New Zealand Black Ferns vs. Rugby Canada Live Score And Updates

The Pacific Four Series most anticipated match ended in a thrilling 27-27 draw in Christchurch as No. 3 New Zealand scored in the 84th minute to tie the match after Canada had taken the lead in the 76th minute on May 17. 

The Black Ferns had a chance to win but Ruahei Demant’s conversion missed. 

Even though the Women’s Rugby World Cup doesn’t start for another three months, the Christchurch crowd saw a match worthy of the sport’s highest stage. 

Canada broke through to take the lead in the 76th minute when Alysha Corrigan scored on the wing following several chances Canada had on the goal line. With four minutes to play, the Black Ferns quickly moved the ball down the field to answer and used a lineout in the 79th minute to set up game-tying try five minutes later. 

The Black Ferns will host USA Rugby on May 23 in their next game of the Pacific Four Series.

Mustangs Upset 5-Seed BYU and Advance to NCAA Round 2 Versus USC

Published

1 minute ago

on

December 6, 2025

By


Set-by-Set Story

The Mustangs started strong, trading points with BYU early and holding a narrow 15-14 edge at the first-set media timeout. Cal Poly pushed ahead to 19-17 after the break, forcing BYU to burn both timeouts. Then, behind Leluge’s six first-set kills, the Mustangs closed the set on a 6-0 run to win 25-19.

Leluge, Beshear, and Fredrick powered an offense that posted 15 total kills with zero errors in the opener, hitting .357 as a team and siding out at a remarkable 94% rate. The set featured 16 ties, foreshadowing the back-and-forth battle to come.

BYU shrugged off any momentum shift in the second set, racing to a 12-7 lead while hitting .778. Though Cal Poly hit .500 during that stretch, passing struggles near the net allowed the Cougars to pull away and even the match with a 25-17 win.

In the third, BYU used several small runs, including a 4-1 spurt to go up 10-6, to build an early edge. Cal Poly closed within one point twice late, but the Cougars held firm to take the set 25-20 and a 2-1 match lead.

Facing elimination, the Mustangs responded with force in the fourth. Beshear’s powerful attacks and a strengthened net presence from Charlotte Kelly, Annabelle Thalken, Leluge, and Bullis helped Cal Poly seize control midway. Leading from 10-9 onward, they closed out the set 25-20 to force a fifth.

The Mustangs grabbed the tiebreaker early, taking a 4-3 lead and never looking back. A locked-in defense limited BYU to a .000 hitting percentage in the fifth, and Cal Poly surged to a 15-10 victory to seal the upset.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – A trip to the NCAA regional semifinals is on the line Friday (Dec. 5) evening at Wilkinson Hall. Fourth-seeded Indiana and fifth-seeded Colorado will meet in Bloomington at 6 p.m. on ESPN+ to determine the first berth in the round of 16 this season.

 

The Hoosiers worked an impressive sweep of Toledo on Thursday (Dec. 4) to open their first NCAA Tournament journey since 2010. Senior outside hitter Candela Alonso-Corcelles led the way with 12 kills while freshman outside hitter Jaidyn Jager recorded a double-double on 11 kills and 10 digs.

 

Below is a list of notes to know ahead of Friday’s second round match at Wilkinson Hall.

vs. (5) Colorado (Friday, December 5th, 2025 – 6 p.m. ET)

Live Stats: bit.ly/3MF39WS

 

Notable

PROGRAM RECORD: The Hoosiers made program history this week in Bloomington after Thursday’s win over Toledo. IU broke a single-season program record for wins (24) in the NCAA era, passing the former mark of 23 from 2010. It will have a chance at a 25-win campaign on Friday against Colorado.

 

BALANCE ON THE PINS: Indiana is the only Power Four program who has three different players averaging at least 3.22 kills per set this season. On 10 different occasions this year, all three of IU’s pin hitters have gone for 10+ kills each. Senior outside hitter Candela Alonso-Corcelles leads the team with 3.49 kills per set.

 

POSTSEASON BALL: For just the sixth time in program history, IU is playing in the NCAA Tournament. It’s IU’s first appearance since going to the regional semifinals in 2010. The Hoosiers broke one of the longest postseason droughts (15 years) of any power four program. IU is hosting for just the second time in school history.

 

ALL-BIG TEN HOOSIERS: IU had three First Team All-Big Ten selections in 2025. Before this year, IU had never even had two players picked to the All-Big Ten First Team in the same year. Senior outside hitter Candela Alonso-Corcelles, senior opposite hitter Avry Tatum and freshman setter Teodora Krickovic all made the team this season.

 

STRONG AT HOME: The Hoosiers have been fantastic at Wilkinson Hall over the last four years. Dating back to 2022, IU is 39-15 on the home court. For the first time since 1998-2000, IU has won 10-or-more home games in three-straight years. IU hasn’t lost at home to an unranked team since Nov. 12, 2023.

 

VIC STEPPING UP: When freshman middle blocker Victoria Gray gets the ball, she’s been especially lethal. During the month of November, her game was at a new level. In nine games last month, she hit .416 with 52 kills. Her best game was a career-high 12 kills against Purdue to end the regular season.

 

BIG TIME AVRY: Senior opposite hitter Avry Tatum has loved the big moments during her IU career. She had 10+ kills in nine of 13 matches against teams that made the NCAA Tournament. In two games last week, Tatum averaged 3.86 kills per set while hitting at a .396 clip.

 

POWER DUO: IU is 26-8 over the last three years when senior outside hitter Candela Alonso-Corcelles and senior opposite Avry Tatum each record 10 kills in the same match. It last happened in a dominant win at Illinois (Nov. 26). On the season, the Hoosiers are 7-1 in conference play in 2025 when this occurs.

 

SERVING TOUGH: IU went for 10 aces in Thursday’s win over Toledo. It’s the fifth time this season that the team has gone for double-digit aces. Since November 14th, IU has recorded 52 aces and is averaging 2.26 aces per set in that seven-game stretch. Six different players tallied at least one ace in the first-round victory.

 

BIG BLOCK GRAY: Freshman middle blocker Victoria Gray became the first freshman to record 100 blocks in a season after her four-block night against Toledo. She’s had 14 different matches with at least four blocks this year. The Hoosiers have also had 14 matches with at least nine blocks as a team this season.

 

First Round Notes: Indiana 3, Toledo 0

• With a win on Thursday evening, IU set a single-season program record for wins (24) in the NCAA era. The 2010 team won 23 contests but this year’s squad has officially passed that mark. IU will go for its first 25-win season tomorrow night against Colorado.

• Senior outside hitter Candela Alonso-Corcelles moved into ninth in program history in career kills. She recorded 12 in the win over Toledo, passing Katie Pollom (2001-04) in the process. Thursday’s win was the 72nd time she’s recorded double-digit kills in her career.

• Freshman outside hitter Jaidyn Jager recorded the sixth double-double of her young career on Thursday evening. She provided 11 kills and a team-high 10 digs in the victory over Toledo. It’s the seventh time this season she’s recorded at least 10 digs. Jager matched a career high with three aces.

• IU will play Colorado tomorrow night at Wilkinson Hall with a shot at the NCAA regional semifinals. The Hoosiers have made it to the round of 16 just once in program history (2010). These two teams haven’t met since 1993 but will play at 6 p.m. on ESPN+ tomorrow in Bloomington.

• Freshman middle blocker Victoria Gray shared the team lead with four blocks. She became the first IU freshman since Ashley Benson (2007) to record over 100 blocks in a season. Since the beginning of the 25-point rally-scoring era, no freshman has more blocks in a single season than Gray (102.0).

Campbell Falls to No. 3 Texas A&M in 2025 NCAA Volleyball Championship Opening Round

Dylan Smith


COLLEGE STATION, Texas – Despite a valiant defensive effort, the Campbell volleyball team saw its season come to an end after falling to No. 3 Texas A&M at the 2025 NCAA Volleyball Championship in straight sets (20-25, 10-25, 13-25) inside Reed Arena on Friday evening.
 
The Camels finished the season with a 23-7 record. Hannah Pattie and Bella Illig battled on the back line, each reaching double figures in digs with 11 and 10 apiece, respectively. Abbie Tuyo notched a team-best nine kills on Friday.

The CAA Champions kept pace with the Aggies (24-4) in the opening set, going point-for-point before taking an early 7-6 lead on a tandem block from Tuyo and Aley Clent. Texas A&M surged shortly after with a 9-2 run halted by a slam by Campbell’s Gwen Wolkow. The Camels did not go away quietly with an 8-1 stretch of their own, starting with a kill from Maja Daca and finishing with a Clent and Tuyo stuff on A&M’s Kyndal Stowers at the net to pull within three, 23-20. The Aggies went on to capture the first set two points later, 25-20.

Campbell’s Daca helped her team to a 3-3 tie to start the second frame after earning a kill and painting the end line for a service ace. The Aggies pulled away after seeing Logan Lednicky register four kills and a solo block on the team’s 10-1 run to close out the set, 25-10 win.

The Camels’ Illig fought off heavy swings from the Aggies’ attackers all evening, but her impressive defensive abilities were on full display to start the third set. The graduate libero saved a floater from hitting the floor and dug out two more attacks before setting up Tuyo for the kill, tying the score at two early in the third set. Texas A&M proved to be too much and secured a 25-13 win in set three.
