"With all the excitement surrounding the NPF in the last year, we are thrilled to continue our long lasting relationship with the leader in professional women's sports," said Andrea Gordon, President of Diamond Sports. "The level of play and commitment to excellence on and off the field goes hand in hand with our corporate values and dedication to our sport. We looked forward to being in the circle in every NPF game for the next three years!"
