Early life

[edit]

Born in Los Angeles to Cody and Stacy Press, Christen was raised in the suburb of Palos Verdes Estates with her two sisters, Channing and Tyler.[3] Both of her parents played different sports: Cody was an American football player at Dartmouth and Stacy was a tennis player.[4][5] She began playing soccer at age five[6] and later attended Chadwick School for high school.[7][8]

As a two-year team captain and four-year starter of her high school's soccer team, Press led Chadwick to two Southern Section Division IV titles. She also lettered in track and tennis.[9] In 2006, she was named NSCAA High School All-American and Parade Magazine All-American. During her high school career, she scored 128 goals, including 38 her junior year alone (a school record). She was named Southern Section Division IV Offensive Player of the Year twice and was a four-time Prep League Offensive MVP.[9]

Press played club soccer for Slammers FC of Newport Beach, California, and won the Golden Boot for most goals scored in the US Youth Soccer Association's national championship tournament.[9][10]

Stanford Cardinal (2007–2010)

[edit]

Press is the all-time leading scorer for the Stanford Cardinal women's soccer team with 71 goals.[11] While playing for the Cardinal, she broke school records for career points[A] (183), assists (41), and shots (500); as well as single-season records for goals (26), shots (180), and game-winning goals (10).[9] She was Stanford's second Hermann Trophy winner and a two-time runner-up at the NCAA Women's College Cup.

As a freshman, Press started 18 games for Stanford. She led the team in assists (6) and ranked second in goals (8), points (22) and shots (60). One of her biggest highlights of the year came in the first round of the NCAA College Cup when she scored the fastest goal in team history in the 37th second of the match. She scored twice and also assisted on another goal in the team's 7–0 victory.[9] Press was named Pac-10 Freshman of the Year and earned first-team Freshman All-American honors.[12]

During her sophomore year, Press was one of only five players in the squad to start every game of the season. She scored 16 goals and had 11 assists, while her total of 43 points ranked second in school history. In the College Cup quarterfinal against the Portland Pilots, Press scored the lone goal of the match in the 86th minute to send the Cardinal to the Final Four. She was the only player from the Cardinal squad to be named to the NCAA College Cup All-Tournament Team.[9]

During her third season with the Cardinal, Press set new program records for assists (16) and shots (143). Seven of her 21 goals during the 2009 season were game-winning goals. Her 58 points raised the bar that she set during the previous season for the second-highest point total in a single season and ranked third in the nation.[9] Press also broke her previous record for fastest goal scored in Stanford history after scoring 23 seconds into a match against BYU.[9] In the College Cup, she scored the golden goal and had an assist in the Cardinal's 2–1 overtime win against the UCLA Bruins to send them into their first-ever cup final.[13] They went on to lose the final to the North Carolina Tar Heels, after Press's apparent game-tying goal in the 89th minute was ruled offside.[14] At the end of the season, Press was named to the All-Pac-10 first team and was a semi-finalist for the Hermann Trophy.[9][15]

In her senior year, Press was the recipient of the 2010 Hermann Trophy for being the nation's top college soccer player. This marked the second consecutive win for a Stanford player following Kelley O'Hara in 2009.[16][17] Press led the nation in both goals and points, while the club obtained a 23–1–2 record overall. Their only loss in 2010 came in the last match of the season in the College Cup final, which was Stanford's second consecutive runner-up finish.[18] Press was also named Soccer America Player of the Year,[19] Pac-10 Player of the Year, and earned All-Pac-10 first team and National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) first-team All-American honors.[16][20] She displayed academic proficiency as well, receiving Academic All-America honors and winning the Pac-10's Scholar-Athlete of the Year for soccer.[16]

Press was drafted to the Washington Freedom as the fourth overall pick in the 2011 WPS Draft.[21][22] Under new ownership, the team moved to Florida and was renamed magicJack. She scored her first goal in the 64th minute of magicJack's 2–0 victory over the Atlanta Beat in May. Of the goal, Press said, "It was so good to finish. Being a forward, we go into every game thinking our job is to score, so it's nice to finally get that accomplished."[23] During a 4–0 win against the Boston Breakers in July, Press scored her first hat trick in a professional match.[24][25] After losing in the semifinal of the playoffs, she was awarded the U.S. Soccer Federation's Rookie of the Year award in part for being the first-ever rookie to have a hat trick.[26] Press finished the season having started in 16 of the 19 games in which she appeared for magicJack.[27] Her eight goals ranked third in the league.[28] During the offseason, Press signed with the Atlanta Beat; however, the league suspended operations before the season began.[29][30]

Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC (2012)

[edit]

After Women's Professional Soccer folded in early 2012, Press signed a new professional contract with Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC in the Damallsvenskan, the top division league in Sweden.[31] Her first game with Göteborg was a 2011–12 UEFA Women's Champions League quarterfinal match against Arsenal that ended in a 3–1 loss.[32]

During her regular season debut with Göteborg on April 10 against Djurgården, she scored two goals (a brace), with her first goal coming in the fifth minute of the match.[33] Later in the month, she scored another brace, this time with the goals scored five minutes apart in the team's 6–0 victory over KIF Örebro.[34] In August, Press recorded her third brace, this time scoring two minutes apart as Göteborg defeated Umeå 5–0.[35] Press ended the year as the second-highest scorer in the Damallsvenskan with 17 league goals, behind only Anja Mittag, and scored a total of 25 in all competitions.[36]

During the quarterfinals of the Swedish Cup, Press scored two goals in a 3–0 victory over Kristianstad.[37] In the semifinals, her thirteenth-minute goal helped Göteborg defeat LdB Malmö 2–1 and progress to the championship final.[38] Göteborg won the championship over Tyresö FF by a score of 2–1 after extra time, with Press involved in both goals. She scored in the ninth minute of the game and then drew a penalty in the added time, which Marlene Sjöberg converted to secure the cup.[39][40]

Tyresö FF (2013–2014)

[edit]

In early 2013, Press signed with Damallsvenskan champions, Tyresö FF, in Stockholm.[41] For the second consecutive season, she scored a goal in her regular season debut.[42] Press scored four goals in a 10–2 win over Sunnanå SK.[43][44] During the team's next match, she scored two goals helping the team defeat Jitex BK 7–0.[45] On June 9, 2013, she scored a hat trick during the squad's 5–1 win over Kristianstads DFF.[46] After following up with a pair of goals scored in each of Tyresö's next two matches, Press scored her second and third hat tricks of the season, the second in a 5–0 win over Jitex BK on August 24,[47] and the following in an eventual 8–0 win against Sunnanå IF.[48] During the team's last match of the regular season, Press scored twice against her former team, Göteborg FC, helping Tyresö win 4–1.[49]

Press finished the season as the top scorer in the league with 23 goals, becoming the first American to do so in the history of the Damallsvenskan.[50] Tyresö finished second during the regular season with a 14–6–2 record and thus qualified for the 2014–15 UEFA Women's Champions League.[50] In October, Press scored Tyresö's only two goals during the 2013–14 UEFA Women's Champions League's Round of 32 match, securing a 2–1 aggregate win over French side Paris Saint-Germain Féminines, and sending her team to the Round of 16.[51] In 2013, she scored three times in the Svenska Cupen and nine times in the 2013–14 UEFA Women's Champions League competitions, for a total goal tally of 37.[52] Her nine goals scored in the Champions League helped lift the team to the 2014 UEFA Women's Champions League Final where they lost 4–3 to VfL Wolfsburg.[53]

[edit]

In January 2014, the Chicago Red Stars announced that Press would be joining their roster for the 2014 season following the conclusion of her time with Tyresö in the 2013–14 Champions League.[54] After Press joined the team in late May (two months into the 2014 NWSL season), she scored a team-high of six goals while playing in only 12 matches and was awarded the team's Golden Boot.[55] During a match on July 4 against reigning champions Portland Thorns FC at Providence Park, she scored two goals in the last fifteen minutes to equalize the score, after being down 2–0 at halftime.[56] On August 16, she scored another brace with goals in the 17th and 60th minutes helping Chicago draw 3–3 against Western New York Flash.[57] Chicago finished fifth during the regular season with a 9–7–8 record.[58] Press was named to the league's second XI team by players, coaches, and media.[59]

Press returned to the Chicago Red Stars for the 2015 season. During the team's first home match against Seattle Reign FC, she scored a brace and assisted a goal scored by Jen Hoy, resulting in a 3–2 win.[60] She was subsequently named the league's NWSL Player of the Week for week two of the season.[61] On April 25, Press scored two early goals in a drawn match against Portland. At the end of April, having recorded four goals and one assist, Press was the league's goal leader and was named NWSL Player of the Month.[62] Press missed the next eight games due to her participation in the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup. After returning, she scored four goals in a three-game span, including a brace in the Red Stars' 2–2 draw with FC Kansas City on August 1.[63]

During the 2016 season, Press was named captain and tallied eight goals in 14 games.[27] She scored a goal in the NWSL Playoffs, though the Red Stars were eliminated after a 2–1 loss to the Washington Spirit in extra time.[64]

[edit]

In March 2018, Press signed a three-month contract with her former club Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC, though the Dash still held her NWSL rights.[72][73] After scoring four goals in three games, Press was named Damallsvenskan Player of the Month for April.[74] In May, she scored a brace in the team's 3–1 win against IF Limhamn Bunkeflo.[75] On June 19, the team announced an agreement with NWSL expansion club, Utah Royals FC, to end her contract early so she could join the Royals for the remainder of the 2018 season.[76]

Utah Royals FC (2018–2020)

[edit]

On June 18, Utah Royals FC announced they had acquired the rights to Press in a trade that sent Brooke Elby and six draft picks to the Chicago Red Stars.[77] She made her debut on June 27 in a 0–0 draw against the Seattle Reign.[78] Press appeared in 11 games during the Royals' 2018 season, and scored 2 goals.[79] The Royals finished in fifth place during their inaugural season, missing a berth to the NWSL Playoffs by two points.[80][81]

Press began the 2019 NWSL season assisting Lo'eau LaBonta's goal in a 1–0 over the Washington Spirit in Utah's season opener. The following week, Press scored the only goal in 1–0 Royals victory over the Orlando Pride. Press was named to the NWSL Team of the Month for April.[82] She recorded a goal or assist in her first five games of the season but, due to her participation in the 2019 Women's World Cup and subsequent Victory Tour, missed 11 Utah games during the season. Press was named NWSL Player of the Week for Week 17 and later named NWSL Player of the Month for August, her second player of the month award.[83][84] Press finished second on the team in scoring with 8 goals and was named to the end of season NWSL Best XI, her fourth time being named to the Best XI.[85]

With the 2020 season disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, Press elected not to participate in the 2020 NWSL Challenge Cup.[86]

On November 12, 2020, having left Press unprotected, Utah lost her NWSL rights to Racing Louisville FC during the 2020 NWSL Expansion Draft.[87][88]

Press suffered an ACL injury in June 2022 in a NWSL match against Racing Louisville which required four surgeries to repair. She missed the entire 2023 season and returned to training with the Angel City senior team on June 11, 2024, 2 years to the day since she originally tore her ACL.[97][98] Press made her return to the field 781 days after her injury on August 2, 2024 in a NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup group stage match against the San Diego Wave.[99] The match ended in a scoreless draw, and Press converted her penalty kick in the ensuing shootout, which Angel City won.[100] On October 12, 2024, Press came on as a second-half substitute against the North Carolina Courage and scored her first regular season goal for Angel City since she tore her ACL at the 90+7' minute, a match that ultimately ended in a draw.

After missing a series of friendlies against Colombia in January through illness,[158] Press was recalled to the USWNT squad in February for the 2021 SheBelieves Cup.[159][160] She appeared in all three games and scored twice in victories over Brazil and Argentina as the United States retained the SheBelieves Cup.[161] In June 2021, Press was named in the 18-player United States Women's soccer team roster for the delayed 2020 Tokyo Olympics.[162] She appeared in all six matches for the United States in the tournament, which saw the team take home the bronze medal on August 5 following their 4–3 victory over Australia.[163] Press scored and also forced an own-goal in the team's 6-1 group stage win over New Zealand on July 24, and converted a penalty kick in the team's quarter-final shootout win over the Netherlands on July 30.[164][165] Press tallied a total of six goals and five assists in 2021 for the United States.[166]

2021–present

[edit]

Press announced via social media on September 9, 2021, that she, despite being called up, would not take part in the upcoming international windows, stating that she needed a few months break to focus on her mental health and spiritual growth.[167] Ahead of two abroad friendlies vs Australia in November 2021, former USWNT head coach Vlatko Andonovski opted to leave a core group of veteran players off of his 22-player roster, which included Press.[168] As a result of this decision, Press subsequently was not included in the 23-player roster for the 2022 SheBelieves Cup in February.[169] On June 13, 2022, Press was not included in the 23-player roster ahead of the 2022 CONCACAF W Championship.[170] This decision sparked some confusion amongst media and fans, many of whom questioned Andonovski after Press had been logging consistent minutes for Angel City FC in the months leading up. When questioned by reporters on omitting Press, Andonovski claimed that she was performing well, but not out-performing the players in front of her.[171] Press ultimately suffered an ACL tear with her club team on June 11, 2022, and will remain unavailable for national team selection while she recovers.[172]

Personal life

[edit]

Since 2015, Press has been in a relationship with USWNT and former Manchester United W.F.C. teammate Tobin Heath.[173][174]

On November 22, 2021, amidst the 2021 NWSL abuse scandal, Press alleged abuse against former Chicago Red Stars manager Rory Dames. Press revealed in an article by The Washington Post that she had tried to speak up about Dames' behavior in 2014 to former US Soccer President Sunil Gulati, but her "concerns were dismissed." Press went on to say that her request for a trade from the Chicago Red Stars in 2017 was due to Dames' treatment of her, and in 2018, she filed a complaint against him to US Soccer.[175] The NWSL Players Association released a statement in support of Press and Press' former Red Stars teammates Jen Hoy and Sam Johnson, who came forward with similar allegations.[176]

[edit]

Media and endorsements

[edit]

Press has appeared in several advertisements and promotional pieces for Nike.[177][178] In 2014, she was featured in a promo for Wheaties.[179] In May 2015, she starred in television commercials for Coppertone.[180][181] She became a brand ambassador for nutritional product manufacturer Genesis Today in February 2016.[182] In January 2018, she partnered with Hydrive Energy Water.[183][184]

Press' likeness appeared on The Simpsons along with teammates Alex Morgan and Abby Wambach in May 2015.[185] The same year, she starred in the short film, An Equal Playing Field.[186][187] She has been featured in a number of magazines including Self,[188] Howler,[189] Shape,[190] Darling Magazine[191] and Glamour.[192] In 2015, she was featured on the covers of Sports Illustrated and Yoga Digest.[193][194] In 2016, Press posed nude for the ESPN's annual The Body Issue magazine.[195]

Press was featured with her national teammates in the EA Sports' FIFA video game series in FIFA 16, the first time women players were included in the game.[196] In October 2015, she was announced as a host for FOX Sports' @The Buzzer[197] and led a Chicago Cubs crowd in singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" along with teammates Julie Ertz and Lori Chalupny.[198]

Ticker tape parade and White House honor

[edit]

Following the United States' win at the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup, Press and her teammates became the first women's sports team to be honored with a ticker tape parade in New York City.[199] Each player received a key to the city from Mayor Bill de Blasio.[200] In October of the same year, the team was honored by President Barack Obama at the White House.[201]
