Tomorrow on FOX UFL Friday, the undefeated Dallas Renegades (3-0) are on the road to face the Columbus Aviators (0-3) at Historic Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio. Closing things out, we've got a doubleheader on Saturday. Up first, the St. Louis Battlehawks (2-1) are taking on the reigning champion DC Defenders (2-1) at Audi Field in Washington, D.C., followed by undefeated Orlando Storm battling the beloved Birmingham Stallions (1-2) at Protective Stadium in Birmingham, Alabama. Here are the results from Week 4: Louisville Kings 24, Houston Gamblers 22 (OT) Key players: Kings QB Jason Bean (17-for-34 for 192 yards), LB Cam Gill (eight tackles, 2.0 sacks, one tackle for loss, one forced fumble), K Tanner Brown (5-for-6, long of 59); Gamblers QB Taulia Tagovailoa (7-for-14 for 64 yards, one rushing touchdown), RB Marcus Yarns (eight carries for 111 yards, one touchdown), WR Justin Hall (4-for-6 for 44 yards), DE Christopher Allen (four tackles, 2.0 sacks, two tackles for loss), K John Hoyland (3-for-4, long of 58). Game recap: Both teams nailed field goals on their opening drives to make it a 3-all game late in the first quarter. Louisville went on a 10-play, 60-yard touchdown drive to take a 10-3 lead early in the second quarter. The road team followed that up with another field goal to extend its lead to 13-3. Houston, on the other hand, had a rocky second quarter. They went three-and-out and then turned the ball over on downs to start. The Gamblers were able to knock in another field goal this one from 59 yards out with just over a minute to play until halftime to pull within single digits, 13-6. The Kings got the last word, however, squeezing in one more field goal with seven seconds to spare to take a 10-point lead, 16-6, in the break. Houston came to life in the second half. On the first play from scrimmage in the second half, the Gamblers exploded for a monster 68-yard rushing score to make it a four-point game, 16-12. They followed that up with another scoring drive to take their first lead of the game, 19-16. The Kings opened the third quarter with back-to-back three-and-outs, and that proved catastrophic. With momentum on their side, the Gamblers added another field goal to extend their lead to 22-16 headed into the final frame. In the fourth quarter, the Kings were able to settle in and rattle off back-to-back field goals to knot things up at 22-all. The Gamblers had a chance to take over with roughly a minute remaining in regulation, but a missed field goal from 38 yards kept them from doing so and sent things into overtime. In the UFL, overtime starts in a shootout format where teams alternate two-point conversion attempts from the 5-yard line three times. The Kings converted on their first attempt, and the Gamblers didn't, ending things right then and there.

Though K.J. Kindlers squad led from start to finish, the battle between No. 13 Minnesota and Jordan Chiles UCLA Bruins came down to the final rotation.The Sooners are familiar faces in the national championship, having won seven of the last 10. However, todays result makes history for the Minnesota Golden Gophers as the programs first appearance in the Four on the Floor. Head Coach Jenny Hansens squad is now guaranteed its best finish in program history. "Im still in a little disbelief," Hansen said to ESPN. With their 1-2 finish, the Sooners and Golden Gophers will join No. 2 LSU and No. 3 Florida in Saturdays National Championship. The Tigers and Gators punched their tickets earlier in the day in Fort Worth, beating Georgia and Stanford. National Semifinal II Results:Oklahoma: 198.300Minnesota: 197.4625UCLA: 197.275Arkansas: 196.9625Todays semifinals produced the individual NCAA champions in the all-around and on all four events. After not competing all-around or floor exercise during the regular season, senior Faith Torrez clinched her first all-around title after key errors from Kailin Chio (LSU) and Jordan Chiles. Oklahomas Keira Wells clinched the vault title with a near-perfect 9.975, edging out Chio and Kaliya Lincoln (LSU), who settled for silver. Florida senior Riley McCusker claimed the individual title on bars, the first NCAA title for the gymnast after winning the SEC title in 2025.Minnesota made more history, with Brooklyn Rowray winning beam to become the programs first national champion since 1990 and only its second ever. Despite a disappointing all-around effort, Jordan Chiles claimed her second NCAA title on the floor in the final floor routine of her collegiate career. Individual NCAA Champions:All-Around: Faith Torrez (Oklahoma)Vault: Keira Wells (Oklahoma)Uneven Bars: Riley McCusker (Florida)Balance Beam: Brooklyn Rowray (Minnesota)Floor Exercise: Jordan Chiles (UCLA)Fort Worth Play-by-PlayRotation One: Oklahoma Sooners Open with HistoryRotating in Olympic order, the Sooners started their title campaign on vault. There was no settling into the equipment: Oklahoma opened with a near-perfect 9.975 from Keira Wells, and closed the rotation with five stuck vaults. The efforts earned a staggering 49.750 event total the highest of the season and the second highest vault score in program history. While there was no keeping up with the historic mark from the Sooners, the Minnesota Golden Gophers delivered on the most precarious event to start their night. Known for their abilities on beam, the Gophers posted a strong 49.3875 to place second after one rotation. Senior Brooklyn Rowray delivered a stunning routine in the penultimate spot, earning a 9.9625. The Arkansas Razorbacks opened on the floor exercise, one of their stronger events. Though Jordyn Wiebers squad began their meet tentatively, with an error in the leadoff spot and scores in the lower 9.8s, Lauren Williams and Joscelyn Roberson delivered back-to-back scores of 9.9+ to keep the Razorbacks in contention. Jordan Chiles and the UCLA Bruins opened their night on bars, an event where Chiles is the defending NCAA Champion. Though the rotation produced multiple respectable scores of 9.8 or higher, UCLA fans waited for a reliable score of 9.95+ from Chiles. However, in a shocking turn of events, the Olympian fell on her opening handstand her first fall of the season. Within seconds, the No. 2 gymnast in the nation was out of the all-around race and would not defend her bars title. Though Chiles fall was shocking, a solid team total kept the Bruins in contention. After One: 1. Oklahoma: 49.750, 2. Minnesota 49.3875, 3. Arkansas: 49.300, 4. UCLA: 49.2625Rotation Two: Competition SteadiesThe Sooners looked poised to run away with the competition after one, but in rotation two, their lead waned. After sticking all but one vault to open the meet, the Sooners had trouble sticking their landings on bars until the final few athletes. Senior Faith Torrez capped the rotation with a team-best 9.95. On the floor, Minnesota delivered the scores necessary to hold the coveted second-place spot. The Golden Gophers were a pillar of consistency, recording no score below 9.8375 and ending their rotation with two-straight scores of 9.9 or higher.After a shaky start on bars, the UCLA Bruins responded to adversity on beam with a huge 49.4875. Putting the fluke bars fall behind her, Chiles delivered one of the best routines of her career for a 9.95 in the anchor spot. Needing a big total on vault, the Arkansas Razorbacks looked up to the task in Fort Worth. After weeks of inconsistent landings, freshman Alison Cucci hit when it mattered most, sticking her Yurchenko 1.5 for a career-high 9.9375. Leah Smith and Morgan Price added a pair of 9.900s to keep Arkansas in contention. After Two: 1. Oklahoma: 99.225, 2. Minnesota 98.825, 3. UCLA: 98.7500, Arkansas: 98.6750Rotation Three: UCLA Fights BackIn rotation three, the Sooners headed to beam another strength. The Sooners cruised through another event, recording a huge 49.5375. Torrez led the way once more, closing the rotation with her second consecutive 9.95. UCLA needed a huge floor rotation to hurdle Minnesota, and the Bruins delivered. Freshman and former elite gymnast Ashlee Sullivan tallied a huge 9.9375 in the penultimate spot, setting Jordan Chiles up for perfect-ten-potential. Chiles came close, earning a 10.0 from three judges for a 9.975 average. With vault as their lowest-scoring event, Minnesota simply needed to minimize the bleeding and survive to bars. The Gophers only stuck one vault, but managed clean routines across the lineup. Freshman Arianna Ostrum capped the rotation emphatically, sticking her Yurchenko 1.5 for a 9.925. After dialing in their landings on vault, the Arkansas Razorbacks partially lost their way on bars, posting three scores at 9.8 or lower. Morgan Price helped salvage the rotation, earning a fantastic 9.9125 in the anchor spot.After Three: 1. Oklahoma: 148.7625, 2. UCLA 148.300, 3. Minnesota: 148.075, Arkansas: 147.875.Rotation Four: Minnesota TriumphsThough the Sooners ticket was all but punched, a battle was unfolding between UCLA and Minnesota. UCLA headed to the vault a harder event to perfect and Minnesota went to bars. It would all come down to landings to determine the second and final qualifying team for Saturdays championship.For UCLA, landings quickly went awry. Midway through the lineup, a shocking fall from senior Katelyn Rosen shook the lineup, leading to a major error from the next athlete up. Though Jordan Chiles closed the rotation with a solid vault, it was too little too late. While UCLA stumbled, Minnesota thrived on bars. Freshman Lacie Saltzmann delivered the best routine of her young career for a 9.9625, nearly sealing the deal for the Golden Gophers. Needing just a 9.8375 to clinch the win over UCLA, former Irish elite Emma Slevin posted a 9.85 to make history for the Gophers. This article was originally published on Forbes.com
