Reagan Grace Raabe (born September 27, 2001) is an American professional soccer player who plays as a winger for the Orlando Pride of the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL). She played college soccer for the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Early life
[edit]Raabe grew up in Omaha, Nebraska, one of three daughters born to Chris and Melanie Raabe.[2] She played high school soccer at Millard West High School. During her sophomore year, she tore the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in her right knee.[3] Despite the injury, she committed that year to play college soccer for the Nebraska Cornhuskers.[4] She then captained Millard West to the NSAA Class A state championship in her junior year in 2019, scoring 21 goals and tallying 11 assists, and was named the Nebraska Gatorade Player of the Year.[5] She played ECNL club soccer for Elite Girls Academy.[2]
College career
[edit]Raabe enrolled at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in the spring of 2020.[6] She played and started in 8 games and scored 1 goal as a freshman in the spring of 2021.[2] She started all 18 games as a sophomore in the fall of 2021, leading the team with 7 goals and adding 3 assists, and earned third-team All-Big Ten honors.[2] In her junior year in 2022, she started 17 games and scored 2 goals with 4 assists, being named third-team All-Big Ten for the second time.[2] Shortly before the Big Ten tournament, she tore her medial collateral ligament (MCL) and missed the rest of the season.[6]
In the spring of 2023, Raabe tore the ACL in her right knee during a preseason match and missed what would have been her senior season.[3] Without her, the Huskers won the Big Ten regular-season title and reached the NCAA tournament quarterfinals.[6] In the spring of 2024, she tore the ACL in her left knee less than ten minutes into her return in a preseason match, forcing her to miss a second consecutive season.[3] She considered retiring from soccer after her third ACL injury before deciding to return for her sixth and final season in 2025.[3] That year, she started all 18 games and scored 4 goals while leading the team with 6 assists.[2]
Club career
[edit]After attending the NWSL Combine in December 2025,[7] Raabe joined the Orlando Pride as a non-roster trialist in the 2026 preseason.[8] On March 5, the Pride announced that they had signed Raabe to her first professional contract on a short-term deal through June.[9] She made her professional debut later that month as a substitute in the season opener, a 2–1 defeat to the Seattle Reign.[10]
