She was subsequently named to the All-ACC First Team, the NSCAA Second-Team All-American, and the ACC All-Freshman Team.[2] During her second year with the team, she helped the team go undefeated with a 27–0–0 record and win the NCAA championship starting 26 of 27 games, scoring 11 goals and serving 12 assists.[2] She was named First-Team All-ACC and NSCAA All-American the same year.[2] In 2004, she scored six goals and served five assists in the 23 games in which she played.

Chicago Red Stars (NWSL), 2013–2015
On February 5, 2013, she rejoined the Chicago Red Stars in the new National Women's Soccer League.[8] Chalupny captained the Red Stars during the inaugural season, played 18 matches and scored 5 goals, the highest scored by a member of the team; and was named to NWSL 2013 best eleven.[9]
In 2014 National Women's Soccer League season, Chalupny captained Chicago Red Stars to fifth place, played in a team high of 23 matches and 2003 minutes, and scored five goals.
At the end of the 2015 National Women's Soccer League season she reitired from professional soccer.[10]
International
A member of the U.S. national under-16, 19 and 21 teams, Chalupny earned her first cap for the senior team on March 7, 2001 against Italy. She scored her first goal for the U.S. senior team on May 9, 2004 against Mexico. Although she predominantly played left back at the 2005 Algarve Cup, she also played as an outside midfielder.[2]
In January 2006, Chalupny suffered a concussion after two blows to the head in a game against France. She was ordered by her doctors to take several months off, and did not return to national team play until July 2006.[11] She started at midfield in all six of the United States' games at the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup, and scored two goals, one of which was the game-winning goal in the U.S. 1–0 win over Nigeria on September 18, 2007. The goal, coming just 57 seconds into the game, was the second-fastest in Women's World Cup history.[12]
Chalupny played in four games for the U.S. at the 2008 Summer Olympics. In the first game, she received a punch intended for the ball from the keeper and left the field. She scored one goal against Japan in the semifinal. The U.S. team won the tournament and took the Olympic gold medal. During the 2009 Algarve Cup, Chalupny was named co-captain of the team. She played every minute of five matches in 2009, captaining the U.S. team in a 1–0 win against Germany after co-captain Christie Rampone became pregnant.
From 2009 to November 2014, Chalupny was not called to play for the United States women's national soccer team due to a history of concussions.[11] However, after approaching the U.S. Soccer Federation in 2014 and passing numerous tests, she was called up by the team in December 2014.[13] National team head coach Jill Ellis selected Chalupny as part of the roster for the 2014 International Tournament of Brasilia.[14] Ellis also selected her for the national team roster for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup.
In August 17, 2015, Chalupny announced that she was retiring from international soccer after Celebration Tour. She said: "there is no better way to go out than as a world champion and this just seemed like the right time to put a cap on my international career"[15]
