    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    At UT Missimo finished as the program's career leader in points (176), goals (56), and assists (64). In 2023, she recorded a historic 20-goal and 20-assist season. The midfielder was also named to the USWNT Futures Camp earlier this month, where she was one of 24 players called up by Emma Hayes.

    Between her collegiate accolades and presence in the USYNT system, she had career options. Choosing Dallas to jumpstart her professional career is intentional, and shows a different choice than the typical NWSL or abroad routes

    Missimo grew up playing for Dallas' Solar Soccer Club and was the No. 1 recruit out of highschool in 2021, before she reclassified to the class of 2020. On the Under-14 and Under-23 level, she's represented the USYNT 32 times - nd 2022 was a notable year for her as she scored three goals in seven appearances at the 2022 CONCACAF Women's Under-20 Championship, leading her team to gold.
