Briana Scurry
She was the starting goalkeeper of 1996 U.S. Olympic gold medal winning women's soccer team; She was a founding player in the WUSA
Scurry's career is marked by numerous accolades and milestones. She earned 173 international caps, making her the second-most capped female goalkeeper in U.S. history. Her consistency and reliability in goal were key factors in the U.S. team's dominance during the late 1990s and early 2000s. Scurry also played in the 2003 and 2007 Women's World Cups, securing third-place finishes in both tournaments. In addition to her international success, she was a founding member of the Women's United Soccer Association (WUSA), where she played for the Atlanta Beat from 2001 to 2003.
In 2017, Scurry was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame, becoming the first woman goalkeeper and the first Black woman to receive this prestigious honor. Her induction was a testament to her impact on the sport, both as a player and as a trailblazer for future generations of athletes. Scurry's influence extends beyond the soccer field, as she has been an advocate for diversity and inclusion in sports, as well as a role model for LGBTQ+ athletes. In 2018, she married Chryssa Zizos, further solidifying her role as a prominent figure in the LGBTQ+ community.
In 2022, Scurry released her memoir, "My Greatest Save," which became a best-seller and offered a candid look at her life, career, and the challenges she faced both on and off the field. That same year, she was the subject of a CBS documentary titled "The Only," which chronicled her journey as a pioneering athlete. Scurry's legacy as one of the greatest goalkeepers in women's soccer history is firmly established, and her contributions to the sport continue to inspire athletes around the world.
