Goals were expected to be in short supply between Geneva and Bartlett on Tuesday.

The Class 3A St. Charles East regional semifinal pitted two teams that have struggled to find the back of the net, especially late in the season. The Hawks failed to score a goal in their final two games, losing consecutive games 1-0 to West Chicago and Geneva.

The Vikings, meanwhile, entered the playoffs with similar issues.

After a late start due to a lightning delay in the opening semifinal, the Hawks and Vikings hooked for up for a scoreless match in the first half. Offensive shots were a rarity, except for the occasional corner or free kick.

Geneva junior forward Audrey Stredde finally stepped to the forefront, scoring a goal from three yards out in the 74th minute for a 1-0 victory over the Hawks. The Vikings (5-11-4) will play St. Charles East for the championship at 6 p.m. Friday.

“The ball came back to me and I just hit it again,” Stredde said. “We had the momentum going and just had to finish it. I was not letting that ball go out of the box, and I got it in. The ball bounced back to me. I was wide open and had two shots and it went in. I wanted to score so bad.”

Geneva coach Megan Owens said the team’s tough schedule helped put them in position to win another regional title. The Vikings and Hawks finished in a scoreless tie earlier in the regular season.

“It feels good because we dominated the run of the play and were on their half of the field for the majority of time,” Owens said. “We graduated 10 seniors last year, so I knew we would be little bit young and it would be a rebuilding year, but I didn’t change our schedule. To beat the best, you have to play the best and you grow as a team. We’ve had a lot of positives, especially in the last two to three weeks of the season. It was a great team victory.”

The Vikings were aggressive in the second half, but Bartlett senior goalie Megan Kron, a captain who was named the Upstate Eight Conference West Division Keeper of the Year, was outstanding. Kron, who had six saves in the second half, had two highlight-reel saves in a three-minute segment right before Stredde’s goal, including a hard shot by Stredde in the 68th minute.

But Stredde found the back of the net following a long free kick by Ella Howard. In the middle of a group of players, Stredde fired a shot that was saved at first, but she managed to score off the rebound.

The Hawks (7-7-4) finished the season with three straight losses after putting together a three-game winning streak.

“We worked hard and were competitive, but the story of our season is we’ve struggled on the offensive end,” Bartlett coach Vince Revak said. “We’ve stayed in games defensively but it’s a matter of time when you are defending for 80 minutes that something will sneak through.”

In the first semifinal, host St. Charles East scored three goals in the first 11 minutes to post an 8-0 victory over Lake Park. The Saints (18-6-2) shrugged off Friday’s 2-0 loss to Wheaton Warrenville South by getting a hat trick and an assist from freshman sensation Mya Leon and two goals plus an assist from Sophia Wollenberg. The Lancers (5-14-1) did not have a single shot on goal.

“It was nice to get some confidence back for some players who haven’t been on the field in some time, and getting those minutes under us and getting some rhythm and finding the back of the net,” St. Charles East coach Vince DiNuzzo said. “Every game you win at this point is not something you take for granted. It’s win or go home.”

UFC lightweight Beneil Dariush still believes he could climb into title contention at 155 pounds with a few big wins.

For the longest time now, Beneil Dariush has been a notable contender in the lightweight division. However, after a few poor results in his last few outings, many have been left to wonder whether or not he still belongs in the elite class. Of course, he also has big wins under his belt, but the top 15 is starting to look incredibly stacked once again.

At UFC 317, Dariush will get the chance to prove himself when he locks horns with Renato Moicano. While it may not be a ‘do or die’ situation for his mixed martial arts career, he’ll certainly need to get through Moicano if he wants to even come close to a world championship opportunity.

In a recent interview, Dariush spoke candidly about his ambitions and his desire to go for gold.

The Baltimore Orioles have been the most disappointing team in baseball throughout the 2025 MLB regular season.

Expected to contend coming into the year, they are instead in the cellar of the American League East with a 15-30 record in their first 45 games. With few bright spots on the roster, they are a team many people will be keeping a close eye on in the coming weeks.

There is a real chance the Orioles are amongst the sellers in baseball and teams around the MLB should be thrilled at that notion, given how much talent Baltimore could have to move ahead of the deadline.

Who could be on the move?

Here are four of the likeliest players to be traded by the Orioles this season.

Signed to a one-year, $13 million deal, the veteran right-hander has been everything Baltimore could have hoped for and more. Unfortunately, he is the only veteran pitching addition that has panned out.

With Charlie Morton struggling and yo-yoing between roles and Kyle Gibson already being designated for assignment, Sugano is the only positive producer from the team’s offseason pitching haul.

He has a team-high 1.2 WAR through nine starts with a strong 3.08 ERA in 52.2 innings. Signed to be a backend innings-eater, he is the team’s ace.

Contending teams shouldn’t be relying on him for that role. But as a fourth or fifth starter with those numbers and excellent control, he is worth looking into. The only caveat is that his 4.85 WHIP suggests a regression is coming.

Ahead of the 2024 MLB trade deadline, rumors were swirling that Baltimore was willing to move their starting center fielder for the right price. Mullins stayed with the franchise through the deadline and the entirety of the winter.

Set to hit free agency after this year, and with plenty of teams in need of some outfield help, he should be a popular name on the trade market again. With the team struggling, they could shop him more aggressively.

Mullins owns an OPS+ of 126 through 177 plate appearances with nine home runs, eight doubles, 27 RBI and six stolen bases. A more than serviceable defender in center field still, he could be one of the most established hitters available this summer.

Teams are always on the lookout for relief pitching help and the Orioles have several options, led by Soto.

A left-handed pitcher who is a rental seems like as good of an option to be on the move as any player on the roster. He seemingly hasn’t been great with a 4.30 ERA across 14.2 innings, but his 2.54 FIP paints a much more positive picture.

Seranthony Dominguez is in a similar boat as a veteran reliever who would be a rental, but his statistics don’t paint nearly as good of a picture with an ERA of 5.02 and FIP of 4.62.

Both have some closing experience that a contending team would love to add to their middle relief corps.

Like Mullins, the starting first baseman was on the table last year ahead of the deadline and rumors swirled around him throughout the offseason. Baltimore opted not to pull the trigger on a deal and is likely regretting that now.

After improving his WAR every year of his career, Mountcastle looks to have stalled in 2025, putting up the worst offensive numbers in a single season of his career.

His trade value is incredibly low compared to last year, but his track record has been solid before this with an OPS+ of at least 108 every year. The lack of power and drop in run production is concerning, but a change of scenery could do him some good.

Moving Mountcastle would also clear the way for the Orioles to see what Coby Mayo or Samuel Basallo could do with regular at-bats at first base.
