Lexie Hull Reveals Caitlin Clark's Heated Moment With Her Boyfriend
In her rookie season with the Indiana Fever, she averaged 19.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 8.4 assists per game, while constantly playing with passion. Whether she advocated for foul calls or confidently directed her teammates on the floor, Clark's intensity was always on full display.

Off the court, she's grown close with teammate Lexie Hull and Hull's now-fiancé, Will Matthiessen.
In a recent story by ESPN's Alexa Philippou, Hull opened up about their friendship and how often the two couples—Clark and her boyfriend, Connor McCaffery—hang out for game nights and dinner parties. Whether it's Monopoly Deal, Settlers of Catan, Gang of Four, or card games, Hull says Clark's competitive attitude is also present.
Hull went into detail and revealed that she's seen Clark go "at it" with both McCaffery and her when they play.
"You see her and her boyfriend going at it, her and I going at it," Hull said. "I don't know if she and her boyfriend talk on the ride home because it gets so competitive, but it's fun."

Opportunity in Washington helped Mystics rookies Citron and Iriafen become WNBA All-Stars
WASHINGTON — When Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen were drafted by a rebuilding Washington team, it was clear they'd have a chance to make a quick impact. It turned out to be a historic one. Citron and Iriafen were both WNBA All-Stars last weekend , becoming the first pair of rookie teammates to achieve that since 1999. Their inclusion was an acknowledgement of how quickly they've established themselves in the league — and the way they've helped improve the Mystics' outlook. 'From the beginning, Slim (guard Brittney Sykes) told me like, 'You're not a rookie. We drafted you for a reason, we drafted Kiki for a reason, so you guys just go out and do what you do,'' Citron said. That's not something rookies — even first-round picks like Citron and Iriafen — can take for granted. The WNBA is a famously tough league to break into. For every immediate rookie star like Paige Bueckers, there's another high pick facing a slower adjustment timeline. Bueckers, Citron and Iriafen were all All-Stars, the first time three rookies made it since 2011. But they're the only rookies averaging over 10 points per game this year. Some of that comes down to opportunity. After finishing 14-26 last year, Washington brought in Jamila Wideman as its general manager and Sydney Johnson as its coach. Then the Mystics took Citron out of Notre Dame with the third pick in the draft and Iriafen out of Southern California with the next pick. Having both become All-Stars was pretty much the best-case scenario. Especially since both had a chance to go to Indiana and spend time with some of the game's biggest stars. 'I think there's another couple of jumps that they're looking to take, and I think they were rubbing elbows with some of those players that they aspire to be like, to outperform,' Johnson said. The 6-foot-3 Iriafen scored 17 points in the game and Citron, a 6-1 guard, added 11. Citron also took part in the 3-point contest — and the winner, Sabrina Ionescu, said she'd give half her winnings to the Washington rookie. Johnson said observing how players like Ionescu go about their business is valuable. 'Sabrina put on a show with the 3-point contest. Sonia knows how good of a shooter she is — Sonia is — and then you look, and there's like a whole other level there with Sabrina,' Johnson said. 'That's respecting Sonia, but that's calling it what it is. Just seeing pro habits, how they approach the game, how competitive they are, how they're on all the time.' Now the challenge for Citron and Iriafen is to maintain their level of production. Citron is averaging 13.8 points per game, second on the team behind Sykes, another Washington All-Star. Iriafen is averaging 12 points and a team-high 8.3 rebounds. They won't be sneaking up on anyone after being named All-Stars. In the first game back from the break, Washington lost to Los Angeles on Tuesday night. Citron was held to seven points, but Iriafen contributed 13. 'Not being one-dimensional, and finding different ways to impact the game,' Iriafen said of her challenge the rest of the way. 'Maybe it is scoring, maybe it's being more of a defensive threat. Just not relying on what I did in the first half, and just continuing to get better.' The Mystics (11-12) were in eighth place entering Thursday's action, a half-game ahead of expansion Golden State (10-12) and not far behind Las Vegas (12-11) and Indiana (12-12). The loss to the Sparks was the start of a five-game homestand that could be crucial to Washington's postseason hopes. The Mystics won the 2019 championship but haven't posted a winning record since 2022 and have missed the playoffs the last two years. Whatever the stretch run has in store, Washington can look forward to the future after what the Mystics have seen from their rookie All-Star duo. 'I think it's amazing,' Citron said. 'I think me and Kiki work really hard, and it's just cool that people are seeing that.' ___ AP WNBA:

Albion Rovers boss knows what to expect from Cumbernauld Colts after club raided them for players this summer
Albion Rovers boss Sandy Clark says he will know what to expect from Saturday's Lowland League opener with Cumbernauld Colts - because their local rivals raided them for players over the summer. Colts snapped up a trio of stars from Rovers in the close season with right-backs Callum Home and Adam Fernie making the move from Monklands alongside forward Billy Mortimer. New Colts striker Josh Jack is also a former Rovers player. So with a derby to kick-off their new Lowland League campaign, Clark will be very familiar with some of the threats the visitors will pose. READ MORE: British teen falls to death at Ibiza Rocks hotel two weeks after Scots tourist died READ MORE: Rangers legend Paul Gascoigne 'rushed to intensive care unit' after collapsing at home Asked what he is expecting from Colts, Clark said: 'I'm expecting to know a lot of their players! Some of them have certainly played here. I think they will be a little bit more experienced than us. 'Will they be better? I have no idea, time will tell. Will we give them a game? 100 per cent, we will give them a game alright and on the day, it will be a case of may the best team win. 'At training we try to replicate match situations as best we can, so we've had a good bit of time to prepare. This week we will really concentrate on Cumbernauld Colts and I'm sure we will be ready for that.' Rovers warmed up for that clash with a 3-2 friendly defeat at home to St Mirren B on Saturday. Nathan Brown and club captain Alan Reid were on target for the hosts against the Premiership youth outfit and Clark was disappointed with his side's defending at the Buddies' goals. Reacting to the result, Clark told the club media: 'We worked well. We are trying to rebuild the squad and it was a good challenge for us. Playing St Mirren B was like when we play Hearts B and Celtic B in league games, with their players passing the ball really well, they are fit, they are full-time, they are organised. 'So that's where the real challenge came from and I thought we handled it fairly well. If you look at the game, we've lost a goal inside 30 seconds, which is really poor play from us. 'We didn't stop the cross and our lads are saying it might have been offside, but at the end of the day their striker got in between our two defenders and it was a good header. 'We reacted well to it, got back into the game and made it 1-1, but then we lost a second goal from a header in the box again. So there is a warning there that we need to stop crosses and pick up players better. 'We lost our way a bit at that point and St Mirren got their third goal. Nathan Brown got us back into it with a good goal to make it 3-2 at half-time, but I felt we were the better team in the second half. 'We scored a really good goal that I felt was well onside but the officials didn't see it that way. 'We had some other chances, we stopped St Mirren playing, our press was better and what we got out of it in the end was a lot of fitness for certain players and I got a good look at the trialists. Our squad will be much clearer by Saturday.' Kick-off at Cliftonhill on Saturday is 3pm. Albion Rovers have snapped up goalkeeper Alfie Halliwell on loan from Rangers as they prepare to kick-off the new Lowland League season on Saturday. Cliftonhill gaffer Sandy Clark has added are the Scotland Youth International to his ranks and the teenager made his first outing for the Monklands men in Saturday's 3-2 friendly defeat to St Mirren B. The 17-year-old shot-stopper rose through the ranks at the Ibrox-based side, featuring in the Rangers B squad that lifted the Glasgow Cup, as well as training with the Rangers First Team squad on occasion, working alongside former Stoke City and Manchester Utd goalkeeper Jack Butland and former QPR and Motherwell goalkeeper Liam Kelly. On the international stage, Alfie has two caps for the Scotland Men's U17s, making his debut in an international friendly away to Switzerland and was recently called up to a U19s training camp at the end of last season. Halliwell said: 'It feels really good and I am really excited for the season. 'Once I spoke to Sandy, I really wanted to play under him. Both him and George [Paterson] are really experienced in the game. 'I'm here to keep the ball out the back of the net. I am a young player that wants to play in men's football.'
