TACOMA, Washington – Texas A&M soccer standout Cosette Morché signed a contract to play with OL Reign of the NWSL, the professional side announced Friday morning.
Â
It marks Morché's first deal to play in the NWSL. She spent the last two seasons playing with Eskilstuna United DFF in Damallsvenskan, the highest division of women's soccer in Sweden.
Â
"This is great news for Cosette and all her fans like me," Aggie head coach G Guerrieri said. "She came to Texas A&M because she wanted to be a professional footballer after college. She went to Sweden after graduation to continue her progression, and has now earned one of the most coveted spots in the women's game – a place on an NWSL side and a great worldwide brand like OL Reign. I am so happy and excited for her."
Â
In her two seasons in Aggieland, Morché played all 4,168 minutes in goal, racking up a 35-7-3 record and 0.80 goals-against average with 20 shutouts.
As a senior, Morché ranked fourth in the nation with 12 shutouts. She recorded four consecutive shutouts to start the season, an Aggie first. She ended the year with a 17-5-1 record and 0.85 goals-against average.
Â
During her junior season, Morché had a streak of 16 consecutive games in which she allowed one goal or less, which included a 14-match win streak. She ended the season with an 18-2-2 record, 0.75 goals-against average and eight shutouts. She posted a 9-1-0 record with a 0.68 goals-against average in SEC play.
Including two seasons at Louisiana, Morché played 75 NCAA Division I matches, logging a 47-21-6 mark with 36 shutouts and a 1.07 goals-against average.
Â
Four Aggies were on NWSL rosters in 2020, including Shea Groom (Houston Dash), Merritt Mathias (North Carolina Courage), Alyssa Mautz (Chicago Red Stars) and Ally Watt (North Carolina Courage).
Â
Formerly Seattle Reign, the team is now run by OL Groupe, the parent company of French clubs Olympique Lyonnais and Olympique Lyonnais Féminin.
