The Orlando Pride will have to come up with a Plan B after losing top draft pick Mia Fishel to Tigres Femenil. The Mexican side announced the signing today.
Fishel, who is part of the January U-23 USWNT camp, was the Pride’s first selection (No. 5 overall) in the 2022 NWSL Draft. With Fishel’s college coach, Amanda Cromwell, now in charge in Orlando, it seemed a natural fit. Cromwell obviously knows what Fishel can do and how she works within her system.
However, the club released a statement to some members of the media that the Pride were unable to come to terms with the player.
