She became a highly influential player during her career at Notre Dame. In the 2006 NCAA Div-1 Women's Soccer National Finals, Notre Dame lost 2–1 to the University of North Carolina. Brittany scored the only goal for the Irish in the 81st minute.[2]

Professional career

Bock was the fifth overall pick in the 2009 Women's Professional Soccer draft, going to Los Angeles Sol,[3] becoming part of a defense that allowed a mere ten goals in twenty-one matches. When the Sol folded in January 2010, Bock was drafted by the Washington Freedom in the ensuing 2010 Dispersal Draft.[4]

After the 2010 season, Bock was signed by the Western New York Flash.[5]
