The subject of this blog post, Camryn Lancaster, played for Solar Soccer Club at the club level, NCAA Division I TCU – Texas Christian University, and the semi-pro California Storm before joining the fully professional ranks with Dallas Trinity FC in the Division I USL Super League. In this interview, she talks with Rush Olson about her path to the pros – a path that didn’t exist for women in decades past.

The Raising Her Game docuseries Olson directed (now streaming on Victory+ Sports) is centered around using Texas Longhorns Soccer as a fulcrum to tell the story of how women’s sports and U.S. soccer evolved concurrently. But it includes segments about the TCU Women's Soccer program and Dallas-Fort Worth-based Solar. Camryn’s knowledge of multiple levels of the soccer pyramid added interesting context to those themes.

Arnold Mbembe grew up in Quebec. Rush Olson from our team met him at the College Gridiron Showcase and asked him to do an interview for our 2023 documentary on the event. Tom Fireoved from Mint Farm Films was going to conduct the interview. Arnold is a fun guy, so Rush asked him to pretend he only spoke French when he met Tom, who would then have to ponder how he would ask football questions to someone in a language he didn't speak. Arnold eventually let Tom off the hook and proceeded to do the interview in excellent English as you'll note from this excerpt. See more of him and the whole doc for free on Victory+ Sports.
