EP 327: Happy Women's Sports New Year!

Host Erin Foley kicks off 2026 with a jam-packed rundown across women's sports, starting with a spotlight on Origin Story: The 85ers — the seven-episode documentary series about the first U.S. Women's National Team. It's an unforgettable story of grit, joy, sacrifice, and the women who built the foundation for today's game. From there, we dive into a wild weekend in NCAA women's basketball, where upsets shook the rankings — LSU's back-to-back losses including the matchup with Vanderbilt, Notre Dame dropping two, Maryland and Michigan taking hits, and UCLA's statement win over USC. But wait, there's more! Unrivaled officially starts its second second season, running through early March in Miami and a special Philadelphia stop. We also look at the start of a new season for two professional women's volleyball leagues — LOVB and Major League Volleyball. Plus, the feel good moment of the week! Follow Erin on Social!
