Racioppi Trains with U.S. U-20 National Team
5/12/2015 9:42:00 AM | Women's Soccer
DURHAM, N.C. – Blue Devil incoming freshman Taylor Racioppi is currently training with the U.S. Under-20 Women's National Team at the U.S. Soccer National Training Center in Carson, Calif. Racioppi is among 24 players that are participating in a training camp from May 9-18.
U.S. head coach Michelle French is using the camp to make her final roster selections for the upcoming 2015 U-20 Women's NTC Invitational, which will be held at the U.S. Soccer NTC from June 2-6. All the matches of the tournament will be broadcast on ussoccer.com.
Racioppi, who hails from Ocean Township, N.J., signed with Duke in February and will be a freshman with the Blue Devils in the fall of 2015. The midfielder is ranked as the No. 2 overall player in the class of 2015 by TopDrawerSoccer.com and currently attends Academy of Allied Health and Science. She compiled 50 goals, 16 assists and 116 points over three years of high school soccer.
In addition to the USA, the four-team NTC Invitational will also feature U-20 sides from Japan, Brazil and Mexico, bringing some of the top young players in the world to southern California. More details on the tournament, along with the game schedule, will be released at a later date.
This age group is focusing on qualifying for the 2016 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, which has an age cut-off of players born on or after Jan. 1, 1996. FIFA recently announced that the tournament will be held in Papau New Guinea and the CONCACAF qualifying tournament is scheduled for Dec. 3-13, 2015 in San Pedro Sula, Honduras.
