Remarkable comeback win by #1 Northwestern field hockey over #6 Duke! The 'Cats were down 3-1 entering the 4th, but two drag flick goals from Ilse Tromp sent the game to overtime, and a remarkable run by Piper Borz created the game-winning goal, the first in Sol Martinez's college career.

In her past 12 games, Veronica Burton has dished out 77 assists with just 9 turnovers. No other player in WNBA history has ever had a 12 game stretch that featured 10 or fewer TOs and even 60 assists. An unbelievable run at the point guard position. (stats via @acrossthetimeline.com)

This was immediately after Jonquel Jones knocked her over. As a friend said, “the most Veronica Burton revenge imaginable”

veronica burton on tip hayes: “I just think she’s the coolest person ever”

Sophie Cunningham's -28 in today's game is the worst single-game +/- in a win in WNBA history. #WNBA

A bit surprised to see two players each from the Mystics and Sparks ahead of a second player (Veronica Burton) from the #3 team in the league. Hoping VB gets in as an injury replacement!

The 2026 WNBA All-Star reserves: Sonia Citron, Allisha Gray, Rhyne Howard, Kiki Iriafen, Jonquel Jones, Marina Mabrey, Dominique Malonga, Nneka Ogwumike, Kelsey Plum, Angel Reese, Courtney Williams and Jackie Young

In other news, that was absolutely the right call for the offensive foul on Gray. #WNBA

Breakdown of fan, media and player voting for WNBA All-Star starters:

It is absolutely brutal to watch at times. Every aspect of the broadcast, too

Sabreena Merchant@sabreenajm.bsky.social · 2mo ago

It’s a shame there have been so many good games on CBS this season for a broadcast that is not prepared to call the WNBA

VB keeps her streak alive! After today she will have appeared in 273 consecutive college/WNBA games for which she has been rostered, dating back to December 5th, 2018, seven games into her first season at Northwestern

Veronica Burton is AVAILABLE for the Valkyries tonight vs Portland

Today I learned that Nia Coffey is the best blocker of corner three pointers in WNBA history. Read Josiah!!

Monday Morning Point Guard: Lynx's Nia Coffey smashing one very niche record, an early review of Storm's Awa Fam, the return of Sun's Leïla Lacan, and more on the Tempo's 3PT shooting, Aces attacking mismatches in horns, Dallas' passing, and more. riseofthevalkyries.substack.com/p/monday-mor...

Career high six threes for Nia Coffey tonight in a Lynx win over the Sky! What a two day span for Northwestern alums in the W

Electric start to the WNBA season (h/t @herhoopstats.com)

Veronica Burton tonight has had one of the most impactful games on both ends I can remember a guard having in a while

Absolutely incredible basketball game. Valks nearly blew it by not calling timeout with 24.8 left, but what incredible defense down the stretch

Same as the angel overturn yesterday. If you lead with the elbow and create the contact there’s no way it should be a defensive foul and should probably be offensive, hate the call

Veronica Burton is really really really really good

There's no way Jose Fernandez really told this Prime crew that he was surprised by Jess Shepard's passing ability, right

Abominable defense tonight from the Sky. Difficult to watch. And way too much Coulibaly down the stretch for me

The ‘Cats finish 14th. They played above their level from the rest of the season all postseason long, but couldn’t quite find an extra gear. Still, a pretty successful year for a team with just one senior contributor!

Northwestern Women’s Golf slips inside the top 15 cut line at the NCAA Championships and their season will continue into Memorial Day for the 3rd year in a row! The ‘Cats will need a special Monday showing, though, to leapfrog 7 teams and a 10 stroke gap in order to reach the match play stage.

Unreal fourth quarter comeback and win for Northwestern lacrosse. Nine natties!!! So many storylines (McCollester! Foster! The Hillers do it again!) but the spectacular defense and goalkeeping from Mary Carroll and Jenika Cuocco respectively are the headlines for me

A lot of first half problems for my first in-person Sky game this year but the effort on the glass was despicable

i have been looking at some two-round mock drafts and i think 1. it is extremely likely that nick martinelli gets drafted 2. it is going to be very funny to watch NBA Guys who hate college basketball see what happens when martinelli shoots free throws

Rickea so damn good tonight. And Gabs did her thing. Ignoring a lot of the annoying stuff (refs) because the future looks pretty bright right now

Incredible from Portland. Tough timing for Nia Coffey on WNBA League Pass, who was closing out Phoenix at the exact same time
