“I am very grateful and honored to receive these awards,” said Puerta. “Most importantly, I want to give all glory to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Without Him, none of this would be possible. I also want to thank my teammates, coaches, and staff for making our inaugural season unforgettable.” Puerta later added, “It is so much easier to play and enjoy the game when you are doing it with people you care so much for. And to my family and friends who have supported me all this season, and throughout my entire career so far, thank you very much. I would not be here without your support, encouragement, and love. I love you all so much!”

Puerta was called up for international play with the U.S. U-19 women’s team in February and in May, where she appeared in three games and started in two. During her time with the U-19 team, she scored one goal and had one assist.
