Samantha Leshnak Murphy (née Leshnak) is an American goalkeeper who plays for FC Rosengård in Sweden’s Damallsvenskan.
She’s from Cincinnati, Ohio.
She started playing football at around five years old.
Growing up, she played “a lot of different sports” across different seasons.
She didn’t become a full-time goalkeeper until around age 15.
When she talks about keepers she loves to watch, she names Hope Solo, Peter Schmeichel, Iker Casillas, and Emiliano Martínez.
In high school, she wasn’t only a keeper — she scored three goals, including two free kicks from the half line.
She married Kyle Murphy in June 2019.
At the University of North Carolina, she majored in exercise and sport science.
