FIU Athletics

Michele O'Brien '01 - Women's Soccer (1998-01)

O'Brien, FIU's most-decorated women's player to ever grace the Panther pitch, dazzled in her time in the Blue & Gold. She ended her career in Miami as the program's all-time record holder in goals (58) and points (134), records which still stand today. She was named a two-time Sun Belt Player of the Year as a junior and senior along with earning First Team All-Sun Belt both seasons. 

A native of Plainview, N.Y., O'Brien enjoyed team success along with her individual accolades as she was a key member of the 2000 FIU squad that won both the Sun Belt Regular Season and Tournament Championships. O'Brien also received the Presidential Academic Athletic Award Medal in recognition of her outstanding career both on and off the field.
