Olympic Champion: Sonnett Helps Team USA Win Soccer Gold Medal

The most decorated athlete in Fellowship Christian School history, Emily Sonnett has helped Team USA Women’s Soccer Team capture the Gold Medal at the XXXIII Olympics, held in Paris, France. It is Sonnett’s second Olympic medal.

Sonnett played in Team USA’s 1-0 victory over Brazil on Aug. 10, 2024.

During the 2024 Summer Olympics, Sonnett played in six games for Team USA, including two starts. She helped Team USA finish with a 6-0 record in the Olympics.

Since graduating from Fellowship Christian School in 2012, Sonnett has a storied post-high school soccer career.

Sonnett, who graduated from the University of Virginia in 2016, was the top overall selection in the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) draft held on Jan. 15, 2016. She became the first FCS graduate to be selected first overall in any professional sports league draft.

A defender, Sonnett was also the first Fellowship athlete to be selected for an Olympic team (she was an alternate for Team USA at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), and was the first graduate to earn an Olympic medal as Team USA brought home the bronze at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo (held from July 22-Aug. 7, 2021).

She has played in the NWSL since 2016.

During her professional career, Sonnett has claimed two NWSL Championships with the Portland Thorns FC in 2017 and the Washington Spirit in 2021. She is a current member of NJ/NY Gotham FC and was on the U.S. Team that won the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup and is a seven-time winner of the invitational SheBelievesCup.

A two-time state runner-up while at Fellowship, Emily was named the 2011-12 Gatorade Georgia Girls Soccer Player of the Year, 2011 Youth All-American by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America, and ESPN Rise 1st Team All-American in 2011 and 2012.
