NCAA National Championship: check. Club championship: check. Women's World Cup championship: check. Olympic gold medal: check, in triplicate. On Friday, one of the most decorated midfielders in United States history decided it's time for a retirement tour.
Announcing on social media that 2019 would be her last season as a professional."Everybody's journey is different and everybody decides at different times when it's the end for them," said NC Courage midfielder, Heather O'Reilly. "For me, personally, I think I'm a closure person." "I think it's always a good time when the player decides it's a good time, when you leave on your own and it's not somebody else making you leave," said Courage head coach Paul Riley. The news came on the eve of the Courage's NWSL season opener, despite this being a choice O'Reilly's been mulling for some time. "She came to me the other day and told me and she just about shed tears when she told me. She could barely get a sentence out, and I think that shows how much passion she's got for the game. It was an emotional ten minutes for her.
I think it's just the right time for me, but I did want to say it before the season so it's just kind of out there and I can enjoy the next six months with this wonderful team." She rose to prominence as a member of UNC's women's soccer team where she scored 59 goals, tallied 49 assists, book ending her collegiate career with National Championships in 2003 and 2006. She was named College Cup MVP in both of those title wins. O'Reilly also became a fixture on the US Women's National Team, making 231 appearances while scoring 47 goals in international play before announcing her retirement from the USWNT in 2016. "The girl is an absolute legend. It's like her and Dwyane Wade are leaving the sports as legends," said NC Courage forward Jessica McDonald. "She's not just a legend in this country, but the world," says Riley. "Everywhere we go when we travel, everyone wants to see Heather O'Reilly, and talk to Heather O'Reilly." She continued to play at the club level before being traded to the Courage in June of 2018. O'Reilly quickly meshed with the highly successful squad, scoring the lone goal against Lyon in the Courage's championship victory in the first-ever Women's International Cup.
"No matter how many caps she's got, she's still humble and got great humility, that's what I love about her, and a really great player still on top of that," Riley says. The 34-year-old said 2019 just seemed like the right season and the right time to hang up her boots. She seems to have a second career already lined up too. She'll be part of the FOX broadcast team as part of the network's coverage for the 2019 Women's World Cup. "I'm also going to be going off to Paris to do TV work for about five weeks, so there's a lot going on for me right now professionally," O'Reilly explains. "I'm always going to be involved with this beautiful game." That hiatus will come in the middle of the NWSL season, when several other Courage players will be on leave as well. Thus thrusting a number of younger, more inexperienced players into starting roles. Which may be where O'Reilly's greatest contribution comes into play now. "We just started preseason a couple of weeks ago and one of the rookies came in and said, 'oh my god, I'm playing with Heather O'Reilly!'" Riley recalls. "And she's so down to Earth she just makes them all feel welcome." It will be tough to top a season that include an historic "treble:" the International Cup Championship, a NWSL Shield, and a NWSL Championship. O'Reilly's never been one to shy away from a challenge though. "It's not going to change anything, we're going to go about doing our business as we always do," O'Reilly said. "Anybody that knows me knows that I'm going to give it 100 percent." "I'm glad I get to coach her in her final year, and I'm glad she gets to do it with the North Carolina Courage,"
Riley said. "What a great way to play home in your final season." "For me, as her friend and as her teammate, I'm happy that I got to witness a legend on the field," said McDonald.Auburn soccer has added goalkeeper Kate Hart as the newest member of the program, head coach Karen Hoppa announced Friday.
