Schuyler Hesseltine DeBree (born September 5, 1996) is an American former professional soccer player.
Early life
[edit]Born in Charlotte, North Carolina, DeBree moved with her family to Fair Haven, New Jersey, where she played prep soccer at Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School.[2] During her four seasons with the Rumson-Fair Haven Bulldogs, DeBree scored 46 goals and captained her side during her senior year.[2] She ended her high school ranked by topdrawersoccer.com as the 133 ranked player for the 2014 class and ranked 10 in the regional New Jersey class.[3] She was also named as the Asbury Park Press All-Shore Girls Player of the Year after her senior year.[3]
Prior to graduating, DeBree enrolled at Duke University and committed to playing college soccer for the Duke Blue Devils.[3] During her freshman year, DeBree started all 18 matches for the Blue Devils, helping the side to six cleansheets.[1] Prior to her sophomore year, DeBree joined the reserve side of National Women's Soccer League club Washington Spirit and played 10 matches as she helped the side to the 2015 W-League title.[4] During her sophomore year, DeBree played 11 matches before being sidelined for the rest of the season following an ACL tear on September 24, 2015, against the Boston College Eagles.[1] DeBree returned to the side for her junior year, starting 23 matches and being selected into the All-ACC Academic Team.[1] For her senior season, DeBree started in all 26 matches as she helped the Blue Devils earn a team record 18 cleansheets and led her side to the 2017 Women's College Cup.[5] Following her senior season, DeBree was awarded as the ACC Defender of the Year.[5]
Career
[edit]On January 18, 2018, DeBree was selected with the first pick of the second round in the NWSL College Draft (11th overall) by former club Washington Spirit.[4] Despite being drafted, DeBree elected to finish her senior year at Duke University before joining the Washington Spirit training sessions midseason.[6] Despite being told that there were no more roster spots, DeBree continued to train with the Spirit and was eventually signed to a short temporary contract.[6] When she decided to move abroad, DeBree stated that coach Jim Gabarra told her "Oh, that's awkward. You have a full contract in your email inbox. So, I guess just delete it?".[6]
After leaving the Spirit, DeBree moved to the Czech Republic and joined Czech Women's First League club AC Sparta Prague.[7] Despite initially struggling, DeBree soon adjusted thanks to her former Blue Devils teammate Ashton Miller also playing with Sparta Prague.[6] During her one season with Sparta Prague, DeBree helped the side win the Czech Women's First League title and Czech Women's Cup.[7]
On July 15, 2019, DeBree returned to the United States and signed with Reign FC.[8] She appeared two times for the club on the bench before leaving following the 2019 season, requesting a leave of absence.[9]
North Carolina Courage
[edit]On March 24, 2021, after spending a year out of the game, DeBree joined the North Carolina Courage.[7] She made her professional debut for the club on April 10, 2021, in the NWSL Challenge Cup against her former club Washington Spirit.[10]
On November 16, 2021, DeBree announced her retirement from professional soccer.[11]
