Following graduation, Crystal played a fifth year of collegiate soccer while starting her master’s degree. The Georgetown women’s soccer team made history that year by winning the Big East Conference Championship for the first time in school history and advancing to the NCAA final four college cup. Crystal scored the game-winning goal against Santa Clara to put the team into the finals.
Shortly after that, she was invited to the United States Under-23 Women’s National team (the pre-Olympic team) and was tested against the best in the country in her age group.
After much effort, support, personal belief, and perseverance, she signed her first professional soccer contract in the spring of 2017. Since then, she has seen God work in her life and the lives of others through soccer. He has provided in unexpected ways, allowing her to experience His joy while playing, accomplishing her goals, and being challenged through difficult experiences.
