JEFFERSON CITY, Tenn. – For two members of the defending South Atlantic Conference Carson-Newman women's soccer team, the Eagles aren't the only squad they represent. Northern Ireland natives Lauren Wade (Coleraine, Northern Ireland) and Jackie Burns (Cookstown, Northern Ireland) are both members of their country's Women's National Team.

It has taken time and hard work, but both players have earned the right to wear the colors of the land they call home.

In the final Sunday Conversation of the 2016-17 academic year, Wade and Burns discuss their time on Northern Ireland's national squad and what it's been like to represent their country on the international stage.
