I pay $50/annually for ESPN+ and it’s one of the best deals I’ve come across. It looks like there’s also a Disney+ package for $70/annually that gets you Hulu, Disney+ and ESPN+ if you need another excuse 🙂 Ava Tankersley Named SEC All-Freshman Team
FINAL: #1 Arkansas v #7 Vanderbilt, 1pm CT, SEC on ESPN/611 DirecTV

Before continuing on the SEC Tournament, let’s take a moment to congratulate Ava Tankersley (FZS/SLSG ECNL) for her SEC recognition. “Tank” started 7 games, playing in all 8 this shortened season as the team went 7-1, finishing with the best record in the SEC and topping the West Division. She scored three goals and had one assist. Her first goal was a memorable one against Alabama, a game-winning goal in overtime. She finished third on the team in scoring with 7 points.
