Early life and education

edit

McCann was born in Providence, Rhode Island[1] and raised in Barrington, Rhode Island.[2] She attended the University of Connecticut.[2]

Career

edit

While attending the University of Connecticut, McCann played for the university's soccer team,[3] where she held the role of team captain.[2] In 1997, her team played in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) finals.[2]

Although McCann was initially denied a position on the Boston Breakers team in 2001, she was later "added to the reserve squad on a per diem basis"[2] and ultimately started in every game her first season on the team.[2][4] She remained on the team until the Women's United Soccer Association folded in 2003.[1]
