Fastballs & Fast Breaks: Catch Up on Women’s Sports
Episode Summary
In this episode of Play Like A They, Monica and Sara cover all the chaos and celebration happening in women’s sports—from million-dollar softball deals to early-season WNBA shakeups.
They kick things off with college softball, where Texas just claimed the national title and Texas Tech nearly pulled off the upset with a pitcher backed by a record-setting NIL deal. Sara breaks down what it means for the future of the game, why it matters when schools invest in women athletes, and how Athletes Unlimited is flipping the pro league model on its head (shoutout to Bandits fans).
Then it’s WNBA time: the Liberty and Lynx are dominating, the Wings are struggling, and the Valkyries are out here proving what team chemistry can really do. They talk fantasy picks, expansion hype, and why scrappy playmakers deserve just as much love as the big names.
