She helped hurl the Cardinal to the 2019 national championship. Meyer made two crucial saves in the title-deciding penalty shootout against North Carolina, an achievement that the Associated Press named one of the top 10 plays of the year.
In the 2021 season, she began all 20 of Stanford’s games and allowed only 17 goals.
Off the field, Meyer was an international relations major, with minor studying history.
