Reagan 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

Raabe grew up in Omaha, Nebraska, one of three daughters born to Chris and Melanie Raabe.[1] 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.[2] Despite the injury, she committed that year to play college soccer for the Nebraska Cornhuskers.[3] 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.[4] She played ECNL club soccer for Elite Girls Academy.[1]

College career

Raabe enrolled at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in the spring of 2020.[5] She played and started in 8 games and scored 1 goal as a freshman in the spring of 2021.[1] 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.[1] 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.[1] Shortly before the Big Ten tournament, she tore her medial collateral ligament (MCL) and missed the rest of the season.[5]

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.[2] Without her, the Huskers won the Big Ten regular-season title and reached the NCAA tournament quarterfinals.[5] 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.[2] She considered retiring from soccer after her third ACL injury before deciding to return for her sixth and final season in 2025.[2] That year, she started all 18 games and scored 4 goals while leading the team with 6 assists.[1]

Club career

After attending the NWSL Combine in December 2025,[6] Raabe joined the Orlando Pride as a non-roster trialist in the 2026 preseason.[7] On March 5, the Pride announced that they had signed Raabe to her first professional contract on a short-term deal through June.[8] She made her professional debut later that month as a substitute in the season opener, a 2–1 defeat to the Seattle Reign.[9]
