ORLANDO, Fla. (February 6, 2018) - Orlando Pride has acquired the rights to Brazilian international Poliana Barbosa Medeiros from the Houston Dash in exchange for the Pride’s natural second-round pick in the 2019 National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) College Draft. Following the trade, the Pride signed Poliana to a contract for the 2018 season. Per team and league policies, terms of the contract were not disclosed.
“Poliana is a player that we have admired since she joined the league. We believe she has been one of Houston’s best, most consistent players during that time,” Pride Head Coach Tom Sermanni said.
