Taylor Hansen was part of San Diego Wave FC’s enormous rookie class in 2022, and did her part along the way.
The undrafted defender, coming out of the University of Montana, was a trialist in preseason and did enough to earn a contract with the expansion team. The first from her school to make it to the NWSL, she made history for the Grizzlies when she started against OL Reign in the road Challenge Cup game in Washington in April.
Starting at left back for the match, Hansen featured for over an hour on her professional debut.
