A two-time Goalkeeper of the Year (2011 in the WPS and 2016 in the NWSL), the Satellite Beach, FL native is a strong veteran presence for the USA—which will be a huge factor as the team navigates the physical and emotional waves that come with seeking a second straight World Cup title.

Technically, She’s Won Two World Cups…

In addition to winning the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup, Ashlyn Harris played every minute as the USA won the 2002 FIFA U-19 Women’s World Cup. She was the youngest starter on the team at 16 years old, but one of the brightest stars. It was her saves that allowed the U.S. to prevail in overtime 1-0 over Canada to win the inaugural title. Harris was back with the U-19s two years later, playing every minute again as the U.S. finished third at the 2004 tournament in Thailand.

Harris took that international success with her to the college ranks where she won three NCAA Championships with the University of North Carolina in 2006, 2008 and 2009.

Fashion is Her Other Passion

Harris has a knack for mixing costume jewelry with designer clothing to craft a style that is both individually creative and impressively chic. The shot-stopper has always had an eye for fashion, starting in grade school when she would use markers and patches to spruce up her clothes. Her interest really took off after college as Harris joined the professional soccer ranks. The World Cup winner sees fashion as a great avenue for self-expression. In addition to rocking designer brands, she even has her own T-shirt line. Harris says one of the reasons she likes fashion is because it’s a great conversation starter. It may just be the case that one day, a red carpet reporter might ask, “Who are you wearing?” To which the response may very well be, “I’m wearing Ashlyn Harris.”
