Notre Dame Women's Soccer alums Shannon Boxx (USA) and Melissa Tancredi (Canada) both helped their team's advance at the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup.
Two Notre Dame graduates helped their teams advance to the knockout round at the Women's World Cup earlier this week. Shannon Boxx, a 1999 ND alum and longtime member of the USWNT, is appearing at her fourth World Cup. Notre Dame has had a representative on the US roster at the last six Women's World Cups dating back to 1995. At 38 years old, Boxx has stated this will be her final World Cup of her career.
