Rose Lavelle, OL Reign/ United States Women's National Team
Among Cincinnatians currently in the pros, Lavelle is arguably the most accomplished.
The Mount Notre Dame grad quickly ascended the ranks during her time at the University of Wisconsin on the way to the number one overall pick in the 2017 National Women's Soccer League draft. On the club scene, Lavelle has spent time with the Boston Breakers, Washington Spirit, Manchester City and her current club, OL Reign.
