Kristie Mewis, who played soccer for Boston College from 2009-2012, has been named to Team USA’s roster for the 2023 Women’s World Cup. The 2023 World Cup will be hosted by Australia and New Zealand from July 20th-August 20th (which means Mewis will get to compete against her girlfriend, Aussie soccer icon Sam Kerr, on Kerr’s own turf). Mewis is the second member of her family to play for a World Cup team, as her younger sister Sam Mewis was a member of the 2019 squad.
Congratulations are in order for Lynn Williams, Kristie Mewis, and Kelley O’Hara!
