3 UCLA products named to Olympics squads in women’s soccer

The two North American countries participating in the women’s soccer tournament at the Tokyo Olympics this summer revealed their rosters on Wednesday, and there’s UCLA Bruins representation on both of them.

Midfielder Sam Mewis and defender Abby Dahlkemper have been named to the U.S. women’s national team by head coach Vlatko Andonovski, while midfielder Jessie Fleming has been selected to the Canada women’s national team by head coach Bev Priestman.

While Fleming is the youngest of the trio, at 23, this will be her second Olympics, after she won bronze with Canada at the Rio Olympics in 2016.
