U.S. head coach Michelle French has called up 27 players for the event, which includes six goalkeepers, but not Jane Campbell, the starter for the 2012 U.S. U-17 Women’s World Cup Team, who like several regular call-ups, is currently committed to summer school.
Only two players on the roster are not currently in college or headed to their freshman year this fall. Those are forward Lindsey Horan, the teams’ only professional player, who scored 17 times for Paris Saint-Germain in the French First Division this year, and midfielder Andi Sullivan, who just finished her junior year of high school.
