Klingenberg's toughness and will key in U.S. World Cup

Posted Jul 7, 2015
Meghan Klingenberg played every minute of every game during the 2015 World Cup. Part of the stingy United States defensive back line, the former Tar Heel was a consistent force for the Women's team the entire tournament. The U.S. only gave up one goal heading into the championship match against Japan. "I jump into things 100%," Klingenberg said in a pre-World Cup U.S. Soccer video. (Carolina Blue)
