To prepare herself for basketball practice, Marta Galic said, she spent a lot of time in the bathroom. She would splash cold water on her face, practice the Superman pose in the mirror and make sure to empty her bladder. “Practices felt like entering a war zone,” she said.
Her frequent bathroom trips started after one particularly damaging practice during her freshman year at the University of San Francisco (USF).
The team was doing a challenging and repetitive layup drill. “People were collapsing on the floor,” Galic said. And she had to use the restroom. Galic said she asked her coach, Molly Goodenbour, if she could step off the court three times with increasing urgency, but that Goodenbour and an assistant coach told her to complete the drill first. Eventually, she lost control of her bladder.
“My jersey, my pants … everything was visibly wet,” she said.
Galic said that she approached her coach again, asking to go to the restroom to clean herself up, and that Goodenbour refused.
Marta Galic’s twin sister, Marija Galic, remembers that day vividly too, although Goodenbour would later say that she wasn’t aware of the incident when it happened and that players are allowed to leave the court to use the restroom.
It had been Marta and Marija Galic’s dream to play college ball in the U.S., but not long after their arrival at the Bay Area university, they say their love of the sport was overshadowed by the psychological challenges of a contentious relationship with their coach.
Researchers have found that athletes experience emotional abuse — a toxic pattern of verbal attacks, manipulation and/or controlling actions — more than any other form of harm. Yet, while schools and sports organizations have clear protocols for physical and sexual abuse, emotional maltreatment often falls through the policy cracks.
Among the dozens of athletes interviewed for this investigation, few achieved the accountability they sought. Marta and Marija’s story reveals the lasting marks of psychological trauma, but it also points to a possible path forward for others navigating a system that has long failed to respond.
Sold on a dream
In their family, fraternal twin sisters Marija and Marta are seen as “the yin and the yang” — Marta the analytical one and Marija the creative one. Basketball — which they grew up playing on local courts in their hometown of Zagreb, Croatia — was their shared love.
As teenagers, they played for the U20 (under age 20) Croatian national team, and U.S. colleges took notice, including coach Molly Goodenbour from USF, whom Marta remembers meeting following a European championship game.
Goodenbour visited Croatia multiple times when she was recruiting Marija and Marta. According to Marta, they showed her around their hometown, bringing her to a seafood restaurant in the center of the city. They ventured to a mountain on the edge of Zagreb, enjoying the scenery and sharing traditional Croatian food in a rustic, cabin-like restaurant. Marta said they also spent time running through drills in a local gym.
Over dinner in the family’s garden one night, Goodenbour told the twins’ mother that her daughters would be in good hands at USF. “That was the decisive moment for my wife,” their father, Kristijan Galic, said. “Everybody saw it in her face.” Marta and Marija also remember this moment.
And USF offered another benefit: Marta and Marija could attend together. Goodenbour had offered each a full ride for five years. That meant, in addition to the school covering their education, Marta and Marija would have five years to play four seasons of Division I basketball.
Marta said she was excited about playing in the U.S., if a bit nervous. The chance to play with her sister for a coach they had both built strong relationships with gave each the confidence that they were choosing the right school.
“ It seemed great, and there were just no signs that things were gonna go a completely different way,” Marta said.
Freshman year in San Francisco
USF is a private, Jesuit school. Its women’s basketball program competes in Division 1 of the NCAA, the highest level of U.S. college sports. Marta, a guard, and Marija, a forward, stand at 6 ‘0″. When they arrived in 2018, most of their teammates were also freshmen and international students. It was Goodenbour’s third season as head coach.
Almost immediately, the twins said, coach Goodenbour’s manner towards them began to shift.
They said they were used to strict coaches, but this was different. Marta would later testify that Goodenbour called her “lazy,” “worthless,” and a “piece of shit,” among other names.
Leilah Herrera, a player who left the USF team in 2021, said in a deposition video that the insults would fly every practice.
Herrera, who is African American and Puerto Rican, also said that then-associate coach Janell Jones made racially insensitive comments toward her. Jones has not responded to requests for comment.
Molly Goodenbour has declined repeated requests for an interview. She argued in legal filings that her comments to the twins were “solely about their basketball performance” and not personal. She said in trial testimony that she told players their performance was lazy and called them out when they quit in drills, but that she never called them names.
When she was asked about the incident when Marta urinated on herself, Goodenbour said that she felt really bad that this would happen to one of her players.
Goodenbour arrived at USF in September 2016, taking over midseason from her former Stanford University teammate, Jennifer Azzi. Azzi’s team had made it to the first round of March Madness the season prior. But under Goodenbour, the team struggled to build on this success, logging only slightly more wins than losses in her first two seasons.
By the end of her third season — Marta and Marija’s freshman year — the team’s record was 7-24. Goodenbour’s lawyer later referred to this year as being “very difficult and stressful” for the coach.
It was also difficult for Marija and Marta.
“You’re fighting, you’re giving your best, you’re literally collapsing on the ground,” Marta said. “And at the same time, you have someone hovering over your head saying, ‘You’re a f***ing idiot.’ It was miserable.”
Freshman year performance reviews
At the end of their freshman season, Marta and Marija walked into their performance reviews, each using their cellphone to secretly record their meeting with Goodenbour and associate coach Jones.
Marta said she was nervous that day and remembers her palms sweating. “ I felt confined in that room,” she said. In the recording Marta made of the meeting, Goodenbour tells Marta: “The next time you quit on something, I take your scholarship from you.”
The NCAA does not allow a coach to take away a student-athlete’s scholarship for poor performance or injury. Marta said she didn’t know that.
Marija’s meeting was similar to her sister’s. In the recording Marija made, Goodenbour can be heard telling Marija that her teammates don’t want to be paired up with her in drills, asking, “How do you deal with that? How do you look at yourself and say nobody wants me on their team?”
Marija and Marta filed a lawsuit against Goodenbour and USF in 2021, alleging that their coach was liable for intentional infliction of emotional distress, meaning that she intended to hurt them or had acted with reckless disregard for their well-being. The lawsuit also alleged that Goodenbour and USF were negligent, meaning the university and the coaching staff had a duty to care for the twins and had failed to do so.
Marija struggled with her mental health throughout her time at USF. “Suddenly I started getting these panic attacks. I’m having violent nightmares. I’m so depressed,” she recalled. These kinds of struggles were a new experience for her: “I never thought I was that kind of person, and nobody really prepares you for that.”
Her racing, anxious thoughts got worse when she was around Goodenbour. Marija suffered two mental health crises — one during her sophomore year, the other during her junior year — according to the legal complaint.
“I  was crying myself to sleep every night, and I would dread waking up in the morning,” Marija said. She recalled that there were times she wished she were injured so she could avoid practices.
A psychiatrist, who served as an expert witness for the twins in the trial, examined them and determined that they had developed “physiological and psychological responses to the trauma,” including Marta’s frequent trips to the bathroom, as well as “depressive symptoms,” including Marija’s suicidal ideation. While the twins had similar diagnoses, the psychiatrist found that Marta’s long-term prognosis was better than her sister’s.
The report concluded: “Marija and Marta Galic’s psychiatric illness was caused by Coach Goodenbour’s treatment on the USF Women’s Basketball Team.”
Limits to accountability
If a student-athlete alleges emotional abuse, there are a variety of people and institutions they can report it to: a trusted assistant coach or trainer, athletic department leadership, a professor affiliated with their team, a campus Title IX office, university leadership.
And they have a range of options beyond their university, including their sport’s national governing body (for example USA Basketball), the NCAA and SafeSport, an organization that investigates allegations of abuse in sports.
But student-athletes face limits in their search for accountability.
The NCAA does not have an emotional abuse policy to cover the 550,000 student-athletes who compete each year. An NCAA representative said that schools have primary responsibility for student-athletes’ safety. The NCAA declined multiple requests for an interview and instead pointed to its mental health best practices webpage.
SafeSport, which Congress created following the exposure of Larry Nassar’s abuse, for the most part does not investigate emotional and physical misconduct allegations. Instead, it routes these allegations to national governing bodies, organizations that may lack resources or training to thoroughly investigate. Marta said she had never heard of SafeSport.
During their time at USF, Marija and Marta reported their coach’s behavior to university staff: an assistant coach, athletic trainers, a school psychologist and athletic department leadership. So did their father. He sent multiple concerned emails about his daughters’ treatment to Joan McDermott, USF’s athletic director at the time.
USF investigated Marija’s claims that Goodenbour had been bullying her. Then-assistant vice president of human resources, Diane Nelson (now associate VP), led that investigation, interviewing only Marija, Goodenbour and Jones. Goodenbour said in a deposition that in her interview, Nelson did not make her aware of any bullying allegations. “She simply had me describe my practices,” Goodenbour said.
Nelson closed the investigation in December 2019, concluding that Goodenbour had not broken any USF policies.
Nelson did not respond to requests for comment. In a February statement, USF wrote, “While we acknowledge the seriousness of the issue, we dispute the allegations.”
Sports attorney Martin Greenberg — who has represented student-athletes in two dozen similar cases — said that the best practice for an investigation into a student-athlete’s allegation of abuse is for the university to hire an external, independent investigator. Greenberg pointed to an inherent conflict of interest when universities investigate their own employees.
No single independent, resourced institution has the authority to handle and investigate emotional abuse allegations against college coaches — and so experts say accountability can be elusive.
A symptom of this patchwork system is that coaches who are pushed out of one program can sometimes easily move to another.
Goodenbour was accused of similar behavior at previous programs, including at California State University, Chico and at the University of California, Irvine. At Irvine, she received a suspension in 2012 in an email from the athletic director, who noted that her “insensitive and abusive remarks” towards players was a pattern.
The Chico State allegations were covered by the Chico Enterprise-Record, which reported in 2006 that players accused Goodenbour of degrading them and directing obscenities at them. The outlet also reported that the university’s investigation found no wrongdoing, and that Goodenbour said her coaching style required “a period of adjustment for all players.”
When the USF hiring committee interviewed Goodenbour for the head coach position, its members did not ask about allegations of abusive conduct. Joan McDermott, the former athletic director at USF and a member of that committee, said in a deposition that this was because these questions had not been asked of other candidates.
McDermott said that Chico State’s athletic director told her Goodenbour was a good and stern coach. The hiring committee does not appear to have contacted UC Irvine.
Former USF head coach, Azzi announced her resignation on September 15, 2016. USF offered Goodenbour the position less than two weeks later, on September 27.
The verdict
The twins’ lawyer, Randy Gaw, said the power dynamic between a student-athlete and their coach was a key factor in his legal argument.
“If a random person off the street said the things or did the things to Marta and Marija, there would be no case because that person has no relationship, no power over them,” he said.
“You can’t just sue for random conduct like that. It’s not expected to have an impact on you. But Ms. Goodenbour was a surrogate parent in many ways.”
The trial went on for 10 days and on the 11th day, in July of 2023, the jury reached a verdict.
The decision was split.
In order to prove intentional infliction of emotional distress, the twins had to show that Goodenbour’s behavior was outrageous and that they had each suffered severe emotional distress as a result of it.
On this first point, the jury ruled in favor of both Marta and Marija, finding that Goodenbour had either intended to cause the twins harm or had acted with reckless disregard for their well-being.
But it found that Goodenbour’s actions had only caused Marija severe emotional distress.
It also found Goodenbour and USF grossly negligent toward Marija and awarded her $250,000 in compensatory damages and $500,000 in punitive damages.
Gaw said he remembers Marija’s joy when the verdict was read, “She felt validated,” he said. “She told her story and a group of impartial people decided that ‘Yes, what happened to you was wrong. You were not overly sensitive.'”
USF filed a motion to override the jury’s decision, and a judge agreed, rescinding Marija’s punitive damages financial award — but Marija appealed. And, last summer, a panel of appellate judges restored her award to the full amount.
That same panel also granted a re-trial in Marta’s case after Gaw argued that critical evidence was tossed out that could have affected the jury’s decision, including allegations that Goodenbour was emotionally abusive in previous programs.
Marta reached a settlement with USF and Goodenbour last month.
USF wrote in a recent statement to NPR, “We respect the legal process and the outcome of the settlement. While we disagree on several issues, we do not disagree on the importance and priority of the well-being of our student-athletes and everyone in the university community.”
Goodenbour and now-associate head coach Jones are still coaching at USF. Last spring, the university renewed Goodenbour’s contract through the 2028 season. In its February statement, USF wrote, “We continue to stand by the coaches and staff of the women’s basketball program.”
Beyond USF
The twins’ paths had already begun to diverge when they were at USF.
After Marija’s second visit to the campus counseling center her junior year, she did not return to the team. She graduated the next year, in 2022, with a degree in architecture.
Today she lives in New York City, where she recently earned an MFA in interior design. She said she can’t bring herself to pick up a basketball anymore.
“I want people to know that it’s not just the time you spend there with the coach,” she said, “It’s so many more years after that, and your life changes completely.”
Marta graduated from USF in three years, summa cum laude with a degree in finance.
“I came here to play basketball. I came here all the way to get this education. I didn’t want to quit. I didn’t want to prove her right,” she said, referring to Goodenbour. When she graduated from USF, Marta transferred her eligibility to Tulane University in Louisiana, where she played for coach Lisa Stockton while getting her MBA.
Stockton coached at Tulane for 30 years. Her teams appeared in postseason tournaments 21 times. She was inducted into the Conference USA Hall of Fame in 2023.
“There’s a difference between challenging someone and pushing them to be successful and being hard on them and being unfair,” Stockton said in a phone interview. “And I think you’ve got to know the difference.”
Stockton retired in 2024. She said that most working coaches would likely be hesitant to speak out about the complexities of college coaching.
“Right now it’s a really tough time to be a coach,” she said. “It’s really hard to do this job, where you’re pushing people beyond what they think their limits are and you’re trying to make them better.”
NCAA athletes have been gaining power — some earn income for their play. Others have amassed large social media followings and prominent brand deals. And they can transfer to new schools relatively easily. Stockton said this can affect team culture and the relationship between an athlete and their coach. “It’s a power dynamic that’s really changed,” she said, noting that this shift has made coaching more difficult.
Under coach Stockton, Marta rediscovered her joy for the sport and emerged as a team leader, serving as a captain. In her second season, she started in all 32 games, leading the team in three-pointers.
“It was night and day,” she said. “Tulane really showed me what big of a difference it makes to have great people around you.”
Marta said her sister watched all of her Tulane games from San Francisco, as she finished her final year at USF. For Marija, it was like seeing a version of herself out on the court, still able to enjoy playing the game that had required so much personal sacrifice.

AYESHA RASCOE, HOST:
I’m Ayesha Rascoe, and this is The Sunday Story from UP FIRST, where we go beyond the news of the day to bring you one big story. And just a heads up, today’s story includes mentions of sexual and emotional abuse, suicide and bullying and includes explicit language.
(SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC)
RASCOE: We know all too well the stories of the sexual abuse of college athletes.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED NPR CONTENT)
ARI SHAPIRO: A former U.S. Olympic gymnastics team doctor pleaded guilty to child sexual abuse in Michigan state court today.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED NPR CONTENT)
RENEE MONTAGNE: Child sex abuse charges have now stained a legendary story of college football, the long-running success story of Penn State.
RASCOE: In some cases, the violation of athletes by people who were supposed to care for them went on for years. Sometimes those with power to stop the abuse did little or nothing. How could this have happened to so many athletes and for so long? Today’s story asked that same question, but we’re talking about a different kind of abuse of power.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
LEYLA HERRERA: I’ve seen her call us useless, stupid, incompetent when we couldn’t complete a drill at her level. I’ve seen my teammates crying.
RASCOE: When we come back, look at the complicated issue of emotional abuse in college sports.
(SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC)
RASCOE: We’re back with The Sunday Story, and joining us now are reporters Julia Haney and Elizabeth Santos. They’ve been investigating the issue of emotional abuse in college sports for the past year. Julia and Elizabeth, welcome to the podcast.
ELIZABETH SANTOS: It’s great to be here.
JULIA HANEY, BYLINE: Thanks for having us.
RASCOE: So, Julia and Elizabeth, I think many of us are familiar with the stories of coaches who are really tough and demanding of their players. But your reporting is about something different. You’ve been looking into the issue of emotional abuse in college sports.
SANTOS: That’s right, Ayesha. We found that emotional abuse can look different from coach to coach. But there are specific patterns, things like verbal attacks, manipulation and controlling behaviors.
HANEY: That’s just to name a few. And we’re not talking about one-off moments where a coach, for example, loses their temper. We’re talking about persistent behaviors that begin to impact student athletes’ mental well-being, and the stakes can be high.
RASCOE: So what does that look like in practice?
SANTOS: To really explain that, we want to tell you about Julia Pernsteiner, a student athlete in Jacksonville, Florida. We cannot get her story out of our heads.
HANEY: She was a DI cross-country runner at Jacksonville University. Her friends, teammates and those who are close with her describe her as determined and goofy. They say that she had a powerful, intuitive read on people.
SANTOS: And in the fall of 2021, Pernsteiner started making a series of phone calls. She called everyone she could think of to report that her track coach was abusive.
HANEY: The coach, Ronald Grigg, was the longtime head of the program.
RASCOE: I mean, you said she was calling everyone. Like, what do you mean by that, everyone?
HANEY: Well, in a legal complaint filed by her family, it’s clear that Pernsteiner reached out to a lot of people about Grigg’s alleged behavior, including her college administrators, trainers and the Jacksonville University Athletic Department. Pernsteiner also called the University’s Counseling Center, a local hospital, a law firm, a legal aid group, a women’s center, local and national nonprofits, news organizations and the NCAA. That’s according to a local TV reporter who later went through Pernsteiner’s call log, and an off-duty officer for the sheriff’s department even came to speak with her. He was working as a campus security officer at the time.
SANTOS: And it was actually the body camera footage that really stood out to us. That same local TV reporter, Samantha Mathers, posted the footage on YouTube. In this clip, which is a little scratchy, you can hear Julia Pernsteiner telling the officer how her coach was treating her.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
JULIA PERNSTEINER: He’d be like, why do I keep you around? If you’re not smart, you’re not fast, like, why do I keep you around? Like, trying to, like – and he kept saying that, like – basically, like, mind f***ing me, like, telling me, like, go kill yourself. You’re awful. Like…
HANEY: And she says…
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
PERNSTEINER: One time, I was talking with him, and he said – he was like, I’ve never hit you, have I?
HANEY: The officer asks…
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
UNIDENTIFIED OFFICER: So has he physically touched you…
PERNSTEINER: No.
UNIDENTIFIED OFFICER: …In an abusive way? OK.
PERNSTEINER: No.
RASCOE: So Pernsteiner isn’t saying that Grigg physically touched her or physically hit her or anything?
SANTOS: Right. She says he humiliated and degraded her. But there was nothing the officer could do about that. Here he is again.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
UNIDENTIFIED OFFICER: The bad thing is that in Duval County, the state of Florida, emotionally abusiveness isn’t a crime. There’s nothing criminal…
PERNSTEINER: Really?
UNIDENTIFIED OFFICER: …With – no crime has been committed with that.
PERNSTEINER: That’s so f***ed up.
SANTOS: After some back and forth, the officer tells her…
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
UNIDENTIFIED OFFICER: Like I said, it’s just not a criminal statute to make people feel bad.
HANEY: The question is whether the coach’s alleged behavior went beyond that. Pernsteiner’s teammates say he called her things like retarded, useless and the slowest f***ing runner in the world. Grigg had actually cut Pernsteiner from the team a month before she spoke with this officer, according to the family’s legal complaint.
RASCOE: So, I mean, that’s going to raise the question, like, was this someone who was just, you know, upset that she’d been kicked off the team?
SANTOS: Well, but she wasn’t the only student athlete who claimed they’d been mistreated. In recordings that Pernsteiner made, she said she collected testimonials from 20 other athletes, and they told her that they’d experienced similar verbal abuse and body shaming.
HANEY: Right. They also alleged that he held scholarships over their heads and bullied women on the team. A volunteer assistant coach, Alexa Ibar (ph), said she’d also been mistreated by Grigg and told us that she had reported him to the athletic department. A track team alum also told us that Julia was encouraging teammates to submit complaints as well.
SANTOS: But none of this made a difference on the day that Julia Pernsteiner met with that officer. After he left her that day, he wrote in his report, Julia made no criminal allegations and appeared in good physical health.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
UNIDENTIFIED PASTOR: Let us pray.
HANEY: Weeks later, Julia Pernsteiner took her life in her dorm room. She was 23 years old. Her funeral was held near her hometown in Minnesota and posted on YouTube.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
UNIDENTIFIED PASTOR: Oh, God, who have set a limit to this present life, so as to open up an entry into eternity.
HANEY: Her uncle read a poem he wrote with the refrain, run free, Julia. Run free.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #1: Run free, Julia. Run free. I know you are with God in heaven now. You made it to the finish line.
RASCOE: I mean, that’s beyond devastating, right? And I can’t imagine what her family and teammates were going through.
SANTOS: It was a really rough time for them. When we spoke to Sadie Morris, another runner, she said that the team was in shambles.
SADIE MORRIS: My teammates weren’t doing well when they came back after break.
HANEY: She says she was still running well at practice, but others were struggling emotionally. According to Morris, Coach Grigg was frustrated.
MORRIS: He was like, oh, so is your teammates going to use Julia’s death as a get-out-of-jail-free card?
RASCOE: So what happened to the coach?
HANEY: So Coach Grigg continued to coach for the rest of that season after Pernsteiner died. He resigned the following summer. He hasn’t responded to our calls or emails requesting an interview.
SANTOS: Pernsteiner’s family filed a wrongful death complaint against the university and Grigg in 2023, alleging, quote, “he created a toxic atmosphere of humiliation and intimidation by belittling, disparaging and ridiculing runners who did not meet his standards.”
HANEY: They also allege that the school tolerated his behavior because Grigg’s teams were competitive. He was head coach of the team for two decades, and during that time, hundreds of student-athletes went through his program.
SANTOS: The Pernsteiner family ultimately settled, so they can’t talk to us about the details. And in the settlement, there was no admission of wrongdoing by the university. We reached out to Jacksonville University for the story and didn’t hear back.
HANEY: But our reporting has found that the abuse Pernsteiner alleged is not an outlier. Her story is just one of over a hundred emotional abuse allegations that we’ve compiled dating back to 2011. We can’t tell you all of these stories, but there’s one more, one that ended differently that we wanted to share. In this other case, the allegations were taken seriously by a jury in a trial.
SANTOS: And the legal decision that followed could change how universities handle student-athletes’ claims of emotional abuse.
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #2: We want for other athletes to know that they’re not alone to know that it’s possible to fight this, to know that schools should do better.
RASCOE: That story, when we come back.
We’re back with The Sunday Story, and reporters Julia Haney and Elizabeth Santos are talking about their reporting on emotional abuse in college sports. So, Julia and Elizabeth, I understand that you’re both working reporters now, but you started this story while you were both in grad school. So how did you come across it?
HANEY: Well, I was on the hunt for a story, and I heard about a situation that I thought was highlighting a case of sexual abuse on a college sports team. But it turned out the issue was really one of emotional abuse, and that got me thinking that there was a story here, one about student athletes grappling for accountability.
SANTOS: And when Julia came to me with the story, I thought it was pretty powerful. So we decided to report it out together.
RASCOE: So we’ve heard about the case of Julia Pernsteiner, and you alluded to a different case, one that could change how allegations of emotional abuse of college athletes are handled. Can you tell me about that?
SANTOS: Yeah. But before we jump into that, it’s important to know that researchers say emotional abuse in sports is more common than physical or sexual abuse. And, you know, most of the student-athletes we spoke to who reported it – they didn’t get the outcome they were looking for.
HANEY: But every great sports story has a tenacious underdog, or in this case, two. And that’s where our story starts with Marija and Marta Galic, who filed a lawsuit back in 2021 against their head coach and the University of San Francisco, or USF.
SANTOS: Marija and Marta are from Croatia. They told us they started playing basketball when they were little on their neighborhood court. They both loved the game, but as people, they’re very different. Here’s Marta.
MARTA GALIC: Our family and people who know us very well often kind of describe us as yin and the yang.
SANTOS: Marta’s the analytical one. She describes her sister, Marija, as the creative one.
MARTA GALIC: She was always more artsy, creative type. We’re different but very complementary, I’d say. I mean, she’s always the person I turned to, and we – always has a different perspective that kind of complements mine.
HANEY: And they knew how to play to each other’s strengths on and off the court. They even played for their Croatian national team.
RASCOE: So it sounds like they were serious players. I mean, and enough to catch the eye of coaches in the U.S.
SANTOS: Yeah. So once they were in high school, U.S. colleges started recruiting them. For Marta, she says it came down to Columbia and USF. But Columbia was only interested in her and not her sister. The University of San Francisco offered them both full rides for five years.
MARTA GALIC: I wanted to go with her. You’re moving across the world to have someone, especially your closest person go with you and share the same experience. So that definitely was a huge factor for me.
HANEY: And they had become close with the new USF head coach, Molly Goodenbour.
RASCOE: OK. So, you know, tell me a little bit more about Coach Goodenbour.
HANEY: Well, Goodenbour is from Iowa. She played basketball at Stanford for the legendary coach Tara VanDerveer. She won two national championships.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
UNIDENTIFIED SPORTSCASTER: Stanford’s got four 3-pointers today, and Molly Goodenbour’s got them all.
SANTOS: And when she was a player, Goodenbour was a guard, just like Marta. And in 2016, she took over the USF head coach job from a former Stanford teammate.
HANEY: During the recruitment process, Marija and Marta recall Goodenbour flying to Croatia multiple times to visit them.
RASCOE: So it sounds like Goodenbour was really making a big effort to recruit the twins.
SANTOS: She definitely was. Here’s Marta again.
MARTA GALIC: We took her around Croatia around town. We showed her everything. Obviously, like, shared meals together. Really made this connection.
HANEY: Between visits, the twins say that they were in regular touch. They both remember one moment in particular from one of Goodenbour’s visits.
MARTA GALIC: What stayed with me is really kind of the sentence she shared at the end of one of her trips. And I remember my mom was there and my parents were there, and she, you know, promised my mom and she told us, like, she would take care of us, and, you know, your kids are in good hands.
RASCOE: I know, like, as a parent myself, that’s what you want to hear a coach say, right? Tell me more about the University of San Francisco.
HANEY: USF is a Catholic school. It’s small, progressive and right in the center of the city. Its motto is, change the world from here. And you can see that printed on banners all over the hillside campus.
SANTOS: It’s a DI school, so its teams play at the highest level of college sports. Marija and Marta arrived in September 2018. It was Goodenbour’s third year as head coach.
MARTA GALIC: It seemed great, and there were just no signs that things were going to go completely different way than they did.
HANEY: The team was young, lots of freshmen, and most of them were international students.
SANTOS: But the twins said Coach Goodenbour seemed different almost immediately.
MARTA GALIC: On the court and after our arrival, was – she became this totally different person that I knew so far.
RASCOE: What did they say was different about Coach Goodenbour?
SANTOS: Well, they were used to strict coaches, ones with high expectations, ones who would yell at them. And they knew how to work hard. But when we spoke with Marija, she said Goodenbour’s tone was off.
MARIJA GALIC: I’ve never really had anyone that, like, mean and, like, personal.
HANEY: And when we spoke with Marta, she agreed.
MARTA GALIC: Yeah. The way she started treating players, the way she started treating us, the way she started talking to us, the language she started using, the tone.
SANTOS: What kinds of things would she say to you?
HANEY: Here, Marta paused for a minute, and when she opened her mouth to speak again, the words she says her coach used all came pouring out.
MARTA GALIC: She would call us idiots, stupid, worthless, low of the low. She would say, you look like a f***ing toothpick. She called us pieces of s***. You’re a f***ing idiot. You’re stupid, lazy, worthless.
SANTOS: Had you ever had coaches who used that kind of language before?
MARTA GALIC: No, never. Never. And I’ve played basketball for years before I came to USF and never had really anything like it.
RASCOE: So here you have Marija and Marta in a new country at a new school on a new team with a coach that they say they don’t know anymore.
SANTOS: Yeah, it was definitely overwhelming for them.
HANEY: And in our reporting, we’ve noticed a pattern in the stories we’ve heard. Often, athletes have said it took time to recognize issues with their coach’s behavior. Many say that the turning point was watching a teammate face the same treatment that they had. And for Marta and Marija, it was like each was holding up a mirror to the other.
MARTA GALIC: Like, it was, you know, double the effect because, you know, just to me, at some points, like, even seeing her go through some of these things felt a little bit – it almost felt worse than me going through it.
RASCOE: Well, what about their teammates?
SANTOS: Yeah. Later on, during the twins’ litigation against USF and Goodenbour, their teammates were asked how the coaches spoke to them on the court.
HANEY: Here’s one of those players, Leyla Herrera (ph), speaking in a deposition video.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
HERRERA: I’ve seen her call us useless, stupid, incompetent when we couldn’t complete a drill at her level. I’ve seen my teammates crying, so just to name a few.
RANDY GAW: How frequently would she say those types of things to your teammates?
HERRERA: Every practice.
GAW: How many times per practice?
HERRERA: Three or four.
SANTOS: The man asking the questions here is the twins’ lawyer, Randy Gaw. Herrera, who is African American and Puerto Rican, also said that the assistant coach, Janell Jones, made racially insensitive comments towards her.
RASCOE: And so what does Goodenbour say about all this?
HANEY: Well, Goodenbour argued in legal filings that her comments to the twins were, quote, “solely about their basketball performance and not personal.” She said in her trial testimony that she told players they were lazy and that she called them out when they quit in drills but that she never called them names.
SANTOS: And she said that she gave them positive feedback. For example, she sent Marta texts, encouraging her and reminding her of her potential early in her freshman year.
HANEY: Coach Goodenbour has declined our repeated requests for an interview, and Assistant Coach Jones has not responded.
RASCOE: DI sports can be intense and really high-pressure. Do you think that contributed to the environment that the twins allege existed?
HANEY: I mean, we don’t really know what Goodenbour’s motivation was, but, yes, it’s true that this was a high-pressure environment, and she might have been under specific pressures. NCAA coaches face extreme pressure to win, and like anybody else, their jobs are tied to their performance. Goodenbour’s lawyer referred to Marija and Marta’s freshman year as being, quote. “very difficult and stressful for their coach.”
SANTOS: And just before Goodenbour took over, USF was doing great. The team had made it to the first round in March Madness. But after becoming head coach, Goodenbour’s team struggled. In the first two seasons, they had only slightly more wins than losses. In the third season, which was Marta’s and Marija’s freshman year, the team’s record was seven wins and 24 losses. Marta says it was really tough.
MARTA GALIC: You’re fighting. You’re giving your best. You’re literally collapsing on the ground. You’re trying to stand up. You’re trying to go through the drill, and at the same time, you have someone hovering over your head saying you’re a f***ing idiot. It was miserable.
HANEY: The twins’ lawsuit cites a specific incident that they say crossed a line. During a practice in their freshman year, Marta says that she asked to use the restroom three times with increasing urgency during a drill.
SANTOS: She said Coach Goodenbour told her no, and that an assistant coach also said, quote, “not if Coach Goodenbour said no.” Marta told us the same story in an interview.
MARTA GALIC: Running to the point where not only I could not, like, seriously control my legs anymore. Like, as I really needed to go use the restroom, I could not control my bladder anymore, and I just urinated on myself and my whole – my jersey, my pants, everything was visibly wet. And I remember, like, in that state, I was so – I don’t even have the words to describe. Like, I felt so embarrassed, so ashamed, low.
SANTOS: And she says she went back to Goodenbour a fourth time.
MARTA GALIC: And I approach her at that half-court. She was standing on the left side. I so vividly remember. I’m like, Coach, I literally urinated on myself. I have to go to the bathroom. Her response? No, you can go whenever you finish the drill.
SANTOS: Marta says she completed the drill before going to the restroom and cleaning herself up.
RASCOE: OK. How did Goodenbour respond to that allegation?
HANEY: In her testimony, Goodenbour said that she wasn’t aware of this incident when it happened. She stated that players are free to leave the court whenever they need to use the restroom. And she said she felt really badly that this would happen to one of her players. But after this incident, Marta says she would use the bathroom multiple times before practice, worried about being humiliated again. She used this time to prepare herself.
MARTA GALIC: Splashing cold water, doing the Superman pose, like, anything you can to kind of prepare myself to face those next couple of hours.
SANTOS: She says practices felt like entering a war zone.
HANEY: And then it was time for the players’ performance reviews in March of their freshman year. The twins decided to secretly record their meetings with Coach Goodenbour and Assistant Coach Janell Jones using their cellphones.
SANTOS: In these recordings, you can hear Goodenbour threatening to take away their scholarships.
HANEY: In Marija’s recording, Goodenbour can be heard telling her repeatedly that she does not want to coach her, that Marija is going to be miserable and that she will lose her scholarship if she messes up. Because it was secretly recorded, the tape quality here is poor.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
MOLLY GOODENBOUR: The next time you quit on a drill, you’re not going to have a scholarship anymore.
MARIJA GALIC: OK. I understand.
HANEY: And later on in that meeting…
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
GOODENBOUR: But when you’re the person in the room that knows their teammates don’t really want to be on their team in a drill or in a – I mean, gosh, how do you deal with that? How do you look at yourself and say, nobody wants me on their team?
HANEY: Goodenbour continues.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
GOODENBOUR: You can go somewhere else now and have an opportunity to have a fresh start. But you have a lot of baggage right now that it’s going to be really difficult for you to overcome. I can honestly say I don’t want to coach you. I don’t.
RASCOE: I’m sure that was very hard to hear for Marija. What about Marta’s meeting? Was it similar?
HANEY: Yeah. Goodenbour made similar statements to Marta. Marta says that she was really nervous going in. She remembers her palms sweating.
MARTA GALIC: I felt, like, confined in that room, and, you know, them kind of attacking me. It was me kind of alone versus them. And at that time, I’m this, you know, foreigner freshman at the end of my year. I have no idea what’s happening, what they can or cannot do. And suddenly they’re, you know, threatening to take away my scholarship.
HANEY: Here’s Goodenbour in this meeting.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
GOODENBOUR: The next time you quit on something, I take your scholarship from you.
HANEY: And Assistant Coach Jones jumps in, too.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
JANELL JONES: You’re going to lose your scholarship, and then you will be back in Croatia because it’s – you’re not going to be – no one enters – there’s not enough schools going to pick you up here in the United States because they’re going to call us and they’re going to say, why did you guys kick Marta off the team? Because you don’t have any stats and we’re going to say because she quits.
MARTA GALIC: I believed them. I mean, I thought it was all true. I thought that’s what she was able to do, and, you know, she was kind of the person in control of my future.
RASCOE: Well, I mean, I don’t know much about sports, so I would think that, too. Like, it seems like coaches do have a lot of power.
SANTOS: Sure, they do. But here’s the thing – the NCAA does not allow a coach to take away a scholarship for poor performance or injury. Marta says she didn’t know that.
HANEY: By the end of her freshman year, Marta says that she wanted to graduate as soon as possible. She wanted to get out of this environment.
SANTOS: And meanwhile, Marija told us that starting her freshman year, she was experiencing feelings she had never known before USF. She says she began to have racing, anxious thoughts that got worse when she was around Goodenbour.
MARIJA GALIC: Suddenly, I started getting these panic attacks and having violent nightmares. I’m, like, I’m so depressed. I’ve never thought I was that kind of person, and nobody really prepares you for that.
SANTOS: She said she started to wish that she would not wake up.
MARIJA GALIC: I was, like, literally on the edge. I felt like there was, like, no point in continuing, like, with life.
HANEY: Marija suffered two mental health crises, according to the legal complaint, the first in the fall of her sophomore year, when she reported Goodenbour’s treatment of her to a USF trainer who walked her over to the school’s counseling and psychological services for an evaluation. Marija received therapy there after that.
RASCOE: Did getting therapy help her? Was she able to cope with the stress, you know, after she got the therapy?
SANTOS: Marija says there was a brief period where it felt like she was gaining Goodenbour’s approval, but that didn’t last long.
HANEY: And she had a second crisis in January of her junior year. At this point, she says she had begun to feel numb. Her father sent an email to an athletic trainer stating that Marija had told him she did not want to live anymore. The trainer immediately got in touch with Marija and helped her call the counseling center again.
RASCOE: And Marija is saying that the reason for these crises was the way Goodenbour was coaching her?
HANEY: It’s never any one thing. But there was a psychiatrist who served as an expert witness for the twins in the trial. She examined them and determined that they both suffered a, quote, “psychiatric illness.” And this psychiatrist wrote in her report for the trial, quote, “Marija and Marta Golic’s psychiatric illness was caused by Coach Goodenbour’s treatment on the USF women’s basketball team.”
RASCOE: OK. So let’s zoom out for a minute. You’ve said emotional abuse in college sports is common. So are there procedures in place to protect students? Like, like, where do they turn to for help?
HANEY: Well, when a student athlete experiences emotional abuse, they might report to any number of institutions.
SANTOS: Yeah. Ayesha, think of these places that a student might report to as concentric circles. At the center, you have the team’s coaching staff and other support staff, then the athletic department, then the university.
HANEY: Outside of all of that, you have a sports national governing body. This is something like USA Basketball. Then you have the NCAA and SafeSport, which is an organization that investigates allegations of abuse in sports. And finally, you have the legal system. We’ve also seen students report through channels designed for victims of sexual abuse and gender discrimination. For example, a campus Title IX office.
SANTOS: And during their time at USF, Marija and Marta knocked on many doors.
HANEY: Yeah. They reported to university staff, an assistant coach, athletic trainers, a school psychologist and athletic department leadership. So did their father.
RASCOE: So how did the school respond?
SANTOS: USF’s head of NCAA compliance reached out to the twins to speak about their experiences on the team. Marija met with him and HR leader Diane Nelson. Marija told them that she was being bullied and that Goodenbour and Jones had said that they would make her life miserable if she returned the following year.
HANEY: And here we want to add that the NCAA does not have an emotional abuse policy to cover the over 500,000 student-athletes who compete each year. A representative there said that schools are the ones primarily responsible for student-athletes’ safety. The NCAA declined our multiple requests for an interview and referred us to their mental health best practices webpage.
SANTOS: USF investigated Marija’s claims. Nelson from HR led that investigation, but she didn’t interview any student-athletes on the team other than Marija. The only other two people she spoke with were Goodenbour and Jones. Goodenbour said in a deposition that in her meeting with Nelson, she was not made aware of any bullying allegations. Here’s the twins’ attorney, Randy Gaw.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
GAW: Did Miss Nelson ask you any questions about whether you had made any inappropriate comments to any of your players?
GOODENBOUR: No. She simply had me describe my practices.
HANEY: It’s not clear whether Nelson asked Goodenbour about the threats to take the twins’ scholarships. Goodenbour testified that she was never asked about this. At the end of her investigation, Nelson concluded that Goodenbour had not broken any USF policies. Nelson has not responded to our request for comment. USF wrote in a statement that the university acknowledges the, quote, “seriousness of the issue,” but, quote, “disputes the allegations.”
SANTOS: Here’s the twins’ lawyer again, Randy Gaw, speaking in an oral argument from last August.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
GAW: Coach Jones admitted that the scholarship threat was made. And Miss Nelson admitted under testimony that a threat to take away a scholarship would be improper. And yet she exonerates them and, like, writes the false statement that there was no evidence of the scholarship threat whatsoever. The investigation was so perfunctory – nothing happened.
RASCOE: OK. So the twins’ lawyer is saying the investigation was not very thorough. But again, the university is kind of policing itself, right? Like, instead of bringing in someone independent to review the twins’ allegations.
HANEY: Well, yes, but it’s complicated. We spoke with a lawyer who’s represented student-athletes in two dozen similar cases. And he says because of the inherent conflict of interest, the right way to do it is to hire someone outside of the university, an external independent investigator. But even in transparent, independent investigations, the university still sets the rules for what is within and outside the scope of an investigation, and universities want to avoid liability exposure.
RASCOE: But what about that independent nonprofit SafeSport, the organization specifically tasked with looking into abusive coaching?
SANTOS: Yeah. So SafeSport was created by Congress in 2017 after Larry Nassar’s abuse of athletes was exposed.
HANEY: But SafeSport was primarily founded to prevent sexual abuse. There are some exceptions, but for the most part, it doesn’t investigate emotional and physical misconduct allegations. Marta says she’d never even heard of SafeSport.
SANTOS: So basically, there are many organizations who might investigate, but it’s a patchwork system with many holes. Often, even coaches who are pushed out of their programs just end up popping up somewhere else.
RASCOE: That must be pretty frustrating or even painful to students who allege abuse.
SANTOS: Yeah. And to that point, let’s go back to Coach Goodenbour. She’d been accused of similar abusive behavior at previous programs, including at Chico State and UC Irvine.
HANEY: At Irvine, Goodenbour received a suspension and an email from the athletic department noting that her, quote, “insensitive and abusive remarks towards players” was a pattern.
RASCOE: So with all of that on her record, how did she end up getting the head coach job at USF?
HANEY: That’s a great question, Ayesha. We know the hiring process was pretty expedited, just 11 days. And we know from a deposition of the school’s athletic director that Goodenbour was not asked about those accusations of verbal abuse because those questions had not been asked of other candidates. Chico State’s athletic director did tell USF’s athletic director that Goodenbour was a good and stern coach.
RASCOE: So despite some controversy, Goodenbour is head coach at USF, and it seems like the school has her back. So where does that leave Marta and Marija?
SANTOS: Well, the last option is to file a lawsuit, and that’s what the twins did.
HANEY: Marija and Marta’s father is a lawyer in Croatia, and a mutual friend introduced him to another lawyer in San Francisco, Randy Gaw, who we heard from earlier.
SANTOS: Gaw’s firm does business litigation, but they take on some personal injury cases as well. He says he’s been working on this one effectively pro bono for years.
GAW: We do some, you know, kind of personal injury cases on the side, and, you know, this was one of them because we felt like we can make a difference.
RASCOE: So you said that Marija and Marta filed their case in 2021. What did they allege?
HANEY: They alleged that Goodenbour was liable for intentional infliction of emotional distress, meaning that she had intended to hurt them or had acted with reckless disregard for their well-being. In short, that her actions had crossed a line.
SANTOS: The lawsuit also alleged that Goodenbour and USF were negligent, meaning the school and the coaching staff had a duty to care for them and failed to do so.
GAW: The power dynamic is also a critical component of this contextual analysis. If a random person off the street said the things or did the things to Marta and Marija, there would be no case because that person has no relationship, no power over them, right? And we in society should have rules, basically, like, you can’t just sue for random conduct like that. Like, it’s not expected to have an impact on you. But Ms. Goodenbour was a surrogate parent in many ways.
SANTOS: Gaw told us that the legal system has some catching up to do when it comes to emotional abuse. He says there’s resistance in the law to mental damages, and that judges and jurors are skeptical of plaintiffs who claim they were emotionally damaged.
GAW: So really, you’re dealing with a resistance to that, in a lot of jurors – or not a lot of jurors, but at least some jurors – who just don’t think that a purely mental injury is, like, a real thing, or at least it’s a thing that’s not as harmful as a physical injury.
RASCOE: So in some ways, he’s saying it was an uphill battle.
SANTOS: Exactly. Gaw never expected this case would go to trial. Typically, cases like this are settled out of court. For Marta and Marija, this was also about justice. They said they went through all of this so that other athletes wouldn’t have to experience what they did. The trial went on for 10 days, and on the 11th day in July of 2023, the jury reached a verdict.
RASCOE: What did it find?
SANTOS: It found that Goodenbour’s behavior was outrageous towards Marta and that she had either intended to cause Marta harm or had acted with reckless disregard for Marta’s well-being. But the jury found that these actions had failed to cause Marta severe emotional distress.
RASCOE: OK. So they’re saying that Goodenbour crossed a line, but Marta ended up mostly OK. So what about Marija?
HANEY: Well, the jury sided with Marija, finding that Goodenbour was liable for intentional infliction of emotional distress and that Marija had suffered severe emotional distress. It also found that Goodenbour and USF were grossly negligent. It awarded Marija $250,000 in compensatory damages and $500,000 in punitive damages.
GAW: What I do remember is when the jury verdict was read afterwards, her sobbing with joy, you know, because she felt validated, that she told her story and a group of impartial people decided that, yes, what happened to you was wrong. You were not overly sensitive.
RASCOE: And did the university accept the ruling, or did they appeal it?
SANTOS: So they filed a motion asking a judge to override the jury’s decision. And the judge actually did take away Marija’s punitive damages award. But Marija appealed. And late last summer, a panel of appellate judges restored her award, giving her the full amount.
HANEY: That same panel also granted a retrial for Marta’s case after Gaw argued that critical evidence was tossed out which would’ve impacted the jury’s decision. This included allegations that Goodenbour was emotionally abusive in previous programs. Marta was granted a retrial for her negligence claim but actually reached a settlement with USF late last month.
RASCOE: And what about Goodenbour? Like, where is she today?
(SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC)
SANTOS: Last year, USF renewed Goodenbour’s contract through the 2028 season. She’s still coaching there today.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
UNIDENTIFIED ANNOUNCER: Our half-court shot, brought to you by USF head coach Molly Goodenbour.
HANEY: A university representative wrote to us in a statement that while the school respects the legal process, it does not agree with all of the outcomes. The representative wrote, quote, “the university and our employees have acted in good faith and in accordance with their responsibilities. We continue to stand by the coaches and staff of the women’s basketball program.”
RASCOE: Oh, OK. And what about Marta and Marija? What happened to them?
HANEY: So even before they decided to sue, while they were still at USF, the twins’ paths had already begun to diverge.
SANTOS: Marija didn’t play another game for USF after her second visit to the campus counseling center her junior year. Meanwhile, Marta was still playing. And she was playing well.
HANEY: Marija graduated the next year from USF in 2022 with a degree in architecture. Today, she lives in New York City, where she recently got her MFA in interior design. But the last time we talked to her, she still sounded very much in pain.
MARIJA GALIC: It’s definitely something that still impacts me to this day, like, in ways that I couldn’t imagine.
SANTOS: She was visibly shaking as she spoke to us on our video call but said it was important for her to tell her story.
MARIJA GALIC: I want people to know that it’s not just the time you spend there with the coach. It’s just – it’s so many more years after that. And your life changes completely.
SANTOS: Marija says she can’t pick up a basketball anymore.
HANEY: Marta stayed with the USF team, graduating in three years summa cum laude, with a degree in finance. After that, she transferred her eligibility to Tulane in Louisiana. She said it was hard to leave her sister behind.
RASCOE: Well, tell me about Marta’s experience at Tulane.
(SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC)
SANTOS: At Tulane, Marta was elected captain of the basketball team. And she thrived under her new coach.
HANEY: Lisa Stockton had coached there for 30 years. And her teams appeared in postseason tournaments 21 times. Stockton was inducted into the Conference USA Hall of Fame in 2023. And here’s what she told us about her coaching philosophy.
LISA STOCKTON: There’s a difference between challenging someone and pushing them to be successful and being hard on them and being unfair. And I think you’ve got to know the difference in that.
SANTOS: Stockton retired in 2024. She said that most coaches who are still working would likely be hesitant to speak with us.
STOCKTON: I’ve been a player’s coach. But I think right now, it’s a really tough time to be a coach. And I don’t know if that matters in your story. But, you know, when you talk about, are coaches worried about certain things? Yeah. I mean, it’s really hard to do this job where you’re pushing people beyond what they think, you know, their limits, and you’re trying to make them better.
RASCOE: I get that. I mean, it does sound really hard.
SANTOS: And now we’re in a world where college athletes can be compensated for their play, where some have large social media followings and where they can transfer to a new school pretty easily.
STOCKTON: It’s a power dynamic that’s really changed that’s difficult to function with the way it is now.
HANEY: Stockton says this can make it harder to build a positive team culture. But for Marta, Tulane was a great fit.
MARTA GALIC: It was night and day difference, really. Tulane really showed me what it means and what big of a difference it makes to have great people around you, to have great leadership, to have people who care about you, who push you at the same time to be better, to improve, to achieve your potential.
HANEY: Marta told us that her sister watched all of her Tulane games, and that for Marija, it was like seeing a version of herself out there on the court still able to enjoy playing the game that had required so much personal sacrifice.
(SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC)
RASCOE: Elizabeth and Julia, thank you so much for your reporting and shining a light on this subject that I didn’t know much about, and I think that a lot of people probably haven’t really thought about.
