Bridgewater Soccer Star Casey Murphy Heads To 2024 Olympics In Paris

BRIDGEWATER, NJ — Bridgewater native Casey Murphy is headed to the 2024 Olympics in Paris.

United States Women’s National Team(USWNT) Head Coach Emma Hayes named the 18-player roster plus four alternates for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, which includes Bridgewater-Raritan Regional High School graduate Murphy.

Murphy will play as the goalkeeper.

"Making an Olympic roster is a huge privilege and an honor and there is no denying that it was an extremely competitive process among the players and that there were difficult choices, especially considering how hard everyone has worked over the past 10 months," said Hayes.

Murphy previously played as the starting goalkeeper for the USA at the 2016 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Papua New Guinea where the USA finished fourth.

At 6-foot-1, Murphy is the tallest goalkeeper in USWNT history. She also recorded her 10th career shutout on April 11, 2023 against the Republic of Ireland, making her the ninth goalkeeper in USWNT history to reach double-digit shutouts.
