Playing career

Club In March 1999 Keller signed for Danish Elitedivisionen team Fortuna Hjørring, scoring on her debut on April 1, 1999. She received a letter of intent from Women's United Soccer Association, but did not join the new league because of Dorrance's involvement in it.

International Keller played for the United States women's national soccer team from 1995 to 1999. In 1998, her 14 goals ranked third on the team behind Mia Hamm and Tiffeny Milbrett. She was cut from the team before the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup and unsuccessfully took legal action to be reinstated, suggesting her exclusion by coach Tony DiCicco had been a retaliation for the Dorrance lawsuit.

Personal life After retiring from soccer, Keller went to beauty school to become a hairstylist. She was married in 2001 to Chris Hill.
