With the 28th overall pick, the Houston Dash selected Virginia forward Veronica Latsko in the third round of the 2018 NWSL draft. Alongside fellow draftee Kimberly Keever, Latsko joins a deep Dash attack led by new addition Christen Press, Kealia Ohai, and Rachel Daly.
Latsko steadily improved in each season at Virginia culminating with five game-winning goals and first-team All-ACC honors in 2017. She finished her collegiate career with 26 goals and 14 assists for a total of 66 points in 93 appearances.
The Venetia, Pa. native is the 12th player in the program's history to be taken in the NWSL Draft.
