The last time that the United States Women’s National Soccer team won a FIFA World Cup, Abby Wambach was still in Gainesville, fresh off an All-SEC freshman season and helping lead the Florida Gators to their first (and currently only) NCAA National Championship.
The dream was set in place for the former number one women’s soccer recruit in the country.
After finishing her career at the University of Florida as the Gators all team leading scorer and four time SEC champion, she went on to take her place in national soccer scene. And with her latest accomplishment, she has very possibly cemented a legacy as one of, if not the greatest women’s soccer player of all time.
