Meet Maisie

Having progressed through Aston Villa’s famed youth academy from the age of 11 years old, Maisie Baker has a rich footballing pedigree that extends beyond club level, also representing England Women’s National Team as an U19s squad player.

Graduating into the first team in 2014, Maisie played a crucial role in Villa’s charge towards a top-4 finish in the Super League 2, which eventually earned her first call-up to the international setup for games against Norway and France.

After joining FirstPoint USA, Maisie committed her future to the illustrious University of Miami, joining up with the Hurricane’s soccer team and getting off to a tremendous freshman year, becoming the only debutant to feature in every minute of the first 8 games of the season.

Another reliable and consistent season in 2016 saw Maisie start all 19 consecutive games of the regular season, helping the Hurricanes lock down 7 clean sheets en route to an all-time record for fewest goals allowed and lowest average goals against for the season. Maisie’s sophomore year was also capped-off by a deep run into the ACC Championship, making it all the way to the quarter-finals.
