COLONIAL CONFERENCE: The Southern Maine Raging Bulls fell just short of the league championship Saturday night, losing on the road to the Boston Bandits, 20-17.
The Raging Bulls finished with a 7-4 record. The Bandits were 9-2.
SOCCER
MLS: Atlanta United scored two first-half goals and held on for a 2-1 victory over the Chicago Fire, setting another league attendance record and securing a spot in the 2019 CONCACAF Champions League.
Atlanta drew its seventh 70,000-plus crowd of the season, finishing with a total of 901,033 fans for a per-game average of 53,002. That easily eclipsed the mark of 48,200 that was set in its inaugural season a year ago.
PREMIER LEAGUE: Everton substitutes Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Cenk Tosun scored late in a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace at Liverpool.
HORSE RACING
TRAINER DIES: Richard Violette Jr., a thoroughbred trainer who advocated on behalf of racetrack backstretch workers and improved care for retired racehorses, died at his home in Delray Beach, Florida, after a long struggle with lung cancer. He was 65.
Violette had trained Diversify to victories in the Grade 2 Suburban and Grade 1 Whitney handicaps last summer, as well as last year’s Grade 1 Jockey Club Gold Cup. The 5-year-old gelding has earned nearly $2 million with 10 wins in 16 starts.

The previous best for the two Americans, who have been skating together since 2011, are defending U.S. champions and competed at this year’s Olympics, was 197.42 at last month’s U.S. International Classic in Salt Lake City, which they won for the fourth straight year.
