CHICAGO - Five former Atlantic Coast Conference women’s soccer standouts were named to the United States Women’s National Team, announced Wednesday on the TODAY Show.

Boston College’s Kristie Mewis, North Carolina’s Crystal Dunn and Tobin Heath and Virginia’s Becky Sauerbrunn and Emily Sonnett will represent Team USA in the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. The ACC’s five selections are the second most of any conference.

Additionally, Florida State’s Casey Krueger is an alternate for the team.

Heath has earned a spot on a fourth consecutive Olympic Team and is one of just two players on the squad appearing in her fourth Olympics, joining Carli Lloyd. Sauerbrunn, the team captain, makes her third trip to the Olympics.

Dunn will appear in her second Olympic Games, while Mewis and Sonnett are first-time Olympians.

Eleven players who were on the USA’s roster for the 2016 Olympics in Brazil return, while 17 players who were members of the USA’s 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup championship team were named to the roster for Tokyo.

The U.S. will open Group G play on July 21 – two days before the Olympic Opening Ceremony– against Sweden (5:30 p.m. local / 4:30 a.m. ET) at Tokyo Stadium. The Americans will play their second match in Saitama – just about 18 miles north of Tokyo – when they face New Zealand at Saitama Stadium on July 24 (8:30 p.m. local / 7:30 a.m. ET). The USA will finish group play against Australia on July 27 (5 p.m. local / 4 a.m. ET) at the Ibaraki Kashima Stadium in Kashima, on the coast of Japan about 70 miles northeast of Tokyo.

The U.S. Olympic Women’s Soccer Team had advanced to the gold medal game of every Olympic Women’s Soccer Tournament that had been contested until 2016, when the Americans were knocked out in penalty kicks in the quarterfinal round by Sweden. The USA won the inaugural gold medal in 1996 in Atlanta, won silver in 2000 in Sydney and then won three straight golds after standing atop the podium in Athens, Greece in 2004, Beijing in 2008 and London in 2012.
