The Spirit traded U.S. national team defender Emily Sonnett to OL Reign for a third-round pick Thursday and a first-round pick in 2024. Sonnett had spent the past two seasons in Washington, winning a title with the team in 2021.
New Spirit coach Mark Parsons said the trade came about as the team sought to rebalance its roster ahead of the World Cup, which will take national team players such as Sonnett away from their club sides for an extended period this summer.
“The timing could be better. … but what we knew and felt from OL Reign was they really believed and were invested in this, and they were going to give Emily the opportunity she deserves,” he said. “We have some big needs in other areas, and we’re working very successfully on other areas in the back line that we [need to] fill.”The Spirit had no natural picks until the third round of the draft. With its first selection at No.
“I’m hoping I can bring that attacking ability, my dribbling skills and obviously scoring goals,” Douglas said. “I just hope that I can achieve as much as I did in college and help the Washington Spirit as much as possible.”, finishing the third round by acquiring three picks for cash and draft spots. The Spirit added Gonzaga goalkeeper Lyza Bosselman, Alabama forward/midfielder Riley Tanner and Long Beach State forward Lena Silano through those trades.
