It’s Thursday, July 23, and SPORTS. ARE. BACK.
...except that it’s been back. For some time now, in fact. The NWSL restarted their league back at the end of June as the first professional league in the US to be back in business. That’s why we’re so excited that this week’s Throwback Thursday features 2020 Virginia Soccer alumna Courtney Petersen, who was drafted earlier this year by the Orlando Pride.
Because Pride had five positive COVID-19 cases, they withdrew from the NWSL’s Challenge Cup, where Courtney was expected to make her professional debut.
