For many athletes, the opportunity to play at the national level is an honor unlike any other. For Dash goalkeeper Bianca Henninger, a spot on the Mexican Women’s National Team has added meaning as it has allowed her to connect more with her Mexican roots. Ahead of Hispanic Heritage Month, we caught up with the goalkeeper to ask her about her experience playing for the senior team and her experiences as a Mexican-American athlete.
Since earning her first cap with the senior team in February 2017, Henninger has earned 5 caps for Mexico, which include a clean sheet in the second half of the 2018 Central American and Caribbean Games final this July, leading to a gold medal in the tournament.
