2025/26 Season:
Previous Experience:
Known for her poise under pressure and fierce competitive drive, Hara combines quick reflexes with the athleticism to make difficult saves look routine. Comfortable commanding her area and confident with the ball at her feet, Hara also brings the distribution skills to initiate attacks and complement Fort Lauderdale’s possession-based style.
A native of San Diego, California, Hara began her college career at Azusa Pacific before transferring to Cal Poly Pomona for her final two seasons. She started all 43 matches for the Broncos, earning back-to-back All-CCAA Second Team honors and conceding just 28 goals. Hara’s standout 2024 campaign included a program-record 14 shutouts, captaining a Cal Poly Pomona side that took home the NCAA Division II National Championship.
Hara has been a consistent presence for Guam on the international level since making her debut in late 2023 at the EAFF Championships against Macau and Hong Kong-China. She captained the national team at the 2024 WAFF Championships, starting three matches and recording a shutout victory over Saudi Arabia. Most recently, Hara featured in three AFC Women’s Asian Cup Qualifiers in June and July, facing the United Arab Emirates, Maldives and Vietnam.
A well-rounded presence in goal, Hara brings championship pedigree and quality depth to a fully rebuilt goalkeeper room as Fort Lauderdale aims for a return to the Super League Final.
