Since being drafted by Gotham FC in 2021, Sheehan has appeared in 42 games and played 2,515 minutes for the club.
 
Torres is returning for her second campaign after missing 2023 due to a season-ending anterior cruciate ligament injury during preseason training camp. The midfielder had a very impressive rookie season, earning 11 starts in her 17 appearances as well as recording a passing distribution rating of 80.4 percent. The club selected the Frisco, Texas native with the No. 23 pick in the 2021 NWSL Draft.
