At just 18 years old, DeMelo is already an established international soccer star. In 2015 she captained the U.S. Women's National U20 (under 20 years old) Team through World Cup Qualifying in Honduras. Her leadership drove the team to the CONCACAF Championship overtaking Canada in the finals with a hard-fought one-to-nil victory. The forward/midfielder was selected as an all-star for the tournament, being named as one of the top eleven players in the entire competition.

At the Hall of Fame banquet on February 29, DeMelo will headline a class of nearly 40 performers of the year, special achievement honorees and championship teams to be inducted for the 2015 season. More
