LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan State University plans to sell alcohol at select home football games this season following a recent change to state law that permits liquor licenses to be issued to sporting venues at public universities.The Board of Trustees at Michigan State University voted unanimously Wednesday to authorize the school to request liquor licenses to sell alcohol at four football games beginning with a Sept. 16 game against the University of Washington. The board’s vote came after Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed legislation in July lifting the state’s ban on alcohol being sold at college sporting events. Whitmer said at the time that the new law would help “reduce the likelihood of binge drinking before games,” while also bringing “in a heck of a lot more revenue.”If the liquor licenses are approved by the Michigan Liquor Control Commission, the university also plans to sell alcohol at Spartan Stadium on Sept. 23 against Maryland, Oct. 21 against Michigan and...Sam Kerr scores but Australia loses to England and falls short of Women’s World Cup final

SYDNEY (AP) — It took fives games and 62 minutes for Sam Kerr to finally make her mark on the Women’s World Cup.The superstar striker’s only goal in open play of this tournament was an equalizer against England in Wednesday’s semifinal — a shot that brought the sold-out crowd of 75,784 roaring to their feet in support of the Matildas. The Australian captain pounded her chest and then raised her closed fist to the crowd, urging their supporters to help push the Matildas into their first World Cup championship game. England needed only roughly eight minutes to strike again, a Lauren Hemp goal that put the Lionesses back on top. Kerr bent over, hands on her knees, unable to grasp how quickly the game had just shifted away from Australia. And when Alessia Russo made it 3-1 for England in the closing minutes, Kerr crumpled to the field in defeat. Australia’s magical run as co-host of the World Cup had ended one game shy of the championship game — the deepest into ...Mayor Johnston gives update on homeless state of emergency
