Dani Weatherholt was a nonstop workhorse in 2018. This top-class work ethic made her a favorite of former Head Coach Tom Sermanni, helping the 24-year-old to a team-high 23 appearances (tied with Shelina Zadorsky). The sole game that Weatherholt did not play in was the Orlando Pride’s 1-0 win over the Washington Spirit back on June 23 — the midfielder had an excused absence and most likely would’ve played had she been with the team.
The Pride used the 31st overall pick in the 2016 NWSL College Draft by selecting Weatherholt.
