2004— Catherine Reddick: Women's Soccer (Birmingham, Ala.)
Won the Honda and Missouri Athletic Club National Player of the Year awards and captained an undefeated, untied women's soccer squad in 2003 that two decades later head coach Anson Dorrance called one of the best college teams ever.

She earned consensus first-team All-America and All-ACC honors in 2002, 2003 and 2004.

She led Carolina to NCAA championships in 2000 and 2003, the NCAA finals in 2001 and national semifinals in 2002. The Tar Heels won four straight ACC Tournament championships. As a senior, she anchored a defense that shut out all six opponents in the NCAA Tournament as the Tar Heels outscored the opposition 32-0 in winning the national title.

Reddick was named Most Outstanding Defensive Player in both the 2000 and 2003 NCAA Tournaments. She scored the game-winning goal in the 2000 NCAA championship game against UCLA in her first collegiate start as a freshman.

The Birmingham, Ala., native scored 20 goals and 22 assists in 67 contests as a Tar Heel.

Reddick played on the United States Women’s National Team from 2000-10 and started in the 2004 Olympics when the U.S. won the gold medal.
