Undoubtedly. Incredible accomplishment.

 

[knightfan7]

Congrats to Carli. A great day for her, Rutgers, and the state of New Jersey.

 

[RU23]

Hamm (twice) and Wambach (once) are the only other Americans to win it. And there was really no doubt about it. Carli was without question the best player in the world this year, and she showed it on the biggest stage possible! Congrats Carli!

 

[BigLou]

No brainer but still an incredible honor for Carli.

Congratulations to Carli. What an honor to receive such an award.

 

[RU1977]

Did she win Womens Player of the Year or Player of the Year overall?

Congrats!!!!!

 

[RutgersMO]

Any chance someone on this board with connections to the NEW AD can let him know about this. Would be nice to have an alum honored at one of our 250th celebrations this year: i.e. half-time at homecoming?

Congrats!!!!!

FIFA gives separate awards for men and women.

 

[RU1977]

Thanks - original title said "Player of the Year"

Well deserved!!!!

 

[DHajekRC84]

Extremely well deserved. Would like to see something meaningful at soccer stadium to honer her.

 

[lighty]

it's awesome whenever a play has a game like she did in a Final... well deserved recognition for her

Great Idea>>> It takes winners to make winners!
Great award to a great Player Go Carli

 

[scarletcrew]

Congratulations Carli!

 

[rudad02]

Terrific! Congrats Carli! Very heart felt & humble remarks by Carli in accepting the Award. RU should really do something in her honor if she is acceptable to it.

Great award to a great Player Go Carli

She should be honored at a Women's soccer game.

 

[imbazza2]

She should be honored at a Women's soccer game.

No pain in Doing BOTH.
Maybe, at a FB game have a Jersey Girls Soccer Appreciation Day.
Get past and present RU players and highlight it with an Distinguished RU athletes award going to Carli.

Hey we need to bootstrap all sports. Keep our girls home Too!
New coaches, new ideas, now era, just try something NEW
Even if you pull the wrong way "HIT SOMEONE" an ole guard saying

Oh my God,you are dead on. It really should be at a football game with 50,000 there to honor her, and showcase the sport to as many young girls as possible. Best player in the WORLD,from the State of New Jersey!!!

 

[Extra Point]

Carli for President of the United States!

 

[MadRU]

Congrats to one of our own. Mount Rushmore

 

[RoxboroughKnight]

Awesome recognition for Carli. And a no-brainer that she would win this year. She was dominant all year.

 

[newell138]

all in all a very good season for womens soccer

 

[RUONTHERISE]

Great news! Congrats Carli!

All good ideas. Here's another: have a 10-minute "exhibition" of the best HS girls from NJ at halftime. I'd actually watch that (I never watch the band).

 

[GeorgeStreet]

Best "Rutgers" news in a long time.

 

[miker183]

Well deserved.

 

[srru86]

Nice job.

Does somebody who follows Futbol/FIFA have an opinion if there was a single gender award would Carli deserve that? Can't imagine many other players had a bigger impact on their team than her this past year.

Btw: No one is going to comment on the color of the dress?
