Days before head coach Noelle Quinn was dismissed, Seattle Storm players and coaches reflected on their hard fought season, and the uncertainty of the looming #WNBA offseason. Our @munson-bella.bsky.social has the latest:

Storm vs Aces. Ahead of tonight's playoff matchup, our @munson-bella.bsky.social takes an in-depth look at Seattle's performance thus far and what they need to execute better going into Game 2:

The Seattle Storm kick off their #WNBA postseason with a series against a surging Las Vegas Aces team. But Seattle have done their homework, our @munson-bella.bsky.social writes, and come up with three keys to success for the best-of-three series:

Still fighting for a #WNBA playoff spot with one game left in the regular season isn't where the Seattle Storm thought they'd be. But head coach Noelle Quinn and her players still believe they can win a championship. Our @munson-bella.bsky.social explains why.

'We all try to step up to her level' What makes Gabby Williams a top defender in the #WNBA? Our @munson-bella.bsky.social spoke with Seattle Storm players and staff, and went beyond the stats to find out:

So much uncertainty with so few games left. Buckle up for a comphresive WNBA playoff breakdown with @munson-bella.bsky.social and me on Media Timeout.

The Seattle Storm are eyeing a playoff run. They're hoping Brittney Sykes can help them get there. And that's exactly what Sykes plans to do. @munson-bella.bsky.social on how Sykes is making a late impact for her new team: www.thenexthoops.com/wnba/seattle...

Creating goals. Breaking records. Sofia Huerta now holds the NWSL record for assists at 32 regular season assists.

I can't even begin to describe how insanely talented Nneka Ogwumike is

On the latest episode of @lockedonwbb.bsky.social, host @natalieheavren.bsky.social chats with @munson-bella.bsky.social about how the Seattle Storm can finish the season strong: www.thenexthoops.com/features/loc...

Our @reignfc.com were cruising along well before a disastrous final 30 minutes saw them split the points with Chicago. @munson-bella.bsky.social and Charles Hamaker discuss that match, the stretch ahead, & much more⬇️ Tune in here: youtu.be/-WVlcWtxE20 #SeattleReignFC #ReignTogether #SeattleSports

It's been a busy few days for the Seattle Storm, filled with highs, lows, and honors. @munson-bella.bsky.social breaks it all down in her latest out of Seattle: www.thenexthoops.com/features/fro...

History tells us that a #WNBA champion needs strong bench production. Is the Seattle Storm group up to the task? Our @munson-bella.bsky.social goes in-depth on what the numbers say, and what key members of the Storm believe, heading into the final stretch www.thenexthoops.com/wnba/seattle...

Brittney Sykes is expected to be in market and join her new team, the Seattle Storm, tomorrow, head coach Noelle Quinn said. @theixbasketball.bsky.social

West Coast fans, you're going to like this! 🐟 Mia Fishel joined the Seattle Reign this transfer window — and it's a move for the present and the future. @munson-bella.bsky.social stopped by Reign training to discuss Fishel's role with her new team. ➡️: equalizersoccer.com/2025/07/31/h...

Injury update on Ryanne Brown's ACL recovery from Reign head coach Laura Harvey at practice yesterday: the team is still expecting Brown to come back at some point in the second half of the season, but she had a setback with a little niggly injury, not her knee, that is delaying her.

I am genuinely sobbing in the best way watching Brink return to the court and get all the love

To get my mind off that game… here are some wild goats I was ridiculously excited to see on Mt.Pilatus today on our day trip to Luzern. It was honestly an absolutely amazing day all around but something about baby goats really made it for me lol

The only thing I will say about England tonight is all credit in the world to Michelle Agyemang. Gets one cap before this tournament, scores the equalizing goal in both of England’s knockout stage games to send it to ET, 19 years old, just brilliant energy and poise.

Logging on from Zürich solely to say this ref has been horrible, that pk was bullshit and England doesn’t really deserve this win

How has Zia Cooke grown in Seattle? @munson-bella.bsky.social gets into it www.thenexthoops.com/wnba/seattle...

Seattle's trio of All-Stars, Nneka Ogwumike, Skylar Diggins and Gabby Williams, are each at different points in their #WNBA careers. Our @munson-bella.bsky.social has more on their reflections of the moment:

BREAKING: Mia Fishel is joining the #NWSL! Our @munson-bella.bsky.social has all the details on her move to Seattle.

Two loans announced from Seattle Reign FC today: - Midfielder Olivia Van der Jagt to Spokane Zephyr FC through the end of 2025, under contract through 2026 - Defender Julia Lester to Sporting JAX through the end of 2025, under contract through 2025

I talked in this podcast about the Reign needing to figure out where Sofia Cedeno — whom they signed through 2025 on March 12, then sent on loan — fits on the roster. No press release was shared, so it was missed that on March 24th, they agreed to a mutual contract termination.

Switzerland had it all to do against Iceland, but their victory puts them in the driver's seat to advance to the knockout stage of UEFA Women's EURO 2025 on home soil. @munson-bella.bsky.social reports on the Swiss reaction after the final whistle.

“Nneka is breaking records every day, every time we play," Seattle Storm guard Erica Wheeler said of teammate Nneka Ogwumike. How has Ogwumike excelled in her 14th #WNBA season? Our @munson-bella.bsky.social talked with Ogwumike and those around her to find out.

In tonight's postgame, Seattle Storm forward Nneka Ogwumike said that the best news she got today is that her point guard, Skylar Diggins, is an All Star. Only the 2025 WNBA All Star starters, of which Ogwumike is one, have been officially announced so far, with the rest to be announced on July 6.

The 2025 UEFA Women’s European Championship kicked off Wednesday with two drama-filled matches in Group A, drawing a big crowd and setting up plenty of promise for this year’s tournament.

Once again, Claudia Dickey makes the big saves when she is called upon for the #USWNT, even if it was still a relatively quiet night, she made the right plays when she needed to and kept the clean sheet.

INBOX: Seattle Reign FC sign Sam Meza to a multi-year contract through the 2028 NWSL season. Incredibly deserved and a great move for the club to continue to build around a player whose rise has been nothing short of meteoric.

Finally able to make it out to a Salmon Bay FC game and I love to see the ownership so involved. Immediately was sitting in the stands by Kelyn Rowe and then got Sam Hiatt throwing Dick’s burgers after a goal ❤️

Seattle Storm forward Gabby Williams is averaging career highs and putting up massive performances for a Storm team full of elite talent. Storm beat reporter @munson-bella.bsky.social writes about Williams' All-Star potential.

Claudia Dickey has been one of, if not the best, goalkeepers in the #NWSL this season. The start and #USWNT debut tonight is so well deserved. Obviously not the toughest opponent to show her stuff against but she was ready when called upon (tho the save won't count because it was offside).

Beyond excited to see Jordyn Bugg make her senior #USWNT debut, and at just 18 years old. She has been brilliant for the Reign since her very first appearance and she has the potential to be a mainstay of this team for years to come.

Our @reignfc.com closed out league play before the current international window with a 4-1 victory on the road. @munson-bella.bsky.social and Charles Hamaker discuss that and much more in a new episode of "Right as Reign" here: youtu.be/F3hDVGH0t8U #SeattleReignFC #WitnessTheReign👑#NWSL

A really amazing and well-deserved contract for Menti. From being injured out of college and unable to join preseason to her first pro goal in her first pro start and now a long-term contract, the Seattle-native has the potential to be a big part of this club's present and future.

With Li Yueru headed to Dallas and Mackenzie Holmes returning to Seattle, our @munson-bella.bsky.social breaks down what it all means for the Storm: www.thenexthoops.com/features/wha...

Seattle Reign forward Jordyn Huitema was home alone when men broke into Julio Rodriguez's house on May 1. She spoke to @sounderatheart.com about that night, her decision to play the next day, and taking a mental health break to process everything. www.sounderatheart.com/2025/06/jord...

This is harrowing, and I can only hope Jordyn Huitema is able to process all of it on her time. That this story was even told is a remarkable endorsement of the trust @susierantz.bsky.social has earned over the years.

I think it is worth noting that on both Reign goals tonight Lynn Biyendolo provided the secondary assist. It was her pass forward chested down by Fishlock to Adames and she poked the ball out to Barnes who laid it off for Menti. On the scoresheet or not she makes a huge impact!

The San Diego Wave had 63% of the possession against the Seattle Reign, but managed just 8 more passes into their final third than the Reign. She will be rightfully praised for the goal, but Emeri Adames did *SO* much work defensively to limit Savannah McCaskill and Kenza Dali.

Postgame, head coach Laura Harvey said that when Seattle Reign first signed Sally Menti through the end of June 2025, she told Menti the plan was to send her on loan over the summer, but also told Menti to "change the plan." Added Menti certainly didn't hurt her case tonight.

Specifically, Menti’s contract is through the end of June 2025 as of right now.

Sally Menti is on a short term contract and I’d be very surprised if the Reign are not currently trying to extend that and send her on loan or simply make space for her rn by sending another player on loan. (I do not actually know anything, these are just thoughts)

Emeri Adames said oh you wanna see f*cking bangers??? I got you! But also that kind of touch from Jess Fishlock is why she is and always will be one of the greatest of all time.

Claudia Dickey continues to show that she is one of the best goalkeepers in the NWSL and the USWNT pool. What a save.

So Seattle Reign are bangers only fc this year 🤷🏼‍♀️ Signed to a short-term contract. Fourth time making the gameday squad. Second time seeing the pitch. First ever start. First NWSL goal!!! Can’t help but be impressed Sally Menti 🫡

Our @munson-bella.bsky.social checks in from Seattle, where the Storm broke their losing streak thanks to Zia Cooke and some spirited bench play on Tuesday night #WNBA www.youtube.com/shorts/46Ww9...

In tonight's win over Dallas, Erica Wheeler recorded 11 pts, 7 asts, 5 rebs, 1 stl and 1 blk off the bench, also got a massive ovation when she dove into the second row to try and keep possession. Read about why Wheeler is thriving in this role in Seattle. www.thenexthoops.com/wnba/seattle...
