LOCKED IN: 8 Players from the 2019 Team, Re-Signed

NYGL’s General Manager, Eileen Murray, & Director of Coaching, Izzy Bryant, announced today that 8 members of the 2019 roster have resigned for the 2020 season. 

Murray, Bryant, and Coach Zara Cadoux have been in negotiations with these 8 players since mid-November 2019. Days before the NYGL tryouts, all 8 players accepted the terms of their contracts. These players will serve as the foundation of the 2020 roster and will play a key role in establishing and communicating the team culture.

This group of players includes the 2019 Captains, Cassie Wong and Tulsa Douglas of Boston Brute Squad, Linda Morse and Andrea DeSabato of Philly Amp, Amy Zhou of DC Scandal, Kelly Hyland of DC Space Heater, and Lauren Woods and Stazi Tangherlini of NY BENT.

NYGL is intentional in its approach to the workings of our organization -- the goal of these early signings is to uplift and give visibility to pro womxn athletes. These 8 athletes represent some of the best in our sport. They are solid competitors who will leave it all on the field and just as important is the alignment of their goals and values with those of NYGL. The second season of NYGL is already looking bright.

NYGL has big plans for 2020. Once tryouts are over and the roster is set, we will start sharing the partnerships we are building in our community beyond ultimate.
