This article is also available in Français and Kreyòl ayisyen
Haiti women’s team captain Nerilia Mondésir will play in the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) playoffs with Seattle Reign. The Haitian forward and her team open their postseason against Gotham FC.
Seattle, where Mondésir has played for nearly three seasons, clinched its spot by finishing eighth in the standings — the last playoff berth. As a result, the club will face Gotham FC, the regular-season leader and defending champion, in the quarterfinals.
A key contribution and a historic milestone for Mondésir
The Quartier-Morin native played a major role in her team’s qualification. In 1,197 minutes over 10 starts this season, she scored two goals and provided two assists. She notably featured in a crucial 3-1 win over the Chicago Stars on October 18.
The former Montpellier player also reached a historic milestone in the United States this season, becoming the first Haitian-born player to make 50 regular-season appearances in the NWSL.
The most prestigious women’s league in the Concacaf region will crown its champion at the end of the playoffs. The quarterfinal is set for Sunday, November 8.
