Morristown, N.J. - Sky Blue FC midfielder Katy Freels announced today that she has made the decision to sit out the 2016 National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) season.

"We want to thank Katy for all of her contributions over the past three years," said Christy Holly, Sky Blue FC head coach. "We have been very fortunate to have such a talented player here with us at Sky Blue FC and giving us her full dedication. We understand and respect how difficult it can be for a player to spend so much time away from her family, and we know this was not an easy decision for Katy. On behalf of myself and the entire Sky Blue FC organization, we want to wish Katy and her family nothing but the best."
