Rader, Roller Receive U.S. Soccer Training Call

DURHAM – As the U-18, U-19 and U-20 Women’s Youth National Teams head to the state of North Carolina for their April training camps, the Duke women’s soccer program will be well-represented once again with rising sophomore Kat Rader and incoming freshman Cameron Roller receiving invites.  

All three teams will train at the WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, N.C., along with on the campus of North Carolina and Duke from April 12-19.

During the four-day overlap between the camps, the teams will scrimmage against each other while U.S. U-20 Women’s Youth National Team head coach Tracey Kevins will evaluate all 46 players in preparation for choosing a 21-player roster that will compete in the 2023 Concacf Women’s Under-20 Championship May 25 through June 4 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.  

Both Rader and Roller trained with the U-18 and U-19 camps back in January.  

Of the 46 players coming to both U.S. camps, 16 were a part of either the USA’s 2022 U-17 or U-20 Women’s World Cup Teams.

The rosters are an almost even mix between college players and players finishing up their youth club careers. The U-20 roster features 13 college players and 13 youth club players. The U-19/U-18 roster features 12 college players and 14 youth club players.

All the players in both camps are age-eligible for the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup, the host of which has yet to be determined, which will feature players born on or after Jan. 1, 2004.
