Chioma Ubogagu, late fourth-round pick for Sky Blue FC and Stanford standout, has recently signed with Arsenal Ladies. Talks regarding her move to the FAWSL appear to play a role in her rather dramatic drop in the draft, as she was expected to become unavailable much earlier in the talent-deep draft. Her appearance in the 2014 College Cup, as well as her team-leading seven assists and four game-winning goals, had her projected to go sometime in the second round.
