Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:39:49 GMT

They are the defending Pioneer Football League champions and the preseason favorites to win it again, but the St. Thomas Tommies will be limping into their conference opener against Morehead State on Saturday at O’Shaughnessy Stadium — both physically and metaphorically.On the heels of losses to South Dakota and Harvard by a combined score of 69-13, the Tommies will be without six starters in their first-ever meeting with the Eagles.“We put together a nonconference schedule that would test us,” head coach Glenn Caruso said. “It absolutely has. Good teams — strong, fast, big, physical. It certainly took its toll on us physically. We’re down five starters and another player who rotated in (with the starters) from Week 1.”Despite the two lopsided losses, Caruso has no regrets about scheduling either team, or about scheduling Northern Iowa in 2021 and Southern Utah last season, two other teams that beat the Tommies soundly.“Those are foundational moments,” Caruso said. “Even though it d...

“A lot of angry people” were inside the Loons’ dressing room after they gave up a two-goal lead in a 4-3 defeat to the Los Angeles Galaxy on Wednesday.“It’s a natural thing,” manager Adrian Heath said Friday. “At times, I don’t think we have enough of it. People are not happy when you put so much effort into getting into a situation where the game is there to see out, and we don’t do it. We’ve done it too many times this year.”Minnesota United will have to channel that fresh emotion in a quick turnaround to play St. Louis City at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Allianz Field.“Until you are sick and tired of being sick and tired of the situation, then it won’t change,” Heath said.The Loons (9-10-10, 37 points) fell out of the nine-team Western Conference playoff field with the meltdown loss at L.A., while St. Louis (15-10-5, 50 points) sits in first place and just clinched an MLS Cup Playoffs spot on Wednesday.Heath said a no-holds-barred locker room often has a few louder players, and the tea...
