She will head to Spain for three games
FORT WORTH –TCU women's soccer team member Yazmeen Ryan has been called up to the U-23 National Team to take part in three matches at the 2019 Women's International U-23 La Manga Tournament in Spain.
"We are very happy for her," raved TCU soccer head coach Eric Bell. "It's something she has been working hard for to get back into the National Team camp. Hopefully, it'll all go well for her in Spain and that they like what they see and they invite her back. I'm very proud of her and I'm proud of our program for preparing her to take that next step."
Ryan is in her second stint with USA Soccer. She participated in the U-18 National Team Training Camp in Lakewood Ranch, Fla. along with Messiah Bright. TCU has some more history with the Women's National Team as Kayla Hill participated in the U-19 National Training Camp in January of 2016. Emily Alvarado and Tayla Christensen also have international experience competing with Mexico and New Zealand, respectively.
The USA will face the U-23 squads from Sweden on April 5, France on April 7 and Italy on April 9. England and Norway will also participate in the six-country friendly competition, where every team will play three matches.
About The Team
The U.S. team will be coached by Mark Carr and will bring a mixed squad of U-23 and U-20 age players. The 20-player roster features 14 collegiate players, four players currently playing professionally in Europe and two youth club players.
Players born on or after January 1, 1996 (the age cut-off for this year's U.S. U-23 WNT) are age-eligible for this competition.
