It has been criminally underreported but Kelsey Pfendler has just rowed solo across the Pacific Ocean from the US coast to Hawaii in record time. A 2,400-mile unsupported journey in 43 days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes. Notably beating the Men’s record by 9 whole days.

#WPBL team names and logos are out: the Boston Hunters the New York Heights the Los Angeles Queens the San Francisco Firebells the reasonings behind the names are in the press release sent out to media below

New York Heights The New York Heights are inspired by Dorothy Irene Height, a pioneering civil rights and women’s rights leader from New York whose influence and leadership helped shape generations of progress for Americans. Built around the ambition, intensity and relentless standards associated with New York, the Heights identity reflects a city that expects excellence and rises to meet it. Brand identity: Graphic lines inspired by the speed of a fastball form both the New York skyline and the shape of the “H,” creating a mark rooted in movement, precision and audacity. San Francisco Firebells The San Francisco Firebells are inspired by Lillie Hitchcock Coit, known as “Firebelle,” who was a champion of San Francisco’s volunteer firefighters and benefactor of the iconic Coit Tower. Her spirit of action and civic pride became part of the city’s history. Rooted in the grit and reinvention that define San Francisco, the Firebells identity reflects a city that has always rebuilt stronger than before. Brand identity: When we are down, we come back like the phoenix, just as the city of San Francisco always has. The Firebells mark fuses a bell and phoenix into a single form - the alarm and the answer.Los Angeles Queens The Los Angeles Queens are inspired by Lizzie Murphy, known as the legendary “Queen of the Diamond,” who broke barriers as the first woman to play against major league players, and earning respect from others throughout the game. Built around the confidence, presence and cultural influence associated with Los Angeles, the Queens identity reflects a brand that is bold, modern and unapologetic. Brand identity: The crown mark reimagines four baseball diamonds into a minimalist symbol of power, prestige and the game itself. Boston Hunters The Boston Hunters are inspired by Harriot K. Hunt, the first woman to apply to Harvard Medical School and establish a successful medical practice in the U.S. A pioneering physician and activist from Boston who challenged convention and opened doors for future generations of women. Inspired by Boston’s culture of resilience, toughness and relentless drive, the Hunters identity reflects a city built on grit and determination. Brand identity: Inspired by the osprey, a focused and fearless coastal predator, the Hunters mark represents precision, instinct and action.WPBL logos: the Boston Hunters featuring an osprey carrying a bat heading downward the New York Heights with what appears to be the Empire State Building with an H hidden in the building and a baseball at the base of the building the Los Angeles Queens with a Q and four diamonds above it the San Francisco Firebells with a bell presumably on fire

What a match by the US Mixed #Curling team! I have been riveted in the matches for this team. Well done Cory and Korey! That back and forth match against the defending gold medalists & home team -> mental fortitude and shot execution at its finest. Let's go #USA

Iron sharpens iron. Can’t wait to see her continued development in the offseason and next season. Unrivaled maybe???

I spoke with Dominique Malonga about getting 1-on-1 experience going up against A'ja Wilson in the playoffs. She said she loved it and that she learned so much. Malonga said she grew 2-3 years in one day. And that her Game 2 game-winner was one of the best moments of her life. #WNBA
