“We’re thrilled to welcome Maddie Prohaska to our goalkeeper union! From our December combine through preseason, Maddie has consistently competed at a high level, earning her place at the club,” expressed Seattle Reign FC General Manager Lesle Gallimore. “She has demonstrated her ability to challenge the group, learn and improve every day, bringing a positive presence to our environment. Maddie has the talent and drive to go far in this league, and we’re extremely pleased to have her here at Reign FC.”

Prohaska, 22, initially joined Reign FC as a non-roster invitee for preseason. Over her five years with the Tigers, she started in 96 matches, recording 36 shutouts, breaking the all-time school record, and ranking third in Southeastern Conference history.

The goalkeeper concludes her Auburn career third in matches played, second in average goals allowed (0.93), sixth in saves (291), and seventh in save percentage (0.768). As a graduate senior in 2024, Prohaska started in all 21 matches and recorded 12 clean sheets, tying the program’s single-season record from 21 years ago.

“Since joining the club as a trialist this preseason, I’ve felt so welcomed in this professional environment,” Prohaska stated. “The team culture here is unlike any other, and I’ve enjoyed working alongside the goalkeeper group. Looking forward to kicking off the season with our fans on March 15!”

During her tenure at Auburn, Prohaska earned the following honors and awards: CSC Academic All-District (2024), PNC Achievers Winner (2024), Auburn SAAC Secretary (2023-24), and SEC All-Freshman Team (2020).

On the international stage, the Ohio native was invited to the U.S. Soccer U-14 National Camp in 2015. Before playing collegiately, Prohaska played one year for Lakota West, winning state with her high school before playing club soccer with the Cincinnati Development Academy.
