And while the team was enjoying the plaudits in LA, burglars struck, stealing items from her room at the Ritz Carlton hotel in the city
The taken items included a key to New York City, presented to Long by Mayor of New York Bill de Blasio, as well as an unspecified amount of cash and her wedding ring.
Long broke the news via her Twitter account, tweeting: "After the @ESPYS show someone stole my wedding ring, cash and the key to my favorite city after just receiving it from my hotel room. Do you make copies @NYCMayor? I would love a new one."

She received a reply from de Blasio, who said he'd happily replace the key.
"So sorry to hear it, Allie," he tweeted. "Hang in there. Dont worry about the key. Like any good New Yorker, we keep a spare for our neighbors! We got you covered."
