Angel City Football Club selected Alyssa Thompson with the No. 1 overall pick in Thursday’s NWSL Draft.
ACFC acquired the pick in a four-team trade last week.
Thompson, who was the Gatorade Player of the Year as a sophomore at Harvard-Westlake High, was headed to Stanford to begin her college career before deciding to register for the draft.
Thompson, 18, made her U.S. national team debut Oct. 7 in a friendly against England at Wembley Stadium.
