Just five picks after their first selection of the day, the Orlando Pride selected Northwestern University midfielder Marisa Viggiano with the third pick of the fourth round. Viggiano had 20 career assists to tie for the second most in Northwestern program history.
“First and foremost I would like to thank the Orlando Pride for drafting me to such an incredible team in an incredible league, among some of the best players in the world,” Viggiano said. “It truly is an honor, so thank you.”
While not the biggest player in the draft at just 5-foot-4, Viggiano was durable, starting in each of her final 83 consecutive matches of her collegiate career.
