The Table Of The United States Women's National Team For The 2015 Women's World Cup And The Colleges They Went To

Here is the roster for the USWNT at the 2015 WWC. Obviously there are many holdovers from the squad that went to Germany for the 2011 World Cup, but here is the roster in full, new players as well as old. One note: Apparently FIFA expanded rosters from 21 in 2011 to 23 this year:

Number	Name	College
1	Hope Solo	Washington
2	Sydney Leroux	UCLA
3	Christie Rampone	Monmouth
4	Becky Sauerbrunn	Virginia
5	Kelley O'Hara	Stanford
6	Whitney Engen	North Carolina
7	Shannon Boxx	Notre Dame
8	Amy Rodriguez	USC
9	Heather O'Reilly	North Carolina
10	Carli Lloyd	Rutgers
11	Ali Krieger	Penn St.
12	Lauren Holiday	UCLA
13	Alex Morgan	Cal
14	Morgan Brian	Virginia
15	Megan Rapinoe	Portland
16	Lori Chalupny	North Carolina
17	Tobin Heath	North Carolina
18	Ashlyn Harris	North Carolina
19	Julie Johnston	Santa Clara
20	Abby Wambach	Florida
21	Alyssa Naeher	Penn St.
22	Meghan Klingenberg	North Carolina
23	Christen Press	Stanford

Observations: There is still the outlier of Monmouth, represented by the ageless Rampone. But the Hawks are joined in "Huh?"-ville by Santa Clara, represented by Julie Johnston, the breakout star/babe and, possibly, the player playing the best on the club right now. Otherwise it's a BcS-heavy squad (of course), with Notre Dame and Portland being exceptions that are not unfamiliar to the USWNT. What you also see, of course, is that Carolina is the alma mater of more than a quarter of the team. Anson Dorrance remains a god in women's soccer, even with that pesky sexual harassment story.

Go team!  Beat Germany!
