Haley Kopmeyer knows her role on the Orlando Pride. She’s known it since she came over from Seattle this past off-season: Ashlyn Harris is the starter, and she is the backup.
“Yes, my goal is to get a No. 1 job and be a No. 1 somewhere,” said Kopmeyer. “What goalie doesn’t want that or isn’t working for that? In the same token, I knew coming here there would be a role for me. I have an opportunity to go out and get really good training and focus on myself a little bit more, just in terms of my personal development, and learn a lot.
