VANCOUVER - Zander Horvath drove in three touchdowns and the B.C. Lions held on for a 48-29 victory over the Montreal Alouettes on Saturday.

Lions quarterback Nathan Rourke made good on 24 of his 33 attempts for 317 passing yards, connecting with Keon Hatcher Sr. for a second-quarter touchdown.

The Canadian added 77 rushing yards and drove in a major of his own, while defensive lineman Casey Sayles also notched a TD for B.C. (7-6). Sean Whyte made a pair of field goals, including a 42-yard kick late in the game's final minutes.

Aaronson, Hansen guide Rapids to 1-0 win over CF Montreal

The Associated Press 1 minute read Yesterday at 10:55 PM CDT

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (AP) — Paxten Aaronson scored on a penalty kick late in the first half and Nico Hansen made it stand up for the Colorado Rapids in a 1-0 Major League Soccer victory over CF Montreal on Saturday night.

Aaronson's PK goal came in the 43rd minute and was awarded after Donavan Phillip was fouled by Montreal defender Viktor Radojević. It was Aaronson's career-high sixth goal of the season.

Hansen finished with five saves for Colorado (11-12-2). The 25-year-old has six clean sheets in 14 starts this season while surrendering only 14 goals. He had three shutouts in 10 starts as a rookie last season with 14 goals allowed.

Sebastian Breza saved five shots for Montreal (5-14-6) in his ninth start of the season.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Antoine Griezmann scored for the eighth time in 10 matches, and rookie Harvey Sarajian notched his first goal and assist to spark Orlando City to a 3-0 Major League Soccer victory over Toronto FC on Saturday night.

Maxime Crépeau finished with two saves in each half for Orlando City (10-11-4), which has won three in a row while extending its unbeaten streak to six. It was his fourth shutout in 24 starts this season.

Orlando City took a 1-0 lead into the second half when Griezmann scored in the first minute of stoppage time with assists from 20-year-old rookie defender Zakaria Taifi and Marco Pašalić. Taifi has three assists and Pašalić two.

Orlando City added an insurance goal in the 82nd minute when rookie forward Sarajian took a pass from Daryl Dike and scored in his seventh appearance — all as a substitute. Sarajian subbed in to the match two minutes prior to scoring. Dike picked up his second assist in six appearances after entering in the 65th minute.

EDMONTON - The longest CFL playoff drought in Edmonton football history has finally come to an end.

Joe Robustelli caught a pair of touchdown passes as the Edmonton Elks clinched a playoff berth for the first time since 2019 with a 53-16 rout over the rival Calgary Stampeders in the Labour Day rematch on Saturday.

Edmonton, which won its fourth straight game to improve to 10-3, snapped a five-year run of post-season futility which was the team's worst since the 1960s.

“That felt really good, a three-phase win,” said Elks head coach Mark Kilam. “This place was rocking, too. What we’re trying to build this place into, it’s going to be a hard place to come play in the playoffs.

George Chuvalo went 73-18-4 with 64 knockouts between 1956 and 1978. Some 50 years after his milestone fight with Muhammad Ali, here is a look at some of the top fights of the Toronto heavyweight's career:

Sept. 9, 1958: Chuvalo knocks out James J. Parks in the first round to win the vacant Canadian heavyweight championship, a title he would hold for most of the next 20 years.

Sept. 19, 1963: Muhammad Ali watches at ringside and dismissively dubs Chuvalo "The Washerwoman" for his left-right attacks in a win by majority decision over Mike DeJohn in Louisville, Ky.

Feb. 1, 1965: The Ring magazine names this nasty bout the fight of the year after Chuvalo loses a wild, 12-round decision to Floyd Patterson at Madison Square Garden.

NEW YORK (AP) — Elena Rybakina won her first U.S. Open title and punctuated her climb to the top of women’s tennis by beating Aryna Sabalenka 6-4, 5-7, 6-2 on Saturday.

Rybakina had already been guaranteed to replace Sabalenka at No. 1 in the rankings next week and for good measure took the U.S. Open title that Sabalenka had won the previous two years.

“It’s tough to find words right now, honestly,” Rybakina said. “I don’t expect nothing like this coming to this tournament. I’ve been dealing with a little bit with an injury, but somehow everything aligned together on my side.”

It was the third Grand Slam title for Rybakina and the second this year — both against Sabalenka on hard courts. She opened the season by beating Sabalenka for the Australian Open title.

TORONTO - McLeod Bethel-Thompson doesn't believe in moral victories.

Lirim Hajrullahu's 29-yard walk off field goal earned the Toronto Argonauts a 26-23 victory over Ottawa on Saturday. But twice late in the contest the hard-luck Redblacks squandered opportunities to earn their first win.

"There are no moral victories when your backs are against the wall like this," said the veteran quarterback. "If you don't get that zero, that goose egg, off the board it means nothing.

"Just disappointed I played my role in the trials and tribulations of this tough season … I've been through a lot of tough times and here's another one right in front of your face."

It's officially scoreboard-watching season and the Blue Jays are doing their share.

Saturday's results trimmed the Guardians' lead over the Blue Jays to just one game. Toronto holds the tiebreaker between the clubs, giving each matchup a must-win feel over the next fortnight.
