Beneath the Lights

Briana Scurry's career actually started on the boys soccer team. Girls soccer wasn't a thing yet in her small town of Dayton, Minnesota but that didn't stop the determined athlete from giving the sport a shot. We all know how that turned out for her. #olympian #worldcupchampion Sarah Fuller's decision to suit up with the boys, kicking for the Vanderbilt football team, came after the COVID-19 pandemic left some holes on the Commodores' roster -- and just weeks after the college goalkeeper helped her team win their first SEC championship since 1994. The morning of July 8th, the two trailblazers met for the first time: Sarah logging on from a hotel room in Green Bay, Wisconsin where her team -- Minnesota Aurora FC -- was preparing for their last match of the USL-W regular season. Across the country in southern California, Bri was in her hotel room preparing for her role as analyst for CBS Sports coverage of the CONCACAF W tournament. This special coverage comes to you thanks to the support of Pentz Homes of Keller Williams Classic Realty NW. It was produced with the help of Lindsay Guentzel, Wes Burdine and Corey Schreppel.

It was a whirlwind first season on the pitch for Minnesota Aurora. We sit down with Aurora's Head Coach Nicole Lukic and Assistant Coach Jennie Clark to talk about how the season went from their perspective. Then they give a preview of what year 2 will provide.

From Wayzata High School to DePaul University to Minnesota Aurora FC, Forward Morgan Turner has been scoring goals. She was Aurora's top goal scorer and experienced the heartbreak of the loss in the USL W League Championship. But two days later, she was on a plane to Portugal, having signed a professional contract. We catch up with her as she lights up the league in Portugal with 4 goals in 4 games.
