2019 was Abby Dahlkemper’s year. The professional soccer player led the USWNT to its fourth World Cup championship and also made her SI Swimsuit debut with photographer Ben Watts in St. Lucia.

The UCLA alum, who logged the most minutes of any U.S. player during the 2019 World Cup, couldn’t contain her excitement about stepping out of her San Diego Wave FC kit and into a bikini for her photo shoot.

“I was kind of in disbelief because Sports Illustrated is such an iconic magazine to be a part of,” the Pennsylvania-born, California native said while on location. “I was just shocked… and honored and I was really excited about the opportunity to have people get to know me off the field and not in soccer clothes.”

Below are six of our favorite photos from Dahlkemper’s SI Swimsuit debut.
