Welcome to the first of a weekly women’s soccer recap. During this offseason, this weekly post will concentrate on recent women’s soccer news, with particular focus on the Washington Spirit.
KRIEGER LEAVES DC
The Washington Spirit confirmed last week that the team traded franchise player Ali Krieger to the Orlando Pride, as first reported by Equalizer Soccer’s Dan Lauletta. In return, the Spirit swapped places with the Pride in the league’s Allocation Ranking Order.
The danger of this trade for Spirit fans is not just the harm of losing a star defender but rather this not being the only loss of a veteran player during this offseason.
