Boyds, Md. (Jan. 10, 2019) – As part of a trade announced earlier today, the Washington Spirit will send defenders Caprice Dydasco and Estelle Johnson, and goalkeeper DiDi Haracic to Sky Blue FC.
In return for the three players and the No. 29 selection in Thursday’s NWSL College Draft, the Spirit received the No. 3 overall pick from Sky Blue FC. With the pick, Washington selected Stanford University midfielder Jordan DiBiasi.
“Caprice, DiDi and Estelle have made so many incredible contributions to our club over the years and we couldn’t be more thankful,” said Spirit general manager, Chris Hummer. “Decisions like this are never easy, and we’ll always remember them for their professionalism and outstanding impact on the field and in the community. We wish them the best of luck going forward.”
