CHICAGO (Via U.S. Soccer) – The U.S. Under-17 Women’s National Team will head to Lakewood Ranch, Florida as head coach Mark Carr will run a large 40-player camp from May 14-21.

The USA is coming off a victorious run at the 2nd Torneo Femminile Delle Nazioni in Italy and Slovenia where it beat Italy 6-0 in the championship game. Sixteen players from the roster that captured that tournament title are included on the roster which features 37 players born in 2001, the age cut-off year for the next U-17 Women’s World Cup. The other three players were born in 2002. Of the 13 goals scored at the Torneo Delle Nazioni, players on this roster accounted for 10 of them. Forward Lia Godfrey, who scored the other three, is injured and was not available for this camp.

The roster includes three players taking part in their second U-17 WNT cycle: forward Jordan Canniff and defenders Kennedy Wesley and Kate Wiesner. Wesley and Wiesner shared the captaining duties in Italy. All three were on the U.S. team that played at the 2016 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in Jordan.

The large number of players coming to camp is reflective of this point at the beginning of the cycle as Carr continues to identify players that can help the team qualify for the 2018 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup that will be staged in Uruguay.

The USA will scrimmage against the Tampa Bay United Hellenic of the WPSL on May 20.
