— -- Your look at the five biggest and most buzz-worthy stories of the morning.

1. 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup

While women's soccer doesn't generally get a lot of attention, fans do get excited when the World Cup rolls around every four years.

The Women's World Cup, which kicks off Saturday in Canada, features the United States and 23 other teams vying to be the best team on the planet. The United States, World Cup champions in 1991 and 1999 (those were the days of Mia Hamm and Brandi Chastain), are hoping to add a third title to its trophy case.

2. Murdered Kentucky Lawyer's Ex Says Shayna Hubers' Sentencing Made Her 'Sick to My Stomach'

When the ex-girlfriend of a murdered Kentucky lawyer, Ryan Poston, heard the recommended 40-year prison sentence for his killer, she was stunned.

“Well, it made me sick to my stomach," Lauren Worley told ABC News' "20/20" in an exclusive interview. "Maybe it’s traditional, old-school mentality, but if you kill someone, then you know, it’s eye for an eye. And what you do unto others should be done unto you.

“She just wanted to take out Ryan and take out everyone that was involved in his life. She blamed everybody but herself," Worley, 28, said of Shayna Hubers, the woman convicted of murdering Poston on Oct. 12, 2012.

3. FDA Panel Votes to Approve 'Female Viagra' With Conditions After Third Hearing

An expert panel for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration voted to approve a drug that has been dubbed the "female Viagra" after two previous attempts failed to gain approval.

The FDA is set to make a final decision in August, and while the agency generally follows to the panelists' vote, it is not bound to adhere to it.

Medical experts from the FDA examined the evidence on the effectiveness of the drug flibanserin, designed to help pre-menopausal women with Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD).

4. Key Findings From 22 Hours of James Holmes Psychiatric Evaluation Interviews

The jury in the Aurora, Colorado theater shooting trial slowly stood from their chairs and walked out of the courtroom Thursday afternoon, likely happy for a break.

They had just finished watching 22 hours of video interviews of James Holmes talking to court-appointed psychiatrist Dr. William Reid. The viewing took five days, and since the defendant will likely not testify, it is the only time the five-man, 19-woman jury will hear from him. It's Reid's job to assess the accused gunman's state of mind the night of July 19 to July 20, 2012, when Holmes drove his car to the premiere of “The Dark Knight Rises,” changed into battle gear, and opened fire on moviegoers out for the midnight showing.

5. 'World's Most Endangered' Turtle, Over 100 Years Old, Could Be Mom Soon

Scientists are "holding their breath" as they anxiously await a female Yangtze giant softshell turtle to lay her eggs in Suzhou Zoo in China, according to wildlife conservationists.

The turtle, believed to be over 100 years old, is the last known female of her species, Rafetus swinhoei, according to the Wildlife Conservation Society, which also noted that she was recently artificially inseminated using the sperm of the last known male in China because he had "damaged sex organs."

The "world's most endangered turtle" is expected to lay eggs within a few weeks, and only then will scientists know if the artificial insemination was successful, depending on whether the eggs are viable, according to the WCS.
