Halloweekend in the sports world unfortunately featured the wrong kind of horror, with a series of infuriating moments spanning antisemitism, sexual misconduct and physical violence. WTF, indeed.

No tricks here: For the first time this season, no undefeated teams lost on Saturday, with the unbeaten six maintaining their perfect records through Week 9. All are hoping for a treat from the CFP selection committee, who drop their first rankings tomorrow.

Ally will keep on kicking with the NWSL. During halftime of Saturday’s championship, the financial services company announced a five-year extension of its partnership to stay on as the NWSL’s second-largest sponsor (only behind Nike).

The first two games of the World Series saw tricks (aka not one, but two cheating controversies) and treats (thanks for the free tacos, Kyle Schwarber). Now with things all tied up in this best-of-seven set, tonight’s Game 3 is sure to be scary good.

November may not start until midnight(s), but the postseason is already underway with cross country conference meets in the books and, as we mentioned on Friday, women’s soccer conference tourneys kicking off yesterday. Tighten those laces and catch up on the race toward the nattys.

The Big 12 Conference is about to score a big payday. According to recent reports, the college sports organization will sign a six-year, $2.28 billion (!!!) extension with broadcasters ESPN and Fox that runs until the 2030-31 season.

To celebrate spooky season, we’ve gathered a few of the most ghoulishly grim ghost stories the sports world has to offer. So prep yourself some potion and settle into the shadows, because these tricky treats are brewing up a whole cauldron of creepy.

Today’s the day — the NWSL Championship kicks off tonight at 8 p.m. ET, so we’re here with all the deets before the Portland Thorns and Kansas City Current take the pitch. Can’t wait.

The league is thinking ahead to next Tuesday’s trade deadline, with some game-changers potentially on the move.

While a few Division I (DI) women’s soccer conferences will wrap up regular season play next week, a majority of the 333 squads are finalizing their standings this week, with conference tournaments kicking off the postseason — and the road to the natty — on Sunday.
