Earlier this week, it was announced that the Chicago Red Stars had traded Katie Naughton and the 18th pick of the NWSL Draft for Kealia Ohai of the Houston Dash.
The Red Stars previously finalized a trade with the North Carolina Courage that would send Chicago’s 6th overall pick to NC for the 9th and the 18th, the latter then used as a part of the Ohai trade — as a quick note before going into the trade and its ramifications, the Chicago Red Stars still have four first-round picks (4th, 5th, 8th, 9th).
