Heres what the Soccer Saturday pundit is predicting in Wednesdays domestic double-header...West Ham v Manchester United (FA Cup quarter-final replay) Dimitri Payet scored a stunning free-kick at Old Trafford I fancied West Ham before the weekend and Ive got no reason to change my mind. If United think they played well at Spurs, with one shot on target, they dont know much about winning football matches.Andy Carroll was brilliant against Arsenal but I really dont know why people are on the Euros bandwagon after one performance, although hell be relishing going up against Chris Smalling and Daley Blind.United have never enjoyed going to West Ham, even under Sir Alex Ferguson, so Im going to back the home side, with Payet relishing the big game again.Charlie predicts: 2-0 and Payet to score first (60/1 with Sky Bet)Crystal Palace v Everton (Premier League) Scott Dann found the net when Palace drew at Goodison Park Well, were obviously well aware of the Everton situation and Roberto Martinez cant hide from the fact that this gifted team are underachieving.This club has to focus everything on the FA Cup semi-final, although the fans demands mean Martinez cant take his foot off the gas in the league unless he doesnt mind seeing more banners. Roberto Martinez understands why Evertons fans are unhappy with their recent form. Palace got their win at the weekend which means they can relax again and I think, with Everton focusing on the cup, they will win again.Charlie predicts: 2-1 (9/1 with Sky Bet)Follow this weeks action with live blogs on skysports.com and the Sky Sports apps.Also See:West Ham v Man Utd previewC Palace v Everton previewChristian Vazquez Jersey .

Only one Ivy League womens basketball player had gone to the WNBA and that was 15 years ago.Never in a million years, Dietrick said laughing in a phone interview with The Associated Press on Friday. Freshman year I was planning to major in econ, work on Wall Street -- as is the career path of many a Princeton student. Instead, here I am.The San Antonio guards road to the WNBA took an extra year. She got cut last season from both Washington and Los Angeles training camps after graduating from college. Undeterred, she played in Italy for Orvieto. She averaged 15.5 points in a league that featured WNBA players. It gave her confidence and showed her that she could play with the best in the world.Last year I was nervous, never had played at that level before, she said. That was disappointing to feel that way. To be given another chance was amazing.This spring, she got the invite to Seattles training camp and was the last player to make the team.It was awesome just to hear that they believed in me and believed I could play at this level, Dietrick said. It was really fulfilling.Playing in Seattle also gave the Boston native a chance to play with Sue Bird, who she idolized growing up. When Dietrick was younger she would often watch UConn games and attend the schools youth camps.I was little star struck at first, Dietrick said of sharing the court with Bird. She was a great teammate off the court. It was a nice first experience.Bird was impressed with the young guard.Blakes done a really good job. Shes really strong, Bird said. Shes got really good size and strength and is fundamentally sound. Shes really smart. You dont have to tell Blake to do things more than once.She played in two games with the Storm before getting cut on June 25, scoring two points. She laughed recalling her first game.I was more like dont mess up, dont mess up, she said. I was super happy, it was a great experience to get on the floor. Indianas a louud arena.dddddddddddd Im back at the beginning. Worked my way up through college. Started back at square one again.Now shes on a new team as San Antonio signed her to a 7-day contract on Tuesday. The Stars played her former team Friday night.Watching Blakes career, I have always admired the intelligence and the toughness, San Antonio coach Dan Hughes said. She is definitely a Jersey girl. I love that combination. It has been really great to put her with the Stars and get a chance to look at her on a daily basis.San Antonio visits New York this weekend bringing Dietrick close to Princeton. Unfortunately her college coaches wont be able to take in Sundays game because they are out recruiting. Theyll be watching from afar.Its such a bummer, Princeton coach Courtney Banghart said of having to miss her former star play. The WNBA wasnt on my radar for her at all when she first got here. But by the time she left I knew theres no way that this kid couldnt help a team in that league.Banghart did get to see Dietrick last week when she came by the Tigers basketball camp. The guard, who helped Princeton to a 30-0 regular season record her senior year and an NCAA Tournament victory was home. She signed autographs for 1 1/2 hours after camp ended, posing for photos and encouraging the young girls who two years earlier had been cheering for her from the stands.Honestly, it makes me so humbled, Dietrick said of the attention she got. I see how Sue and Breanna (Stewart) and all those people have to sign autgoraphs for hours on end. Its crazy how many people look up to them, and are honored to be in their presence. For a small group of people to feel that way about me is sweet. It was a really great experience.Now she hopes to stick with the Stars for the remainder of the season. San Antonio just lost guard Kayla McBride for the year with a fractured foot.I would love to be here the rest of the summer, Dietrick said.Even if she doesnt last, Dietrick will always have great memories.
