Bunker converted six birdies, which included four over her final nine holes.  Arcus finished runner-up to Bunker and played six birdies.

Pick your stretch of success for Cignetti ahead of the Ohio State game \u2014 no losing seasons, 22 straight overall, 19 straight at home, or how about this \u2014 47 of his last 50 games were wins going back to the 2022 season.  But as you were reminded Saturday, sometimes Cignetti does in fact lose.  So we wondered, what happens after a Cignetti loss?  Overall in his 16 years as a head coach, Cignetti is 152-38 (.800) .\u00a0 After the first 37 losses he has gone 17-10 (.630) during games played in the same season.\u00a0 10 of his losses came in the final game of the year and thus not really connected to the next game.\u00a0 9 of the 10 end of season losses came in a postseason playoff format.  17-10 doesn\u2019t seem particularly impressive by Cignetti standards.\u00a0 But while he\u2019s never had a losing season, Cignetti\u2019s early teams at IUP and Elon weren\u2019t nearly as dominant as his James Madison and Indiana squads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In seven-plus seasons at JMU and IU, Cignetti is 5-2 in games after losses, with four more losses coming at the end of the season. And here\u2019s what you need to know about those two losses in that 5-2 mark.\u00a0 JMU actually lost three games in a row in 2022.\u00a0 The second of the three straight losses came when starting quarterback Todd Centeio was injured and did not play against Old Dominion.\u00a0 And then the following week the Dukes lost at Power 4 Louisville after being tied at halftime.  Those were JMU\u2019s only losses of the 2022 season.\u00a0 Cignetti\u2019s 47-3 run started the week after that loss at Louisville, and he hasn\u2019t lost consecutive games since \u2014 now going on four full calendar years.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a season-by-season summary.

birthday \u2014 and it&#8217;s coming with some free preseason action!  Pepper&#8217;s Birthday Party bash will happen Sunday, Dec. 13 at the Fishers Event Center, the home court for the Ignite.  The party will feature several family-centered activities including a meet-and-greet with Pepper and other Indy mascots, a visit from Santa Claus, a performance by the Ignite&#8217;s dance team (the Firestarters), holiday treats and more. That&#8217;s not all. For the first time in franchise history, the Ignite will host a preseason game against the Columbus Fury.  \u201cWe are really excited for our fans, specifically our season ticket members but also those who have never been to a pro volleyball game, to visit our amazing home court for an absolutely free event,\u201d said Carly Klanac, vice president of marketing and game day experience for the Ignite. \u201cFans will not only be able to see professional volleyball during the scrimmage, they will also experience the Ignite community. They\u2019ll receive all kinds of free gifts from our partners and get a real look at our unique game day environment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will be the first public appearance for both teams as they get ready for the 2027 Major League Volleyball season, which begins in January.  Fans will be able to make a donation to Special Olympics Indiana at the event. It&#8217;s a part of the Ignite&#8217;s ongoing effort to improve access to sports for everyone. \u201cEvery athlete deserves a place to play, and Special Olympics has spent decades making that true, both across the country and right here in our community,\u201d said Randi Raff, the team&#8221;s director of community relations. \u201cPartnering with them speaks to two of the causes we care about most as an organization: access to sport and a real sense of belonging and inclusion. We want to share our platform with the athletes at Special Olympics and help create more opportunities for Unified sports teams in Hamilton County and beyond. Pepper\u2019s Birthday Party is completely free, and when fans claim their tickets they can choose a donation amount to support Special Olympics Indiana, which serves 20,000 athletes statewide.\u201d  The event will start at 1 p.m. Fans can get their free tickets for the celebration and game<a href=\"https:\/\/am.ticketmaster.com\/ignite\/buy\/26PBD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>&nbsp;by clicking here<\/strong><\/a>.

Dick battled to a tie for second place on the individual leaderboard after shooting rounds of 72, 68 and 72 to finish at four-under 212. The second-round score of 68 was a career-best single-round score for Dick.  Through three tournaments this fall, Dick has posted an under-par scoring average of 71.9 in his nine rounds, firing five rounds of par-or-better and finishing top-20 in all three events.  The weekly honor is the second for Dick in his three years at TU and is the second for TU men\u2019s golf this fall.   Dick joined Margo Hernandez (volleyball) in receiving a weekly league accolade on Monday, bumping TU Athletics to 24 such awards during the 2026-2027 year. Dick and No. 21 Taylor will conclude their fall campaign on Monday and Tuesday at the Whistling Straits Classic in Sheboygan, Wisconsin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Taylor University Football Jumps Into NAIA Top-25<\/strong>                                                                                                                                                                     Days after handling Lawrence Tech by a 34-17 margin for its fifth win in six outings, the Taylor football program jumped from No. 32 to No. 25 in the NAIA-25 Poll, marking TU\u2019s first Top-25 ranking since the end of the 2024 season.  The Trojans came in at No. 22 in the final poll of the 2024 regular season with an overall clip of 9-2 and had not returned to the Top 25 since, despite posting an 8-3 mark in 2025 and opening the 2026 season at 5-2.
