Meagan McCray

Meagan Kelly McCray (born June 17, 1987) is a retired American former soccer goalkeeper.

Early life and education McCray was born in Greenbrae, California and grew up in Novato, California. She attended San Marin High School. She later attended Santa Clara University and played for the Broncos women's soccer team for four years. McCray was an All-WCC honorable mention in her sophomore and senior seasons. McCray was selected as Santa Clara's Player of the Year, Defense MVP, and most inspirational player in her 2008 senior season.

McCray signed as a free agent with FC Gold Pride of Women's Professional Soccer in 2009. She didn't make an appearance for the club, spending the majority of the season out injured with a separated shoulder.

After being released by FC Gold Pride, McCray joined Washington Freedom for the 2010 season following an invitation to try out for the club from then coach Jim Gabarra. McCray would serve as a developmental player, a reserve that could be activated if a member of the 18 active player roster is injured on a given match day. She was the Freedom's third string goalie behind two players with international experience. Washington's starter Erin McLeod was Canada national team starting goalkeeper, and the back up goalkeeper was United States national team legend Briana Scurry. Following the WPS season, McCray was invited to play in Brandi Chastain's retirement match, which included her making a save on former US national team player Mia Hamm.

McCray moved to Iceland in 2011 to play for Úrvalsdeild team Valur. McCray started for Valur in their 2011–12 UEFA Women's Champions League tournament home and away ties against Glasgow City. Valur would be eliminated 4–1 on aggregate.

International career McCray represented the United States as multiple youth national team levels, from the U-16 to U-23. She served as an alternate for the US at the 2004 FIFA U-19 Women's World Championship.
