After OL Reign lost two players — Dani Weatherholt and Kristen McNabb — in the NWSL Expansion Draft, they can now give a chance to young, promising players in the NWSL College Draft. The draft begins Saturday at 11 AM PT, with the Reign having the 8th and 10th overall pick — in addition to many others in later rounds.
At the start of the draft, OL Reign announced two trades. They sent their first-round 2023 pick and $40,000 in allocation money to Gotham FC in exchange for the 8th pick in the draft.
