First Sarah breaks down a wild NWSL quarterfinal weekend. Then, with just under three months until the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, Alex sits down with sisters Alli, Lauren, and Sam Macuga to discuss how they got their start in three different winter sports – moguls for Alli, alpine skiing for Lauren, and ski jumping for Sam – and why their parents might need a helicopter if they want to watch their daughters compete in Italy in February. Plus, walloping America’s hat, don’t say cheese, and welcome to Atlanta, where the players play.
