Amy Elizabeth LePeilbet (born March 12, 1982) is a retired American professional soccer defender who played for FC Kansas City in the National Women's Soccer League and was a member of the United States women's national soccer team. She was an Olympic gold medalist at the 2012 London Olympics and a silver medalist at the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup.
Born in Spokane, Washington, LePeilbet attended Prairie Ridge High School in Crystal Lake, Illinois where she lettered four years in soccer and three times in basketball. She was captain of the soccer and basketball teams during her junior and senior years.
LePeilbet was an All-Fox Valley Conference selection from 1997–2000, an all-sectional choice from 1998–2000, first-team all-area from 1999–2000, an all-tournament pick from 1999–2000, and named Most Valuable Player in 1999 and 2000. She holds the school's records for total goals (53) and assists (37) in soccer.
Prairie Ridge coach, Mike O'Brien said of her exceptional talent, "She was very versatile, even as a sophomore. She could cut both directions, she could shoot righty or lefty, she could get up on head balls. She's always been a great team player, but I'd say she is even more so now. She's an unselfish player who distributes the ball in all directions."
In 2000, she was named Northwest Herald Player of the Year and was honored with the John Mackie Senior Athlete of the Year award. She also earned the Fox Valley Scholar-Athlete and United State Marine Corps Athlete Recognition awards the same year.
LePeilbet attended Arizona State University, where she majored in Sociology and graduated with Magna Cum Laude honors. Amy played for the Arizona State Sun Devils women's soccer team from 2000 to 2003. She was a three-time First-Team All-Pac-10 selection (2001–2003) and a two-time All-American.
