Following a weekend rife with speculation, the Chicago Red Stars have signed winger Kristie Mewis from the Washington Spirit.
In exchange, the Spirit pick up a conditional first-round pick in the 2018 NWSL College Draft.
In order to make room on the roster, the Red Stars have also waived midfielder Morgan Proffitt.
The rumors surrounding the Mewis trade started on Saturday morning and spread through WoSo Twitter quickly.
Mewis arrived in Washington prior to the 2017 season as she was traded from her hometown club Boston Breakers. In 14 matches with the Breakers, Mewis had one goal and one assist.
