CARY, NC - The North Carolina Courage have traded Abby Dahlkemper to San Diego Wave FC in exchange for $190,000 in allocation money and San Diego's natural first round draft pick in 2023, the club announced today. In August, North Carolina traded Dahlkemper to the Houston Dash for the remainder of the 2021 season for $25,000 in allocation money as the first part of the three-way trade.
Prior to the trade with Houston, Dahlkemper had been playing for Manchester City in the FA Women's Super League since signing with the club in January of 2021. While with City, Dahlkemper appeared in eight league matches and four Champions League games. Prior to her time overseas, Dahlkemper played for the NC Courage for five NWSL seasons, plus the 2020 Fall Series. Throughout her time with the club, she won three NWSL Shields and three NWSL Championships, including the 2016 NWSL Championship with the Western New York Flash before the team relocated to Cary, NC.
"Abby has played a massive role in the history of this club," President and GM Curt Johnson said. "We are so grateful to her for the contributions she made and for her dedication throughout her six seasons here. She is an incredible player and I look forward to seeing all she accomplishes in the next chapter of her career."
