DURHAM, N.C. – The next U.S. Under-23 Women’s National Team camp will take place May 1-7 with Duke women’s soccer standout Christina Gibbons traveling to Charlottesville, Va., to train with 26 college players.
As the NWSL season started recently, the roster consists entirely of collegiate players, including nine who have represented the USA at an age group FIFA Women’s World Cup. Duke rising senior Toni Payne had been training with the U-23 squad but due to conflicts with exams she will not be attending the camp.
The U-23s are coming off a trip to Croatia in early March where a team that was a mixture of NWSL and college players defeated the Slovenia Women’s National Team 3-0, tied the Poland U-19 WNT 0-0 and defeated the France National “B” Team 2-0.
