    Top Contenders for WNBA Rookie of the Year | GSMC Hoops & Heels Women’s Sports Podcast
    Jun 29 2024
    Segment 1: Top Contenders for WNBA Rookie of the Year | GSMC Hoops & Heels Women’s Sports PodcastIn today’s episode of the GSMC Hoops & Heels Women’s Sports Podcast, we kick off with an exciting discussion about who will win the WNBA Rookie of the Year award. This prestigious accolade is given annually to the league's top first-year player based on their performance throughout the regular season. Past winners include legends like Tamika Catchings, Diana Taurasi, Candace Parker, and Breanna Stewart. Rather than predicting a single winner, I’ll share my top five contenders for this award. First on my list is Kamilla Cardoso, whose impressive physical advantage and natural athleticism have made her a standout for the Chicago Sky. Despite an early-season shoulder injury, Cardoso has become a key player, averaging 9.3 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game. Her coach, Dawn Staley, believes she has MVP potential. Next, we have Kate Martin of the Las Vegas Aces. Known initially as Caitlin Clark’s former teammate, Martin has carved out her own niche, particularly for her defensive tenacity. Although her offensive numbers might not be staggering, her impact on the team’s success is undeniable. Rickea Jackson from the Los Angeles Sparks is another top contender.Now, for the top two contenders: Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark. Reese has been a rebounding powerhouse and stellar defender for the Chicago Sky, averaging a double-double with 12.4 points and 10.8 rebounds per game. Meanwhile, Caitlin Clark, despite a rough start with turnovers, has been a playmaking marvel for the Indiana Fever, averaging 16.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 5.0 assists per game. Clark’s potential for greatness is evident, though Reese’s consistency might give her a slight edge. Tune in as we delve into these rookies' performances and their potential impact on the league.Segment 2: UFC Saudi Arabia & Team USA Boxing for Olympics | GSMC Hoops & Heels Women’s Sports Podcast Tune into the GSMC Hoops and Heels Women’s Sports Podcast, where we start by discussing the recent UFC event in Saudi Arabia, which lacked female talent but hints at change in the future. The UFC made its debut in Riyadh on June 22nd with a headline bout between Robert Whittaker and Ikram Aliskerov, where Whittaker secured a swift victory. Notably, the event had no female fighters or broadcasters, drawing criticism due to Saudi Arabia’s poor record on women’s equality. However, Turki Al-Shaikh, Saudi Minister and Chairman of the General Entertainment Authority, expressed a desire to include women in future UFC events, aligning with the Kingdom's efforts to improve its global image regarding women's rights. This change could inspire local women, boost economic benefits, and attract more sponsors, showcasing a commitment to progressive change. Next, we shift our focus to the U.S. boxing team for the upcoming Olympics. Team USA includes Alyssa Mendoza, Jajaira Gonzalez, Jennifer Lozano, and Morelle McCane, each with their unique journeys and impressive qualifications. Tune in as we delve into these athletes' stories and their potential impact at the Olympics.Segment 3: Recap of Recent NWSL Games | GSMC Hoops & Heels Women’s Sports Podcast In this segment of the GSMC Hoops & Heels Women’s Sports Podcast, we’ll be recapping recent NWSL games, starting with the matches from Sunday, June 16th, and covering key highlights through to June 22nd. The Seattle Reign FC and Portland Thorns battled to a 0-0 draw. Despite making five changes to their starting eleven, the Reign settled into the match well. Thorns forward Janine Beckie set an early aggressive tone with a yellow card just three minutes in. The Utah Royals secured their second win of the season with a late goal from Kate Del Fava, defeating Bay FC 1-0. On Wednesday, June 19, Gotham FC edged out the San Diego Wave 2-1. Rose Lavelle scored for Gotham in extra time of the first half, while San Diego’s Mya Jones equalized early in the second half. Also that day Angel City FC triumphed over Racing Louisville with a 3-2 victory. Goals by Kennedy Fuller, Rocky Rodriguez, and Sydney Leroux highlighted the match.

Barbra Banda and Marta each scored twice, with Summer Yates and Ally Watt adding to the tally. Goalkeeper Anna Moorhouse secured the team's sixth clean sheet of the year. On Saturday, June 22, the Houston Dash and San Diego Wave ended in a 0-0 draw, and the Bay FC beat Angel City FC 1-0, with Tess Boade scoring the only goal.
