When Megan Walker thinks of her next school, the first word that comes to mind is championships.The No. 1 prospect in the nation for three years running announced Thursday that she is signing a national letter of intent to Connecticut, the national champion for four years running.Its a winning program, she said. Ill be able to accomplish all my dreams.A 6-foot-1 shooting guard, Walker has collected trophies and broken records all over the globe during her time in high school. Shes the reigning Gatorade player of the year in Virginia. She is a two-time state champion at Monacan (Richmond, Virginia). She is the USA Basketball national 3x3 champion. And she won a gold medal with USA Basketball at the FIBA Americas U18 championship.Expect her to make an immediate mark at the college level, too. Walker has that special knack for making good things happen when shes on the court. It helps, of course, that she has a feathery touch on her jump shot, a reliable delivery off the dribble and the ability to find a teammate in a jam. She has the skill to sink jumpers from beyond the arc and the size to post up her defender.Megan Walker is one of the most physically gifted basketball players Ive ever seen, Monacan coach Larry Starr said. Once she started being ranked so high, she did not get complacent but continued to work hard to maintain that ranking. Its important to Megan to show people she isnt satisfied where she is, but she always strives for improvement.Walker chose Connecticut over Notre Dame and Texas.The decision didnt come easily. Walker said a lot of factors led her to Storrs -- the campus (she has already visited a handful of times), the players (shes especially excited to play alongside Kia Nurse and Gabby Williams), the coaches and the pipeline to success after college. Walker, who plans to major in either business or criminology, said shes excited to play for Geno Auriemma.He develops the best players, said Walker, who averaged 21.4 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.1 steals and 1.9 assists as a junior at Monacan. Im hoping to learn a lot from him.Walker joins a class at Connecticut that includes three other top-40 recruits: Mikayla Coombs, a 5-10 guard ranked 14th in the espnW HoopGurlz Top 100; Lexi Gordon, a 5-11 wing ranked 29th; and Andra Espinoza-Hunter, a 5-10 wing ranked 37th.With the addition of Walker, the UConn class is expected to be ranked No. 1 when the final class rankings are released next week. The Huskies class was ranked third -- behind Louisville and Stanford -- coming into the early signing period.It would be the first time since 2012 that the No. 1 class resides in Connecticut. That 2012 group featured a few names you may be familiar with: Breanna Stewart, Moriah Jefferson and Morgan Tuck.Walker is the fourth No. 1 prospect in the past seven years to choose UConn. She joins Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis (2011), Stewart (2012) and Katie Lou Samuelson (2015). Walker will be greeted by an elite group of backcourt players when she arrives in Storrs. UConn is expected to feature Samuelson, Nurse, Williams and Crystal Dangerfield on the perimeter when Walker arrives next fall.Were just excited about what the possibilities are for her, said dad Keith Walker. Megan hopes to carry on the winning tradition.Its been a long process. Weve enjoyed it. Now its time now to move on to the next chapter.But first, Megan Walker has her heart set on winning another state title at Monacan.Were two-time state champs, she said. Were trying to make that three-time state champs.It all goes back to the championships.

In that time, hes recorded 17 goals and 17 assists with 36 penalty minutes. BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil -- Love her or hate her, Hope Solos dominance as a goalkeeper is undeniable.Solo came up big in her 200th international appearance as the United States fought off France 1-0 on Saturday in an Olympic group match at Mineirao Stadium. And she did it while facing boos from Brazilian fans still riled up about her social media posts about the Zika virus.Whats important to me is that I played the best quality of football that I can play, and that hopefully our team makes it to the final, Solo said. If they (the fans) are having fun, great. I like a loud stadium. But it really doesnt mean anything to me.Solo became the first goalkeeper, male or female, to reach the 200-cap mark in international play. She also became just the 11th U.S. player to reach that number of appearances.The U.S. women, winners of last years World Cup and ranked No. 1 in the world, are vying for their fourth straight Olympic gold medal. Along with the tournament-opening victory over New Zealand, the United States is in good position for the quarterfinals.France, ranked No. 3, was considered the Americans biggest rival in the group. And they proved a tenacious foe.Carli Lloyds goal finally broke through in the 64th minute against France goalkeeper Sarah Bouhaddi. Tobin Heaths shot caromed off the post and while Bouhaddi struggled to recover, Lloyd tapped in the rebound for her eighth Olympic goal.Never forget that the U.S. is the world champion, France coach Philippe Bergeroo said.For the first half, it was all Solo.She tipped Wendie Renards header from a free kick off the crossbar in the 16th minute. Her most dramatic stop came in the 41st when Marie-Laure Delie charged in alone and Solo collapsed to her knees to smother the shot.She was getting free and I knew she was going to crack a shot as soon as she saw the goal, so I just tried to close her as quickly as I could. And I as I closed her -- some people think she went through my legs on purpose because it was the only part that was open because I had her closed down -- I dont really think so, I think she just tried to crack a shot, Solo said.The 200th cap was Solos latest accomplishment in a 16-year international career.Last month, she became the first goalkeeper with 100 international shutouts when the United States defeated South Africa 1-0 at Soldier Field in Chicago. It was also her 150th career win.Solo won her second straight Golden Glove Award for the best goalkeeper at the Womens World Cup a year ago. Over the course of the tournament in Canada, she had five clean sheets and allowed only three goals in seven games.She irked some Brazilians before the games started when she posted a photo of herselff decked out in mosquito netting and armed with insecticide, with the caption: Not sharing this!!! Get your own! (hashtag) zikaproof.dddddddddddd. As a result, fans at Mineirao Stadium have booed her every time she touched the ball.But following Saturdays match, Solo had apparently turned some of the fans in her favor. While the team was cooling down in the end zone area, the crowd could be heard chanting Hope! Hope! Hope!Im just being myself playing soccer, she said. They can love me or hate me, Im just going to continue doing the same things.The players said the boos were not a distraction as the team was focused on becoming the first to win at an Olympics following a World Cup title.United States coach Jill Ellis made a couple of changes in her lineup for the match. Whitney Engen came in for defender Julie Johnston, who is out with groin soreness, and Crystal Dunn came in for Mallory Pugh, who hurt an ankle in the opener.But the most stunning lineup change was made by France, which did not start star Eugenie Le Sommer, who scored in Frances 4-0 victory over Colombia. It was not clear whether Le Sommer was injured.With the victory, the United States improves to 16-0-1 this year. Lloyds goal was her 11th of the year and 90th of her career. She also scored in the opener against New Zealand.I think the crowd only gets going when Hope has the ball, Lloyd said about the atmosphere. I think theyre having fun with it at this point. Theyll probably go for the whole tournament.In the other match Saturday in Belo Horizonte, New Zealand defeated Colombia 1-0. The victory was costly for the Ferns because Abby Erceg was shown a red card late in the match, meaning that she wont be able to play on Tuesday when New Zealand faces France in Manaus.The United States plays Colombia in its final group match in Manaus.Elsewhere on Saturday, Janine Beckie scored twice and Christine Sinclair had her 10th Olympic goal as Canada defeated Zimbabwe 3-1 Saturday in Sao Paulo.Sinclairs penalty kick in the 19th minute moved her into a tie for second on the all-time Olympic list, alongside Germanys Birgit Prinz.
