Solo Stands Alone

Hope Solo won the MVP award at the year's largest women's tournament, in Portugal last spring.

Although the USWNT played a short international schedule, Hope only allowed one goal in 2009 for the team.

She also earned Goal Keeper of the Year of the new domestic league.

And now she is your US Soccer Female Athlete of the Year.
