The Orlando Pride signed defenders Courtney Petersen and Konya Plummer, two of the team’s top 2020 NWSL draft selections. Both players signed two-year contracts with an option for a third year, a variance from the typical two-year contracts signed by NWSL players in the past.
The team selected Petersen with the No. 7 pick and Plummer with the No. 10 pick in the first round of the draft. The pair represents two of the total four defenders the Pride selected in this year’s draft.
No. 3 overall pick Taylor Kornieck had already signed a one-year contract with an additional one-year option earlier in February.
