The Orlando Pride took a big step toward the team’s rebuild by signing 2021 draft selection and 2022 MAC Hermann Trophy finalist Mikayla Cluff (née Colohan) to a two-year contract. The BYU star midfielder returned to finish her collegiate career rather than joining the Pride last season and helped her team reach the College Cup, where the Cougars lost to Florida State in a penalty shootout to finish second.
The Pride made Cluff the fourth pick in the second round (No. 14 overall) in the 2021 NWSL Draft.
