Tiger Alums On the Move in NWSL
January 19, 2018 | Women's Soccer
The National Women's Soccer League held its draft Thursday and two Tiger alums are on the move as teams reshaped their rosters.
Diana Matheson '08, who has been a part of every NWSL season, was traded to the first-year Utah Royals from the Seattle Reign. Matheson played the first four NWSL seasons for the Washington Spirit but missed last season with Seattle due to an injury suffered while training with the Canadian national team last February. Matheson, the 2004 Ivy League Rookie of the Year and 2007 Ivy League Player of the Year, was a four-time first-team All-Ivy League honoree and a 2004 first-team All-America. She has competed in four FIFA Women's World Cups and three Olympic Games, winning two bronze medals.
Jen Hoy '13 has also been a part of the NWSL since its first season in 2013 and has spent all five of those seasons with the Chicago Red Stars. Now, the Philadelphia-area native is part of a homecoming trade for her and for two-time FIFA Player of the Year Carli Lloyd, who are among the group heading to Sky Blue FC, which plays in Piscataway, N.J. With Princeton, Hoy was the 2012 Ivy League Player of the Year and a three-time All-Ivy League honoree.
Matheson and Hoy were two of the three Princeton alumnae in the NWSL in 2017 along with Tyler Lussi '17, who won the NWSLÂ title last season with the Portland Thorns.
