North Carolina '13Emily Parros is making the most of her second chance with the U.S. national team program.
Parros thought her U.S. team career was done after a one-year stint following her graduation from North Carolina in 2013. But when her college coach, Jenny Levy, took over the U.S. team program she decided to make another run at it. It's paid off as the versatile midfielder has become a key force for the USA.
A prolific scorer at Strath Haven (Pa.) High School, scoring over 600 points, Parros has evolved her game over the years into a do-it-all player who uses her coaching experience to be one of the smartest players on the field.
