Just over a month out from the women’s college soccer national championship, the top players in the nation were selected to start their professional careers in the NWSL. The 2019 NWSL Draft was held in Chicago with the first pick going to the Chicago Red Stars.

Stanford, which fell to current national champion Florida State in the semifinals, claimed more first-round picks than any other program — three total, including Tierna Davidson as the first overall pick.
