of the pro-am soccer W-League, after her first season with the
Atlanta Silverbacks.
Gorodetsky, was selected as one of the four defenders to the

professional stars, the W-League also provides elite amateurs the
opportunity to compete while maintaining their eligibility as
college student-athletes. The league is recognized throughout the
world for providing superior competition for female players, while
offering affordable family entertainment for fans throughout North
America.
Gorodetsky graduated from Emory as one of the most recognized
players in NCAA Division III Women's Soccer history. She was
one of two defenders and eight players overall to be named a
four-time NCAA Division III All-American by the NSCAA, and was the
first women's soccer player in University Athletic Association
(UAA) history to garner conference Most Valuable Player honors
