Her impact on the field was key to their success.
Lavelle, the Cincinnati native and dog loving menace at center midfield for the World Cup Champions was one of if not the key figure for the team in this tournament. We all knew her attacking flare and creativity was some of the best in the world, but her overall work ethic and desire is what took her over the edge. And, what’s even better is her story to the top.
