Hi all,
I’m Sonja, inventory planner and resident women’s sports expert here at Title Nine. I’m back to share the stories you need to know about, and to keep giving women athletes the attention they deserve.
1. MVP, MVP MVP!!! A’ja Wilson (Las Vegas Aces) is the WNBA MVP for the 2024 regular season! Wilson joins Lisa Leslie, Sheryl Swoopes and Lauren Jackson as the only players to receive the award three times! In addition, A’ja is the second player in WNBA history to win by a unanimous vote (67 1st place votes). A’ja finished out the season with 1,021 points, 451 rebounds and 98 blocks. Cynthia Cooper was the first player to win by unanimous vote in the W’s inaugural season in 1997. Aja’s alma mater, the University of South Carolina (2024 WCBB Champions) also set a program record by selling out their season tickets for the upcoming season for the first time.
