5 of My Favorite Women in Sports Moments

Once a year, we celebrate National Girls and Women in Sports day. It seems as though we celebrate mens sports nearly everyday, but never recognize the accomplishments of women. As an aspiring woman in sports, I chose to highlight my five favorite women's sports moments. I hope that we continue to break barriers, glass ceilings, and male dominated fields. Girls and women belong in sports, too.

As a Mississippi State student, I couldn't leave this one out. in 2017 our women's basketball team narrowly upsets UConn with a final score of 66-64. Hail state to that!
