After rough time in Bahamas, Wildcats take long road trip to McKale CenterCHICAGO (AP) — Aidan Laughery rushed for three touchdowns and No. 22 Illinois topped Northwestern 38-28 on Saturday to reach nine victories for the first time since its 2007 Rose Bowl season. Pat Bryant dashed in to score off Luke Altmyer’s 43-yard pass early in the third quarter as Illinois (9-3, 6-3 Big Ten) struck for touchdowns just over 4 minutes apart early in the third quarter to open a 28-10 lead in what had been a tight game. Bryant's 10th receiving touchdown tied a school record. Altmyer, who threw for 170 yards, had a TD himself on a keeper from the 1-yard line early in the second quarter. David Olano added a field goal in the fourth to cap Illinois' scoring. Laughery, a sophomore running back, rushed for a career-best 172 yards and topped 100 for the first time. He entered with only one TD this season and two for his career. He had a career-long 64-yard run for a score early in the second half. Coach Bret Bielema said he wasn't surprised by Laughery's explosive performance as the Gibson City, Illinois product rounded back into form after being hampered by a hamstring injury earlier this season. “I thought today would be a day that could happen,” Bielema said. “Today some of those turned into big home run hits we've kind of been waiting on all year.” Laughery said he's been prepping for this kind of game, when he carried the ball 12 times for an average of 14.3 yards. “Finally, the opportunity was there,” said Laughery, who got the game ball. “You know you gotta' hit one and it came together today.” He credited the Illini offensive line with opening space for his breakout performance. “Those guys were covering them (Northwestern's defense) all day long,” Laughery said. “It was awesome running behind the looks we were getting” Northwestern’s Devin Turner intercepted Altmyer twice, including for a 13-yard touchdown return late in the first quarter. Thomas Gordon caught Jack Lausch's 15-yard TD pass with a minute left, then the Wildcats added a two-point conversion to complete the scoring. Northwestern (4-8, 2-7 Big Ten) didn’t pack it in as hosted its second game this season at Wrigley Field, this time on a breezy sunny day with game-time temperature of 20 degrees. It looked like the Illini might run away after Bryant’s 10th receiving touchdown 4:52 into the third. He entered tied for the Big Ten lead. But Luke Akers kicked his second field goal of the game, a 34-yarder, with 5:35 left in the third quarter to cut it to 28-13. Lausch led the Wildcats on their next possession and finished it with an 11-yard touchdown toss to A.J. Henning to narrow the Illini lead to 28-20. Then Mac Resetich intercepted Lausch’s pass 50 seconds into the fourth quarter. Laughery powered up the middle for 31 yards and his third TD about two minutes later to quell the Wildcats' momentum. Northwestern dominated in possession time — 34:32 to 25:28 —and plays — 90 to 53. The margin was even more pronounced in the first half, but the Wildcats settled for a 13-yard touchdown return on Turner’s second pick of the game with 2:14 left in the first quarter and Akers’ 21-yard field goal that opened the scoring 6:29 in. Illinois led 14-10 at the half on Laughery’s 30-yard TD run midway through the first quarter and Altmyer’s keeper 1:39 into the second. Akers missed wide to the right on a 44-yard attempt as time ran out in the half. Wide receivers down Both teams’ leading pass receivers were injured. Northwestern’s Bryce Kirtz was knocked out of the game in the first quarter with a lower-body injury after two receptions that upped his total yards to 598. Illinois’ Bryant went to the locker room with about 5 minutes left in the first half after Turner collided with him as he plucked his second interception. Bryant returned, however, for the second half. The takeaway Illinois: Is in line for a prestigious bowl game appearance and a chance to tie the school record of 10 wins, most recently set during their 2001 Sugar Bowl season. “We wanted to put ourselves in a good position on this day to get to nine wins and see where it can go,” Bielema said. “Just a fun day overall. I don't know what the future holds. It think we're a team that can play with anybody in the country.” Northwestern: Finished its second season under coach David Braun at 4-8 overall and 2-7 in the Big Ten. The Wildcats dropped their final three and five of the last six. Up next Illinois is headed to a bowl game.

It wasn't an upset in terms of seeding, as the Bluejays are the No. 2 seed and Texas is No. 3 in the Penn State regional. But Texas is a four-time national champion and one of the sport's longtime powerhouses. Creighton has never made it to the final four but will have the chance to do so in Sunday's regional final against either No. 1 seed Penn State or No. 5 Marquette. This is Creighton's second appearance in a regional final; the Bluejays advanced in 2016 but were eliminated by Texas. On Friday, Creighton won its 25th match in a row, the longest active streak in Division I. Norah Sis led Creighton with 15 kills, 3 blocks and 13 digs. Editor's Picks NCAA volleyball tournament: 16 players to watch in regionals 1d Aishwarya Kumar and Michael Voepel Pitt volleyball chases history with a hunter's mindset 8d Aishwarya Kumar Creighton men's basketball coach Greg McDermott posted on social media that his team stopped practice to watch the clinching point of the volleyball match and to celebrate the Bluejays victory. Texas' quest to become the second Division I women's volleyball team to win three NCAA titles in a row came to an end. The only school to do that is Penn State, which won four consecutive titles from 2007-10. Madisen Skinner, who has won NCAA titles at Kentucky and Texas, led the Longhorns with 23 kills Friday. Texas won NCAA championships in 1988, 2012, 2022 and 2023, plus has gone to the NCAA final four 11 other times. The Longhorns started this season ranked No. 1 in the AVCA top 25 poll, but ran into some tough times right away, losing three of their first six matches. In its first season in the SEC, Texas went 13-3, finishing second to league champion Kentucky. The Wildcats advanced Thursday to the Pittsburgh regional final, where they will face host Pitt, the No. 1 overall seed, Saturday (ESPN2, 5 p.m. ET) for a trip to the final four.
