Wednesday marked the NWSL Re-Entry Wire date, the deadline by which clubs have to pick up players’ options, extend new contracts or place players on the re-entry wire.
Sky Blue FC has exercised the 2017 options on 16 players from the 2016 roster: goalkeepers Caroline Casey and Caroline Stanleyl; defenders Kristin Grubka, Erin Simon and Erica Skroski; midfielders Kelly Conheeney, Sarah Killion, Taylor Lytle, Raquel Rodriguez and Nikki Stanton; and forwards Kim DeCesare, Leah Galton, Maya Hayes, Tasha Kai, Danielle Schulmann and Catherine Zimmerman.
The team is also finalizing a new contract with Australian international Sam Kerr, while both Kelley O’Hara and Christie Rampone remain on the roster as Federation Players, or players allocated by U.
