Can you believe the FIFA Women’s World Cup (WWC) group stage is nearly over? On today’s episode of The GIST of It, co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz chat through the latest updates from Down Under, including the unfortunate early elimination of their beloved CanWNT amid the team’s ongoing labor dispute with their federation.
Then after the break, El and Steph pivot to the NCAA pitch to discuss a troubling story out of the Butler women’s soccer program, where three players filed separate lawsuits accusing a school trainer of sexual assault. Enough is enough.
