but Webster was awarded Player of the Match after — in addition to setting up both tries — a flurry of productive plays and regularly putting his body on the line to advance the ball. Not a bad finish for a player who didn't crack the starting 15 to begin the season. 'It's been the most incredible rise of a player that I've ever seen,' said first-year Free Jacks coach Ryan Martin. Right after lifting the MLR shield, players circled the stadium, high-fiving the fans lined along the field. 'The amount of red, white, and blue — and the energy that they created for us, they get to share in something really special,' said Martin. New England's Sam Caird (foreground) didn't shy from contact as he scored his try early in the second half on Saturday against Houston.

Canada contingent helps New England to its third straight Major League Rugby title
PAWTUCKET - Fijian winger Paula Balekana scored two tries and Dan Hollinshead kicked 13 points Saturday as the New England Free Jacks won their third straight Major League Rugby championship with a 28-22 win over the Houston SaberCats. Canadians Andrew Quattrin, Piers von Dadelszen, Cam Nordli-Kelemeti, Ben LeSage and Brock Webster started for the Free Jacks. Webster, who played a key role in two of the New England tries, was named player of the match. The elusive back from Uxbridge, Ont., has represented Canada in both 15s and sevens play. Fellow Canadians Foster DeWitt, Josh Larsen and Ethan Fryer were among the New England replacements. The Free Jacks, who have 16 Canadians in all on their roster, defeated the Seattle Seawolves 20-11 in last year's championship game and edged the San Diego Legion 25-24 for the title in 2023. 'It comes off an organization that just been built right,' Webster said of the Free Jacks. 'You've seen that over the last few seasons. 'I think we just stick to our game plan out there when the pressure's on us like in that the last 20 (minutes), we just stick to our game. We just back one another.' Sam Caird also scored a try for New England, which led 13-10 at the half. Hollinshead kicked three penalties and two conversions. The Free Jacks survived 10 minutes a man down with von Dadelszen sent to the sin-bin in the 61st minute. Max Schumacher scored two tries and Drake Davis added a single for Houston. A.J. Alatimu booted two conversions and a penalty. Schumacher's second try came in the dying minutes with Alatimu missing the conversion from the sideline. The game was held at Centreville Bank Stadium, a 10-500-seat venue that is the home of the USL's Rhode Island FC. Just 60 kilometres southwest of Quincy, Mass., the home of the Free Jacks, it was essentially a home game for New England. New England (11-5-0, 55 points) topped the Eastern Conference while Houston (10-6-0, 54 points) was runner-up to Utah in the West. After opening the season at 2-3-0, New England has gone 12-2-0. The Free Jacks downed the Miami Sharks 32-10 in their Eastern semifinal and rallied to edge the Chicago Hounds 21-10 in the Eastern final. Houston downed RFC LA 27-21 and Utah 33-19 in the playoffs. —- This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 28, 2025.

Washington Football star awarded Big Ten Medal of Honor
On Thursday afternoon, the Big Ten announced the recipients of the conference's Medal of Honor, selecting linebacker Carson Bruener as the Washington Huskies' male recipient of the award. "The Big Ten Medal of Honor is awarded to one male and one female student-athlete from the graduating class of each member institution who has demonstrated excellence on and off the field throughout their collegiate career," the conference said of the award in a press release. Bruener, who was named to the 2021 and 2022 Pac-12 Academic Honor Roll, as well as the 2023 CSC Academic All-District Team, had a career year during Washington's first season in the Big Ten. He tallied 104 tackles and 3 interceptions on his way to an All-Big Ten Third Team selection in his final year of eligibility. Bruener, who was selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the seventh round of April's NFL draft, was one of two linebackers in the Big Ten to record over 100 tackles and three or more interceptions, alongside Iowa's Jay Higgins, who was voted as a unanimous First Team All-American. After carrying on his father Mark's legacy at Washington, where he was voted a captain by his teammates ahead of the 2024 season, he'll now have an opportunity to do that in the NFL as well. Pittsburgh drafted the elder Bruener in the first round of the 1995 NFL draft, and the Steelers still employ him as an area scout. The newly minted Big Ten Medal of Honor winner has a solid chance to make the 53-man roster ahead of his rookie season and at the very least, looks like he should be a contributor to coach Mike Tomlin's special teams unit.
