Notes from Carson, Calif.
SECOND WEEK OF WNT TRAINING STARTS ON FEB. 9 WITH 26 PLAYERS: After a week of intense training with 35 players at The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif., U.S. Women’s National Team head coach Pia Sundhage has released 11 players, re-assigned one to the U-23 Women’s National Team, and called up three additional players, making for a group of 26 players that will train from Feb. 9-17 at The HDC. Following the completion of training camp, Sundhage will choose a 20-player roster for the 2008 Algarve Cup, which will be held March 5-12 in southern Portugal. The four matches at Algarve Cup are the next international games for the USA and the final official matches before the USA enters the CONCACAF Final Women’s Olympic Qualifying Tournament being held April 2-13 in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.
Cox, Buehler and White Join Camp
Defender Stephanie Cox, a starter in the 2007 FIFA Women’s World Cup, joins training camp on Saturday after being given last week off to rest and recuperate. Lopez was the only player on the Women’s World Cup Team who went straight into a collegiate season after the WWC last fall. In addition, defender Rachel Buehler, who was scheduled to travel to Spain with the U-23s but instead will train with the senior team, joins camp along with midfielder Kacey White, who has been playing in Sweden with the AIK club in Stockholm.
