As NWSL preseason kicks off, three of its players are being forced to focus on much more than just soccer.
The Washington Spirit's Tori Huster and Tiffany Weimer, along with Western New York Flash draftee Britt Eckerstrom, were staying with Eckerstrom's parents, who had volunteered to be a host family to Huster and Weimer. Eckerstrom had everything she needed for the season packed up in her car so she could head out when an overnight house fire catastrophically destroyed the players' belongings and their cars. Fortunately, all three players and the Eckerstroms themselves were able to get out of the house and survived the fire.
