In what seems to be a pattern – first Lauren Holiday, then Leigh Ann Brown (nee Robinson) – FC Kansas City defender Amy LePeilbet announced her retirement today. LePeilbet racked up a number of accomplishments while playing at FC Kansas City, including two NWSL championships, recognition on the 2015 NWSL Best XI and FC Kansas City’s MVP honor this year.
LePeilbet also logged 84 caps with the USWNT, and was a part of the second place team at the 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup and the 2012 Olympic Championship team. Throughout her career, she suffered two injuries to her ACL, but continued to play.
