Tuesday was the roster freeze date for NWSL teams, at which time all contracts became guaranteed and no additional roster moves are permitted.
As part of this process, Seattle Reign FC announced today that two injured players, Yael Averbuch and Kiersten Dallstream, have been moved to the season-ending injury list and will not return to play in the 2018 season.
Averbuch made one appearance for Reign FC, playing the full 90 minutes in Seattle’s mid-April defeat to the North Carolina Courage. As documented on her blog, Averbuch has been dealing with the challenges of an ulcerative colitis flareup.
