It's the beginning of the postseason for the Kirkwood Softball team. The Eagles narrowly escape an upset from NECC, but clinch their spot in Saturday's semifinal round.

Caitlin Clark has a bananas 1st quarter debut in the WNBA... cools off a bit late, but puts on a show for the sellout crowd in Dallas.
Caitlin only plays 21 minutes, and you can see the difference when she's off the floor.

Caitlin Clark is +8 through three quarters: the highest number of anybody on either team so far.
I'm withholding any overreactions, because we're only 3 quarters into an exhibition game... but this is a very different team when Caitlin is on the bench.

lol Pancake makes a cameo in your reasons to root for the Aces!

'She's a pro player. She brings every asset that you could possibly want.'
Asked about her continued friendship with Kate Martin, Caitlin says the two still talk every day!

I just realized that when the Fever play the Aces this season, we could have the top 4 scorers in NCAA women's history on the court at the same time.
Caitlin Clark (Fever) 3,951
Kelsey Plum (Aces) 3,527
Dyaisha Fair (Aces) 3,403
Kelsey Mitchell (Fever) 3,402
