The Washington Spirit selected defender/forward Natalie Jacobs (USC), midfielder Averie Collins (Washington State), and forward Katie McClure (Kansas) in the 2020 NWSL College Draft.
Forward Cheyna Matthews was selected of the 2020 Re-Entry Wire by expansion team Racing Louisville FC.
English Internationals Tinaya Alexander and Lucy Shepherd were shocked and surprised to be drafted by the Washington Spirit. Now, the two are settling in and playing with established World Cup winners, some of the nation’s top young players, and a team that had just won its first championship.
