2023 NWSL Draft: What you need to know about every Washington Spirit selection

The Washington Spirit entered the draft with a lot of work to do and exited the draft with a lot of work still to be done. A team notorious for pulling off big moves to obtain higher picks (albeit under different management and leadership) sat out the first two rounds. But in the third the Spirit came alive.

Entering the draft Washington only had two picks (#26, #37 overall) but by the end of the draft they’d secured six players. With only twelve selections per round, my rudimentary math skills inform me that the Spirit made a quarter of the selections in the third and fourth rounds.
