Lorraine Ming Fair (born August 5, 1978), better
known as Lorrie Fair, is an Asian American who is
a member of the United States women's national
soccer team, along with other players such as
Brandi Chastain and Mia Hamm.

Her twin sister, Ronnie Ming Fair, was also a
member of the national team, and when Ronnie was
called in to participate in a game against England
on May 9, 1997 at San Jose, California, it became
the first time a pair of twin sisters played
together at a US national team's game. 

Lorrie and Ronnie both participated on Sunnyvale
High School's female soccer team in Los Altos,
California, where they were born. While Ronnie
chose Stanford to go to college, Lorrie decided on
the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
instead, but not before being a two time NSCAA
all-American and Parade (magazine)|Parade magazine
all-American. At UNC, she was picked as one of
Soccer Americas freshmen of the year, and she
helped lead UNC to the 1996 NCAA championship. 

She joined the Under 20 national team in 1994,
playing, among other events, in the Nordic Cup. In
1995, she was a member of the West Team at the US
Olympic Festival, and she started practicing for
the National team. She impressed so much during
practice that she was named an alternate for the
1996 Atlanta Olympic Games team that won the Gold.
Soon after, she was able to make her debut in the
team as an official player.

In 1999, Fair, who is a good autograph signer,
helped take the team to that year's FIFA Women's
World Cup. 

She is still a member of the Women's national
soccer team.
