Washington women’s soccer adds transfer from Maryland

SEATTLE (Via University of Washington) – The Washington Huskies announced the signing of Maryland transfer forward Mary Johnston today. Johnston, a forward from Oak Harbor, Washington, has joined the team early for the spring season.

Johnston had an impressive high school and club career in Washington. She was a part of five consecutive Northwest League championships with Crossfire G98 and was selected to two PDP ECNL showcases. Johnston was a part of the U.S. U14 National Team as well.

“I chose UW because of the amazing academics and the ability to play in the Pac-12, the highest level of college soccer,” said Johnston about her decision to join the Huskies.

Lesle Gallimore was excited to bring another attacking option to the Huskies, saying that “Mary is a great presence on the wing in the attack and has a great mentality when it comes to defense. We watched her as she grew up here in Washington and we’re excited that she’s made the decision to come home.”

Johnston will join five freshmen to make up Washington’s incoming class for the 2019 season.

Help us welcome our newest Husky, @maryjohnston_!
