The Houston Dash announced today that they had traded Morgan Brian to the Chicago Red Stars in exchange for midfielder Kristie Mewis and undisclosed future considerations. Brian, the former number 1 pick of the 2015 NWSL Draft had flourished as a player that was adept at relieving pressure for players ahead of her and for calmly distributing the ball from deep in the midfield, but injuries have held her back at both the club and international level.
Mewis is a midfielder capable of playing out wide up the field as a winger or deployed as a defensive wingback.
