Klingenberg awed by post-World Cup attention

Posted Jul 10, 2015
Meghan Klingenberg is exhausted, but in the best way. Winning a World Cup will do that. The Richland native played in all of the United States’ 17 games this year, including every minute of the FIFA Women’s World Cup campaign that ended Sunday with a 5-2 victory against Japan. Things haven’t slowed down for the defender since, and they might not soon. (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)
