This past week has been a tough one with soccer coming to an end. I am retiring from the NWSL and moving to the next chapter of my life. First of all, I want to say thank you to my family for making my brothers sit through all of those “miserable” club soccer games. You guys always manage to make my day a little better, and I am so thankful to have such an amazing family. Thanks to all of my teammates for pushing me to be my best self, and making everyday memorable. I can’t wait to watch you guys kick butt this year. Thanks to my coaches (especially Randy) for giving me this amazing opportunity that I will remember forever. Last but not least, thanks to the dash fans. You guys have showered me with so much love and support since day one. Without you guys this league would be nothing. Now I am apart of the dash fans, and I can’t wait to see what the dash future has in store. I will forever bleed orange. #dtfo #houstonsCP23
