The Indiana Fever’s social media team behaves exactly like one should that has Caitlin Clark on the roster. Which means they recognize her accomplishments whenever possible. That was the case again with a recent post touting her record-breaking assists totals as a rookie.
However in this instance, the content came in sharp contrast to the botched praise by the WNBA on the previous day. Coincidental, or maybe not, the Fever made no mistake in highlighting Clark’s accomplishments.
point guard Caitlin Clark this season
– WNBA leader in APG (8.4)
– Most AST in a season in WNBA history (337)
– Most career 10+ AST games in franchise history (12)
– Most AST by a rookie in All-Star Game history (10)#WNBAAssistsWeek pic.twitter.com/bq7Yla1UIr— Indiana Fever (@IndianaFever) November 9, 2024
The WNBA had put out a much maligned Clark post as part of assists week that included an inaccurate number for her record total, saying she had 321 on the season when the correct stat was actually 337. It received a community note on X and was eventually deleted.
official wnba account got community noted https://t.co/ChzbNNVs8J pic.twitter.com/wWC0cpsIoo

The league’s official account followed that up by making another error, showcasing an assist from Chelsea Gray of the Las Vegas Aces. The problem was that the play, which came against the Fever, was from 2023. That was also deleted before another Gray assist was posted, also coming against Indiana.
the incompetence of the official @WNBA account continues. now they name a Chelsea Gray assist from *checks notes* 2023 as the best assist of the 2024 season. lmfao cant make this shit up. pic.twitter.com/ZB35cypfYT

All of this perhaps emboldened the Fever’s admin to set the record straight. The team’s…
Coming off a regulation loss on Friday night in the Lehigh Valley to snap their four-game winning streak, the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins turned right around and hosted the Rochester Americans on Saturday night at Mohegan Sun Arena.
After another fast start, the Penguins held on for the win this time, 5-0.
What it means
The win improves the Penguins to 8-3-0-0 overall and 5-1-0-0 at Mohegan Sun Arena. Rocehster drops to 7-4-0-0 overall and 5-2-0-0 overall. The Penguins compete in the Atlantic Division while the Amerks are in the highly competitive North Division.
How it started
Just like Friday night when they got off to a fast start, the Penguins led, 2-0, at the end of the first period.
Corey Andonovski got the Penguins on the board at 6:33 of the first period when he scored his first goal of the season. Joona Koppanen earned his third assist on the goal while Mac Hollowell was credited with his eighth.
The first period proved a night of firsts for a pair of Penguins as Matt Nieto gave Wilkes-Barre/Scranton a 2-0 lead at 18:44 with his first goal of the season. Jonathan Gruden received his first assist of the season while Boris Katchouk got his second.
One for two
The Penguins took a 3-0 lead at 11:19 of the second period when Tristan Broz scored his fifth goal of the season. The assists went to Filip Kral, his third, and Emil Bemstrom, his eighth.
Two for three
With a three-goal lead heading to the third period, the Penguins kept the pressure on by scoring two goals, one of them on the power play, to ice the win.
Rutger McGroarty scored his first of the season at 4:23 with the assists going to Puoulin, his fifth, and Bemstrom, his ninth. That goal came on the power play.
Broz added more than enough of insurance with his second…
Forward Matt Nieto scored a goal as he made his season debut for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins in a 5-0 shutout of the Rochester Americans at Mohegan Sun Arena in Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.
Assigned to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton for conditioning purposes earlier in the day, Nieto had not played a game at any level since he skated for the Pittsburgh Penguins in a 4-2 road win against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Nov. 30, 2023. A pair of knee injuries have sidelined him since then. As his NHL status is concerned, he is currently designated to long-term injured reserve.
Goaltender Filip Larsson made 36 saves to record his second shutout of the season and improved his record to 2-2-0.
Forwards Tristan Broz scored two goals for the Penguins (8-3-0) while forward Emil Bemstrom and defenseman Mac Hollowell each recorded two assists. Forward Rutger McGroarty scored his first professional goal.
Highlights:
The Penguins’ next game is a road contest against the rival Lehigh Valley Phantoms on Wednesday, 7:05 p.m.
Goaltender Sergei Murashov made 27 saves on 30 shots for the Wheeling Nailers in a 4-3 win against the Trois-Rivières Lions at WesBanco Arena in Wheeling, W.Va.
The result boosted Murashov’s record to 3-2-0-0. Forward Kyle Jackson had a goal and two assists for Wheeling (5-3-1-0) while forward Mathieu De St. Phalle contributed a goal and an assist.
Highlights:
The Nailers’ next game is a home contest against the Fort Wayne Komets on Tuesday, 10:45 a.m.
Follow the Penguins all season long.

On Saturday, November 9th, Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys brought his 2024 “Who I Am” tour to The Cabaret Theatre at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut.
“The important thing in life is not victory but combat; it is not to have vanquished but to have fought well,” said French educator and historian Pierre de Coubertin. Nick Carter is such an individual.
Morning ‘Listening Party’
In the morning, Carter hosted an album “Listening Party,” where he was able to play a few songs acoustic (the Backstreet Boys hits “Larger Than Life” and “As Long As You Love Me,” as well as his solo single “Help Me”), for an intimate group of fans.
Carter shared that he is re-recording “Help Me” at the moment, and he also shared eight new songs that are previously unreleased… and with the help of his fans, they were asked to vote on their favorite ones, to help him select the best ones that will make it on the new album.

He also allowed the fans to ask him questions about each of the new tunes.
Without giving too much away (on his new songs), they were all eclectic and well-crafted that it will be a difficult decision for him, especially since each tune has its own identity.
Soundcheck experience
During the soundcheck and meet and greet experience, which took place later on in the day, Carter sang “80s Movie,” a cover of ZZ Top’s “Sharp Dressed Man,” and the infectious “Made For Us,” which had a retro ’80s vibe to it.
Carter also sang “Help Me” while the song’s music video played on the…
SPRAGUE — After helping the Berlin boys golf team win the 2024 DII golf state championship, Berlin sophomore Brennan Meyers qualified to play in the 2024 New England Boys Golf Championship which was held on Monday, October 28, at the Mohegan Sun Golf Course, in Baltic, Connecticut.
Not only did Meyers qualify for the event, but he showed why he is one of the best high school golfers in the state of Connecticut and New England for that matter.
Meyers had an overall score of 70 and tied for second place out of 72 golfers. Meyers was also just one of two underclassmen (freshman Luke Kowalchik, Fairfield Prep) to place in the top-15 at the event.
Meyers said that it was a great experience to compete against the best golfers in New England, which included some familiar faces that he’s competed against before. He said that while he is satisfied with placing second, he would have been more excited to finish in first place.
“It was exciting,” said Meyers. “I knew a few of the kids there, I also had confidence in myself. After coming in second place it was really exciting. I would have been more excited if I won, but it’s alright. Second is really for New England’s, so I’ll take it.”
Meyers found out right after the team won the DII state title that he qualified for the event, courtesy of his 71 overall score, which was the second best for all DII golfers.
Heading into the New England Championship, Meyers said he continued to practice each day, getting encouragement from his coaches and teammates. He said that he was able to get some pointers on what holes to watch out for on the course from some of his teammates that have played at the course before.
Placing second place at the New England…
Licensed Betting Operators May Not Offer Election Wagers

“We know elections sometimes feel like a sport, but the reality is they are not,” said DCP Commissioner Bryan T.

The three online platforms authorized to offer sports wagers in Connecticut are:
- DraftKings, through their affiliation with Foxwoods Casino
- FanDuel, through their affiliation with Mohegan Sun
- Fanatics, through their affiliation with the Connecticut Lottery Corporation
Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods Casino also offer retail sports wagering at their casinos.
In addition, there are 10 retail locations licensed to offer wagers through their affiliation with the Connecticut Lottery Corporation. Retail establishments licensed to take wagers are:
- Bobby V’s Stamford
- Bobby V’s Windsor Locks
