"My coach said I ran like a girl, I said if he could run a little faster he could too."

—Mia Hamm^[3]

The University of North Carolina retired Hamm's no. 19 jersey in 1994.^[4]^[5] Hamm set the NCAA women's soccer scoring record with 278 points (statistics include 103 goals and 72 assists), was the National Player of the Year in 1992 and 1993, leading the team to four national championships.^[6]

Hamm was named Sportswoman of the Year by the Women's Sports Foundation in 1997 and 1999.^[7] In June 1999, Nike named the largest building on their corporate campus after Hamm.^[8] In December 2000, Hamm was named one of the top three female soccer players of the twentieth century in the FIFA Female Player of the Century Award, finishing behind only Sun Wen and compatriot Michelle Akers.^[9]

While at North Carolina, she won the Honda Sports Award as the nation's top female soccer player in both 1993 and 1994, and won the Honda-Broderick Cup in 1994 as the nation's top female athlete.^[10]^[11]

In March 2004, Hamm and former U.S. teammate Michelle Akers were the only two women and Americans named to the FIFA 100, a list of the 125 greatest living soccer players, selected by Pelé and commissioned by FIFA for the organization's 100th anniversary.^[12] Other accolades include being elected U.S. Soccer Female Athlete of the Year five years in a row from 1994 to 1998,^[13] and winning three ESPY awards including Soccer Player of the Year and Female Athlete of the Year.^[14]

In 2008, an image of her silhouette was used in the logo for the second professional women's soccer league in the United States: Women's Professional Soccer.^[18] ESPN named her the greatest female athlete in 2012.^[19]
