Previous Experience:

A dominant and experienced shot-stopper, Crone adds veteran presence to a youthful goalkeeping room. The 27-year-old possesses strong hands, fearlessness coming off her line and willingness to put her body on the line to make critical saves. Crone joins a goalkeeping group headlined by rookies Bella Hara and Haley Craig, forming one of the most balanced and complete goalkeeper rooms in the Super League.

A native of Maitland, Florida, Crone began her collegiate career at the University of Oklahoma, where she started and appeared in all 39 matches over two seasons before transferring to the University of Alabama. She was dominant during her three years in Tuscaloosa, making 64 starts and recording 229 saves across 5,733 minutes in goal. Crone capped her college career with a standout 2022 season, setting Crimson Tide single-season records for shutouts (10) and wins (23), while also establishing program career marks in wins (41) and tying the school record for shutouts (21). She earned two SEC Defender of the Week honors, was named to the SEC All-Tournament Team, and ended her career ranked second all-time in NCAA Division I history with 9,519.77 goalkeeper minutes played.

Following the conclusion of her collegiate career, Crone joined her hometown Orlando Pride as a non-roster invitee during the preseason. After an impressive showing in training, she signed her first professional contract in June 2023 as a National Team Replacement Player, was retained for the remainder of the season in September, and re-signed with the club in March 2024. Crone made her professional debut on July 20, 2024, appearing in a Summer Cup match against the NC Courage, before signing a long-term contract with the Pride later that September and was a part of the Orlando Pride squad that won the 2024 NWSL Championship. She made her NWSL debut on May 4, 2025, coming on as a substitute, and earned her first league start on September 13 against Bay FC, recording three saves in a 1-1 draw.

A veteran shot-stopper with extensive professional experience, Crone adds depth, leadership and reliability to an already elite goalkeeping room as Fort Lauderdale United pushes toward the Super League Playoffs in the second half of the season.

Previous Experience:

Known for her poise under pressure and fierce competitive drive, Hara combines quick reflexes with the athleticism to make difficult saves look routine. Comfortable commanding her area and confident with the ball at her feet, Hara also brings the distribution skills to initiate attacks and complement Fort Lauderdale’s possession-based style.

A native of San Diego, California, Hara began her college career at Azusa Pacific before transferring to Cal Poly Pomona for her final two seasons. She started all 43 matches for the Broncos, earning back-to-back All-CCAA Second Team honors and conceding just 28 goals. Hara’s standout 2024 campaign included a program-record 14 shutouts, captaining a Cal Poly Pomona side that took home the NCAA Division II National Championship.

Hara has been a consistent presence for Guam on the international level since making her debut in late 2023 at the EAFF Championships against Macau and Hong Kong-China. She captained the national team at the 2024 WAFF Championships, starting three matches and recording a shutout victory over Saudi Arabia. Most recently, Hara featured in three AFC Women’s Asian Cup Qualifiers in June and July, facing the United Arab Emirates, Maldives and Vietnam.

A well-rounded presence in goal, Hara brings championship pedigree and quality depth to a fully rebuilt goalkeeper room as Fort Lauderdale aims for a return to the Super League Final.

Previous Experience:

A commanding presence between the posts, Craig is an exceptional shot-stopper with the ability to make high-level saves both in the air and on the ground with consistency. Comfortable with the ball at her feet, Craig fits seamlessly into the tactical style Fort Lauderdale brings to every match.

A native of Dexter, Michigan, Craig brings extensive experience from the U.S. Youth National Team system – having represented both the U-17 and U-19 squads – and she was a key piece of the U-17 squad that captured the UEFA Development Tournament title in 2019. Craig went on to play collegiately at Stanford, where she spent four seasons developing into one of the top goalkeepers in the country, capping her career with a dominant senior campaign in 2024.

In her final collegiate season, Craig logged 2,081 minutes in goal for a top-five ranked Stanford side, recording 12 shutouts over 23 matches while making 58 saves and allowing just 18 goals. Craig played a pivotal role in leading the Cardinal to the NCAA National Semifinal, with her standout moment coming in a thrilling Round of 16 shootout win over Arkansas. In the decisive penalty kicks, she saved a pair of shots and stepped up to bury one of her own, sealing a 4-2 victory for Stanford. 

Following her Stanford career, Craig signed a roster-relief contract with the NWSL’s Portland Thorns ahead of their Concacaf W Champions Cup matches against Tigres UANL and Club América, and was named to the matchday roster for both contests.

A young but experienced goalkeeper, Craig will bring depth, composure and high-level athleticism to Fort Lauderdale United’s goalkeeping room as the club reloads its roster in pursuit of another Super League Final.
