“She’s a winner” – How Heather O’Reilly moved from World Cup frustration to NWSL Championship glory

Posted Oct 29, 2015
Heather O’Reilly‘s career statistics feature some pretty compelling numbers. Forty-one goals, three Olympic gold medals and one Women’s World Cup title in a whopping 220 career U.S. Women’s National Team appearances (the first of which came way back in 2002, when she was just 17 years old); a nine-year run in professional and semipro club ball featuring eight championship games, seven of which her team won; two national championships and her No. 20 jersey retired by the University of North Carolina in a glittering NCAA tenure.
