Nope
Harvard-GK
Umass - 2 forwards
That’s the two games I watched so far. Read bio because I couldn’t believe my eyes

I didn't mean to say that these foreign players might not be good, my point was that we should certainly be able to find equally competent players from the US also

That may be true, but simply means your daughter's college team has done a poor job of finding similar homegrown talent in the country with one of the strongest overall women's programs in the world

I work in this space. We are forecasting 40% growth of international US university placement in the next 7 years. Pipleines with the AD's are growing quickly.
Along with the as mentioned football skill superiority, the foriegn player offers diversity which the US universities crave.

True... but there are a couple of points to note... e.g. it is not unusual to have older 'freshmen' coming from overseas i.e. 19-20 year olds which naturally gives them a slight physical advantage....
US girls soccer is organized on a scale that other countries cannot match.... elite players from other countries tend to go through academy systems .... not colleges...

US universities crave the illusion foreign students come with deeper pockets and less need for aid - they by definition can't get US federal aid. With soccer, women already make up 34% of women's team so not sure how much growth except the fact the US is hitting a demographic cliff - especially in the northeast - starting in 2025 (the slowdown in US fertility rates starting with the 07-09 recession) or so.

With higher education, you have your elite schools that can afford diversity; the remainder *want* it but can't necessarily afford it - and remember international students tend to require more services (not surprising Canada/UK is top for soccer as those students assimilate easier), tend to graduate at a lower rate, and have the issue - if they want to stay - of the greater difficulty in getting work visas by employers.

As the other poster noted, the rise of top euroleague teams' academies for females will draw more of the top players away from the US college pipeline, but the next tier who wash out will still use that college route. Just don't see the growth at least on the female side in soccer beyond the plateau it's at - but again, hard to tell if the recession baby cliff will hit athletes to the same degree as normal students. Expect some lean times for many lower tier private schools in the middle to end of next decade.
