It's been a great start to the fall sports season. The volleyball team is riding a seven-match winning streak, the water polo team knocked off two ranked opponent's on their way to moving up in the national rankings, and the women's soccer team enters league play on a three match unbeaten streak. And of course the Navy Football team got into the win column, giving Brian Newberry his first as a head coach.
We'll update you on all these sports in addition to bringing you our Deep Dive and Mid Watch segments as well as our Question of the Day.

Carter discusses her journey from playing soccer as a young athlete and how her desire to serve led her to the U.S. Naval Academy. Her passion for soccer continues to drive her today.
Carter also unravels the moving story of the Afghanistan Women's National Team - and their continuing fight to be recognized by FIFA, international soccer's governing body.
This episode has its share of compelling stories and terrific insights. So let's get to it.
