Soccer career
[edit]Fisher played college soccer for Harvard Crimson, captaining the team, being named to the All-Ivy League first team in 2001 and 2002, and earning a call-up to the United States women's national under-21 soccer team during her sophomore year.[2][3]
She played for the Boston Renegades of the USL W-League from 2002 through 2006.[4] In late 2004 she travelled to Brazil, where she lodged with team coach Kleiton Lima while playing for Santos FC in the Campeonato Paulista de Futebol Feminino.[5][2]
During the 2006 Damallsvenskan season, Fisher played for Hammarby, making 14 appearances in total for the Swedish club.[6] She played three games for New York Athletic Club in the 2007 WPSL season.[7] When Women's Professional Soccer was being put together, Fisher was attached to Boston Breakers. However she was waived in pre-season.[8] Later in the 2009 season Fisher was given a development contract with Chicago Red Stars and called up to the main roster from their affiliate Chicago Red Eleven,[3] only to be waived shortly afterwards.[8]
While studying at the London School of Economics, Fisher was attached to Chelsea and Millwall Lionesses.[9] She made three appearances for Millwall in the 2010–11 FA Women's Premier League.[10] In early 2012 she returned to Brazil, to sign for Associação Acadêmica e Desportiva Vitória das Tabocas ahead of their Campeonato Pernambucano de Futebol Feminino campaign.[11][12]
Guerreiras Project
[edit]In 2010 Fisher and Aline Pellegrino founded the Guerreiras (transl. female warrior) Project, to counter sexism in women's football in Brazil.[13]
