Preseason began Monday for 10 NWSL teams including the league’s newest entry, Orlando Pride. For some, as detailed by Steven Goff in the Washington Post, the day was a welcome distraction in the aftermath of a horrendous fire that destroyed a home and several cars but left all of the people and animals unharmed. (Britt Eckerstrom of the Flash trained with her club as well.)

Below are the 10 preseason rosters as released by the individual clubs throughout the day Monday. With a few exceptions they are posted exactly as released. We have added Caroline Stanley after releasing a preseason roster that did not include her. In Chicago, the Red Stars did not include Brittany Bock and Ashleigh Ellenwood who are recovering from injuries, or Candace Johnson who is finishing her degree abroad before joining the club.

This story has been updated to include Lady Andrade on the Flash roster. The club accidentally left her out of their initial roster we used here.
