She secured a role as the reserve goalkeeper on the 18-member roster.<\/p>\n<p>Her shining moment occurred on Aug. 9 when she received a starting nod, played all 90 minutes in goal and came up with two great saves to earn a shutout in a 0-0 tie against South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>During her career at UCF, Reis earned All-American, all-region and all-conference honors and helped UCF win two conference championships.
