Between the NWSL College Draft, Heather O’Reilly leaving the NWSL, and other trades, it was a busy week for women’s soccer. Last Thursday, the Boston Breakers dominated the first round but FC Kansas City and Sky Blue FC made some of the best picks. Later in the week, O’Reilly signed an 18-month contract with Arsenal Ladies FC.

Boston used its No. 1 overall pick to select Rose Lavelle, a Wisconsin midfielder who is currently in training camp with the U.S. women’s national team. With the third pick, the Breakers added Morgan Andrews, who recently won the NCAA title with University of Southern California.
