Welcome to Orange Talk, a segment of the Bayou City Soccer Podcast! This week, we're joined by Houston Dash defender Avery Patterson, who shares her journey from youth soccer to a standout collegiate career at North Carolina. Avery reflects on her time with the Tar Heels, where she experienced both personal success and heartbreak, including a hard-fought loss in the national championship final against UCLA.

She also opens up about her NWSL Draft experience, the challenges and excitement of transitioning into the professional league, and the teammates—like Paige Nielsen—who've inspired her along the way.

Plus, Avery reacts to the surreal moment of seeing fans wearing her U.S. national team jersey, and much more.
