We are pleased to announce that the Council for Standards in Human Service Education (CSHSE) recently received notification, effective January 27, 2014, that the Council has been granted recognition from the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).
NWSL became the first U.S. professional women's soccer league to reach nine teams with the expansion of the MLS-backed Houston Dash in 2014; expansion interest, particularly from MLS teams, has continued.
NWSL team owners hinted that expansion for 2014 was not a question of if but how many. Despite this, it was announced during the playoffs that there would be no expansion for the league's second season, though the Red Bulls and Sky Blue FC confirmed that they were in discussions for cooperation.
