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.

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.

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.

The Portland Thorns are the first-ever three-time NWSL champions after defeating the Kansas City Current 2–0 to close out a challenging, but transformative 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.

While some squads have already said “RIP” to their playoff chances, the ones atop the poll are looking to cast spells on the CFP selection committee, who drops their first rankings on Tuesday.

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.
