The Chicago Stars pro women’s soccer team will “test run” at Northwestern in Evanston, exploring a move there in 2026 from Bridgeview.

Northwestern senior Lauryn Nguyen celebrated her 22nd birthday Tuesday by making a 5-foot birdie putt on the first extra hole to down University of Arkansas freshman Clarisa Temelo and send the Wildcats to the NCAA semifinals.

Christian Sarkisian, who spent the last seven years as a scout for the Cincinnati Bengals, will help Northwestern navigate a changing landscape.

It was a rain game today at Gillette Stadium where No. 3 Northwestern took on No. 2 Boston College in the semi-final round of the NCAA Tournament. Behind a true team effort, Northwestern completed a fourth quarter comeback for the ages to down the Eagles 12-11 and advance to the finals.

Los Angeles Loyola three-star running back Sean Morris has committed to Northwestern, he announced on Thursday evening. He chose the Wildcats over offers from the likes of Washington, Arizona, Syracuse and SMU.

Stanford was trying to become the first team in the match-play era (beginning in 2015) to win back-to-back titles. They also prevailed in 2022 and earned the top seed this year by winning the 72-hole stroke-play portion by 21 shots.

Gray will reunite with former Northwestern offensive coordinator Mike Bajakian in Amherst, who was hired for the same role in January. Bajakian coached Gray from 2021 to 2023 and held multiple roles at Utah in 2024. Former Wildcat offensive lineman Zachary Franks, who spent the 2024 season at Duke, will also transfer to UMass.
