ORLANDO, Fla. (March 21, 2018) - Orlando Pride acquires Swedish defender Lotta Ökvist from the Houston Dash in exchange for the Pride’s natural third-round pick in the 2019 NWSL College Draft.
As former member of the Boston Breakers and a 2018 NWSL Dispersal Draft selection, Ökvist will not count against the Pride salary cap or roster maximum for the 2018 season. In addition, Ökvist’s international roster spot will transfer with her to the Pride. More information on her roster status can be found here.
“We’re very happy to bring another young, left-footed and versatile player to the Pride,” Head Coach Tom Sermanni said.
