When the Chicago Red Stars announced their blockbuster trade with Sky Blue (now Gotham) FC on January 21st, it was the acquisition of USWNT forward Mallory Pugh that grabbed the headlines. While Pugh’s arrival has brought a mixture of excitement about her potential and concern about her injury record, she isn’t the player from that trade who has prompted the most debate among Chicago fans.
That would be Sarah Woldmoe, a six-year National Women’s Soccer League veteran and Sky Blue’s captain. Woldmoe plays in midfield, usually either as a 6 or an 8.
