COLLEGE STATION, Texas – Sophomore Mikaela Harvey is joining this week's United States Soccer Under-20 Women's National Team training camp. The United States U20 WNT will hold a training camp from May 9-18 as 24 players will come to the U.S. Soccer National Training Center in Carson, California.
In March, Harvey helped propel the United States U20 squad to a 3-0 record at the Ten Nations tournament in La Manga Spain, scoring the Americans' first goal in a 2-0 win over the Netherlands.
Fighting through a pair of injuries, Harvey played in 21 games as a freshman at Texas A&M, including eight starts. She tallied two assists on the year.
United States head coach Michelle French will use the camp to make her final roster selections for the upcoming 2015 U-20 Women's National Training Center Invitational, which will be held at the U.S. Soccer NTC from June 2-6. All the matches of the tournament will be broadcast on ussoccer.com.
In addition to the USA, the four-team NTC Invitational will also feature U-20 sides from Japan, Brazil and Mexico, bringing some of the top young players in the world to southern California. More details on the tournament, along with the game schedule, will be released at a later date.
This age group is focusing on qualifying for the 2016 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, which has an age cut-off of players born on or after Jan. 1, 1996. FIFA recently announced that the tournament will be held in Papau New Guinea and the CONCACAF qualifying tournament is scheduled for Dec. 3-13, 2015 in San Pedro Sula, Honduras.
