Marisa Viggiano was drafted by the Orlando Pride in the fourth round (No. 30 overall) of the 2019 NWSL College Draft. The midfielder had a solid college career, making 17 or more appearances in all four seasons, and her 20 assists tied her for fifth most in Northwestern program history.
As we’ve noted before, NWSL drafted players often don’t get many minutes of playing time initially, but with it being a World Cup year, the opportunity was there for a player like Viggiano to make her mark.
So, how did the rookie do in her first year with the Pride?
