Laura Harvey strikes again.
Seattle Reign FC has acquired Canadian International midfielder Diana Matheson from the Washington Spirit in exchange for the rights to midfielder Arielle Ship, who was the 26th pick in the 2017 NWSL College Draft. The Spirit also get Seattle’s natural third-round pick in the 2018 Draft.
It’s a move that will likely outrage most Washington Spirit fans, as Matheson has been a team leader and creative attacking force for both the Spirit and the Canadian National Team.
During her 67 appearances with the Spirit, Matheson scored 23 goals and assisted on 12 others, both club career records.
