A combative defensive midfielder, she played for Carolina Courage of Women's United Soccer Association (WUSA). Baxter McCorkle played college soccer for the University of Florida "Gators". She was inducted to the University of Florida Athletic Hall of Fame in April 2009. Baxter McCorkle was the Carolina Courage's fourth draft pick ahead of the inaugural 2001 season of the Women's United Soccer Association (WUSA). Described as a "tireless blue-collar worker", versatile Baxter McCorkle featured as one of the best defensive midfielder in 2001 before switching to central defense in the Courage's 2002 WUSA Founders Cup-winning campaign. When starting midfielder Hege Riise suffered a knee injury early in 2003, Baxter McCorkle was moved back into midfield. Following the demise of WUSA, Baxter McCorkle retrained as an accountant and began working for Ernst & Young in her native Littleton, Colorado. In 2009 she was living with husband John. Shortly after they had kids, their daughters Kylie Grace and Sydney Harper are also soon to become soccer stars.
