Sky Blue FC selected Butler forward Paige Monaghan with the 10th overall pick in the 2018 National Women's Soccer League Draft Thursday (Jan. 10). This marks the first time a Butler women's soccer player has been drafted.

Located in Monaghan's home state, Sky Blue plays its home games in Piscataway, NJ. 

Monaghan played an integral in the Bulldog attack in 2018, earning First Team All-East Region Honors and First Team BIG EAST Honors after notching two goals and a team-high six assists for Butler. Her two goals came against then-ranked No. 20 Notre Dame. The senior also recorded two assists in the Bulldogs' 2-0 win over IUPUI.

Monaghan led the team in shots with 51 and created numerous chances for the Bulldog offense in the midfield. She ends her standout career with her name in the Butler record books: No. 6 in career shots with 256, No. 7 in points with 62, Tied for 8th in assists with 18, and No. 9 in goals with 22. The midfielder was also named an All-American in 2017, just the third Bulldog to receive the honor. She graduated this past December from Butler with a degree in Marketing.
