The National Women’s Soccer League’s (NWSL) off-season has been plagued by player departures, and Sky Blue FC has not made it out of the off-season unscathed.
In a statement released by the team on Feb. 9, midfielder Hayley McCall announced her retirement from professional soccer.
"I am certainly going to miss the entire Sky Blue FC organization, including the amazing fans, the dedicated staff, the coaches, and of course, my friends and teammates," McCall said.
Although no reason was cited, it was noted that McCall got married in the off-season, which may have been a factor in her decision to retire.
