The Angel City FC player is the first Native American soccer player in the National Women's Soccer League.
In January 2020, Madison Hammond was riding a train from Sevilla to Madrid during the National Women’s Soccer League college draft in Baltimore. The defender from Wake Forest University had worked diligently to finish her undergraduate degree by the end of fall 2019 ― a semester early ― in order to declare her draft eligibility.
“As each round goes by, I’m getting more and more flustered, more and more freaked out,” Hammond said. “I’m in the middle of this country by myself, I don’t know what I’m going to do with my life, and I was just sobbing on this train.”Minutes later, she got a phone call asking her to attend a preseason camp for a team in the NWSL. Then Hammond received a text message from one of her coaches: The Seattle OL Reign had picked up her rights.
Now competing with Los Angeles’ Angel City Football Club, the 25-year-old defender and midfielder is charting her own path on and off the field.After that text message, Hammond flew to Northern Virginia — she moved there from Albuquerque with her family at age 10 — to prep for the preseason. In Seattle, her first training sessions went well. That is, before the COVID-19 pandemic hit in March 2020.
