Reese Cross played in the ECNL with Sting growing up in Dallas before she was offered a scholarship from Texas A&M Corpus Christi, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in criminal justice before completing a Masters in Homeland Security. A life-long soccer player, Cross joined Sting in September of 2025 because she wanted to help foster a positive and supportive environment at Sting that she enjoyed playing for in her youth. While she no longer takes the pitch every weekend, Cross now enjoys traveling, experiencing different cultures and hanging out with friends and family in her free time.
