With the amount of success the North Carolina Tar Heels women’s soccer team has had over its history, that’s led to plenty of Heels also having success in the sport. The history of the US women’s national soccer team is deeply intertwined with UNC, as many greats, from Mia Hamm to recent stars like Crystal Dunn, have come from Carolina. Pretty much every USWNT roster features at least Heel.
With UNC still regular contenders for the NCAA Tournament championship and current reigning champions, that’s likely to stay the case in the future. On Tuesday night, we saw some of new Tar Heel faces lead the way for the USWNT.
