The Orlando Pride sent Marisa Viggiano to the Houston Dash in exchange for Megan Montefusco, $30,000 of Allocation Money, and OL Reign’s natural third-round pick in the 2023 NWSL Draft prior to the 2022 season. The Naperville, IL native signed a two-year contract through 2023 with a one-year option into 2024.
Montefusco was brought in to shore up a back line desperately in need of reinforcements. She immediately won the starting job, and played all but one of the 2022 Challenge Cup matches, and only missed one match in the regular season while serving a yellow card accumulation suspension.
