KANSAS CITY, Kan. (BVM) – On Dec. 18 the 2022 NWSL Draft got underway and with the seventh pick in the draft, the Kansas City Current selected Elyse Bennett from Washington State University.
“I had an idea,” Bennett said. “I was in talks with a couple of teams throughout the draft process, just leading up to it but you just never know what is going to happen on the actual draft day. I wasn’t 100% sure on where I was going to land but I had a pretty good idea so I was excited when my name got called and I was going to Kansas City.
