U.S. women's national team star Rose Lavelle met a young fan on Saturday night with a very familiar name.

Lavelle was signing autographs after her club side, the Washington Spirit, fell 2-1 to the Houston Dash at the Maryland SoccerPlex.

The 24-year-old did not participate in the match but was honored after the game alongside five of her teammates who also participated in the recently completed World Cup.
