The national team comes before everything.

Getting a chance to practice six months against my own teammates, who I consider the best soccer players in the world, there's no way I couldn't improve.

UNC symbolizes something special. When you get chills you know you belong here.

We knew it was going to be the biggest event scheduled in the history of women's sports, but we didn't ever fathom we would be playing before sold-out stadiums all over the country.

In the margin for error lies all our room for maneuver.

I just want you inside, baby, we don't need to talk about promises.

Be still. Stillness reveals the secrets of eternity

Every time I hit a shot, I feel like I am shaking hands with the flag stick.
