One week after losing her world No. 1 ranking, Jin Young Ko rebounded in a big way. 

The South Korean star closed with seven straight pars to finish 2-under 69 on Sunday and earn her the 1-shot victory at the Volunteers of America Classic. In total, she finished 16-under 268 to earn her eight career LPGA victory. 

Ko spent nearly two years atop the women’s world rankings before being supplanted by Nelly Korda last week, who won the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. It’s been a rough start to the year for Ko, who has failed to finish in the top 10 in four of her previous five starts on the LPGA Tour. 

The win marks her first of the year.

Overall No. 1-seed Nebraska's perfect season is officially over, after No. 3-seed Texas A&M volleyball ousted the Huskers in a five-set Elite Eight thriller on Sunday, booking the Aggies a program-first trip to the Final Four.

Undaunted by Nebraska's 33-0 record, the Aggies jumped out to a 2-0 lead before the Huskers stormed back to force a fifth-set tiebreaker — which A&M won 15-13, stunning a home crowd that hasn't seen a Cornhusker loss in Lincoln in more than three years.

"A lot of us are seniors, and we've been doing this for a really long time," said Aggie senior opposite Logan Lednicky. "And I think all the newbies came in ready to work, ready to grind."

Though Nebraska boasts five national titles — good for third on the all-time NCAA volleyball championship list — the Huskers haven't won an NCAA volleyball tournament since 2017, falling three times in the final and once in the semifinals in recent years.

With fellow No. 3-seed Wisconsin's Sunday Elite Eight upset win over four-time champ No. 1 Texas, the 2025 Final Four will now feature two squads — A&M and No. 1-seed Pitt — hunting a first-ever title.

Meanwhile, No. 1-seed Kentucky and the Badgers will be aiming for a second national trophy after earning their debut Division I championships in 2020 and 2021, respectively.

Texas A&M will kick off the 2025 Final Four against Pitt at 6:30 PM ET on Thursday, before Kentucky takes on Wisconsin at 9 PM ET.

Both semifinals will air live on ESPN.

The WSL appears to have a serious 2025/26 title race on its hands, after No. 1 Manchester City cemented their six-point lead on six-time reigning champs No. 2 Chelsea with Sunday's lopsided 6-1 win over No. 8 Aston Villa.

City striker Bunny Shaw scored four times in the victory, bringing her all-time club tally to 103 goals — and becoming the first woman to reach the century scoring mark in the team's modern era.

"Coming into this game, I knew that if I scored it would have been a really good milestone for me," she told BBC Radio.

Manchester City have been perfect since dropping their 2025/26 season opener — a 2-1 loss to six-time champions Chelsea — with the Citizens now carrying a 10-match WSL winning streak into 2026.

While Chelsea and No. 3 Arsenal have ample ground to make up on the WSL table, both managed to keep pace by snagging their own multi-goal wins over the weekend.

After No. 10 Everton snapped the Blues' 34-game WSL unbeaten streak last week, goals by France international Sandy Baltimore and USWNT star Alyssa Thompson shot Chelsea past No. 7 Brighton 3-0 on Sunday.

Arsenal is also back to their winning ways, taking down Everton 3-1 on Saturday to hold off No. 4 Manchester United as captain Leah Williamson returned from injury.

Now on holiday break, the WSL will return at 7:30 AM ET on January 10th, when Arsenal will kick off 2026 play against Manchester United at Emirates Stadium, airing live on ESPN+.

Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark is back in action, joining her fellow WNBA standouts at last weekend's USA Basketball training camp at Duke University in North Carolina.

Sidelined since July 15th with a groin strain, Clark told assembled media that she's feeling "100% healthy" as she tackles her first senior national team camp.

"I've been working out and playing pickup and stuff like that, but to be in an environment like this, it's really fun," she said. "Obviously, [I] need to knock off a little bit of rust and get my lungs back, but my body feels really good."

"I was a little nervous, not because anything [health-wise], but just because I haven't been out here in a while, so certainly fun to lace them up and be in a competitive practice," the 23-year-old added.

One of several uncapped hopefuls called up to the 18-athlete December camp, Clark looked to impress Team USA head coach Kara Lawson as she starts honing the player pool for next September's 2026 FIBA World Cup.

Notably, "the way [Clark] stayed engaged" throughout her recovery impressed new USA Basketball managing director Sue Bird.

"I think that really shows her maturity," noted the five-time Olympic gold medalist.

No. 1 UConn can't stop winning, winding down the year's regular-season nonconference play undefeated after dominating No. 16 USC 79-51 on Saturday.

Senior guard Azzi Fudd led the Huskies' scoring effort with 17 points on the night, while UConn's defense limited the Trojans to just 17 first-half points.

"On a team like this, you have to play unselfish basketball," Fudd said postgame. "You have to be aggressive whether it be from three or taking it to the rim."

As the Big East's only ranked team, the reigning NCAA champions had to make the most of an aggressive nonconference schedule — and so far, so good.

UConn already claimed ranked wins against No. 22 Louisville, No. 21 Ohio State, No. 6 Michigan, and No. 16 USC — with matchups against No. 11 Iowa, No. 19 Notre Dame, and No. 18 Tennessee still to come.

"We've always been pretty good at trying to spread our brand around, not get stuck just playing regional-type games," Huskies head coach Geno Auriemma said ahead of Saturday's matchup. "You want to try to keep adding new ones."

Following a clash with unranked Big East opponent Marquette at 7 PM ET on Wednesday, UConn's next big test will be on Saturday, when the Huskies host No. 11 Iowa at 1:30 PM ET.

UConn's game with the Golden Eagles will air live on Peacock, with their game against the Hawkeyes airing on FOX.
