CHANTELLE SWABY | JAMAICAN WOMEN"S NATIONAL TEAM
Swaby joins the historic Jamaica roster after the country earned its first-ever bid to the FIFA Women's World Cup, becoming the first Caribbean nation to qualify. The Reggae Girlz progressed through the Caribbean zone of the qualifying to reach the 2018 CONCACAF Women's Championship. At the Championship, the squad secured a third-place finish and a spot at France 2019 with a dramatic penalty shoot-out win over Panama.
Swaby joins her sister Allyson Swaby on the 23-player roster, both having helped the nation
earn its bid in October.
As a Scarlet Knight this fall, Swaby earned Third Team All-Big Ten honors after fueling a back line that led the conference in GAA. Swaby and the defense guided the program to its highest-ever finish in the Big Ten as runner-up to the regular season title.

Former Scarlet Knight defender
Shannon Woeller was named the Canadian Women's National Team. Canada earned its bid before falling in the CONCACAF finals to host and world champion USA.
