CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Four Cavaliers have been tabbed for participation by U.S. Soccer for a combined U-18 and U-19 Youth National Team training camp at the U.S. Soccer National Training Center in Carson, Calif.
Forward Maggie Cagle and midfielder Jill Flammia, a pair of freshmen who just completed their first season with the Cavaliers this past fall, will be joined by incoming midfielder Yuna McCormack and incoming goalkeeper Victoria Safradin on the roster for the camp.
All the players in camp are age-eligible for the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup, the host of which has yet to be determined.

Cagle and Flammia helped the Cavaliers advance to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament this past season as Virginia battled eventual NCAA Champion UCLA into overtime. Cagle was an All-ACC third team and All-Freshman selection after tallying 12 assists and four goals on the season. Her 12 assists led all Division I freshmen this past season.
