Fast approaching a half-century of caps for her country and boasting 12 goals from midfield, Lavelle is one of the team’s brightest stars.

Last summer, she won the Bronze Ball at the World Cup in France and scored in the 2-0 Final victory over the Netherlands, as the Stars and Stripes clinched the trophy for the fourth time.

Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, Lavelle played collegiately at the University of Wisconsin before stints with Boston Breakers and Washington Spirit, where she was #1 pick in the NWSL College Draft and Dispersal Draft respectively.

Moving to Washington Spirit in 2018, she immediately impressed for the DC area outfit and was consequently awarded a place in the 2019 National Women’s Soccer League Best XI and 2020 NWSL Challenge Cup Best XI.

Internationally, Lavelle began representing her homeland at Under-18 level in 2013 and won the Golden Ball at the 2014 CONCACAF Women’s U20 Championship before leading the team at the 2014 FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup, where she scored once and had two assists.

JANE CAMPBELL

US National Team and Houston Dash Goalkeeper

READ BIO >

Jane graduated from Stanford University in 2017. She's a sixth year professional and was drafted to Houston Dash in 2017.

She grew up with dogs her entire life. As a child Ruby (her golden retriever) would love to play fetch with her in the yard. Ruby's “sister” Ollie (Beagle/Hound Mix) quickly became her best friend and would keep the house awfully busy. Jane adopted her first dog Tinkerbell (Maltipoo) in 2018.

After taking care of Tink for a few months alone, she decided to adopt another dog at the end of the year, Kodeye who is a chihuahua. They’re best of friends. Since, she's gotten two more, Bowie (Lab/Pit mix) and Rip (German shepard Mix).

Jane believed that all dogs deserve a loving home, safety and health. Spreading the word about Forgotten Dogs Foundation brings her great joy in hoping to save more dogs each day.
