Women’s World Cup Final: Stanford Alums aid US team to victory

Stanford continued its impressive string of dominance in women's soccer when Kelley O'Hara and Christen Press helped the United States' women's national team win the World Cup on Sunday. The United States defeated Japan 5-2.

Having a Stanford Alumnae on the US team may just be the secret to victory. According to Stanford Athletics:

"Stanford alumnae have been part of every major U.S. championship, with at least one player on teams that won World Cup titles in 1991, 1999, and 2015, and Olympic titles in 1996, 2004, 2008, and 2012."
