OSU soccer attacking midfielder Grace Yochum was selected 14th overall by Chicago Red Stars FC in the 11th NWSL draft in Philadelphia on Thursday night.
Yochum, one of three Cowgirls in the 2022 class to declare for the draft, joins fellow alumnae Melinda Mercado, AD Franch and Charmé Morgan as the fourth Cowgirl selected in draft history.
A native of Houston, Texas, Yochum’s five-year career in Stillwater was record-setting; she holds program records in both goals (41) and points (91), and was also part of the program’s seventh overall Big 12 Championship-winning team in 2019.
She finished her final season in Stillwater with eight goals, one assist and 17 points on the field, while garnering selections to the All-Big 12 First Team, All-America Second Team and Scholar All-American First Team.
