Star Tribune sports columnist Rachel Blount devoted her October 11 column to the Minnesota Lynx’s WNBA championship and its impact on women’s sports. Nicole LaVoi, lecturer and associate director of the Tucker Center, was interviewed on the key reasons why the Lynx were the best sports news in the Twin Cities this fall. “People who hadn’t been exposed to the game got drawn in because the team was so good,” LaVoi observed. “That is a really positive thing for the Lynx and for women’s sports in general.”
