Samantha June Mewis, born on October 9, 1992, in Weymouth, Massachusetts, grew up in Hanson, Massachusetts. She developed her soccer skills playing for Whitman-Hanson Regional High School and Scorpions SC, often competing with her older sister, Kristie. Mewis attended UCLA, where she was a significant player for the Bruins women’s soccer team, contributing to their NCAA championship win in 2013 during her junior year. She was recognized for her collegiate performance as a three-time All-Pac-12 selection and a Honda Award winner in 2014.
Mewis was drafted fourth overall by the Western New York Flash in the 2015 NWSL College Draft. She made an immediate impact, starting all 20 regular-season games as a rookie. In 2016, she played a key role in the Flash’s NWSL Championship victory, scoring crucial goals in the semifinals and final. Following the team’s rebranding to the North Carolina Courage, Mewis continued her success, helping the team win NWSL Shields in 2017, 2018, and 2019, along with consecutive NWSL Championships in 2018 and 2019. Her international career also saw her represent the United States at the youth level, including a runner-up finish at the 2008 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup. She debuted for the senior national team in 2014 and was an integral part of the U.S. team that won the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup, where she played in six out of seven matches and scored two goals. She also earned a bronze medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
In 2020, Mewis was named the U.S. Soccer Female Player of the Year. She then moved to England to play for Manchester City in the FA Women’s Super League for the 2020-21 season, winning the FA Cup with the team in 2020 and being named to the FA WSL PFA Team of the Year. After returning to the North Carolina Courage in 2021 and a subsequent trade to the Kansas City Current, Mewis announced her retirement from professional soccer in January 2024 due to a long-term knee injury. Post-retirement, she transitioned into a media career, becoming the editor-in-chief and podcast host of The Women’s Game for the Men in Blazers Media Network.
