She is a starting forward on the U.S. women's national team as well as on the Washington Spirit in the National Women's Soccer League.
Senior forward/defender Hailie Mace graduated in 2019 from UCLA and has already logged three CAPS with the USWNT. Senior midfielder Jessie Fleming is another current Bruin logging time internationally, having earned her first minutes with the Canadian women's national team as a fifteen year old.
