Five Tar Heels named to Women’s World Cup roster

The sun rises in the East, water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, and North Carolina alums are playing the the Women’s World Cup. Some things do not, and will never, change. Last week Women’s National Team head coach Jill Ellis unveiled her 23-player roster for France 2019 and, as has been the case in every Cup since its inception in 1991, a group of Tar Heels will be taking part. Here are the four former Anson Dorrance-coached stars that will look to be earning Cup #4.

To the surprise of no one, Tobin Heath will be appearing in her third World Cup as one of the USWNT’s key offensive weapons.
