Scarlet Knights in the Women’s World Cup
Jul 20 | Women's Soccer
Only 10 NCAA institutions have more World Cup representation than Rutgers University
AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND – Rutgers women's soccer will be represented by three alumni at the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand from July 20 through August 20.
Casey Murphy is set for her first World Cup with the United States Women's National Team. Chantelle Swaby and Tiernny Wiltshire take on the world with the Jamaica Women's National Team, with Swaby making her second World Cup appearance with the Jamaicans.
The 2023 edition of the Women's World Cup is the second consecutive FWWC with three Rutgers graduates, and the fifth straight with a Scarlet Knight wearing the Stars & Stripes with the USWNT, following Carli Lloyd's World Cup caps in 2007, 2011, 2015, and 2019 – with titles in '15 and '19. With three alums on World Cup rosters, only 10 institutions across the NCAA have more representation than Rutgers University.
Additionally, Carli Lloyd and Rutgers men's soccer alum Alexi Lalas will lead the Fox Sports studio analysis throughout the tournament.

Casey Murphy, the tallest goalkeeper in USWNT history at 6-foot-1, made one of the most impressive goalkeeper debuts in USWNT history, earning the shutout in a 3-0 victory over Australia in Sydney on November 27, 2021, making eight saves and gobbling up at least a half-dozen crosses in her first cap to become the seventh U.S. goalkeeper to earn a shutout in her debut. The Bridgewater, New Jersey native shortly after became the fastest goalkeeper in USWNT history to reach 10 shutouts in goal, recording the clean sheet against Ireland in April of 2023.
At Rutgers from 2014-17, Murphy was a two-time All-American, a two-time Big Ten Goalkeeper of the Year, and the all-time leader in shutouts with 45 "On the Banks."
Chantelle Swaby, a class of 2020 Rutgers graduate, was a three-time All-Big Ten defender and made All-Region First Team in 2017 as a sophomore. She makes her second World Cup appearance after helping lead the Reggae Girlz to their first qualification in 2019. Swaby started all three games and played 225 minutes in the group phase for the historic Jamaica roster, having earned its first-ever bid to the tournament and becoming the first Caribbean nation to qualify.
Tiernny Wiltshire played during the same span as Swaby, and earns her first World Cup roster with Jamaica. Wiltshire was named to the 2019 Big Ten All-Tournament Team and totaled 70 matches "On the Banks" with the Scarlet Knights. Wiltshire recently started her NWSL pro career, signing with the Houston Dash.
