Scarpa Named To Preseason Best XI Team by Top Drawer Soccer

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – University of North Carolina junior forward has been named to the TopDrawerSoccer.com Women's Division I preseason Best XI team announced by the magazine on Monday.

In addition, freshman defender Lotte Wubben-Moy, a native of England, who will join the Tar Heels on August 23 and is projected as UNC's starter at center back this year, was tapped for Top Drawer Soccer's Freshman Best XI.

The return of last fall's U.S. U20 Women's World Cup team is significant in this year's Preseason Best XI for women's Division I soccer. Scarpa was one of many preseason Best XI selections who played in last year's U20 FIFA World Cup in Papua, New Guinea and sat out the 2016 collegiate season in the process.
