ELISE KRONE

Years at FC United -->2012-2022

College Bio --> Marquette University and am a rising senior with two more years of eligibility. I will take my 5th year and graduate in December of 2027 with my MBA. 

Unforgettable FCU Moment --> GK union. I eventually wrote my college essay about the dynamics of the union, old rooster crow young rooster learn (see attached). After being on both sides of that, I’ve developed sisterhoods that have carried through my college career and have unrelentingly supported me through one of the biggest learning curves people can experience.

ANNIE WELCH

College Bio --> Yale University 2025, B. A. Architecture, played 2 seasons on the varsity women’s soccer team before medically retiring, participated in a webinar on college athletics and concussions for The Drake Group, member of Supporting Student Athletes at Yale (SSAY)

Unforgettable FCU Moment --> Away trips for the Girls Academy. This is where most of our fun and team bonding occurred! However, my favorite memory with an FCU coach would be the big hug Stan gave me after I verbally committed to school while at a college showcase in Denver with my team.

CHAZ BOND

Years at FC United --> 2010-2020

College Bio --> NYU and my favorite moment was shutting out U-Chicago to pull off a big upset. Made some big saves and performing well in my hometown was a great feeling. Coolest part about playing in college was the comradory of the team and seeing my teammates consistently even after we've graduated.

Unforgettable FCU Moment --> Playing against Solar when they were the defending national champions and undefeated. Our team really came together and it was super rewarding to see the hours of training pay off.

Wynne Hague

Years at FC United --> 2014-2020

College Bio --> She appeared in 30 matches with 25 starts, compiling over a dozen shutouts and consistently ranking among the conference’s top shot-stoppers. After earning her first collegiate win and shutout as a first-year in 2021, she emerged as a full-time starter in 2022, posting a standout 0.78 goals-against average and an .818 save percentage—both among the best in the conference. Despite a preseason injury sidelining her in 2023, she returned in 2024 to make 11 appearances and contribute to six more shutouts while recording a .739 save percentage.

Unforgettable FCU Moment --> Traveling to tournaments in Arizona, North Carolina, and Florida. It was always so exciting to compete in new states and make lasting memories with teammates.

CAROLINE HAGUE

Years at FC United --> 2014-2024

College Bio --> Denison University

Unforgettable FCU Moment --> A moment I will never forget at FCU was when my team and I won the State Cup Final in 2023. As soon as the final whistle blew everyone rushed the field and it was such an amazing feeling!

MIRA ISSAR

Years at FC United --> 2018-2023

College Bio --> University of Wisconsin

Unforgettable FCU Moment --> When we travelled away for our California showcase tournament, and we all walked to dinner as a team, no parents or coaches. After we ate our dinner, we didn’t really want to walk all the way home and somehow found a trolley that we prayed would go back to our hotel. After taking us all around the city, which was really pretty, we finally got to the hotel, and it was a really fun experience because it was team bonding, because we didn’t know if we were getting kidnapped or even going the right way.
