In this week's episode, Jessie joins Lindsay to recap the first half of the first round of the WNBA playoffs, discuss the Diamond League season finale, talk NWSL chaos, and applaud some WTA winners.

Then (15:53), Terry Horstman of The Next comes on the podcast to talk all about how the Minnesota Lynx pulled the upset of the playoffs so far by upsetting the Connecticut Sun in Connecticut and forcing a deciding Game 3. They talk about the chemistry between Napheesa Collier and Kayla McBride, the standout play of Dorka Juhasz, and the curious case of Aerial Powers.

Finally (42:45), Melissa Burgess of The Victory Press takes us inside the room of the inaugural Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL) draft. She talks Billie Jean King and breaks down the teams that impressed her and the ones that made some questionable decisions, before looking ahead to free agency.

@powerplays_newsThe chemistry between Napheesa Collier and Kayla McBride is *bAnAnAs.* #womenssports #wnba #minnesotalynx
