On a slow Monday, the Portland Thorns broke the news that defender Madison Pogarch has been traded to San Diego Wave FC, in exchange for defender Tegan McGrady.
Madison Pogarch, or Po as she likes to be called, joined the club in May 2019 after not going undrafted. The Rutgers alumni joined the preseason camp that year, showing off some of her qualities such as her speed and good defensive work.
Another of Po's top moments with Portland: When she got into Usain Po mode and ran at 19 mph (30 km/h, according to The 18 Fútbol) to go back to defense in the quarter finals of the Challenge Cup 2020 after taking a corner.
