The 2015 NWSL Rookie of the Year, Colaprico's debut season earned her a call up USWNT training camp in January 2016. Midfielder Colaprico also recorded a full season with the Red Stars and was a part of one the best midfields in the NWSL.

The box to box midfielder will provide plenty of energy and some experience to what it anticipated to be a relatively inexperienced Reds' midfield.
“I think heading over to Australia to play with Adelaide will be an excellent opportunity to keep playing at a high level in the offseason and to be in an environment where I’m not as comfortable,” said Colaprico.
“All of this will help me to continue to grow as a player and I am excited about the chance to do so.”
Colaprico and Huerta have already arrived in Australia and commenced training with Adelaide United.
