2014 NWSL College Draft


The 2014 NWSL College Draft was the second annual meeting of National Women's Soccer League franchises to select eligible college players. It was held on January 17, 2014, at the NSCAA Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and was open to the public.

Format

  • Draft order was determined by the final 2013 regular season standings.
  • The Houston Dash, the expansion team associated with the Houston Dynamo, then received the fifth pick in the first round, between the four teams that missed the 2013 playoffs and the four that made the playoffs, and first pick in the second and fourth rounds. After the 2014 allocations were released, this was later updated to give Houston the second pick in the first round and the first pick in the third round.
