On Tuesday, we reported that Julie Ertz, Danielle Colaprico and Sofia Huerta were honored by the National Women’s Soccer League when they picked up Second XI honors.
The good news continued on Thursday when defender Casey Short and forward Christen Press were named to the NWSL Best XI.
As was the case with the Second XI, the Best XI is voted on by club officials, players, media, and fans.
Casey Short enjoyed a productive 2017 campaign as she was a leader for the Chicago Red Star defense. Chicago finished with the third best defense in the league, and Short was a Defender of the Year finalist.
