In the span of six months, Lily Yohannes experienced the full gamut of reaction from fans of women's international soccer.
In June, Yohannes was celebrated as she scored on her international debut for the U.S. women's national team against South Korea, making her -- at the age of 16 -- the third-youngest player to score for the USWNT.
Because the appearance came in a friendly, though, it didn't commit her to the U.S. program. There was still talk of her representing the Netherlands, where she has lived for the past seven years.
