San Francisco Chronicle staff writer Marisa Ingemi joins Sarah to talk about covering the Golden State Valkyries’ inaugural season, how the team’s games have become a gathering place for queer folks in the Bay Area, and the keys to the Valks getting a win in Game 2 of their opening round playoff series with the Minnesota Lynx. Plus, Vegas rolls on, the NWSL makes a good call, and we welcome a new inductee into the Good Game Hall of Fame.
