Washington Spirit trim 2019 preseason roster down to 26

The Washington Spirit reduced their preseason roster down to 26 players today, with several trialists being let go. The only addition to the squad is Kelsey Wys, who spent four seasons with the Spirit and started in the 2016 NWSL Championship final. Wys was waived back in January and was said to be pursuing opportunities in Europe, but is now looking to secure a place on the Spirit’s 2019 roster.

No players under contract were let go, but 8 trialists have departed camp. Those players are goalkeepers Sammy Jo Prudhomme and Rachel Boaz; defenders Meghan Cox, Jessica Davis, and Jackie Simpson; and forwards MyKayla Brown, Georgie Cloepfil, and Lana Spitler.
