Boyds, MD (March 19, 2018) – The Washington Spirit has announced its updated roster ahead of the 2018 National Women’s Soccer League regular season.
Washington brings 23 players into the 2018 regular season, three of which will not be counted against the active roster for all or part of the year.
Midfielder Rose Lavelle is exempt from counting against the active roster limit due to being acquired via the NWSL Dispersal Draft; forward Arielle Ship opens the season on the 45-Day Disabled List; and forward Cheyna Matthews will miss the season due to maternity.
In addition to the official roster below, Washington retains the NWSL rights to 2018 College Draft picks Schuyler DeBree, Brittany Basinger, Mallory Eubanks, Maddie Huster and Rachel Moore, along with Dispersal Draft pick Elizabeth Wenger.
The Spirit enters the season with four Federation Players: defender/midfielder Rebecca Quinn (CAN), defender Taylor Smith (USA), Lavelle (USA) and forward Mallory Pugh (USA).
Washington also returns three international players, including midfielder Yanara Aedo (Chile), midfielder Estefanía Banini (Argentina) and forward Francisca Ordega (Nigeria).
Washington will travel to the West Coast for a match-up with Seattle Reign FC on March 24, in the club’s NWSL regular season opener. Kickoff in Seattle is set for 10 p.m. ET.
Single game tickets for the Spirit’s regular season home games, including their March 31 home opener against the Orlando Pride, are available now at Tickets.WashingtonSpirit.com or by calling the club’s ticket office at 301-591-0927.
