USWNT Prospect Catarina Macario Turns Pro, Forgoes Senior Year at Stanford

Catarina Macario's legendary collegiate career is over, though it remains to be seen where she will commence her next chapter.

The U.S. women's national team prospect and Stanford standout announced she is forgoing her senior year with the Cardinal to turn pro, news that is of added interest now because the NWSL draft is on Wednesday. In her announcement, Macario did not mention NWSL, nor did she specify plans to go abroad.

Macario won the Hermann Trophy as the nation's best player in 2018 and 2019 and tallied 63 goals and 47 assists in 68 NCAA matches.
