USWNT Climbs to Fourth FIH Hero World Ranking Following Performance in South Africa

LANCASTER, Pa. – Following an impressive performance at the FIH Hockey World League Semifinals in Johannesburg, South Africa, where they went on to win gold, the U.S. Women's National Team reached a new program milestone climbing from FIH Hero World Ranked No. 6 to No. 4. This new ranking has followed a five-year procession as the team rose from tenth to eighth, and ultimately clinching fifth in March 2015. The new ranking is a testament to USWNT Head Coach Janneke Schopman and her coaching staff's consistent hard work that has lead to strong performances, including the most recent in South Africa.
