Sky Blue FC announced today that defender Christie Pearce will miss the remainder of the 2017 National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) season due to accumulative injuries.
“I’ve always had a really good awareness of my body and the ability to recover,” Pearce said in a team press release. “I feel that I started the season off strong, but I’ve been consistently fighting through injuries, and I’m not able to give to the team what I consider to be my 100%. This decision, while it is hard to swallow, I know is the right thing for me and the team because I just can’t leave it all on the field every day.
