A'ja Wilson wins her 5th WNBA MVP, and 3rd in a row. 65 of 74 first place votes. Olivia Miles finishes 2nd, gets six first-place votes. Only Candace Parker ('08 MVP and ROTY) had previously finished top-two in MVP voting as a rookie. Mitchell, Clark and Stewart round out top 5.

Wow that game was awesome

Why this Wayzata soccer standout chose North Carolina on her path to the pros

Hey hey, we're live blogging the Wolves preseason opener over here at the Star Tribune. Come on in, ask questions, leave comments, whatever you want!

I should say *college women’s sports, generally

Great for my fantasy team!

I'm thinking about our winter women's sports coverage (Frost/PWHL, Gophers sports, pro volleyball teams debuting, etc.) — any particular stories folks want to see? I'm hoping to really spend some thoughtful time with deeper/more complex stories, and am curious what people are curious about!

Wow what a game no matter how this ends

What sort of IcyHot did they give Arike

20-0 Dallas run… sheeeesh

Darn I didn’t even think about that yet… oof

Lowkey if it’s based on how expansion went last year they’re superrrrr lucky to be in the west 😭

First round is best-of-3, the others still best-of-5. Top conf. team gets to pick between 3rd/4th place in each conference still.

This year’s playoffs will feature eight teams and three rounds. The top four teams from each conference will make the playoffs.

Some interesting new twists to the Frost schedule this year. The PWHL will have East/West Conferences. MN will be in the Western Conf. w/ Seattle, Vancouver, Detroit, Las Vegas and San Jose, making the Frost the only OG six team in the west.
