Some points of interest:
- As promised by Emma Hayes before the 2010 WPS Draft, Chicago has a good deal of local flair with four players from Illinois and other Midwest college connections.
- Ashley Bowyer (41st overall) and Erin Gunthrie (32nd overall) made FC Gold Pride’s roster as developmental players after being drafted in the later rounds of the draft.
- Gina DiMartino was cut from the Boston Breakers after Boston selected her 56th overall in the 2010 WPS Draft. She then popped up in Philadelphia and Head Coach Paul Riley has kept her on as a developmental player.
- However, the unique story of Dani Collins’ professional career seems to be on hold, for now.
