Lindsay Ann Tarpley Snow ({{nee|Tarpley}}; born September 22, 1983) is an American former professional soccer forward and midfielder. She is a two-time Olympic gold medalist, winning gold at the 2004 Athens and 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics, and was a member of the United States national team that finished third at the 2007 Women's World Cup in China.
Early life
Born in Madison, Wisconsin, Tarpley grew up in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and attended Portage Central High School from 1998 to 2002. During her freshman season, she helped her school's women's soccer team reach the state semi-finals.{{Cite web|url=http://www.mhsaa.com/sports/gso/99reg.html|title=MHSAA: 1999 Girls Soccer Regional/Semifinals/Finals|access-date=August 5, 2008|publisher=MHSAA.com (Michigan High School Athletic Association Website)|year=1999|author=MHSAA}} In the following spring, she led her team to an undefeated season and the state championship. Against Bishop Foley Catholic High School in the final match, she scored her team's first goal and assisted on her team's other two, including the winning shot in the penalty shootout.{{Cite web|url=http://www.mhsaa.com/sports/gso/00gso2.html|title=MHSAA: 2000 Girls Soccer Division 2 Final|access-date=August 5, 2008|publisher=MHSAA.com (Michigan High School Athletic Association Website)|year=2000|author=MHSAA}} She received several honors during her time there, including being named the 2002 Michigan Gatorade Player of the Year and the 2002 U.S. Soccer Chevrolet Young Female Player of the Year, in addition to being a 1999 NSCAA All-American and a Parade All-American in 2001 and 2002. She also played varsity basketball for Portage Central, starting at point guard during all four of her seasons.
While in high school, Tarpley played for W-League side Kalamazoo Quest in 1998 and 1999.
=North Carolina Tar Heels=
In the autumn of 2002, Tarpley enrolled at the University of North Carolina. While there, she majored in communications and minored in coaching. She was a student-athlete, and competed with the university's North Carolina Tar Heels women's soccer team. In her first season with the team, she was named ACC Rookie of the Year and the Soccer America and Soccer Buzz National Freshman of the Year.
During her sophomore season, Tarpley led the nation in total points (goals and assists) while leading the Tar Heels to the 2003 NCAA Women's Soccer Championship. Against Connecticut Huskies in the finals, she scored two goals and had two assists en route to winning the title. She received numerous honors for her performance throughout the 2003 season, including ACC Player of the Year and Player of the Tournament, National Player of the Year, and several All-America team honors.
Injuries interfered with Tarpley's junior and senior seasons, which reduced her playing time. Tarpley still managed to be named to the All-ACC and NSCAA All-America teams in both seasons.
Tarpley finished her North Carolina career with 59 goals and 59 assists. Her number 25 jersey was retired by the school in February 2006 during the halftime of a North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball game. {{citation needed|date=December 2012}}
Club career
=W-League=
Tarpley played for the New Jersey Wildcats in 2005, where she played alongside Tobin Heath, Christine Latham, Karina LeBlanc, Heather O'Reilly, Cat Whitehill, Rachel Yankey, and a number of other international players. She played in five games (374 minutes) for the club, and scored two goals with two assists.
=Women's Professional Soccer=
Upon the creation of a new top-flight women's league in the United States, Tarpley agreed to join Women's Professional Soccer. She was allocated to Chicago Red Stars along with USWNT players Carli Lloyd and Kate Markgraf. In the inaugural 2009 Women's Professional Soccer season, Tarpley appeared in 17 games (16 starts, 1321 total minutes) and scored four goals and four assists.
On January 15, 2010, Lindsay was traded to the Saint Louis Athletica in exchange for goalkeeper Jillian Loyden. With the Athletica, she joined former North Carolina Tar Heel standouts Lori Chalupny, Kendall Fletcher and Kristina Larsen.
She became a free agent on June 1, 2010, with the dissolution of the Saint Louis Athletica. On June 3, it was announced by the Boston Breakers that they had signed Tarpley. She then signed for magicJack ahead of the 2011 Women's Professional Soccer season.
Following her ACL injury in 2011, Tarpley was selected by the Chicago Red Stars in the 2013 NWSL Supplemental Draft but waived by the team in March 2014.{{cite news|url=https://equalizersoccer.com/2013/07/02/lindsaytarpley-thinking-long-term-hopeful-to-join-nwsl-chicago-red-stars/|title=Tarpley thinking long-term, hopeful to join NWSL|date=2013-07-02|website=The Equalizer|access-date=2024-01-29}}{{cite news|url=https://equalizersoccer.com/2014/03/09/nwsl-preseason-2014-begins-photos-video/|title=NWSL preseason camps begin on Monday|date=2014-03-09|website=The Equalizer|access-date=2024-01-29}}
International career
Tarpley began her international career representing the United States on the U-16 Girls National Team. From there, she successfully moved to the United States U-19 team in 2002. She played in the 2002 FIFA U-19 Women's World Championship, the first FIFA-sanctioned youth tournament for women, and scored the title-clinching goal in extra time against Canada. She made 26 total appearances and scored 24 goals.
Tarpley soon moved to the United States U-21 team, where she made 8 appearances and scored 4 goals. Half of her goals were scored at the 2003 Nordic Cup, while the other half was at the 2005 Nordic Cup.
Tarpley first appeared for the senior team on January 12, 2003, against Japan. Her first (and second) goal came a little over a year later on January 30, 2004, against Sweden. She appeared in the 2004 and 2008 editions of the Olympic Games, winning a gold medal on each trip. She has also played in the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup, in which the United States finished third. She earned her 100th cap on July 16, 2008, against Brazil in the last game before the 2008 Olympics, the 23rd player in USWNT history to reach this feat.{{cite web |url=http://www.ussoccer.com/News/Womens-National-Team/2008/07/Kai-Scores-Late-Header-To-Give-U-S-Women-1-0-Win-Over-Brazil-Top-Scorer-Abby-Wambach-Breaks-Leg-And.aspx |title=Kai Scores Late Header to Give U.S. Women 1–0 Win Over Brazil; Top Scorer Abby Wambach Breaks Leg and is Out of the Olympics |date=July 17, 2008 |publisher=United States Soccer Federation |access-date=November 10, 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090917171328/http://www.ussoccer.com/News/Womens-National-Team/2008/07/Kai-Scores-Late-Header-To-Give-U-S-Women-1-0-Win-Over-Brazil-Top-Scorer-Abby-Wambach-Breaks-Leg-And.aspx |archive-date=September 17, 2009 |df=mdy-all }}
A torn anterior cruciate ligament sustained in a warm-up match with Japan saw Tarpley ruled out of the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup.{{Cite web|url=http://www.ussoccer.com/News/Womens-National-Team/2011/05/Tarplely-Injury.aspx|title=U.S. Midfielder Lindsay Tarpley Tears Knee Ligament|publisher=ussoccer.com|date=May 15, 2011|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120705075317/http://www.ussoccer.com/News/Womens-National-Team/2011/05/Tarplely-Injury.aspx|archive-date=July 5, 2012|df=mdy-all}}
