Hold the phone! Cami Privett also got hitched and has a baby!
Another player who doesn't get enough credit. I have already told my Cami Privett story too many times, so I'll just say: she makes an impression with how she carries herself on the field & off
Great player, hilarious person
Congrats!

I'm way behind because I don't have Insta, but congrats to Megan Shanosky (née Crosson) on getting married and having a baby!
Megan was so fun to watch and super nice when I met her one time. The Spirit (awful coach and owner at the time) didn't appreciate her, but we did.

I have my first two 2026 Spirit season goals:
1. Get official Spirit license plates, at least in VA
2. Get our pregame bar to introduce a Haley Carterita, and buy her one
I trust @spiritsquadron.bsky.social will get on board with these audacious goals.

This place gonna turn into group therapy real quick here I fear.
And now comes my deep, dark depression of the NCAA WoSo offseason where I get to suffer through NWSL leadership stepping on rakes for eight months.

I would love to call out these amazing players and hope for them to come to the NWSL.
But I cannot right now because it remains to be seen whether the NWSL owners will actually honor the CBA.
I look forward to all of them going pro if that is their desire. Even if that's not in the NWSL.

Kate Ockene delivers one of the best ever goalkeeping performances in an NCAA final and FSU's late goal from Wrianna Hudson delivers the Noles their fifth national title at the expense of Stanford.

Good job ESPNU giving props to the keeper. She was awesome.

I respect the no-PK decision. And I think it just shows that you *have* to ref the final like it's any other game. If fate forces you to make a decisive call, that's your job.
Congrats FSU. Good win. National champs.

I really like @annieelliott.bsky.social ideas about holding fresh attacking legs in reserve.
I would add that a style/formation shift resulting from a sub can also create an opening to score.

The league is actively expanding. They’re courting investors and advertisers on the premise of the league as a worthy investment.
At the same time, they’re telling the NWSLPA that it’s unreasonable to assume the next media deal can provide the revenue for Trinity Rodman’s proposed contract.

As things stand now, the NWSL isn’t fighting for Trinity Rodman. It’s fighting against her, and shadowboxing with its own potential in the process.

NWSL said it would fight for Trinity Rodman. It’s only fighting with itself
One way or the other, the league will set a precedent with Rodman. The NWSL has the power to choose what that looks like.

If the NWSL doesn't watch out, not only will it wind up like MLS as a feeder/has been league, but the USL is right there and 1st Div.
It will take time, but not fixing things before Trin leaves is a step in that direction.

If this comes to pass, I will be very glad we have Haley pursuing this consolation deal.
So if the Spirit lose Trinity, but the NWSLPA gets even a modest win, I expect Kang to make and seal an offer for at least one NWSL superstar (Banda, Chawinga, Swanson, Smith, Moultrie, etc. etc.)

The league itself pointed to the absence of stars, l including Rodman, as an explanation for a midseason ratings dip.

Something is preventing the NWSL from finding creative solutions that preserve parity and don't suppress wages.
