TCU’s Daniela Alvarez and Tania Moreno came from behind to win the final match as the second-seeded Horned Frogs wrapped up their first NCAA women’s beach volleyball championship with a 3-2 victory over No. 4 seed Loyola Marymount on Sunday at Gulf Shores, Ala.

TCU (32-5) is the first school other than USC and UCLA to win the title. The Trojans won the first two and the previous four, while the Bruins won two straight in 2018-19.

Alvarez and Moreno, who took a year off to play in the Olympics, returned to finish unbeaten in four years as a duo. Alvarez and Moreno dropped the first game 18-21 to LMU’s Michelle Shaffer and Anna Pelloia before rallying to win the final two 21-15 and 15-6.

The Lions (38-7) eliminated No. 5 seed USC in the quarterfinals and top-seed UCLA in the semifinals.

TCU No. 3 pair Sofia Izuzquizal and Allanis Navas earned a point with a 21-16, 21-13 sweep of Abbey Thorup and Lisa Luini.

Anhelina Khmil and Ana Vergara also swept their way to a point with 21-14 and 21-19 win over Isabelle Reffel and Magdalena Rabitsch at No. 4.

The TCU duo finished 21-0 this season.

The Olympians finished off the championship as the Horned Frogs won 12 straight to end the season.

LMU twos pair Chloe Hooker and Vilhelmiina Prihti earned a point with a 21-16, 21-17 sweep of Hailey Hamlett and Maria Gonzalez, as Prihti surpassed Jessie Pritchard as LMU’s all-time winningest player with 110 wins.

At No. 5, LMU’s Tanon Rosenthal and Giuliana Poletti Corrales defeated Stacy Reeves and Denie Konstantinova 21-16, 21-16 to set up a decisive match on the final court.

TCU completed its historic season 32-5, winning its final 12 matches.

LMU finished 38-7.

The Lions are just the second program in school history to play in a National Championship event, joining the 2004 Women’s water polo program.

The 38 wins are a program record and John Mayer became the first coach in school history to be named National Coach of the Year.

TENNIS

Casper Ruud became the first Norwegian to win a Masters 1000 title after beating Jack Draper 7-5, 3-6, 6-4 in the Madrid Open final on Sunday.

The former second-ranked Ruud rallied from 5-3 down in the first set and sealed the victory after capitalizing on his lone break at 2-2 in the third.

The 26-year-old Ruud yelled and thrust both arms into the air after clinching the win on his first match point on the Caja Mágica clay court.

The 15th-ranked Ruud will return to the top 10 thanks to his campaign in Madrid, reaching No. 7 in the rankings on Monday.

The 13-time tour champion is the first Norwegian to lift a Masters 1000 trophy since the series was introduced in 1990, according to the ATP. It was Ruud’s third such final after losing to Stefanos Tsitsipas in Monte Carlo last year and to Carlo Alcaraz in Miami in 2022.

Draper, of London, won at Indian Wells in March. After his quarterfinal victory in Madrid, he secured a top-five debut in the rankings.

Ruud had needed to take a couple of painkillers during his semifinal win over Francisco Cerundolo after feeling a rib ailment during his warmup, but there were no signs of any injury on Sunday.

Four-time Grand Slam winner Naomi Osaka claimed her first WTA title since triumphing at the 2021 Australian Open — and on her seemingly worst surface.

Osaka beat Kaja Juvan 6-1, 7-5 Sunday to win L’Open 35 de Saint-Malo — a WTA 125 tournament in France — and secure her first trophy on clay.

It was also the Japanese player’s first WTA title since she became a mother in July 2023, returning to tennis at the start of the following year.

“Kinda ironic to win my first trophy back on the surface that I thought was my worst,” Osaka wrote on X.

WNBA

Caitlin Clark made the shot everyone came to see.

Clark stopped late in the third quarter of Sunday’s WNBA preseason game between the Indiana Fever and the Brazilian national team and launched a 3-pointer near the “22” logo on Iowa’s Carver-Hawkeye Arena court. It was the spot where she hit the shot in her senior season in 2024 that made her the all-time leading scorer in NCAA women’s basketball, and of course it went in.

This shot, with 25 seconds left in the third quarter, capped Clark’s return to the arena where she broke records on her way to becoming the NCAA Division I all-time scoring leader.

“I was like, ‘Ah, why not?’” Clark said, smiling. Had to give the fans a little something.”

Clark, starting her second season with the Fever, scored 16 points in Indiana’s 108-44 win.

Clark’s day was bookended by shots that were reminiscent of her career with Iowa’s women’s basketball team — her first 3-pointer came from the tip of the beak on Iowa’s “Tigerhawk” logo at midcourt 34 seconds into the game.

And after both shots went in, the crowd response sounded just like all the shots she made in front of sellout crowds as she led the Hawkeyes to back-to-back appearances in the NCAA national championship game in her final two seasons.

Clark, dealing with a leg injury that kept her out of Saturday’s preseason opener against the Washington Mystics, played almost 19 minutes, and that was enough to please the capacity crowd of 14,998. She finished the game making 6 of 10 shots, and added six rebounds and five assists.

RUGBY

South Africa’s men and New Zealand’s women have been crowned 2025 Rugby Sevens world champions after winning their respective finals Sunday at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, the same venue where the Olympic competition will be played in 2028.

The Olympic and world sevens league champion New Zealand women’s lineup beat Australia 31-7 in their final and went unbeaten at the tournament. South Africa beat Spain 19-5 in a surprise men’s final between teams which finished third and fourth in the league.

Canada beat the United States in the women’s bronze-medal playoff, completing a 4-0 sweep of matches against the Americans this season.

NFL

The 2027 NFL draft is heading to the nation’s capital, a person familiar with the details told The Associated Press on Sunday.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because President Trump is set to make the announcement today at the White House. The NFL declined to comment.

Washington hosting the draft two years from now is the latest off-field victory for the Commanders, a week since they reached an agreement with the D.C. government to build a stadium on the old RFK site. That is still pending council approval.
