KANSAS CITY, MO (October 23, 2015) - FC Kansas City announced today that the club has acquired the Orlando Pride's second-round pick in the 2017 National Women's Soccer League College Draft. In exchange, the Blues will send the rights to forward Sarah Hagen and a second-round (No. 15 overall) selection in the 2016 NWSL College Draft to the Pride.

After two seasons with FC Kansas City, Hagen, 25, helped the Blues win back-to-back titles recording a total of eight goals and three assists between the 2014 and 2015 campaigns.
