Buchanan and Lawrence are the first active WVU women’s soccer players named to a national World Cup team.
“I am so proud of the hard work and effort Ashley and Kadeisha put in over the last few months to make the Canadian World Cup team,” said Mountaineer coach Nikki Izzo-Brown. “They have sacrificed so much to achieve their goal of representing their country at this high level. I know West Virginia University, the WVU athletic department and the women’s soccer program are so proud to have two elite soccer players be a part of our West Virginia family.
