The Washington Spirit started to make moves for next year with today’s trade that sent Kristie Mewis to the Chicago Red Stars in exchange for either their natural 1st round draft pick or the Seattle Reign’s first rounders (which Chicago hold), whichever is higher. Mewis joined the Spirit this spring and played a key role in the midfield until the arrival of Mallory Pugh and Estefania Banini. Havana Solaun also emerged as a strong attacking midfielder, Mewis’ main role with the Spirit. As a result of the trade, Mewis was not at the Spirit’s 2-0 loss at North Carolina this past Saturday.
