The defender started all 19 matches in the backline for Rutgers that season, helping the Scarlet Knights to an 11-4-5 record and berth in the NCAA Tournament.
In all, Wright was a part of four NCAA Tournament teams during her Rutgers career, including Rutgers first ever trip to the College Cup in 2015.
