Playing career

Club

In March 1999 Keller signed for Danish Elitedivisionen team Fortuna Hjørring, scoring on her debut on 1 April 1999. She received a letter of intent from Women’s United Soccer Association, but did not join the new league because of Dorrance’s involvement in it.

International

Keller played for the United States women’s national soccer team from 1995 to 1999. In 1998, her 14 goals ranked third on the team behind Mia Hamm and Tiffeny Milbrett. She was cut from the team before the 1999 FIFA Women’s World Cup and unsuccessfully took legal action to be reinstated, suggesting her exclusion by coach Tony DiCicco had been a retaliation for the Dorrance lawsuit.
