If you have ever met Tracy Hamm, you know how truly special she is. Tracy does everything with a purpose, a clear intention and a fiery passion. It radiates so naturally and is felt by all those in her presence. When Tracy walks into a room or onto a soccer field, you feel it. You really, really feel it. Her energy is contagious. She has an undeniable confidence and you cannot help but feel inspired.

I remember my junior year when Tracy showed up to training camp as a freshman. I was immediately drawn by her conviction and her competitive spirit. She waltzed in with so much poise and self-assurance that I thought to myself “Okay, this chick is a badass. Not only are we going to be great teammates, but we’re going to be great friends.” I’m happy that my initial thoughts that day came to fruition. Throughout our years together at Cal, we shared so many amazing memories on and off the field. I am so grateful to have played with Tracy and to have experienced firsthand that Tracy Hamm magic that ignites when she’s on the field.

By the end of her freshman year at Cal in 2002, Tracy was the leading scorer with nine goals and was named Cal's Freshman of the Year. During her four-year tenure at Cal, she was an All-Pac-10 academic honorable mention three times and started every game in her junior and senior seasons.

Tracy remained committed to soccer after graduating in 2006. She played with the California Storm, as well as FC Gold Pride and Atlanta Beat in the WPS. At the end of her illustrious playing career, Tracy turned her passion into purpose by choosing to coach soccer at Santa Rosa Junior College, San Francisco State and now currently at UC Davis. Tracy is also only one of two American women to hold the prestigious United European Football Association A coaching license. Tracy was also the subject of the 2019 documentary film, “Coach”, which followed her quest to earn the internationally renowned UEFA A coaching license.

Tracy is many things: smart, tough, resilient, compassionate, humble, and fun as hell. She is a movie star, motivator, role model, a lion who doesn’t need to roar and most definitely a legend. Her work ethic is unmatched. She does not take ‘no’ for an answer. When she wants something, she works hard and finds a way to make it happen. She embodies “leadership by example”, and we are so fortunate to call her a Bear.

“Tracy is the kind of friend who shows up. Always shows up. She puts everyone around her first—the best kind of friend and person to have in your life.”

Torrey Delaplane '08

“Saying Tracy is incredible simply isn't good enough. There's not a strong enough word. She's a force, she inspires and motivates everyone around her, she defines toughness, she's fun as hell, and beyond all else, she's fiercely loyal. She taught me to be a stronger player, she made me a better friend, and she pushed me to be my best self. She still pushes me to be better, even from afar. At 36 years old, Tracy continues to inspire me. Her relentless pursuit of greatness is contagious. Her motto of ‘how you do anything is how you do everything’ is now one of mine too.”

Liz Eisenberg Casso-Gomez '06

“Tracy is badass! She does things unapologetically at 110%, but with the motivation of few and a huge heart. She is strong, but soft, unapologetic and honest. She has the courage to take risks, go out of her comfort zone, and the courage to go where there are no guarantees. She is fierce, fearless, motivated, passionate, and determined! Most of all, she has the balance between being gentle and being fierce. Again, she is a badass and we all love her.”

MARY "Harv" HARVEY

Written By: Stacey Chapman '88

Growing up near Palo Alto and the Snobfarm, Cal actually wasn’t on Harv’s list of schools. It was late in the recruiting season when she got a call from Head Coach Bill Merrell inviting her for an official visit. Truth, she wasn’t sure she wanted to go. That, however, changed when her dad, Lynley, a nuclear physicist, said “ you have a chance to go to Cal, get in the car.” When she got to the campus, she fell in love with it. I think we’d all agree she made the right choice

I could go on and on about what an amazing goalkeeper she was, but I think her ‘96 Olympic Gold Medal and ‘91 FIFA Women’s World Cup Championship speak volumes about her ability between the pipes. It’s truly remarkable, given the Coke bottle glasses she wore. She recently confessed to me that she has no depth perception. Well, that explains some things.

What I remember most, is how much Harv studied. She worked so hard in the classroom and business classes were her jam. I think it’s fair to say she was pretty much a business school nerd. On a road trip to play Boston College, a group of us went to Harvard to check out the sites. Harv was so excited. We all got a Harvard sweatshirt except Harv. She didn’t just get a Harvard sweatshirt, she got a Harvard Business School sweatshirt. In hindsight, it all makes sense. Sidenote, she got a new nickname that day, Hahv. Say it with your best Boston accent. Hahv.

When Harv retired from the game, her real work began. She got her MBA, and joined FIFA as their first-ever female Director. She led the Development Division where she galvanized support to create the first-ever U17 FIFIA Women’s World Cup. She worked tirelessly to grow the game by clearing the way for girls and women, all over the world, to play football.

Harv has some amazing firsts. Way too many to list here, but I do want to share one of her proudest moments. As a Special Advisor for the United FIFA World Cup Bid 2026, she wrote the first-ever comprehensive human rights strategy for a mega-sporting event. Funny thing is the Trump White House had to review the bid before it could be put forward. Little did they know a bleeding-heart, lesbian liberal from Cal wrote the human rights strategy. Clearly, the West Wing didn’t bother reading that section of the bid, big shock. If they had, they would have seen Harv’s point of view on human rights all over it. It goes without saying, her POV did not align with theirs. And as we all know, the 2026 United Bid won the right to host the 2026 World Cup. Thanks Harv.

Harv likes to say “I’m a colossal nerd who comes from a family of nerds. Who, through my own life experience, gained an empathy for those who feel like they don’t belong.”

And from there, her life’s work just makes sense doesn’t it?

Written By: Jill Stephenson '00

Known as “Tucka” by her closest friends, teammates and family, Margaret Healy is “legendary” in every sense of the word. Born and raised in the Bay Area, with her 1st job working at KFC in Mountain View, Tucka’s 1st season as a Cal Soccer legend was 1981, with her Cal career spanning 1981-1985. Because stats & accolades are fun, Tucka scored 45 goals & had 10 assists, and was named 3rd Team All American in 1983 & 1985. What’s not in the stats is the hustle & competitiveness Tucka brought to the field (& to the post game party) every single day, alongside other Cal legends JT Thomas, Mary Harvey, Trudi Sharpsteen & Lesle Gallimore. Did you know that Tucka tore her ACL in club soccer compliments of a tackle from our own JT, then Tucka returned the favor a few years later, this time as Cal “teammates”, when Tucka’s foot accidentally connected with JT’s nose & broke it while “prepping” for the final game of the season at Colorado College. On the International stage, Tucka represented the USA with 3 caps, including the USWNT’s INAUGURAL match on August 18, 1985; this alone puts Tucka in legendary soccer status!

Because Cal Soccer legends don’t stop being legends once they leave the friendly confines of Berkeley & Telegraph Ave, Tucka has spent the last 20+ years in the Bay Area as an integral member of teams working on technology & entertainment products at Google. Google’s employee #81 (for reference I joined in 2012 and am employee #191,481), Margaret joined Google in 2000 as a member of the Business Development team, & by team, it was Margaret & 2 others. Google was very much a small startup at this time, nothing like it is today, with Margaret helping to define the business opportunities that today amass billions of dollars of revenue each year. She was not only legendary on the business side, but her stories of shenanigans & pranks played on others in the office (including very rich, well known Silicon Valley leaders) are priceless. In 2006, when Google bought a small video platform called YouTube, with the goal to expand Google’s reach from Search to Video, Tucka joined the YouTube Team to help lead strategic business partnerships. After 6 years, & thousands of cat videos later, Tucka joined the Google Fiber team, once again leading the charge with strategic partnerships, this time not with small, viral content producers, but with the likes of HBO. Fast forward a few more years, Tucka triumphantly returned to the friendly halls of YouTube, 5 years after she left, to focus once again on strategic business partnerships for what we now know as YouTube TV.

I met Tucka in 2012 when I was interviewing for a job at Google Fiber. I did my research beforehand, obviously, & saw that a fellow Cal Soccer alum was on the interview panel. SWEET, and a legendary one at that, maybe she will go easy on me :) Tucka was the 1st of 5 back to back interviews that day, she walked into the room, told me to just shut my mouth, she will tell me everything that I need to say, not say, who to compliment, how to compliment, what questions I will get from others, everyone’s background, hobbies, pet peeves...ALL OF IT! It’s like getting the cliff notes & all of the questions of an exam beforehand. I just remember her saying that Cal Soccer Sisters stick together, & that even though I was a GK, therefore I clearly had suspect decision making skills, she was going to ensure I succeeded. Well, when people ask how my Google interview process was, I laugh. I got the job & I truly owe it all to the legend Tucka Healy. I’ve spent the last 8 years working alongside her, learning from her, getting life advice from her.

Tucka checked her ego at the door long ago, she will never tell you she played in the 1st ever USWNT game, that she was an All American @ Cal, that she literally has seen it ALL in her career at Google & YouTube, that she is one of the best teammates, on & off the field, that you will ever meet, that she is generous, smart, funny & has traveled all over the world. That’s the definition of a true legend, she doesn’t have to tell you, you just can tell!

ERIKA (Cannon) HINTON

Written By: Lisa Luengo '94 & Kim Brady '94

So many good memories of “E” both on and off the field. Erika Hinton is the epitome of a “Quiet Leader”. She led by doing what was expected of her, with no complaints, and pure dedication and drive to compete. On the field, she was known for her speed, her deadly accurate shots on goal and ability to finish, her desire to win at all costs (even getting cortisone shot one, two, or three to get through games) and desire to be the best team player possible.

Her hunger to win on the field was a far cry from her humble and shy characteristics off of the field. You would never know she was an All-American when you meet her because she has never cared about the accolades. She is quite possibly the nicest person you could ever meet. On the field, she would kick your ass but when practice was over, she would be the first one to come over and give you a hug.

She was not as outgoing as some on the team, but she enjoyed going out and having fun with teammates and friends. Sometimes her silly, fun alter ego would be exposed and another side of E would come out. Some of the things we remember most about her was her love for King Pin donuts, Yogurt Park, and hanging with the football team, riding scooters all over town, and dancing at frat parties. E has never been comfortable being the center of attention, but she proved every day to have an enormous presence on and off the field by being genuinely herself.

Lair of Legends member, Andrea Rodebaugh, came to Cal in 1984 after graduating Los Gatos High School where she is in their Hall of Fame. She was born in Mexico City to a Mexican mother and an American journalist father and moved to the United States as a toddler.

A skillful attacking midfielder for Cal, she was small in stature and quiet by nature, but extremely formidable on the pitch. At Cal from 1984-1988, Andrea or “Andy” as we called her, amassed 25 goals and 67 total career points, including a career high 7 assists in 1988, her senior campaign. Andy was named All-Region by the National Soccer Coaches Association in 1985 and 86.

While at Cal it was clear that the sport of “football” ran in her blood. She was the player that, along with her compadre Liz Gazda, you always saw on one of the spare fields around campus playing “pick-up” with the Berkeley die-hards. It’s so clear now based on how she was then that soccer is a very deep part of her being, not just a sport she played in college. Andrea was a part of the talent-laden Bay Area women’s amateur team, the California Tremors, where I was fortunate to also be her teammate.

After graduation from Cal, like Andrea tends to do, she quietly, humbly and diligently went on to have a major impact in the sport and specifically with women in the sport. She continues to have an impact today. Her playing career saw her Captain the Mexican Women’s National Team in Montreal in 1994 and in Toronto 1998 in Concacaf Qualification elimination games and participated in the game-changer World Cup in the U.S. in 1999 competing against the likes of Italy, Germany and Brazil.

Not surprisingly, Andrea made a seamless transition to coaching, becoming the Assistant Coach to the Mexican Women’s National Team in 2003 working alongside her former Head Coach, Leo Cuellar. She continued with the Mexican Federation, coaching the U20 Women’s Team in 2008 in the World Championships in Chile, and became the Technical Director for that age group in 2012. Andrea’s love for coaching players evolved into a love for coaching coaches. Since 2014 she has been a FIFA Consultant and Instructor for Women’s Soccer Development for both the CONCACAF AND CONMEBOL Regions. She’s coached in the Mexican league, leading Club Tijuana Xolos, as well as their Girls Academy Director. She has been a champion for the women around the globe.

I would like to believe that Andrea’s strength and perseverance to become a leader in international football stems from surviving a very cruel joke we played on her during her freshman season at Cal. We had a road trip, and she was running late for the bus to the airport and we decided to pull away without her. We intentionally drove the route near her dorm. As we spotted her pedaling those little strong legs on her bike as fast as they would take her we pretended not to see her. She flagged us down, tied her bike to a tree and managed her way onto the bus holding back tears. Cruel? Perhaps. Funny? Definitely. Life-altering? Probably not.

Andrea Rodebaugh Huitron continues to serve the game with passion and purpose making all Cal soccer Bears proud to call her one of our own.
