This episode starts with something close to our hearts. We honor Danielle’s college basketball coach, Mary Beth Spirk, whose impact on the game and her players goes far beyond the court. As the longtime leader at Moravian University, her legacy lives on through the stories we share and the causes she championed, especially the Kay Yow Cancer Fund. If you’d like to support in her name, donations can be made at www.kayyow.com.

On the pitch, the United States Women's National Soccer Team faces Japan three times this week with another matchup coming up April 17 in Colorado. Can they win the series? We highlight standout performances from Rose Lavelle and Lindsey Heaps, plus the electric return of Sophia Wilson who is back on the field and already making noise after welcoming her daughter.

And buckle up because WNBA free agency is officially the Wild Wild West. With the ripple effects of a record-breaking CBA, the league is shifting fast, and Carolyn is already calling her shot on who’s taking the 2026 title.

From heartfelt tributes to red-hot winning streaks and offseason chaos, this episode has everything women’s sports fans need right now.

Denver showed UP for its newest team, the Summit, packing Empower Field at Mile High with over 60,000 fans for an electric home debut. The final score? A tie. The energy? Absolutely unmatched.

Then it’s on to March Madness, where the Sweet 16 delivered pure chaos: Notre Dame stunned Vanderbilt, and Duke pulled off a jaw-dropping buzzer-beater against LSU. Upsets, drama, and everything we love about women’s hoops.

We also break down the latest policy from the International Olympic Committee and what it means for women athletes worldwide.

Wisconsin reigns supreme as your 2026 NCAA Women’s Hockey Champions, taking down rival Ohio State in a statement win to secure back-to-back titles. We’re already looking ahead to what stars Laila Edwards and Caroline Harvey do next in the PWHL.

March Madness is delivering the drama, and Carolyn is officially all-in on Virginia after their instant-classic double OT thriller against Iowa. Cinderella run or legit contender? Their Sweet 16 showdown with TCU will tell us everything.

Meanwhile, Danielle is (once again) riding the Notre Dame hype train, but Carolyn’s not convinced, citing the “homophobic curse” as a very real obstacle to a deeper tournament run. Chaos, narratives, and a little superstition? That’s March Madness!

And in the WNBA, the future is looking brighter than ever. A brand-new CBA brings higher pay, revenue sharing, expanded family benefits, and long-overdue recognition with one-time payments for veteran players who helped build the league into what it is today.

Listen in to join the madness.

Championships, chaos, and the road to March Madness. This week in women’s sports had everything.

The Mist are officially your 2026 Unrivaled Champions, and Breanna Stewart just added another trophy to an already ridiculous résumé. We break down the title run and what the new Unrivaled basketball league means for the future of women’s hoops.

But the celebration didn’t stop at the trophy ceremony… it spilled into a reportedly wild after-party that ended with a battery charge involving Arike Ogunbowale, a reminder that nothing good happens after midnight.

On the soccer side, the USWNT team claim another trophy, winning the SheBelieves Cup with dominant performances over Canada and Colombia. We talk standout moments, what it means for the squad heading into the next international window, and why this group looks scary good.

Then it’s Champ Week in NCAA Division I Women's Basketball, and the bracket picture is coming into focus. We break down conference tournament chaos and predict the No. 1 seeds heading into Selection Sunday.

Bonus: Danielle’s preseason Final Four picks are aging like fine wine, with UConn, UCLA, Texas, and South Carolina all looking like legit title contenders.

The Olympics are over, but the U.S. women showed out. They won 8 of Team USA’s 12 gold medals, including a historic third Olympic gold for Mikaela Shiffrin and a joyful, full-circle figure skating triumph from Alysa Liu.

In hockey, Hilary Knight and Team USA defeated Canada in overtime to secure their third Olympic gold in women’s hockey, in a record-setting 5.3-million-viewer thriller that cemented their dominance. We also spend time unpacking the viral locker room video of the U.S. men’s hockey team laughing during a presidential phone call that included a joke at the women’s team’s expense.

In NCAA Basketball, the Iowa Hawkeyes handled the Michigan Wolverines for their 50th consecutive sellout, building serious momentum ahead of the Big Ten Women's Basketball Tournament.

If you’re here for women’s sports news, Olympic highlights, women’s college basketball, and unfiltered analysis that doesn’t look away when things get uncomfortable, this episode is for you.
