San Diego Wave FC’s Stoney: We’re keeping top pick in Saturday’s NWSL Draft

Getting used to the particularities of the NWSL is always a process for new coaches to the league. But for San Diego Wave FC’s Casey Stoney, she feels ready to jump in.

And by the way, San Diego have no plan to trade the No. 1 overall NWSL Draft pick on Saturday.

Stoney spoke to reporters on Friday following the conclusion of Thursday’s NWSL expansion draft and before Saturday’s college draft, and admitted the crash course in scouting NCAA soccer has been a process.

“I’ll be really honest and transparent — back in kind of July time when I started this process, and I started on the college drafts and it was something that I wanted to invest in, it was an utter minefield, you know?
