Despite not realizing her dream to play professionally until college, the Sky Blue FC goalkeeper proves that even the newest dreams are possible
Standing in the tunnel of Memorial Stadium, Caroline Casey looked around as she prepared to take the field for the first time in her professional career.
Lined up in front of her was one of the most decorated players in the game, and beside her was one of the best goalkeepers in the world.
It was like a dream, but one she didn’t even know was possible when she first started out.
Casey, a 22-year-old native of Chesapeake, Virginia, started playing soccer when she was five or six years old, when her parents signed her up for recreation league soccer.
