The final weekend of the Athletes Unlimited lacrosse season is upon us. Team Ohlmiller is set to face off against Team Cummings on Friday at 5 p.m. ET, kicking off the final slate of games.

After a dominant showing through the first four weeks of the season, Taylor Cummings has a chance to clinch the inaugural lacrosse title. Challenging her are Caylee Waters and Kady Glynn. The goalkeepers are within striking distance of the top spot and could make things interesting down the stretch.

Here’s where things stand as we head into the closing weekend:

1. Taylor Cummings, midfielder (1,507 points)

Cummings came on quickly but quietly, drafting last week for the first time all season. She selected Marie McCool, as she told Just Women’s Sports she would before the season started, and drafted well enough to vault herself to the top of the leaderboard. She could be hard to catch if she continues to rack up MVP points this weekend.

2. Caylee Waters, goalie (1,422 points)

Waters overtook Glynn in the goalie battle last week for the first time all season. The two have been duking it out since Week 1, with Waters earning more MVP points (165) than Glynn (45). Waters drafted her own team this week and has a chance to chase down Cummings for the top spot.

3. Kady Glynn, goalie (1,357 points)

Glynn drafted a team for the first time last week, testing her lacrosse savvy. Her team won twice last weekend and helped increase her win points total. Glynn still has an opening to move past Waters, with only 65 points between the goalies.

4. Kylie Ohlmiller, attacker (1,296 points)

Ohlmiller has drafted twice this season, once in Week 2 and again in the final week. She leads the AU field in assists and is tied for second in goals, showing why she was the NCAA record-holder for points and assists. She’s also racked up win points and could make a run at Cummings in the final weekend.

5. Kayla Wood, defender (1,273 points)

Wood emerged as one of the top defenders early in the season. Despite recording only one goal and one assist this season, she’s grabbed points by securing ground balls, controlling draws and winning games. Wood has fallen down the leaderboard a bit in recent weeks, but with a monster weekend, she could climb back up the rankings. Even if she can’t steal the top individual spot, Wood has a chance to win Defensive Player of the Year and take home a $5,000 bonus.

6. Dempsey Arsenault, midfielder (1,238 points)

Arsenault dropped off a bit this week after spending time in the top four last week and drafting a team of her own. Her team lost both of their games, and the midfielder took a hit in the standings.

7. Kayla Treanor, attacker (1,216 points)

Treanor has been a steady force on the leaderboard and on the field, with a total of 165 MVP points at this point in the season. She’s also fourth in goals and assists, making her a valuable drafting option and a player to keep an eye on.

8. Britt Read, goalie (1,192 points)

Read was high up on the leaderboard early in the season, even drafting her own team in Week 3, but she’s dropped off since then. She’s still racked up stat points, however, by leading the way with 492 save points.

9. Nicole Levy, attacker (1,164 points)

Levy has been quietly making waves all season long. She’s scored 10 goals and is tied for first in two-point goals with five.

10. Sam Apuzzo, attacker (1,164 points)

Apuzzo has been lighting up the net this season. She leads the league in goals, which has allowed her to accumulate 165 MVP points in the process.

Unrivaled Basketball and trading card manufacturer Panini America are teaming up, bringing the 3×3 league's first officially licensed trading cards to market on Friday.

As part of a multi-year agreement between the two parties, Panini will debut the Instant Cards just hours before the first full weekend of play in the 2026 Unrivaled season tips off on Friday.

Panini also plans to launch a Rewind set of trading cards celebrating the 2025 inaugural Unrivaled season, among other future drops.

"Our partnership with Unrivaled is a great way to reinforce and showcase our support of the women's game and female athletes," said Panini America SVP of marketing Jason Howarth in the pair's Thursday announcement. "Unrivaled's 3-on-3 format makes for exciting and compelling game play and continuing to work with the best players in the world in this format made this partnership make perfect sense."

Following Monday's Season 2 tip-off, Unrivaled is continuing to form strategic partnerships as the offseason pro league grows in popularity.

"We want to meet fans where they are, and Panini's history in this space makes them an ideal partner to highlight the biggest moments for women's basketball's biggest stars," said Unrivaled president Alex Bazzell.

How to purchase Unrivaled Instant Cards

The full Unrivaled Instant Card set will release online at 3:08 PM ET on Friday at PaniniAmerica.net.

US women are lighting up the ice, performing record-breaking short programs at the US Figure Skating Championships on Wednesday as the nation's top skaters compete to represent Team USA at the 2026 Winter Olympics in February.

Currently atop the field is 26-year-old Amber Glenn, with the reigning back-to-back national champion posting the highest short program score in event history on Wednesday.

Glenn's 83.05-point performance surpassed the 81.11-point previous record set just minutes before by her 20-year-old teammate, reigning world champion Alysa Liu.

"I think that was one of my most enjoyable experiences competing ever," Glenn said afterwards.

With Liu and Glenn leading the charge, the US is aiming to end a 20-year Olympic medal drought in women's singles figure skating in Milan, Italy, this winter — and Team USA has even more depth on their side.

A full six of the world's Top-17 skaters hail from the US, with 18-year-old Isabeau Levito — who claimed third in Wednesday's short program competition — joining Glenn and Liu in the Top 5.

Team USA can send only three singles skaters to next month's Winter Games, with the national selection committee assessing each athlete's full season — not just their performances at this week's championships — before announcing the Olympic-bound trio on Sunday.

How to watch the 2026 US Figure Skating Championships

The women's singles competition will conclude with Friday's free skate, which kicks off at 3 PM ET before the top skaters in the standings take the ice at 8 PM ET on NBC and Peacock.

The 2026 US Olympic Figure Skating Team will then be announced at 2 PM ET on Sunday, live on NBC.

This month's USWNT roster featured one notable gap, as the absence of Portland Thorns midfielder Sam Coffey stirred up rumors that the 27-year-old is finalizing a move to the WSL to join the top-tier UK league's frontrunners, Manchester City.

First reported by The Guardian, ESPN added on Thursday that Manchester City will ante up a base transfer fee around $800,000 to add Coffey to the Citizens' roster — though the number could rise as negotiations continue and parties finalize a deal.

The national team stalwart will reportedly travel to Manchester in the near future to ink a potential contract, but Coffey currently remains under contract with Portland until 2027, having signed an extension with the Thorns in 2024.

Coffey has been a mainstay for her NWSL club since Portland drafted the Penn State alum in 2021, but the UK league's pull could persuade her to join her USWNT teammates Alyssa Thompson (Chelsea), Emily Fox (Arsenal), Phallon Tullis-Joyce (Manchester United), and Naomi Girma (Chelsea) in making the leap to the WSL.

Currently sitting six points clear of six-time reigning champion Chelsea atop the 2025/26 WSL table, Manchester City has reportedly been searching for "the right defensive midfield option" as they pursue their first league title since 2016.

This weekend's SEC slate brings the heat, as the stacked NCAA basketball conference gears up for more than one high-profile ranked matchup on Sunday.

Undefeated No. 2 Texas will visit Baton Rouge to take on No. 12 LSU, with the Tigers looking to add to their 80-59 Thursday win over unranked Georgia as they continue battling back from a dismal 0-2 start in 2025/26 conference play.

"We think we're just going to go in there and out-jump, out-leap somebody," said LSU boss Kim Mulkey following last Sunday's loss to No. 7 Vanderbilt. "You're not going to do that in this league."

"This year, the [SEC] is every bit as good as last year — when you really think about it, it's probably way better," Longhorns head coach Vic Schaefer told the Austin American-Statesman on Thursday. "The big thing right now is we've got to get better."

Texas's clash with LSU opens a tough stretch for the Longhorns, as they face AP Poll headliners No. 3 South Carolina, No. 5 Oklahoma, No. 6 Kentucky, and No. 7 Vanderbilt in the coming weeks.

Sunday's other SEC blockbuster between the Sooners and the Wildcats is all about redemption, as Oklahoma aims to bounce back from their 74-69 upset loss to No. 18 Ole Miss on Thursday while Kentucky looks to put their 64-51 Thursday loss to unranked Alabama in the rearview mirror.

No. 2 Texas will tip off Sunday's ranked SEC slate against No. 12 LSU at 3 PM ET, airing live on ESPN.

Then at 4 PM ET, No. 5 Oklahoma will visit No. 6 Kentucky, with live coverage on the SEC Network.
