Shannon MacMillan (born October 7, 1974) is an American former professional soccer player. She was a member of the U.S. Women's National Team that won the gold medal at the 1996 Summer Olympics and at the 1999 Women's World Cup. She was US Soccer's Female Athlete of the Year for 2002. In 2007, MacMillan became an assistant coach for the UCLA women's soccer team.
Shannon Ann MacMillan was born in Syosset, New York. She attended San Pasqual High School in Escondido, California. She has one older brother, Sean.
MacMillan played for the University of Portland, where she won the Hermann Trophy for the best female collegiate soccer player of the 1995 season. She earned All-America honors from 1992–95.
MacMillan was one of the founding players of the Women's United Soccer Association, playing three seasons for the San Diego Spirit.
While still in college, MacMillan joined the US National Team in 1994 as a midfielder. By 2000, she moved to forward.
In the Olympic semifinal against Norway in 1996, she scored the game-winning goal in overtime. In the Olympic final against China, she collected a Mia Hamm shot that rebounded off the post and put it in for the first goal of the match.
She was a "super-sub" on the US WNT's 1999 Women's World Cup team and the 2000 Olympic team. She earned a spot on the roster for the 2003 Women's World Cup team after making a miraculously quick recovery from an ACL tear suffered just four months before the tournament began.
