"All of our Angel City players are exceptional and will always be able to hold the badge of being a part of this organization and making history together," said Angel City General Manager Angela Hucles Mangano. "As we head into our sophomore season, we are excited by the opportunity that's in front of us, and the challenge of new goals to meet."

The contracts for rookies Hope Breslin and Miri Taylor, as well as international recruits Almuth Schult and Steffany Ferrer Van Ginkel, have not been renewed. In addition, Katie Cousins' contract has been waived.

In addition, Goalkeeper Maia Pérez has opted to retire from soccer and will not return to the club next season.
