Raised in a military family, the standout rookie has proven adept at acclimating to new environments.
Hal Hershfelt, the No. 5 pick in the NWSL draft, has quickly entrenched herself in the Spirit midfield. Hal Hershfelt’s arms may be awash in ink, but two tattoos carry outsize significance for the Washington Spirit rookie.
Both tattoos befit a player who, five games into her NWSL career, is already carving out a reputation as a midfield warrior. Partnering with veteran Andi Sullivan in the middle, Hershfelt has brought tenacious tackling, crisp distribution and uncanny instincts to a Spirit squad that, at 4-1-0, sits second in the NWSL entering Friday night’s match against the Orlando Pride at Audi Field., Hershfelt figured to make an impact sooner than later.
“I like just being thrown into new environments,” Hershfelt said. “I do wish that I was somewhere for a long time, but I think in hindsight it was a good thing for me and my brother to have to adapt wherever we went.” Although Hershfelt’s injury scared off some college coaches, she said Clemson’s Eddie Radwanski never wavered. Finding stability in South Carolina — easily the place she has called home the longest — Hershfelt landed on the ACC all-freshman team in 2019, the all-ACC third team in 2020, the second team in 2021 and 2022, and the first team last fall, when she led the Tigers to their first College Cup appearance.
