We spoke with the World Cup winner and back-to-back NWSL champ about the growth of the women's game, soccer culture in Kansas City, and whether she'd be OK with renaming the league's Defender of the Year award in her honor.
Back in November, we were honored to speak three-time NWSL Defender of the Year Becky Sauerbrunn about her exemplary soccering life. With the fourth season of the National Women's Soccer League set to kick off this weekend, we can think of no greater spokeswoman to help us usher in another season of women's club soccer in America.
