How they got here
There is only one No. 1 ranked team in the women's quarterfinals with Florida State representing the top seed. No. 2 North Carolina, No. 4 TCU, No. 7 Texas A&M, No. 9 Duke, No. 11 Santa Clara, No. 14 Clemson and unseeded Virginia, round out eight teams vying for a spot in the final four. The Tigers upset No. 3 UCLA on penalty kicks and Virginia advanced into the quarterfinals as the only unseeded team behind a hat trick from star striker Diana Ordonez. She led the Cavs over Rice, 3-0.
NWSL stars of the future
The remaining teams are stocked with players already ticketed for the NWSL. Thanks to the altered rules of last year's draft, a number of players currently competing have already been drafted with North Carolina midfielder Brianna Pinto ticketed for NJ/NY Gotham FC, Santa Clara attacker Kelsey Turnbow on her way to Chicago and TCU winger Yazmeen Ryan off to Portland. Additionally, Jaelin Howell of Florida State and Alexa Spaanstra of Virginia are prospects likely to in hot demand in the 2022 draft.
