Highlighting an eight-year international career, Mary Harvey played every minute of the first FIFA Women's World Cup in China, earning three shutouts on her way to six U.S. victories, including the 2-1 win over archrival Norway in the final. She also was a member of the 1996 Olympic team that won the first women's gold medal in the sport.
The 5-foot-9 Mary Harvey made 27 appearances for the USWNT, recording 13 clean sheets and conceding only 13 goals. Her record was a sterling 21W-1L-2D, with three non-decisions in matches where she shared netminding duties.
After hanging up her gloves for good in 1996, Harvey made a major impact in the second act of her soccer career as an administrator, serving as Chief Operating Officer of Women’s Professional Soccer, FIFA and several human rights and environmentally conscious organizations.
In 2017, Harvey made history as the first woman to win the Werner Fricker Builder Award, the highest honor that can be bestowed upon an individual by the U.S. Soccer Federation.
