Ella's dedication, professionalism, and insight lifted the standard in the media spaces at Audi & in NWSL coverage writ large.

Big loss for the Post, but I couldn't be more confident that she's going to be fantastic in what's next.
Time for Some Personal News: This is my last week at The Washington Post.

I’m immensely grateful to have started my professional career in such a legendary newsroom and to have worked alongside so many smart, talented and thoughtful journalists for the past 4.5 years.

SOURCES: The #NWSL board has voted to approve a new star player fund—internally called "High Impact Player"—to allow teams to spend up to $1M over the cap with a much smaller cap hit for players who meet criteria.

Crucially: A change affecting the cap requires NWSLPA consultation. On @espn.com:
Sources: NWSL 'star' salaries tied to player profile
The NWSL's Board of Governors has approved a new roster mechanism to pay select star players above and beyond the current salary cap, multiple sources confirmed to ESPN.

I’ve been thinking about the manuscript for my collection. I’ve seen some folks traditionally publish collections that include a mix of new and previously published stories.

How does one land that kind of deal? Muneera and the Moon has done very well for a self published project.

The #USMNT ended 2025 with a rotated squad, a stunning 5-1 rout of Uruguay and some fiery words from Mauricio Pochettino.

Reporting from Tampa, I broke down what that means for the World Cup squad and offered an updated projection for the final 26-man roster.

Before Saturday, check with your doctor if your heart is healthy enough to watch Spirit v. Gotham.
NWSL final between the two teams that seem dead set on absolute last-gasp drama, gonna need everyone to meditate and get lots of sleep this week

Great shot! Why didn't Moorhouse save a shot she should have saved? Two words: Midge Purse. Purse gets on the end of it, ball goes the other way. Moorhouse caught between playing the post and the center of the goal.

Big thing to watch this week: fullback availability.

Gabby Carle was out yesterday, & Lilly Reale was forced out late today.

Felt Spirit flexed their options w/ Wiesner's excellent play + Morgan being arguably PotM. Gotham might have to consider some creative options if Reale can't go.
The last Spirit-Gotham meeting, at Subaru Park in the W Champions Cup, was a fascinating game.

Spirit came away admitting that they felt like Gotham played for the 0-0 draw they got, & that it was a surprise to them.

But also, the lineups weren't exactly familiar or what we'll see next week.

In Gotham's 3-0 win on 4/26: No Hershfelt, Krueger, Metayer, Rodman, Wiesner (injuries); no Cantore or Abiodun (hadn't arrived); Bethune for 11 min + Kouassi for 45

In 0-0 draw on 8/9: No Krueger or Santos (injuries); no Abiodun (hadn't arrived); Rodman for 33 min + Cantore/Kouassi for 45

(1/1)
@ellabrockway.bsky.social Any of those three lineups close to what we'll likely be fielding?
