Following the formation of a new collective bargaining agreement with the NWSL Players Association, the NWSL shifted from a traditional draft format to a free agency period prior to the season. Here is the list of all former Duke women’s soccer players to sign deals at the next level.
The Blue Devils, under the guidance of veteran head coach Robbie Church in his 24th and final season, won the ACC regular-season championship with an undefeated 9-0-1 conference record, finishing the year at 18-3-1 overall. For the first time in 32 years, they were ranked No. 1 entering the NCAA championship.
They say all good things come to an end; No. 1 Duke’s historic fairytale season (18-3-1, 9-0-1 in the ACC) finally closed its curtains. A bitter 3-0 loss to archrivals North Carolina (21-5, 7-3 in the ACC) on a cold winter night meant Church ended his final season in an heartbreaking fashion. Leading his last team to this fourth Final Four appearances in his 24 years at the helm, the legendary Church will retire as the winningest coach in Duke’s history, falling just shy of 400 career wins.
