    Women’s sports delivered chaos, clutch moments, and history this week.

Head coach Marissa Young continues building a powerhouse in record time. In Unrivaled action, the Point Gawd reminded everyone why she owns the nickname. Chelsea Gray stormed back to take the 1v1 crown, securing the $200K championship win in a trophy-stacking year. Next stop: Unrivaled playoffs at Barclays Center. In NCAA women’s basketball, the madness is already here. Vanderbilt beat Texas behind a scoring explosion from Mikayla Blakes. South Carolina took down LSU in Dawn Staley’s 500th win.

    WNBA CBA Standoff, Unrivaled, & Lindsey Vonn |109|

    There’s still no collective bargaining agreement (CBA) for WNBA players and league executives are reportedly showing up to meetings empty-handed. If the WNBA can’t lock in a deal that supports player salaries, revenue sharing, and long-term growth, could Unrivaled shake up the women’s basketball landscape? Over in Unrivaled, the Hive are scrambling to pull it together, but is it too little, too late for a playoff push? We’re also sending support to Rickea Jackson after her ex-boyfriend was charged with aggravated battery. The media coverage of the incident is skewed and disturbing. At the Winter Olympics, Lindsey Vonn is facing major backlash for competing on a torn ACL because the internet still loves telling elite female athletes what to do with their bodies. We unpack the double standards in sports media and the ongoing policing of women’s choices. We promise we close on a high note, celebrating Breezy Johnson for earning Team USA’s first medal at the Milano Cortina Games because women’s sports victories deserve the loudest applause.

    Philly is Unrivaled, Australian Open, & Milano Cortina Winter Olympics |108|

    Philly is officially Unrivaled. The City of Brotherly Love hosted two electric games, and Marina Mabrey stole the spotlight with a jaw-dropping 47-point eruption in front of 21,000 buzzing fans. Over in the NWSL, Trinity Rodman locked in a historic contract to stay with the Washington Spirit, igniting league-wide conversations about the new High Impact Player rule and what’s next with the Players Association. But for now, women’s soccer fans can celebrate keeping a generational talent on U.S. soil. On the tennis courts, Elena Rybakina claimed the first Grand Slam of the year at the Australian Open. Her celebration may have been ice-cold, but her game was anything but. She brought pure power, ruthless precision, and a statement win to set the tone for the season. Then we flip into full Olympic preview mode as the road to the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics heats up. From Lindsey Vonn’s return to competitive skiing to Mikaela Shiffrin’s redemption arc, plus the always-intense USA vs. Canada women’s hockey rivalry, we break down everything you need to know. Add in figure skating dream teams and brand-new Olympic events, and this episode is packed wall-to-wall with must-know updates across women’s sports.

    USWNT star Lindsey Heaps is officially headed to the Denver Summit, and the Mile High City is buzzing about what her arrival means for the future of women’s soccer in Colorado.

    LSU beats Texas, Unrivaled, & U.S. Figure Skating |105|

    In NCAA Basketball, LSU hands Texas their first loss of the season, and we’re breaking down the two-way dominance of Mikaylah Williams on both ends of the floor. Unrivaled is officially back, and Chelsea Gray is once again proving why she’s the Point Gawd.

    Heated Rivalry, NCAA Basketball, & PWHL |104|

    We are coming to the cottage because Heated Rivalry has officially taken over our lives. Yes, this is a women’s sports podcast, but when a romance book becomes a full-blown cultural phenomenon, we have no choice but to talk about Heated Rivalry. From there, we dream up the women’s sports stories we need to see adapted for the big screen (Hollywood, are you listening?). Then it’s back to the action. We break down Kentucky’s statement win over the LSU Tigers, handing LSU their first loss of the season on a buzzer beater. Plus, we hit the ice to recap the Seattle Torrent’s thrilling shootout victory over the Toronto Sceptres because women’s hockey drama always delivers. Romance novels, buzzer-beaters, and shootout chaos? This episode is a must listen. If you rate Women’s Sports Weekly 5 stars, send a screenshot and you will receive a sticker!

    Best of Women’s Sports Weekly 2025 Part 2 |103|

    Happy New Year’s Eve! We’re closing out the year with Part 2 of the Best of Women’s Sports Weekly, a greatest-hits chaos compilation packed with women’s sports, pop culture, and just the right amount of nonsense. From Caitlin Clark’s astrological sign to Matthew McConaughey, this episode is a highlight-reel of everything we do best. We take you inside Unrivaled practice, relive peak March Madness when TCU stunned Notre Dame in the Sweet 16, and tackle big-picture debates like whether women can really have it all. Along the way, things get aggressively New Jersey, unexpectedly educational with fat bears, and delightfully unhinged with press conference reactions to Cathy Engelbert, plus some truly unforgettable bathroom humor. Women’s basketball, women’s sports culture, hot takes, and end-of-year laughs all in one place. You don’t want to miss this one.
