3 Positives, Negatives From Storm’s 2026 Season
The Seattle Storm’s 2026 season has come to an end, and it wasn’t a campaign that will be well-remembered in franchise history — at least not for winning reasons. Seattle finished 8-36 overall, losing the most games in one season by any team in WNBA history (44-game season only began in 2025) and winning the fewest games since the Storm’s first-ever season in 2000 (6-26 overall). On the surface, those statistics make it seem like it was all doom and gloom for the Storm in a lost season....
Seahawks Injury Report: Sam Darnold Set to Return, Safety Spot Short-Handed vs. Commanders
After missing one game with a glute injury and returning to practice this week, Sam Darnold will be back under center for the Seattle Seahawks when they hit the road for their first East coast trip of the 2026 season to face the Washington Commanders, but they will be without one of their biggest stars on defense. Listed as a full participant on Thursday and Friday after being limited on Wednesday, Darnold successfully ramped up his activity as the week progressed without any setbacks, ...
Analysis: Takeaways One Week Into Kraken Training Camp
Only a week after camp opened, the Seattle Kraken are already closing in on the end of their brief preseason slate. They completed two games last weekend, winning both of the matchups against the Canucks and Flames, before defeating Calgary again 4-3 on Thursday night at Climate Pledge Arena. What have we learned about Lane Lambert’s squad in year two so far? Who has made the biggest impression? Let’s discuss three takeaways after a week of camp and three preseason contests: Upstart yo...
Outplayed for Two Periods, Kraken Storm Back for 4-3 Shootout Preseason Win vs. Flames
Final score notwithstanding, the Seattle Kraken were largely outplayed by the Calgary Flames’ AHL roster in their third preseason game on Thursday night. But a third period comeback allowed the home team to squeak out a 4-3 victory. Even in a win, the Kraken were comfortably outshot 35-26 and had two players ejected. In total, there was 69 penalty minutes assessed in the game, but hockey can be a weird sport and despite the shot discrepancy not going in their favor, they finished on a s...
“We Never Turned It Around”: Disappointing 2026 Mariners Enter Final Series Officially Eliminated
The 2026 season has developed not necessarily to the Mariners’ advantage. Even as all the trends of the league turned in their favor, the team turned away their best and easiest chance to make the World Series. And with the Texas Rangers’ 3-1 win over the New York Mets on Thursday, they are officially eliminated from postseason contention. “Obviously we were kind of riding high off of last year, and somewhere along the way, things just didn’t click, didn’t come together, and we were nev...
Beau Stephens Looking to Build Off ‘Awesome, Nerve Racking' Seahawks’ Debut
During his first few weeks as an NFL player, Seattle Seahawks guard Beau Stephens hasn’t had to worry about media members flocking to his locker during the 40 minutes prior to practice, keeping as much of his rookie paycheck as possible. But after performing well in his regular season debut in a 31-7 win over the Cardinals last weekend as part of a platoon with third-year guard Christian Haynes, Stephens won’t be able to enjoy the luxury of hiding in the shadows anymore. With the news s...
Ines Bettencourt Returns to Gonzaga WBB, Creates Robust Backcourt Depth
During the first week of official college basketball practices, Gonzaga Athletics checked off what it hopes is the first of many boxes. As Gonzaga women’s basketball released its official non-conference schedule and full roster, fifth-year guard Inês Bettencourt was listed among the 13 available Zags for the 2026-27 season, a pleasant surprise for a Bulldogs squad that already boasted strong continuity with 10 returning players from last year. Initally, Bettencourt was one of two graduat...
Sounders Earn First MLS Win in Four Months; Returners Shine
SEATTLE, Wash — Keeper Andrew Thomas could only watch as center back Jackson Ragen let a clear Real Salt Lake ball find striker Sergi Solans' feet on a sudden breakaway chance for the visitors. Offensive chances had come few and far between for the Seattle Sounders and their visitors on Wednesday night, with the game still scoreless in the 47th minute. As Solans, scorer of nine goals this season, strode past Ragen, Thomas loaded his legs and prepared to try and stop the striker. Solans ...
Instant Takeaways: Storm Overpowered By Wings in Season Finale
The youthful trio of Dominique Malonga, Awa Fam and Flau’jae Johnson fittingly carried the Seattle Storm in their final game of the season, but a lack of scoring across the lineup resulted in a 103-91 loss to the Dallas Wings on Wednesday, Sept. 23, at Climate Pledge Arena. Malonga (29 points, eight rebounds) led all scorers in the game, nearly posting her third 30-point game of the season. Fam scored 22 points and added seven boards, while Johnson tallied 21 points, six rebounds and fou...
Torrent Sign Abbey Murphy to Two-Year Rookie Contract
The Seattle Torrent announced the signing of recent second-overall pick Abbey Murphy to a two-year standard player agreement on Wednesday. “I’m incredibly grateful and excited to officially start this journey in Seattle,” Murphy said in the announcement. “Getting to spend time in the city this summer, meet our fans and get a feel for the community made me even more excited to call Seattle home.” Murphy was the no-doubt second overall pick at the 2026 PWHL Draft. She set the University o...
