The team had a much rockier twenty 0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:14.160 twenty four, though, including the mid season firing of coach 0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:18.160 Casey Stoney, two interim coaches, and a lawsuit filed against 0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:22.959 the club by former employees.

She wrote, quote, taking mental health leave 0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:35.520 back in May wasn't optional for me.

We were saddened to learn of a 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:33.360 former player's experience. Everyone deserves safe and supportive environments on 0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:35.320 and off the field of play. Our goal is to 0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:38.720 enable our athletes, our staff, and employees to enjoy a nurturing, 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:41.320 healthy and respectful workplace for all.

End quote still sably hasn't quite been cleared 0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:58.080 for takeoff. She says she's working with the team to 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:00.360 find a new home, which hints at the idea that 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:03.320 Dallas will probably core Sobbily and then trader to a 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:07.280 new team in return for another top player. To college hoops, 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:11.280 we've got an upset alert. Unranked Louisville knocked off thirteenth 0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:13.720 ranked Georgia Tech sixty nine to sixty at home on 0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:17.320 Sunday afternoon, securing the cardinals first top twenty five wins 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:21.239 since February of twenty twenty three. Everyone who suited up scored, 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:25.160 and freshman guard Taj Roberts posted a team high sixteen points. 0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:26.960 More college Hoops. 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:29.280 The number two ranks South Carolina game Cocks put the 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:32.400 smack down on number five Texas on Sunday, cruising to 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:34.440 a sixty seven to fifty win in front of a 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:38.600 sold out home crowd eighteen thousand strong at Colonial Life Arena. 0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:40.920 Senior Tahina Pawpow and junior Chloe. 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:43.360 Kits led the way for Don Staley's bunch, both posting 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:47.880 eleven points. Junior Kayla Oldacre anchored the Longhorns with eleven 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:51.880 points and sixteen rebounds off the bench. Sc is still 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:55.320 undefeated in SEC conference play, with a Thursday matchup coming 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:58.600 up against number eighteen Alabama that they'll prepare for this week. 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:01.360 Elsewhere in college, we got to shout out the pit 0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:06.000 women's basketball team for completing the largest regulation comeback so 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:12.080 not overtime in NCAA women's basketball history against SMU on Sunday. 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:15.000 The Panthers were down thirty two points in the second quarter, 0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:19.240 then used a twenty eight to nothing third quarter to 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:22.600 take control of the contest. Sophomore guard Mikayla Johnson paced 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:25.039 pit with twenty two points and six boards off the bench, 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:27.240 and her squad ended up winning it seventy two to 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:31.800 fifty nine. Hey, SMU, quick question a zero point third 0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:34.960 quarter to tennis. It feels like just yesterday we were 0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:37.800 in Spain for the Billy Jean Kingcup, the annual conclusion 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:40.359 of the tennis season. But the players don't break for 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:42.680 long because the first grand Slam of the season, the 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:46.680 Australian Open, got underway this weekend. Arena Sabelenka is aiming 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:48.839 to become the first woman to win three straight Australian 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:51.880 Open titles since nineteen ninety nine. Sablenka opened the so 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:56.560 called Happy Slam by sweeping American Sloan Stevens on Sunday. Meanwhile, 0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:59.919 Coco Goff enters the tourney with momentum on her side 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:03.160 one the WTA finals in November. She's undefeated to start 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:07.000 twenty twenty five and earned the number three seed to 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:11.720 Alpine skiing, where Lindsay Vaughn's comeback continues. She finished fourth 0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:14.320 in a World Cup Super G in Saint Anton, Austria 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:17.200 on Sunday, her best result yet since ending her five 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:19.719 year retirement. With the result, the forty year old don 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:22.360 becomes the oldest woman to finish in the top thirty 0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:26.160 of a World Cup race. Heading into Sunday's race, Vaughn 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:28.719 held the record for the youngest American to win a 0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:30.960 World Cup speed race that includes the Super G and 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:33.560 the downhill disciplines. She set that record back in two 0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:36.760 thousand and seven, but on Sunday it was broken by 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:39.799 a teammate who wasn't alive when Vaughn made her Olympic 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:42.640 debut back in the day at age twenty two. Lauren 0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:45.520 Masuga recorded the first World Cup victory of her career 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:48.479 in Saint Anton, finishing one point twenty four seconds ahead 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:50.640 of Vaughn. Masuga also made a little bit of a 0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:53.920 statement with her attire. She raced wearing a question mark 0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:55.719 on the front of her helmet, the spot where a 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:59.000 sponsor's dame usually goes. So let's help that spot doesn't 0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:01.880 stay empty long, though, I think the price to replace 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:05.440 that question mark just went up. Finally, our thoughts are 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:08.960 with everyone impacted by the wildfires in Los Angeles, including 0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:12.640 the many athletes affected. That includes Angel City FC defender 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:15.160 and friend of the show Ali Riley, who lost her 0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:18.719 childhood home in the Palisades fire. She wrote on Instagram, quote, 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:22.360 our entire neighborhood is gone. We are all safe, holding 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:24.600 onto that with my whole heart while we figure out 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:25.359 what to do next. 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:29.760 End quote. What to do next for Ali included getting married. 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:33.080 Riley officially tied the knot on Saturday, marrying former Swedish 0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:36.000 footballer Lucas war Or Nilsen, a moment of joy for 0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:38.160 them in a very tough time. We'll link to a 0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:40.680 few organizations in the show notes where you can donate 0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:43.120 to help those impacted by the fires. 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:46.359 We got to take a quick break. 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:49.000 When we come back, we finally reveal the winners of 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:59.240 the twenty twenty four Slicy Awards.

How could you forget? 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:47.960 There's just so much stuff, and it feels like, especially 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:50.400 when like the WNBA season starts and you start to 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:52.360 think of them as professionals, you kind of forget that 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:54.120 that college season was in the same year. 0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:58.560 It's like, the reason why OSCAR nominated movies come out 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:01.800 in November in December is because people have short term memories. 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:03.200 Yeah, immediacly biased. 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:06.439 If you want women's college basketball moments.

Also a lot of 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:09.000 writings for Kaitlin Clark totally makes sense. She got four 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:11.720 write ends five if you count the person who spelled 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:15.880 her name c Ai t l y n, which we don't. 0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:19.280 But since Alex works here a good game with Sarah Spain, 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:23.199 we would never just toss aside a vote, we would 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:26.640 start researching it.
