When Kate Koval arrived at the gym for her game, almost 12 hours had passed since she had heard from her parents.
They lived near the center of Kyiv, and on the morning of Feb. 24, 2022, Russia had invaded Ukraine.
This is her story.

Unrivaled’s an instant hit, but can the new women’s basketball 3×3 league sustain?
Unrivaled landed deep-pocketed investors, a TV deal and the top players. Will that be enough to make it a long-term success?

This South Carolina team isn’t the same one that wrecked through the opposition a year ago, and other squads are rising to fill the power vacuum.
Parity has returned to women's college hoops, and it starts at the top.

No. 3 USC welcomed its first sell-out crowd of the season Saturday, looking to build off the excitement of its first Pac-12 title in a decade.
Instead, No. 6 Notre Dame poured cold water all over the Trojans’ early ambitions with a 74-61 win ⤵️
