Arielle Leah Ship (born May 2, 1995) is a former American women's soccer player who most recently played as a forward for Swedish club IFK Kalmar in the top-flight Damallsvenskan. She was the recipient of the California Golden Bears' first ever Pac-12 Player of the Year Award in 2015.

Club career

[edit]

Ship was drafted by Seattle Reign FC in the 2017 NWSL College Draft. Reign FC then traded Ship along with a 2018 NWSL College Draft pick to the Washington Spirit in exchange for Diana Matheson.[2][3]

On August 8, 2017, Ship was named NWSL Player of the Week after scoring a goal and adding two assists in a 4–1 Spirit win over Sky Blue FC.[4] On August 26, 2017, Ship suffered a torn right anterior cruciate ligament during a game against the Chicago Red Stars and missed the remainder of the 2017 season.[5]

After being waived by the Spirit in 2019, Utah Royals FC selected her from the league re-entry wire on November 5, 2019.[6] After the Royals dissolved in 2020, its player rights were relocated to expansion team Kansas City NWSL, including Ship's, in December 2020.[7]

In December 2021, she left the Kansas City Current without making an appearance[8] having agreed to join the Swedish team IFK Kalmar in November.[9] She left IFK Kalmar in June 2022 without making an appearance for the team.[10]

International career

[edit]

In February 2017, Ship was named to the United States women's national under-23 soccer team for the friendly La Manga Tournament against Japan, England, and Norway.[11]

After soccer

In 2023, Ship became a sales representative for an interior design company in California.[12][13]
