SEATTLE – Washington women's soccer head coach Nicole Van Dyke has announced the signing of Seattle Pacific transfer midfielder Grace Gouran through the transfer portal.
Gouran, a native of Bellingham, Washington, comes to Montlake after playing her true freshman season for the Falcons in 2025, helping lead SPU to an 8-5-7 overall record.
"Grace is a great example of a player from right here in Washington who contributed as a freshman, has continued to develop during her college career, and chose to stay and play locally," Van Dyke said. "Credit to the coaches who have helped guide and develop her along the way. She is an exceptional student, a true two-way player, and will add depth and competitiveness to our midfield."
