UNC continues to stock the USWNT roster
Posted Jul 19, 2016
Since the first Women's World Cup in 1991 every single WWC has had at least two former UNC players on the U.S. squad, totaling 43 out of a possible 143 spots. That averages out to six Tar Heels, or approximately 30% of any given roster, over seven Women's World Cups. That alone is impressive, but the trend carries over the Olympics too.
