Crystal Dunn is one of five former Tar Heels on the current USWNT roster.
The United States Women's National Team won its world-best fourth Women's World Cup, defeating the Netherlands 2-0 for the 2019 title. Former Portland Pilot Megan Rapinoe and former Wisconsin Badger Rose Lavelle scored in the final match.
This year's World Cup team was led by a squad of former college stars. Twenty-one of the 23 players on the active roster played NCAA Division I women's soccer.

The Pac-12 boasts six soccer alumnae on the list, while the Big Ten, Big 12 and West Coast Conference also each have at least one representative on the national team.
