The Wave took care of business on the road, beating the Boston Legacy 1–0 in their first East Coast trip of the season.

Then came the hardware. Dudinha, Kenza Dali, Kennedy Wesley, and rookie Lia Godfrey all landed on the NWSL Best XI, more than any other club. Godfrey doubled up, earning Rookie of the Month honors as well.

Five games in, the Wave sit on top of the table, though Angel City and Houston are lurking with a game in hand and a chance to shake things up.

It’s a trifecta. The Mojo (10–10) are heating up, now riding a three-match win streak, with two of those coming this week.

They swept the Columbus Fury 3–0 on the road Friday, behind a big night from Grace Loberg (15 points on 13 kills and two aces, plus nine blocks).

Then came the statement win: a five-set battle over the Dallas Pulse that pushes the Mojo into fourth place and firmly into the playoff conversation.

The Rebellion opened at home with a 28–13 win and made it feel like more than just a game. Go for the football, stay for the community. Read more here.

The No. 43 Aztecs stayed hot on the road, picking up two wins over No. 69 UNLV and Nevada. They now sit in a three-way tie for first place in the Mountain West.

The Aztecs captured the podium across multiple events at Saturday’s Triton Invitational, highlighted by first-place finishes from Jada Pierre (100m hurdles, 13.15) and Aji Mbye (100m, 11.59). They also swept the 400m with Shari Hurdman (53.04, PR), Laraigh Allen (53.79, PR), and Kelia Bentham (53.94, PR) taking the top three spots.

The No. 39 Toreros (9–9, 3–1 WCC) dropped back-to-back matches against ranked opponents No. 38 Baylor and No. 7 Pepperdine.

Four of the six singles matches went to three sets, reflecting a much closer contest than the score suggests.

The Toreros (16-19, 3-3 WCC) won the conference series 2-1 over LMU. Mallory Axline had three hits and a run in the two victories.
