With a successful close to the 2024 WPSL Season, FIERCE players had several reasons to celebrate. The team - composed of FIERCE's top HS and alumni players - finished third out of seven teams in their conference. Their placement was not only an improvement from the previous season, but also an incredible feat considering FIERCE players regularly competed against teams with NCAA DI athletes.
Another cause for celebration was that through their participation, FIERCE players joined a prestigious list of players that have competed in the WPSL. According to the WPSL, "notable alumnae who’ve honed their talents in the WPSL include NCAA All-Americans, MAC Hermann Trophy recipients, Hall of Fame Inductees, Olympic Medalists, World Cup Winners, NWSL Champions, and Ballon d’Or recipients." The impressive group includes players like Brandi Chastain, Alex Morgan, Megan Rapinoe, and current Olympic Gold hopeful Rose Lavelle.
The WPSL also has a proven track record for developing players to excel them to the next level. In the past five drafts for the NWSL - the highest tier for professional soccer in the US - 109 former WPSL players were selected. Out of all players on the NWSL Preseason Rosters, 40% had competed in the WPSL!
FIERCE is proud to offer players access to an elite platform that consistently catapults players to the highest levels of soccer. With the club entering its 24-25 season, FIERCE eagerly awaits the continual growth of its players and the way they will continue to improve in next summer's WPSL season!
