Maggie Graham

Duke did not need her for four full seasons of school soccer. Graham won a state title as a freshman at The Westminster Schools in Atlanta, spending her sophomore, junior and senior years with Development Academy club NTH Tophat, where she captained the side for four years and was capped by the United States at U-16 and U-18 level.

At Duke she made the extra pandemic year of eligibility count. Across five seasons and 101 appearances for the Blue Devils, she scored 22 goals and set up 15 more, and in 2024 alone was named ACC Midfielder of the Year, a MAC Hermann Trophy finalist, a United Soccer Coaches First-Team All-American and ACC Scholar-Athlete of the Year, with places on the All-ACC First Team and the TopDrawerSoccer Best XI First Team. She became the first Blue Devil to score twice in each of the first two matches of an NCAA Tournament run.

Signing with Houston Dash as a free agent in January 2025, Graham became the first collegiate player brought in by the club under the new NWSL Collective Bargaining Agreement that did away with the draft. She made her professional debut in March 2025 and scored in each of her first two matches, against Washington Spirit and Chicago Stars FC, form that earned her the NWSL Rookie of the Month award for March. Houston later named her the club's Young Player of the Year for 2025.
