From Washington Husky, to current starting goalie for the Saint Louis Athletica, Hope Solo has had a glorious soccer career.  Interestingly, Hope Solo’s stats have remained fairly consistent over her college and professional career. 

 

A starter for nearly her entire four-year college career, Solo’s numbers were sensational from the minute she stepped onto Washington’s campus to the time she graduated; here are the stats:

 

Freshman Year 1999 – 12 Games/1095 Minutes/77 Saves/20 Goals/1.64 GAA/3 SO

 

Sophomore Year 2000 – 21 Games/1768 Minutes/95 Saves/15 Goals/0.76 GAA/6 SO

 

Junior Year 2001 – 17 Games/1590 Minutes/77 Saves/12 Goals/0.68 GAA/7 SO

 

Senior Year 2002 – 18 Games/1632 Minutes/76 Saves/22 Goals/1.21 GAA/2 SO

 

Now let’s compare her college stats to her 2009 campaign with the Athletica:

 

17 Games/1530 Minutes/84 Saves/14 Goals/0.82 GAA/8 SO    

 

As you can see, Solo’s best year in college arguably was her junior year during which she allowed only 12 goals over 17 games, representing her lowest GAA and including 7 shutouts.  These numbers are remarkably similar to her 2009 stat line with the Athletica.  Both years, she started 17 games, played 1500+ minutes, and posted similar saves, goals, GAA and shutouts. 

 

This just goes to show that Hope hasn’t lost a step over the past 10 years!  This writer looks forward to following Hope’s continued success.
