ORLANDO, Fla. (January 19, 2017) – Orlando Pride added another top international talent today, acquiring Australia Women’s National Team defender Alanna Kennedy in a trade with the recently relocated North Carolina Courage. In exchange, the Courage, formerly the Western New York Flash, received midfielder Sam Witteman.
“Firstly, Sam has been a fantastic player and a great teammate with wonderful character. She will be missed both on and off the field and we are very sad to see her leave the Club. We wish her the best of luck in North Carolina,” Pride Head Coach Tom Sermanni said.
