The Atlanta Dream drafted Paopao in the second round (18th overall) of Monday night’s WNBA Draft.

The San Diego Sockers are one win away from vanquishing their longtime rivals and winning their 17th indoor soccer championship. Tavoy Morgan scored two goals and added an assist as the Sockers beat the Chihuahua Savage 7-5 on Sunday night at Oceanside’s Frontwave Arena in Game 1 of the Ron Newman Cup finals. Win next Sunday in Mexico against the team that’s eliminated them from the last two playoffs, and the Sockers will clinch a Major Arena Soccer League title.

San Diego FC acquired Escondido native Milan Iloski on loan from FC Nordsjaelland on Wednesday, adding some valuable depth at forward. SDFC will be without forward Marcus Ingvartsen for months as he recovers from what the club says is a lower-body injury. The injury has created an opportunity for Iloski, 25, who attended San Pasqual High School and played collegiately at UCLA. He was a star for Orange County SC of USL Championship, netting 22 goals and winning the USL Golden Boot in 2022.
