Good Game with Sarah Spain

Newly crowned WNBA champion Kayla Thornton joins Sarah fresh off the Golden State Valkyries' title win. They discuss playing in front of an incredible crowd at Ballhalla, how Kayla dealt with her role evolving during the playoffs, and why this championship feels different than the one she won with New York. Plus, Day 1 is in the record books, Juju Watkins is back, and the Liberty finally decided to call that time-out.

The WNBA Finals are headed to a Game 7! Little Citrus jumps on to discuss the Atlanta Dream’s huge Game 6 win over the Golden State Valkyries, how fans showed up in a big way despite the early tip-off, the adjustments that have made all the difference in this series, and what to expect in Game 7 at Boo-Halla. Plus, decision day is here, we hope we’re not a curse, and if you can make it 26.2 there, you can make it 26.2 anywhere.

Sarah is joined by Olympic hockey champion and Minnesota Frost forward Taylor Fox – you know her as Taylor Heise. The PWHL star got married over the summer and now has a new last name on her jersey, so watch out for that on the ice! Sarah caught up with Taylor earlier this week before Team USA played their first of two exhibition games against rival Canada. They discussed how the team is preparing for the upcoming World Championship, the most fun parts about the off-ice hangouts with teammates during training, and how her marriage started with a beer pong meet-cute.
