She's Got Next: Founders rally in Vancouver behind historic firsts in women's sports
Rogers Arena was host to a first on Friday night: the WNBA's inaugural regular-season game in Vancouver. Before tip-off, inside a private pre-game gathering, She's Got Next founders Julie Smulders and Jill Tracy brought together a powerhouse group of athletes, executives and community leaders to underline a message – Canada is entering a new era for women's sports, and it's time to show up. Smulders, a UBC Thunderbirds alumna who played professional basketball overseas, said the idea for She's Got Next began last year after she and Tracy left a sold-out NCAA women's Final Four and compared it to the Canada West championships in B.C., which drew just 500 fans. 'We thought, 'We can do something in Canada. Let's elevate women's sports. Let's bring a community of women together,' Smulders said. The private event drew some of the most influential figures in Canadian and North American sport: Toronto Tempo president Teresa Resch and general manager Monica Wright Rogers, NBA Canada communications director Ashton Lawrence, PWHL Vancouver general manager Cara Morey and director of business operations Tania Richards, and five-time Olympian and Canadian Olympic Committee president Charmaine Crooks. Story continues below advertisement 5:57 WNBA players call for pay equity Tempo also used the evening to announce that when their inaugural WNBA season tips off next year, two of their regular-season games will be played in B.C., marking another historic milestone for Canadian women's basketball. Instead of hosting galas, She's Got Next has built its brand around what Smulders calls 'games over galas.' The group organizes dedicated fan sections at women's sporting events, including Section 107 at PWHL Vancouver home games.

'It's about modelling behaviour,' Tracy said. 'Men have done it for decades—grabbing friends and going to games. We're making that the norm for women's sports.' This season also marks the arrival of PWHL Vancouver, the province's first professional women's hockey franchise. The league has already drawn record-setting attendance in Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal, and now Vancouver fans have a team of their own. Story continues below advertisement 23:49 WNBA in Canada: Teresa Resch hopes Toronto Tempo will 'inspire an entire new generation' Smulders and Tracy said they were emotional seeing young girls in jerseys at PWHL games earlier this year. 'There were no dry eyes in our group when the women took the ice and heard the national anthem,' Tracy recalled. 'We hadn't seen that before.' The fight for visibility in women's sports has been ongoing for a long time. For decades, women were excluded outright: in the U.K., women's soccer was banned for 50 years. In North America, women were often dismissed as 'unable' or 'unfit' to play. 'That mindset doesn't disappear overnight,' Smulders said. In Canada, progress has accelerated in recent years. Christine Sinclair became the world's all-time leading international goal scorer, cementing women's soccer as a national passion. Marie-Philip Poulin's overtime heroics turned her into 'Captain Clutch,' rewriting hockey history. Story continues below advertisement And now, Canadian broadcasters are carrying more women's games—including, for the first time this year, all Indiana Fever WNBA games featuring star rookie Caitlin Clark. 'If you don't see it, you don't believe it's possible,' Smulders said. 'Now kids across Canada are seeing it.' 1:57 'To be brave, and to be bold': WNBA empowering next generation Smulders remembered her UBC days when the women's basketball team was fed Subway while the men's team got steak dinners. 'We were grateful just to get anything,' she said. Today's generation isn't settling. 'They want jerseys in their size. They want visibility. They want equality,' Tracy said. 'To them, women are just athletes. Period.' For Smulders and Tracy, the message to fans, institutions and media is clear: women's sports are not a novelty, they are the future. Story continues below advertisement Alongside fan sections and events, She's Got Next is launching scholarships for student-athletes, building career pipelines for women graduating from university sport, and continuing to host pre-game gatherings that unite athletes, executives, coaches, entrepreneurs and fans. The organization also has dedicated fan sections starting with Section 107 at every PWHL Vancouver game. The first WNBA game in Vancouver, the arrival of PWHL hockey in B.C., and the coming Northern Super League aren't just milestones; they're an invitation. The question now is whether Canadians will keep showing up, not just for history, but for what comes next. 'Come to games. Become members. Tell your friends,' Smulders urged. Tracy added: 'The bigger the community, the bigger our impact.'

Vilsaint scores in Toronto FC debut to tie visiting Crew 1-1
TORONTO – Canada's Jules-Anthony Vilsaint made an immediate impact in his Toronto FC debut. The Montreal native secured the late equalizer in a 1-1 draw against the Columbus Crew on Saturday at BMO Field mere moments after stepping onto the pitch. Vilsaint, wearing No. 99, darted toward the right side of the net, accepted a long cross from fellow TFC newcomer Djordje Mihailovic and stuffed it into the middle of the net to level the score in the 77th minute — just two minutes after entering as a substitute. TFC received a scare soon after when Columbus midfielder Daniel Gazdag appeared to restore the Crew's lead, but the goal was ruled offside after a review. Columbus' Diego Rossi opened the scoring in the eighth minute after a pass from captain Steven Moreira in the box deflected to him off TFC's Sigurd Rosted. Rossi made no mistake, depositing the ball under the outstretched arms of TFC goalkeeper Sean Johnson for his team-leading 14th goal of the season. Johnson made a pair of clutch stoppage-time saves to preserve the Major League Soccer draw, which marked the second straight game in which TFC earned a late tie against a top opponent. The Canadian side also battled the league-leading Philadelphia Union to a 1-1 result one week earlier. Thanks to Vilsaint, who was acquired from his hometown club on Wednesday in a deal for midfielder Matty Longstaff, TFC (5-8-13) maintained its slim playoff hopes alive with the late point. Thursdays Keep up to date on sports with Mike McIntyre's weekly newsletter. Meanwhile, Columbus (13-9-5) missed the chance to leapfrog Nashville and Cincinnati, who were both idle, for second in the Eastern Conference. Columbus' Jacen Russell-Rowe, a Toronto native, entered the game for the Crew to begin the second half. The match marked Toronto's first home game since July 12 when it hosted Atlanta in a 1-1 draw. Toronto's next outing comes next Sunday on the road against Atlanta, which entered the day tied with TFC for 12th in the East. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 16, 2025.

Akie Iwai of Japan shoots 64 in Portland to take lead in bid for first LPGA Tour title
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Akie Iwai of Japan eagled the fifth hole and birdied the other three par 5s at Columbia Edgewater, shooting an 8-under 64 on Saturday to take a two-stroke lead in The Standard Portland Classic. Iwai is trying to join twin sister Chisato as an LPGA Tour winner this year after second-place finishes in Thailand in February and Los Angeles in April. She put on a ball-striking exhibition Saturday in mostly calm conditions on the tree-lined course, hitting to 3 feet to set up the eagle and twice to a foot for birdie — the last on the par-4 18th to get to 18-under 198. 'My style, my golf style, is aggressive,' she said. 'That's why no change this week. Also, aim to the pin — boom! boom! Every shot, every hole. That's it.' Grace Kim of Australia was second after a 67. She holed a 156-yard shot for eagle from the left rough on the par-4 17th. 'I was trying to see if I could get a drop,' Kim said. 'I wasn't entirely over the sprinkler-head boxes so you knew I just had to hit it. Leaked right again. I was like, `Oh, please get through the rough.' Somehow went in the hole, so I guess a little bit of luck in there.' Linn Grant was 14 under after a 65. The Swede won the 2023 Dana Open for her lone LPGA Tour title. 'Tried to go out and just be, I wouldn't say happy, but just accepting of whatever today would bring,' Grant said. 'I think I played very mature and just had a lot of fun.' Gurleen Kaur had a 70 to get to 13 under, and Aditi Ashok (65) was another stroke back with Gina Kim (67). Chisato Iwai — the winner in Mexico at Mayakoba in May — was in the group at 11 under after a 66. She also eagled the fifth hole. Haeran Ryu, at No. 9 in the world one of only two top-10 players in the field, also was 11 under. She had a hole-in-one on the 177-yard 16th in a 67. Akie Iwai dropped a stroke on the par-3 second, then played a five-hole stretch in 5 under. She hit her second shot to 3 feet to set up the eagle, then hit to a foot on the par-4 sixth. On the back nine, she birdied three of the first four holes, two of them par 5s, then hit a 152-yard shot to a foot on 18. Two-time champion Brooke Henderson, a stroke back after an opening 65, followed a second-round 73 with a 68 to get to 10 under. The Canadian star is winless since January 2023. Thursdays Keep up to date on sports with Mike McIntyre's weekly newsletter. Second-round leader Jeongeun Lee5 also was 10 under. She shot 74. Amateur Kiara Romero was 8 under after a 72. The University of Oregon star won the 2023 U.S. Girls' Junior and 2025 Big Ten title. The tournament is the longest continuous event on the LPGA Tour except for the majors, dating to 1972. ___ AP golf:
