The final weekend of the Athletes Unlimited lacrosse season is upon us. Team Ohlmiller is set to face off against Team Cummings on Friday at 5 p.m. ET, kicking off the final slate of games.

After a dominant showing through the first four weeks of the season, Taylor Cummings has a chance to clinch the inaugural lacrosse title. Challenging her are Caylee Waters and Kady Glynn. The goalkeepers are within striking distance of the top spot and could make things interesting down the stretch.

Here’s where things stand as we head into the closing weekend:

1. Taylor Cummings, midfielder (1,507 points)

Cummings came on quickly but quietly, drafting last week for the first time all season. She selected Marie McCool, as she told Just Women’s Sports she would before the season started, and drafted well enough to vault herself to the top of the leaderboard. She could be hard to catch if she continues to rack up MVP points this weekend.

2. Caylee Waters, goalie (1,422 points)

Waters overtook Glynn in the goalie battle last week for the first time all season. The two have been duking it out since Week 1, with Waters earning more MVP points (165) than Glynn (45). Waters drafted her own team this week and has a chance to chase down Cummings for the top spot.

3. Kady Glynn, goalie (1,357 points)

Glynn drafted a team for the first time last week, testing her lacrosse savvy. Her team won twice last weekend and helped increase her win points total. Glynn still has an opening to move past Waters, with only 65 points between the goalies.

4. Kylie Ohlmiller, attacker (1,296 points)

Ohlmiller has drafted twice this season, once in Week 2 and again in the final week. She leads the AU field in assists and is tied for second in goals, showing why she was the NCAA record-holder for points and assists. She’s also racked up win points and could make a run at Cummings in the final weekend.

5. Kayla Wood, defender (1,273 points)

Wood emerged as one of the top defenders early in the season. Despite recording only one goal and one assist this season, she’s grabbed points by securing ground balls, controlling draws and winning games. Wood has fallen down the leaderboard a bit in recent weeks, but with a monster weekend, she could climb back up the rankings. Even if she can’t steal the top individual spot, Wood has a chance to win Defensive Player of the Year and take home a $5,000 bonus.

6. Dempsey Arsenault, midfielder (1,238 points)

Arsenault dropped off a bit this week after spending time in the top four last week and drafting a team of her own. Her team lost both of their games, and the midfielder took a hit in the standings.

7. Kayla Treanor, attacker (1,216 points)

Treanor has been a steady force on the leaderboard and on the field, with a total of 165 MVP points at this point in the season. She’s also fourth in goals and assists, making her a valuable drafting option and a player to keep an eye on.

8. Britt Read, goalie (1,192 points)

Read was high up on the leaderboard early in the season, even drafting her own team in Week 3, but she’s dropped off since then. She’s still racked up stat points, however, by leading the way with 492 save points.

9. Nicole Levy, attacker (1,164 points)

Levy has been quietly making waves all season long. She’s scored 10 goals and is tied for first in two-point goals with five.

10. Sam Apuzzo, attacker (1,164 points)

Apuzzo has been lighting up the net this season. She leads the league in goals, which has allowed her to accumulate 165 MVP points in the process.

With half of the Elite Eight now set, a few Big Ten underdogs still have a shot at disrupting the No. 1 seed stronghold at the 2025 NCAA volleyball tournament this weekend.

The No. 3-seed Purdue Boilermakers are through to the quarterfinals after defeating No. 2-seed SMU 3-1 on Thursday, while the No. 4-seed Indiana Hoosiers, No. 3 seed-Wisconsin Badgers, and the still-undefeated overall No. 1 seed Nebraska Cornhuskers all face stiff Sweet Sixteen competition on Friday afternoon.

Coming off a strong regular season, the Big Ten could still field half of the quarterfinal round — though that would require the first No. 1-seed upset of the 2025 national tournament in the form of an Indiana victory over top-seeded Texas.

Bolstered by their defensive leader, senior middle blocker Madi Sell, the Hoosiers booked just their second-ever Sweet Sixteen trip with last week's win over No. 5 Colorado, with Indiana now hoping their lucky run continues against the 2022 and 2023 champion Longhorns.

Meanwhile, the No. 1 Huskers will look to keep rolling against No. 4-seed Kansas while the No. 3 Badgers aim to snag another Big Ten spot in the Elite Eight by ousting No. 2-seed Stanford on Friday.

The NCAA volleyball tournament's Sweet Sixteen action will wrap with four games on Friday, starting with No. 1 Texas vs. No. 4 Indiana at 12 PM ET.

The Elite Eight will then meet at the net on Saturday and Sunday to determine the last-standing teams heading to next week's Final Four in Kansas City.

All of this weekend's NCAA tournament games will air live across ESPN platforms.

Team USA is on a roll, officially taking the four-game 2025 Rivalry Series against Canada before the slate of friendlies is even over, with the US collecting three consecutive wins so far — and one shot left at making it a clean sweep.

The US downed their northern neighbors by a commanding 10-4 scoreline in Edmonton on Wednesday, marking Team USA's first-ever 10-goal victory against the reigning Olympic champs — all while upping the 2025 series' goal tally to 20-6.

While each team fine-tunes rosters ahead of the 2026 Olympics, one test remains for both international hockey titans before the Winter Games take the ice in February.

"The work doesn't stop. Our Olympic team is not named. There's still one more game to go," said USA captain Kendall Coyne Schofield, acknowledging that her squad is not taking their foot off the gas despite the recent lopsided results.

"We have one more game against them before the Olympics," echoed Canada captain Marie-Philip Poulin. "We're all aware of that."

The puck drops on the final match of the sixth annual hockey Rivalry Series between the USA and Canada in Edmonton, Alberta, on Saturday.

Live coverage of the clash will begin at 9 PM ET on the NHL Network.

The latest FIFA women's soccer rankings dropped on Thursday, with Spain widening their lead at No. 1 after winning a second consecutive UEFA Nations League title earlier this month.

The USWNT held steady at No. 2, ceding 7.48 points after losing an October friendly to No. 22 Portugal before going on to secure four straight wins over Portugal, No. 35 New Zealand, and No. 13 Italy to close out 2025.

Elsewhere in the FIFA Top 10, No. 3 Germany and No. 6 Brazil both saw boosts after successful fall runs, while Canada skidded to No. 10 amid a recent five-match winless streak, with Les Rouges's last victory coming against No. 43 Costa Rica last June.

The biggest changes, however, occurred outside the top ranks, as No. 96 Nicaragua, No. 118 Burkina Faso, and No. 137 American Samoa all rose by 16 spots.

Notably, upcoming USWNT opponent Paraguay saw the largest drop in this month's Top 50, sliding five spots to No. 46.

Ultimately, as the USWNT battled to keep pace in a year of roster experimentation — and without a major competition on the team's 2025 docket — the many international competitions in Europe benefitted victors and challenged losers in this week's FIFA rankings update.

The No. 16 USC Trojans are gearing up for another top-ranked test, hosting the reigning national champion No. 1 UConn Huskies in the weekend's flashiest NCAA women's basketball matchup on Saturday.

Coming off their second ranked win of the season, USC topped No. 20 Washington 59-50 last Sunday, with 22 points and 12 rebounds from freshman Jazzy Davidson helping pull the Trojans to a 7-2 record.

"I saw a resolve in our team," said head coach Lindsay Gottlieb afterwards. "I knew we could get the next stop, I knew we could get the next play."

USC will face a particularly familiar foe against the Huskies — this time without sidelined star junior JuJu Watkins — after UConn knocked the Trojans out of the NCAA tournament two years in a row.

Notably, sophomore guard Kayleigh Heckel departed USC over the summer for the Huskies, with the former Trojan averaging 7.7 points per game entering Saturday's clash with her old team.

"I just try to take one game at a time, but I'm excited to go back," Heckel said ahead of her first trip back to LA since transferring. "I had a great freshman year there, and I learned a lot, and it was a great experience, a lot of fond memories. So I'm looking forward to it."

The Trojans will host the Huskies with tip-off set for 5:30 PM ET on Saturday.
