With Paige Bueckers drafted into the WNBA, the torch is passed to Azzi Fudd, now 22, who must embrace her role not only as a star shooter, but as the leader of the Huskies.

But love, like lacrosse and basketball, doesn't always play by the rules. Will they risk everything for something real... or walk away before the buzzer sounds? ⸻Complete

Not when no amount of fake smiles can hide the fact that they can't stand each other. Because love and hate? They're just two sides of the same poison.Complete
