Both Haley Carter and Michele Kang told me that they are "working with the league on solutions that allow us to retain" Trinity Rodman.

Carter's first day with the Spirit was Monday, and a resolution on Rodman is relatively imminent.

Haley Carter, who helped the Orlando Pride win the 2024 #NWSL Shield and Championship as VP/sporting director, is the Washington Spirit’s new president of soccer operations. In her expanded role, she will lead other leaders, which is “where the magic happens,” she told ESPN. Why she made the move 👇

Big Spirit announcement this morning. As soon as news broke that she was leaving Orlando, where Haley Carter would end up immediately became one of the big stories of the NWSL offseason.

Nathan Minion, who was interim GM after Mark Krikorian stepped down, becomes permanent GM.
Thrilled to announce the addition of Haley Carter as our new President of Soccer Operations! 🤗

Welcome to D.C., Haley! 💪 #RiseUp

Also, last night while we were prepping the Haley Carter news, I ended up rereading this interview between @thrace.bsky.social and @hccarter.bsky.social when she joined Orlando in January 2023. Just a ridiculous execution of the vision.

It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

Bergen Reilly wins the Big Ten Player of the Year award. She helped the Huskers hit .352, which is on track to be a school record.

Reilly is the first setter since 2018 to win it and the first Nebraska player since OH Kelsey Robinson in 2013.

I don't know if there's someone new directing the WNT broadcast or of they're just really getting to know the players, but the moments they've chosen to show in slow-mo on replay today have been A+

Louisville announced today that Bethany Balcer is heading to free agency.

The Howell trade keeps getting worse... I hope whoever made that deal wasn't recently promoted into one of the most sought-after GM roles in the NWSL... what's that?

as someone who spent a lot of time in the trenches insisting that the player pool had more than 15-18 players worthy of the national team, this is satisfying

Kickoff coming up in less than an hour!

Girma wears the captain armband for the 4th time this year, and NWSL Championship MVP Lavelle is starting, along with fellow Gotham champs Reale & Sonnett.

Dickey gets the start in goal — she's the only NWSL keeper who played every minute of the 2025 season.
