Early life

Press in 2015

Born in Los Angeles to Cody and Stacy Press, Christen was raised in the South Bay city of Palos Verdes along with her two sisters, Channing and Tyler.[1] She began playing soccer at age five [2] and later attended Chadwick School. As a two-year team captain and four-year starter of the high school's soccer team, she helped lead the Dolphins to two Southern Section Division IV titles. She also lettered in track and tennis.[3] In 2006, she was named NSCAA High School All-American and Parade Magazine All-American. During her high school career, she scored a total of 128 goals, including 38 her junior year alone (a school-record). She was a two-time Southern Section Division IV Offensive Player of the Year and four-time Prep League Offensive MVP.[3]

Press played club soccer for the Slammers FC of Newport Beach, California and won the Golden Boot for most goals scored in the US Youth Soccer Association national championship tournament.[3][4]

Stanford Cardinal, 2007–2010

Press is the all-time leading scorer for the Stanford University women's soccer team with 71 goals.[5] While playing for the Cardinal, she also broke school records for career points (183), assists (41), and shots (500) as well as single-season records for shots (180) and game-winning goals (10). The 26 goals she scored during her senior year alone tied for the most in a single season throughout the team's history.[3]

As a freshman, Press was on the starting lineup for the Cardinal in 18 of the 21 games in which she played. She led the team in assists (6) and ranked second in goals (8), points (22) and shots (60). She set a new school record for fastest goal scored in a match after scoring in the 37th second of the team's 7–0 defeat of Sacramento State University in the first round of the NCAA Division I Tournament. She scored two goals and served an assist during the same match.[3] She was named Pac-10 Freshman of the Year and earned first-team Freshman All-American honors.[6] During her sophomore season, Press scored 16 goals and served 11 assists and was one of only five players on the squad that started every game. Her 43 points tallied in a single season ranked second in school history. After scoring the game-winning goal during the 86th minute of the NCAA Division I Tournament quarterfinal against the Portland Pilots, Press' lone goal helped launch the Cardinal to the Final Four. She was the only player from the Cardinal squad to be named to the NCAA College Cup All-Tournament Team.[3]

During her third season with the Cardinal, Press set new program records for assists (16) and shots (143). Seven of her 21 goals during the 2009 season were game-winning goals. Her 58 points raised the bar that she set during the previous season for the second-highest point total in a single season and ranked third in the nation.[3] Press broke her previous record for fastest goal scored in Stanford history after scoring 23 seconds into a match against Brigham Young University.[3] She scored a golden goal and made an assist against the UCLA Bruins during the Cardinal's 2–1 win securing the Cardinal into its first-ever NCAA Division I Tournament final.[7] During the NCAA College Cup final loss against the North Carolina Tar Heels, an apparent tying goal by Press in the 89th minute was ruled offside.[8] During the postseason, she was named to the NCAA College Cup All-Tournament team for the second time, Soccer America's MVPs first team and Top Drawer Soccer's Team of the Season. She was named to the All-Pac-10 first team and was a semifinalist for the Hermann Trophy.[3][9]

In her senior year Press led the nation in scoring and points and was the recipient of the 2010 Hermann Trophy, marking the second consecutive win for a Stanford player following Kelley O'Hara in 2009.[10][11] Press was named Soccer America Player of the Year,[12] Pac-10 Conference Player of the Year, and earned All-Pac-10 first team and NSCAA first-team All-American honors.[10][13] She displayed academic proficiency as well, receiving Academic All-America honors and winning the Pac-10's Scholar-Athlete of the Year for soccer.[10]

Press was drafted to the Washington Freedom as the fourth overall pick in the 2011 WPS Draft.[14][15] Under new ownership, the team moved to Florida and was renamed magicJack. She scored her first goal in the 64th minute of magicJack's 2–0 defeat of the Atlanta Beat in May 2011. Of the goal, Press said, "It was so good to finish. Being a forward, we go into every game thinking our job is to score, so it’s nice to finally get that accomplished."[16] During a 4–0 win against the Boston Breakers in July 2011, Press scored a hat trick improving the team's league record to 6–6–2 overall.[17][18] She was awarded the US Soccer Federation's Rookie of the Year award for the first-ever hat trick scored by a rookie.[19] Press finished the 2011 season having started in 16 of the 19 games in which she appeared for magicJack.[20] Her eight goals ranked third in the league.[21] During the postseason, Press signed with the Atlanta Beat; however, the league suspended operations before the season began.[22][23]

Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC, 2012

When Women's Professional Soccer folded in early 2012, Press inked a professional deal with Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC in the Damallsvenskan, the top division in Sweden.[24] Her first game with Göteborg occurred during a 2012-13 UEFA Women's Champions League quarterfinal match against Arsenal L.F.C. in which Göteborg lost 3–0.[25]

During her regular season debut with Göteborg on April 10, 2012, she scored two goals——her first coming during the fifth minute of the match.[26] During the team's 6–0 defeat of KIF Örebro later that month, she scored another pair of goals within five minutes of each other.[27] On August 25, 2012, she scored two goals again—this time within two minutes of each other in the 61st and 63rd minutes—helping Göteborg defeat Umeå 5–0.[28] Press was the second-highest scorer in the Damallsvenskan with 17 league goals and scored a total of 25 in all 2012 competitions.[29]

During the quarter-finals of the Swedish Cup, she scored two goals for Göteborg in the 41st and 59th minutes helping the squad defeat Kristianstad 3–0.[30] During the semi-finals in August 2012, she scored in the thirteenth minute helping her squad defeat LdB Malmö 2–1 and progress to the championship final.[31] Göteborg won the championship in a 2–1 win over Tyresö FF with Press scoring a goal in the ninth minute of the game.[32]

Tyresö FF, 2013–2014

In early 2013, Press signed with Swedish Damallsvenskan champions, Tyresö FF, located in Stockholm.[33] During her regular season debut for the team, she scored a goal in the 14th minute helping Tyresö defeat Vittsjö GIK 2–0.[34] During a 10–2 win over Sunnanå SK, Press scored four goals.[35][36] During the team's next match, she scored two goals helping the team defeat Jitex BK 7–0.[37] On June 9, 2013, she scored a hat trick during the squad's 5–1 win over Kristianstads DFF.[38] After following up with a pair of goals scored in each of Tyresö's next two matches, Press scored her second hat trick of the season during a 5–0 win over Jitex IK on August 24, 2013.[39] Her third hat trick occurred the following game during an 8–0 win against Sunnanå IF.[40] During the team's last match of the regular season, Press scored twice against her former team, Göteborg FC, helping Tyresö win 4–1.[41]

Press finished the 2013 season as the top scorer in the league with 23 goals becoming the first American to do so in the history of the Damallsvenskan. Tyresö finished second during the regular season with a 14–6–2 record and thus qualified for the 2014-15 UEFA Women's Champions League.[42] In October 2013, Press scored Tyresö's only two goals during the 2013–14 UEFA Women's Champions League's Round of 32 securing a 2–1 aggregate win over French side, Paris Saint-Germain F.C. and launching her team to the Round of 16.[43]

On January 3, 2014, the Chicago Red Stars of the National Women's Soccer League announced that Press would be joining their roster for the 2014 season following her time with Tyresö FF.[44] During the 2014 NWSL season, Press scored a team-high of six goals while playing in only 12 matches and was awarded the team's Golden Boot.[45] During a match on July 4 against 2013 champions Portland Thorns at Providence Park, Press scored two goals in the 76th and 82nd minutes to equalize the score resulting in a draw after being down 2–0 at halftime.[46] On August 16, she scored another brace with goals in the 17th and 60th minutes helping Chicago draw against Western New York Flash.[47] Chicago finished fifth during the regular season with a 9–7–8 record.[48] Press was named to the league's second XI team by players, coaches, and media.[49]

Press returned to the Red Stars for the 2015 Chicago Red Stars season. During the team's first home match against Seattle Reign FC, she scored a brace and served an assist to Jen Hoy to help the Red Stars defeat Seattle 3–2.[50] She was subsequently named the league's NWSL Player of the Week for week 2 of the season.[51] On April 25, Press scored two early goals in a drawn match against Portland Thorns FC. At the end of April, having scored four goals and provided one assist, Press was the league's goal leader and was named the NWSL Player of the Month.[52] Press missed the next eight games due to her participation in the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup.
