The new season of the hit show "Ted Lasso" is about a women's team, and the first episode features scenes from CPKC Park with the Kansas City Current. Given the wide appeal of the show, it's one of the best opportunities the #NWSL has had to reach a new audience. More about the filming on ESPN 👇

It is so refreshing to see Olivia Miles going viral every night for beautiful basketball plays rather than agenda-pushing. If you love basketball, you can't help but get swept away by how brilliant her game is.

Last week another trio of #MNAurora players signed their first pro contracts, bringing the total to four in just a few weeks.

Three more Minnesota Aurora players signed their first professional contract last week, continuing what has become one of the best pipelines in the US.
