The Washington Spirit today announced their list of protected players ahead of next week’s NWSL Expansion Draft. Racing Louisville, who recently added former Spirit attacker Cheyna Matthews via the Re-Entry Wire, will have the opportunity to select up to two players from the other teams around the league next Thursday at 7:00pm.
The Spirit’s list of protected players, in alphabetical order, is as follows:
- Dorian Bailey
- Aubrey Bledsoe
- Jordan DiBiasi
- Bayley Feist
- Ashley Hatch
- Tegan McGrady
- Paige Nielsen
- Ashley Sanchez
- Sam Staab
- Andi Sullivan
There were not many surprises on Washington’s list, as the core of Richie Burke’s roster has been pretty clear for some time now.
