Yeah, her HS career was great. Played on a team with three D1 college superstars and unable to win a MIAA state title. Same type of results at BC ... what a leader! She has been average in USYWNT World Cups. She may be the best female player from Mass, but that is like saying that she is the tallest kid in first grade. Good luck in Australia and then back here for to play "pro" soccer but who expects her to actually win anything?

I grant you the HS team was always overrated (including by the Boston Globe that nearly always gave the WH players top honors while playing in a weak league even when other teams had tougher leagues and went further in tournament), but she has made a huge difference at BC. They would have been much worse in a very strong league without her. Year after year she was the best player on that team hands down - compare that VD on BC who faded away or with her sister who is a great player but does not stand out as much on her college team which plays in a weaker league. KM came in strong - stayed strong and made a difference.
As for the YNT- you ought to recheck - she had accolades throughout and nearly always started.

Looks like her first game Downunder was abandoned before the half and will be replayed on-
