WUSA: Bay Area picks first in February draft

The Bay Area CyberRays will pick first in the Feb. 4 draft, which will be held in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. The four-round draft is scheduled for 9 a.m.-12 p.m. ET. The draft order is the reverse of the December draft order, so Atlanta, which picked first in December, has the eighth and last pick in the first round. San Diego owns Atlanta’s second-round pick, which is the first pick in the second round and No. 9 overall. The Spirit had traded midfielder Kerry Gragg, whom it drafted in December, to the Beat for Atlanta’s sixth-round pick in that draft and its second-round pick in February. San Diego drafted goalkeeper Jaime Pagliarulo, who played on the U.S. national team’s recent trip to China, with that sixth-round pick. First Round 1. Bay Area 2. Washington 3. Carolina 4. Boston 5.
