The Athletic Equinox on West End continues thanks to soccer’s victory over No. 5-seeded Clemson. This week, Sports Copy Editor Sam Curtis and Deputy Sports Editor Andrew Wilf join Sports Podcast Producer Aiden Rutman and Sports Editor Bryce Smith in the studio. The crew breaks down football’s win against formerly ranked Kentucky and what it means for the program moving forward. They discuss men’s basketball’s the differences between their loss against Southern Mississippi and their win at Temple. They continue with women’s basketball, and the success that Shea Ralph’s squad has found during their 4-0 start. They end with everyone’s favorite segment, Soccer with Sam. The team discusses what Vanderbilt must do to reach the program’s first DI Women’s Soccer Championship’s sweet sixteen.
