Two former Tar Heels make World Cup roster
The United States Women’s Soccer team will look to win their third-straight World Cup as they hit the pitch in July in Australia. And two former North Carolina standouts have made the roster.
With a month to go until the big event, both Emily Fox and Crystal Dunn were each named to the U.S. Women’s National Team’s roster for the 2023 Women’s World Cup.
Fox is making her first World Cup appearance after playing four seasons at North Carolina from 2017-2021. She was drafted No. 1 overall by Racing Louisville FC in the 2021 NWSL Draft.
As for Dunn, this is her second World Cup appearance after helping the team win it all back in 2019. Dunn played four years at UNC from 2010-2013.
