There were no surprises on April Heinrichs’ 18-player Olympic team. The U.S. women’s national team coach chose 15 players from the U.S. Women’s World Cup ’99 team plus Siri Mullinix, Danielle Slaton and Nikki Serlenga for her roster. Heinrichs also chose four alternates, two of whom will travel with the team to Australia. Former Portland defender Michelle French and current North Carolina goalkeeper Jenni Branam are the traveling alternates. The other alternates are UCLA freshman defender Nandi Pryce and Penn State sophomore striker Christie Welsh, who will stay with their respective college teams. 2000 U.S Women’s Olympic Team
