Briana Scurry has finally been elected to the USSF National Soccer Hall of Fame. She was elected along with Dr. Joe Machnik, with Scurry going on the Player Ballot and Machnik on the Builder ballot.

"It's a fantastic honor to be inducted to the Hall of Fame," Scurry said via US Soccer press release. "Soccer had already given me so much more than I could possibly give back. Now, to be inducted alongside the likes of Michelle Akers, Mia Hamm, and Kristine Lilly - I am truly humbled. And though my mother and father have passed, I can feel their pride swell.
