Meghan Klingenberg embraces leadership, adversity as a binding force for Portland Thorns
Posted Jul 25, 2023
Former UNC standout Meghan Klingenberg embodies leadership for the Portland Thorns. The gritty, foul-mouthed, kind-hearted, and philosophical fullback is an indispensable part of what makes the reigning NWSL champions great. Since joining the Thorns in 2016, Klingenberg has won two titles (2017, 2022) and helped define Portland’s team culture.
