It’s Mother’s Day Sunday and the tributes to moms all over are pouring in. Former LSU gymnast and viral influencer Livvy Dunne wished herself a Happy Mother’s Day with her dog Roux.
Now that Livvy Dunne’s five-year college gymnastics career has ended she has more time to spend with her White Golden Retriever.

ESPN documentary offers insight on life, death of former Stanford goalie Katie Meyer

A new ESPN documentary about Katie Meyer, the former Stanford soccer goalie who died by suicide in 2022, brings chilling video to the surface.
“Save – The Katie Meyer Story’’ will air at 11 a.m. ET on ESPN Saturday and stream afterward on ESPN+. Directed by Jennifer Karson-Strauss, the film deftly weaves interviews, video and a wrongful death lawsuit filed by Meyer’s parents against Stanford. In 2022, she was found dead in her dorm room the day after learning she faced possible expulsion for accidentally or intentionally spilling hot coffee on a Stanford football player.
The film opens with footage of Meyer, then captain of the soccer team, sitting next to her father, Steve. It was February 2022, and he had driven to Stanford from the family’s home in Southern California. Katie Meyer had invited him to be the guest on the first episode of her podcast.
“What do you think a lesson is that a person just has to learn on their own?’’ Katie Meyer asks on the podcast, “Be The Mentality.”
“Life is not easy, right?’’ her father replies. “… After some type of failure, whether it’s in sports or in schoolwork or your career, then if you just keep grinding and remain open-minded, it may actually be an opportunity to do something else.’’
Meyer died two weeks later. She was 22.
Her parents say they were unaware of the disciplinary matter and, if they had been, that their daughter would be alive today.
Dee Mostofi, Stanford’s assistant vice president for external communications, told USA TODAY Sports the school has not seen ESPN’s documentary so could not comment on it.
“Katie’s death was a tragedy,” Mostofi said. “It was heartbreaking for her family, for everyone who knew her, and for our entire community. Though we continue to respond to the litigation brought by the family, that fact does not diminish our deep sympathy for her loss and our continuing support for everyone impacted in our community.”
The film captures Meyer’s charisma, sheds light on her life and death and delves into her parents’ civil lawsuit, which is set to go to trial in April 2026. The podcast episode was the only one recorded by Meyer.
The lawsuit filed by Meyer’s parents against Stanford
Her parents fault Stanford in their lawsuit. Filed Nov. 23, 2022, with the Santa Clara Superior Court of California, it alleges the disciplinary matter against Meyer was conducted “negligently and recklessly.’’
Stanford points to Meyer’s parents. Six days before Meyer was found dead, according to a Stanford legal filing, she rehearsed in front of teachers an oral presentation she would make to the class about her family relationships before she came to Stanford.
“The notes taken of what Katie said reveal Katie’s struggles with her parents and their control and pressure to be perfect,’’ according to Stanford’s answer to the Meyers’ amended complaint filed with the court July 28, 2023.
At one point, Meyer recalls being a sophomore in high school when she was cut from the U.S. national team for players 17-and-under not long before the team competed in the World Cup.
“I was so ashamed and terrified because my entire identity was being that soccer player,’’ she says.
Responds her father about Meyer’s return home after being cut, “For you, your mom’s still making you pancakes in the morning. I’m still giving you bad dad jokes. It is OK, because you don’t want to let that necessarily at that age, at any age really, it’s difficult to not let something like that define.’’
Later, Meyer recalls not being good enough to play as a freshman at Stanford. Responds her father, “I actually thought it was a blessing in disguise,’’ adding he thought it gave her time to get acclimated.
The following year, Meyer’s clutch play helped propel Stanford to the national championship. On the podcast, she recalls running across the field to celebrate with her father.
“And mom,’’ Steve Meyer says.
“And mom,’’ Katie Meyer says. “Mom was there, too.’’
As the podcast wrapped up, Meyer checked her laptop screen to see who had posted questions and comments. Her mom had checked in, and Meyer read the words aloud.
“Hi, my loves.’’
Ex-Stanford star serves as film’s reporter
Julie Foudy, a former Stanford soccer star, serves as the reporter and the face of ESPN in the documentary.
“I am very vociferous about my connection to Stanford and always have been,” Foudy, who played there from 1989 to 1991 and graduated from the university in 1993, told USA TODAY Sports this week. “Love my time there.’’
Her connection to Stanford is not disclosed in the documentary. When asked by USA TODAY Sports whether doing so was discussed, Foudy replied, “We didn’t talk about it.’’
Andy Hall, a director of communications with ESPN, told USA TODAY Sports, “there was a discussion but she wasn’t involved in it’’ and ESPN decided Foudy’s ties to Stanford “did not make a difference in her being the reporter on the story.’’
In the documentary, Foudy asks tough but fair questions of Stanford. The school declined to have representatives appear on camera and responded to questions in writing, according to Foudy. Meyer’s parents were interviewed extensively on camera.
“I get why they didn’t want to get on camera, and I knew that was probably going to be difficult,’’ Foudy said of Stanford. “But yeah, I also knew it was a story that I think was important to tell. And as hard as it was, it’s a story that definitely people needed to hear.’’
Accusations of deceit
The film documents the Meyers’ efforts to push for the passage of AB 1575, Katie Meyer’s Law.
The law requires public California colleges and universities to allow students to have an adviser when facing an alleged violation of a student code of conduct. The bill passed unanimously in the California State Assembly, and Gov. Gavin Newsom signed it into law.
Because Stanford is a private school, it does not have to adhere to the law.
But a recent motion filed by the Meyers’ legal team states Katie Meyer had discussed the disciplinary matter with Jennifer Zimbroff, then deputy general counsel for the school’s office of general counsel and a resident fellow in the dorm where Katie Meyer was a resident advisor.
The motion, which includes text messages the plaintiffs say were exchanged between Meyer and Zimbroff, states, “The documented pattern of Ms. Zimbroff’s unethical conduct with Katie demonstrates that her dominant purpose was not providing legal advice to Stanford but rather acting as Katie’s attorney” (on an unrelated matter) “and extracting information from her as an informant. The text messages reveal a calculated strategy of deceit spanning for months leading up to Katie’s death.’’
The Meyers want redacted and withheld communications and documents of Zimbroff, according to the motion.
Stanford’s Mostofi told USA TODAY Sports there is no merit to the assertions made regarding Ms. Zimbroff. Mostofi said Zimbroff never acted as an attorney for Katie Meyer and as a resident fellow “cared deeply for Katie and was very supportive of her.”
“When Ms. Zimbroff learned that Katie was involved in an incident that might lead to a disciplinary proceeding, she informed colleagues in the legal office that she would not be involved in any legal counsel in those proceedings and would continue to support Katie in her resident fellow capacity,” Mostofi added. “We believe the mischaracterizations made by the plaintiffs in the latest filing regarding Ms. Zimbroff are false and reckless and we continue to believe that there is no merit to these claims.”
The matter is scheduled to be ruled on later this year, as are other issues before the trial begins.

The second round of the 2025 NHL playoffs provided another night of entertaining hockey as the Carolina Hurricanes and the Vegas Golden Knights took another step toward the conference finals. The Hurricanes blanked the Washington Capitals in Game 3, and the Golden Knights needed last-second heroics from Reilly Smith.
In Raleigh, Frederik Andersen slammed the door shut on the Capitals’ offense for 60 minutes. Andersen stopped all 21 shots he faced for a 4-0 shutout win. He was excellent, and Carolina’s offense got contributions from up and down the lineup.
Andrei Svechnikov got the scoring started with a beautiful individual effort in the second period, and Jack Roslovic recorded two points in the win. On the Washington side, Logan Thompson struggled in net, allowing four goals on just 28 shots against. He’ll need a bounce back in Game 4 to even the series at two games apiece.

On the other side of the continent, in Edmonton, the Golden Knights and Oilers looked like they were destined for overtime when Connor McDavid tied the score at 3 with just over three minutes left. Smith had other ideas.
With the clock was winding down in regulation, Smith picked up a loose puck in the high slot and made a brilliant play. He pump-faked a pair of Oilers, patiently walked around Edmonton goalie Stuart Skinner and banked home the winning goal off Leon Draisaitl’s stick with 0.4 seconds left.
Sunday’s slate of games has a tough act to follow, but the matchups are primed for more fireworks. First, the Winnipeg Jets and Dallas Stars will play a pivotal Game 3, and then the Toronto Maple Leafs will try to push the Florida Panthers to the brink of elimination.

COLLEGEVILLE, Minn. – In its second elimination game of the day, the fourth-seeded St. Olaf College baseball team bowed out of the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) Baseball Playoffs with a 5-2 loss to second-seeded Bethel University on Friday evening at Becker Park.
After eliminating third-seeded Saint John’s University earlier in the day, St. Olaf (23-16) led 2-0 in the sixth thanks to home runs from junior Mason Buck and sophomore Kanen Kreafle, but Bethel (30-12) rallied with two in the sixth and three in the eighth to claim the come-from-behind win. With the win, the Royals will need to defeat nationally-ranked and top-seeded Gustavus Adolphus College twice on Saturday to secure the title.
The loss brought an end to the careers of St. Olaf’s senior class, which helped the Oles to back-to-back MIAC Playoff appearances in the last two seasons and a 2024 MIAC regular-season title.
Buck and Kreafle accounted for all four of St. Olaf’s hits in the loss. Buck was 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run, while Kreafle was 2-for-3 with his first collegiate home run.
In the longest start of his collegiate career, sophomore Nick Levasseur held Bethel to two runs on six hits with five walks and four strikeouts over 5.2 innings in a no-decision. Levasseur induced three double plays to help keep the Royals scoreless until the sixth.
In a scoreless game, Kreafle led off the top of the third with an opposite-field solo home run before Buck started the top of the fourth with a solo shot for his third homer of the season. Levasseur got out of a bases-loaded, two-out jam in the bottom of the fourth with a swinging strikeout.
Bethel tied the game in the sixth on a sacrifice fly followed by a two-out single to chase Levasseur, but sophomore Joey Haas got the Oles out of the inning with a strikeout to keep the game tied. The game remained tied until Isaac Call hit a two-run home run two batters into what turned into a three-run bottom of the eighth for the Royals.

Time has long since turned the page on the 2024-2025 season, but Colorado College hockey revisited the past year for a final time on Friday night.
CC held its annual team banquet at the Carter Payne Center to celebrate the senior class and hand out individual awards.
Junior top-line center Noah Laba was named the Tigers’ Thayer Tutt MVP while junior goaltender Kaidan Mbereko won the Steve Ebert award, which recognizes dedication, desire, ability and sportsmanship.
Laba was tied for second in scoring with 26 points on 10 goals (also tied for the team lead) and 16 assists despite battling injuries which sidelined him for eight games.
Laba, a New York Rangers draft pick, signed a pro deal with the NHL team earlier this offseason.
Mbereko played 31 of 37 games between the pipes for CC. He recorded a .905 saves percentage and a 2.65 goals against average. Mbereko has announced his intent to return to the Tigers for his senior season.
Freshman winger Owen Beckner won the Bob Johnson award as the Tigers’ top freshman. Beckner posted a team-high 27 points on 20 assists and seven goals. As CC’s scoring leader, the Ottawa Senators draft pick also took home the M.B. Hopper award. Beckner is the first freshman since current Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Jaccob Slavin to lead the Tigers in scoring.
Other award winners
Henry Wilder, senior, G, Scott Winkler award – humility optimism and support
Ty Gallagher, grad student, D, Tony Frasca award – best postseason
Brady Cleveland (outgoing transfer), sophomore, D, Dave Peterson award – most improved player
Zaccharya Wisdom (outgoing transfer), sophomore, F, Rodman award – sportsmanship
Tommy Middleton, senior, F, Paul Markovich award – top student-athlete
Pooley and Murray join Tigers
On Friday, CC coach Kris Mayotte announced the addition of two new coaches to his staff.
Paul Pooley, who spent the past 20 seasons at Notre Dame, will join CC this fall as the Tigers associate head coach and Jordy Murray, who has been an assistant at Michigan Tech since 2022, will serve in the same role in Colorado Springs.
Pooley and Murray replace former associate head coach Peter Mannino, who parted ways with the team earlier in the offseason, and assistant coach Andrew Oglevie who joined the Notre Dame on May 1.
“Our search for a candidate to strengthen our championship culture prioritized qualities beyond just technical expertise,” Mayotte said in a release. “He brings not only a championship pedigree and an unwavering commitment to player growth but also a profound dedication to fostering meaningful connections. While I am eager to work with Paul, the greatest beneficiaries will be our players.
“In hiring Jordy, we’re adding a rising star whose vision aligns with the future of this program. Jordy has showcased an innate ability to identify talent, nurture skill, and forge relationships—the cornerstones of elite recruiting and player development.”
Missouri Baseball: Mizzou Beats Texas A&M 9-6 in College Station for first SEC Win
For the first time since the regular season finale in 2024 at Mississippi State, the Missouri Tigers were able to breakthrough to win an SEC baseball game.

For the first time since the regular season finale in 2024 at Mississippi State, the Missouri Tigers were able to breakthrough to win an SEC baseball game.
It happened last night in College Station with a 9-6 victory over Texas A&M as Mizzou (14-35, 1-24 SEC) finally got into the win column in conference play.
The win snapped a program record 12-game losing streak and the Tigers accomplished it in comeback fashion.
As usual, the pitching issues continued as Mizzou trailed 6-1 through three innings after two home runs by Jace LaViolette, the D1 Baseball SEC Preseason Player of the Year.
However, Missouri responded with eight unanswered runs. In the top of the 5th inning, Jackson Lovich’s 10th home run of the season cut the Aggies lead to 5-3.
In the top of the 9th, trailing 6-3, Mizzou scored six runs led by Jackson Lovich, Kaden Peer, and Chris Patterson.
Tigers making noise in the 9th!
A Lovich infield single has cut the lead to two, still with nobody out and the bases loaded.
The Aggies went quietly in the bottom of the 9th as Xavier Lovett worked a 1-2-3 inning which featured a diving catch by Cayden Nicoletto.
Not only was this Mizzou’s first SEC win of the season, but it marked the Tigers’ second consecutive win in College Station dating back to 2023.
As for Texas A&M, it is a damaging loss for their NCAA Tournament hopes — who fell to 10-15 in conference play. That’s hard to believe as the Aggies came into this season as the preseason favorites to win the SEC.
Mizzou will look to play spoiler later on this afternoon as the Tigers search for their first SEC series win since sweeping Florida from April 5th-7th of last season.
Game 2 of this series is set for 2:00 p.m. CST as Sam Horn in scheduled to get the start on SEC Network Plus.
