| #24 Goalkeeper Ashley Phillips |
WPS I joined the Breakers as a developmental player in 2009 and am currently their starting keeper, making my debut on April 11 against the Washington Freedom in the WPS 2010 season opener.
Women's Premier Soccer League I was the starting keeper for the Boston Aztec of the Women’s Premier Soccer League in 2009, earning 7 shutouts in 10 games. The Aztecs had an undefeated regular season 9-0-1.
US National Team I played with the US Women’s National U-16, U-17, U-19, U-21 and U23 teams where I had a chance to compete against Mexico, Scotland, Germany and England. I aspire to earn a position on the US Women’s National Team.
W-League
I spent six years playing in the W-League for the Boston Renegades
(2002-06) earning the league most minutes in goal (1171) in 2004, and the
Atlanta Silverbacks (2008) where
we went undefeated during
the regular season and I recorded 5 shutouts in 6 games.
College As a four-year starting goalkeeper at Clemson University, SC (2004-2007), playing in the competitive Atlantic Coast Conference, I currently hold the school’s record for most career saves with 326, including a single-season high of 119 in 2006 when I was named third-team All-America. I was a three-time All-Southeast region pick and three-time All-ACC selection, including first-team All-ACC in 2007. I finished my career with a 1.09 goals against average and 22 shutouts and helped lead the Tigers to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Women’s Soccer Championship in 2006. I graduated from Clemson with a Bachelor of Science degree in Sociology in December 2008.
High School I attended Bishop Fenwick High School in Peabody, MA where I was the starting GK #99 at Fenwick in the Div 2 North Semi-Final when I made my Schmeichel goal off a corner kick in the last 2 minutes to tie the game and gain enough momentum for my team to win in overtime. I transferred to the academically prestigious Milton Academy, MA my junior year in preparation to play at a Division 1 College in the highly competitive ACC. I earned several All-America Team awards during my high school years, including the 2003 Gatorade Massachusetts High School Player of the Year, but more importantly I learned that I was a much stronger soccer player than student. Milton was a humbling academic experience, but well worth the effort. College was less intimidating for me because of my Milton experience.
Club, Travel & Youth Soccer I was a Peabody Youth Soccer and Travel team member, as well as a club team player for Northeast Futbol and the Spirit of Massachusetts. I was subsequently selected for Mass Youth Soccer ODP, Regional and District teams, which provided an opportunity for me to advance to the Women’s US Youth National Teams.
