The Houston Dash selected three players—Cari Roccaro, Rachel Daly, and Janine Beckie—with three first round picks in the 2016 NWSL College Draft at the Baltimore Convention Center on Friday.
With the fifth overall pick, the Dash selected University of Notre Dame defender Cari Roccaro. Roccaro was a four-year letterwinner for the Irish, and was a member of the United States' 2012 U-20 Women's World Cup-winning side along with current Dash players Morgan Brian, Kealia Ohai and Chioma Ubogagu.
St. John's University forward Rachel Daly was selected with the sixth overall pick. Daly led the nation in scoring with 23 goals in 2013, and was an NSCAA First Team All-American in 2015.
