The Expansion Draft for new NWSL club Racing Louisville FC takes place tonight, starting at 4 PM PT on the NWSL Twitch channel. Louisville has the opportunity to add up to 16 players to their roster, with a maximum of two unprotected players chosen from each current team except Chicago, who traded Racing several star players and other assets in exchange for draft protection.
The following OL Reign players (and players for whom the Reign still control NWSL playing rights) are available for selection by Louisville:
Current roster: Morgan Andrews, Julia Ashley, Michelle Betos, Meg Brandt (College Protected), Stephanie Cox, Shirley Cruz (International), Machaela George, Madison Hammond, Sam Hiatt (College Protected), Kelcie Hedge, Celia Jimenez Delgado (International), Quinn (International), Megan Rapinoe (US Allocated), Taylor Smith, Jasmyne Spencer, Danielle Weatherholt, Rosie White (International)
Former Reign players: Mariah Bullock, Steph Catley, Kiersten Dallstream, Schuyler DeBree, Adrienne Jordan, Alyssa Kleiner, Theresa Nielsen, Morgan Proffitt, Jodie Taylor, Rumi Utsugi, Abby Wambach, Lydia Williams, Beverly Yanez
Should Megan Rapinoe be picked, no other Reign players can be selected and the team would receive $75,000 in allocation money in compensation.
